View a Job

[!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.

This topic describes how to view [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent jobs in [!INCLUDEssnoversion] by using SQL Server Management Studio or [!INCLUDEtsql].

Before You Begin

Security

You can only view jobs that you own, unless you are a member of the sysadmin fixed server role. Members of this role can view all jobs. For detailed information, see Implement SQL Server Agent Security.

Using SQL Server Management Studio

To view a job

1. In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the [!INCLUDEssDEnoversion], and then expand that instance.

2. Expand SQL Server Agent, and then expand Jobs.

3. Right-click a job, and then click Properties.

Using Transact-SQL

To view a job

1. In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of [!INCLUDEssDE].

2. On the Standard bar, click New Query.

3. Copy and paste the following example into the query window and click Execute.

   -- lists all aspects of the information for the job NightlyBackups.  
   USE msdb ;  
   GO  
   
   EXEC dbo.sp_help_job  
       @job_name = N'NightlyBackups',  
       @job_aspect = N'ALL' ;  
   GO  
   

Using SQL Server Management Objects

To view a job

Use the Job class by using a programming language that you choose, such as Visual Basic, Visual C#, or PowerShell. For more information, see SQL Server Management Objects (SMO).
