no job history

sql2k sp3a
One of my servers doesnt retain very much job history. I have no history for
several jobs that run once or more per day. Is there a limit to the amount
of records the SysJobHistory table can hold? Any other ideas?
TIA, ChrisRYes, you can define the limit. EM, right-click Agent, Properties. On one of the tabs, you can set
this.

No history information for jobs

Hi All,
When I right click on some jobs in sql server and select view job history, s
ometimes I get "There is no history information for this job". I was able to
see job history few hours/days back. I have not cleared logs nor restarted
the box. But still i am not
able to see any history information. I can however see history information o
n other jobs. Can you tell me why is sql server wiping of job history inform
ation for some jobs. What can i do to prevent it?
Regards,
PROHave you tried increasing the values in SQLAgent-->Properties-->Job
System tab? Look at the Maximum job history log size(rows) and Maximum
job history rows per job values. See if that works for you.

Thank you very much for your reply. The current setting of my sql server
is Max. job history log size(rows): 500000
max job history rows per job: 1000
Also, i dont understand why there is no job history for only some of the
jobs

It is possible that the job history of more frequently running jobs are
overwriting those of the less frequently running jobs. To address this,
increase your max job history log size and decrease your max job history
rows per job.
Hope this helps,
