The Services tab allows you to view the status and manage your SQL Server services such as:
- DTC (Distributed Transaction Coordinator service)
- SQL Server
- SQL Server Agent
- SQL Server Browser
The Start and Stop service actions are not supported for virtual SQL Server instances or instances located on a Windows cluster node. To start or stop a service on a virtual SQL Server 2008 instance, use the Microsoft Failover Cluster Management tool. For SQL Server 2005 or earlier, use the Microsoft Cluster Administrator tool to manage services.
Summary
The Services Summary screen includes the status of your Services.
The Service Availability chart displays the DTC, SQL Server, SQL Server Browser, and SQL Server Agent status.
An Unavailable status in the chart is caused by a pending status change such as starting, stopping, pausing, and continuing.
SQL Agent Jobs
The SQL Agent Jobs view allows you to view all your SQL Agent Jobs for the selected Amazon RDS instance. You can view the Job History of SQL Agent Jobs in the Job History list and Job Steps by clicking the + button next to the Job Name.
