I have 2 related tables in SQL 2005. I am using Business Logic Handler on one of those tables during Merge Replication to reject data for few rows during web synchronization. Once a row is rejected, I would like to run the Business Logic Handler for the related table to reject changes for the row with same foreign key as the rejected row in first table.
Not sure if I need to create separate Business Logic Handlers for each table or can it be achieved in a single Handler.
Also is it possible to get a list of rejected rows back from the handler?
I'm trying to implement a custom conflict resolver by inheriting from
Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.BusinessLogicSupport.BusinessLogicModule. The replication is between a SQL Server 2005 Express subscriber and a SQL Server 2005 publisher/distributer.
The problem is that the resolver class in the DLL will not load; although, it does appear to find the DLL. (If I rename the DLL I get a "file not found error"). The exact error message is:
Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ComErrorException
"Error loading custom class "MergeConflictHandler" from custom assembly "MergeConflictHandler",
Error : "Could not load type 'MergeConflictHandler' from assembly 'MergeConflictHandler, Version=1.0.2502.22393, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0403e50cc4dc27fa'."."}
I placed the DLL in the directory of the program that calls SynchronizationAgent.Synchronize and tried it with and without being registered in the GAC. There was no change. Interestingly, when I move the file out of that location, but register it in the GAC, the file is not found. Thinking it may be a security problem, I gave Everyone Read & Execute and Read privileges. I believe the class is actually instantiated by replmerge.exe, an apparantly unmanaged app, so I tried marking it ComVisible. No Luck. I registered the resolver with the following T-SQL code:
, @resolver_clsid = Null The resolver I've created is not much more than a shell at this point. It is pasted below, but I tried using the code found on MSDN character-for-character and had the same problem.
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.Common;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.BusinessLogicSupport;
i'm following steps described at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365150.aspx
all goes fine until step 6. of paragraph "To debug a business logic handler on a Web server using Web synchronization, or for a SQL Server Mobile Subscriber".
in my case when attaching to w3wp.exe i can only debug t-sql or native code. when i forcibly check 'managed' i get: "Unable to attach to the process. Access is denied". error picture:
I am performing the Merge Replication of Timesheet table between SQL server 2005 and SQL CE on the Pocket PC. For one of the article, I would like to perform web synch for only those rows which have certain field set to true.
I am trying to use Business Logic Handler to implement this logic. I am using following code out of sample on MSDN web site. However I am not sure if this code gets executed for each row for a table during synch or does this get executed once for each table? The answer would help me write logic on applying synch changes only for few rows.
Thanks
public override ActionOnDataChange UpdateHandler(SourceIdentifier updateSource, DataSet updatedDataSet, ref DataSet customDataSet, ref int historyLogLevel, ref string historyLogMessage) { if (updateSource == SourceIdentifier.SourceIsPublisher) { //check the approved status of the timesheet if (updatedDataSet.Tables["tbl_timesheets"].Rows[0]["ts_approved"] == true) { // Set the reference parameter to write the line to the log file. historyLogMessage = updatedDataSet.Tables["tbl_timesheets"].Rows[0]["ts_id"].ToString(); // Set the history log level to the default verbose level. historyLogLevel = 1;
// Accept the updated data in the Subscriber's data set and apply it to the Publisher. return ActionOnDataChange.AcceptData;
When running a business logic handler at the subscriber, you can override SubscriberInserts, SubscriberUpdates and SubscriberDeletes. Are these methods called when data is changed coming from the server to client, from the client to the server, or in both directions?
I am currenly have a simple merge replication topology. The publisher-distibutor is SQL Server 2005 and the subscriber is a SQL Server Express. The type of subscription is non anonymous pull.
I made a custom business logic handler class that is trying the following:
When a new record is inserted in a published table on the pubsliher, some additional records are added in a differenct table in subscriber. Then the "InsertHandler" method returns "AcceptData" in order to allow the agent to add the new record in current table also.
So I am establishing a new connection to the subscriber and I am trying to add the additional recs in the different table. The problem is that this different table is also published as read-only on the subscriber. So my insert fails saying that table is not updatable.
Is there any way to bypass this problem?
In fact I realised in general that when my custom logic handler performs some DML operations on the subscriber, these are NOT considered as part of the replication e.g. the NOT FOR REPLICATION constraints and triggers are active for these operations.
I have got a business logic update conflict handler working, but I have had to work round what appears to be a bug.
