Followed the steps in Books Online to move the Reporting Services databases from one server to another. After resetting all the keys and configurations, the site comes up. However, all my shared datasources have lost their connection strings, and have reverted to requesting login information. Is this how it is supposed to work? If not, how do I fix this easily (as I have about 25 data sources)?
View 4 RepliesThe following link shows an example of backing-up and restoring the databases supporting Repor Server. My question is not so much Report Server-related but I question the restore syntax for restoring the logs.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156421.aspx
I honestly do not see how the following code would work. At least, I was not able to until I deleted everything after the "NORECOVERY". Then it seemed to work fine but maybe I missed something!
-- Restore the report server log file to new instance folder
RESTORE LOG ReportServer
FROM DISK='C:ReportServerData.bak'
WITH NORECOVERY, FILE=2
MOVE 'ReportServer' TO
'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataReportServer.mdf',
MOVE 'ReportServer_log' TO
'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataReportServer_Log.ldf';
GO
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I am trying to move my Reporting Services databases from one server to another one. On the old server there was only a single instance so my databases were named ReportServer & ReportServerTempDB. On my new server I have multiple instances and, after installation (which I didn't perform), the databases on the new server are ReportServer$SQL_VS11 & ReportServer$SQL_VS11TempDB.
I was able to successfully restore both databases and rename them at the time of restore and also restore my encryption key but now when I try to view one of the reports I'm given the error:
Invalid object name 'ReportServerTempDB.dbo.PersistedStream'.
I found this article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159093.aspx
It states that "This error occurs because the ReportServerTempdb name is stored internally and used by stored procedures to perform internal operations. Renaming the temporary database will prevent the stored procedures from working properly."
This leads me to believe that what I'm attempting to do is not possible. I asked the developer in charge of the reports if we could simply republish but he informed me that we would lose history in this case. I may have to simply leave the old database names alone which would be inconsistent with our corporate naming schemes. Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Thanks,
Pat Brickson
Hi all,
Is it possible to cleanup ReportServer DB and ReportServerTempDB by setting the time interval ? For example, I want data in these two dbs to be deleted automatically after 5 or 10 minutes. How can I do that because as new reports are added and executed data goes on increasing in very short time and hurts performance.
Thanks,
Prashant
Please help everytime i call http://servername/reportserver it is presenting the login screen, if i enter the username and password then i can access the reportserver screen, same with reportmanager tool.
under iis manager for the reportserver virtual directory i have given anonymous login access.
do i have to set any other extra permissions other than anonymous login(iusr_machinenname)
thank you all for the information.
I've created a web application with Visual Studio 2003. Uploading my application to the server is easy enough. I use the Copy Project utility from the Project selection on the menu bar.
I'm using a remote server-- and hosting account that supports ASP.NET and ms SQL. But now I want to copy my ms SQL database and can't find any way to copy my DB to the server.
What do the best way to to this?

Hi,
Iam trying to move the database from one server to the other server.I know it can be done in the following 3 ways i.e
Copy .mdf and .ldf files to the other server and attach them.
or
restore the databses from the backups
or
use data transformation services.
Now let me know which is the fastest way of doing this.
and also what are advantages and disadvantages of above methods if possible.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I move SQL databases quite often from one server to another. What is the most efficient way to do this? I normally perform a log dump then a
database dump and then copy the backup DAT file over to the new server and then perform a restore. This is OK except that the User accounts
permissions usually get messed up in the process and I have to redo them. It's OK for a few user accounts but some databases I work with have
many user accounts. The version of MS SQL I use is 6.5 (sp4). Thanks in advance. JLS
hi i am trying to move my databases from one drive to another..sometimes could be into different network. i know how to do this through management studio. but how easy it could be doing it from query analyzer or may be using batch file. if you have experience please drop some words.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a web app that has been regulated to a disconnected PC. It's runing IIS and 2.0 with sql server express, but no connectivity. I have changes that are made to some of the data in the db (data, bot schema). There is one particular table that I cannot overwrite, and must extract the data.
What methods are available to do this swap of data between databases? I was thinking of doing something like this:
Track last date that remote db was updated. Upload updated database into data directory, loop through records for all affected tables, any date that was past logged date then update the record if it exists or insert new record, and then loop through the remote db and delete this records that dont exist in the updated db.
This seems intensive and slow - especially as the tables get bigger but I can't think of another solution that can be done by a user using sometime of web interface.
I'd like to hear the "best practices" for moving databases from one server to another with minimal impact (minimum downtime) to users. The database is about 1GB, but growing at an average rate of 5MB/day.
Only 2 databases on that source server are to be moved. There are other databases on that server that shouldn't be affected as much as possible.
Any good suggestions?
I'm sorry, but I'm a complete newbie to SQL Server although I'm very familiar with Exchange/NT stuff. Got thrown this responsibility lately :(
We are going to be moving over about 29 databases from one server to another
(space issues). The new database will then be renamed to the old server name.
The database sizes range from 100mb to 29gig.
I was planning on doing a dump/restore which will take over 3 hours to dump and
12-15 hours to restore.
Our NTAdmin suggested shutting down the SQL Servers and just copying over the
data/log files to the new box and then bringing up the new server.
Had anyone ever tried this?
What are the effects on files over 22gig?
Should I also copy over the model/msdb/master database files?
What other potential problems should I be aware of?
My fear is that I start copying them over, run into a problem half way through
and then
have to revert back to the dump/restore method.
Any help would be appreciated, we are scheduled to do the move this weekend.
Thanks again

