Posts Tagged ‘Maintenance plan delete error 547’

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

  1. Find which plans needs to delete by :
    SELECT * FROM sysmaintplan_plans
  2. 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!
