Create a SQL Server Agent Job in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

  • Artikel

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Managed Instance

Important

On Azure SQL Managed Instance, most SQL Server Agent features are supported. See Azure SQL Managed Instance T-SQL differences for more details.

This article explains how to create a SQL Server Agent job using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), Transact-SQL (T-SQL), or SQL Server Management Objects (SMO).

To add job steps, schedules, alerts, and notifications that can be sent to operators, see the links to topics in the See Also section.

Prerequisites

  • User must be a member of SQL Server Agent fixed database roles or the sysadmin role.
  • Only job owners or members of sysadmin can modify jobs.
  • Assigning a job to another login does not guarantee sufficient permissions to run the job.

Security Considerations

  • Only sysadmin can change the job owner.
  • Sysadmin can assign job ownership to other users and run any job.
  • Jobs with steps requiring proxy accounts need to ensure the new owner has access to those proxies, or the job will fail.

How to Create a Job using SSMS

  1. In Object Explorer, expand the server where the job will be created.
  2. Expand SQL Server Agent.
  3. Right-click Jobs and select New Job....
  4. On the General page, configure job properties. For more details, see Job Properties - General Page.
  5. On the Steps page, configure the job steps. For more details, see Job Properties - Steps Page.
  6. On the Schedules page, set job schedules. For more details, see Job Properties - Schedules Page.
  7. On the Alerts page, configure job alerts. For more details, see Job Properties - Alerts Page.
  8. On the Notifications page, configure job completion notifications. For more details, see Job Properties - Notifications Page.
  9. On the Targets page, configure the target servers. For more details, see Job Properties - Targets Page.
  10. Select OK to save the job.

How to Create a Job Using Transact-SQL (T-SQL)

  1. In Object Explorer, connect to the server.

  2. Open a New Query window.

  3. Copy and paste the following script:

    USE msdb ;
GO
EXEC dbo.sp_add_job @job_name = N'Weekly Sales Data Backup' ;
GO
EXEC sp_add_jobstep
    @job_name = N'Weekly Sales Data Backup',
    @step_name = N'Set database to read only',
    @subsystem = N'TSQL',
    @command = N'ALTER DATABASE SALES SET READ_ONLY',
    @retry_attempts = 5,
    @retry_interval = 5 ;
GO
EXEC dbo.sp_add_schedule
    @schedule_name = N'RunOnce',
    @freq_type = 1,
    @active_start_time = 233000 ;
GO
EXEC sp_attach_schedule
    @job_name = N'Weekly Sales Data Backup',
    @schedule_name = N'RunOnce';
GO
EXEC dbo.sp_add_jobserver @job_name = N'Weekly Sales Data Backup';
GO

Use SQL Server Management Objects

To create a SQL Server Agent job using SQL Server Management Objects (SMO):

Call the Create method of the Job class by using a programming language that you choose, such as Visual Basic, Visual C#, or PowerShell. For example code, see Scheduling Automatic Administrative Tasks in SQL Server Agent.
