I am trying to execute a SQL Server 2008 job using an execute SQL task in SSIS Package.

I used EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job N'MORNING - iflagship_DataLoad_FULL';

This works on starting the job but it returns success when the job starts . I want the EXECUTE SQL TASK to stay Yellow (Executing) until the job is finished and than turn Green (Success ) before it goes to the next step.

Any ideas how this can be possible ?

The below code executes the job but returns success right away even when the job is still running.

     alter procedure [dbo].[StartAgentJobAndWait](@job nvarchar(128),       @maxwaitmins int = 0) --, @result int output)
     as begin

     set NOCOUNT ON;
    set XACT_ABORT ON;

BEGIN TRY

declare @running as int
declare @seccount as int
declare @maxseccount as int
declare @start_job as bigint
declare @run_status as int

set @start_job = cast(convert(varchar, getdate(), 112) as bigint) * 1000000 + datepart(hour, getdate()) * 10000 + datepart(minute, getdate()) * 100 + datepart(second, getdate())

set @maxseccount = 60*@maxwaitmins
set @seccount = 0
set @running = 0



declare @job_owner sysname
declare @job_id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER

set @job_owner = SUSER_SNAME()

-- get job id
select @job_id=job_id
from msdb.dbo.sysjobs sj
where sj.name='Check for Dealers Sent not Boarded on CSC'

-- invalid job name then exit with an error
if @job_id is null
    RAISERROR (N'Unknown job: %s.', 16, 1, 'Check for Dealers Sent not Boarded on CSC')

-- output from stored procedure xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs is captured in the following table
declare @xp_results TABLE ( job_id                UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL,

  • I see that in the sample code the jobname is hardcoded. Try to get a fresh one from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10648475/need-to-start-agent-job-and-wait-until-completes-and-get-success-or-failure – Ako Feb 19 '15 at 21:52

Are the 2 SSIS tasks linked to each other? It would be helpful if you could provide a screenshot of the SSIS package

  • The SSIS package just includes one Control Flow that Is "EXECUTE SQL TASK" which just executes the stored procedure below. – ShrutiShah Feb 20 '15 at 14:19
