I'm on SSMS under Management --> Maintenance Plans --> (my transaction log backup plan)
I right click and choose "View History" at which point the log file viewer window opens and it just sits there... with the progress circle runnning just saying "Initialize Log #2..."
After roughly 5 to 10 minutes it returns results.
Any suggestions on how I should resolve this or what to trouble shoot?
Thank you.
Hi All,
I have this very big text file (2.5 GB - which of course I am not able to open). This resides on a server which has SQL 2005.
I have created a linked server for this text file on my SQL database, and when I try to query the table, I get an error:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "txtsrv".
Why am I getting this error? When I make a dummy linked server on my local machine and test the steps it all works OK. but when I go to this server where the file and it's SQL instance is lying, I get this error. Please can someone provide me with some help on this?
Many thanks,
~S
P.S. Here is how I created the linked server (I also have the Schema.ini lying under the same folder):
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver txtsrv, 'Jet 4.0',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'C:SSAnalysis',
NULL,
'Text'
GO
I am encountering a weird issue with SSIS.
I have a very simple SSIS package that executes a .bat file. Here's
the
actual file it executes:
@Echo Off
c:
F:
cd ReportingServicesScripts
rs -i NoteBlankSnapshots.rss -S http://10.90.160.13/ReportServerTest
EXIT
The .bat file executes a Reporting Services .rss script using the
rs.exe
utility. When I run the command from the http://10.90.160.13/ReportServerTest
EXIT
The .bat file executes a Reporting Services .rss script using the
rs.exe
utility. When I run the command from the command prompt, it runs just
fine.
When I execute the .bat file manually, it runs and completes. When I
execute
the actual package, it also completes. But when I schedule the package
as a
job, it just hangs...it never finishes.
The owner of the job is an administrator in SQL Server. I have the
SQL
Server Agent configured to interact with the desktop - although
my .bat file
requires no input from the user.
I've created other jobs that just execute plain old SQL using the
same
owneer and these jobs complete just fine.
What am I missing?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!!

I have an SSIS package that inserts website URLs from a SQLServer table into a variable used by an HTTP Connection Manager, then downloads the data files from those URLs using a ForEach Loop and a Script Task. Works beautifully when a data file is found at the URL, but hangs if no data file is found. I've set the Timeout property on the HTTP Connection Manager to 30 seconds, but doesn't work. how to first check if a data file exists, of if the request returns nothing, or how to trap this situation in a try-catch?
Here is the VB code I'm using in the Script Task:
Public Sub Main()
Try

View 3 Replies View RelatedHI There
I have installed Reportin Services 2005 , X64. I selected install but do not configure.
Afterwards i applied Service Pack 1 and ran all the hotfixes for sql components as per KB 918222.
The i launch the RS configuration manager i succesffuly setup Report Server/Manager Virtual DIrectory and servcie identity.
I then setup the database, i create a new database to the local 2005 instance i just installed with RS, the databse is created successfully.
Basically i have green ticks all the way, however Initialize is greyed out i cannot take the option to initialize the server ???
When i try to restart the RS service it says that the service failed to repond in a timely fashion, when i check the even log the servcie only started 10 minutes later, and there are no errors ?
WHen i go back to RS config manager , initialize is till greyed out , this is the last step i ahve to do but i cannot take the option ???
PLEASE HELP, Thanx
Hence you have a database which huge tables and a transactional replication (push subscriptions).
Now my question:
1. if I have to initialize a snapshot but I would like to do it without the snapshot agent, what methods are available?
2. Usually the distribution agent will request an initialize snapshot. How can I tell him, that I would like to use an alternative method and that the distribution agent should NOT request a snapshot?
3. Any suggestions about a good practive for materializing huge and big tables wihtout using the disitrbution agent (e.g. "switch off" replication, bcp table out of the primary site and bcp it into the target site, "start" distribution agent so that it doesn't request a snapshot).

