I have 2 SQL 2005 SP2 machines that i am configuring for log shipping. The primary machine has a large database on it that i want duplicated on another machine. I did a full backup and restore onto machine 2. I configured the log shipping per the BOL and white papers. Everything seams to work correctly except for the restore i get the following error:
The restore operation cannot proceed because the secondary database 'B' is not in NORECOVERY/STANDBY mode.
The jobs are copying the files correctly but i cannot get them restored. I am trying to leave the "B" database readable for reporting but that is all i need it for. Thanks in advance
Greetings:
When I script out my log shipping configuration from the GUI and subsequently drop the log shipping and try to recreate it with the created script, the backup and restore functions do not seem to be working; please see script below. Is there an additional step (or steps) that the SSMS GUI does not output when it creates the script for log shipping? I noticed in the GUI after I run the script that the destination folder for copied files is blank as well.
Example error from backup/restore job - Error: The path is not of a legal form.(mscorlib)

Dear All
Please I need an urgent help
After i finished all Transaction Log Shipping Configuration.
I tried to use the database in the secondary database but i couldn't access it
i saw it in SQL Managment Studio as (Restoring......)
i tired to make a database snapshot from it , i had a message
Msg 1822, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The database must be online to have a database snapshot.
Please urgently
We have set-up log shipping in both our development and production environments. The difference between the two is that development is using SQL 2005 Developer Edition SP2 and production is using SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition SP2. As well, the production environment runs using 64-bit 3-node failover cluster set-up for the source, whereas the development source server environment is 32-bit and not clustered. Also, our development environment destination/monitor instance is located within the same geographic location mapped to the same domain controller. The production environment destination/monitor instance is located off-site, and although is part of the same domain, uses a different domain controller which is synched-up with the primary domain controller used for the source server and entire development environment. Other than that, both environments run using Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition SP1.
Originally, both environments were configured to use Monitor connections "By impersonating the proxy account of the job (usually the SQL Server Agent service account of the server instance where the job runs)". This presented no problems in the development environment, but in the production environment, this results in the following error whenever the source server tries to update the monitor instance with the backup alert status:
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'. [CLIENT: XXX.XX.XX.XX]
This also results in the log-ship alert job falsely reporting that backup jobs are "out-of-synch", since the source server cannot write log information to the log ship tables on the destination/monitor instance.
Now, according to BOL, when choosing to impersonate the proxy account, this is supposed to default to the SQL Server Agent Service account, which in our systems (both development and production), is a Windows domain account with full administrator priviledges and a SQL system adminstrator on both source and destination/monitor instances.
Upon trying to open a case with Microsoft originally when we were running on SQL 2005 SP1, and spending several hours ensuring there were no duplicate SPNs and linked servers were properly configured, they had come to the conclusion that this was the result of a known SP1 issue (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925843), and would be solved by applying SP2. We are now running SP2 + hotfix (9.0.3152), but are still receiving this error.
The only way I have currently of fixing this issue is by changing the Monitor connection from authenticating via proxy account to using a SQL Server login account which has system admin priviledges.
I have limited knowledge of how security is applied across different domain controllers within the same domain. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I could not able to find Forums in regards to 'Log Shipping' thats why posting this question in here. Appriciate if someone can provide me answers depends on their experience.
Can we switch database recovery model when log shipping is turned on ?
We want to switch from Full Recovery to Bulk Logged Recovery to make sure Bulk Insert operations during the after hours load process will have some performance gain.
Is there any possibility of loosing data ?
Thanks
Hi,
I 'm sure I am missing something obvious, hopefully someone could point it out. After a failover log shipping, I want to fail back to my inital Primary server database; however, my database is marked as loading. How can I mark it as normal?
I did the failover as follow:
I did a failover log shipping from the 2 server Sv1 (Primary) and Sv2 (Secondary) by doing the following
1) Stop the primary database by using sp_change_primary_role (Sv1)
2) Change the 2nd server to primary server by running sp_change_secondary_role (Sv2)
3) Change the monitor role by running sp-change_monitor_role (Sv2)
4) Resolve the log ins - (Sv2)
5) Now I want to fail back - I copy the TRN files to Sv1 - use SQL Ent to restore the database at point in time. The task is done; however, the database is still mark as loading. I could not use sp_dboption.
I appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks in advance

