Use the Maintenance Plan Wizard

Artikel
03/28/2023

Applies to: SQL Server

This article describes how to create a single or multiserver maintenance plan using the Maintenance Plan Wizard in SQL Server. The Maintenance Plan Wizard creates a maintenance plan that Microsoft SQL Server Agent can run regularly. This allows you to perform various database administration tasks, including backups, database integrity checks, or database statistics updates, at specified intervals.

Limitations and restrictions

To create a multiserver maintenance plan, you must configure a multiserver environment with one master server, and one or more target servers. You must create and maintain the multiserver maintenance plans on the master server. You can view plans on target servers.
Members of the db_ssisadmin and dc_admin roles may be able to elevate their privileges to sysadmin. This elevation of privilege can occur because these roles can modify Integration Services packages; these packages can be executed by SQL Server using the sysadmin security context of SQL Server Agent.

To guard against this elevation of privilege when running maintenance plans, data collection sets, and other Integration Services packages, configure SQL Server Agent jobs that run packages to use a proxy account with limited privileges or only add sysadmin members to the db_ssisadmin and dc_admin roles.

Prerequisites

You must enable Agent XPs Server Configuration Option.

Permissions

To create or manage maintenance plans, you must be a member of the sysadmin fixed server role. Object Explorer only displays the Maintenance Plans node for users who are members of the sysadmin fixed server role.

Use the Maintenance Plan Wizard

Start the Wizard

Expand the server where you want to create your management plan.
Expand the Management folder.
Right-click the Maintenance Plans folder and select Maintenance Plan Wizard.
On the SQL Server Maintenance Plan Wizard page, select Next.
On the Select Plan Properties page:
1. In the Name box, enter the name of the maintenance plan you're creating.
2. In the Description box, briefly describe your maintenance plan.
3. In the Run as list, specify the credential that Microsoft SQL Server Agent uses when executing the maintenance plan.
4. Select either Separate schedules for each task or Single schedule for the entire plan or no schedule to specify the recurring schedule of the maintenance plan.
  
  Note
  
  If you select Separate schedules for each task, you will need to follow the next step for each task in your maintenance plan.
5. If you selected Single schedule for the entire plan or no schedule, under Schedule, select Change.
  1. In the New Job Schedule dialog box, in the Name box, enter the job schedule's name.
  2. On the Schedule type list, select the type of schedule:
    - Start automatically when SQL Server Agent starts
    - Start whenever the CPUs become idle
    - Recurring. This is the default selection.
    - One time
  3. Select or clear the Enabled check box to enable or disable the schedule.
  4. If you select Recurring:
    1. Under Frequency, on the Occurs list, specify the frequency of occurrence:
      - If you select Daily, in the Recurs every box, enter how often the job schedule repeats in days.
      - If you select Weekly, in the Recurs every box, enter how often the job schedule repeats in weeks. Select the days of the week on which the job schedule is run.
      - If you select Monthly, select either Day or The.
        
        If you select Day, enter both the date of the month you want the job schedule to run and how often the job schedule repeats in months. For example, if you want the job schedule to run on the 15th day of the month every other month, select Day and enter "15" in the first box and "2" in the second box. The largest number allowed in the second box is "99".
        
        If you select The, select the specific day of the week within the month that you want the job schedule to run and how often the job schedule repeats in months. For example, if you want the job schedule to run on the last weekday of the month every other month, select Day, select last from the first list and weekday from the second list, and then enter "2" in the last box. You can also select first, second, third, or fourth, as well as specific weekdays (for example: Sunday or Wednesday) from the first two lists. The largest number allowed in the last box is "99".
    2. Under Daily frequency, specify how often the job schedule repeats on the day the job schedule runs:
      - If you select Occurs once at, enter the specific time of day when the job schedule should run in the Occurs once at box. Enter the hour, minute, and second of the day, as well as AM or PM.
      - If you select Occurs every, specify how often the job schedule runs during the day chosen under Frequency. For example, if you want the job schedule to repeat every 2 hours during the day that the job schedule is run, select Occurs every, enter "2" in the first box, and then select hour(s) from the list. From this list you can also select minute(s) and second(s). The largest number allowed in the first box is "100".
        