Please can someone confirm if this is indeed a bug €“ and if it is a known bug?
My conflict handler needs to take some columns from the publisher row and some from the subscriber row in the event of conflict.
I can quite happily generate a custom dataset which contains the winning row that I want €“ I can see that because I can step through the conflict handler with debug when a conflict occurs.
However, just returning ActionOnUpdateConflict.AcceptCustomConflictData from the UpdateConflictsHandler method does not set the publisher and subscriber columns correctly. I end up with different values on the two databases.
I have found that the only way to get the correct rows on both publisher and subscriber is to create a new ADO connection to the publisher and actually perform an update €“ updating all the modified columns. This now works reliably in my testing.
Fortunately, due to business rules the frequency of update conflicts are likely to be very infrequent, but I would very much like to avoid having to do the €˜unnecessary€™ update.
Notes:
I am using column level tracking €“ but I have seen the problem with row level tracking too I have mainly been using SP1 but have repeated the test on a configuration using the SP2 CTP €“ and the problem occurs there too The problem is not due to complex logic in my code. If the method just sets customDataSet = publisherDataSet.Copy and then returns ActionOnUpdateConflict.AcceptCustomConflictData, the changed and winning publisher values are not sent to the subscriber
Pocket PC 2003, SQL Compact Edition, SQL2005, IIS6.0
I implemented a business logic handler to deal with conflicts. When I deploy it on the SQL server which is also the web replication server, the logic handler seems working fine. However, if I deploy this handler to another web server. The logic handler failed to be loaded.
My enviroment settings are desribed as below.
Machine A, distributor, with database and publication. The business logic handler is deployed at C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90COMBusinessLogicHandler.dll. It's registered by using sp_registercustomresolver. The @assembly is specified as @assembly=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90COMBusinessLogicHandler.dll';
Machine B, IIS server. The same business logic handler is deployed at C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90COMBusinessLogicHandler.dll on the Machine B itself.
When I ran the web replication, the Merge Agent reported the error as below.
Error loading custom assembly "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90COMBusinessLogicHandler.dll", Error: "Could not load file or assembly 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\COM\BusinessLogicHandler.dll' or one of its dependencies. The given assembly name or codebase was invalid.
It seemed that the Merge Agent had trouble to find my logic handler because the path reported in the error log has two backward slashes. I have no idea where did that came from. I am not sure if that's the cause of the error. Without business logic handler. I had successfully finished web replication of Machine B to sync with Machine A. If I setup web replication directly on Machine A with business logic handler, I can successfully sync as well.
Does anyone has any idea about how to correctly deploy business logic handler on a web server?
Guys, here is my scenario: I have 3 tables 1) Vendor 2) Service 3) Service Product Each vendor has the ability to have any number of services, all with any number of service products. How should I setup my page so I can edit/insert vendors, and tie a list of service products and services to them? My plan was to have a Formview with either a checkboxlist, or multilist (to select multiple items - but they don't work that way) and then store selected items in another table (each item selected with its own record) to hold onto the vendor id and tie it to a service id and a product id, but I was unsure how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. FYI I am writing in VB.
Or maybe it can't find something it's looking for to make my additional symetrical with everything else. This is from one of my businesslogic files. What causes Visual Studio to not allow me to add something here and have it behave like the other parameters/ I'm talking about ShortDesc. Visual studio inserted () and the Get instead of GET like all the others. It would not allow me to capitalize the "get". There has to be a reason for this. Currently my program is adding all of the fields except the ShortDesc to the table in my database. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this is the case?

Hey guys,I have to import a csv file to my database and then add some values to other fields based on these values. At present I use a store procedure that does a bulk insert and then I use an update and fetch inside the sql to perform these updates. I am not sure if this is the best way. Is this bad, since some amount of busniess logic is in the store procedure?If it is, how can I do this better?Thanks for the answer.
I am working with stored procedures to provide conditional business logic for a customer based on triggers. Is it possible for a stored procedure to execute an external program ie opening or distributing a crystal report?
I guess I just don't get the reasoning behind the new SqlDataSource control. Haven't we just spent the last decade or so evangelizing and learning how and why to separate business logic from the display in VB 6 and VS.NET? In this age of programming for disparate devices (desktop, mobile, PocketPC, etc.) when this separation makes more sense than ever, why is MS pushing us to go back to putting our logic and data access rules and objects back in the display? It doesn't make sense. Why would anyone do this? And why would all the experts and MVPs at ASP.NET, DevX, 4GuysFromRolla, etc., go along with this?
