[!INCLUDE SQL Server SQL MI]
Important
On Azure SQL Managed Instance, most, but not all SQL Server Agent features are currently supported. See Azure SQL Managed Instance T-SQL differences from SQL Server for details.
You can use [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent jobs to automate routine administrative tasks and run them on a recurring basis, making administration more efficient.
A job is a specified series of operations performed sequentially by [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent. A job can perform a wide range of activities, including running [!INCLUDEtsql] scripts, command-line applications, Microsoft ActiveX scripts, Integration Services packages, Analysis Services commands and queries, or Replication tasks. Jobs can run repetitive tasks or those that can be scheduled, and they can automatically notify users of job status by generating alerts, thereby greatly simplifying [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] administration.
You can run a job manually, or you can configure it to run according to a schedule or in response to alerts.
