Assign a Job to a Job Category

  • Стаття

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Managed Instance

Important

On Azure SQL Managed Instance, most, but not all SQL Server Agent features are currently supported. See Azure SQL Managed Instance T-SQL differences from SQL Server for details.

This topic describes how to assign Microsoft SQL Server Agent jobs to job categories in SQL Server by using SQL Server Management Studio, Transact-SQL or SQL Server Management Objects.

Job categories help you organize your jobs for easy filtering and grouping. For example, you can organize all your database backup jobs in the Database Maintenance category. You can assign jobs to built-in job categories, or you can create a user-defined job category and then assign jobs to that.
