You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 instance that has several SQL Server Agent jobs configured.
When SQL Server Agent jobs fail, the error messages returned by the job steps are truncated.
The following error message is an example of the truncated error message:
"Executed as user CONTOSO\ServiceAccount....0.4035.00 for 64-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2011. All rights reserveD. Started 63513 PM Error 2012-06-23 183536.87 Code 0XC001000E Source UserImport Description Code 0x00000000
Source Log Import Activity Descript... The package execution fA. .. The step failed. "
You need to ensure that all the details of the job step failures are retained for SQL Server Agent jobs.
What should you do?
    Correct Answer: D

    To ensure that all details of job step failures are retained for SQL Server Agent jobs, configuring output files is the best option. This approach allows each step in the SQL Server Agent jobs to write its output to a specified file, thereby capturing full error messages without truncation. It provides a straightforward way to keep comprehensive logs for review whenever there is a job failure.
