Database Maintenance Job Fails
Apr 21, 2003
I have several Maintenance jobs that keep failing. They
are , Integrity Checks, Index rebuild, and Update
statistics. I keep getting a similar error on all three. I
have pasted it below. None of my other SQL 2000 servers
have any problems. I have tried changing the database
options in question. The error I keep getting is as
follows:
Microsoft (R) SQLMaint Utility (Unicode), Version Logged

I have a maintenance plan step to perform transaction log backups. There are a few databases that are offline. The backup seems to fail because it tries to backup the offline databases. The backup step is by itself as one of three subplans, although it also fails when it is the only step in a plan with only one subplan.
I have another server that is only on SP1 and it does not have problems handling the offline databases.
Is this an issue with SP2(9.0.3054)?

We have a new database with cdc enabled on all of its tables. This causes the index maintenance task to fail with following message:
"Executing the query "EXEC DBName.dbo.IndexDefrag_sp" failed with the following error:  "The unique index 'PK_TableName' on source table '[dbo].[TableName]' is used by Change Data Capture.  To alter or drop the index, you must first disable Change Data Capture on the table.  The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly" We would like to run the index maintenance without losing the cdc data. We plan on installing SP2 on SQL Server 2008 R2 soon, would that solve the issue? Disabling the cdc prior to index maintenance and then re-enabling back upon completion; would delete the data as I found in most discussions, but we would like to retain it.Â

Created a maintenance plan to backup my sharepoint databases.
When I execute it the following error occurs:
Execution failed. See the maintenance plan and SQL Server Agent job history logs for details:
Additional Information:
Job 'SharePointBackUp.Backup_SharePoint faild. (SqlManagerUI)
- Execute maintenance plan. SharePointBackUP (Error)
Messages

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

When checking the Maintenance PlansharePointBackUP log it is empty!
Under Job History I thinks this:

line 1? Is that line one of the T-SQL statement? Because if that's the case then it's not because I copied and pasted the line in to a query and it executed without error.
Under SQL Agent there are no entries!
So what bloody log am I suppose to be checking?! This is very frustrating.
I then copied and pasted every sql statement in to a query and THEY all ran just fine.
What's going wrong here, and how can I correct it?

Hi there,Used the wizard to create a maintenance plan for a db. But it fails most ofthe time. I checked the log-files.At 1.00 AM, it runs the "Optimizations" job for 6-9 seconds. It succeedsalways.At 1.05 AM, for 1 second, it runs "integrity check", but most of the time itfails, and says that it couldn't switch to single-user because other usersare using the database.And when "integrity check" fails the "backup" job won't run at 1.10 AM. Whenit DOES run it takes 2 seconds.How do I find out who is using the database ? How do I put a sp_who (orsimilar) in the "integrity check" job ?I got this tip:----------Assuming you have SQL2000, then you can use something like this tokick out all the users:ALTER DATABASE foo SET RESTRICTED_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATEIf you want to know who is using the database, then this is one way:select suser_sname(sid)from master..sysprocesseswhere dbid = db_id('foo')---------But how do I actually do it ? How do I edit a maintenance plan ?thx/jim

I am running an overnight job for table Maintenance - this job execs a SP. It has been working okay for a while and is suddenly failing (last two weeks) with Error 515 cannot insert nulls into column. I realise that it is possible that a change has been made but cannot for the life of me ascertain what it is. I have checked server config, database properties and user options and it all appears to be the same as a server that is running this job okay. Please help!!

I created a maintenance plan to back up a database. It fails and I get the follow error in the log file.
Microsoft (R) SQLMaint Utility (Unicode), Version [Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 4064: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
What user is it referring to? What user does a Maintenance plan use to login as? SA on the server has full access to all databases. SA’s default database is master and I can read and write to it with the enterprise manager and query analyzer.
All replies appreciated

Hi,
I'm running SQL 2005 SP2 and having a problem with a Database Maintenance task created in SSMS doing transaction log backups of all user databases.
When I look at dbo.sysmaintplan_logdetail I see the message:
Database 'Database1' will not be backed up because it does not have its recovery model set to Full or BulkLogged.
Great - that's what we want! Skip the SIMPLE recovery mode databases. However, the next entry is the following error message:
Executing the query "BACKUP LOG [Database1] TO DISK = N'D:\MSSQL$Windows\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Backup\Database1\Database1_backup_200707231600.trn' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'Database1_backup_20070723160023', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 " failed with the following error: "The statement BACKUP LOG is not allowed while the recovery model is SIMPLE. Use BACKUP DATABASE or change the recovery model using ALTER DATABASE. BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Which says to me it is trying to backup the same database(s) it just said it was skipping!
What's going on? I see that there is a fix to a similar error message with the cumulative update KB936305 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936305) for maintenance cleanup tasks.
Does anybody else have such a problem?

