How to Identify whether SQL job is successfully executed or not in C#

Question

I have an C# method to execute a SQL job. It executes the SQL job successfully. And the code works perfect.

And I\'m using standard SQL stored procedure msdb.d

Answer 1

You need to run stored proceedure msdb.dbo.sp_help_job

     private int CheckAgentJob(string connectionString, string jobName) {
        SqlConnection dbConnection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
        SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand();
        command.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;
        command.CommandText = "msdb.dbo.sp_help_job";
        command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@job_name", jobName);
        command.Connection = dbConnection;
        using (dbConnection)
        {
            dbConnection.Open();      
            using (command){
                SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
                reader.Read();
                int status = reader.GetInt32(21); // Row 19 = Date Row 20 = Time 21 = Last_run_outcome
                reader.Close();
                return status;
            }
        }
     }

enum JobState { Failed = 0, Succeeded = 1, Retry = 2, Cancelled = 3, Unknown = 5};

Keep polling on Unknown, until you get an answer. Lets hope it is succeeded :-)
