Accessing SQL Server 2005 Via Scheduled Task
May 27, 2007
I have a strange problem that I think deals with security on SQL 2005.
I have a scheduled task that runs on a Windows 2000 machine. It calls
a vb script which creates a connection to SQL Server.
We migrated a database from SQL 2000 to 2005 which is on a different
box. I changed the connection in the vb script to use the new sql
server. The original connection to SQL 2000 used the 'sa' account
coded into the connection string , which we don't want to use on the
new server, so I changed the connection string in the script to use
the below login information.
Const strConnection = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data
Source=SQLServer;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security
Info=False;Initial Catalog=database;
I created a domain user and gave it dbo rights on the new database on
SQL 2005 as well as administrative rights on the local machine and the
network. The task runs fine for a while and then it will fail to
start. I have looked in the event log as well as the SQL log and have
not found anything else that ran when my task failed. Once it has
failed, if I manually run the vb script on the 2000 machine, it runs
just fine, but the schedule won't work. If I change the name of the
user that is running the scheduled task, it will begin working again.
I have run the profiler on SQL 2005 and watched the scheduled task
login as the correct user and update the database. There is no
pattern to when the scheduled task will stop running. This has been
happening for a few days now.
This script and scheduled task worked fine for over a year on the
machine when it logged into SQL 2000 and nothing else has changed,
which makes me think it is related to the SQL 2005 server. Any ideas?

Hi!
I just wonder if it is possible to run a scheduled task from a SQL Server 6.5 Client. Whenever I would try to run a scheduled task from a SQL Server Client a would get the error message that says "The SQLExecutive service is not currently running on server 'POFDS1099'. This prevents task 'ACORS2 FS90 People Pull' from being run", but when I would try to go the server itself, the service is runnning. Can anybody please tell me what could be the possible cause of this or perhaps 6.5 doesn't really support running scheduled task using SQL Server client. Thanks.
By the way, I also have SQL 2000 Client running on my local.
Thanks again,
Lhot

Ok, I thought this one would be easy.I have a stored proc: master.dbo.restore_database_fooThis is on database server B.Database server A backs up database foo on a daily basis as a scheduledtask.What I wanted to do was, at the end of the scheduled task is then call thestored proc on B and restore the database.If I go into Query Analyzer and log into database A, then execb.master.dbo.restore_database_foo works.But if I take the same command and make it part of the scheduled task itfails.Error is:OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7399)[SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7312). The step failed.To me this seems like a permissions issue, but nothing I've tried seems tohave helped.Suggestions?----Greg D.

Hi,
I have created a SSIS package and tested it in V.Stdio where it runs fine and uploads file on the remote server.
Now I have scheduled it to run as a job in SQL SERVER AGENT as JOB, but it fails when it comes to the upload task?
I am quite sure as it is something with FTP connection string or security, but can't figure it out.
I have simply added the IP/login/password in the connection manager for upload task.
Any help/ guidance would be great.
Thanks,

We are not certain if this has happened due to the SSIS FTP Task, but incidently the Excel file that is being copied from the FTP site using an SSIS FTP Task got corrupted a couple hours after the package was scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job on SQL Server 2005.
I had a SQL Server 2000 DTS package doing the same thing, but it was never an issue then. I was using the FTP Task there along with an Excel Data source in that and has been working for a couple years atleast with never any corruption related issues.
In the SSIS SQL Server 2005 package I am using an FTP Task with an Excel Connection Manager and Excel source and the Excel file got corrupted within a couple hours of the package being scheduled as a SQL Server Agent job.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Any inputs will be appreciated.
Just as an fyi, the excel file has a lot of vlookups.
Thanks,
MShah

Hi, I have to researching of how to accesss package tasks and component using the SqlServer.Dts.Runtime class and so far, I havent found any solution. For example, if you package has a scriptiong task and a data flow task(<- which contains a data source component). Is it possible to use the scripting component to access the data source component in the data flow task and manipulate its properites like sqlcommand etc.

