Hello,
I have an SSIS package that contains a source to DB2 using the Native OLE DBIBM OLE DB Provider for DB2 in the connection mananger. The connection requires a specific user name and password. 'Test Connection' passes, and I am able to preview data in the OLE DB Source Editor.
The data then goes through a Data Conversion transform. The OLE DB Destination editor uses a Native OLE DBSql Native Client connection manager. 'Test Connection' passes. The SQL Server edition is 2005 Enterprise x64.
When the package is executed within Visual Studio Professional on a Windows XP (sp2) machine, The package hangs at this dataflow. I set up a data viewer between the DB2 source and the conversion transform, but no data appears(DefaultBufferMaxRows is set to 100). In the 'Execution Results', validation completes, but nothing happens beyond that. There are no errors or messages in the error list. In the Control Flow, the dataflow control appears yellow, and stays that way.
I have noticed that when this package runs, a command window flashes up for a brief second.
How do I troubleshoot this? Why is there no data in the data viewer between the source and the data conversion transform?
I have installed SQL Server Express Edition. I have migrated a set of tables from Oracl10g (by using Microsoft's Migration Tool Kit).While I am trying the following simple update command, the session hangs and it never finishes !!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to execute a SQL query, inside a dataflow (not in controlFlow) and need the records returned to continue the dataflow... In my case I cant use lookup and OLE DB COmmand and nothing else...
I need to execute a query and need the records for dataflow... with OLE DB command I cant see the fields returned... :-(
How can I do it? Using a script? Can I use a Script Component? That receive 2 parameters for input and give me the fields returned from query as output?
publisher - sql2000 sp4 distributor - sql 2005 sp1 subscribers - mix of sql2005 sp1 and sql 2000 sp4 we have a database with around 300 tables and replicate it to around 10 different subscribers. some in the same datacenter and others in different offices. We have around 50-60 different publications for this. Some have 20 or so tables others have only one table if they are large tables. Tables range in size from a few hundred rows to over 20 million. Some tables replicate a few commands, others 100000 or more commands on a daily basis. Around 6 weeks ago we started having problems with one table. It's 1.4 million rows and replicates around a few thousand commands on a daily basis. We saw a backlog of around 150000 to 400000 commands. We had some replication issues at this time with this distributor and we traced these problems to memory errors and the replication job would not start or stop. After restarting the job it pushed all the commands through to the subscribers. A few weeks ago we started noticing another backlog again and this time it wouldn't clear. A few times we just ran another snapshot at night but then we started to investigate. We noticed that some people were doing mass updates of 30000 or more rows and this time they weren't going through. It would just build up and cause blocking on the subscribers along with spiking the CPU to 50% or more on a constant basis. As soon as we turn off the replication for this publication everything goes back to normal. Meanwhile all the other publications are happily replicating tens of thousands of rows with no problems. One thing I noticed is that these updates cause a command to transaction ratio of thousands to one where everything else is less than 10 to 1. I thought this was the cause but then the senior DBA updated around 20000 rows in another publication in one update and it went through within a few minutes. Microsoft is absolutely no help. They are looking through logs and they tried to tell us to upgrade our hardware but we have some ancient subscribers for other busy publications with no issues. Right now we are thinking that it might be corruption on the publisher table and we'll be creating a new one this weekend. Any other ideas?
I am having a Data flow task in For each loop which will gets 100 sourcetable names and 100 target table names...
am having a simpleData flow task which trasferes from OLEDBSource to OLEDBDestination. I am repeating the Dataflow task which transfers from sourcetablename extracted from for loop to a destination table var.
The problem am gettting is for the first table it is able to transfer correcly because I did mapping for those tables at design time...but for the next coming sourcetable-desttable (which r having different no of cols,datatypes) its giving Validation failed...and...needs to refresh metadata....
is there any way to refresh the metadata of Data flow task (I set the property of OLEDBSource validate external meta to false then also same error is coming)
Hello, I have not been able to locate information on the following problem. The first step I have in a packge (Execute SQL Command) is to delete the data from an MS Access database table. The package hangs at this step after all validation is complete. In the package, once the table data is deleted, it is repopulated in a later step. The deletion step and the repopulation step use the same connection manager.
There is no information in the log about an error. At the time the package ran, there was a lock file on the database with about six users connected. I'm not sure what version of Access the database was created in, but I have 2003 on my machine, and I cannot open the database.
I've a dataflow task on For Each Loop container at control flow of SSIS package. This For Each Loop container reads the CSV files from the specified location one by one, and populates a variable with current file name. Note, the tables where I would like to push the data from each CSV file are also having the same names as CSV file names.On the dataflow task, I've Flat File component as a source, this component uses the above variable to read the data of a particular file.
