| Does anyone know how to script out a complete job definition (job creation script) from a T-SQL query? In SQL Server Managment Studio, you can right click a job and script out a complete definition. I just want to call this same functionality from code rather than the UI. I am using SQL Server 2005. |

You probably can.All information is in the sysjobs and sysjobsteps tables.

| Thanks for the reply, Peso. I realize, given enough time, I can probably script all this up by hand. But, I am hoping someone has done this before and has an easier way. |

| I found my solution. I am using the SMO and the Script() method for the job object. Calling that from my client program gives me exactly what I am after.http://www.sqlmonster.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/sql-server/54161/Can-I-script-out-SQL-Server-jobs-programmatically#gMGdnfSngKyMaKLXnZ2dnUVZ_o2dnZ2dspeakeasynetThanks for your help Peso!! |

SMO exposes the Script() method on nearly every object type. it's definitely the way to go if you are already in code.