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[bkrm_lendcoll] ADD CONSTRAINT    ReqdCovgAmt_constraint33 CHECK    ( case  when CovgAmt = 0 and  ReqdCovgAmt = 0 then 1  when CovgAmt = 0 and  ReqdCovgAmt = 1 then 1  when CovgAmt = 1 and  ReqdCovgAmt = 0 then 1  when CovgAmt = 1 and  ReqdCovgAmt = 1 then 0 end =1 )
This is my first attempt to add a constraint for business logic. Â The desired behavior is that the two columns together have the same behavior as a radio button. Â (one can be true, the other true, both can be false, but both cannot be true.) I get this error when I attempt to update it.
The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the CHECK constraint "ReqdCovgAmt_constraint33". The conflict occurred in database "Std", table "dbo.lendcoll".
So, basically my question is, when you have two bit columns and want them to have the truth table such as described, how can I set a Check constraint to enforce this?
I have a merge replication topology that allows some subscribers (clients) to retreive a number for certain columns (ie invoice number, order number, etc).
I have implemented a custom business logic handler to check for inserts from the subscriber and before updating the server, I call a stored proc on the server to generate a new number. I update the data set and call ActionOnDataChange.AcceptCustomData. This works great for the publication db but I am trying to get this new number back into the subscription db. I am using web synchronization so I really don't have a connection back to the subscriber database.
Any Ideas? I was thinking about keeping track of the updates myself and build a sql string and somehow get that back to the subscriber to run updates for those columns... I am wondering if I am pushing the limits of the business logic handler? Was it designed to do this? Of course the easy answer is to modify my client application but I am trying to avoid that at this point.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Hello,I stuck in a delimma.Where to put the business logic that involves only one updatebut N number of selects from N tables........with N where conditions
What is the way we could implement a business logic from a Table bystoring it statemnnets in a colums and defining an execute sql toexecute it.Some legal requirements make it diffcult for us to createmodify stored procdures so Iwant to have a process where we create newrows in a table and execute it to execute business logic.All views are welcome.Havin g one table two tables different approaches to store ststementsand execute them....Case logic how to implement it?Flags in the tble colums in the tablesetcThanksAjay Garg
I am currently working with C and SQL Server 2012. My requirement is to Bulk fetch the records and Insert/Update the same in the other table with some business logic? How do i do this?
Im trying to set up a report in visual studio 2005 which uses multiple parameters (6) on which the user can filter to get the information they want.
here is what i want to happen - I've tried to explain as best i can but i dont think i've done a very good job...please ask questions if things need clarifying:
the 6 parameters are - userid, printers, default printer, area, applications, supervisor.
these need to be able to be filtered on any/all/combination of those parameters. parameters are set up and data is accessible, however when i run the report and try and filter on these it only works if all parameters are set to "All" (this is made available through a UNION select statement), or if i individually select a value for each category. if i choose a combination of say userid =myname, printers = myprinter, default=all, area=all etc it will match if ANY of the criteria is matched (including the ALL criteria, therefore it will always display all the values). i need to it work so if i pick the userid and the printer it will only match records containing BOTH the values i select, not either, or if i choose just the area, it will only return those records that contain that department.