I have a DTS package that is running under SQL 2005 (64-bit Itanium). It has a data driven query in it and I receive the following error:
ActiveX Scripting Transform 'DTSTransformation__1' was not able to initialize the script execution engine
I don't want to have to re-register any DLLs if I don't have to. Shouldn't this work out of the box?
Any ideas?
I have just completed a fresh install of SSRS 2005. Now, when I try to initialize it, it fails. I then try to delete any encrypted content and get the following error:

I have a For Loop container where each iteration a Master record is inserted. I also have a number of package variables capturing rowcounts from the dataflow task. I later update the master record with the rowcounts. How do I initialize the package variables containing the rowcounts because currently, some of the rowcounts are being populated with rowcounts from another file.

Hello all,
I am developing a system using SQL Server replication between SQL Server EXPRESS 2005 clients and SQL Server 2005 servers. I initialize the replica databases with a script, then I do not want to initilize the subscriber with the snapshot; I configure each subscriber to "not initilize", but when I run the first synchronization the snapshot copy process is always is executed.
Maybe am I forgetting something? Can I use this SQL Server EXPRESS - SQL Server replication scheme without initialize the subscribers with the snapshot?
Thaks for reading!
I am experiencing some replication problems. I have a test server with a test database which has been working just fine with some simple Merge Replication. That old server is now been targeted for decommissioning. I have moved the test database to another test server and have set everything conceivable up the same as it was on the prior server but I am experiencing errors that I have not been able to resolve. I am using the same Domain User account with the same privileges on both systems...
The first error I receive in my SQL Server error logs is:
Message
Error: 14151, Severity: 18, State: 1.
Rapidly followed by the following error message:
Message

From within the Replication Monitor I look into the subscription and I can see the following error message:

Is there a way to initialize a backup device without actually backing anything up to it?
This would make my backup code much simpler.
I am unable to get my snapshot agent to initialize. When I start the "View Snapshot Agent Status" and press the Start button, it appears that the snapshot agent attempts to starts and then it doesn't.
I have configured the a distribution server and need to push a replication to another database, both can connect, etc.
I used the wizard to configure the distributon server and subscription server. I am using AdventureWorks, and am attempting to replicate a single small table.

