Sql agent job last run status - sql

Question

I have N jobs with M steps in each, that could change any time(Add/delete some steps). Jobs have different schedule to run. I want a query to get last run status, job id, job name of each job. Is it right way to do this scenario by (Job outcome) ?

Answer 1

This is the query I use (a little tuned) to check job status. This variation will select the last job outcome for each job.
SELECT
JobName = J.name,
H.*
FROM
msdb.dbo.sysjobs AS J
CROSS APPLY (
SELECT TOP 1
JobName = J.name,
StepNumber = T.step_id,
StepName = T.step_name,
StepStatus = CASE T.run_status
WHEN 0 THEN 'Failed'
WHEN 1 THEN 'Succeeded'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Retry'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Canceled'
ELSE 'Running' END,
ExecutedAt = msdb.dbo.agent_datetime(T.run_date, T.run_time),
ExecutingHours = ((T.run_duration/10000 * 3600 + (T.run_duration/100) % 100 * 60 + T.run_duration % 100 + 31 ) / 60) / 60,
ExecutingMinutes = ((T.run_duration/10000 * 3600 + (T.run_duration/100) % 100 * 60 + T.run_duration % 100 + 31 ) / 60) % 60,
Message = T.message
FROM
msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory AS T
WHERE
T.job_id = J.job_id
ORDER BY
T.instance_id DESC) AS H
ORDER BY
J.name
If you change the TOP 1 for TOP 2, then you will also see the last step executed, aside from the job outcome.

You can not get everything in a single query and need more research. For e.g., to know Job execution information you can try the following query.
SELECT
[sJOB].[job_id] AS [JobID]
, [sJOB].[name] AS [JobName]
, CASE
WHEN [sJOBH].[run_date] IS NULL OR [sJOBH].[run_time] IS NULL THEN NULL
ELSE CAST(
CAST([sJOBH].[run_date] AS CHAR(8))
+ ' '
+ STUFF(
STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([sJOBH].[run_time] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6)
, 3, 0, ':')
, 6, 0, ':')
AS DATETIME)
END AS [LastRunDateTime]
, CASE [sJOBH].[run_status]
WHEN 0 THEN 'Failed'
WHEN 1 THEN 'Succeeded'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Retry'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Canceled'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Running' -- In Progress
END AS [LastRunStatus]
, STUFF(
STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([sJOBH].[run_duration] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6)
, 3, 0, ':')
, 6, 0, ':')
AS [LastRunDuration (HH:MM:SS)]
, [sJOBH].[message] AS [LastRunStatusMessage]
, CASE [sJOBSCH].[NextRunDate]
WHEN 0 THEN NULL
ELSE CAST(
CAST([sJOBSCH].[NextRunDate] AS CHAR(8))
+ ' '
+ STUFF(
STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([sJOBSCH].[NextRunTime] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6)
, 3, 0, ':')
, 6, 0, ':')
AS DATETIME)
END AS [NextRunDateTime]
FROM
[msdb].[dbo].[sysjobs] AS [sJOB]
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT
[job_id]
, MIN([next_run_date]) AS [NextRunDate]
, MIN([next_run_time]) AS [NextRunTime]
FROM [msdb].[dbo].[sysjobschedules]
GROUP BY [job_id]
) AS [sJOBSCH]
ON [sJOB].[job_id] = [sJOBSCH].[job_id]
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT
[job_id]
, [run_date]
, [run_time]
, [run_status]
, [run_duration]
, [message]
, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
PARTITION BY [job_id]
ORDER BY [run_date] DESC, [run_time] DESC
) AS RowNumber
FROM [msdb].[dbo].[sysjobhistory]
WHERE [step_id] = 0
) AS [sJOBH]
ON [sJOB].[job_id] = [sJOBH].[job_id]
AND [sJOBH].[RowNumber] = 1
ORDER BY [JobName]