We just installed SQL Server 2005. I have 3 jobs within SQL Server 2000 that i would like to import into the new server howeber i have no clue on how to achieve this. In fact I dont even know how to make a new job within SQL Server 2005 at all? Can someone please give me the steps on how to do this.
BTW the old job accesses launches a .EXE application every day, once a day at 5pm and the other job launches the same applicationb but at 5am. I had to have 2 seperate jobs because I couldnt figure out how to pass a different parameter for the two launches.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Any assistance you people can provide will be considered grateful. I€™m in search of a generic cookie cutter snippet of code that simulates the creation of an Oracle DBMS_JOB, but I need it for SQL Server 2005.
Beneath, highlighted in red, is how we create a DBMS_JOB in Oracle, but I need the snippet of code to accomplish the same objective on SQL Server 2005. In Oracle, we deploy our scheduled jobs using anonymous pl/sql which is written in black, as shown beneath. To facilitate conversion of our project scheduled task it would be great if someone can assist me in translating the code beneath written in black and red.
REM spool schedule-jobs_a.sql.log
REM declare
REM jobno NUMBER;
REM cursor job_cur is select job from user_jobs
REM where what like 'dbms_utility.analyze_schema%';
REM begin
REM
REM for job_rec in job_cur loop
REM dbms_job.remove(job_rec.job);
REM
REM end loop;
REM dbms_job.submit(jobno,what => 'dbms_utility.analyze_schema(''&&anal'',''compute'');', interval => 'TO_DATE(SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE+1)),1,10)) + 360/1440', next_date => SYSDATE);
REM dbms_output.put_line( 'Next job '||jobno );
REM exception
REM when others then raise;
REM end;
REM /
PS, I€™m not looking for instructions to create a Scheduled Job through Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, but rather, I need T-SQL code to create a Schedule Job to run daily at some period of time and run some snippet of code.
Thanks,
Vikram

Hello,
I'm new to SQL so this should be an easy question. All i want to do is create a recuring task. I want to copy data from one SQL server to another. I've created a package to accomplish this and when i execute it manually it works. What doesn't work is scheduling to execute a regular intervals. As a test i set it up to execute every minute every day (This however will change to once a day when i prove it works) and for some reason it never executes. Any ideas? By the way i created the package using the DTS export wizzard.

I need to use FTP task in DTS ( or any other way), but the problem is, the source file name is not constant. It changes every day with a date extension appended to the file name, like PO_2002_6_12_PM.zip. How do I create a task task to grab this file daily as a scheduled task? Any help is appreciated.
thanks.

I think I have a basic question. Can someone tell me
the command I can use to have a stored procedure run
and generate output? This is for SQL 6.5.
I would like to schedule the sp_help_revdatabase
stored procedure to run periodically and output it
to a file. I think this is possible, but I haven't
been able to come up with the syntax...
Thanks for any suggestions!

How do you specifiy a log file for scheduled tasks. I have consistency checks done at night and when it fails, I cannot find out why because no log file is created. I checked for a log file in /MSSQL/LOGS/*.log. The maintenance wizard creates a log file, but how does a regular TSQL scheduled task create a log file?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a job that runs a SQL script and creates a flat file. I use an FTP task to send the file to a specific FTP site. The job work beautifully when is is completed in the development environment.
After I build the package and deploy on the SQL server and set it up to run as a job it will not work on the SQL server. The error appears to be in the FTP connection. I get two separate errors:
'Unable to connect to FTP Server using FTP Connection Manager' and
'An Error Occured in the requested FTP operation. Detailed error description: The Password was not allowed'
I am sure something very simple is wrong.
Any thoughts.

I have SQLServer 7, and have used Enterprise Manager to schedule local packages. The package that I'm trying to do is run a SQL script on a nightly basis. The problem that I'm having is that I need to be able to install the scheduled script customer box using an installer. I have access to execute command line programs in the installer. Do anyone know if you can schedule local packages (using SQL Scripts) from the command line? Or if a 3rd party application can do this. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I've tried to use sp_add_job and sp_add_jobschedule, but haven't been able to get them to work.
Thanks

Hi,
On production server, I have two tasks in status "performing completion action" for last couple hours. Ususally these tasks take seconds to finish.
Do you know how can I kill or cancel these tasks? I tried to stop both the jobs couple times but nothing is happening.
There are no locks/blocks on current activity window.
Please give your suggestion.
Thanks.