Now, here my question comes, how can I move the data to destination, SQL table, using the same variable name?I've tried to setup the OLE DB destination component dynamically but it executes well only for first time. It does not change the mappings as per the columns of the second CSV file. There're around 50 CSV files, each has different set off columns in it. These files needs to be migrated to SQL tables using the optimum way.
Which is the best way to setup the Dataflow task for this requirement?Also, I cannot use Bulk insert task here as we would like to keep a log of corrupted rows.
My client is using SQL Server 6.5 on NT 4.0. They have recently began to have their SQL server session freeze intermittently. I have determined that only users that are accessing one particular database are freezing which leads me to a locking problem. What is the best way to determine the locking problem (i.e. event logs, sp_lock, ....)?
I have a DTS that is loading 6 text files into respective tables. Before loading this files the tables are emptied using SQL tasks with the following code: DELETE FROM Table1 WHERE (OMC=?)
OMC is a PK from table1 and ? is a parameter within the DTS. Occasionally the system hangs executing these delete statements for one of the tables (not always the same!) I’m forced to reboot and then DB goes trough a recovery process.
I have a problem where a SQL 2005 server in the morning will deny all connections do to a time out error. Sytem has 4 CPU's in it and sqlservr.exe is utilizing 85% of all CPU's. If I run filemon it does not show activity to any of the SQL databases. I get a login timeout message when I try to connect via the enterprise manager or from a command prompt, even if I bump the timeout delay to 5 minutes. If I restart the SQL Server services all is fine for a few days.
On random occasions, our SQL Server instance will just hang and the users will not be able to use the application until we restart the SQL Server 2005 Service. Anyone have any ideas what we might do to figure out what is going on? The server hung up at 8:00 AM this morning. There was nothing after our midnight backup in the log until we rebooted the server at 8:05 AM.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Eric-
Is it possible to determine the data flow within a database? e.g. I start by adding/inserting a record in MainTable1, then through a trigger SubTable1, SubTable2 have records inserted into, SubTable3 has a record updated into, then a StoredProcedure1 is run which updates first SubTable4, then a StoredProcedure2 is run which adds a record in SubTable5. So by simply adding a record in MainTable1, I affect 5 other tables.
Imagine a more complex process than this one now (which I'm currently facing and I want to win time and precision; I will still investigate it myself (if I will find an answer first - I will post it here)) Is there a way I could "extract" this flow by using T-SQL?
I need to import several million records into a SQL table from a pipe-delimited text file. I have tried SSMS 'Import/Export' which is slow so I tried bcp from the command line.Importing records into an empty table with no indexes worked a dream. However..Tried to import 13 million records into an indexed table. After almost 50% of the import (6721000 records) bcp appears to have hung and the Server disk is flashing continuously.
We have a SQL server, version 7, that has 4 CPU's. Some of our staff have reports that must be run at random times before cutting checks etc. and these reports bog down the servers CPU's big time, enough so that we can not access the server via Enterprise Manager and at times not even through Query Analyzer. During this time of course other users can not do standard work of saving or accessing the database. Our Processor queue length never seems to go over 1 now. (We recently went from 2 to 4 CPU's do to a 1.4 average queue length).
I have heard that is is possible to limit the number of CPU's that certain query's or events can use. What is the proper terminology for this and can a person do this with limited knowledge? If this can be done during "working hours" so that during off hours query's can use all CPU's, even better.
I wonder if anyone can help.I have a scheduled job running overnight to delete old records for aparticular Db table.The table contains more than half million records and the scriptsimply uses the date field to delete any of the records which have adate older than 7 days. My guess is that there will be some 100,000records which need to be deleted.The job takes ages to run and whilst it is running sql server iscompletely locked and the associated website is effectively offlinebecause of it.I think I know where the problem lies but I don't know why.Whoever created the Db table created a varchar 255 field as theprimary key. The field is then filled with a string of 40 charactersgenerated within the webserver script to have a 'unique' string.Those are the facts. The following is my interpretation.I think the server is unable to cope with not only a character fieldas primary key but also one with so many characters in it. In such alarger table presumably in order to delete the old records it must dosome sort of ordered sort on the Primary Key and it is this that iscausing the problem.I would like to introduce a new field called 'id' make it autonumberedand primary and make the errant field non-primary.So my question is this:Is my analysis correct but more importantly, why? Can anyone give meclear reasoning for it.Also is the solution sound?Table looks like this:clientID intrefID varchar 255 Primary KeyfieldA varchar 512creationDate datetimefieldB varchar 255field C varchar 32Job script:delete from myTable where creationDate < [7daysAgo]Thanks in anticipationBill
Hi,The SQL server 2000 Server hangs some times. It is not periodic. It isnot specific in any queries, which are taking more time to execute.Because, it is occurring for different types of applications on thesame server on different machines. For the same applications when wehad the SQL Server 7.0 we didn't have any problem.O/S: Windows 2000 advanced serverServer: Dell power edge 2600 4 way server with 2 GB RAMDB: SQL 2000 - Enterprise edition (Normal default installation)- Noservice packs.Are there any server settings to be done...?Thanks in advance..RegardsSeni
Something strange has happened with Reporting Services on the server. When the ReportingServicesService windows service is runnig, it loads CPU (up to 100%) and allocates more and more virtual memory (up to 1,5Gb). There aren't subscriptions for the Report Server and nobody permanently executes reports on it. How can I fix that memory leak?