        In the Starting at box, enter the time that the job schedule should start running. In the Ending at box, enter the time that the job schedule should stop repeating. Enter the hour, minute, and second of the day, as well as AM or PM.
    3. Under Duration, in Start date, enter the date that you want the job schedule to start running. Select End date or No end date to indicate when the job schedule should stop running. If you select End date, enter the date that you want to job schedule to stop running.
  5. If you select One Time, under One-time occurrence, in the Date box, enter the date that the job schedule will be run. In the Time box, enter the time that the job schedule will be run. Enter the hour, minute, and second of the day, as well as AM or PM.
  6. Under Summary, in Description, verify that all job schedule settings are correct.
  7. Select OK.
6. Select Next.
On the Select Target Servers page, select the servers where you want to run the maintenance plan. This page is only visible on SQL Server instances that are configured as master servers.

Note

To create a multiserver maintenance plan, a multiserver environment containing one master server and one or more target servers must be configured, and the local server should be configured as a master server. In multiserver environments, this page displays the (local) master server and all corresponding target servers.
On the Select Maintenance Tasks page, select one or more maintenance tasks to add to the plan. When you have selected all of the necessary tasks, select Next.

Note

The tasks you select here will determine which pages you will need to complete after the Select Maintenance Task Order page below.
On the Select Maintenance Task Order page, select a task and select either Move Up... or Move Down... to change its order of execution. When finished, or if you're satisfied with the current order of tasks, select Next.

Note

If you selected Separate schedules for each task on the Select Plan Properties page above, you will not be able to change the order of the maintenance tasks on this page.

Define Database Check Integrity (CHECKDB)

On the Define Database Check Integrity Task page, choose the database or databases where the allocation and structural integrity of user and system tables and indexes are checked. By running the DBCC CHECKDB Transact-SQL statement, this task ensures that any integrity problems with the database are reported, thereby allowing them to be addressed later by a system administrator or database owner. For more information, see DBCC CHECKDB (Transact-SQL). When complete, select Next.

The following options are available on this page.

Databases list

Specify the databases affected by this task.
- All databases
  
  Generate a maintenance plan that runs this task against all Microsoft SQL Server databases except tempdb.
- System databases
  
  Generate a maintenance plan that runs this task against SQL Server system databases except tempdb and user-created databases.
- All user databases (excluding master, model, msdb, tempdb)
  
  Generate a maintenance plan that runs this task against all user-created databases. No maintenance tasks are run against the SQL Server system databases.
- These databases
  
  Generate a maintenance plan that runs this task against only those databases that are selected. At least one database in the list must be selected if this option is chosen.
Include indexes check box

Check the integrity of all the index pages as well as the table data pages.
Physical only

Limits the check to the integrity of the physical structure of the page, record headers, and the allocation consistency of the database. Using this option may reduce run-time for DBCC CHECKDB on large databases, and is recommended for frequent use on production systems.
Tablock

Causes DBCC CHECKDB to obtain locks instead of using an internal database snapshot. This includes a short-term exclusive (X) lock on the database. Using this option may help DBCC CHECKDB run faster on a database under heavy load, but decreases the concurrency available on the database while DBCC CHECKDB is running.

Define Database Shrink Task

On the Define Shrink Database Task page, create a task that attempts to reduce the size of the selected databases by using the DBCC SHRINKDATABASE statement, with either the NOTRUNCATE or TRUNCATEONLY option. For more information, see DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (Transact-SQL). When complete, select Next.

Warning

Data moved to shrink a file can be scattered to any available location in the file. This causes index fragmentation and can slow the performance of queries that search a range of the index. To eliminate the fragmentation, consider rebuilding the indexes on the file after shrinking.

The following options are available on this page.
- Databases list
  
  Specify the databases affected by this task.
  - All databases
    
    Generate a maintenance plan that runs this task against all Microsoft SQL Server databases except tempdb.
  - System databases
    
    Generate a maintenance plan that runs this task against SQL Server system databases except tempdb and user-created databases.
  - All user databases (excluding master, model, msdb, tempdb)
    
    Generate a maintenance plan that runs this task against all user-created databases. No maintenance tasks are run against the SQL Server system databases.
  - These databases
    
    Generate a maintenance plan that runs this task against only those databases that are selected. At least one database in the list must be selected if this option is chosen.
- Shrink database when it grows beyond box
  
  Specify the size in megabytes that causes the task to execute.
- Amount of free space to remain after shrink box
  
  Stop shrinking when free space in database files reaches this size (as a percentage).
- Retain freed space in database files
  
  The database is condensed to contiguous pages but the pages aren't deallocated, and the database files don't shrink. Use this option if you expect the database to expand again, and you don't want to reallocate space. With this option, the database files don't shrink as much as possible. This uses the NOTRUNCATE option.
- Return freed space to operating system
  
  The database is condensed to contiguous pages and the pages are released back to the operating system for use by other programs. This uses the TRUNCATEONLY option. This is the default option.

