I'm seeing duplicate entries by Step ID in the SSMS Job History Log File Viewer. This is only happening in one of my jobs. In the duplicates, one is marked as complete, and the other as still running.
The duplicate running step has a message with a bunch of version trademark information, nothing helpful.
Any ideas on why I'm getting the duplicated steps in this job, and how to get rid of them?
Check if "Include step output in history" is checked.
Goto your job -> properties -> steps (select one) -> edit -> advanced -> uncheck "include step output in history" if it's there.