I recently updated the datatype of a sproc parameter from bit to tinyint. When I executed the sproc with the updated parameters the sproc appeared to succeed and returned "1 row(s) affected" in the console. However, the update triggered by the sproc did not actually work.
The table column was a bit which only allows 0 or 1 and the sproc was passing a value of 2 so the table was rejecting this value. However, the sproc did not return an error and appeared to return success. So is there a way to configure the database or sproc to return an error message when this type of error occurs?
It seems to me, that the best way is to have one Environment Varible containing the name of the SQL Server, so that you can look up the configuration in the SSIS Configuration Table when you run the package.
Is this the preferable way of doing it ? I would like to hear some positive/negative comment of why chosing a configuration type instead of another.
It seems to me that putting all of the configuration in the Environment variable is harder work but most secure (server breakdown vs table corruption/database error...)
Let's have some comments
I have a parent package that calls child packages inside a For Each container. When I debug/run the parent package (from VS), I get the following error message: Warning: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (3) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
It appears to be failing while executing the child package. However, the logs (via the "progress" tab) for both the parent package and the child package show no errors other than the one listed above (and that shows in the parent package log). The child package appears to validate completely without error (all components are green and no error messages in the log). I turned on SSIS logging to a text file and see nothing in there either.
If I bump up the MaximumErrorCount in the parent package and in the Execute Package Task that calls the child package to 4 (to go one above the error count indicated in the message above), the whole thing executes sucessfully. I don't want to leave the Max Error Count set like this. Is there something I am missing? For example are there errors that do not get logged by default? I get some warnings, do a certain number of warnings equal an error?
Thanks,
Lee

Hi Guys,
Here's the current scenario:
I am creating a windows application to manage my ssis packages.
My SSIS packages use package configurations, and by default connect to the "SSIS Configurations" table in sql server.
However, I want it to connect to a view instead of this table, so i create a view "vwSSIS_Configurations" and point the package configuration to use the view in sql server.
The application SHOULD be capable of altering the package configuration's configuration and switch its connection between the default "ssis configurations" table, and the view.
Is this possible? I cannot think of a way which I can have my application switch the package configuration's connection.
Thanks,
kervy
Could somebody please guide me on how best to Implement SQL Server Log Shipping. I have gone through BOL without luck. Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to create a RO copy of a production DB owned by an outside company. We are connectd via a WAN link, but cannot use replication. They are proposing using an initial load via tape, and sending us a text file nightly with the days changes to the DB. We will then need to load that data using BCP, DTS or some other method. Does any one have any ideas on using log shipping instead of the text file. It would only be practical to get a fresh load of the entire DB once a quarter or once a month at most. It is a 40+ GB database and we are expecting 100 to 200 MB of logs per night. For business reasons, we are limited to some type of file transfer mechanism for the data transfer, and cannot really change their backup schedule which is nightly fullbackups and tlogs every 30 minutes.

Hi all,
I am using SQL 2k EP Editions with SP2 on Win 2k Advance servers. Since more than week or so I am trying to establish log shipping between two servers. But its not working.
I am using database maintainence plan wizard to set up log shipping. Every thing works fine as far as wizard is concern, it creats plan for log shipping. But my log shipping is not working. The plan to back up log on source database is working fine. I can see the job history and the log files in the backup folder. But I have found that the job on the standby server to copy log file on network folder is failing and so the job to restore log on stand by server. I get the following message
"sqlmaint.exe failed with error state....."
Little reaserch on the standby server found that sql server is using maintainence plan to copy and restore log files, but i do not see any database maintainence plans on standby server as well as I have checked that there is no plan id in sysjobs table on either server.
I have sa rights. The account used by sql service and sql agent have admin rights and they do have rights to access the network folder for both the servers. So there is no rights problem.
I have followed all steps published in white paper for setting up log shipping on microsoft web site.
I have searched microsoft KB but it is of no use for sqlmaint.exe.
Any help is highly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

