Could Not Find Standby In Sysservers. Run Sp_addlinkedserver To Add The Server To Sysservers
Apr 23, 2007
a different scenario leads to the same problem, the error message:
Could not find "Standby" in sysservers. Run "sp_addlinkedserver" to add the server to sysservers"
I browsed the thread for the same error message and the solution doesn't applies to me. Here is my system settings. we have a kind of backup system. a primary server is set up to copy the database files to a standby server. when the primary is off, the standby server will take over primary's name and ip. and our application runs on the standby as if in the primary. in both machine the odbc connection are set to point the primary server.
this setup works well in SQL server 2000 for both primary and standby servers, but it gives the error message on SQL 2005 in the standby server. I noticed that this is because the application opens an empty table. after inserting a record by hand, the error has gone away.
I know it doesn't make too much sense, but it 's what I observed. Could anyone give me some input how could this happens and what' s the solution?
I have SQL SERVER 2005 with SP2 on windows XP professional.
When I execute DROP PROCEDURE manually,it works. However when I execute inside a loop made using static cursors, it generates following error "Could not find server 'drop procedure dbo' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers."
OR it gives this error "Could not find stored procedure"
I'm getting the following message from a VB6 program running ADO...
It will process a job then I get the message.... [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not find server 'FLDB1' in syssservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers...
This started to happen after I moved the db from SS2000 to SS2005...
Our db server and sql server instance on that server are both named 'FLDB1'... Do I need to run the above execute sp_addlinkedserver command on the new 2005 server?
We just upgraded to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2000. The DB was backed up using Enterprise Manager and restored with SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP. Everything went as expected (no errors, warnings, or any other indicator of problems).
The DB resides in a DB Server (Server1) and the application we are running is a Client/Server system where the AppServer resides on Server2.
During the application's operation all read, create, and delete transactions work fine but no update works. When viewing details in Trace Log I see this message after attempting any update:
Could not find server 'Server1' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers. (7202)
I have a program in VB.NET 2003 where I have query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM master..sysservers WHERE srvname = '" & strServerName & "'". This program copies data from .MDF file to another .MDF file. This query is written since I have created linked server.
Issue 1: But now I to copy data from .SDF (SQL Server Mobile Edition) to desktop .MDF file. For this I cannot fire the above query on .SDF file. What is the other alternative?
Issue 2: In the existing prgram that copies data from .MDF to .MDF, I have created linked server. Can I do the same with mobile edition?
I am getting the error "Could not find server 'bmf' in sysservers. Executive sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers" when running the following script. if I remove the last bit of the FROM statement (i.e. bmf.dbo.activities.activity_desc actdesc2) then the script runs fine. I'm confused as the same server and DB are being referenced elsewhere in the FROM part of the script.
I've been reading a million and one posts on replication
My scenario is that i have a live SQL 2000 server. In a DR invokation, i'e i've lost my live sever, i want to be able to access the same data at the DR (SQL 2000) site and have it accessable to the users. DR server has a different name to the live box.
Replicate
Master CRMDatabase
Data changes all the time but can have hourly replication of transaction logs for this example. I've currently researched a sp called update logons but this has to be fed each account name to enable them on the new server. There must be a way to activate all CRMDatabase logons with the new server?
Could someone be kind enough to lead me through a step by step guide on the best solution.
Could you suggest me some of the ways to have standby database server?
All of a sudden my company is in a need for standby database server in sync upto the 10 minutes. Main production database is about 8 GB. It serves almost 6 main sites for the company. No body in my group has worked with standby server issue before.
I need to create standy server. My production server has SQL Server 7.0 and standby server has SQL Server 6.5. I've sync the data between two servers and is planning to do log shipping every 15 min. But I'm little confused, Can the version of Sql server be problemetic? Pls. anyone guide me.
Can I implement the Standby SQL Server using the SQL Server Standard Edition? What's actually the difference between Standard and Enterprise Edition? As I know the Enterprise edition can be installed for up to 32 CPU while Standard edition can only be installed for up to 4 CPU.
Hi:Anyone has a detailed procedure description about how to setup a standbyserver? Microsoft makes it sounds very easy which are more complicated.How to handle system databases, does standby server need to be exacthardware as the primary one?Thanks in advance,Xiaodong*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Where can I find a document that describes how to setup and configure a standby server?
I'm new to SQL Server 7 (I like it). We have a NT 4.0 server with SQL Srvr 7. We just bought another Box that will have the same thing on it with the idea if the 1st goes down, the new box is a 'hot' standby...of course a 'cold' standby will be ok too... I'm not fussy at this point. If you have info on both great.
I'm the SQL Srvr 7.0 DBA (my background is Oracle DBA). I've been doing alot of reading!!!
Can some provide the information I need or point me to someone I can contact?
