How to find all SQL Agent jobs that call this stored-proc

Question

I am in SQL 2008 / R2. I want to run a query to see if there is an SQL agent job invoking the specified stored process (too much to check manually).

Answer 1

Here is a query that will give you this and much more (look at the WHERE for the stored proc name):

 SELECT [sJOB].[job_id] AS [JobID] , [sJOB].[name] AS [JobName] , [sJSTP].[step_uid] AS [StepID] , [sJSTP].[step_id] AS [StepNo] , [sJSTP].[step_name] AS [StepName] , CASE [sJSTP].[subsystem] WHEN 'ActiveScripting' THEN 'ActiveX Script' WHEN 'CmdExec' THEN 'Operating system (CmdExec)' WHEN 'PowerShell' THEN 'PowerShell' WHEN 'Distribution' THEN 'Replication Distributor' WHEN 'Merge' THEN 'Replication Merge' WHEN 'QueueReader' THEN 'Replication Queue Reader' WHEN 'Snapshot' THEN 'Replication Snapshot' WHEN 'LogReader' THEN 'Replication Transaction-Log Reader' WHEN 'ANALYSISCOMMAND' THEN 'SQL Server Analysis Services Command' WHEN 'ANALYSISQUERY' THEN 'SQL Server Analysis Services Query' WHEN 'SSIS' THEN 'SQL Server Integration Services Package' WHEN 'TSQL' THEN 'Transact-SQL script (T-SQL)' ELSE sJSTP.subsystem END AS [StepType] , [sPROX].[name] AS [RunAs] , [sJSTP].[database_name] AS [Database] , [sJSTP].[command] AS [ExecutableCommand] , CASE [sJSTP].[on_success_action] WHEN 1 THEN 'Quit the job reporting success' WHEN 2 THEN 'Quit the job reporting failure' WHEN 3 THEN 'Go to the next step' WHEN 4 THEN 'Go to Step: ' + QUOTENAME(CAST([sJSTP].[on_success_step_id] AS VARCHAR(3))) + ' ' + [sOSSTP].[step_name] END AS [OnSuccessAction] , [sJSTP].[retry_attempts] AS [RetryAttempts] , [sJSTP].[retry_interval] AS [RetryInterval (Minutes)] , CASE [sJSTP].[on_fail_action] WHEN 1 THEN 'Quit the job reporting success' WHEN 2 THEN 'Quit the job reporting failure' WHEN 3 THEN 'Go to the next step' WHEN 4 THEN 'Go to Step: ' + QUOTENAME(CAST([sJSTP].[on_fail_step_id] AS VARCHAR(3))) + ' ' + [sOFSTP].[step_name] END AS [OnFailureAction] FROM [msdb].[dbo].[sysjobsteps] AS [sJSTP] INNER JOIN [msdb].[dbo].[sysjobs] AS [sJOB] ON [sJSTP].[job_id] = [sJOB].[job_id] LEFT JOIN [msdb].[dbo].[sysjobsteps] AS [sOSSTP] ON [sJSTP].[job_id] = [sOSSTP].[job_id] AND [sJSTP].[on_success_step_id] = [sOSSTP].[step_id] LEFT JOIN [msdb].[dbo].[sysjobsteps] AS [sOFSTP] ON [sJSTP].[job_id] = [sOFSTP].[job_id] AND [sJSTP].[on_fail_step_id] = [sOFSTP].[step_id] LEFT JOIN [msdb].[dbo].[sysproxies] AS [sPROX] ON [sJSTP].[proxy_id] = [sPROX].[proxy_id] WHERE [sJSTP].[command] LIKE '%MyStoredProc%' ORDER BY [JobName], [StepNo] 

The loan should go to the article "Requesting SQL Server Agent Job Information" for the most part of the above request.

Answer 2

You can use this query -

 SELECT s.step_id, j.[name], s.database_name, s.command FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps AS s INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs AS j ON s.job_id = j.job_id WHERE s.command LIKE '%Stored_procedure%' 

Answer 3

There is an alternative to search for all procedures called by all tasks within a specific instance:

 SELECT jss.jobname, jss.step_name, p.name FROM sys.procedures p CROSS apply ( SELECT j.name AS jobname, js.step_name FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps js INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs j ON js.job_id=j.job_id WHERE js.command LIKE '%'+p.name+'%' ) jss
