I'm trying to create a scheduled job based out of saved query in big query. I'm following steps as per documentation here
After entering all the filelds, I'm getting response "Error creating scheduled query: Aq" with no additional details.
In on BigQuery documentation also, I didn't find anything.
I could run the query which I'm trying to create a schedule for, is running fine and giving appropriate results.
It turned out that, when schedule query is created for first time, the console is taking permission by take user to new tab in browser. Browser settings was suppressing it.
After acknowledging the required permissions, I could create scheduled query successfully.

I have created a View in BigQuery and want to set it to update. When trying to save a query in a Schedule Query, an error occurs: Scheduled Query Error
This error is about permissions. You need these permissions to create a query scheduler with BigQuery:
bigquery.transfers.update or (bigquery.jobs.create and
bigquery.transfers.get )
bigquery.jobs.create
bigquery.datasets.update
Another option is adding this role roles/bigquery.admin , including all the permissions you need to schedule or modify a query.
You can read more information about permissions.
When I run a query, unless I manually specify the data location to run the query, BQ defaults to the US multi-region and uses resources in the US.
But then, The BQ Data Transfer Service throws an error since I are now trying to export the data from a query that was executed in US to a table that sits in EU.
So, to fix that, before you schedule the query, I have to go under the query detailed settings, and change the Data Location to EU
Then save these settings, and finish scheduling the query.
Before that, make sure you have enable the Billing

And then maybe because of BigQuery Data Transfer Service (trusted through the pop-up windows……)
bother me a lot……
If the pop-up window does not appear, you should check the address bar to make sure the window is not blocked, if it's not the cause,you can try to change the location of data(related to where you store your data),and submit.

I had the same problem and it turned out to be the pop-up blocker on my Firefox browser. The pop-up blocker on Chrome also stopped the scheduled query working but Chrome was a bit more visible that pop-ups were blocked.
On Firefox, click on the circled icon in the address bar to see blocked pop-ups
Change the pop-up permission to 'Allow'.
I had exactly this generic error message 'Scheduled query error', and it was driving me mad. I checked all permissions and locations etc.
I turns out that the 'Time Travel Window' was set to less than 48 hours for the dataset I was trying to write into. Which apparently BigQuery doesn't like.
To fix this I executed this query
ALTER SCHEMA `PROJECTNAME.DATASETNAME`
SET OPTIONS(
max_time_travel_hours = 72);
A few days ago, I started receiving an error in my Scheduled Queries dashboard Error loading location europe-west8: BigQuery Data Transfer Service does not yet support location: europe-west8.
I'm in the US, so I have set all 4 of my storage buckets are set to US or REGION, and have confirmed their locations.
Datasets are all US:
Scheduled queries are all Region "us"
Since this error started, my BigQuery Scheduled Queries that append data to tables have stopped running.
Where can I change the setting that seems to be calling europe-west8?
You need to check the region of the dataset you are using. The destination table for your scheduled query must be in the same region as the data being queried.
You can see the scheduled queries are supported in these locations here.
You specify a location for storing your BigQuery data when you create a dataset. After you create the dataset, the location cannot be changed, but you can copy the dataset to a different location, or manually move (recreate) the dataset in a different location.
You can see more information about how locations work in BigQuery here.
EDIT
This is a known issue from BigQuery UI, and the engineering team is aware of and is working towards a solution, although so far there isn't a specific ETA. Feel free to start the issue to raise further awareness towards it.
There are two possible workarounds you can try to circumvent this.
More specifically,
Workaround#1
Using the old UI, you can do it by clicking on "Disable editor
tabs".
Workaround#2
In Scheduled Query Editor > click the SCHEDULE dropdown > choose "Enable scheduled queries".
The overlay shows up with the message box ("Enable scheduled queries").
Click anywhere on the screen to close the overlay
Click the SCHEDULE dropdown again, and the create/update options are there.
If you are running schedule queries check that the processing location is set to the location of your data source and the destination table is also correct.
Checking the docs about setting a query location.

I just started a new project on Google Cloud, set up some bigquery datasets and tables. I now want to set up some scheduled queries. I have already enabled BigQuery Data Transfer API. My query is valid (it's just SELECT * FROM table). I can't find anything about this error online.
See screenshot
UPDATE: I've experimented a bit and it seems to be an organization wide issue. All projects, new and old within my organization get this same error when trying to schedule a query. I tried for a project in a different organization and did not have the issue. What could be causing this error for ALL projects in an organization?
UPDATE 2:
By querying a table that is not empty the error change to "Error creating scheduled query: Yn" instead of "Error creating scheduled query: er" (when the scheduled query would have queried an empty table).
I faced the same issue than you, and basically I just needed to run the query first before creating the the scheduled query... And that did the trick.
from the BQ FAQs :
"Scheduled queries use features of BigQuery Data Transfer Service. Verify that you have completed all actions required in Enabling BigQuery Data Transfer Service."
basically, what this means is that you need to enable the data transfer api in your project, AND give the user who creates the scheduled query a BQ admin role in order to have the right permissions to access that transfer service.
If done right, you should get a popup when creating the scheduled query to confirm that the data transfer service has access to your uses account (if you block popups you might not see this message and get stuck)
If this error only occurs in your organisation, I believe it might be caused by a organisation policy on Google Cloud. I would encourage you to double check if there is any org policy causing this error. If that's not the case, open a support ticket with GCP.
What worked for me was signing in through Incognito Mode with just my account and attempting to save the scheduled query. I have multiple Google Accounts signed it at one time and for whatever reason, BigQuery throws this generic error after authorization is successful and BigQuery is granted the access it requested.
You need to make sure that you are creating the query under the project targeted not in any other projects because it won't appear
Also you need to enable the API as one of the above answers
This eventually worked for me when i ran this in an cognito window
I have a dataset located in Europe-west3, and i'm trying to setup scheduled queries on that dataset. However, when setting up the scheduled query, the "processing location" option doesn't contain Europe-west3 as an option. Leaving it as "default" makes the processing location be US, and then the query is unable to run. There are only like 7 procesing locations available, i tried both EU and Europe-west2, but neither work.
I don't really know what to do to get my queries to run on schedule. I can run the queries just fine normally, but trying to schedule them the processing location simply wont let me pick the correct location.
Any ideas?
Currently Schedule Queries does not support region europe-west3. Follow (star) this public issue tracker to stay updated.
Right now if you need to implement scheduled queries you should create a replica of that dataset in another region that is supported and run them there. I would suggest creating a copy of that dataset in another region. However, this feature is also not available for region europe-west3 right now.
I hope you can achieve what you desire without many headaches.
Occasionally, when using the BigQuery web interface I receive an error banner at the top of the page saying unable to find destination table: <table_name> where table_name is something like anon_somerandomgibberish. I also had this happen when specifying a destination table for a query. Is this due to a temporary issue in the BigQuery service? If so, is there anything that I can do to retrieve the results of the query without having to re-execute it?
This error appears when attempting to show the results of a query and a BigQuery API call to get the table details fails or times out. This could happen for a number of reasons, such as the table having been deleted or flakiness in the BigQuery service.
If this happens again, you can use the network tab in the Chrome (or another browser's) dev tools to see which API call is failing and with what error. The URL of the failure should contain the name of the table that the error message complains about. If you can share those details with us, it can help us determine if there's a bug in the UI or whether something is going wrong with the API service.
If you would like to retrieve the results of a previously run query, you can click on the Query History in the left nav, open the relevant query, and click the "Show Previous Results" button. Note that this button will only be present if the destination table still exists. Another option, if you know the full job ID of the query, is to navigate to