I hope to create a 'Standby' server for a critical web application. I am tempted to set up replication, but realize this task could also be done by a scheduled DTS job, which may be much simpler. I have read up on replication and have some reservations about it. A little about our environment: Data does not change very rapidly. Some days maybe no edits, some days maybe changes to 100 rows. The environment is stable, there are few DDL changes....development is essentially over. This system has 10 databases which it uses. Hence, all would need either replication or DTS Transfers. Intended publishing & subscribing servers are on same domain. Both are production servers. I Believe either Snapshot or Transactional would meet our needs if we replicate. There is no user need for replicated data. This is SOLELY a Disaster Recovery motivated situation. Reservations about replication include the hassles with identity columns, the hassles with Subscriber Databases being left in 'Read Only' mode (thereby slowing & complicating the recovery process), the difficulty in cleaning up a server after replication is halted if we abandon replication. My gut feeling is DTS might be best. There are 10 Databases. Sizes (inaccurately) reported are 5 at less than 5 MB, others at the following sizes: 10 mb, 24 mb, 26 mb, 39 mb and one big one: 3000 mb (3 gb). Latency is not a big issue. If these were DTS'd nightly that would be fine. Transactional Replication would be slightly better, but the amount of data change is not high. I would solicit anybody's input on this. Thanks,
We are maintaining a stand-by database server by doing a daily manual restore of logs. On weekends we do Reindexing of the tables for performance boost. some of these reindexing jobs take upto 10 Hrs We have found that the restore of the logs taken in the source server after the reindexing job takes as much time it took to do the reindexing. Typically 15 transaction log sessions for a day takes 40 minutes to restore. However the restore of the tranlog that was taken after a 10 Hr long reindexing job takes as much time(10 hrs) to do the restore also. The size of the tranlog does not justify this time frame. ( Size of tran logs after reindex is more than other logs but is less than 3 GB) I would like to know what exactly is happening during the restore of the tran log. Is it doing the reindexing in the destination system as well? The destination server (standby) is in non recovered mode all the time. The interesting thing is that I would only take 8 Hrs to do a full restore of the database. We are using ArcServ software for backup and restore.
We are on SQLServer Enterprise 7.0 sp4 on NT 4 Enterprise on source and destination. We run SAP R/3 on a MSCS Clustered env. The source database size is 260 GB
We have a process wherein the production DB is replicated to a server.subscriberA nightly and then a job processes the database for reporting services. Whenever the job fails we have to redo the process all over again. By the time we are finished it is already late in the day and our customers dont like it. Our solution for a standby server is as follows: 1. create another server.subscriberB and start same process from server.subscriberA. So, both servers are replicated from the Production server but SubscriberB is set to run half an hour delayed than subscriberA. The purpose is that should subscriberA process fails, we still have subscriberB. Then we could just change the datasource of the reports to subscriberB 2. replicate subscriberA.ReportServerTempDB to subscriberB.ReportServerTempDB 3. replicate subscriberA.ReportServer to subscriberB.ReportServer
I will explain my environment. I have two servers A and B both with Win2003 SP1 In the server A, i have a database sql server 2005 in compatibility mode -> 8.0.
In server B have SQL server 2005 and one database in standby / read-only mode. This base is getting to the transactional hour of the server A and applying in standby database. This works fine.
The problem I have is: I need to get the standby server B and create another database for test using yours files. I can get the files of server A because i have 512kpbs link and would be impractical.
Putting in the standby offline mode, i copying the files to another directory on the same machine, but when I try to create another database using the duplicate files of standby receive the following message:
Msg 1824, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Can not attach a database that was being restored.
What is the command that I need to execute to attach the new bank without message Msg 1824. The command that executing is below:
USE master CREATE DATABASE ON homo (FILENAME = N'F:MSSQLDATAhomohomo_prd_homo.mdf '), (FILENAME = N'F:MSSQLloghomohomo_prd_log_homo.ldf ') FOR ATTACH As a newcomer I do not know which command I run before attach to conclude restore.
I execute restore database with homo recovery but the database does not yet exist. If I run the restore standby database with recovery, I lose standby and need to download backup copy the entire database in server A to B using link.
We need to perform some maintainence on our database server which may take quite some time. We have a standby server which we constantly apply logs to. We are planning to recover the standby server and use it while the production server is being maintained.
My question is how to I get back to using the original production machine. The only way I can think of is to do a full backup on the standby machine, do some transaction log backup and then restore these on the original production machine.
Is there any way to use the full backup from the original production machine and well as logs from the standby machine. When I try this I get the message that the database has not been rolled forward far enough.
In summary: 1. Backup full database on Prod Server 2. Restore full database on Standby Server 3. Backup transaction log (1) from Prod Server 4. Restore transaction log (1) on Standby Server 5. Recover database on Standby Server 6. Make modifications on Standby Server 7. Backup transaction log (2) on Standby Server 8. Restore full database on Prod Server 9. Restore transaction log (1) on Prod Server 10. Attempt to restore transaction log (2) fails.