Hi, I just installed SQL Server 2005 Express w/ Advanced Services (9.00.3042.00) on a Windows XP Pro workstation and I am having some trouble. When I launch the Management Studio and try to change or add anything - like creating a SQL Server login, or changing the default folder for databases - the software just hangs on "Executing".
For example, right now I am watching it still say "Executing" after just opening Server Properties and clicking OK without changing anything. It's been doing this for 15 minutes with no sign of it stopping.
I checked the ERRORLOG file and it seems to be completely clean with no errors. Similarly, the Windows Event Logs look clean.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue? I've tried rebooting, reinstalling (and then rebooting) etc...
My sql server 7.0 sp2 hangs occasionaly. When looking at the sql connections they are all working and then al of a sudden they go to 0 and the clinets that are searching arewaiting for about 30 seconds or get timed out.
Also the CPU could be at 25% and then goes to 0 then back to 25%
I am also getting the error 17805 Invalid buffer recieved from the client.
this is to do with the ODS.( microsoft info)
Any suggestions as to what is causing this.? or has anyone else encountered this before.
We want to read data from a DB2 view so we set up a linked server in SQL7 (ODBC via Neon's Shadow Direct) but when we issue the following type of query from Query analyzer: select * from openrowset(my_db2link,'select * from test.myview where mycol = ''value''') it just hangs, and we can't kill the process (the Enterprise manager 'KIll Process' button has no effect!) - the only way we can get rid of these queries seems to be to stop/restart SQL Server When we look at current activity in Enterprise manager the process seems to be waiting for a resource (either MISCELLANEOUS or PAGEIOLATCH) The query works OK if I run it on the server using Shadow direct, so the error must be between SQL Server and Shadow direct Has anyone seen this error before? Thanks in advance, John
I am working in Powerbuilder and SQL Server 2000. Within the application I dynamically Drop then recreate a view named view_selection_list. When another user accesses any screen using view_selection_list the screen will hang on the statement "If Exists (SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'view_selection_list' AND type = 'V') DROP VIEW view_selection_list". I also went directly onto the database ran select * from view_selection_list from Query Analyzer. It hangs when the original user creating the view is still active. I know that the issue is locking. I don't know how to fix it.
For example ; String ls_sql ls_sql="If Exists ( SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'view_selection_list' AND type = 'V') DROP VIEW view_selection_list " Execute Immediate :ls_sql;
ls_sql="Create View view_selection_list as " Case 'State' ls_sql+=" Select distinct proj_id,'State - '+proj_state title from project where proj_state='"+is_data+"'"
Case 'Project' ls_sql+=" Select distinct proj_id,'Project - '+proj_nam title from project where proj_id='"+is_data+"'"
Case 'All Active Projects' ls_sql+=" Select proj_id,'Project -' +proj_nam title from project where proj_status = 4 and signed_acq_agmt = 'Y' "
End Choose
Execute Immediate :ls_sql;
The SQL Server connection in the application is: SQLCA.DBMS = "OLE DB" SQLCA.ServerName="acq" SQLCA.LogPass ="*******" SQLCA.LogId = "acq" SQLCA.Lock = "RU" SQLCA.AutoCommit = False SQLCA.DBParm = "PROVIDER='SQLOLEDB',DATASOURCE='FSRFIN103'"
I have a procedure on SQLSERVER DB1 where i insert into few tables on SQL SERVER DB1 and delete a table on remote server SQL SERVER DB2 via linked server. Unfortunately, the delete is taking for ever. Procedure never completes. Data in that table is close to 500 records.
I have delete statement like Exec(delete linkserv.onedb.stg.tab1)
Later i modified the delete query as below but no luck
DELETE OPENQUERY(linkserv, 'Select * from onedb.stg.tab1')
What can i do here to get this fixed? Please see linked server properties below Enable promotion of distributed transactions for RPC:True Use Remote Collation: True All other properties : False
How can i debug my SQL Server procedure and find the issue. I came to know that i do not have permission to use debug feature on SSMS.
