Cannot Edit Maintenance Plan Created In SQL 2005, SP1
Sep 22, 2006
Hello,
I have created a simple maintenance plan in SQL Studio. When I double-click on the task boxes (ie 'Rebuild Index', 'Backup') to just make changes or to look, I get the following message:
Cannot show editor for this task
Additional information:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0010014 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap)
I also cannot save any change that I make in the schedule of the plan.
I HAVE installed Integration Services, which at least enabled me to initially SAVE the plan. I just can't edit the tasks or change the schedule.
I need to find out on runtime, a list of Maintenance plans and Jobs. i dont know how to acquire the database name on which the plan/job are operating. i also dont know from which table can i get the tasks ( backup,integrity,rebuild index etc.) that belongs to the plan.
I'm trying to create a maintenance plan to backup a database, and when I go to select the database in the dropdown, I don't have any of the user databases any more. They were there several weeks ago when I first created the 'plan'. Does anyone know how to get the user db's to show up in the dropdown?
I feel like a complete nitwit. I've been using SQL 2000 for about 5 years now and regularly set up automatic backups using the wizard for many people. I'm in no way an advanced user and have enjoyed some of the more user-friendly features of SQL 2000 such as the backup wizard.
Well now we have SQL 2005 and I can't find the "wizard". I did a lot of googling and found very little on this. The frustration is mounting - let alone the fact that I had to edit the registry just to be able to perform a manual backup in the first place... :-(
Apparently their is a "maintenance plans" folder but the only place I can find this is under "Legacy" and you can't create jobs there.
Has anybody else had this issue? Is there a bug in SQL 2005? I reinstalled the full version with all options selected and still can't find this folder. Am I just being completely "blonde"?
I have a strange trouble on SQL Server 2005 on XP/local and Win 2003/server. When I connect local database and create a backup plan named by "backup plan", I can see the name under "maintenance plan" and "Jobs" under SQL Server Agent. But if I connect to server database and do the samething, I cannot see the name under "maintenance plan". I can see the name under "Jobs" under SQL Server Agent. But cannot delete this job, and message:
Drop failed for job "Backup Plan".(Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo).
I need to create sql 2005 maintenance plan for system and user databases which includes Database integrity check and Rebuild index tasks but these two things should happen at different times. Is it possible to schedule these two tasks at different times under single database maintenance plan, if so please let me know...
I successfully created a simple Backup Maintenance Plan under SSMS. But now that the plan is created I need to change the number of days the backups are kept. When I pull up the plan udner SSIS and lok at the tasks I can't locate that option. I couldn't find it under the sql agent either. Anyone know where it is? (Or do I need to recreate the plan from scratch?)
I want to create sql 2005 maintenance plan which includes Database integrity check and Rebuild index tasks but these two things should happen at different times. Is it possible to schedule these two tasks at different times under single database maintenance plan, if so please let me know...ASAP

Hi,We have a SQL-cluster with over 6300 databases, most of them prettysmall in size and usage.For this reason all these databases are on auto-close ( Otherwise SQLwould need many many gigabytes ).We've recently upgraded to SQL 2005 because of the Management Studio,because the EM is unusable on a SQL-Server with lots of databases.But whenever you choose 'all user databases' or 'all databases' in anyof the DB Maintenance task, MSSQL begins starting up every databasewhich takes about 30 minutes. Until then, you cannot use your Studioanymore.My question : is there a possibility to avoid this behavior, it shouldnot go and check all those db's, just add my task.PS : Detaching these databases is not an option ...Thanks in advance,Sven Peeters
Hello, I use SQL Server Express 2005 SP2.(Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00) I want to make a maintenance plan, but I don't have a task called "maintenance plan" I am user sa with "sysadmin" How can I make a maintenance plan. Thanks for your help Thomas
I had created a maintenance plan and configure and scheduled my maintenace plan to run. I would like to save this package as a file into a source control. SO I use SSIS to export the package under stored packages->MSDB->Maintenace Plan. After that, I wanted to test my import process. So I deleted the packages under SSIS ->stored packages->MSDB->Maintenance plan and I use the import to add the package from my previously exported package stored in a file .dtxs extention.
So the problem is, after I imported my package. I lost the configured schedule and the job runs without doing anything. When I try to go in and make changes to the package, by adding a new schedule under SQL server -> management->maintenance plan. I receive a odd error message and it doesn't allow me to save the package.. The error message I got is...."GUID should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxx-xxx-xx...)"
So my questions are: 1. why did the re-import loses the originally configure job run schedule. 2. why doesn't the re-import package works by backing up database as it was first setup. 3. why I cannot re-edit this package and saving the package error out?
I've small issue with SQL 2005 SP2. We have migrated database from another server with backup/restore procedure. Seems that db is properly set with cmp level 7.0. We are using standard maintenance plan for all SQL 2005 servers with option "backup all user databases", to have less work. Now it seems that dbs in SQL COMPATIBILITY LEVEL 7.0 cannot be backuped with Maintenance plan. They are not listed in the list of the databases and Maintenance plan is always reporting failure :
"Database '<DBNAME>' is not valid to be included in the maintenance plan."
Is there any way to fix this? Or can I safely switch db to CMP Level 8.0 at least?
I need to programmatically create a SQL 2005 maintenance plan at hundreds of customer sites. Each plan will be a little different because of path names, database names, etc., so I can't use one canned plan without modifications. I know that SQL 2005 maintenance plans are XML packages and SQL jobs, so scripting isn't an option. I've seen mention of using the .Net API to create the plans, but I can't find any examples. SMO doesn't seem to have any objects for managing maintenance plans. Can someone point me to an example of using the API to perform this task?
