Sana Commerce SQL Jobs

Configure Sana Commerce SQL Jobs

The SQL Server 2005 Express does not contain the SQL Server Agent service, so that job scheduling is not possible. There is a solution to realize scheduling without using free or commercial 3rd party products. This solution is only based on the Express version of the SQL Server and uses the SQL Server Service Broker. Please read this article for more information.

Step 1: Open the SQL Management Studio, connect to the SQL server instance and expand the 'SQL Server Agent'.

Step 2: Right-click on the jobs folder and select 'New job'.
