We plan on moving our sql 2000 db's to a sql server 2005 box this week.
What's the best way to point RS to the new database machine?
I'm not extremely familiar with Reporting Services and would like to know are there any "gotchas" in doing this?
Thanks
hello everyone. i am new to the group so i aplogize if this question hasbeen answered recently...our sql db machine is too old. we bought a new server with which to replaceit. the trick is, we want to keep the name of the machine and db instancethe same.obviously, we don't plan on having two machine with the same name on thenetwork at the same time. how do we handle this?my first thought is to name the new machine with a new name (mach2),transfer over all the db's, take the old one (mach1) off of the network.rename the machine/instance to the old one (mach1).if i do this, can i drop the original instance on the new machine(mach2)-->register the new (mach1)? will my data be there?Thanks so much for any relplies!!!

Hey,
I have copied a C# express edition project from another machine and have opened the project up and changed the connection string but the project is not updating the database when I try to insert values from textboxes in forms. They seem do be getting into the dataset but not the sql datatabase.
I am getting alot of messages saying that it could not find the schema information for the dataset. Could these errors have anything to do with the project?
What else do I have to change in the project?
Thanks in advance.
I am new to MS SQL 7.0, I like to know what is the best way to move the location of a database to a new path on the same machine.
I have mostly MS SQL 7.0 sp3, only one MS SQL 6.5 with sp5.
I am moving my SQL 2000 Server from a Small Business Server to a full version of Windows 2000 Server and SQL 2000 Server. I have had no experience doing this but have backed up and restored my production databases for practice in case a of disaster situation. Is there anything special I need to do to move everything, including the system databases to a new server and not loose any of the user logons, etc.?
Thanks for any advice,
Chris
Hi,
I have a bunch of SSIS packages that were created on a 32-bit machine (OS as well as SQL Server) where they run without error. I have moved them to a machine with a 64-bit OS as well as 64-bit Enterprise SQL Server, SP2. Initially I encountered errors with the packages that contained Script Transformation tasks where I had to set PreCompile=True. This allowed me to execute the packages individually. When I try and execute them as a batch, I encounter errors on various packages. They don't seem to be consistent - sometimes the error occurs on one package, the next time it will be on a different package. Sometimes they occur pre-execute, sometimes post-execute. Here are a couple of example errors:
[OLE DB Command [1007]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Communication link failure". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ".
[Insert Destination [1177]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Communication link failure". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ".
The source database is on a different server, but the destination database is on the same server as the SSIS packages for testing purposes. Any information would be appreciated...
Thanks.

I have such problem:
After I move my integration services packege to another machine it failed. I tried to recreate connection manager, but result is the same. If I create a simple SQL task in that package and try to execute it - it fails with info:
SSIS package "Main_Package.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC00291EC at Execute SQL Task, Execute SQL Task: Failed to acquire connection "SRV-DSA3.TIA_EXTRACTS_OriginalData.sa". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
Task failed: Execute SQL Task
SSIS package "Main_Package.dtsx" finished: Success.
But when I create it(SQL task) in the new package - it works perfectly. Maybe somebody could help solving this problem.
Thanks for any information.
Books On Line makes breaking out the report server databases on to a separate machine from the report server itself sound very easy. I have tried it and it is but I can't get the report server to connect to the databases once they are on the other machine.
Everything was done by the book(s). We use SSRS only for intranet use so all inside firewall. The SQL Server 2005 services on both machines (including the RS Windows service) all run as the same domain administrator account, this account was used to log in to RS Config Tool and it was told to use this account under Windows Authentication to connect to the database server. The two machines are in the same domain, even on the same switch. The only difference is the one with report server on is Windows 2000 Server SP4 and the one to which the rs databases are moving is Windows Server 2003 SP1. The account mentioned above has sysadmin rights on both SQL Servers, as well as having all the RSExecRole rights as specified in BOL. And it has rights to logon as a service in group policy on both machines. Its password hasn't been changed.
The RS Config Tool completed fine and reported no errors.
But when you try to connect to the report server you get the error:
"The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. The logon failed. (rsReportServerDatabaseLogonFailed)" The log shows that a privilege required by the client is missing but doesn't specify what! I thought this was all taken care of when the RS Config Tool told it which account to connect with.
This is driving me daft. It should be so easy!! Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? Nothing says I need to do anything with the encryption key when I am keeping the report server itself exactly as it was and just moving the catalog - or have I missed something here?
Grateful for any ideas.

