Log Shipping Error - Failing To Save Secondary Server Configurations Err # 14262
Apr 24, 2007
I set up Log Shipping with just 2 servers primary and secondary. When I run from the Wizard for the very first time keeps failing at the stage of saving Secondary Server Configuration info. When i instead run the generated script this problem disappears but then restoring of transactions fails - the process can backup transactions from the Primary server , copy them accross to the secondary and fails on the restore. Any ideas why.
I am getting the following error " The specified servername does not exist" when I run the Log Shipping procedure. There is only a Primary server running Win Server 2003 withe Service pack 2 and SQL Server 2005 with service pack 2 and one secondary server runnung Win Server 2003 R2 with service pack 2 and SQL Server 2005 with service pack 2. All permission setting look ok . Can anyone help
I checked the server and found that LS restore job failing and Backup and copy jobs running fine without any issue. and also observed that Copy folder the trn file existing on secondary server. i try to restore trn file im getting the error. and observed that last log backup file that it restored at the secondary database on May2nd,2015.

We tried to configure log shipping using script generated by GUI and when executed specific script which is meant for secondary server the database is not created and threw below error.
Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_add_log_shipping_secondary_database, Line 50
The database 'BUBALLO' does not exist. Supply a valid database name. To see available databases, use sys.databases.Â
Note:Â Only Copy, restore and alerts jobs have been created.
The account I'm trying to configure log shipping is the service account by which SQL and agent services are running and folder in where data and log files are intended and to be created is open to all (everybody has read/write permissioins) believe the issue is not with permissions.
I received an alert from one of my two secondary servers (all servers are running 2012 SP1):
File 'E:SQLMS SQL ServerMSSQL11.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATAMyDatabaseName_DateTime.tuf' is not a valid undo file for database 'MyDatabaseName (database ID 8). Verify the file path, and specify the correct file.
The detail in the job step shows this additional information:
*** Error: Could not apply log backup file 'MyDatabaseName_DateTime.trn' to secondary database 'MyDatabaseName'.(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.LogShipping) ***
*** Error: Table error: Page (0:0). Test (m_headerVersion == HEADER_7_0) failed. Values are 0 and 1.

Starting a few minutes later, the Agent Job named LSRestore_MyServerName_MyDatabaseName fails every time it runs. The generated log backup, copy, and restore jobs run every 15 minutes.
I fixed the immediate problem by running a copy-only full backup on the primary, deleting the database on the secondary and restoring the new backup on the secondary with NORECOVERY. The restore job now succeeds and all seems fine. The secondaries only exists for DR purposes - no one runs reports against them or uses them at all. I had a similar problem last weekend on a different database that is also replicated between the same servers. I've been here for over a year, and these are the first instances of this problem that I've seen. However, I've now seen it twice in a week on the same server.
hi all, For data ware house project, the reporting team needs to know the delta changes to the master database.
one way we were thinking was to use log shipping and run reports / ETL off the secondary server. But the team needs to know which records got changed and i was thinking of adding timestamp columns to the necessary tables (only on the secondary database schema) and that way we can track the changes.
But from my research, it seems like secondary database needs to have similar schema as promary database.
Is log shipping, can my secondary db have a bit different schema? if so how to do it? If not, how to accomplish the above secanrio, with out adding new columns (if possible) in the master database and with low over head.
We have SQL Server 2005 configured with mirroring to protect from physical errors. We also have a need for an (out of sync is ok) reporting server and we'd like to reduce our downtime in the event of a logical error.
The primary database is already being backed up (full and t-logs) to a shared network drive.
Can I implement the second half of log shipping (i.e. the stuff you do to the secondary) so that I don't have to change the current backup schedules on the primary server?
Specifically in the list of sp's below, can I start halfway down at sp_add_log_shipping_secondary_primary (Transact-SQL) ?? Without having to run the primary sp's?
We have set up Log shipping between Primary and Secondary DB. The secondary DB is right now option: Standby/Read-Only. I can not take Backup of Secondary DB now.
Shall we disable Log shipping and change the DB Option to Multi-user mode and take backup? or any different method, without disabling log shipping?
I made B server which get logs from primary server A as a secondary server in the log shipping solution. it always shows RESTORING in B server, it seems not to accessible.
my question is <if A failed down , how to revoke the B server as the primary one>
I have setup Log shipping between two SQL 2005 servers, and everything seems to be working well. The files are transferring and restoring correctly.
My question is whether I need to add any backup procedures for the secondary server to prevent the secondary server's log file size from growing continuously. Should I be doing a transaction log backup on the secondary server? Or will that break the Log chain?
If it makes a difference, the secondary server is in Standby mode after applying the logs.
We are using MSSQL 2005 and Log Shipping. After making our secondary SQL server primary, how can we put the secondary SQL server back into standby mode?
We're planning to implement log shipping on our databases, and I have been toiling with it all weekend trying to get it to work on some test databases. The result is the same whether I do it via the wizard or manually via T-SQL.
I am using 3 servers, all SQL Server 2005 Standard SP1. All 3 SQL Servers are configured identically.
When I setup log shipping, it initializes with no problems. When it processes the first tran log file, it restores it with no problem. Every successive log file thereafter is not restored. No errors are generated. The only outright indication of a problem is that the monitor server shows that there has not been a recent restore.
The backup and copy both suceed. The restore claims to suceed. If I review the job history for each step, it says that it skipped the log file and then reports that it did not fina any log files to restore.