Below is the WHERE statement i am currently entering in
WHERE (AllUserData.tp_ListId = '36948548-bfa8-4b25-aff8-b3d1f401dca1') AND (((AllUserData.nvarchar3 LIKE @Area) OR (@Area = 'All')) OR ((AllUserData.nvarchar4 LIKE @Default) OR (@Default = 'All')) OR ((AllUserData.ntext1 LIKE '%' + @Printer + '%') OR (@Printer = 'All')) OR ((AllUserData.ntext2 LIKE '%' + @Application + '%') OR (@Application = 'All')) OR ((@Application = 'All') AND (@Printer = 'All') AND (@Default = 'All') AND (@Area = 'All')))
and here is what Visual Studio automatically translates that into as soon as i execute the script:
WHERE (AllUserData.tp_ListId = '36948548-bfa8-4b25-aff8-b3d1f401dca1') AND (AllUserData.nvarchar3 LIKE @Area) OR (AllUserData.tp_ListId = '36948548-bfa8-4b25-aff8-b3d1f401dca1') AND (@Area = 'All') OR (AllUserData.tp_ListId = '36948548-bfa8-4b25-aff8-b3d1f401dca1') AND (AllUserData.nvarchar4 LIKE @Default) OR (AllUserData.tp_ListId = '36948548-bfa8-4b25-aff8-b3d1f401dca1') AND (@Default = 'All') OR (AllUserData.tp_ListId = '36948548-bfa8-4b25-aff8-b3d1f401dca1') AND (AllUserData.ntext1 LIKE '%' + @Printer + '%') OR (AllUserData.tp_ListId = '36948548-bfa8-4b25-aff8-b3d1f401dca1') AND (@Printer = 'All') OR (AllUserData.tp_ListId = '36948548-bfa8-4b25-aff8-b3d1f401dca1') AND (AllUserData.ntext2 LIKE '%' + @Application + '%') OR (AllUserData.tp_ListId = '36948548-bfa8-4b25-aff8-b3d1f401dca1') AND (@Application = 'All') OR (AllUserData.tp_ListId = '36948548-bfa8-4b25-aff8-b3d1f401dca1') AND (@Area = 'All') AND (@Default = 'All') AND (@Printer = 'All') AND (@Application = 'All')
Note: AllUserData.tp_ListId references a specific row in the database which must be queried to get the correct information. so it must match on that before anything else.
any help structuring the logic i am using or better understanding the way visual studio/sql handles this kind of thing would be fantastic! thanks!
I have 2 tables with the following structure: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[table1] ( [RID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [RText] [varchar] (400) NULL , [DateModified] [datetime] NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table2] ( [GrpRID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [GrpID] [varchar] (10) NOT NULL , [RID] [int] NOT NULL , [Status] [bit] NULL , [SortOrder] [int] NULL , [DateModified] [datetime] NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO I am transfering 2 table between 2 SQL server based on GrpRID from table2. Since RID is identity in table1 sometimes it is different text for spesific Rid in second server. Some how I need to get the match the right text from server1 to server2 and if text doesn't exists create a bew entry in table1 with the update to table2 wich should reflect correct RID.
Hi! I have a general SQL CE v3.5 design question related to table/file layout. I have an system that has multiple tables that fall into categories of data access. The 3 categories of data access are:
1 is for configuration-related data. There is one application that will read/write to the data, and a second application that will read the data on startup.
1 is for high-performance temporal storage of data. The data objects are all the same type, but they are our own custom object and not just simple types.
1 is for logging where the data will be permanent - unless the configured size/recycling settings cause a resize or cleanup. There will be one application writing alot [potentially] of data depending on log settings, and another application searching/reading sections of data. When working with data and designing the layout, I like to approach things from a data-centric mindset, because this seems to result in a better performing system. That said, I am thinking about using 3 individual SDF files for the above data access scenarios - as opposed to a single SDF with multiple tables. I'm thinking this would provide better performance in SQL CE because the query engine will not have alot of different types of queries going against the same database file. For instance, the temporal storage is basically reading/writing/deleting various amounts of data. And, this is different from the logging, where the log can grow pretty large - definitely bigger than the default 128 MB. So, it seems logical to manage them separately.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from the SQL CE experts with regard to my approach. If there are any tips/tricks with respect to different data access scenarios - taking into account performance, type of data access, etc. - I would love to take a look at that.
Hi, Is there a possible way to create multiple folders in a report project so that different reports can be categorized and arranged in separate folders. Apparently, it seems not. Is there a workaround?
I would like to wrap the following code in a function and reuse it. Â I use this code in many triggers.
DECLARE @Action as char(1); SET @Action = (CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT * FROM INSERTED) AND EXISTS(SELECT * FROM DELETED) THEN 'U' Â -- Set Action to Updated. WHEN EXISTS(SELECT * FROM INSERTED) THEN 'I' Â -- Set Action to Insert. WHEN EXISTS(SELECT * FROM DELETED) THEN 'D' Â -- Set Action to Deleted. ELSE NULL -- Skip. It may have been a "failed delete". Â Â END)
Is it possible to write a function and pass the INSERTED and DELETED logical tables to it?
Does anyone have a successful prescribed sequence for installing VS2005 and Business Intelligence Reports Projects on a Vista Business workstation to be used to create reports for a server?
I've looked through everything I can find here and I don't seem to see a clear solution without a lot of trial and error.
