Its happen, sometime we delete maintenance plan from SSMS, due to some reason it show succeed or error and in between that some object/steps being deleted but some not, sometimes you see maintenance plan job name in Job Activity Monitor/Jobs Listing and when you tr to delete that job, its through error like
Drop failed for Job ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXX’. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint “FK_subplan_job_id(xxx)”. The conflict occurred in database “msdb”, table “dbo.sysmaintplan_subplans”, column ‘job_id’.The statement has been terminated. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 547)
We can resolve this error as
- Find which plans needs to delete by :
SELECT * FROM sysmaintplan_plans -
Using above query, you can get plane ID of your maintenance plan which you want to delete
DELETE FROM sysmaintplan_log WHERE plan_id = ‘Plan ID of your needs to be delete Maintenance Plan’
DELETE FROM sysmaintplan_subplans WHERE plan_id = ‘Plan ID of your needs to be delete Maintenance Plan’
DELETE FROM sysmaintplan_plans WHERE id = ‘Plan ID of your needs to be delete Maintenance Plan’Just Delete entries from above mentioned these 3 tables and be Happy from such problem!
