Log Shipping Transaction Logs.
Feb 22, 2004
Hi,
We currently have a couple a large Databases running on SQL 2000 SP3 Clustered Windows 2000 SP3 environment.
Log Shipping is enabled for both databases shipping to a Standalone SQL 2000 SP3 Windows 2000 SP3 box.
Log Shipping occurs every 15 mins with the Transaction Files on average being no more than 500KB in size. However, every now and then a Transaction Log comes through and it can be as big as 3.52GB.
Not sure why this is happening. Anyone got any ideas?
Regards
Paul Towler

Setup log shipping from an Australian SQL2008R2 server to a UK SQL2012 server. With the time involved to copy the large backup file across a WAN link, we end up with around 2 days of log backups since the full backup.
- The Full Backup is restored to the UK Server to create a new database in norecovery mode.
- The first log backup file is manually copied to the UK server and restored.
- Start the Log Ship copy SQL Agent job - starts copying files prior the full backup on the Australian server. Copies 1 Log backup file and then fails.
- Manually copy the next Log backup file to the UL server.
- Start the Log Ship Restore SQL Agent job and runs successfully and restores the Log file.
- Start the Log Ship copy SQL Agent job - AGAIN it starts trying to copy files prior to the Full Backup. IS this correct behaviour? I thought it should only copy Log files since the full backup.

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.
Message
2006-11-06 05:00:01.92 Skipped log backup file. Secondary DB: 'MyDemo', File: 'D:MSSQLBackupMyDemoMyDemo_20061106115619.trn'
Message
2006-11-06 05:00:01.95 Could not find a log backup file that could be applied to secondary database 'MyDemo'.
2006-11-06 05:00:01.96 The restore operation was successful. Secondary Database: 'MyDemo', Number of log backup files restored: 0
Any ideas or suggestions?

to take the transaction log back up regularly I should have truncate log on check point false. If I do so then how will I truncate the log.

I need to move transaction logs to a different drive and am looking for a way to do it without detaching the db.
Can I create a second transaction log file for the DB and then delete the original log file?
What is the best way to do this for db's that are being replicated?
Thanks,
Ken Nicholson

i have several sql servers doing maintenance plans and backing up the transaction logs to tape. unfortunately it seems that the server keeps adding the transaction logs to the same tape, without overwriting them. Nowadays a transaction log backup to disk takes 2 minutes but when done to tape it is taking up 1hr54minutes. What can i do so that the tape is automatically initialised without having to do it manually... Thanks

Is there a way to view the transactions from a .TRN transaction log file? If so can I overwrite some of the transactions on the file and then restore from it? I am just curious.

Hi, I know just about nothing about SQL Server. I am getting this error:The log file for database 'my_database' is full. Back up the transaction logfor the database to free up some log space.I can't access the transaction logs to back them up. I am told that my ISP'stech support should have it set up to shrink those logs automatically everyso often. Is that true?Why are they needed? Up till Monday, the logs are just of our getting SQLServer set up, so couldn't the logs just be deleted? Most of my site can'trun with this problem.I'd appreciate any enlightenment anyone can give me!Thanks, Jill

This seems like it'd be a really stupid question, but for the life of me Ihaven't been able to find an answer that works....I have a database that's approximately 400MB when shrunk... and thetransaction logs are at about 4.8GB when shrunk... I can't seem to get thetransaction log any smaller, no what I try. How can I get the log downbelow 1GB and keep it there? I've only got an 18GB hard drive and I need torun 2 copies of this database.-steve

Hello,
I am trying to figure out the time a certain store procedure was executed. I know the SP's name and approximetly the time it was executed. Is this possible to do?
Honestly, i am not sure if SQL server 2005 is smart enough to keep track of commited transaction on the server.
Any suggestins?
Thanks