how can I easily move my whole SQL Server 7 installation to another different machine as the current one is going down for maintenance during one week?
Thanks.
I was hoping to get some input on the best approach for the following situation:
I have been tasked with moving several SQL server databases from one SQL server to another to free up the hardware on the first one for another purpose. The SQL server is version 6.5 and has service pack 5 on it.
I have installed SQL server on the server where the data is going to end up with the same code page and sort order as the current server.
For my next step I was going to create devices for the databases on the new server, then add the databases to the devices. I was going to use the "Create database for Load" statement. Then I was going to load a transaction dump from each database on the old server into the new database on the new server. Is there anything else I will need to do? Will I have to do anything with the master database or is it sufficient to do what I have stated above?
Can anyone direct me to a good technet article or white paper on this process? I did find a short page in SQL books on line which helped a bit.
Thanks in advance,
CK.

Hi Experts, I need an advice on this documentation. What are the things i missed. Can you please help me.1.Make a full backup of all databases from server 1 (for our safety)
2.Copy all logins , Jobs , DTS packages, folders from server 1 to server 2
3.Copy any folders or files from the server 1 to the new server 2 that will be accessed by Jobs, DTS packages, stored procedures etc.
4.Change all databases to Single user mode so no one can access the server( Downtime)
5.Detach all databases from server1 ( There will be downtime)
6.Stop the SQL Server, SQL Agent Services on server 1
7.Attach all databases to server 2 since both servers are in the same Datacenter.
8.Connect to the server 2, using Enterprise Manager and make sure all the databases are displayed and that there is no suspect databases. Scan through the SQL Server error logs, SQL Agent error logs, and System and Application event logs, to make sure there are no errors. If we find any errors, fix them before you proceed any further.
9.Once we are happy with the new server’s server 2 state, shutdown the SQL Server, SQL Agent and MS Search services.
10. Rename the alias on server 1
11.Rename the alias on server 2 so all the applications will point towards it and reboot the server.
12.Start the SQL Server, SQL Agent and MS Search services on server 2.
13. After we have completed these steps, server 2 is ready to go.
Hi all,I am pretty new to dB programming and a have a few questions which I willput in separate threads. I have only coded as a hobby and some limited workprojects. I have recently been asked if I could help implement a simple helpdesk for work. This has only been running for a few weeks and the data iscurrently being stored in excel (I know...I know!! :-)I have installed a copy of MSDE on my development machine and plan on doingthe same on my office 'server'....in fact it may well already be on there. Ialso have another testbed to act as the client.My first question (in no particular order) is how to move the sql db fromthe development machine to the server? I don't have any sql/db tools otherthan anything that is included with MSDE (which I don't think is much).I will be posting other Q's for any experts out there!Thanks in advance.Phil

Having a bit of an issue 'moving' a database. I've only just installed SQL Server 2005 on a Development/Test box so I can learn and mess around with it without doing any serious damage to anything important.
One of the first things I've done is install the AdventureWorks database and, having installed it, decided I would move the files to their optimum locations. However having detached the database I can't seem to move or copy the .mdf or .ldf files - something still seems to have its tentacles around them - 'Access denied' error. Even rebooting the server doesn't work. So I've had to delete then re-attach the database. The question then is does Detach serve any useful purpose? Or am am doing something wrong? With SS2000 I could detach a database, relocate the physical files and re-attach in seconds. The same procedure with SS2005 has taken me an hour!