I have one cluster (two machines) of sql server 2005 active/passive called "ClustA" with one Ent. server edition license and another separate server called "STDA" as warm standby server for "ClustA".
We have the following scenario: Server A replicates Database A to Server B. Server C has Database A on it as well, but in standby mode. We are applying the transaction logs generated by Database A on Server A to the database on Server C leaving it in standby mode each time.
Let's say we had planned maintenance for Server Aand dumped the last set of transactions on Server A in standby mode to be applied to to Server C. What happens to the replica on Server B? When I start to use Server C, can I backup its transactions and apply them to Server A, and then have those transactions replicated to Server B? And then what do I do when the maintenance is complete so that I can swithc back to Server A and have the replication continue on as before the maintenance to Server B?
Can anyone direct me to a code that would automatically apply transaction logs to a DB in the standby server? We have a process that dumps the transaction log backup from the primary server into the backup server every hour on the hour, but I need to apply that transaction log as soon as it is in the standby server.
I am sure someone will ask, why not do transactional replication or log shipping? My answer to that is I have yet to learn how to setup replication between servers. I need to get our backup server up and running in the next few days.
SQL Users/DBAs,I'm trying to move data files around for a database that is in standbymode. I can detach/attach the database fine usingSP_DETACH_DB/SP_ATTACH_DB , but when I re-attach the database the logsequence is broken and I can't restore any more logs. Does anyoneknow if there is a way to move around data files and keep the databasein standby mode?Thanks,JB
We are using MSSQL 2005 and Log Shipping. After making our secondary SQL server primary, how can we put the secondary SQL server back into standby mode?
I got asked a question yesterday about queries that JOIN between two databases on a single server... Simple enough
SELECT e1.employee_number FROM Database1.dbo.employees As e1 INNER JOIN Database2.dbo.employees As e2 ON e1.employee_number = e2.employee_number
But what about joining tables from two separate servers? I figured that this would use full 4 part naming
SELECT e1.employee_number FROM Server1.Database1.dbo.employees As e1 INNER JOIN Server2.Database2.dbo.employees As e2 ON e1.employee_number = e2.employee_number
But I got the following error message
Server: Msg 7202, Level 11, State 2, Line 1 Could not find server 'Server2' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.
So off I went to trusty BoL and Google to see what sp_addlinkedserver was all about and came up with the following
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'Server2', N'SQL Server'
Is this syntax correct?
I have yet to execute it because I have a couple of other questions that I was hoping you people could help me with first... Is this process reversible? I've not found a sp_removelinkedserver or similar yet (it's probably staring me right in the face!) Does the link affect all databases on a single server, or just the one I'm playing with? How do I connect to a specific database on a specific server? Is it a simple case of linking the two servers and then using 4 part naming to do so?
Hmm, I think that pretty much covers it! EDIT: highlighted in pink
Our Production server is Windows 2003 and SQL 2000 Enterprise. The server name is VB-GP.
I dumped 2 of the databases from the production server and restored them to server name SQL2K5-Pub (a TEST server) which was a fresh install of Windows 2003 and SQL 2000 Enterprise. I then upgraded this "TEST" server to SQL 2005 Enterprise. All is fine so far.
Now I'm setting up Transactional Replication in my test environment. I configured SQL2K5-Pub as a Distributor which went well. I created a a Publication of 1 database which went well. I attempted to create a Publication of the second database and received the following error.
Error Message ********************************************************************* Could not find server 'VB-GP' in sys.servers. Verify that the correct server name was specified. If necessary, execute the stored procedure sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sys.servers. Could not use view or function '[dbo].ContractBillingStatus_ *********************************************************************
Remember - server name VB-GP is the production server but I have restored to a test server with a different server name. I do not want the production server to have any part of my test environment.
I have used this command sp_addlinkedserver 'linkedserver', 'Access', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','C:CATS_MDBintrax_1_db.mdb'
to link an .mdb databse. the trouble is, I do not know how to query tbl_user which is inside. When I try
Code Snippetselect * from [linkedserver].catalogs.dbo.tbl_user
it throws this error:
Msg 7312, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid use of schema or catalog for OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "linkedserver". A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog or schema.
Is there anyway I can implement a standby server in SQL Server 6.5 ? In addition are there any tools in the market which I can use to perform a differential backup ?
I believe SQL Server 7.0 can do this, will I be able to use ARCserverIT or seagates's backup exec to perform these functions ?
Hi I could add a server with the following statement..
USE MASTER GO EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'SiebInt','SQL Server' GO
In the enterprise manager I could see the server under liked server ..But when I try to access tables under the server it gives me an error and the error is
GENERAL NETWORK ERROR, CHECK YOUR NETWORK DOCUMENTATION
Can any one tell me what is the reason for the above error and how to get around the problem.It's very urgent
