I feel stupid and I probably am. I try to configure a schedule using MS Wizard.
I open SQL Server backup wizard, add New Destination as a file, e.g. d:msql7ackup
orthwind_bk,
schedule work to start daily at current time + 2 minutes, click all OK's and exit.
2 min pass, nothing happens.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Boris

Hi,I want to schedule a backup of three databases on a daily basis.I've written the code to run the 3 backups in TSQL and was wondering howbest to automate this procedure?Should I put the code in an sproc and then schedule running that commandin the DTS or should I just add the TSQL into a DTS command?? Or isthere a better way of doing this???I then prefer to use DTSRUNUI to generate the syntax and then schedulethis from the windows scheduler as opposed to the SQL SCheduler in EM(is this the best way???)Help would be appreciatedM3ckon*** Sent via Devdex http://www.devdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have only started using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition recently.I also installed Management Studio Express version to manage the database. While testing the database I had came across some question and they are:
Can I upgrade from SQL Server 2005 Express to Workgroup/Standard/Enterprise without loosing the database and its contents.
While I backed up the database, I was permitted to backup only on to my local drive even though I have administrative rights on the system. It would be easy if I could backup to a network drive directly.My question is:Is it possible to backup directly to a network drive rather than backing the database to a local drive and then "copy and paste" it to a network drive.
Windows Scheduler: I have scheduled a daily backup of the database by midnight. I have also written the script to run the backup. But every time the scheduler starts the backup, it asks for the database password. This halts the backup until I come back in the morning and manually enter the password. My question is: is it possible to run an automatic database backup using Windows Scheduler?
I understand that there are 2 types of backups: full and differential backups. My question is: Is it possible to dynamically allocate different names automatically to consecutive backups so that the previous backups are not over written
Thanks for your patience and time.

Is it possible, using the Database Maintenance Plan in Enterprise Manager, to save the backups to another server? It appears that it isn't.
I guess that I was curious as to why you can create a Backup Device and use that functionality when you run the Backup Database option when right clicking a database, but cannot use it within the context of the Maintenance Plan function.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Steve
I created a Backup plan using the SSMS Maintenance Wizard. It created an SSIS package for me but the package didn't delete files older than, say, 3 days. So I exported that package from MSDB, added a Script task to it (to do what I needed), and imported it back into MSDB. I can open the new package under SSMS and everything looked good ... until I double-clicked the Script task. That task is simply not supported under the SSMS Maintenance Wizard. Goin in and out of that task under SSMS gave me the following errors:
"Microsoft Visual Studio Macros: The operation could not be compelted. Call was rejected by callee.".
Or the ever popular "cannot show the editor for this task'.
I was asked to "Wait for Completion" or "Switch tasks or "Cancel".
It seems the only way to delete these files is to set up a seperate SSIS job that calls my Script task sometime after the nightly backup has completed. But now the completion of the Backup job and the file deletion processes are decoupled, which is not very good. Can you offer any ideas how to handle the gracefully? (The real problem is that the SSMS Maintenance wizard does not recognize the full set of SSIS tasks. It would be nice if double-clicking on the Maintenance plan pane opened up the SSIS editor but that's for a later day.)
TIA,

