sheing writes "Hello,

I'd like to ask about sp_start_job arguments.
I need to execute job in another server,
so I have this query:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name = 'JOBNAME', @server_name = 'SVRNAME'
but I got this message:
Server: Msg 14262, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_verify_job_identifiers, Line 61
The specified @job_name ('JOBNAME') does not exist.

How to execute job in another server?
Thank you...

Regards,

She Ing"

Which server does the Job exist on ? The local one or the remote one ?

If you haven't configured Multi-server administration, then you'll need to specify the server name when calling sp_start_job:

EXEC Server1.msdb.dbo.sp_start_job...

You'll need a linked server for this.

@server_name is used when you have multi-server administration configured.