Hi everybody,
I moved my packages to the new machine, and have problem with parent variables.
When child package tries to get parent variable value I get an error:
Information: 0x40016042 at LoopPackage: The package is attempting to configure from the parent variable "MAIN_SesId".
Warning: 0x80012028 at LoopPackage: Process configuration failed to set the destination at the package path of "Package.Variables[User::MAIN_SesId].Properties[Value]". This occurs when attempting to set the destination property or variable fails. Check the destination property or variable.
Thanks, for any information.
I've created a web application with Visual Studio 2003. Uploading my application to the server is easy enough. I use the Copy Project utility from the Project selection on the menu bar.
I'm using a remote server-- and hosting account that supports ASP.NET and ms SQL. But now I want to copy my ms SQL database and can't find any way to copy my DB to the server.
What do the best way to to this?

What is the best way to move the databases to a new hard drive connected to the system? We added a new larger hard drive and I would like to move just the databases to the new hard drive.

Hi,
Iam trying to move the database from one server to the other server.I know it can be done in the following 3 ways i.e
Copy .mdf and .ldf files to the other server and attach them.
or
restore the databses from the backups
or
use data transformation services.
Now let me know which is the fastest way of doing this.
and also what are advantages and disadvantages of above methods if possible.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I move SQL databases quite often from one server to another. What is the most efficient way to do this? I normally perform a log dump then a
database dump and then copy the backup DAT file over to the new server and then perform a restore. This is OK except that the User accounts
permissions usually get messed up in the process and I have to redo them. It's OK for a few user accounts but some databases I work with have
many user accounts. The version of MS SQL I use is 6.5 (sp4). Thanks in advance. JLS
hi i am trying to move my databases from one drive to another..sometimes could be into different network. i know how to do this through management studio. but how easy it could be doing it from query analyzer or may be using batch file. if you have experience please drop some words.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHello all. I am a baby new database administrator who hasnt finished all the courses yet. I have my Administration exam but not the Implementation yet. I got hired anyways! woo hoo.. Anyways, my question is this. I have a SQL Server 7.0 machine and its databases. I have been asked to move it all over to a new, skookum fast machine with access to 3.6 Terabytes of storage. I have been researching the best way to do this but am not sure. First there is detaching and reattaching the databases. I dont like this one cuz when I have done some practice ones it completely erases the databases of the original machine. The other way I was considering was using DTS. This is easy to use with the DTS wizard but the transaction logs of the databases are not transferred. What would be your advice on this move?? I need to make a this a reasonably seemless move. Help!!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a web app that has been regulated to a disconnected PC. It's runing IIS and 2.0 with sql server express, but no connectivity. I have changes that are made to some of the data in the db (data, bot schema). There is one particular table that I cannot overwrite, and must extract the data.
What methods are available to do this swap of data between databases? I was thinking of doing something like this:
Track last date that remote db was updated. Upload updated database into data directory, loop through records for all affected tables, any date that was past logged date then update the record if it exists or insert new record, and then loop through the remote db and delete this records that dont exist in the updated db.
This seems intensive and slow - especially as the tables get bigger but I can't think of another solution that can be done by a user using sometime of web interface.
I'd like to hear the "best practices" for moving databases from one server to another with minimal impact (minimum downtime) to users. The database is about 1GB, but growing at an average rate of 5MB/day.
Only 2 databases on that source server are to be moved. There are other databases on that server that shouldn't be affected as much as possible.
Any good suggestions?
I'm sorry, but I'm a complete newbie to SQL Server although I'm very familiar with Exchange/NT stuff. Got thrown this responsibility lately :(
We are going to be moving over about 29 databases from one server to another
(space issues). The new database will then be renamed to the old server name.
The database sizes range from 100mb to 29gig.
I was planning on doing a dump/restore which will take over 3 hours to dump and
12-15 hours to restore.
Our NTAdmin suggested shutting down the SQL Servers and just copying over the
data/log files to the new box and then bringing up the new server.
Had anyone ever tried this?
What are the effects on files over 22gig?
Should I also copy over the model/msdb/master database files?
What other potential problems should I be aware of?
My fear is that I start copying them over, run into a problem half way through
and then
have to revert back to the dump/restore method.
Any help would be appreciated, we are scheduled to do the move this weekend.
Thanks again

how can I easily move my whole SQL Server 7 installation to another different machine as the current one is going down for maintenance during one week?
Thanks.
I was hoping to get some input on the best approach for the following situation:
I have been tasked with moving several SQL server databases from one SQL server to another to free up the hardware on the first one for another purpose. The SQL server is version 6.5 and has service pack 5 on it.
I have installed SQL server on the server where the data is going to end up with the same code page and sort order as the current server.
For my next step I was going to create devices for the databases on the new server, then add the databases to the devices. I was going to use the "Create database for Load" statement. Then I was going to load a transaction dump from each database on the old server into the new database on the new server. Is there anything else I will need to do? Will I have to do anything with the master database or is it sufficient to do what I have stated above?
Can anyone direct me to a good technet article or white paper on this process? I did find a short page in SQL books on line which helped a bit.
Thanks in advance,
CK.