Hi All,
I have become frustrated and I am not finding the answers I expect.
Here's the gist, we support both Oracle and SQL for our product and we would like to migrate our Clients who are willing/requesting to go from Oracle to SQL. Seems easy enough.
So, I create a Database in SQL 2005, right click and select "Import Data", Source is Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle and I setup my connection. so far so good.
I create my Destination for SQL Native Client to the Database that I plan on importing into. Still good
Next, I select "Copy data from one or more tables or views". I move on to the next screen and select all of the Objects from a Schema. These are Tables that only relate to our application or in other words, nothing Oracle System wise.
When I get to the end it progresses to about 20% and then throws this error about 300 or so times:
Could not connect source component.
Warning 0x80202066: Source - AM_ALERTS [1]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
So, I'm thinking "Alright, we can search on this error and I'm sure there's an easy fix." I do some checking and indeed find out that there is a property setting called "AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage" in the OLEDB Data Source Properties. Great! I go back and look at the connection in the Import and .... there's nothing with that property!
Back to the drawing board. I Create a new SSIS package and figure out quickly that the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage is in there. I can transfter information from the Oracle Source Table to the SQL Server 2005 Destination Table, but it appears to be a one to one thing. Programming this, if I get it to work at all, will take me about 150 hours or so.
This make perfect sense if all you are doing is copying a few columns or maybe one or two objects, but I am talking about 600 + objects with upwards of 2 million rows of data in each!!
This generates 2 questions:
1. If the Import Data Wizard cannot handle this operation on the fly, then why can't the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage property be shown as part of the connection
2. How do I create and SSIS Package that will copy all of the data from Oracle to SQL Server? The source tables have been created and have the same Schema and Object Names as the Source. I don't want to create a Data Flow Task 600 times.
Help!!!
Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks

I have set a job to run hourly between 8 am and 8 pm. I mark the schedule as enabled and mark the job as enabled. It will run for that day and then the enable check on the schedule clears out. I have several other jobs that run without this problem. Has anyone heard of this before and can this be effectively monitored?
thanks, mary
Hi,
Can anybody give me the steps to schedule Database backup and restores in 7.0?
I can do the backup and restores of the database without scheduling. I dont know how to do with scheduling.
Thanks in advnace.
I've created a task which monitors the server, I want it to run every 30 sec.
But the scheduler in job allows to run at the most only 1 min. Is it the way to make it 30 sec?
Thanks.

Does anyone know how to schedule a DTS job to collect data from another database?
cheers!
Can I use SQL Server Agent schedule to start my.exe?
I am not sure in command that I have to place in "Edit Job Steps" DialogBox.
It's not working just with path.
Hello all,
I am trying to schedule DTS package. Seems like I have two options
1. Save DTS package as a File and Run it using dtsrun function
2. Save DTS package on server and use scheduling wizard
If I use method #1 it works fine but you have ti create job, schedule it
and yada, yada, yada.....
Method #2 seems mach more simple but then I use it it does nothind.
Am I missing something?
Thank you an advance.

I'm having a little trouble getting a DTS package to run as a scheduled event. I have created the same one(an export to Access db on the same computer) as a local package and a repository package. Both will run normally when I start them manually from the DTS screen, but they will not run from the scheduler. It seems like this might be some kind of permissions problem, but it could easily be something else, since I've never used DTS before.
Thanks
I created a DTS to transfer two tables from one server to another and set up a schedule to run once everyday. I could not get it to run. I got this warning message from evetlog:

But when I execute it manually, it run successfully.

Hi,
I have two jobs scheduled on the Agent. Each job has ten steps. The next step is executed only if the previous suceeds.
I want Job 2 to execute only if Job 1 suceeds. How do I schedule that?
I was thinking that I can have the ten steps of Job 2 as steps (11 to 20) of Job 1 with each step executing after the previous one succeeds. If I do that then I can get rid of Job 2.
Let me know what approach you would advise.
Thanks
I am trying to schedule a simple job to run a stored procedure in my database. The stored procedure runs perfectly when I do so manually, however when I ask a job to run it, it gives me the following error:
Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is not trusted [SQLSTATE 42000](Error 15274).
The stored procedure does create a linked server (to an ORACLE database) and executes some commands across it. I've tried doing the link server creation as a separate step in the job and it executes that just fine so it has no issues creating the server, it just dies when it tries to use it. The job owner is the same user I've been using the execute the procedure manually. I also run the procedure step as that same user. But I still have this problem. Someone please help me!!
Hi,
Is it possible to input values to a sql job so that the sam ejob runs for different parameters i.ee the same job runs for X on all 7 days o a week and for Y only on all weekdays...
My boss wants to schedule a job that will run on the Wednesday night before the first Thursday of every month, recur on the first Thursday, and again on the Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday following the first Thursday of the month.
I've already got the first Thursday scheduled. Is there a way to schedule the other days. I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to do it, if it is possible. And I've looked at the sp_add_jobschedule to noavail.
Any help would be much appreciated. Even if it is telling me it can't be done.
Thanks
Hi!
I'm trying to create a subsciption for my report. In first creation I can do scheduling just fine, but when I try to edit my schedule, it's totally different. It shows value 1.1.0001 and when I try to change it, it's gives me first message:
value of '1.1.0001 0:00:00' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'MinDate' and 'MaxDate'. Parameter name: Value (System.Windows.Forms)
and after that when pushing OK it gives me message: "The required field StartDateTime is missing from the input structure. (rsMissingElement)".
Do you think it's a bug or is there something which I'm doing wrong?