We have SQL 2000 running on Server 2003. The server has 4 GB RAM, RAID 1 and has the /3GB switch in Boot.ini. We have 6 databases, the largest is about 14 GB. Until recently I could use Enterprise Manager to perform database backups to a folder on the same server but now the operation fails. After selecting the location for the backup and clicking OK, the hard drive light comes on but goes out after 15 - 30 seconds. The progress bar does not move. I've waited and waited but nothing further happens and the server doesn't respond. The only solution is to push the power button and let the server re-boot. Very occasionally the backup will run for a minute or two and the progress bar might get to about one third of the way across, (in which case the destination file will show up with more than 0 bytes), but it never completes. I can find nothing in the event log relating to this problem. As far as I am aware, nothing has changed since the last successful backup. Backups to tape using Retrospect appear to work fine but I haven't done a test restore. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try to get the backups working again?
I have an SSIS package that executes in about 1:20min from Visual Studio on my local machine. While executing, my machine is somewhat unresponsive.
When I deploy the package to the database server -- the very same database server that I am accessing from my local machine -- the package executes but eventually hangs. It appears to be running out of memory, and I usually have to kill the process to get the machine to respond. While it's hanging, the machine is unresponsive to all users. The hardware (including memory) is identical between my local development box and the server.
How should I troubleshoot this? I've tried deploying the package to MSDB, file system, running from dtexec, and running from dtexecui. This is very frustrating!
Just purchased a new server, and am trying to install SQL Server 2005 standard, 64 bit. I'm running Windows Server 2005 r2 64 bit.
Setup support files installs fine. System configuration passes all 14 checks. Then it moves to install and just hangs there. Eventually, perhaps maybe after 20-30 minutes does it create a message saying that the Install has failed to respond. Retry or cancel.
Has anyone seen this kind of error message? I pulled it from the SQL Server Logs. In this occurance the error occurs at 1:18am, my jobs begin to fail thereafter, and then the SQL Server Services auto restarts at 3:14am.
2003-01-24 01:18:00.15 server Error: 17882, Severity: 18, State: 1 2003-01-24 01:18:00.15 server Error accepting connection request via Net-Library 'SSNETLIB'.

I presume that the SQL Service and/or Server Agent becomes disfunctional, then the SQL Server Service restarts itself and everything is fine again. Once the SQL Server Service comes back up I get notifications that jobs failed, between the time from the error to the restart, and then I can restart the any failed jobs just fine. Also, during that time NetIQ does not think the SQL Service is down so it does not send out any Service outage notifications.
Another tid bit of info is that this server is dedicated to SQL Server 2000 Enterprise and has 5GB of memory with AWE enabled.
I think it could possibly be a memory leak but am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I upgraded from SQL server 7.0 to 2000 not long ago, I'm running 2000 SP3, WIN 2K. Things worked fine for several weeks after the upgrade but now I'm experiencing Enterprise Manager hang in the case of one database only, when I try to view the design of a VIEW. I can open the VIEW fine and look at the results, EM only hangs when I try to view design.
I have checked another of the active DBs on my server and it is fine, no EM hang.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
thx
**I just realized that I'm running SP3, not SP4 (corrected above). Correct me if I'm wrong but does MS have a fix for this problem in SP4? I seem to recall a similar issue in the KB.
Hi -We have two SQL 2000 Servers. We have the linked server setup and wecan perform updates and inserts between the databases. But when we adda trigger and insert something into a table, the database hangs. Thereare NO processes blocking or being block in either database. This ONLYoccurs when we have one OS as Windows 2000 Server and the other OS asWindows 2003 Server. This problem does not occur when both servers areWindows 2000. Has anyone ran into anything similar to this???*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
I got an access 2002 application front end with a sql server 2005 express back end. Some of my clients are having some difficulties. After using the application for a while, some of the users are finding that the system just hangs up. It usually happens after the front end application has been running for about an hour (sometimes sooner and sometimes later). There are perhaps 1 to 5 concurrent users and I have checked to see if there are any firewalls stalling it (I think I check all of them)- Is there any way that SQL Server 2005 express could be caused to just stall- This even occurs with the odd laptop. All the appropriate protocols are enabled as well. These databses are not very large.
I am experiencing extremely slow behavior (no activity for > 30 mins) during a SS 2005 Dev Edition install on XP SP2 on various steps during the SQL Server Database Services step - e.g. during "Setting File Security". This is very annoying.
I've found many postings on this issue indicating that OS calls in this part of the install (e.g. LookupAccountName()) are network speed dependent.
Does Microsoft have any plans to rework this part of the install to rid the need of these calls? I really wish the install would be possible without these calls - it's driving me crazy monitoring this for hours. We've got to roll SS2005 out to a couple hundred developers eventually and this isn't going to cut it.
