Create SQL Server job automatically

Question

I am writing SQL Server deployment scripts which create SQL Server job automatically on a specific SQL Server server/instance. I have found that I can extract the sql statem

Answer 1

I was coming across the same problem today and how I tackle it is so simple Do the following

1. Create a stored proc that creates the job with parameter @serverName nvarchar(128)

   Create Proc CreateAJob(@serverName nvarchar(128))
   

2. Now easy, you can get the server name using the following

   Declare @serverName nvarchar(128)
   SELECT @servername=@@SERVERNAME
   

3. Execute the stored proc to create your job

   EXEC CreateJob @serverName
   

That is it.

I am using visual studio db project and I did steps 2 and 3 int the postdeployment script