Thanks, it worked on one server, but not the other. So I'm going to recreate that job again. Do you know where it would keep the results of the dbcc checkdb when running it in a scheduled task?

Recreate job.

Laura Cappon at 9/22/99 5:22:43 PM
I have setup a DBCC checkdb scheduled task for Sunday nights at 11:00pm. Monday morning I checked it and the job never started running, nor did it fail. I looked in the error log and found no errors around that time. I set this job up the same way on 6 different servers, 4 ran fine and the other 2 didn't run at all.
So I set it up again to run Monday night and the 2 both ran for over 24 hours (on a 2 Gig DB). I killed it by stopping SQLExecutive. Does anyone know why this would happen and how to get it to work correctly?
Thanks for your help,
Laura

I have a scheduled task that has been running for several weeks now. When I try to stop it from the scheduled task manager, all appears to go well, but the task continues to show under the running tasks tab. Is there any other way to force this task to stop?

I just bought a new HP laptop that has Vista installed. Not happy about the OS but it is what it is...
I need to use Enterprise Manager, or an equivalent, to access a remote server, running SQL 2005.
With XP, I always installed and used SQL Server 2000 Client features.
Vista does not play well with SQL 2000 so I am looking for an alternative to simply be able to access, and perform DTS functions, a remote SQL 2005 system.
Does SQL Server 2005 Express offer client alias features?
Can anyone recommend another approach or product?
Thank you,
Steve

I recently downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. Everything was installed correctly without any problems. However, when I went to my Program list, the only thing listed for Microsoft SQL Server 2005, was Configuration tool.
Where is the actual program where I can write and run queries? How do I access the server?

I'm considering shifting my database server to 64-bit MS SQL Server 2005 for improved scalability and performance. I'm concerned, however, that my classic ASP website (which sits on a separate server) may have problems communicating via ADO/OLEDB because of communication problems between 32-bit IIS on the web server and 64-bit MS SQL Server on the database server.
My current set up (which works fine) is:
Web Server: Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, SP1 - running IIS with a set of ASP websites
Database Server: Windows 2000 SP4, running MS SQL Server 2000
Connection String:
MyConnection="Provider=SQLOLEDB;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;SERVER=192.168.0.1;INITIAL CATALOG=MyDatabase;UID=MyUserID;PWD=MyPassword"
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open MyConnection
My core question is:
If I change my database server to new machine with 64-bit Windows Server 2003 running 64-bit MS SQL Server 2005, will my (32-bit) web server be able to connect from ASP as it does now?
Thanks for your help!

I searched the forum's threads on this, and while there were many results, none have helped so far.
I am running a DTS package that is an ACtiveX Script Task using VBScript. The script uses CreateObject() to create a FileSystemObject to copy an .MDB before importing the tables into SQL Server. I want to copy it because of Access' notoriety of corrupting, and this much data being pumped out of Access could force me to Compact & Repair. I would rather do that on a copy.
Function Main()
Dim FSO
Set FSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FSO.CopyFile "\<server><Share>Data.mdb", "\<server>C$DataCopyData.mdb"
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
The DTS Package runs when I execute it from Ent. Manager, of course. It fails if scheduled, or course :(
I have set the Owner of the Scheduled Task to my domain account, which is also in the Adminstrators Group on the physical server with the SQL Server installation (Windows 2003 Server). I also did the unnecessary task of adding my domain account specifically to the destination folder, which is also Shared.
My sqlagent.exe service runs as SYSTEM on the server, so the SQLAgent should have no problem copying a file from one folder on the server to another.
The Scheduled Task fails with the common error:
DTSRun: Loading...
DTSRun: Executing...
DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_1
DTSRun OnError: DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_1, Error = -2147220482 (800403FE)

I checked this MS KB Article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q298725/), but the instructions after opening DCOMcnfg.exe do not follow what is shown in the WMI window on Windows 2003 Server :rolleyes: (i.e. there is no "Default Security" tab to click.)
I am at a loss here. Thanks for your help.