I have seen quite a few people post this type of problem, but I am finding few solutions. Your advice and/or experiences are greatly appreciated.
Here's my scenario:
Environment: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, SQL 7.0 (set up for Transactional Replication)
Problem: We have several remote dB machines configured for full recovery. On these machines are several dB's that are capturing aprox. 280 data points per second per unit. (Each dB represents one unit, and we have 21 units) No problem here. The problem is the transaction logs, that obviously grow profusely, will not SHRINK after, backups, dbcc commands and TSQL has been issued in failed attempts to shrink the logs. (in other words we've tried everything)
My questions are:
1. Because we are replicating, is it absolutely necessary to configure dB's for FULL recovery? How do I check in 7.0 if the dB is certainly in FULL vs. SIMPLE recovery mode?
2. I work with SQL 2000 and shrinking files is no problem. How can we shrink these log files in SQL 7.0?
It is rather urgent I find a solution as we are running out of hard drive space on our remote machines. Please help :-(

Currently, my databases and their corresponding transaction logs are all on the same disk array. I finally was able to acquire a seperate disk, specifically to seperate the logs, in case of failure, etc.
Now, I need to figure out how to go about moving the tansaction logs off the current disk array and on to the new disk.
In Enterprise Manager, I brought up "Properties" for the first database, and went to the "Transaction Log" tab. Clicked on the "browse" or "..." button in the location field and got the following message:
"A transaction log file's physical name cannot be changed once the transaction log file has been created". :(
I have been looking through Books On Line, but have been unable to find anything helpful yet.
Can anyone help me figure out how to go about moving a transaction log's location? There has to be some way.
Even if it involves shutting down the server, altering system tables, etc. I need to get these moved.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all,
I have set up a maintenance plan to backup my databases but when I view the maintenance plan history the transaction log backup steps have a success tick but a message saying :
"Backup can not be performed on this database. This sub task is ignored"
I have looked in my backup directory and only see *.BAK files and no *.TRN.
The transaction logs are supposed to back up at 1AM and the databases at 2AM
All my databases being backed up have the truncate log on checkpoint option set. Is this best practise according to my backup schedule ?
Help !!!!
Regards,
Tim

Hi all,
I am restoring database from Transaction Logs. I followed all the steps
mentioned in the book. Just before the last step there are three options
1. Leave Database Operational. No Additional Logs can be Restored.
2. Leave Database Nonoperational But Able to Restore Additional
Transaction Logs.
3. Leave Database Read_Only And Able To Restore Additional Transaction Logs.
Option 2 and 3 aresupposed to set on the NORECOVERY flag.
I tried both options 2, and 3 , But still got messages that I did not
specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY.
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance.

I am currently having a problem with a transaction log not emptying even when backed up and truncated. I have done a full database backup and then a transaction log backup expecting this to flush the log however the log is not emptied and it is growing larger and larger. Even when I truncate the log it still doesn't free any space up. Can anybody out there spot the fundemental error in my working??? most grateful. Andy (SQL allegedly)

I have a MS SQL Server 6.5/SP5A database running on NT 4.0/SP4 Enterprise Edition with MS Cluster Server. On my Production box, I dump the transaction logs every 30 minutes. I need to recreate a point in time on a separate TEST box with the same hardware/software. I created a "DBA database" from a previous night of Production - no problem. However, when I start applying the transaction logs, it complains about being out of sequence. The timestamps that it is reporting are accurate for the transaction logs, but it is basically using the database load time to compare it with. (Granted I am moving from one box to another, but I didn't think this would be a problem). I created a "DBA database" on Production, went through the same steps, and it takes the database load and the transaction logs. I am assuming that the sequence numbers on the transaction logs are identified internally on the file, not per server? Ideas as to why it would complain on an out of sequence condition (Error 4305) when I move to a different box?

suggest me how to deal with this problem
=====
Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2
Can't allocate space for object 'Syslogs' in database
'armaster' because the 'logsegment' segment is full. If you ran out of
space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE
or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment.
