I am using the copy database wizard to copy a database from one server to another. The wizard walks me through the entire process, but when I go to finish I get an error on Execute SQL Server Agent Job.

Performing operation...

- Add log for package (Success)

- Add task for transferring database objects (Success)

- Create package (Success)

- Start SQL Server Agent Job (Success)

- Execute SQL Server Agent Job (Error)
Messages
The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details. (Copy Database Wizard)


Destination server log shows

SQL Server Scheduled Job 'CDW_GIS-SERVER_SQL2_4' (0x609912449371F94CA023CE22A3C0024C) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2010-02-23 15:25:51 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by User ADMINBLDG\jhome. The last step to run was step 1 (CDW_GIS-SERVER_SQL2_4_Step).

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.



if anyone has a good idea of what is going on I would appreciate the help. Thanks

When you view the failed job at the destination, view the step history this will give some more detail as to why the step failed as appose to the job history which tells you what step failed.

Post it back here if it doesn't make sense.

Use Backup\Restore Method instead.