I'm trying to initialize a subscriber from a backup for a pull subscription. The publisher was started before the full backup was made. I followed the instructions @ Books Online topic "Initializing a Transactional Subscription Without a Snapshot" http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151705.aspx and How to: Initialize a Transactional Subscriber from a Backup (Replication Transact-SQL Programming) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/it-it/library/ms147834.aspx . I initialized the subscriber by restoring the db before I run the create subscriber scripts. All agents run successfully except for the following:
The network setup is that the publisher and the subscriber are in 2 different domains with the distribution database at the publisher. The subscriber agent is able to connect and run however the error on the subscriber side is:
"Agent message code 14080. The remote server "subscriber" does not exist, or has not been designated as a valid Publisher, or you may not have permission to see available Publishers."
The warning on the publisher side is in the Replication Monitor where in the status it says Uninitialized Subscription.
Any ideas on why it says it isn't initialized? Is there a StoredProc that I have to execute to initialize from backup?
Newbie strikes again.. I'm attempting to connect to a SQL Server database (using VS 2005). My code generated no errors in the build but when I tried to access the database, I got the following message:"The ConnectionString property has not been initialized."My connection string is stored in my web.config file. My code goes as follows:Dim strSQL As String = "SQL string stored here"Dim objConnection as SqlConnection = New SQLConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("name of connection string is here"))Dim objCommand as SQLCommand = New SqlCommand(strSQL, objConnection)objConnection.Open()Then I go on to open my reader and such. Where should I be initializing the ConnectionString property?TIA,Lesley
View 1 Replies View RelatedQuick question- how much disk space is required on the subscriber to initialize a subscription (transactional replication) – does it have to copy the snapshot files (e.g. the bcp files etc) from the distributor, and then initialize the subscriber from this, or does it do this over the network?
Does it differ depending on whether it is push or pull?
Say I have a 10 GB snapshot on the distributor with a push subscription to the subscriber. Do I need 20 GB free on the subscriber? E.g. 10 GB to receive the snapshot files + 10 GB for the subscriber DB? Or just 10 GB for the subscriber DB which is initialized from the snapshot files over the network?
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Hi
I've been trying to connect to my local SQL Server instance (SQL Server 2005) using the SQLNCLI interface from c++ without success. I consistently receive an 'Invalid authorization specification' error (SQL state 28000 and SQL error number 0) when I call IDBInitialize::Initialize to connect to the database. I was hoping someone here could shed some light on this and help me out.
The strange thing is that I get no error if I leave the user blank (L"" in vValue.bstrVal) and try to connect. Also, IDBProperties::SetProperties returns 0 when the user is blank but 40eda when the user is set. This seems to be a message from the pipeline facility but I haven't found the description of the code (0xeda).
The user in the database is configured with no password and I can successfully connect to the server and open the database using that user through Management Studio.
I've also tried using the SQLOLEDB provider with the same results.
Suspecting that I'm setting the properties wrong I include a code snippet below showing how I'm setting the properties:
for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(dbprop) / sizeof(dbprop[0]); i++)
VariantInit(&dbprop[ i ].vValue);
// Server name
dbprop[0].dwPropertyID = DBPROP_INIT_DATASOURCE;
dbprop[0].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR;
dbprop[0].vValue.bstrVal = SysAllocString(L"localhost");
dbprop[0].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED;
dbprop[0].colid = DB_NULLID;
// Database
dbprop[1].dwPropertyID = DBPROP_INIT_CATALOG;
dbprop[1].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR;
dbprop[1].vValue.bstrVal = SysAllocString(L"test");
dbprop[1].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED;
dbprop[1].colid = DB_NULLID;
// Username
dbprop[2].dwPropertyID = DBPROP_AUTH_INTEGRATED;
dbprop[2].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR;
dbprop[2].vValue.bstrVal = SysAllocString(L"jph");
dbprop[2].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED;
dbprop[2].colid = DB_NULLID;

I have been trying to set up transactional replication between an OLTP SQL Server 2005 Standard edition server and a BI SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition server. I am using a pull subscription. I was able to establish the replication from the developement server to the BI server however when I tried setting up the replication between the production environment and the BI server, using the same configuration settings, I ran into a problem. The production server had been renamed after it was initially set up. I used the sp_dropserver and sp_addserver to solve this issue and was able to run the replication wizard. However once the wizard finishes the snapshot agent doesn't initialize the publication. When I look at the replication monitor it has a status of "never run". I try to run it manually and it appears to run for a few seconds then stops and still has the status of "never run". I don't get any error messages and can't find anything in the log. I am wondering if this is related to the server rename? I am hoping to find a soultion that doesn't involve uninstalling SQL Server and reinstalling since this is a production environment.
Thanks.
I was using the DTS Import/Export wizard and I went to edit the
vbscript that does the transformation. When I run the package I get an

Help appreciated.
Ian O'Neil.
I have a pretty big (350 gb) OLTP database that I want to replicate in its entirety. I'm concerned about the impact of taking a snapshot of it (it is processing at some level pretty much 24x7). I know on SQL2005 there is the option to initialize from backup, but unfortunately we won't be on 2005 in time.
I'm thinking of doing something like this:
Set up the distributor, publication, and subscription
Turn off distribution agent
Set the publisher to "sync with backup"
Backup the publisher, full then log
Truncate tables MSrepl_transactions and MSrepl_commands in the distribution db (I don't have any other replication going on)
Turn off "sync with backup"
Restore the full and tran log backups to new subscriber db
Create subscriber stored procs in subscriber
Start up distribution agent
I'm looking for opinions on whether it's worth going this route to avoid taking the snapshot. Data integrity is the number one priority -- if I have to do a snapshot to ensure that, I will do it.
Thanks in advance!
Mike
