Maintenance Job Fails

Jul 23, 2005

Hi there,

Used the wizard to create a maintenance plan for a db. But it fails most of
the time. I checked the log-files.

At 1.00 AM, it runs the "Optimizations" job for 6-9 seconds. It succeeds
always.

At 1.05 AM, for 1 second, it runs "integrity check", but most of the time it
fails, and says that it couldn't switch to single-user because other users
are using the database.

And when "integrity check" fails the "backup" job won't run at 1.10 AM. When
it DOES run it takes 2 seconds.

How do I find out who is using the database ? How do I put a sp_who (or
similar) in the "integrity check" job ?
I got this tip:
----------
Assuming you have SQL2000, then you can use something like this to
kick out all the users:

ALTER DATABASE foo SET RESTRICTED_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

If you want to know who is using the database, then this is one way:

select suser_sname(sid)
from master..sysprocesses
where dbid = db_id('foo')
---------

But how do I actually do it ? How do I edit a maintenance plan ?

thx

Table Maintenance Job Fails

Nov 28, 2000

I am running an overnight job for table Maintenance - this job execs a SP. It has been working okay for a while and is suddenly failing (last two weeks) with Error 515 cannot insert nulls into column. I realise that it is possible that a change has been made but cannot for the life of me ascertain what it is. I have checked server config, database properties and user options and it all appears to be the same as a server that is running this job okay. Please help!!

Database Maintenance Job Fails

Apr 21, 2003

I have several Maintenance jobs that keep failing. They
are , Integrity Checks, Index rebuild, and Update
statistics. I keep getting a similar error on all three. I
have pasted it below. None of my other SQL 2000 servers
have any problems. I have tried changing the database
options in question. The error I keep getting is as
follows:

Maintenance Plan Fails

Feb 12, 2004

I created a maintenance plan to back up a database. It fails and I get the follow error in the log file.

Microsoft (R) SQLMaint Utility (Unicode), Version [Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 4064: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open user default database. Login failed.

What user is it referring to? What user does a Maintenance plan use to login as? SA on the server has full access to all databases. SA’s default database is master and I can read and write to it with the enterprise manager and query analyzer.

All replies appreciated

DB Maintenance - Backup Transaction Log Fails

Jul 23, 2007

Hi,



I'm running SQL 2005 SP2 and having a problem with a Database Maintenance task created in SSMS doing transaction log backups of all user databases.



When I look at dbo.sysmaintplan_logdetail I see the message:

Database 'Database1' will not be backed up because it does not have its recovery model set to Full or BulkLogged.



Great - that's what we want! Skip the SIMPLE recovery mode databases. However, the next entry is the following error message:

Executing the query "BACKUP LOG [Database1] TO DISK = N'D:\MSSQL$Windows\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Backup\Database1\Database1_backup_200707231600.trn' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'Database1_backup_20070723160023', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 " failed with the following error: "The statement BACKUP LOG is not allowed while the recovery model is SIMPLE. Use BACKUP DATABASE or change the recovery model using ALTER DATABASE. BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.



Which says to me it is trying to backup the same database(s) it just said it was skipping!



What's going on? I see that there is a fix to a similar error message with the cumulative update KB936305 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936305) for maintenance cleanup tasks.



Does anybody else have such a problem?

Maintenance Plan Fails Due To Login Failure

Nov 14, 2007



W2k3SP2 running SQL2k5SP2 in mixed mode. Trying to run a daily maintenance plan with a domain admin service account [domainsqlsvc]. This account is having login failure when I try to run the maintenance job. Would like to figure out why this account cannot authenticate with SQL. I believe I have local login denied, but login as a svc and login as a batch job are both enabled in Domain Policy.

What am I missing?

TIA for your help!

SP2 Maintenance Backup Fails On Offline Database.

May 29, 2007

I have a maintenance plan step to perform transaction log backups. There are a few databases that are offline. The backup seems to fail because it tries to backup the offline databases. The backup step is by itself as one of three subplans, although it also fails when it is the only step in a plan with only one subplan.

I have another server that is only on SP1 and it does not have problems handling the offline databases.

Is this an issue with SP2(9.0.3054)?

Check DB Integrity Task Fails In Maintenance Plan

Apr 26, 2007

Ever since upgrading SQL Server 2005 to SP2 build 3050 all my maintenance plans which begin with a Check Database Integrity Task are failing! If I remove the task from the plan they all execute properly. If I run the T-SQL equivalent manually it executes properly.

I upgraded the server to build 3054 and rebooted several times and Im still having no luck. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help with this.

SQL 2012 :: Maintenance Plan - Show Successful Even If A Task Fails?

Apr 3, 2014

Our backups by default go to a network location, but I'd like to modify our maintenance plans to backup to an alternative location if the primary location isn't available. I've setup two Backup Database Tasks where the second one runs only if the first one Fails, and if the second one runs (on first one's failure) it then sends a notification to me so I know this occurred.

