Missing Target Local Server in Job

All we need is an easy explanation of the problem, so here it is.

SQL Server 2016 Enterprise, CU15 + GDR.

Client recently started using OPCON in production and I noticed that when OPCON creates jobs, it doesn’t add the Local Server as the target. This prevents the job from executing.

Is there anyway to determine if a specific job doesn’t have any target server defined as is the case above?

Thanks,
Craig

How to solve :

I know you bored from this bug, So we are here to help you! Take a deep breath and look at the explanation of your problem. We have many solutions to this problem, But we recommend you to use the first method because it is tested & true method that will 100% work for you.

Method 1

Selecting all jobs that have an enabled schedule but no next run date.

SELECT
    sj.name AS job_name,
    sjs.next_run_date,
    syss.enabled AS schedule_enabled
  FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs sj
  INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobschedules sjs ON sj.job_id = sjs.job_id 
  INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysschedules syss ON sjs.schedule_id = syss.schedule_id 
  WHERE 
  1=1
 AND  sjs.next_run_date = 0
 AND syss.enabled = 1

Note: Use and implement method 1 because this method fully tested our system.
