Question
How do I start SQL Server Agent from ASP?
Answers
When you rely on jobs in SQL Server, it can be quite frustrating when SQL Server Agent has stopped and either it's
not set to auto-restart, or you are using an older version of SQL Server where this option didn't exist. So if you can't
connect to the database using Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer, you can write up a quick ASP script that
connects to the database and starts the service (assuming the SQL Server service is started, and that the user has
appropriate permissions to execute such a command):
<%
set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.open ""
sql = "EXEC Master.DBO.XP_ServiceControl 'QUERYSTATE','SQLServerAgent'"
set rs = conn.execute(sql)
if trim(rs(0)) <> "Running." then
response.write "Starting SQL Server Agent..."
sql = "EXEC Master.DBO.XP_ServiceControl 'START', 'SQLServerAgent'"
conn.execute(sql)
else
response.write "SQL Server Agent already started..."
end if
conn.close
set conn = nothing
%>
Keep in mind that XP_ServiceControl is undocumented and unsupported; its behavior could change with a service
pack or the next release of SQL Server.