This might end up being fairly lengthy...I'm in the midst of implementing log shipping as a "warm stand-by" solution at my company. All the components appear to be in place: I'm using cmd shell to copy the backup device file to a remote server and then execute a RESTORE stored procedure on the remote server.
The copy and restore work just fine. The problem I'm having is with the transaction log dumps and restores.
We normally dump transaction logs (and then truncate) every hour. With the log shipping being implemented, we're going to want to do separate log dumps every ten or fifteen minutes, copy that dump over to the remote server, and then apply that log to the database.
Here's the question: for the log ship portion, I don't truncate the log. But after the "normal" log dump occurs, things get tossed out of whack. When you try to apply a log, I get the message "database has not been rolled forward enough....".
Has anyone encountered this type of issue and if so, how did you work around it? I'm assuming it's a simple of issue of certain options you set on your dumps and scheduling....
I'd appreciate any help....
Thanks!!!
Does anyone know if Log Shipping in SQL 2000 Ent also ships over database schema changes?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are considering implementing log shipping. Do the sql server logs keep track of the logs that are shipped and applied through log shipping? Or is there some other way to make sure that all logs have been shipped and applied?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been successful in getting log shipping working but still have some nagging questions that I cannot find answers to.
1. I had a situation where the copy for one TranLog took much longer than the 15 minute interval I have it setup for. It seemed to get stuck on that copy. Is that how it is supposed to behave.
2. Related to the question above, weekly, I have jobs that reorganize, check integity, recalc statistics. Would these jobs create very large log files? If so, how do others deal with this?
3. Is there any documents available that discuss testing converting your secondary server/database to your primary and back again?
4. Is there a way to setup Email notification to report out-of-sync conditions?
Any other gotcha's that people have run into.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
While configuring log shipping, if i choose the "allow database to assume primary role" then the "ceate and initialise new database " option is selected by default..Does this happen all the time or am i missing something.What if i have already initialised the destination database.
Thanks

Hi all,
I am testing my log - shipping strategy. I have tried with northwind database and it was successfully created and is operating. However in order to test I have created a new Test Table in the primary database to see whether it is working. From now on database shows that it has been loading and I cannot see any tables it is grayed and it says loading. What would be the problem? When I checked the logs it has been copying to the secondary database and it doesn't show any error in the log-shipping monitor. It seem everything is cool accept this loading part. If some one help me I really appreciate it.
Thanks

I have followed all steps published in white paper for setting up log shipping on microsoft web site.
I have searched microsoft KB but it is of no use for sqlmaint.exe.
Any help is highly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I failed to configure the Logshipping in
SQLServer2000, through database maintenance plan wizard,
at last step I got the following error.
Microsoft SQL-DMO(ODBC SQLState:42000)
Error 50007:xp_repl_encrypt:Error executing
srv_paramsetoutput
I am running SQLServer2000 Enterprise Edition with
Servicepack2, and Windows2000AdvancedServer with
Servicepack2 on both machines and bothe machines are in
the domain, both SQLServerservices are running under
Domain account.
thanks in advance,
Rob.
HI,
Is there any effect on taking full backups on Primary Server while log Shipping is in place? If we take a full backup is that applied to the secondary server?
thanks
We would like to use log shipping for a Near Real Time (5 min delay)reporting server. SQL 2000 requires exclusive use of the database when the logs are applied. This presents a problem since there may be a couple of hundred users on the NRT server. Even if they only make connections when running the reports there could be some contention issues. Has anybody used log shipping in this type of scenario?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to log ship a database from server A (source) to server B (read only) when the database on server A is partly replicated (transactional repl) to several other servers ? All hints and advices are highly appreciated.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know why some databases in SQL 2K Enterprise are not available for log shipping? In other words when you select a database Log Shipping this option is not available (grayed out). Other DB's on the same server log ship without problem.
Any ideas?
I think Microsoft has an answer to this but their site is not working so I can't get to the Q270006 which supposed to discuss that. If you do a search in KB for "Log Shipping is disabled" you will see the WebCast link which references Q270006 but then if you click on the link to go to the Q link does not work and search Q270006 is not found in KB..
