Dummy jobs are created by the SQLAGENT_CHECK stored procedure, which is used to determine whether the SQL Agent service is running (if the service is not running, any attempt to start a job causes a failure which we trap). This warning can occur if we try and delete the dummy job (by calling sp_delete_job) whilst it is currently running (as a result of calling sp_start_job).
We will take no further action because, in Sentra V6.3 onwards, we won't be using the SQL agent - see Issue 3873 - we always use our own ITLSQLAgent, so we wont be creating or deleting jobs using sp_start_job and sp_delete_job.
