I have a CmdExec job setup as an Agent job. The job runs just fine as it is producing the output I am expecting.

However, in the Job History, the job is reported as an a FAILED job. The On success/failure action settings are defaults, so it should report success for successful actions.

For some reason, it is reporting the jobs as failures. Any suggestions?

SQL Server 2005

I ran the same job in a command window. It runs successfully and produces the right results. There are no errors.

That's the thing - there is no reason for failure. It simply says: Executed as user: XXX/YYY. The step failed.

I think I've found the reason. The executable in the cmd file is returning a non-zero ERRORLEVEL code even when the job is a success.

Case closed. :)
