I asked this question before but we got side tracked thinking it was email not working on sql.
I run SQL 2008 64 Bit on a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit server.
Email database does work. SQLAgent setup properly.
I created several maintenance plans.
Each Maintenance Plan has 5 to 6 tasks defined which created 5 to 6 jobs. Reason some have six is for a transaction log backup.
My tasks are 1. check Database Integrity Task 2. Shrink Database Task 3. Maintenance Cleanup Task 4. Full Backup Task 5 Transaction Log Backup Task 6. History Cleanup Task
That creates a subplan_1 subplan_2 subplan_3 subplan_4 subplan_5 subplan_6
The jobs are created DB Maint Plan Test.subplan_1 DB Maint Plan Test.subplan_2 DB Maint Plan Test.subplan_3 DB Maint Plan Test.subplan_4 DB Maint Plan Test.subplan_5 DB Maint Plan Test.subplan_6
My schedule is subplan_1 subplan_2 subplan_3 subplan_4 and subplan_6 run on Sunday only. subplan_6 runs every day except for Sunday.
When I created the Maintenance plan the Reporting and Logging was set to see below
With this setup I expect to receive an email for every job step that processes and I do.
I get a report in the body of the email showing if job was successful or not. All works great.
My Problem is that I receive multiple emails for the exact same job step. Anywhere from 3 to 5 duplicate email
I have checked the jobs properties and the mainenance plan can not find any thing wrong.
If I run the job step manually it works only one email this only happens during the scheduled runs.
I recently upgraded from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008 and this worked great on SQL 2008.
SQL 2008 is a new install on a new server.
So again I get muitple emails for the same job step.
Any ideas on why?
Thanks