Has anyone seen a problem where if you have several parent configurations setup and one fails to find the variable in the parent, gives a warning, and then does NOT load the rest of the parent configruations? I realize order matters in how your configurations are processed, but I wouldn't expect the rest of my configurations to not work simply because it could not find one parent variable.
The problem only seems to come up when I'm dealing with multiple parent configurations. If I'm loading a variable from a config file and then loading the same variable from a parent variable the process works fine. This way I can handle both cases, when I'm debugging it pulls from the config file, when it's running in production it pulls from the parent variable.
I have some trouble with shipping my transaction logs to the secondary database be it on
another server or within the same server to another database instance.
Im using SQL Server 2005 workGroup editions with Service Pack 2.
Here are the problems that i encountered.
I do hope someone has bumped into such a problem and willing to help me out.
I tried on 2 separate servers (not domain environment) and also between 2 separate instances (which is supposed to be simple!) on our development server,but was unsuccessful.
Between 2 separate instances on the development server - No error after configuring Log shipping though. The configuring went through and it was a success. Transaction logs was backup every minute and it got copied over to the other folder. But SQL Agent not doing its last job which is supposed to restore to the secondary database on another instance.No errors given out in SQL Agent error log files.Anywhere else im supposed to look to see if there are errors given out? Both instances SQL Agent has the same log on username and password with Administartive rights
So what went wrong?
Between the 2 servers- The transaction logs was backup every 1min on the primary server but it didn't got copied over to to the secondary database. - Error message given was:Error in restoring database to the secondary database.Network path given could not be found. Can't open the AxTest.bak file. (i am very sure i have type the correct network path,even have shared it out and i think the firewall is blocking incoming traffic since unlike our development server, which allows us to access when we use Start>Run and type in the ip address,user name and password,the primary server will only tell me no network path was found) I also believe it's because the SQL Agent on the secondary database server wasn't given permission to access the primary database folder. I've shared out the drive and folder on the secondary server and even have allowed SQL Agent to read,write and modify on both servers. For the primary and secondary SQL Agent, I configure their log on to be the same user account name and password which have administrative rights. So what went wrong?
Isit really true that both servers have to be in domain environment before you can configure log shipping,mirroring and replication?
Hope someone help me out of this predicament.Thank you in advance!
I am new to this environment and was asked to ensure that the transaction log shipping for SQL 2005 on W2K3 boxes is working properly. I noticed the db's on the secondary server are show "Restoring..." I am not sure if these were set up in No Recover Mode or Standby Mode. I have no access to the secondary db's. I get an error message when trying to access them (error 927). Monitoring was not set up initially and as you may or may not know can't be turned on after the fact...unless you delete the job and start over.
My question is is "Restoring..." normal and what does it indicate?
I am trying to implement a log shipping scenario in sql 2005 where the secondary server is in standby mode with the ability to roll change during failover.
With the help of BOL (ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/udb9/html/2d7cc40a-47e8-4419-9b2b-7c69f700e806.htm) I can implement my scenario in Recovery mode, but not in standby mode. I use the following sql to put my primary in standby
BACKUP LOG [database] TO DISK = @filename WITH STANDBY = 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupROLLBACK_UNDO_database.BAK' GO
which works, but then my restore job fails on the last step. How can I put my primary db in standby mode in such a way that the log shipping restore will work?
I've configured log shipping to use for DR purposes. I'm concerned that the physical location of the secondary is mis-reported by SQL Server Management Studio.
Viewing the secondary location (with Studio DB_name Properties Files) shows the path of the primary DB (I expected it to show the path of the secondary).
This SQL command shows the correct/actual paths of both primary and secondary DB's when run on their host servers.
SELECT name, physical_name AS CurrentLocation, state_desc FROM sys.master_files
Is this just cosmetic?
Here is an Example of how the Studio shows the incorrect path for the secondary.
I have a scenario where a customer is going to be using Log Shipping to the DR site; however, we need to maintain the normal backup strategy on the current system. (i.e. Nightly Full, Every 6 Hour Differential and Hourly Transaction Log backup)I know how to setup Transaction Log Shipping and Fail-over to DR and backup but now the local backup strategy is going to be an issue. I use the [URL] .... maintenance solution currently.
Is it even possible to do regular backups locally keeping data integrity for your backup strategy with Transaction Log Shipping enabled?
I have several databases on a 2012 instance that are mirrored to a second server, and log ship to a third server for reporting purposes.Recently, for two of the databases, the log shipping has been failing at least once per day, and sometimes more often.
i have deleted and recreated both the mirroring and log shipped databases on several occasions, but the problem is still happening.The log shipping restore jobs don't get marked as failed in the job history, but if you expand the history you can see errors such as this:
Restoring a new backup of the database cures the problem for anywhere between 15minutes and 12 hours, but it always seems to re-occur.I have run DBCC on the source databases with no errors reported, and five other databases have the log shipping working without errors.
I am having an issue with a job that runs a SSIS package that moves data from a transactional system to a data warehouse database.. The problem is that I have Log Shipping running to this database every 30 minutes which disconnects the users from the database so the transaction log can be restored. This is causing the job to fail. Is there a way in the job that runs to have it wait for the database to come on line or not fail because there is no connection? This job is a master job that runs multiple SSIS packages.
Thanks for any help.

