Replication in SQL2K required a common file share between publisher and subsriber.
Our security policy will not allow our DB servers to communicate via net bios across the firewall.
Can SQL2K5 perform replication using the normal database communication ports (1433 or 2433)?
When restoring a database where the data file(s) are located under a mount point, seems to be a problem with reporting free space available.
DB Size - Say 30GB (25 Data, 5 Log)
E: Drive 20GB with 15GB Free
Restoring database file to
E:SQLMountPoint
- This points to separate disk with more than enough free space
SQL prevents the restore by stating there is not enough free space.
A long work around is
assign a drive letter to the large disk
Restore database using temp drive letter - F:SQLDATAMyDB_Data.mdf
Update sysfiles - changing drive & path - E:SQLMountPointSQLDATAMyDB_Data.mdf
Stop & restart database...
Is there a better way???
Wishlist - Restore only warns about free space - but allows continue...

Dear all,
I was trying to create filegroup and files on Mount Point, e.g. C:MOUNTFG1D1
If I try this:
.......
FILENAME = 'C:MOUNTFG1D1FG1F1.ndf',
It doesn't work, no matter what ACL I set on C:, C:MOUNT, or C:MOUNTFG1D1
But if I do this:
......
FILENAME = 'C:MOUNTFG1D1DATAFG1F1.ndf',
It will work, no need to set any ACL at all.
Any ideas?

I've a fresh installation of SQL Server 2014 Enterprise on Windows Server 2012R2. I've setup de Windows Server Failover Cluster and the validation test has been successfully passed. I use mountpoint so I've disk M: that is the host drive for mounted volume m:Isql2014A that is the base folder for mounted volume
On that folder I've 5 mountpoint:
1) m:isql2014a empdbdata
2) m:isql2014a empdblog
3) m:isql2014auserdata
4) m:isql2014auserlog
5) m:isql2014auserlog
into these 5 mountpoint I've placed the SQL Server files.
After the installation of the first FCI I've re-run the cluster validation wizard and again it has passed successfully. When I try to failover the instance from one node to the other I have 2 problem:
1) every time I do failover, some disks fail to come online for a while and then succeed :
Cluster resource 'CLD - IstA - TempDB Data' of type 'Physical Disk' in clustered role 'SQL Server (ISQL2014A)' failed. The error code was '0xaa' ('The requested resource is in use.').
2) sometimes the SQL Server service fails to start, in the error log I see that the master database is not accessible. The master database in into the m:isql2014abinbackup.
Im backing up to a network directory thats actually a mount point on a different server.My backup was slower than usual so i opened up perfmon to have a look.
When selecting the mount point from the Logical Disks section in perfmon i can see that writes/sec & write bytes/sec both show zero for a long period of time, even though the backup percent complete is increasing.Then all of a sudden the writes to the network share jump massively.
Is there some caching mechanism for backups in sql where during a backup data is only flushed to the disk periodically during backup?
Hello,
I have got a project where I am asked to utilize SharePoint features as much as possible. This project is earlier developed in .Net using Sharepoint Object Model. But now .Net should be eliminated as much as possible.
The requirements are :
Display a list of projects for the logged in user (windows logged in user). The list should have search criteria: project name, customer, project manager, project period.
On click of a project in the list, project details should be displayed Details like customer, team, start date, highlights, news. On click of a team member's name, Details of the team member (Name, office location, project joining, releaving dates, photo ) should be displayed.
To do this in Sharepoint my major hurdle is to display project list for windows logged in user. How do I do this in Sharepoint???
Expecting ideas/workarounds from all... Please be kind enough for that.
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there SQLTEAM
We have just installed MSSQL 2000 / Project Server / Share-Point.
We've managed to publish a project plan to Project Server.
This project plan is now visible in Project Web Access.
Can someone point me in the right direction, I'm looking for all the data that is stored in SQL for example Projects / Tasks / resourses.
Is there a DATABASE DAIGRAM for project server?
I am trying to deploy the report into share point server through Visual Studio by using the [URL]..... But I am getting errors like [URL] .... could not be found.
I configured the the URL credentials like :