I am looking to create a Stored Procedure that simply runs a Scheduled Task that they knows when the job has completed.
To call the Job I am using:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name='MY_JOB_NAME'
As a next step is there a way to check if the Scheduled Job has completed and keep checking until the job completes via a query?

I have a SSIS package with an FTP task to download a Excel file and populate a table using an excel connection mnager and a SQL Server Destination and it always fails with the following error when scheduled:
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was step 1 (FTP-DM-CRN_ALLOCATION_COMMENTS).
Executed as user: WEB-INTSQLSYSTEM. The package execution failed. The step failed.
The box on which SQL Server is installed is on a workgroup on the domain and the SQL Server is started up by the Local System user on the box.
I am thinking this has to do with windows security based on all the information that I have read on these kind of error messages. Any input on resolving this will be much appreciated.

In SQL Server 2000 we had a view that would show the user credentials and the password hash. The reason we need this is that we use SQL Server authentication on the database. To test users, we have a login with little access, and it should be able to see the view and compare the password supplied against what is in the database, and then let the code handle a graceful exit if the password is invalid. I am trying to do this with SQL Server 2005, and I am running into trouble. I am trying to do this with a function, since there I can set the EXECUTE AS clause (in theory) and leverage the privlidges of a specific user in the database. Here is an example function:
CREATE FUNCTION check_acct.fn_allusers (@test int)
RETURNS @users table (username varchar(50), passwd varbinary(256))
WITH EXECUTE AS caller
AS
BEGIN
INSERT @users
select name, password_hash from sys.sql_logins
RETURN
END
GO
GRANT SELECT ON fn_allusers TO user_acct
I cannot get to all rows in the sys.sql_logins table unless I first:
GRANT VIEW ANY DEFINITION TO CHECK_ACCT
then when I call this function from CHECK_ACCT, I am able to see the data. If I change the WITH EXECUTE AS 'CHECK_ACCT' and execute thsi function from USER_ACCT, I do not get the same results. Do functions not inherit VIEW DEFINITION proivlidges? Any suggestions on how to do this but limit access to these secure objects to this one function?

I have a C# program that access SQL Server 2005. The program have 4 threads that performs the same method and are used only to improve performance of the system
The C# accesses the SQL Server using OleDbConnection and
OleDbCommand classes. Sometimes (very rare) I get exception to method ExecuteNonQuery() with message: "Table does not exist.".
The command text for the query is a constant string in the format: "insert into my_table€¦".

Hi,
I am developing a windows application that needs to communicate with a remote SQL server 2005 database. Server allows remote connections and MSDTC service also running. Do I need to run MSDTC service on the client machine where I use desktop application ? any ideas ? It's throwing some error like
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact
that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
But my SQL Server allows remote connection, and I am able to do a select statement.
But when I insert/update anything, it's throwing this error. I guess some problem with MSDCT. Anybody have any idea ?

Hi
I have created a linked server from SQL Server 2005 (SP 1) to SQL Service 2000 (SP 4) with a sql server login that is available on both servers but with different passwords and permissions.
I am getting the following error while accessing the linked server in management studio based on the scenario given below ;
------ Error Message Starts
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(SQL Server 2000 instance name)" returned message "Communication link failure".
Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 0
Login failed for user 'abc'.
------ Error Message Ends
Consider login name is abc.
Now this login abc has sysadmin rights on sql server 2005.
The same login abc has only db_datareader rights on sql server 2000 on just one database and is not associated with any fixed server role.
I have configured the linked server using the following options;
1. I have tried impersonating login from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 .
2. I have also tried specifying remote login / password option.
Anyone having any idea, would be of great help.
Regards,
Salman Shehbaz.