i have created a new login in primary server and provided dbowner permission to primary db.how do i transfer this login to secondary server and assign the same permission to secondary db ?
I have not used log shipping before and find myself in a position where I need to reboot the secondary node and then the primary node and I don't actually need to failover.
Is there anything I need to be aware of. When rebooting the secondary node I assume the transactions will be held in the primary nodes log till the secondary comes back and just carry on once back up?
When rebooting the primary node nothing needs to be done and the log shipping will just start again once it has come back?
I am working on adding DBs to the AG but for some reason I am getting this error.
"Joining DB on secondary replica resulted in error"
Msg: The remote copy of the database is not recovered far enough to enable DB mirroring or to join AG. Missing log records have to be applied to the remote DB by restoring the current log backups" Which I did. I took the log backup of DB1, restored it on DB2 with no recovery, but still I am getting the same error.
I'm working on SQL 2012 Box, which is having Logshipping failed on secondary database, the secondary database was in stand by mode right now but no more restore operation performed on this database since 2 weeks! We checked in the SQL error log and found the error code 14421, severity 16, stat: 1
How to reset the logship back to normally, do I need to disable the jobs before proceed any operation!

Hello, I need some help with installing release copies of SQL05(+SSIS) and VS05 on Win03R2. It is very frustrating when a basic install fails. I€™ve been going round and round with this. M$ support has not been of help yet.
I have a new development box for SQL05/VS05 development, and when I do a clean install of release software from MSDN: Windows Server 2003 R2 ent; SQL Server 2005 dev; Visual Studio 2005 pro I find that the "save to server" in SSIS (and other utilities that save a package) fails with a non-informative message *No Description Found* (see error text below).
To setup this box I install Win03R2 first, promote it to a Active Directory DC (the one and only DC in a test forest), then install VS05 onto the E: drive. Note, I must install VS05 first (before SQL05) so that all components get installed to the RAID5 *E:* drive. If SQL05 is installed first then VS that comes with SQL gets installed on to C: (no way I see to get around this) then the full VS05 pro gets forced to install on the C: drive.
Then I install SQL05 (with everything including SSIS). At this point every thing works fine, packages can be saved ok.
If I then install VS05 again so that all settings of VS05 are as expected of a standard VS05 install (not the SQL version) then the problem with saving packages arises.
If the error message was a little more informative, I might be able to track down the source of the problem. Please help! I have tried a bunch of things - creating credentials, proxies, using the most privileged accounts possible, etc.
Thanks, MikeC

I have a pretty complicated report (lots of subreports, tables, etc) that can be well over a few hundred pages long. I can generate the report just fine, but I cannot seem to export it to anything other than an html archive. I need to export to PDF. Every time I try to export it get an error that says:
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details.
I don't get any more information than that. Is there a way that I can figure out what the actual error is, or any other way I can go about troubleshooting this? Thanks.

I have merge replication configured over VPN and the replication is failing to connect to the subscriber through Named pipes with the error Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server ......
Actually , I am having issues with Named pipes connection from publisher to subcriber. I have enabled the protocols and also enabled the remote connections using both tcp/ip and named pipes. I have created the client network alias using named pipes
Also, due to security reasons only few ports have been released on the subscriber. Please provide me some information on the following. 1) Does any port specifically be released for listening on named pipes? i am able to connect using tcpip with out any issues as 1433 has been released. 2) How to configure the replciation to use tcpip and not named pipes (guess by default it will use named pipes)?
