How to synchronize database even if schedule fails?

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have scheduled some tasks on server(basically put some exe on server & it runs at certain time to update database) which updates the table at a particular time in a day.
I want that even if for some reason on a day scheduled tasks fails then the system should be able to recover. Basically database shouldn't be in inconsistent state.
So what should I do in this case to handle the situation? Any help?

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Backup the database before running the maintenance task. If the maintenance task succeeds, do nothing. If it doesn't succeed, restore the database from the backup, and run the process again.

BTW, I'm not a DBA, but can't SqlServer do this internally?

Solution 2

No buddy, everything should be automatic for example if we will become unable to make a connection with database server then in that case system should automatically recover the system & reprocess again....something like that
