Question

I'm looking for best practice in dealing with scheduled SQL Server Agent jobs in SQL Server 2012 availability groups. Maybe I missed something, however at the current state I feel that SQL Server Agent is not really integrated with this great SQL2012 feature.

How can I make a scheduled SQL agent job aware of a node switch? For example I have a job running on the primary node which loads data each hour. Now if the primary goes down, how can I activate the job on the secondary which now becomes primary?

If I schedule the job always on the secondary it fails because then the secondary is read-only.

No correct solution