The Plan is running as expected, when I simulate a bad path in the first Backup Task the second one runs and the notification is sent, but the Job shows failure. I'd like to show the job as Successful when this occurs since I'm handling the issue and notification within the Plan, but I'm unable to find out how. I've set FailParentOnFailure to False on the Plan and I've changed the MaximumErrorCount to 2 with the assumption that this would work, but neither didn't.

Also I'm running into this in both SQL 2008 and SQL 2012.

Transact SQL :: Index Maintenance / Defrag Fails On CDC Enabled Database - 2008 R2

Oct 18, 2012

We have a new database with cdc enabled on all of its tables.  This causes the index maintenance task to fail with following message:

"Executing the query "EXEC DBName.dbo.IndexDefrag_sp" failed with the following error:  "The unique index 'PK_TableName' on source table '[dbo].[TableName]' is used by Change Data Capture.  To alter or drop the index, you must first disable Change Data Capture on the table.  The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.".  Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly" We would like to run the index maintenance without losing the cdc data.  We plan on installing SP2 on SQL Server 2008 R2 soon, would that solve the issue?  Disabling the cdc prior to index maintenance and then re-enabling back upon completion; would delete the data as I found in most discussions, but we would like to retain it.

Maintenance Plan - Back Up Database Task Fails Without Giving A Real Clue On How To Fix It.

Created a maintenance plan to backup my sharepoint databases.
When I execute it the following error occurs:
Execution failed. See the maintenance plan and SQL Server Agent job history logs for details:
Additional Information:

line 1? Is that line one of the T-SQL statement? Because if that's the case then it's not because I copied and pasted the line in to a query and it executed without error.
Under SQL Agent there are no entries!
So what bloody log am I suppose to be checking?! This is very frustrating.
I then copied and pasted every sql statement in to a query and THEY all ran just fine.

What's going wrong here, and how can I correct it?

Maintenance Plan Wizard Vs Tsql Maintenance

Aug 17, 2007

Hello,

I have a question that I hope someone can clear up for me. I have come across a number of different suggestions on DB maintenance, for example reindexing with the following script:

USE DatabaseName --Enter the name of the database you want to reindex

DECLARE @TableName varchar(255)

DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_type = 'base table'

OPEN TableCursor

FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DBCC DBREINDEX(@TableName,' ',90)
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
END

CLOSE TableCursor

DEALLOCATE TableCursor

My question is, doesn't the maintenance plan have this functionality inherent in it when you create the maintenance jobs to reindex? Is there a benefit to scripting things out vs just using the maintenance plan wizard for this sort of thing and any of the items it covers? I came from an Oracle background where this was a no-brainer but I am a bit confused on the choices with SQL Server.

Thanks.

Maintenance Commands Affect On Log File / Log File Maintenance Without Log File Backups?

Jun 18, 2015

I am testing some maintenance tasks sql commands such as index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check on a SQL Server 2014 Database. This is a new non-production vendor database (DB Size 500 GBs, Log Size 25 GBs) which eventually will be created in production. Currently, it is in full recovery model and without log backups. The database has a whole lot of indexes. I am just trying to rebuild and reorganize all the indexes (that need it), in addition to trying to get an idea of how long these maintenance task will take and the space needed in the log file to complete these tasks/commands. I would like to execute these tasks manually (the first time) to gather the duration and space required information. Eventually, I would probably schedule a weekly job to perform this maintenance.

I ran the index rebuild task on the database and noticed that the log file grew by over 50 GBs. I killed the process and truncated and shrunk the log file back down.

1. Does the index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check commands all use the log file?

2. Does Indexs Reorg have less impact on log file then Index Rebuild?

3. Should a truncate log and shrink log file be performed after these maintenance commands?

4. Should a full database backup be performed after these maintenance commands? Or before the maintenance commands?

I have read and understand that shrinking is not good for the database (could lead to more fragmentation and more data file growth when data is added) and I know about rebuilding indexes when fragmentation is GT 30% and reorganizing indexes when fragmentation is GT 5% and LE 30%.

Since this is a non-production database maybe I should set the recovery model to simple, run the maintenance commands and leave the database in simple recovery model unless the vendor needs it in full recovery model for some unknown reason.

5. With the simple recovery model the log file should be reused in a circular manner and not grow during these maintenance tasks. Is this correct?

Standard Edition Fails To Install, Express Edition Fails To Uninstall

May 8, 2008

We are trying to install the Standard Edition of SQL Server 2005. We already have SQL Express installed. Standard won't install and Express won't uninstall.

We have tried every suggestion we can find and some we made up. When we try to install Standard, we get to the bit where you choose what you want to install and the only thing available is workstation components.

There are so many cases of this on the Internat that I can't believe MS have not solved the issue. And I am stunned that they want to charge us more money to talk to us about how to fix something we just paid them an arm and a leg for!

What do I need to tell you to get some idea of where to go next with this?

Maintenance A Very Large Db

Aug 31, 2001

Hi, anyone who administering the pretty big database not less than 30 Gb with the average number of rows in a table about 2M and more, please share you experience with maintenace of such a db. Esspecially i'm interesting in:

1) Indexes maintenance (When and how - just regular dbcc, maint. plan or some script to split the job twice and so on.)