Hello,
On SQL 2005 with mixed authentication, I am simply trying to create a maintenance plan to backup one single database. When I get to the end of the wizard, the creation process fails with this message:
Create maintenance plan failed().
I installed SQL 2005 using my domain account and the services are running under my account credentials. I am a domain and local admin.
Any ideas?

I created a user db integrity maintenance task. The created job runs once a week. It fails. How do you tell at what point is fails? The history log is not specific about where things go off the rails.
The job errors as follows -

W2k3SP2 running SQL2k5SP2 in mixed mode. Trying to run a daily maintenance plan with a domain admin service account [domainsqlsvc]. This account is having login failure when I try to run the maintenance job. Would like to figure out why this account cannot authenticate with SQL. I believe I have local login denied, but login as a svc and login as a batch job are both enabled in Domain Policy.
What am I missing?
TIA for your help!

Ever since upgrading SQL Server 2005 to SP2 build 3050 all my maintenance plans which begin with a Check Database Integrity Task are failing! If I remove the task from the plan they all execute properly. If I run the T-SQL equivalent manually it executes properly.
I upgraded the server to build 3054 and rebooted several times and Im still having no luck. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help with this.

Our backups by default go to a network location, but I'd like to modify our maintenance plans to backup to an alternative location if the primary location isn't available. I've setup two Backup Database Tasks where the second one runs only if the first one Fails, and if the second one runs (on first one's failure) it then sends a notification to me so I know this occurred.
The Plan is running as expected, when I simulate a bad path in the first Backup Task the second one runs and the notification is sent, but the Job shows failure. I'd like to show the job as Successful when this occurs since I'm handling the issue and notification within the Plan, but I'm unable to find out how. I've set FailParentOnFailure to False on the Plan and I've changed the MaximumErrorCount to 2 with the assumption that this would work, but neither didn't.
Also I'm running into this in both SQL 2008 and SQL 2012.

I am looking for opinions of setting up a database maintenance plan. I want to know if it is safe to trust the wizard and let it set up all of the jobs, or if it is better to write your own procedures to handle backups and maintenance as in 6.5. All sugestions and opinions are welcome. Thanks.

SQLMaint is run once a week for the following a database on SQL 6.5. The following is the information for the database when I see it through the Enterprise Manager:
Data Size 650 MB
Data Space Available 0.00
Log Size 360
Log Space Available 359.99
The following is the syntax built by the DATABASE Maintenance Wizard:
SQLMAINT.EXE -D CATS -CkDB -CkAl -CkTxtAl -CkCat -UpdSts -RebldIdx 100 -Rpt E:MSSQLLOGCATS_maint.rpt
It runs once a week and takes about 40 mins and runs successfully. Last it run was 4/11/99 at 2:00 AM
The result set I get from sp_spaceused is as follows:
database_name database_size unallocated space
CATS 1010.00 MB 273.96 MB
reserved data index_size unused
------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------
753710 KB 280360 KB 426494 KB 46856 KB
What I don’t understand is how come the data space available shows 0 in Enterprise Manager? Shouldn't SQLMAINT, which is run once a week, allow for correct information to be reported?
Could someone please explain.
Thanks

Running SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP3. The database is alsoused by Microsoft Project Server 2002 and also has OLAP views, so thedatabase is being used to view/run cubes in the Analysis Manager.What is the best way of shrinking the database size and its log file too?Is there an automatic way to do this with a maintenance plan or i haveto manually run a SQL statement periodically?What are the best practices?I have a database that the size of it is 260megs and now the log file isover 800megs...Everytime i run the following:BACKUP LOG DBName WITH TRUNCATE ONLYDBCC SHRINKDATABASE (DBName, 10, TRUNCATEONLY)When running it, i get the following 2 records returned:DbId FieldId CurrentSize MinimumSize UsedPages EstimatedPages7 1 32304 128 28152281527 2 160 128 160128I don't know what the above 2 records mean. I am also concerned if i shouldbe running that statement or not.Also concerned as to why the Windows Server 2003 (Enterprise Edition)always creates a CRITICAL error in the Application event viewer with EventIDnumber 17055, source being MSSQLSERVER and the description of the event:18278:Database log truncated: Database: DBName.If it's a critical error message, then what i am doing is bad? Am i damagingmy database?Within like 7-10 days of running the above statement, the log file becomescloseto 1 GB again! How can i find out what causes the log file to grow that big?Is it beingcaused by running some OLAP views or what? The db has about 20 usersconnected to itusing an ASP web aplication as the front-end, and MSP Professional 2002 alsoto connectto the Project Server 2002 (which uses the same database as the aboveDBName).I would appreciate any help.Thank you very much

I have been looking through the data files directory for my databases and noticed that the log (ldf) files of some of the databases are from 2GB to 4.5GB where as the data files are under 500MB. If I shrink the log files what affect does this have on the database? Should I be setting up regular shrink jobs on the log files?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi there,
We are using a database maintenance plan to backup and reindex our db's. Up until the end of last month this was working perfectly - however now it has stopped deleting the old backups (even though we have checked 'Delete files over 1 day old').
Does anyone have any ideas as to why they are now being deleted - and how we can remove them automatically - has something been corruped? Would it be a case of creating a new maintenance plan?
thanks in advance,
Matt

Database maintenance job is failing
with error about being unable to delete old backup file.
I can manually delete the file with no problem.
This occurs randomly, maybe once a week.