I have recently upgrade from MS SQL 2000 to MS SQL 2005. The maintenance plan disappeared. Although the jobs are still around and running. What issues might arise from this? Thanks..
Hi all, We have a SQL Server 2005 64-bit, and recently I upgrade from build 3042 to 3054 and I try to do a maintenance plan for transaction logs(TL) backup, including cleanup for two days (have full backup every night).
Problem I have is that I want the TL files to dump in a different location(due to disk space), so I put in the UNC path in the "Create a backup file for every database - >Folder:\FileServerTLDBLogs"
NB: if using the local drives, it work
Check List Security: - The account that I used to create the plan is an sa account - The location that I dump the TL files, I have full access to the folder
SQL Statement: exec xp_cmdshell 'dir FileServerTLDBLogs' (it list all files)
Is this a bug for 64-bit? because I can do this on SQL Server 2005 32-bit and it's work perfectly
We are using SQL Server 2005 (SP1). I have created a maintenance plan that backs up up the datebase every night. The problem is that the transaction log is continuing to grow. I have been told that a full backup will automatically truncate and shrink the transaction log. However, this is not happening. How can I truncate and shrink the transaction log after a full backup as part of our maintenance plan. Thank you.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise, then SP1 and then SP2, Maintenance Plan worked. But if I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise and then SP2 directly (skipping SP1), the Check Database Integrity in Maintenance Plan was not working. The error message is as follows:

Other tasks like Rebuild Index seem to be fine. SP2 is supposed to be inclusive. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening.
I get the following message when I execute a mantenance plan to delete files older than 1 day.
Error # -1073548784
Executing the query "EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'',N'',N'2007-09-30T07:56:09' " failed with the following error: "Error executing extended stored procedure: Invalid Parameter". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I have a question that I hope someone can clear up for me. I have come across a number of different suggestions on DB maintenance, for example reindexing with the following script:
USE DatabaseName --Enter the name of the database you want to reindex
DECLARE @TableName varchar(255)
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_type = 'base table'
OPEN TableCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN DBCC DBREINDEX(@TableName,' ',90) FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName END
CLOSE TableCursor
DEALLOCATE TableCursor
My question is, doesn't the maintenance plan have this functionality inherent in it when you create the maintenance jobs to reindex? Is there a benefit to scripting things out vs just using the maintenance plan wizard for this sort of thing and any of the items it covers? I came from an Oracle background where this was a no-brainer but I am a bit confused on the choices with SQL Server.
I was working on a flat file import spec yesterday, using the import wizard, and I saved my work as a SSIS package. Today, if I connect to Integration Services through SQL Management Studio, I can see the package, but I can't edit it. I've tried to open the package using BIDS, but I can't find it on the server. Obviously it exists, but where?
How the heck can I edit this package? And, where is it? I don't understand why things are so much more difficult in 2005 vs. 2000.
I created a few in SqlServer2005 DEV version and ran them manually with success. But where are they? I chose the SqlServer storage option and I see them when I create Job and steps but how do I view/edit these packages from SqlServer Mgmt. Studio? The SSIS service is running.
I am running SQL 2005 Enterprise with SP2. In the past I have been able to successfully create SSIS packages using the BIDS and also Maintenance Plans from within Management Studio.
Today I tried to edit a maintenance plan and got the following error message:-
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio ------------------------------ Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {0BE35203-8F91-11CE-9DE3-00AA004BB851} failed due to the following error: 80040154. (Microsoft.DataWarehouse) ------------------------------ BUTTONS: OK ------------------------------
This error also occurs if I try to create a new Maintenance Plan.
I then tried opening an existing SSIS package in BIDS and got the following error:-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These errors only occur on my PC so I know that the problem is with my PC. I have totally uninstalled SQL 2005 components from my PC and reinstalled them with no luck.
To my knowledge, I haven't installed any other programs since creating these packages, although there's a possiblilty my PC may have had some patches applied through SMS.
I have deleted a database from SQL Enterprise Manager. Anyone know a way to clear that database from my maintenance plan? I do not wish to just uncheck the deleted database or create a new database plan. Thanks!
I have been given a SQL Server 2000 database to look after which has been set up with a Database maintenance plan. The plan is set to backup the complete database and the transaction log. The backups are written to the local disk correctly but the plan is also set to remove any backup files (both database .BAK and transaction log .TRN) that are over one week old. Complete database .BAK files are written daily and the .TRN are written every hour daily. The .BAK files are removed ok automatically but the .TRN files are not - they are just slowly filling the disk. There does not seen to be anything different between the way the main database and the transaction log is set up in the maintenance plan.
I have a strange thing in one of our Maintenance plans.
On the first tab where you check which databases you're including in the plan I have (say my database name is CAT) a 'CAT' and 'cat' database listed and the one chosen is 'cat'. However my database in all other views shows up in all caps. (even when I do an sp_helpdb)
The backups look like they're working, etc. but it just seems weird. If I go to create a new plan it only gives me the one option 'CAT' which is really what's there. I'm new and I'm thinking the database at one time was 'cat' and this is when the maintenance plan was created. Then it was renamed to 'CAT' and there's the two db's showing in the old mainenance plan.
What would you do? Create a new plan with "CAT" and just get rid of the old one with the weird 'cat' and 'CAT'?
I've created a database maintenance plan to backup a database, but it just isn't happening, am i missing something. The maintenance plan appears to be created successfully.