Fact is, I've not been successful getting just the reports to install on a plain XP box. Of course, the report creation looks fine on the server but I don't want to work directly on the server.
Can anyone take me through synchronization of contacts within Business Contacts Outlook into Microsoft Small Business Accounts?
I run a stand alone PC with NO network. When SBA came SQL was also installed. Apparently you can synchronise Contacts within Business Contacts with SBA but both SBA & Outlook should work through the same SQL server.
I have a requirement where in i have around 15 different flat files , filenames are fixed but folder path can be changed(i think i should use a variable for folder path). These 15 files data should go to their respective tables in the database.
Whether I need to create separate data flow task for each file or separate package? In addition to these, example : while importing product data into product table, if product ID already exists, we need to ignore it and upload only the new records.
I have just taken over the job of sorting out a rather poorly designed database. It looks like it was 'upsized' from an access database to the SQL server. The SQL server is the 2000 version.
Now I am trying to generate a report of what the students in the database are owing by referencing the Receipt table and then all the available payment methods and allocations. I was wondering if there was anyway to work out data being displayed twice (Let me demonstrate)
Note1: All the tables are linked by a key of ReceiptNo. From what I can see there is a table for every payment type and allocation but no link between the two other then the receipt number.
Using the query: SELECT T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount AS Chq_Amount, T_credit.Amount AS Cre_Amount, StandingOrder.Amount AS Stn_Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount AS Bnk_Amount, T_cash.TotalAmount AS Cas_Amount, T_RentPayment.AmountPayed AS Ren_Paid, T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid AS Adm_Paid, T_InternetBilling.Total AS Int_Paid, T_Utilities.AmountPaid AS Util_Amount, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid AS Inv_Paid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount AS Oth_Paid, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount AS Prk_Paid, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit AS Tel_Paid, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment] AS Dep_Amount, T_Receipt.cancelled AS Canceled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo AS Rec_Ref, T_Receipt.Student FROM T_Receipt INNER JOIN T_DepositPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_DepositPayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_RentPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_RentPayment.RentPaymentNo LEFT OUTER JOIN StandingOrder ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = StandingOrder.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_TelephoneBills ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_TelephoneBills.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_parkingBill ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_parkingBill.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_OtherPayments ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_OtherPayments.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_InvoicePayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InvoicePayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_cash ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cash.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_AdminPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_AdminPayment.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_BankTransfer ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_BankTransfer.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_Utilities ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_Utilities.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_credit ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_credit.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_cheque ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cheque.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_InternetBilling ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InternetBilling.ReceiptNo GROUP BY T_Receipt.Student, T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount, T_credit.Amount, StandingOrder.Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount, T_cash.TotalAmount, T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid, T_InternetBilling.Total, T_Utilities.AmountPaid, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit, T_Receipt.cancelled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment], T_RentPayment.AmountPayed, T_Receipt.Student HAVING (T_Receipt.Student LIKE N'06%')
Which gives a result of:
RecNo. 30429 Cheque 250 Deposit 250
30429 679.98 250
This is fine but when I do analysis on this it appears as though the student has paid two deposit payments. I was wondering with out querying each table independently from an application if there was a criteria to specify that I only get one deposit result. So as such say, give me all the payments but I only want one result from the other tables. I though about discrete but that wouldn't work here.
I have 7 source databases and one target database, all using the same structure. The structure is made of 10 tables, with foreign key constraints.
I need to merge the source databases into the target (which won't have any data before that process, but will already have the correct schema), and to keep the relationships between the records.
I know how to iterate over the source databases (with SMO foreach), but I'd like to know if someone can advise the best copy method for that context in SSIS ? (I don't want to keep the primary keys, but I need to keep the relationships...)
I have a couple of hundred flat files to import into database tables using SSIS.
The files can be divided into groups by the format they use. I understand that I could import each group of files that have a common format at the same time using a Foreach Loop Container.
However, the example for the Foreach Loop Container has multiple files all being imported into the same database table. In my case, each file needs to be imported into a different database table.
Is it possible to import each set of files with the same format into different tables in a simple loop? I can't see a way to make a Data Flow Destination item accept its table name dynamically, which seems to prevent me doing this.
I suppose I could make a different Data Flow Destination item for each file, in the Data Flow. Would that be a reasonable solution, or is there a simpler solution, or should I just resign myself to making a separate Data Flow for every single file?
