                                            | Hi All.....How are you?I am very new to SQL Server and I must say that your blog has helped me a lot in the past.I am struggling with a problem and may be you could help me a little.I have a problem whereby the JOBS Scheduled in SQLServer are failing with the error as below+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Executed as user: SmartInfoApplication. error executing method [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0)  SIReport [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0)  The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0)  Error Running Report [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 50000).  The step failed.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++The version of SQLSERVER is Microsoft SQL Server  2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86)   May  3 2005 23:18:38   Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation  Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)The job definition is in the attached file......The first step of the job is a Transact SQL which is as followsexec csp_CR_Run 2706883The definition of SP is in the attached file and also on the link http://pastebin.com/kyeYW7RZWhen i run the step SQL Code manually in Query analyzer, i get thiserror executing methodSIReportThe remote server machine does not exist or is unavailableServer: Msg 50000, Level 18, State 1, Line 3Error Running ReportAt times, i even get the error permission denied but interestingly the error disappears after a while.Even this error that I indicated above is seen only intermittently and does not happen always. We are at a loss in trying to troubleshoot this as the behavior is quite random.Appreciate if you could guide me with this one. |
