Viewing Job History in SQL Server

Hello everyone,

In this article, I will try to give information about viewing Job history in SQL Server.

In SQL Server, in some cases, you may want to learn the working status of Jobs, that is, their history.

You can easily do this using the code below.

SELECT [job].[job_id] AS [JobID],
       [job].[name] AS [JobName],
       CASE
           WHEN [jh].[run_date] IS NULL
                OR [jh].[run_time] IS NULL THEN
               NULL
           ELSE
               CAST(CAST([jh].[run_date] AS CHAR(8)) + ' '
                    + STUFF(STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([jh].[run_time] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6), 3, 0, ':'), 6, 0, ':') AS DATETIME)
       END AS [LastRunDateTime],
       CASE [jh].[run_status]
           WHEN 0 THEN
               'Failed'
           WHEN 1 THEN
               'Succeeded'
           WHEN 2 THEN
               'Retry'
           WHEN 3 THEN
               'Canceled'
           WHEN 4 THEN
               'Running' -- In Progress
       END AS [LastRunStatus],
       STUFF(STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([jh].[run_duration] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6), 3, 0, ':'), 6, 0, ':') AS [LastRunDuration (HH:MM:SS)],
       [jh].[message] AS [LastRunStatusMessage]
FROM [msdb].[dbo].[sysjobs] AS [job]
    LEFT JOIN
    (
        SELECT [job_id],
               [run_date],
               [run_time],
               [run_status],
               [run_duration],
               [message],
               ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY [job_id] ORDER BY [run_date] DESC, [run_time] DESC) AS RowNumber
        FROM [msdb].[dbo].[sysjobhistory]
        WHERE [step_id] = 0
    ) AS [jh]
        ON [job].[job_id] = [jh].[job_id]
--WHERE job.job_id = 'BD6586AB-0D27-4399-88FA-4D329C243D3C' --You can write the selected Job ID information here.
ORDER BY LastRunDateTime DESC;

Good luck to everyone in business and life.
