SQL - How to find currently running job steps through TSQL - sql

Question

I am writing a query to find currently running job in SQL (I know we can view it in Job Active Monitor, but I've a need to do in TSQL). Though I can query sysjobactivity table to find currently running job, it's nowhere telling what job step is running (because my job might have more than 1 step).
Query I used:
SELECT s.name AS [JOB_NAME],
'' AS [STEP_ID],
'' AS STEP_NAME,
'Processing' AS STATUS,
sja.run_requested_date AS START_TIME,
null AS END_DATE,
convert(varchar, (getdate() - sja.run_requested_date), 8) AS Duration
FROM sysjobactivity sja, sysjobs s
WHERE sja.job_id = s.job_id
AND sja.run_requested_date > getdate() - 1
AND sja.stop_execution_date IS NULL
Please help me finding the step ID & Step name in which the job is currently progressing.

Answer 1

I think below script help to get SQL Jobs with current execution step, try this
msdb.dbo.sp_help_job #execution_status = 1

Answer 2

DECLARE #StepCount INT
SELECT #StepCount = COUNT(1)
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps
WHERE job_id = '0523333-5C24-1526-8391-AA84749345666' --JobID
SELECT
[JobName]
,[JobStepID]
,[JobStepName]
,[JobStepStatus]
,[RunDateTime]
,[RunDuration]
FROM
(
SELECT
j.[name] AS [JobName]
,Jh.[step_id] AS [JobStepID]
,jh.[step_name] AS [JobStepName]
,CASE
WHEN jh.[run_status] = 0 THEN 'Failed'
WHEN jh.[run_status] = 1 THEN 'Succeeded'
WHEN jh.[run_status] = 2 THEN 'Retry (step only)'
WHEN jh.[run_status] = 3 THEN 'Canceled'
WHEN jh.[run_status] = 4 THEN 'In-progress message'
WHEN jh.[run_status] = 5 THEN 'Unknown'
ELSE 'N/A'
END AS [JobStepStatus]
,msdb.dbo.agent_datetime(run_date, run_time) AS [RunDateTime]
,CAST(jh.[run_duration]/10000 AS VARCHAR) + ':' + CAST(jh.[run_duration]/100%100 AS VARCHAR) + ':' + CAST(jh.[run_duration]%100 AS VARCHAR) AS [RunDuration]
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER
(
PARTITION BY jh.[run_date]
ORDER BY jh.[run_date] DESC, jh.[run_time] DESC
) AS [RowNumber]
FROM
msdb.[dbo].[sysjobhistory] jh
INNER JOIN msdb.[dbo].[sysjobs] j
ON jh.[job_id] = j.[job_id]
WHERE
j.[name] = 'ProcessCubes' --Job Name
AND jh.[step_id] > 0
AND CAST(RTRIM(run_date) AS DATE) = CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) --Current Date
) A
WHERE
[RowNumber] <= #StepCount
AND [JobStepStatus] = 'Failed'

Try this:
SELECT distinct
cast([sJOB].[job_id] as varchar(max)) AS execution_id
, [sJSTP].[step_name] AS executable_name
, [sJOB].[name] AS package_name
, CASE [sJSTP].[run_date]
WHEN 0 THEN NULL
ELSE
CAST(
CAST([sJSTP].[run_date] AS CHAR(8))
+ ' '
+ STUFF(
STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([sJSTP].[run_time] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6)
, 3, 0, ':')
, 6, 0, ':')
AS DATETIME)
END AS start_time,
dateadd(ss, run_duration, CASE [sJSTP].[run_date]
WHEN 0 THEN NULL
ELSE
CAST(
CAST([sJSTP].[run_date] AS CHAR(8))
+ ' '
+ STUFF(
STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([sJSTP].[run_time] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6)
, 3, 0, ':')
, 6, 0, ':')
AS DATETIME)
END) end_time
-- , [sJSTP].[run_duration] [looptijd in minuten]
, CASE [sJSTP].[run_status]
WHEN 0 THEN 'Failed'
WHEN 1 THEN 'Success'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Retry'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Cancelled'
WHEN 5 THEN 'Unknown'
END AS execution_result_description
FROM
[msdb].[dbo].[sysjobhistory] AS [sJSTP]
INNER JOIN [msdb].[dbo].[sysjobs] AS [sJOB]
ON [sJSTP].[job_id] = [sJOB].[job_id]
inner join [msdb].[dbo].[sysjobsteps] steps
ON [sJSTP].[job_id] = [steps].[job_id]
where [sJSTP].[run_date] <> 0
and CASE [sJSTP].[run_date]
WHEN 0 THEN NULL
ELSE
CAST(
CAST([sJSTP].[run_date] AS CHAR(8))
+ ' '
+ STUFF(
STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([sJSTP].[run_time] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6)
, 3, 0, ':')
, 6, 0, ':')
AS DATETIME)
END between dateadd(hh, -20, getdate()) and getdate()
and [sJSTP].[step_name] not in ('(Job outcome)')
order by start_time desc
Additionally I use this query to see step result from a running SSIS job. However, this only shows you the finished steps, not the running ones. I still have to find an SQL to see the currently running step and merge it with this one.
select distinct
cast(e.execution_id as varchar(max)),
e.executable_name,
e.package_name,
CONVERT(datetime, es.start_time) AS start_time
, CONVERT(datetime, es.end_time) AS end_time
, datediff(mi, es.start_time, es.end_time) [running time]
, case es.execution_result
when 0 then 'Success'
when 1 then 'Failed'
when 2 then 'Completion'
when 3 then 'Cancelled'
else cast(es.execution_result as varchar(max)) end as execution_result_description
from ssisdb.catalog.executables e
left join ssisdb.catalog.executable_statistics es
on e.executable_id = es.executable_id
and e.execution_id = es.execution_id
order by 6 desc
