A few weeks back I posed a question about running Log Shipping inside a Trigger. Here is essentially a follow up to that question [ https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/9f994c51-7c98-411b-afbd-1f513ac5f62b/can-i-use-a-trigger-to-start-transaction-log-shipping?forum=sqlkjmanageability ]
There are three jobs that comprise this Log Shipping process.
1. LSBackup_Job1 (creates .bak file from database #1 on primary Server A)
2. LSCopy_Job2 (moves .bak file from primary Server A to secondary Server B)
3. LSRestore_Job3 (restores .bak file to database #2 on secondary Server B)
I would like to kick the first job off from a Trigger in a table (upon Insert) on database #1 on the Primary server. (answer provided by dave_gona)
i.e. exec msdb..sp_start_job @job_name= 'LSBackup_Job1'
When this finishes I would like to kick off Job2 an then Job3. The question is, can this be possible after the first EXEC commands inside the trigger on Server A considering that this LS process encompasses two servers?
