I've got a report that shows the current status of sql activity on my servers for our ERP application. The one thing I've been wanting to do is to add the ability to check if a certain windows service on another server is running. Is this possible in Reporting Services 2005?
Thanks,
Ian
I am building an application that uses .NET 2.0 transaction feature. Since .NET 2.0 transaction model uses SQL Server 2005 Integration services for its operation, I want to check from my application (.NET 2.0 code) whether the Integration service is running on SQL box or not? Is there a way in which we can accomplish this task?

Hi,
On the page http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/compact/default.mspx it is recomended that you dont use SQL Server Compact Edition if "you want to run as a service" - is this refering to the host application or to the fact the SQL Server Compact Edition is an embedded database rather than the more traditional SQL Server client/server architecture?
If its the former is this likely to change at any point in the future? Also what sort of problems are likely to occur if we did run it from within a windows service?
Many thanks,
- James

Hi,
I want to know whether the MSDE is already installed or not on my system using a C# program. For this I have a method which will take the service name as argument and returns whether that servce is found or not. Now I want to know which windows service (service name) will be running on my machine if the MSDE is already installed. Please help me out.
I have a test server running both 2000 and 2005 Reporting Services. Each day I have to restart the Report Server Windows service for the 2005 Report Server. This is the error I get when I try to access the Report Manager
The Report Server Windows service 'ReportServer$TSQL4' is not running. The service must be running to use Report Server. (rsReportServerServiceUnavailable) Get Online Help
After I start the Report Server Windows service using the Report Services Configuration tool I can access the 2005 Report Manager without errors. The windows service start up type is set to automatic.
I can not find why the 2005 version keeps going down.

If you guys any solution for this please let me know.
I was wondering could this be a scale-out deployment issue ?
I also get the error when setting up the DataBase Setup :

