Query to find long running jobs in SQL server - sql

Question

select
j.name as 'JobName',
run_date,
run_time,
msdb.dbo.agent_datetime(run_date, run_time) as 'RunDateTime',
h.run_duration,
((run_duration/10000*3600 + (run_duration/100)%100*60 + run_duration%100 + 31 ) / 60)
as 'RunDurationMinutes'
From msdb.dbo.sysjobs j
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory h
ON j.job_id = h.job_id
where j.enabled = 1
AND
((run_duration/10000*3600 + (run_duration/100)%100*60 + run_duration%100 + 31 ) / 60) > 1
The above SQL query will fetch list of a all jobs that takes more then a minute.
But it give a huge list, i dont want that all.
I just want last 2 run of every jobs.
I tried using top 2 and order by desc but it does not list all the jobs in the list.
I just want last 2 run of every job.
Any suggestions.?

Answer 1

Look at ROW_NUMER() ranging function:
select * from (
select
j.name as 'JobName',
run_date,
run_time,
msdb.dbo.agent_datetime(run_date, run_time) as 'RunDateTime',
h.run_duration,
((run_duration/10000*3600 + (run_duration/100)%100*60 + run_duration%100 + 31 ) / 60)
as 'RunDurationMinutes',
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY j.name ORDER BY msdb.dbo.agent_datetime(run_date, run_time) DESC) NROW
From msdb.dbo.sysjobs j
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory h
ON j.job_id = h.job_id
where j.enabled = 1
AND
((run_duration/10000*3600 + (run_duration/100)%100*60 + run_duration%100 + 31 ) / 60) > 1
) t where nrow < 3
To make things clear I have done:
Add new column to your query:
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY j.name ORDER BY msdb.dbo.agent_datetime(run_date, run_time) DESC) NROW
This column group by all the records by j.name field and number each group by 'RunDateTime' field.
Now we need to get all the records where NROW == 1 or NROW == 2. I have created subquery (not sure it is a best solution) and and WHERE condition
select * from ( ... ) t where nrow < 3

Try this
SELECT
r.session_id, r.start_time,
TotalElapsedTime_ms = r.total_elapsed_time
, r.[status]
, r.command
, DatabaseName = DB_Name(r.database_id)
, r.wait_type
, r.last_wait_type
, r.wait_resource
, r.cpu_time
, r.reads
, r.writes
, r.logical_reads
, t.[text] AS [executing batch]
, SUBSTRING(
t.[text], r.statement_start_offset / 2,
( CASE WHEN r.statement_end_offset = -1 THEN DATALENGTH (t.[text])
ELSE r.statement_end_offset
END - r.statement_start_offset ) / 2
) AS [executing statement]
, p.query_plan
FROM
sys.dm_exec_requests r
CROSS APPLY
sys.dm_exec_sql_text(r.sql_handle) AS t
CROSS APPLY
sys.dm_exec_query_plan(r.plan_handle) AS p
ORDER BY
r.total_elapsed_time DESC;