I know enough about Databases to get myself in trouple. So maybe someone can point me in the right direction, or help me out. I work for the American Red Cross in Provo UT. We want to be able to put class registration on line so that someone can visit our website chose the class they want to take, register and pay for it all on-line. Our website http://www.redcrossut.org is hosted with godaddy and I am able to post a SQL Database. I know that our website as it stands is very poor. The people who have maintained it in the past have no idea what they were doing, my job is not the website, I am over Health & Safety Training, but have done some work with websites for fun in the past. I know a little about Visual Studio and plan to rebuild the site using C#. I can build a basic Database and interface to it with Visual Studio, Godaddy can help me with the payment part, but I have no idea how to set up SQL to allow scheduling. Any help would be appreciated. Even if it’s just a link to a tutorial.

Hey Guys!
I have a SQL Update Query that I want to run automatically everyday and
I have read through the posts and I do not understand very clearly how
to go about creating one.
The SQL query I want to run is this:
UPDATE Rental
SET TotalFee = ExtraFee + TotalFee
WHERE DaysOverdue >= 0
Once I have made a DTS package. How do I declare it in my coding???
Thanks in advance!
We are using an MSDE database engine (1.0=sql7) as a report scheduler on a web server. I can access MSDE via SQL7 Enterprise Manager to connect and view MSDE, but cannot use the DTS and job scheduling as MSDE seems to lack needed components. Using Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q241397 as a guide, I was able to create a backup of the msdb database using stored procedures including sp_add_job, sp_add_jobserver,etc, that are already present in the msdb database.
My problem is that I need to create and schedule a job for another MSDE database called CE8. This database was created by the reporting app, and contains no stored procedures. It looks to me like only msdb has the needed job scheduling procs. Does this imply that I am supposed to schedule all jobs for all databases via msdb database, or will I need to copy all job scheduling stored procedures into the other CE8 database, then create a job? Hope this makes sense,
Randy
Does anyone else ever have a problem getting scheduled DTS packages to run? I have a package that is replicating from an Access database. If I manually execute the DTS package, it works fine. If I try to schedule the same package, it bombs. Also what password do you use for the Owner and User when you are trying to schedule a SQL Server (not repository) DTS package? I've tried my loging password and it I still get problems.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a DTS Package which collects data from DB2 and stores in a table on SQL Server v 7.0. The execution of the package works fine.
When I schedule the package by right-clicking and selecting SCHEDULE PACKAGE,
I fill in the dialog box. When the package runs, I receive the following error:
DTSRun: Loading... Error: -2147217390 (80041012); Provider Error: 0 (0) Error string: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]ConnectionOpen (CreateFile()). Error source: Help file: Help context: 0. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
I get this same error when I run the package as a job.
The package is in the repository. My run command looks like:
DTSRun /S 111.11.11.11 /U sa /P xxxx /N DTS_Projections /R
The package owner is sa.
Can anyone offer any advise

Hey all,
Did anyone run in to problems with the DTS scheduler function? IE. How do I check whether a DTS package was run or not? How do I check what the schedule'd properties are (ie. for what date, for what month, etc..)?
Ilya
This is kind of a hybrid issue. When I or my developers create DTS packages we can usually run them fine from our machines, but when we go to schedule them, or run them from the Server Client we get an error that the package cannot be found. I realize that this must be some time of permissions or owner issue, but I don't know where to start looking. Should all of my DTS packages be owned by the SQL Agent Account? What am I overlooking?