How can I deploy the reports in Sharepoint server to view the reports in online.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where I have created a report using Power Pivot data Model Manage and linked to a SQL View using external sources from SQL Server. Once the View was linked from SQL server, I created the report in Power View from Inserted --> Power View. Since the business user requested the same data to be replicated in the excel worksheet in the form of excel, I created a version of excel report by selecting Data tab--> From other sources-->SQL Server --> connected to View (Same view that I connected in Power Pivot Data model for Power View report).
Once I created all the reports in my local excel and proceeded to upload in Office 365 share point. I followed the below steps:
1. Create a data source using the admin power bi website
using the connection string..Excel sheet Data tab --> Properties --> Connection String
2. Once the Data Source was created, Uploaded the excel report to the Power BI website.
3. Scheduled for the daily refresh updates.
Expected result:Since the connection set up was all successful and no issues with the refresh schedules, I was expecting to see my reports in both Worksheet reports in excel version and Power View reports to be refreshed on a daily basis. And daily transactions to appear on the reports on both Power view and excel worksheet reports.
Actual Result:I now only see the data refreshed in Power view reports and not the reports linked through Data--> sql server--> view ( i.e., excel worksheet reports). What surprises to me eve more is my refresh schedule was always successful. I do not see the refresh failed message.
I wanted both the power view and excel worksheet reports to get refreshed on a daily basis.
I want to use the excel sheets located on a share point site as source, for this i downloaded the adapter from the following link URL....I got the connection manager to work, but when coming to load the excel files to the destination location its not doing what is intended. For example i want the destination location my local drive for the excel files, how can i do that which destination should i use?

I installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on my Laptop for use with IIS 7.0; Everything was working fine untill I opened the Report Server Site with WVD 2008, it asked me to Modify the web.config for debugging. After doing that the Report Server Site started showing an error page saying there was a rsInternal error. I tried fixing the Web.config by hand but it dident work, so I tried completly reinstalling the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. It reinstalled perfectly excluding the Report Server. When it came time to install the Report Server; I got the error message.
The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Setting reporting service and share point exclusion path. The error is: Fatal error during installation.

We have a Customized share point application with Very minimal data usage and we have used only 5 to 6 lists and libraries only in the share point.
Configuration is
Clients -- fire wall --- Load Balancer ---- WF1 and WF2 --- SQL DB
ROUTING IS VIA FIRE WALL.
SUDDENLY THE SITE GOT DEAD SLOW AND UNABLE TO TRACE THE PROBLEM AS EVERY THING LOOKS FINE.
Checked with the firewall Team and they stated its fine from their end & even we have verified the counters, CPU, Memory & Page life expectancy, buffer counters all looks good and even we do not have huge data in the database. We have only 50 concurrent users are working...
I got this error message during SQL Server Express install with no error code on Server 2003 SP1. I'm installing on an older development machine and although I do have a very large log file somewhere I wanted to post before I even dug into it. I noticed in IIS under my Webs that the MSSQLExpress webs were there at first but when I clicked on them to get any info or Properties... they dissapeared. So they were almost installed but they no longer exist. Also I do not have a SQL Service Manager icon down near the clock.
I almost took a step to fix this. After reading a few posts about similar problems I thought maybe this happened because the Default Web Sites IP # was not set to (All Unassigned). I was going to try a repair install from Add/Remove Programs but the temporary setup files are already gone. I really dont want to uninstall all 5 SQL components from Add/Remove Programs and start from scratch.
As good security practice we usually remove the Default Web or as in this development servers case we changed the IP from (All Unassigned) to an IP that is only accessible from certain machines on the internal network. I obviously should have read more pre setup guides. Anyway how can I fix this without reinstalling everything?
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!

