How To Copy An OLAP Database Between Servers?

Feb 10, 2008



I have a SSIS package which is used to update the OLAP database daily. It includes various processes from the initial dropping of the raw data source tables, rebuilding it, dropping of the OLAP datamart tables (dimension tables and fact tables), re-building it, updating the OLAP dimensions and finally updating the OLAP cubes. I wrote a series of the Sql scripts to perform the tasks except the updating of the OLAP dimensions and cubes, and assigned them to the SSIS package. Everything is working great and it was scheduled with the sql agent to execute at the early hour everyday. We have a single server enviroment for the "Production/Processing" i.e. Database engine, SSIS, SSAS, SSRS are all installed on a single server. By the way we are using Sql 2005.

Recently we split the "Production/Processing" enviroment into two seperated servers. We purchase another server "Production" server and use the existing server as the "Processing" server. I want to copy the success updated OLAP database from the current server "Processing" server to the new "Production" server. How to copy an OLAP database between servers?

Idealy, I believe that the following 5 processes should be assigned after the completion of the OLAP cubes updated at the "Processing" server:


Stop the SSAS at the "Production" server.........I know how to do this in SSIS

Re-name the existing OLAP database at the "Production" server.......not sure how to do this

Copy the newly updated OLAP database from "Processing" server to the "Production" server. If the copy process is succeed, drop the OLAP database that has just been re-named at the "Production" server. If the copy process is failed, re-named the OLAP database that has just been re-named back to the original name.....not sure how to do this. Should it be a Sql script?

Start the SSAS at the "Production" server........I know how to do this in SSIS
Thanks

Copy An Olap Database To A Remote Server Using SSIS

May 2, 2008

How to add a task to copy an OLAP database to a remote Sql server in control flow using SSIS 2005? This OLAP database is existed in the remote server and I just want to replace the existing one with the one just been updated in the SSIS package and the last task in the package is to copy the updated OLAP database and replace the one at the remote server. Hopfully during the copy and paste process it will not screw up the reports that are using the OLAP cubes at the remote server as the report data source. Thanks.

How To Copy All Jobs Between Sql Servers

Nov 14, 2000

hi, I do have over 30 scheduled jobs in one sql server in which I want to have the same jobs in another sql server. What is the best way to copy those jobs?

I thought of backing up the msdb from one sql server then restoring msdb into another sql server..... someone advice me NOT to do so due to potential compatibility problems that he did not explicitly state.

I am hoping to get the answer here.

Thanks

How To Copy Reports To Different Servers

Jun 26, 2007

Hi,



Once a report is deployed to a specific server (server A), is there a way to "copy" it to a different server (servers B, C), without having to actually deploy it server by server?



In my case, I am trying to have the developers deploy the reports on the development server first (server A), and then manually or automatically copy them to a Preview server (server B), and later to a production server (server C). I cannot grant the developers full permissions on the production server, so a "copy" is what I'm thinking about....



Thanks in advance for any ideas.



Edwin.

Using Agent To Copy Files Between Servers

Aug 10, 1999

I connect to remote servers using PPTP connection. There are 4 web servers and 1 production server on the other side of the firewall. From my staging server, I am supposed to archive the NT event logs(Application and system) for each of the servers.

To solve this problem, I have mapped the C drives of each of the remote servers to my local staging server. I then created a batch file, webevnt.bat containing code,

G:
Cd winnt
Cd system32
Cd config
Copy sysevent.evt c:eventarcweb01sysevent.evt
Copy appevent.evt c:eventarcweb01appevent.evt

Then I used SQL Agent to create a job of type, Operating system command(cmdexec) and typed the following command :

C:atch_~1eventl~1webevnt.bat

When I run the command, C:atch_~1eventl~1webevnt.bat through the command prompt, the files are copied with the correct modified date.
The output is,
1 file(s) copied
1 file(s) copied
But, when I use SQL Agent and start the job containing the same command, the job runs successfully but, the files have a wrong modified date. Moreover, when I view the job history for this job, it says, specified drive not found. 1 file(s) copied. 1 file(s) copied.

Please let me know why this happens.

Thank you.

Copy Data And Objects Between SQL Servers

Mar 23, 2006

I have recently moved from a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to a SQL Server
2005.


In the good old Enterprise Manager, when I imported a table from a SQL
server to another, I could choose "Copy objects and data between SQL
Server
databases". When choosen, all primary keys, and default values was
copied.


My question is:
Is it possible to do the same in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
with
SQL Server 2005? And how do I do it?


I have tried using the "SELECT * INTO NewTable FROM OldTable"
statement, but
it just drops all information about primary keys and default values.


Best Regards

Use SSIS To Copy Files Between Servers?

Apr 27, 2006

This is a question of whether or not to use SSIS to solve a problem.

I need to copy SQL Server database backup files from a server in the DMZ to a fileserver inside the firewall. The SQL Server is not allowed to write it's backup files directly to the fileserver, so they are written to local disk. A connection can be made from inside the firewall to the SQL Server to copy the files off.

So, I'm considering SSIS for the job. Is it possible to use SSIS to perform the file copies from one remote server to another? If so, is the FTP task required, or can File System tasks be used?

An alternative would be Windows scripting, xcopy, robocopy, etc. but I like the features of SSIS and would like to take advantage of it's flow control, error handling, database scheduling, etc.

Any tips, sample code, etc. would be appreciated.

Thanks,

david

The Remote Copy Of Database X Has Not Been Rolled Forward To A Point In Time That Is Encompassed In The Local Copy

May 11, 2006

Hi,

I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:


alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go


The error message is:

The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.

I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)

1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1

2. backup database log

3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2

4. restore db with norecovery

5. restore log with norecovery

6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2

CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]

STATE=STARTED

AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)

FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)

7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2

:connect SQL2

alter database DBmirrorTest

Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';

go

8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1

:connect SQL1

alter database DBmirrorTest

Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';

go

This is where I got the error.

The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy



Thanks for any help,

KT

OLAP Database Access Problem

Jan 27, 2006

I have tried to use Excel to access a database created through ODBC (connected to dataware house) on the OLAP server (SQL 2000)but failed. However I was able to use Excel to access the Food Mart 2000 database and cubes on the same server. If I use SQL AS Manager, then I can access both databases. Can someone explain why this happens? Since I am not a DBA or developer, I really appreciate someone can help me with this. BTW, SP3 for AS has been applied.

Does SSIS Database Copy Overwrite Existing User Permission To That Database?

Sep 24, 2007

Hi guys,

I've been assigned the task of setting up access to our SQL Server 2005 box. A consultant developing for us has accessing to 2 databases and I've set this up fine. It appears however that one of these databases is re-copied over to the server every night to keep data reasonably current.

I'm not interesting in changing this method as I'm not the maintainer (as yet).

Basically I would like to know if I've setup access to this database (it works fine), when the database is updated (with an SSIS package) the account seems to get deleted. Do the original permissions from the source database overwrite those of its destination?

Cheers
