I've been studying/experimenting with the replication features and though the Updating Susbcribers Replication Model was the answer to my data environment.
What we want: We have a live server (Publisher) that'll serve content to our users, but we want an "offline/data entry" server (Subscriber) that'll pretty much have the exact same data as the live server for data entry and validation purposes. Changes and inserts would be done on the Subscriber locally, vetted through, and once done, it'd be updated to the Publisher.
I've managed to get some semblance of the above working, but the updates are nearly instantaneous. Which means that changes/inserts that may be erroneous on the subscriber machine would almost always be seen on the publisher machine before our operations can do anything about it.
Is there a way to configure the replication process to hold off until the admin triggers it? Or am I using the wrong feature?
I have maually deleted the Database.LDF file by stopping the SQL Server. When i start the SQL Server, merge replication which was configured for the database does not work. How do i fix this problem.
We have a database which is (a subset of tables are) replicated to another via transactional replication. Whilst most changes made at the published database reach the subscriber within a matter of seconds, we have a SQL Agent job which performs a calculation in the published database and then immediately exports data from the subscriber using log shipping. The result is that the calculated changes do not make it through to the exported transaction logs in time.
Is there a way to manually "refresh" the subscriber databases using T-SQL?
I've setup alerts and an operator to email on a particular event code. I can successfully test the operator. (It e-mails fine) The problem I am having is that despite having a particular event log to the NT application log, no SQL Alert is triggered. I've tried logging to the NT Application log, as well as the SQL errorlog. The SQLExecutive is running. Thanks in advance. John
I am trying to set up a 'SQL Server event alert' that will 'net send' a warning message to one of the Operators that have been set-up on our SQL Server.
The alert has been configured to act on severity level '009 - User Defined', for all databases.
I have created a user defined system message with a severity level '9' on the sysmessages table.
EXEC sp_addmessage 80000, 9, 'My User Defined Message'
...and I have raised this error on our SQL Server.
RAISERROR(80000, 9, 1) WITH LOG
The error message is being generated in the SQL Server Log file, but for some reason my Alert does not appear to fire off the 'net send' event.
The operator is 'available to receive notifications', and I have tested the 'net send' command successfully.
Does anyone know why this Alert might not be sending a message with the 'net send' command?
If I have a trigger for INSERT and DELETE, how do I know what action was executed ?? I prefer not to split the trigger to one for each action, because the the procedure for both is almost the same.
Another question, How can I know what records were updated? I need to concatenate the ID/ID's to the SQL in the procedure.
Hi, I am developing desktop application with SQL Server 2005 in C#. I need your help. My Question is "How to notify a Database trigger is executed thru C# application?". Now I am going to explain clearly. I have a table "Employee" and I created one trigger (it may be INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) for that table. Then I created a C# application to show a msg box when that table is modified. Now my question is If that table is modified a message box will be shown. I know about trigger (If trigger assigned table is modified that trigger will automatically executed.) But how do i know that trigger is executed thru a C# application. Please send your suggestion or links.
How do I make an event to fire for every 100 rows? I have set default buffermaxrows as 100, so I expect SSIS to write to the destination after every 100 rows and during that time I believe OnPipelineRowsSent would be fired.
But in my case, it write around 350+ rows and OnPipelineRowSent is fired only 3 times (350+350+350). Is there anything else I can do to fire this event for every 100 rows or its not possible?
I am interested in creating a stored procedure that will trigger a script if an insertion to a particular table is done. I have never done this before, so I was wondering if someone could share any advice.
HelloThe problem is need to find out the querry that has updated or insertedinto the table and in turn 'Triggered the Trigger'. I have the username, the machine name, Application name, but not the query. The updateis not desired and the application is doing it but the applicationbeing so large we are unable to pin-point the code which is doing thedammage.Pls help!RegardsAnubhav
I have a child package which is executed several times within the same SSIS ETL. I have placed a break point on one of the child package's tasks, set to trigger on a PreExecute() event. The first time the child package is invoked, the breakpoint is triggered. However, on each successive invocation the breakpoint is ignored. Does anybody know if this behaviour is normal? Thanks in advance!
i have a package which logs to a table the status of its execution. i wonder if there is a way to trigger an event when package execution is terminated.
I have a job in SQL Server agent with 199 SSIS steps and growing. In the job log only 99 steps are shown, which is a problem if a step higher than 99 fails to run. I need the steps to run in sequence and preferable would like to split the job into several jobs each containing no more than 99 steps. The only thing I don't know is if it is possible to have the next job in sequence start only when the previous job has finished.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how it is done?
I have a Send Mail task as part of a validation process in a OnPostExecute event handler. All tasks preceding the Send Mail task get triggered and show green check mark next to them, but, for some reason, Send Mail task never gets one.
I checked the Execution Results tab and it doesn't show any indication of Send Mail task executing as a final step.
I checked the SMTP server configuration and did some test using localhost. I'm able to send as configured while using anonymous credentials.