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello all,
First off, I appreciate the time that those of you reading and responding to this request are offering. My quesiton is a theoretical and hopefully simple one, and yet I have been unable to find an answer to it on other searches or sources.
Here's the situation. I am working with SQL Server 2005 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have a series of databases, all of which are in Full recovery mode, using a backup device for the full database backups and a separate device for the log backups. The full backups are run every four days during non-business hours. The log backups are run every half hour.
Last week, one of my coworkers found that some rarely-used data was unavailable, and wanted to restore a database to a point in time where the data was available. He told me that point in time was some time back in November.
To accomplish this, I restored the database (in a separate database, as to not overwrite my production database) using the Point in Time Recovery option. I selected November from the "To a point in time" window (I should note that this window is always grey, never white like most active windows, it seems), and the full database backup and the subsequent logs all became available in the "Select the backup sets to restore" window.
I then tried a bevy of different options from the "Options" screen. However, every restore succeeds (ie: it doesn't error out), but seems to be bringing the database back to a current point in time. It's never actually going back to the point in time I specify.
My questions are as follows:
a) Is it possible to do a point in time recovery to a point in time BEFORE the last full database backup?
b) If so, what options would you recommend I use? (ie: "Overwrite the existing database", restore with recovery, etc etc).
I again appreciate any and all advice I receive, and I look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone on this topic. Thank you.

I know how to create mount point in windows 20003 cluster, I am not sure how
to set it up with SQL 2005 running on the cluster.
Does sql need to be dependant on any of the disks? I have tried looking for
a guide, but cannot find.
current setup active active cluster running. I need to add san space which
will hold the databases. The san will be carved up into drive letters. each
drive letter will hold 3 mount points.
ie.
node 1
J:-2 mount point
k:2 mount point
l:2 mount point
node 2-
r:-2 mount point
s:2 mount point
t:2 mount point
each node would be able to own the disk if the other node failed over.
any help is appreciate. I have tried books online etc.. cannot find a good
step by step.;
thanks
I understand mount points help scalability in easier maintenance.
By scalability do we mean more than 26 drive letters or it means adding more space to the same mount point letter on with more ease .
Can I add more space to a mountpoint if required later on by adding hard disks .
Also if one can give some pointers to good file group configuration guidelines / storage align partitions , it will be very much helpful
Further I my server CPU has 4 cores , will having 4 filegroups help me in improving system performance.
If SAN has 2 controllers , is it preferred to run data file partition on one controller and log file partition on another.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,

Hello,
To implement the new SQL 2005, I plan to make the environment easy to manage. The environment should be simple to document and be automated via scripts. Therefore I plan to use mount points as described below.
On a typical SQL server with multiple drives like C, D, E, F, G, H. Where each drive will have various folders to hold SQL code, data files, transaction log files, tempdb files, snapshot files, and other types of files. This typical environment is not pretty and is hard to write scripts for.
So I plan to standardize on one standard directory structure via volume mount point. On all new SQL 2005 servers, we should see drive E as the one and only SQL Server directory. Other drives will be mounted to drive E as shown.
E:
SQLSERVER local folder -sql code for each db instance
SQLSHARED local folder -sql shared tools for all db instances
SQLTLOG1 Drive H -db transaction log
SQLSNAP1 Drive F -db snapshot files
SQLTEMPDB1 Drive H -tempdb main data file
SQLWORK Drive D - DBA work area
SQLDATA1 Drive G -db data files
SQLDATA2 Future Drive -if SQLDATA1 is too large for any direct attached drive, or to get more I/O throughput.
With this implementation, I can easily write scripts to manage the environment. Also if any mounted volume is out of space, we can swap the based drive without doing any change to database configuration. We can also switch from direct attached drive to SAN in the future.
Do you think mount point is safe to use with SQL 2005? I know it is supported.
Do you have a standard directory structure for your environment? How do you do it?
Thanks,
KTMD
Does sql server 2012 mount points support FileStream feature?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running SQL Server 2005 on a Server 2003 machine serving both our home network as well as a remote site through a point-to-point T1. While file transfer speeds are up to par, the remote site's interaction with SQL Server (Point of sale system) is very slow. After testing I am certain that it has nothing to do with the actual physical machine in place neither is it an issue with the program itself since speeds are as they are supposed to be over the home network lan. It seems that there might be a packet size issue or something of the sort. Has anyone dealt with this before or have any thoughts?
Thanks,

In SQL2K EM you can right click a DB, and backup. Finally there is a option to schedule, which will create a job.
Is this option has been removed from SQL2K5?
