BCP To Text Failing [shared Memory] Invalid Instance

Jun 9, 2006

When I run this code...

DECLARE @bcpCommand varchar(2000)
SET @bcpCommand = 'bcp sp_text out test.txt -c -U -P'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @bcpCommand

I get this...

SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 14
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]Invalid connection.
SQLState = 01000, NativeError = 14
Warning = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen (Invalid Instance()).
NULL


What on earth does it mean?!

Thx,

SQL 2000 Not Listening On Shared Memory. Why Not?

Apr 18, 2007

One of my production SQL Server 2000 systems is listening on TCP and Named Pipes, but not on Shared Memory.



This server has a lot of scheduled jobs that are internal to this box. I assume these jobs would benefit from using shared memory instead of TCP/IP, but I can't figure out why it doesn't use shared memory already and how to correct that.



Thanks in advance for all assistance.

Sql2005 Shared Memory Provider Error

Ive just started getting this on a stable application thats used a datareader on millions of records.

Not sure where to got from here and I can't find anyone else whos getting the failure during the processing.

I could disable shared memory protocol but that seems extreme. I'm on Sql Enterprise 9.00.2047. Maybe the process is hammering the server very hard? Personally I've rarely ever seen SQL be the cause of an error, only user config, bad disks or power issues.

I'm running the app again with SQL Profiler capturing "standard" events.

Just need it to blow up again.

I can run the app on another machine of course and I wouldn't get Shared Memory Provider being used. Maybe I ought to do that as well. At least if the error is not really in the Shared Memory I'd have another avenue to explore.

SQL Express, Shared Memory, Domain Computer

Jul 16, 2007

I am new here and new to SQL Express. I've searched for my issue, but can 't quite find anything close to the problem or how to solve it, if it's even solvable. I am using SQL Express on a pc to connect to the back end of a database. The front end application (an access runtime) also runs on the same pc. This pc is on a domain. I think I've tried every combination of protocols, and although connectivity via ODBC is successful, the application can't connect - gives the "server doesn't exist or access denied". When I log on to this computer with the "machine" logon (not the domain), I have SQL Express configured to use shared memory, the application runs just fine. I need to use this database for testing in a non productivity environment, but I really hate to log off the domain to run it. Ideas?

Thanks,

32-bit Client Connection Via Shared Memory To 64-bit SQL Server

Mar 18, 2008

Hi,

Our 32-bit applications connect to SQL Server 32-bit through OLEDB with Shared memory as preferred protocol. Our client applications and SQL Server generally reside on same machine.
We are evaluating possible impact when SQL Server 2008 64-bit is accessed with our 32-bit client applications running on 64bit WindowsServer 2008. Can shared memory protocol will be still used by underlying SQL server OLEDB dll considering the client application is 32-bit where as SQL Server is 64-bit ? Or it will switch to Named pipes or TCP/IP automatically ?

Thanks

Install Problem: Shared Memory Provider: No Process Is On The Other End Of The Pipe.

Jul 5, 2006

When I try to install MsSQL Server 2005 Develop Edition do I get the error:

[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider: No process is on the other end of the pipe.

I have trying to look at other posts on this forum and elsewhere, but cant find any solution that works for me - mainly cuz all solutions is after the installing.

Before trying to install MsSQL Server 2005 Dev did I install VS.Net 2005 Pro. First did the Native Client make troubles, but got it to work with reinstalling it, but now does the SQL setup stop on every try with the error above.

I have tried looking if the MSSQLServer is running when it tries to connect during install, and everything says it is running (Services, Net start, Taskman.).

I dont run any special setup on my system - it is a normal Windows XP Pro SP2 with all updates. I just need the SQL server installed so I can develop locally without access to out main SQL server.

I have been using MsSQL 2000 before and never had any problems, but the 2005 keep on bugging me.

The only solution I havent tried is to reinstall Windows itself, but I will pref. not to do so.



And to be honest, then have I no idea what a "pipe" is - I am used to develop webapplications and not so much on server maintaince/troubleshooting.



Need some more information? Then just ask.

Integration Services :: Could Not Open Global Shared Memory To Communicate With Performance DLL

I am getting the following warning for my SSIS08 package: Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL; data flow performance counters are not available.  To resolve, run this package as an administrator, or on the system's console. I did check Warning in SSIS 2008 , but didn't find any solution. The package processes data and executes fine , but why do I see this warning? When I run this package on my machine, I see no such warning, it's only when I deploy it to our DEV SSIS server, I get this warning.

Integration Services :: Shared Memory Provider - Timeout Error 258 / Communication Link Failure

Apr 1, 2014

When running the etl I'm getting the error: <SSIS Task>: Shared Memory Provider: Timeout error [258] ; followed by the message "Communication link failure".

What is special about this message that it happens on a SQL Execute task (random task) and the Timeout is after 2 minutes.

When executing the packages separatly it is working fine. The SQL Tasks that are failing are also quit heavy, but reasonable and takes between >2min and 10 - 15 min. Statements are stored procedures that puts an index on 3 mil. records or update statements,...

I had a look to all my (SSIS-etl) timeouts and they have the default value 0, the "remote query timeout" of the server is set to 10 minutes. According to me, these are the only one that exists?

There are 2instances on the server each instance has 24GB allocated, the server has 64 in total. Also when the etl runs (that results in an error) no other etl is running on the 2 instances. I'm working with the oledb sql server native client11.0 provider : SQLNCLI11.1.

