how to write script to see running jobs in SQL Server with Job Start Time?
SELECT sj.name,
sja.run_requested_date,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(12),
sja.stop_execution_date-sja.start_execution_date, 114) Duration
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity sja
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs sj
ON sja.job_id = sj.job_id
WHERE sja.run_requested_date IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY sja.run_requested_date desc;
I posted a query a while back for getting a list of currently running jobs here.
SELECT
ja.job_id,
j.name AS job_name,
ja.start_execution_date,
ISNULL(last_executed_step_id,0)+1
AS current_executed_step_id,
Js.step_name
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity ja
LEFT JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory jh
ON ja.job_history_id = jh.instance_id
JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs j
ON ja.job_id = j.job_id
JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps js
ON ja.job_id = js.job_id
AND ISNULL(ja.last_executed_step_id,0)+1 = js.step_id
WHERE ja.session_id = (SELECT TOP 1 session_id
FROM msdb.dbo.syssessions
ORDER BY agent_start_date DESC)
AND start_execution_date is not null
AND stop_execution_date is null;
This has job name, job id, start time and what step it's running on. If you follow the link above you can get some more detail on how I came up with it and what else is available.
I ran into issues on one of my servers querying MSDB tables (aka code listed above) as one of my jobs would come up running, but it was not. There is a system stored procedure that returns the execution status, but one cannot do a insert exec statement without an error. Inside that is another system stored procedure that can be used with an insert exec statement.
INSERT INTO #Job
EXEC master.dbo.xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs 1,dbo
And the table to load it into:
CREATE TABLE #Job
(job_id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL,
last_run_date INT NOT NULL,
last_run_time INT NOT NULL,
next_run_date INT NOT NULL,
next_run_time INT NOT NULL,
next_run_schedule_id INT NOT NULL,
requested_to_run INT NOT NULL, -- BOOL
request_source INT NOT NULL,
request_source_id sysname COLLATE database_default NULL,
running INT NOT NULL, -- BOOL
current_step INT NOT NULL,
current_retry_attempt INT NOT NULL,
job_state INT NOT NULL)
This will give you the job name and run date and time, you can remove the date if you just want to see the name and time it runs.
SELECT
j.name AS 'JobName',
run_date,
run_time,
msdb.dbo.agent_datetime(run_date, run_time) AS 'RunDateTime'
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs j
JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory h ON j.job_id = h.job_id
WHERE j.enabled = 1 --Only Enabled Jobs
ORDER BY JobName, RunDateTime desc
This script will show the jobs currently running, as well as the step currently being executed:

The following script returns:
SELECT sj.name

INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs AS sj ON sja.job_id = sj.job_id
WHERE sja.start_execution_date IS NOT NULL

It's a little around the houses possibly but does the trick

I wanted the current step number and name. I had restarted the job in step 42; it was showing me step 1.
-- Show Currently running jobs and the current STEP NAME