I have to periodically migrate a copy of database on a production web server down to a web server used by some developers. The names of the databases are different, as are the underlying file names and locations. I use Management Studio to do this. we're running 2008 R2.
I make a backup on the production server, then move the file to the developer server. On that server, I take the db offline, then restore the file into the proper database. Before I start the restore I change the files to match the default names for the target database. Then I do the restore.
The main practical problem I have is that the security ends of breaking for some logins, but not for others, and I don't know why. I use the same login names for users on the source and destination machines, but sometimes they don't come through cleanly, and I have to recreate them. It's always the same users that break. I can fix them, but I'd like to understand why some users come across while others don't.Also, what's the best way to move a db from one engine to another, with a name change along the way? And how do you do it if you have different physical environments and different paths for the actual underlying files between the two systems?

What is the easiest way to move SQL Server 2005 databases from one oldserver to a new server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe tried to move the two 2005 ReportServer databases to another platform. The actual db move worked fine (detatch/copy/attach) but when the report guy tried to change the connection info in Report Server he could not seem to make the change.

This should be very cook-book. I have no experience with Report Server but I know some of you guys could to this with your eyes closed.

I am trying to move my reporting databases on Server1 to another server (Server2). The databases are named ReportServer$Server1 and ReportServer$Server1TempDB, and I would like them to be named ReportServer$Server2 and ReportServer$Server2TempDB on Server2. I have followed all the steps in the KB articles on moving databases, and I have restored the key from Server1 onto Server2. I can use the Report Manager to change the Data Source connection string on Server2. However, when I try to access a report, or delete an unwanted object, it always errors out, and there is a reference to ReportServer$Server1TempDB in the error message.
Where is this dependency on the old name coming from? Is there no way to rename the report server databases?

I am in the process of moving my system databases to another volume. I have accommplished the first section pertaining to master database.
I have reached step 3 in the Resource database move section down below.
It states to change the FILENAME path to match the new location of the master database. Do not change the name of the database or the file names.
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource
MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_mastermssqlsystemresource.mdf');
I changed the query to point ot the new location of the master, (E:MSSQLData)
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource
MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= E:MSSQLDatamssqlsystemresource.mdf');
I get the following error when I run the query:
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database mssqlsystemresource. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
What am I doing wrong? My syntax must be incorrect. But I can't figure it. Anybody done this before.
These are the steps per msdn.
****************************************************************************************************************
To move the master database, follow these steps.
1. From the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
2. In the SQL Server 2005 Services node, right-click the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service and choose Properties.
3. In the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
4. Edit the startup parameters values to point to the planned location for the master database data and log files and click Apply. Moving the error log file is optional.
The parameter value for the data file must follow the -d parameter and the value for the log file must follow the -l parameter. The following example shows the parameter values for the default location of the master data and log files.
-dC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAmaster.mdf;-eC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOGERRORLOG;-lC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAmastlog.ldf
If the planned relocation for the master data file is E:SQLData and the planned relocation for the log file is F:SQLLog, the parameter values would be changed as follows:
-dE:SQLDatamaster.mdf;-eC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOGERRORLOG;-lF:SQLLogmastlog.ldf
5. Stop the MSSQLSERVER service.
6. Physically move the files to the new location.
7. Restart the MSSQLSERVER service.
8. Verify the file change.
SELECT name, physical_name, state_desc
FROM sys.master_files
WHERE database_id = DB_ID('master');
********************************************************************************************
To move the Resource database, follow these steps.
1. Stop the MSSQLSERVER service if it is started.
2. Start the service in minimal mode. To do this, at the command prompt, enter <SQLPath>innsqlservr -c -f -T3608 where <SQLPath> is the path for the instance of ssNoVersion. For example, C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQL. This will start the instance of ssNoVersion for master-only recovery.
3. Run these queries. Change the FILENAME path to match the new location of the master database. Do not change the name of the database or the file names.
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_mastermssqlsystemresource.mdf');
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource MODIFY FILE (NAME=log, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_mastermssqlsystemresource.ldf');
4. Make sure the Resource database is set to read-only by running this query:
