Types of job steps

When you define steps for a job, you have to determine the type of step. SQL Enterprise Job Manager handles the following types of steps:

• Executable programs and operating systems commands.
• Transact-SQL statements, including stored procedures and extended stored procedures.
• Powershell scripts.
• Replication tasks:
  • Replication Distributor
  • Replication Merge
  • Replication Queue Reader
  • Replication Snapshot
  • Replication Transaction-Log Reader.
