Hi,
On an SQL 2005 instance, I have an alert which triggers at a database backup. It raises an alert when the message in the SQL Server log contains the text "backed up. Database". When the alert fires, a job is started. This job performs some actions to check if the backup is backupped to the correct folder. It runs very quickly, less than a second.
Sometimes however, this alert writes a lot of messages to the SQL Server Agent log:
[386] Alert <Alert name> cannot invoke it's response job because there are too many (2000) pending alert-response job executions
<Alert name> is the name of my alert.
Restarting SQL Server Agent or resetting the count (History tab, checkbox "reset count") lets the message disappear.
Can anyone help me solve this issue so that this message does not come back?
