This is a report that would allow you to see the execution of database Jobs across your environment throughout the week. Job Schedule Matrix - matrix-based report, more reliable, can be exported to Excel, but struggles with performance when there is too much data Job Schedule Chart - chart-based report, simple yet effective, might have issues with some browsers (would not load), but otherwise works faster than matrix
load script relies on the dbatools Powershell module - http://dbatools.io or http://github.com/sqlcollaborative/dbatools
- SQL Server 2008R2+
- Database Services
- Reporting Services
- (optional; for data collection) Powershell 3.0 + dbatools module
-
Run sql scripts from .\db_objects in the database of your choice:
- schedulematrix_tables.sql
- schedulematrix_loadStageData.sql
- schedulematrix_rptJobScheduleChart.sql
- schedulematrix_rptJobScheduleMatrix.sql
This would create necessary objects in the schedulematrix schema.
-
Upload reports from .\reports to your Reporting Services server and configure data sources in those reports to point to the database from step 1.
-
Set up a job to collect job history data from your environment:
-
1: Run SQL code to truncate stage table
TRUNCATE TABLE [<your DB name here>].schedulematrix.JobScheduleStage
-
2: Run Powershell script to collect data from your environment (or any other method of your choice). This example uses .\examples\schedulematrix_load.ps1 to collect data and requires dbatools module to be installed (see links above):
Powershell.exe <..>\examples\schedulematrix_load.ps1 -TargetServer sql1 -TargetDatabase MyDB -SourceServer sql2,sql3\instance1 -NonInteractive
-
3: Run stored procedure to re-populate report tables
EXEC [<your DB name here>].schedulematrix.loadStageData
-
-
(optional) Download and install dbatools module if you want to utilize schedulematrix_load.ps1:
- Run Powershell 5.0 as administrator
- Run
Install-Module dbatools

- SQL 2016 would not handle borders correctly, enforcing borders on each cell of the report.
