How do I execute a stored procedure in a SQL Agent

Question

I am using SQL Server 2008 and I need to run a SQL Job from SQL Server Agent. I am new to SQL Server Job and I want to execute a stored procedure regularly from a SQL Server Job. But I did not find where to specify the executed stored procedure other than copy & paste SQL commands.

Here is my screen snapshot:

Any ideas how to assign stored procedure to execute in SQL Server Job?

Answer 1

You just need to add this line to the window there:

exec (your stored proc name) (and possibly add parameters)

What is your stored proc called, and what parameters does it expect?

Answer 2

As Marc says, you run it exactly like you would from the command line. See Creating SQL Server Agent Jobs on MSDN.
