Hi All,
I have a fresh install of SQL 2008 Enterprise x64 and am having the following issues with the Agent :

Job history is showing 2 rows for some jobsteps, 1 shows as still running, the other showing either failed or completed.

The 2nd problem is, some jobs are not retaining more than the last runs worth of history, even though we have not restricted how many lines per job to keep.

Has anyone got any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Clint

For the first issue, is it because the job step has retries greater than 1?

No, Retry Attempts are set to 0.

Sorry, I don't have an answer then. I haven't started using SQL 2008, so I'm unable to check my systems for the issue you have reported.

Thanks Tara,
I can handle the multiple entries in the history, what is really messing with me is losing ALL the history.

Does anyone know if there is an auto purge history feature in 2008?
