Hi,
I have scheduled a job that runs every minute.
If the job does not succeed, then I would like my front end application to be notified.
I am not sure if this is a reasonable way but I am thinking of somehow
populating a table (Only if the scheduled job fails) in sql server and then read that table every minute from the front end application.

So, is it possible to populate a table if a job fails?
I do not see any options for this in the properties of the job.

Thanks

Yes,
But why do you want to?

You can query a system table that has this data already.

msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory

Very good.
It seams this table does not show the time the job was processed. It only shows the date.
Thanks

It does show time - look at the column run_time