2) Remove unused space from db. (not major)

The serever works 24*7, and it's transactional environment. SQL 7 sp3 on claster.

I run the sp. to rebuild all the indexes it takes about 2-3 hrs to determin the objects withfragmentation less than 80% and actually rebuilding, during this process the users experience the performance (specially for update/insert) problem. It looks like I need to change the plan or strategy to do this. Any thoughts appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Db Maintenance Plan

Oct 23, 2001

Hello All

I have been given a SQL Server 2000 database to look after which has been set up with a Database maintenance plan. The plan is set to backup the complete database and the transaction log. The backups are written to the local disk correctly but the plan is also set to remove any backup files (both database .BAK and transaction log .TRN) that are over one week old. Complete database .BAK files are written daily and the .TRN are written every hour daily. The .BAK files are removed ok automatically but the .TRN files are not - they are just slowly filling the disk. There does not seen to be anything different between the way the main database and the transaction log is set up in the maintenance plan.

I would be very grateful for any ideas

Maintenance Plan

Aug 31, 2000

I have a strange thing in one of our Maintenance plans.

On the first tab where you check which databases you're including in the plan I have (say my database name is CAT) a 'CAT' and 'cat' database listed and the one chosen is 'cat'. However my database in all other views shows up in all caps. (even when I do an sp_helpdb)

The backups look like they're working, etc. but it just seems weird. If I go to create a new plan it only gives me the one option 'CAT' which is really what's there. I'm new and I'm thinking the database at one time was 'cat' and this is when the maintenance plan was created. Then it was renamed to 'CAT' and there's the two db's showing in the old mainenance plan.

What would you do? Create a new plan with "CAT" and just get rid of the old one with the weird 'cat' and 'CAT'?

Any other suggestions or ideas on what happened..

Excessive Maintenance ?

Feb 11, 1999

Help !!
I am running a database of 500-600mb 20-30% of which is new data daily (5 day old data being deleted as part of the nightly maintenance) And my nightly maintenance is regularly taking an hour plus.
CheckDB, New Alloc, Catalog, re-indexing and dumps are performed nightly (2am ish) and as the system is in constant use I cannot afford such a long task. I can't use weekly dumps/checkDB as we use transaction log replication and these are dumped every minute. I really need some suggestions on how I can improve matters. The deletion of old data in particular is taking a long time due to the use local variables but is there a faster way to do this :

OPEN tnames_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM tnames_cursor INTO @connectionid
WHILE (@@fetch_status <> -1)
BEGIN
IF (@@fetch_status <> -2)
BEGIN
Select @dRent = DeliveredRetention from ControlDB..connectiontable
where ControlDB..connectiontable.Cid = @connectionid
Delete from MyDB..Table where Cid = @cid
and DateDelivered != NULL
and Datediff(hh,MyDB..Table.DateDelivered,getdate()) >= (@dRent*24)
END
FETCH NEXT FROM tnames_cursor INTO @connectionid
END
DEALLOCATE tnames_cursor
GO

These jobs have also started running out of locks and deadlocking on occaision which seems odd as the system has 10000 available (escalating at 2000)
Any Suggestions would be very much appreciated

24x7 Maintenance

Feb 1, 2002

hi,
I have SQL 2000 ProductionBox.It is in 24x7 environment.
We need to maintain data only for 30 days.
Even if I schedule deletetion of data on daily basis - SQL will take the lock as data we receive is too huge.
Secondly,Since the indexes are heavily used - defrag don't work for them.the only option I think I am left with is to rebuild the indexes.Though in SQL2K - index creation is on fly - but here we are talking of table sizes of 8-10GB.
I suggested my Boss to bring down the box for few hours for maintenance.but he insists that since this is 24x7 - Box can never be brought down.
I am finding it hard to convice him and do my job.
Any idea on how to rebuild the indexes & how to delete this many records(avg.50k per day-data of xml type)without creating a block is highly appreciated...or how to convince my boss to give me a window for maintenance...:)
TIA

Database Maintenance

Apr 12, 1999

SQLMaint is run once a week for the following a database on SQL 6.5. The following is the information for the database when I see it through the Enterprise Manager:

Data Size 650 MB
Data Space Available 0.00
Log Size 360
Log Space Available 359.99

The following is the syntax built by the DATABASE Maintenance Wizard:

SQLMAINT.EXE -D CATS -CkDB -CkAl -CkTxtAl -CkCat -UpdSts -RebldIdx 100 -Rpt E:MSSQLLOGCATS_maint.rpt
It runs once a week and takes about 40 mins and runs successfully. Last it run was 4/11/99 at 2:00 AM

The result set I get from sp_spaceused is as follows:

database_name database_size unallocated space
CATS 1010.00 MB 273.96 MB

reserved data index_size unused
------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------
753710 KB 280360 KB 426494 KB 46856 KB


What I don’t understand is how come the data space available shows 0 in Enterprise Manager? Shouldn't SQLMAINT, which is run once a week, allow for correct information to be reported?

Could someone please explain.
