how to create Scheduling Jobs in SQL Server 2005

Step 1

Make sure that the SQL Server Agent is up and running. You can see it in the taskbar icon.
If SQL Server Agent is not running, start it from the SQL Server Configuration Manger

You can also start the SQL Server Agent from the command prompt using the command netstart

net start "SQL Server Agent (<instance name>)"
e.g net start "SQL Server Agent (SQLSERVER01)"

Step 2

Connect to the database engine of SQL server using SQL Server Management Studio.

Step 3

Expand the SQL Server Agent. You will see a Jobs folder over there. Right click on jobs and choose Add New.

Step 4

A New Job popup will appear. Specify the name of the job.
