Part Description
object Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
JobHistoryFilter Optional. A JobHistoryFilter object restricting result set membership.

A QueryResults object containing one result set defined by these columns.

Column Data type Description
instance_id integer System-generated identifier for execution attempt.
job_id uniqueidentifier System-generated job identifier.
job_name nvarchar(129) Job name.
step_id integer User-specified step identifier. The result set lists each job step and its outcome.
step_name nvarchar(129) Job step name.
sql_message_id integer When applicable, the Microsoft® SQL Server™ message number of the message raised by the step.
sql_severity integer When applicable, the severity of a SQL Server message raised by the step.
message nvarchar(1025) When applicable, text of a SQL Server message raised by the step.
run_status integer Execution outcome interpreted by using SQLDMO_JOBOUTCOME_
TYPE.
run_date integer Date on which execution occurred formatted as described in Remarks.
run_time integer Time at which execution occurred formatted as described in Remarks.
run_duration integer Execution duration expressed as a number of seconds.
operator_emailed nvarchar(129) When applicable, operator receiving e-mail notification of job completion.
operator_netsent nvarchar(129) When applicable, operator receiving network popup message notification of job completion.
operator_paged nvarchar(129) When applicable, operator receiving page notification of job completion.
retries_attempted integer Number of times SQL Server Agent attempted execution of the step. 0 when the step executed successfully on the first attempt or no retry attempts specified for the job step.

Remarks

The result set column run_date represents the execution date as a scaled long integer. The integer is built as a sum of the year scaled by 10000, the month scaled by 100, and the day. For example, the date April 19, 1997 is represented by the long integer value 19970419.

The result set column run_time represents execution time as a scaled long integer. The integer is built as a sum of the hour scaled by 10000, the minute scaled by 100, and the seconds. The value uses a 24-hour clock. For example, the time 1:03:09 P.M. is represented by the long integer value 130309.

Membership in the result set is restricted by using the optionally specified JobHistoryFilter object. For more information, see JobHistoryFilter Object.