My question is it possible to send a report developed in reporting services via email as either a attachment or imbedded in the email, from an insert trigger placed on a table in sql. If so could you please help with the string that would be need to achieve this. The report will need to have one or two parameters passed to it from the table. The report is built and working through reporting services already. I was impressed with the subscription services that reporting services has in place and would like to utilise the reports further by auto emailing out when a new record is placed in the table. To be sent out either as an attachment or imbedded in the email it self. Thanks for any assistance in advance David
I have multiple task flows with precedence constraints and i have changed the constraint as completion to execute the package even though there is failure in one of the tasks in the package but every time the send mail success is executed instead of Send mail Failure task.
Hi everyone In my project, sometimes, I need to run log shipping manually rather that it runs automally when the schedule occured. manually run log shipping means call the log shipping in code.
This may sound quite easy for you, however I am a newbie in SQL.
So I have an identity field, which I wish to increment automatically every time I do an insert. However the starting integer has to be the MAX value from another table.
So for example I am doing an insert in a #temp table INSERT INTO #temp(name, surname) SELECT name, surname from table1
Now the personId of the #temp table has to start from the MAX of table2 Ie SELECT MAX(personId) from table2
The SELECT MAX(personId) from table2 can also be NULL, ie the first time I am inserting, so I also have to cater for this scenario.
I have been testing with the WMI Event Watcher Task, so that I can identify a change to a file. The WQL is thus:
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent within 30 WHERE targetinstance isa 'CIM_DataFile' AND targetinstance.name = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\AdventureWorks.bak'
This polls every 30 secs and in the SSIS Event (ActionAtEvent in the WMI Task is set to fire the SSIS Event) I have a simple script task that runs a message box).
My understanding is that the event polls every 30 s and if there is a change on the AdventureWorks.bak file then the event is triggered and the script task will run producing the message. However, when I run the package the message is occurring every 30s, meaning the event is continually firing even though there has been NO change to the AdventureWorks.bak file.
Am I correct in my understanding of how this should work and if so why is the event firing when it should not ?
Hi: I have a UDF that splits a string based on a delimiter.The UDF returns a table of records:1- ID2- ValueThe string I am sending to split is:'2-4-07:00 AM-08:30 AM'I am splitting on '-'What I get back is a table of 4 rows.I want to get each value, convert it to the right data type, then assign it to its own variable.How can I get each row alone manually? Can I? Without using Cursors?if I do a "select * from Split(@myData,'-')", then I cannot retrieve each field alone,Thank you.

I'm trying to use the Slowly Changing Dimension transformation and it seems that in order to get the transformation to work as expected the custom property "sql command" has to be manually changed so that a "RTrim" function is applied to all string columns referenced. As an example consider this:
SELECT Initials, Department_Name from dimEmployee
has to be changed to
Select RTrim(Initials) as Initials, RTrim(Department_Name) as Department_Name from dimEmployee
where Initials is the "bussines key" and "department_name" a historic attribute.
Code Snippet CustomerDetail customerid customername status app_no deskno
Now everytime a new customer is created, i allocate the deskno. The logic I use is
Code Snippet create proc spoc_incrementdesk as DECLARE @deskno int
select @deskno = (SELECT max(deskno) from customerdetail)
Insert into customers(1,'rick',1,23232,@deskno)
If there are already records present in the customer table, it works well. However if the very first record is getting inserted it inserts null in the deskno because when no records are present (max(deskno) = null).
At time time of insertion, how do i check if @deskno = null and allot it 1.
I have a report scheduled for email delivery at a certain time of the day. Is there a way I can execute the subscription ON DEMAND so that when ever I execute it, the report is processed and emailed? Is there a way to run the subscription from a batch file/ssis/tsql etc?
When I force Mirroring to fail over while watching the Mirroring Monitor I notice something interesting. Before I failover, the servers are synchronized and there is zero unsent log and zero unrestored log. When I failover, the mirror changes to "restoring", stays there for about four minutes, switches to "Principal, restoring", and then the unsent log and unrestored log numbers jump to values in the tens of megabytes, and we spend time restoring.
We wait about five minutes between requesting the failover and having the servers back up again, answering requests.
Why does failover take so long? We've been thinking that failover shouludn't take so long because the servers think they're synched. What causes the log spooling spike? Is the state refelcted by the mirroring monitor inaccurate?
Is there a way to do this? It would be useful to test whether a subsciption works. At the moment I am setting the scheduled time a few minutes ahead and waiting for the report to run.
Subsciptions are also a convenient way to store different parameter settings for a report.
My preference would be to to do this through the Report Server UI (presumably from the subscriptions tab).
Alernatively, being able to call a report (with paramters) from a stored procedure woukd be useful.
I use Reporting Services in my solution. The data i have as source is very uncertain. Sometimes i manually have to delete a record from the report (not the database itself). I woluld like to have a checkbox or something simular to delete from report and totals, grafs would be updated. At the same time I would like the report to make a comment that a record was taken away, alternative let the user make a comment. Is this possible? DO i have to make a own application for that?
