Job properties (Management Studio)

  • Article

Use the Job Properties page to view information about an in-progress report or subscription before you cancel it.

To open this page, start SQL Server Management Studio, connect to a report server, and open the Jobs folder. Right-click a job that is running, and then select Properties.

Note

This feature is not supported in SQL Server Express with Advanced Services. The page does not appear when you are running SQL Server Express.

Tasks

Before you can view information about a job, refresh the page to retrieve information about jobs that are currently running on the report server:

  1. Open the report server folder.

  2. Right-click Jobs, and then select Refresh.

  3. If a job is listed, right-click the job, and then select Properties.

Options

Job ID
A GUID that is assigned to a job while it's processing. The value is randomly generated each time a report or subscription runs.

Job Status
Valid values are New and Running. Status is always New when the job begins. After 60 seconds, status changes to Running. You must refresh the page to pick up the change.

Job Type
Valid values are User and System. A user job is any job that an individual user initiates. This job includes running a report on-demand, manually generating a report history snapshot, or manually creating a report execution snapshot. An in-progress standard subscription is also a user job. A system job is a job that the report server initiates. System jobs include report processing that a schedule triggers.

Job Action
For reports, this column shows the report execution processes that are underway. This value is always Render.

Job Description
Reporting Services doesn't provide job descriptions by default.

Server Name
Shows the name of the report server that is processing the job. If you configured a scale-out deployment, this value shows which server is processing the job.

Report Name
Shows the name of the report. You can identify subscriptions by their descriptions.

Report Path
Shows the path of the report in the report server folder hierarchy.

Start Time
Shows when the process started.

User Name
For processes initiated by a user, this column shows the name of the user. For system jobs, the user name is the name of the report server.
