Cannot Write To Logs?

Jun 20, 2007

Hello guys and gals.

Firstly apologies for my limited knowledge on SQL2005. I have inherited a problem with a database!

All the information I have been given from a 3rd party is as follows:

"The error is that the logs can not be written to. Is there a problem with their file system? Looks like the database is on some form of SAN??" The SAN part can be ignored I think!

I have also been given this by the changepoint administrator.

"the components that failed are `Import Data into fact tables` and `Task ForwardView Time Entry Failed"

My first question is:

"What is the first thing I can do to troubleshoot this?"

Secondly:

"How can I fix it!"

Once again, apologies for the lack of information but any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

SSIS Logs Vs Custom Logs Components

Feb 12, 2007

Hi,

In my case I have to log the errors raised by any task in a package to either windows event log, text file or SQL server. Also I need to send an email notifications to a group of people telling them about the error.

Now can I use SSIS package logging for logging the errors into the required destinations. I mean right clicking on the package and selecting Logging, then adding the required log providers and enabling the events for logging into those. I think I have to upfront select the log providers to log the error, I will not have the liberty to log the error to the destination, the name of which is passed as a variable to the package. This is okay with me though.

Now what will a custom log provider help me to do in this case. Also can I somehow configure my package to call the send mail task everytime an error is raised.

Also, one more option can be developing a package that only does the error handling. It will take in the paramters or the error codes and descriptions, the destination to write to and a flag to send mail or not for that particular type of error.

What do you think? Kindly advise.

Thanks in advance for your help and time.

Regards,

$wapnil

SQL Server Logs (error Logs)

Aug 28, 2001

When looking at SQL Server error logs, I noticed that the current error
log had grown to 1MB whereas most of the files are only a few KB.

QUESTION 1: Can I set the max size for an error log file? If so, how?

QUESTION 2: If not, is there a workaround?

Thanks

Backup Master Key, Cannot Write Into File 'c: Empmaster'. Verify That You Have Write Permissions, That The File Path Is Valid.

Jul 12, 2006

Hi,

I tried to backup the master key by the following syntax :

OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'mypassword'

BACKUP MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'c: empmaster' ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'mypassword'

but it failed and i got the following message:

Cannot write into file 'c: empmaster'. Verify that you have write permissions, that the file path is valid, and that the file does not already exist.

NB: I am using the "sa" user to execute this command.

I know that we have a security permission issue , but where and how ?

No Logs

Jan 26, 2008

I'm running a SQL Server 2005 Express installation.
Now I notice that the SQL Server logs (under Management in Mgmt Studio Express) are
empty - no logs are in there, neither under Current, nor under the "archived".
Do I have to switch on logging explicitly??
(I'm logging on as "sa".)

Alert When Sa Logs In

Sep 19, 2000

Currently, my client is allowing all the developers to log in as sa and most servers have a NULL sa password. Not a good idea. I am recommending them to move to integrated security with NT groups and to move away from using the sa login altogether. Then to secure the sa login, actually give it a password (something cryptic). I also wanted to set up an alert whenever someone logs in using the sa password. How can that be accomplished? A trigger on the sysprocesses table would work but seems a little risky.

Moving T-logs

Mar 7, 2002

Please share any experience and/or suggestions on moving the T-logs to a separate physical drive. What I have read so far suggests that the best way is to sp_detach, physically copy (not move) the logs, and then sp_attach again.. but some questions are unanswered.

For some reason, everything I've found has you copying both .mdf and .ldf files to the new drive... I guess that was just an oversight on the part of the individuals who wrote the documents.. can't imagine wanting to copy the .mdf files too.

When you sp_attach, must you specify the original location for the .mdf files as well as the new location for the .ldf files? Do you have to go into server properties, Database settings/ and change the location of 'default log directory' manually?

Is there any easier way to move the T-logs?