After looking through the archives at database maintenance steps used by others, I have decided on the following steps for each of my SQL Server 7.0 databases. I have set up a maintenance plan where they would execute in the following order for each database, if the preceding step is successful. If the preceding step fails, the job quits.
dbcc checkcatalog ('master')
dbcc checkdb ('master')
backup database master to master_dump with init, name = 'ASP Master dump'
dbcc dbreindex ('master', '', 70)
dbcc shrinkdb ('master', 10)
Now my questions...
1. The checkcatalog, checkdb, backup database, and shrinkdb commands appear in blue in SQL Server 7.0 to seemingly indicate they are commands. However, the dbreindex command is black. Does this mean that it is not recognized as a valid command? If so, why not? It is shown as a valid command in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
2. The value of 70 in the dbreindex command was the value shown in sample code in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. However, the Knowledge Base does not give any guidance on whether this is a good value or not. How should I make a decision on what value to use? The value of 10% for the shrinkdb command is also just a sample value from Microsoft. How does one know what value to choose?
If anyone thinks this is a poor selection of maintenance steps, please let me know that also.
Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to SQL 7 (and fairly new to SQL Server), can anyone help with these basic questions on database maintenance plans generated by the wizard:
(1) Scheduling - can SQLServer handle say a REORG running at the same time as a backup against the same database? This should never happen, but what will happen if say a backup is due to start before a REORG has finished? To try & simulate this 'problem' I've run REORGs and backups at the same time & have yet to encounter errors I presume SQL locking handles this OK.
(2) Database integrity checks - (a) any comments on the wisdom of checking 'repair any minor problems'? Anyone had any problems with this? (b) While integrity checks are running do they take enforce a consistent view of the data? (I think this is probably the case as my reading of books online indicates that DBCC takes shared locks for the duration)
(3) Backups - does the 'VERIFY INTEGRITY' option have any impact on the live database? (My reading of RESTORE VERIFYONLY indicates it doesn't)
Thanks....

Hello everyone,
I'm new to DB Maint Plans, so let me apologize upfront. I've taken over a system from a DBA who is no longer working here, and he set up Maint Plans for all of the existing DBs. The plans show up in the Enterprise Manager under "Management->Database Maintenance Plans" like they should, but there are also entries in the "Management->SQL Server Agent->Jobs" area. When I set up a new DB Maint Plan for a new DB, it seems to be working fine, but I don't have any corresponding entries in Jobs. Did the other DBA set these up manually? Does anyone know why he might have done this? Is it needed? The jobs and job steps look like the following:
[DBName]Full:
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_sqlmaint N'-PlanID 33C423D0-CC31-40BD-A357-7DCCAB1DC262 -WriteHistory -VrfyBackup -BkUpMedia DISK -BkUpDB "W:sqldataMSSQL$P001Backup" -DelBkUps 1WEEKS -CrBkSubDir -BkExt "BAK"'
[DBName]Maint Integrity Checks:
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_sqlmaint N'-PlanID 33C423D0-CC31-40BD-A357-7DCCAB1DC262 -WriteHistory -CkDB '
[DBName]Maint Optimizations:
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_sqlmaint N'-PlanID 33C423D0-CC31-40BD-A357-7DCCAB1DC262 -WriteHistory -RebldIdx 10 -RmUnusedSpace 50 10 '
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

Overview of my database: size - 45 GB, Full Recovery Mode, Log shipping ever 15 minutes; Full Backup nightly; Optimization and integrity checks on Sunday night.
The Database takes a transactional log every 15 minutes and ships it to our failover database. Usually these are small logs and are executed in matter of seconds.
On sunday night there is a problem. The optimization job (part of DB maintenance plan) runs for 3 hours and during this time the transactional log backup continues to runs and takes close to 4 hours of complete. When the tran log completes its close to a 30 GB file and this is causing problems with space and shipping. This also causes the failover server to be out of sync and at times we have to re setup log shipping.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get around this problem. Appreciate all help and comments.

I have in production, the database maintenance plan that runs the nightly backups. I want to restore this to a completly different server I am setting up for testing. What is the best way to restore a backup on one server (that was done using the maintenance plan) to another server? I tried just mapping a drive and then forcing a restore, however, I got some error message about an ID or something. Maybe I need to do it through query analyzer and there is an easier way to force it? thanks!

I ran the Maintenance Plan Wizard and created 2 plans, one for the system databases and one for the User databases. While running the wizard I was asked if I wanted to configure an operator to e-mail reports to.
Once that operator is selected, how can you change it without recreating the maintenance plan?
This is separate from an operator that can be configured within each job.
Thanks,
