jobs.sp_update_jobstep (Azure Elastic Jobs) (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: Azure SQL Database

Modifies a job step in an existing job in the Azure Elastic Jobs service for Azure SQL Database. Use jobs.sp_add_jobstep to add job steps to a job.

This stored procedure shares the name of sp_update_jobstep with a similar object in SQL Server for the SQL Server Agent service. For information about the SQL Server Agent version, see sp_update_jobstep.

Arguments

@job_name

The name of the job to which the step belongs. job_name is nvarchar(128).

@step_id

The identification number for the job step to be modified. Either step_id or step_name must be specified. step_id is an int.

@step_name

The name of the step to be modified. Either step_id or step_name must be specified. step_name is nvarchar(128).

@new_id

The new sequence identification number for the job step. Step identification numbers start at 1 and increment without gaps. If a step is reordered, then other steps will be automatically renumbered.

@new_name

The new name of the step. new_name is nvarchar(128).

@command_type

The type of command that is executed by this job step. command_type is nvarchar(50), with a default value of TSql, meaning that the value of the @command_type parameter is a T-SQL script.

If specified, the value must be TSql.

@command_source

The type of location where the command is stored. command_source is nvarchar(50), with a default value of Inline, meaning that the value of the @command parameter is the literal text of the command.

If specified, the value must be Inline.

@command

The valid T-SQL script that is to be executed by this job step. command is nvarchar(max), with a default of NULL.

@credential_name

The name of the database-scoped credential stored in this job control database that is used to connect to each of the target databases within the target group when this step is executed. credential_name is nvarchar(128).

When using Microsoft Entra authentication (formerly Azure Active Directory), omit the @credential_name parameter, which should only be provided when using database-scoped credentials.

@target_group_name

The name of the target group that contains the target databases that the job step will be executed on. target_group_name is nvarchar(128).

@initial_retry_interval_seconds

The delay before the first retry attempt, if the job step fails on the initial execution attempt. initial_retry_interval_seconds is int, with default value of 1.

@maximum_retry_interval_seconds

The maximum delay between retry attempts. If the delay between retries would grow larger than this value, it's capped to this value instead. maximum_retry_interval_seconds is int, with default value of 120.

@retry_interval_backoff_multiplier

The multiplier to apply to the retry delay if multiple job step execution attempts fail. For example, if the first retry had a delay of 5 second and the backoff multiplier is 2.0, then the second retry will have a delay of 10 seconds and the third retry will have a delay of 20 seconds. retry_interval_backoff_multiplier is the real data type, with default value of 2.0.

@retry_attempts

The number of times to retry execution if the initial attempt fails. For example, if the retry_attempts value is 10, then there will be 1 initial attempt and 10 retry attempts, giving a total of 11 attempts. If the final retry attempt fails, then the job execution will terminate with a lifecycle of Failed recorded in jobs.job_executions. retry_attempts is int, with default value of 10.

@step_timeout_seconds

The maximum amount of time allowed for the step to execute. If this time is exceeded, then the job execution will terminate with a lifecycle of TimedOut recorded in jobs.job_executions. step_timeout_seconds is int, with default value of 43,200 seconds (12 hours).

@output_type

If not NULL, the type of destination that the command's first result set is written to. To reset the value of output_type back to NULL, set this parameter's value to '' (empty string). output_type is nvarchar(50), with a default of NULL.

If specified, the value must be SqlDatabase.

@output_credential_name

If not NULL, the name of the database-scoped credential that is used to connect to the output destination database. Must be specified if output_type equals SqlDatabase. To reset the value of output_credential_name back to NULL, set this parameter's value to '' (empty string). output_credential_name is nvarchar(128), with a default value of NULL.

When using Microsoft Entra authentication (formerly Azure Active Directory), omit the @output_credential_name parameter, which should only be provided when using database-scoped credentials.

@output_server_name

If not NULL, the fully qualified DNS name of the server that contains the output destination database, for example, @output_server_name = 'server1.database.windows.net'. Must be specified if output_type equals SqlDatabase. To reset the value of output_server_name back to NULL, set this parameter's value to '' (empty string). output_server_name is nvarchar(256), with a default of NULL.

@output_database_name

If not NULL, the name of the database that contains the output destination table. Must be specified if output_type equals SqlDatabase. To reset the value of output_database_name back to NULL, set this parameter's value to '' (empty string). output_database_name is nvarchar(128), with a default of NULL.

@output_schema_name

If not NULL, the name of the SQL schema that contains the output destination table. If output_type equals SqlDatabase, the default value is dbo. To reset the value of output_schema_name back to NULL, set this parameter's value to '' (empty string). output_schema_name is nvarchar(128).

@output_table_name

If not NULL, the name of the table that the command's first result set will be written to. If the table doesn't already exist, it will be created based on the schema of the returning result-set. Must be specified if output_type equals SqlDatabase. To reset the value of output_server_name back to NULL, set this parameter's value to '' (empty string). output_table_name is nvarchar(128), with a default value of NULL.

If specifying an output_table_name, the Job Agent UMI or database-scoped credential should be granted needed permissions to CREATE TABLE and INSERT data into the table.

@job_version OUTPUT

Output parameter that will be assigned the new job version number. job_version is int.

@max_parallelism OUTPUT

The maximum level of parallelism per elastic pool. If set, then the job step will be restricted to only run on a maximum of that many databases per elastic pool. This applies to each elastic pool that is either directly included in the target group or to elastic pools inside a server that is included in the target group. To reset the value of max_parallelism back to NULL, set this parameter's value to -1. max_parallelism is int.

Return code values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).

Remarks

Any in-progress executions of the job will not be affected. When jobs.sp_update_jobstep succeeds, the job's version number is incremented. The next time the job is executed, the new version will be used.

Permissions

By default, members of the sysadmin fixed server role can execute this stored procedure. Only members of sysadmin can use this stored procedure to edit the attributes of jobs that are owned by other users

Examples

Update command of an elastic job step

This sample updates the T-SQL command of an existing elastic job step. The T-SQL script adds a job step to create a table if it doesn't exist.

--Connect to the job database specified when creating the elastic job agent

-- Add job step to create a table if it does not exist
EXEC jobs.sp_update_jobstep @job_name = 'CreateTableTest',
@command = N'IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.tables WHERE object_id = object_id(''Test''))
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test]([TestId] [int] NOT NULL);',
@target_group_name = 'PoolGroup';