Hi Experts, I need an advice on this documentation. What are the things i missed. Can you please help me.1.Make a full backup of all databases from server 1 (for our safety)
2.Copy all logins , Jobs , DTS packages, folders from server 1 to server 2
3.Copy any folders or files from the server 1 to the new server 2 that will be accessed by Jobs, DTS packages, stored procedures etc.
4.Change all databases to Single user mode so no one can access the server( Downtime)
5.Detach all databases from server1 ( There will be downtime)
6.Stop the SQL Server, SQL Agent Services on server 1
7.Attach all databases to server 2 since both servers are in the same Datacenter.
8.Connect to the server 2, using Enterprise Manager and make sure all the databases are displayed and that there is no suspect databases. Scan through the SQL Server error logs, SQL Agent error logs, and System and Application event logs, to make sure there are no errors. If we find any errors, fix them before you proceed any further.
9.Once we are happy with the new server’s server 2 state, shutdown the SQL Server, SQL Agent and MS Search services.
10. Rename the alias on server 1
11.Rename the alias on server 2 so all the applications will point towards it and reboot the server.
12.Start the SQL Server, SQL Agent and MS Search services on server 2.
13. After we have completed these steps, server 2 is ready to go.
Hi all,I am pretty new to dB programming and a have a few questions which I willput in separate threads. I have only coded as a hobby and some limited workprojects. I have recently been asked if I could help implement a simple helpdesk for work. This has only been running for a few weeks and the data iscurrently being stored in excel (I know...I know!! :-)I have installed a copy of MSDE on my development machine and plan on doingthe same on my office 'server'....in fact it may well already be on there. Ialso have another testbed to act as the client.My first question (in no particular order) is how to move the sql db fromthe development machine to the server? I don't have any sql/db tools otherthan anything that is included with MSDE (which I don't think is much).I will be posting other Q's for any experts out there!Thanks in advance.Phil

Having a bit of an issue 'moving' a database. I've only just installed SQL Server 2005 on a Development/Test box so I can learn and mess around with it without doing any serious damage to anything important.
One of the first things I've done is install the AdventureWorks database and, having installed it, decided I would move the files to their optimum locations. However having detached the database I can't seem to move or copy the .mdf or .ldf files - something still seems to have its tentacles around them - 'Access denied' error. Even rebooting the server doesn't work. So I've had to delete then re-attach the database. The question then is does Detach serve any useful purpose? Or am am doing something wrong? With SS2000 I could detach a database, relocate the physical files and re-attach in seconds. The same procedure with SS2005 has taken me an hour!

Followed the steps in Books Online to move the Reporting Services databases from one server to another. After resetting all the keys and configurations, the site comes up. However, all my shared datasources have lost their connection strings, and have reverted to requesting login information. Is this how it is supposed to work? If not, how do I fix this easily (as I have about 25 data sources)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have to periodically migrate a copy of database on a production web server down to a web server used by some developers. The names of the databases are different, as are the underlying file names and locations. I use Management Studio to do this. we're running 2008 R2.
I make a backup on the production server, then move the file to the developer server. On that server, I take the db offline, then restore the file into the proper database. Before I start the restore I change the files to match the default names for the target database. Then I do the restore.
The main practical problem I have is that the security ends of breaking for some logins, but not for others, and I don't know why. I use the same login names for users on the source and destination machines, but sometimes they don't come through cleanly, and I have to recreate them. It's always the same users that break. I can fix them, but I'd like to understand why some users come across while others don't.Also, what's the best way to move a db from one engine to another, with a name change along the way? And how do you do it if you have different physical environments and different paths for the actual underlying files between the two systems?
Hello,
Does anyone know how to prevent a certain machine from accessing SQL server? We have users who use a generic username and password (i.e. one login for 15 users) and I need to prevent a certain machine (in a high risk location) from hitting my databases. Any ideas
Thanks for your time and help

Hi,
I have package on a single server. This packages extracts Data from System A and loads System B, database C. What I'd like to do is use configurations to have this one package loads System B, database C and D.
When a I create two configurations (one pointing at database C and one pointing at database D) and run the package only the last configuration pointing at database D gets loaded.
Anyone know how to get around this and use configurations to load both database C and D?
Thanks,
Mark
