SQL Server Agent

SQL Server Agent
When you install Microsoft Dynamics GP on the server, an automated database
maintenance job is created. SQL Server Agent is used to run automated jobs.
Be sure that the SQL Server Agent service is set up to start automatically with the operating system if you are using Microsoft SQL Server. In SQL Server Service Manager, select SQL Server Agent from the list of services and mark the Auto-start service when OS starts option.
Jobs are customizable, and you can select how frequently they should be completed.
You may want certain jobs to run every half hour, while others should run once at night. For more information on scheduling jobs, refer to Microsoft SQL Server Books Online.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express doesn’t include SQL Server Agent. Refer to
Support Hot Topic on CustomerSource https://mbs.microsoft.com/ customersource for more information about scheduling a backup.