Is it Possible adding Windows (activi directry users) from SQL Server which is running Windows authotication.?
I am attempting to write a Windows service that watches a database for uploaded files to import. When a new file is found, the corresponding SSIS package is run from the file system with variables passed through. I started development as a Windows app and copied the functionality to a service.
The app runs fine. The service does not. I get a "Failure" each time a package is executed. Everything is identical behind the scenes with the obvious exceptions that OnStart and OnStop handlers are buttons in the app. I added a script task at the beginning of one of the SSIS packages to notify me that it is even running at all. It doesn't even hit that initial task.
Again, the app will run all packages just fine. The data is imported and the results return as "Success."
The following is the code executing the package. Any help is appreciated. I've been banging my head on this one for a few days now. (Is there a tag to format a code sample?)
Dim pkgLocation As String
Dim pkg As New Package
Dim app As New Application
Dim pkgResults As DTSExecResult
pkgLocation = sPackageFolder & PackageName & ".dtsx"
pkg = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, Nothing)
Dim vars As Variables = pkg.Variables
vars("ImportId").Value = ImportId
vars("ProductionServer").Value = ProductionServer
vars("ProductionDatabase").Value = ProductionDatabase
vars("SourceFileName").Value = FileName
vars("SourceFilePath").Value = FilePath
pkgResults = pkg.Execute()
I am setting up security for access of database tables for members in a specific Windows User Group.I want to check in a SQL script if this Windows User group is added and if so, add database users and grant SELECT on specific tables.
I have tried this:
SELECT * FROM master.sys.syslogins WHERE name like '%FoeUsers' AND isntgroup = '1'
but that selects a SQL user or group and not a Windows Group.Is there a way to check if a Windows NT (active Directory) user group exists?
All,
I am looking at implementing some sort of throttling whereby "expensive" reports are setup as Subscriptions (and hence are run by the Windows Service), while all other requests go the Web Service.
My question is:
Do the two systems share any underlying systems? I understand (of course) that they use the same DB, etc. etc. However, I can't quite tell whether there is an underlying engine that is a common base or if they really just spin up different instances of the same objects and essentially each host the application separately?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Microsoft recommends that you do not use the Network Service account to run the SQL Server service (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx).
Can anyone tell me what the drawbacks are of doing this?
I am doing some research to see if the Service Broker technology would help my company with our Enterprise application. Here is our scenario: We have a 3 tier system. The first tier needs to contact the second tier asynchronously. Hence, using queues is a good option. However, the process that needs to happen on the second tier is mostly process intensive with little database updates. Is it still worth our time to use Service Broker?
I like the concept of Activation that Service Broker provides. But, from what I am reading most of the documentation describes activation as a way to call another stored proc. I definitely dont' want to do any process intensive work on the SQL server. So here comes my question...
How would I use a windows service to listen to the activation event from the Service Broker. I could have multiple windows services watching the same queue (scalable). Would I have to handle collisions myself? If so, I think I would rather keep it simple, and just use a simple table as my queue.
Thanks for your comments in advance...
Vijay.
Hi,
I have a small Vb project( it is triggers Crystal report to run) which should be scheduled with SQL 7.0.
Project itself runs without any problem.
When I schedule a job to run that Myproject.exe with WIN95 Or create a DTS package and execute it on WINNT it also works fine.
But when I am trying to schedule that package OR create a separate job on WINNT to run Myproject.exe- nothing happen(it run 47 hours since yeasterday-nothing happen) Also under Job/Edit/Step1/Command I am using the following command
either: Myproject.exe OR cmd /c "D:VB98f100estvbCrystalMyproject.exe"
Any ideas,
Andy
Hi All,
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have multiple SQL7 SP1 running on NT4.0SP5 Servers. When I start up the console, I recieve a message saying 'This service is not known to be running.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been running Windows 2003 64bit and SQL2000 SP4 for over 2 months with out any issues.
Sadly we had a server crash "NTldr missing or corrupted"
now when the one engineer looked at it he suggested to reload the server with Windows 2003 32 bit version as there were known compatibility problems between 2003 64bit and SQL 2000 32bit but that you can install SQL 2000 32bit onto a Windows 2003 64 bit server.
Now i dont really believe this statement nor can i find any documentation supporting this. I believe this server might have crashed due to a new patch that was released the last 2 or 3 week either on Windows or SQL. Does anyone know where i can verify what patches was released?
Maybe someone else can share their thoughts with me.
I want to monitor the transaction log files for growth to limits and be able to automatically shrink the log... I had to do it manually the last time I had to do it with my current setup.. Is there away without having to run a windows service for monitoring the file size or drive space left?
Example; current transaction log is ~8gigs at full limit... reduced was ~5gigs, this is just 1 transaction log for 1 database on server.

Greetings. I'm wondering if y'all typically turn off filesystem indexing (IE: uncheck "Allow indexing service to index this disk for fast file searching") on the drives that hold your ldf and mdf files? Do any mssql services depend on this functionality?
Thanks,
Amy
HI,
Recently i had to maintain few SSIS packages. One of the packages keeps running indefinitely to monitor a folder for new files using FileSystemWatcher. Once new file is arrived, it simply renames file and calls another package for further processing. My first impression was that windows service might be a better choice for such functionality.
Any idea about these two approaches to implement this functionality i.e Continuously running a package using indefinite loop as compared to a windows service.
Thanks