Define the Index Tasks

On the Define Reorganize Index Task page, select the server or servers where you'll be moving index pages into a more efficient search order. This task uses the ALTER INDEX ... REORGANIZE statement. For more information, see ALTER INDEX (Transact-SQL). When complete, select Next.

- Selection list
  
  Specify the tables or indexes affected by this task. Not available when Tables and Views is selected in the Object box.
- Free space options area
  
  Presents options for applying fill factor to indexes and tables.
- Default free space per page
  
  Reorganizes the pages with the default amount of free space. This drops the indexes on the tables in the database, and recreates them with the fill factor that was specified when the indexes were created. This is the default option.
- Change free space per page to box
  
  Drop the indexes on the tables in the database and re-create them with a new, automatically calculated fill factor, thereby reserving the specified amount of free space on the index pages. The higher the percentage, the more free space is reserved on the index pages, and the larger the index grows. Valid values are from 0 through 100. Uses the FILLFACTOR option.
- Advanced options area
  
  Presents additional options for sorting indexes and reindexing.
- Sort results in tempdb check box
  
  Uses the SORT_IN_TEMPDB option, which determines where the intermediate sort results, generated during index creation, are temporarily stored. If a sort operation isn't required, or if the sort can be performed in memory, the SORT_IN_TEMPDB option is ignored.
- Pad Index check box
  
  Uses the PAD_INDEX option.
- Keep index online while reindexing check box
  
  Uses the ONLINE option, which allows users to access the underlying table or clustered index data and any associated nonclustered indexes during index operations. Selecting this option activates additional options for rebuilding indexes that don't allow for online rebuilds: Do not rebuild indexes and Rebuild indexes offline.
  
  Selecting this option also activates Low Priority Used, which uses the WAIT_AT_LOW_PRIORITY option. Online index rebuild operations wait for low priority locks for MAX_DURATION minutes, allowing other operations to proceed while the online index build operation is waiting.
  
  Note
  
  Online index operations are not available in every edition of SQL Server. For more information, see Editions and supported features of SQL Server 2022.

Create a sub-directory for each database check box

Create a subdirectory under the specified disk directory that contains the database backup for each database being backed up as part of the maintenance plan.

Important

The sub-directory will inherit permissions from the parent directory. Restrict permissions to avoid unauthorized access.
Folder box

Specify the folder to contain the automatically created database files. This option is disabled if you selected URL as the backup destination.
SQL Credential

Select a SQL Credential used to authenticate to Azure Storage. If you don't have an existing SQL Credential you can use, select the Create button to create a new SQL Credential.

Important

The dialog that opens when you select Create requires a management certificate or the publishing profile for the subscription. If you do not have access to the management certificate or publishing profile, you can create a SQL Credential by specifying the storage account name and access key information using Transact-SQL or SQL Server Management Studio. See the sample code in the Create a Credential topic to create a credential using Transact-SQL. Alternatively, using SQL Server Management Studio, from the database engine instance, right-click Security, select New, and select Credential. Specify the storage account name for Identity and the access key in the Password field.
Azure storage container

Specify the name of the Azure storage container
URL prefix

This is automatically generated based on the storage account information stored in the SQL Credential, and Azure storage container name you specified. We recommend that you don't edit the information in this field unless you're using a domain that uses a format other than <storage account>.blob.core.windows.net.

- AES 128
- AES 192
- AES 256
- Triple DES
The encryption option is disabled if you selected to append to existing backup set.

It is recommended practice to back up your certificate or keys and store them in a different location than the backup you encrypted.

Only keys residing in the Extensible Key Management (EKM) are supported.
Block size check box, list

Specifies the physical block size, in bytes. This option typically affects performance when writing to tape devices, RAID arrays, or SAN.
Max transfer size check box, list

Specifies the largest unit of transfer in bytes to be used between SQL Server and the backup media.

Set backup compression list

In SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x) Enterprise (or later versions), select one the following backup compression values:

Value	Description
Use the default server setting	Select to use the server-level default. This default is set by the backup compression default server-configuration option. For information about how to view the current setting of this option, see View or Configure the backup compression default Server Configuration Option.
Compress backup	Select to compress the backup, regardless of the server-level default. Important: By default, compression significantly increases CPU usage, and the additional CPU consumed by the compression process might adversely affect concurrent operations. Therefore, you might want to create low-priority compressed backups in a session whose CPU usage is limited by the Resource Governor. For more information, see Use Resource Governor to Limit CPU Usage by Backup Compression (Transact-SQL).
Do not compress backup	Select to create an uncompressed backup, regardless of the server-level default.