User Instance=True Causes Invalid Connection String

Feb 14, 2006

Whenever I use "User Instance=True" as in the connection string below, I get an invalid connection string error. If I take it out, the connection string generates other errors.

"Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;User Instance=True;AttachDBFileName=|DataDirectory|DbName.mdf;Data Source=.\sqlexpress;"

Removing User Instance=True always eliminates the invalid connection string message.

BTW, I tried both Data Source=.\sqlexpress and Data Source=.sqlexpress.

Allocation Of Memory By Instance

Oct 2, 2007

I’m setting up a server for development that will have one instance of SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition and one of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition installed.

The server has a total of 3.5 GB of physical memory, so I was wondering about the best way to allocate the memory. Should I just let both instances have the default allocation and let them fight it out for memory as needed, or allocate a memory limit for each instance?

Problem In Executing Child Packages In SSIS (Invalid Access To Memory Location. . )

Oct 18, 2006

I have installed Office 2007 Beta 2 and SQL Server 2005 at my system.

I made 2 packages (C:Package.dtsx, C:Package1.dtsx). I am executing Package1 inside Package.dtsx using Executing Package Task.

In package1.dtsx there is some configuration that is coming at runtime(For each loop container having some file connections) , so I have put DelayValidation property of this package to True, but that did not work when I called this package from Package1.dtsx, then I found one workaround, I changed the ExecuteOutOfProcess of ExecutePacakge task to True,

Now the problem is that before installing Office 2007 the both were executing fine (it was taking some time in starting the second package because of OutOfProcess execution).

After installing Office 2007 I get the following error while executing the second package from first package.

Error: Error 0x800703E6 while loading package file "C:Package1.dtsx". Invalid access to memory location. .

This problem comes whenever the I execute the package having OutOfProcess property to true.

Is there any workaround for this, or I am wrong somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

DB Engine :: Adjust Instance Memory When Service Not Starting

Apr 23, 2015

One server, a part of a 2 node always on cluster, had problems, I had to restart.

I'm getting this error for example now:

Error: 49910, Severity: 10, State: 1. (Params:). The error is printed in terse mode because there was error during formatting. Tracing, ETW, notifications etc are skipped.
+
SQL Server was unable to run a new system task, either because there is insufficient memory or the number of configured sessions exceeds the maximum allowed in the server. Verify that the server has adequate memory. Use sp_configure with option 'user connections' to check the maximum number of user connections allowed. Use sys.dm_exec_sessions to check the current number of sessions, including user processes.

Now, on the instance I have activated maximum servere memory, my question; Is it possible to adjust this setting without starting the service?

Some parameter for example?

The server itself have enough memory.

Setup And Upgrade :: Assign Fixed Amount Of Memory For Multiple Instance In 2014?

Oct 13, 2015

We have a SQL enterprise server 2014 with two installed instance.

First instance for SharePoint 2013 DBs and second instance  Dynamics AX 2012 R3 DBs.

The server has 32 GB of RAM, currently the process usage for first instance is 26 GB and second instance is 700 MB.

Which mean that SharePoint DBs in the first instance is consuming most of the RAM.

My question is there any way to assign a fixed RAM usage for a specific instance without affecting the other instance?

for example 16 GB only first instance and 16 GB to second instance.

Correcting Invalid Dates From A Text File Before Loading SQL Table

Invalid Character Value For Cast Specification Error Upon Importing Text File

Apr 23, 2007

Hi all--Given a table called "buyers" with the following column definitions in a SQL Server 2005 database:



[BUYER] [nvarchar](40) NULL,

[DIVISION] [nvarchar](3) NULL,

[MOD_DATE] [datetime] NULL



This table is laden with Unicode data and the MOD_DATE contains no data--not even NULL values, and is giving me a headache as a result. I can export this data fine to a text file, but when I create an SSIS package to attempt import to another table defined exactly the same as above in another place, I get the following messages:

Among the customizations in this package is the flag "ValidateExternalMetadata" set to False. The data itself is surrounded by " and delimited by semicolons for each field, with the header row set as the name of each column. It looks like this:



"BUYER";"DIVISION";"MOD_DATE"
"108 Joon-Hyn Kim";"TAD";""
"109 Kang-Soo Do";"TAD";""
"FS07 John Smith";"TAD";""

...



Can anyone suggest a course of action on how to handle the error when the MOD_DATE field is completely empty?



Thanks in advance,

Jonathan

[Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] In The File Specification '...', The Col1 Option Is Invalid.

Mar 23, 2007

I'm trying to connect to a tab-delimited text file using the ODBC data access. I set it up using Administrative Tools - Data Sources (ODBC) from the start menu, and clicked the 'Guess' button under Define Format.

The schema it created looks like this:

[cims_output_data.txt]
ColNameHeader=True
Format=TabDelimited
MaxScanRows=0
CharacterSet=OEM
Col1=SIMNAME
Col2=TIMESTAMP
Col3=SIMTYPE
Col4=REGION
Col5=SECTOR
....etc.

It looks OK, but if I go back to Define in Administrative Tools and try to review it, I get a similar error message:

Ini File (or Registry) C:Program FilesCIMSschema.ini is corrupt.
Section: cims_output_data.txt, Key: Col1.

Has anyone seen this before? There is nothing on MSDN as far as I could find. I read on another forum that if you replace the label 'Col1' with 'Col' the problem is solved but it still reports that the schema is corrupt when I try to open it in Administrative Tools.

Bill.