The problem is integrating an ADO connection into a Service in C#. The peculiar thing is that the same thing works well in an application but throws a problem in the Service i.e. the Service doesnt want to start...
The problem is at establishing the connection - but the same thing works just fine in an Windows application.
string MySqlConnString = "SERVER=N16\SQLEXPRESS; TRusted_connection=yes; database = EventTrack2007";
MySqlConnection = new SqlConnection();
MySqlConnection.ConnectionString = MySqlConnString;
MySqlConnection.Open();
Thank you!
The Sql Mobile site on MSDN recommends that you do not host SQL Everywhere when running as a service. Is this a recommendation, if so why, or is it simply not possible. My understanding is that when hosteed in a IIS hosted application a not supported exception is throw.
If anyone has any ideas on this or pointers to some resources i would appreciate them.
Thank You
Hey
Ive read on some pages that it is in fact possible to install and run SQL Server 2000 on Vista. In my university, SQL Server 2000 is still used to teach us about databases and how to administrate them. The computers run Windows 2000 Professional. I need to be able to use 2000 so I can not only have compatibility but also know the steps and all possible conditions and solutions to problems.
Would installing and running SQL Server 2000 on Vista be possible or am I better off using 2005? Is there much difference between these 2 versions?
Is this supported on Windows 2003 sp2 and does anyone know how to do a silent install of this using Altiris?
Thanks!
We have SQL Server 7.0 installed on a server which we didnt think it was installed on. Oops! How do I find out what SQL Server service pack is installed on the server, if any. I tried the following stored procedures to no avail. select @@version and xp_msver.

I have a web service running on a sql server that I want to use to call a package on the same server. I create an application pool on IIS to use a configurable identity (IWAM_<ServerName>) and added this account to sql.
I have a question and problem.
Question:
Excluding specific tasks that I need the account to be able to run what are the minimum permissions this account needs to run a package (read access to MSDB?)?
Problem:
For the time being I have the IWAM account in sql added to the sysadmin server role and a server administrator. When I attempt to call the web service I receive "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". If I run the web service from my local machine the .Execute method of my package returns 1 (a constant of
DTSExecResult which indicates failure).
I have verbose logging on the package enabled but nothing gets logged. I looked in the server logs and don't see any relevent entries for application/security or system. Since the IWAM user has significant permissions I have no idea what else to look at.
Anyone have suggestions?
I've done a bit of work with the External Activator but I think it may be a bit overkill for what I need to do (which is RECEIVE messages from a single queue and process them with managed code). I've tried creating a Service Broker Interface service that retrieves messages from this queue, but I notice that if I set the timeout to -1 to watch for messages indefinitely, the Service never completes the OnStart code.
I notice if I change the service's timeout to something greater than 0, the message is retrieved, but this defeats the purpose of using a Windows Service app, which I want to continuously monitor the queue. I noticed the External Activator spawns a thread to start monitoring an EventNotification queue, which I can bypass since I want to monitor the notification's target queue.
Rushi, can you point me in the right direction to create a Windows Service that constantly monitors a queue? Also, I'd like the ability to monitor multiple databases (the queue name would be the same) as well, so if that is not feasible from a Windows Service please let me know.
Also, am I sacrificing scalability by NOT using the External Activator and switching to a Windows Service (I believe the External Activator will spawn multiple instances of the processing executable)?
Thanks,
Chris
I'm building a Windows Service which keeps getting denied access to SQL Server 2k. The Service operates as a System User rather than an individual user profile.

hi all.
please help with my dilemma.
this is my task:
i should write a service that will run every 1 hour.
this service should check a folder.
inside this folder there are some xml files, all of them in the same format exactly.
when the service encounters with this xml file, it should open it,pull some data out of it, and update a table in the db.
NOW - I HAVE 2 OPTIONS, AND THIS IS THE DILEMMA:
should i write a clr function to do this task, or should i just write a standard c# windows service, that will open a connection to the db when it should perform update?
what are the advatages?
Hi,
I'm currently writing a windows service which will generate XML documents for FTP upload. When running the service the goal is to get records from a stored procedure, then generate the XML documents.
When running the service (lokal service account) the connection fails; instead of using the supplied connection string, it defaults to the LocalService account. How can this be solved?
Thanks in advance
I'm developing a Windows Service to watch for an e-mail and then launch a package. It extracts some parameters from the e-mail that I then need to pass to the package. What is the best way to launch the package from the service? Should I run it in a new thread? I don't want the service to have to wait for the package to complete. How would I pass the parameters? Should I use dtexec? If the service fails or is stopped and the package is still running, it would terminate the package also, correct? Any way to avoid that? Thanks.
