Hi,all BI experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am having a problem with connecting to SQL Server 2005 database from Office Business Scorecard Manager 2005 (the connection string i am using is: provider=SQLOLEDB;Data source=server_name; Initial catalog=database_name). But the connection failed. Would please any experts here shed me any light on what is the problem and how to fix it then? As there is no any forum for Office Business Scrorecard manager 2005. Therefore I post my thread here as it is related to the connection to SQL Server 2005 database engine, thought here is the best place for this question.
Thank you very in advance for your kind advices and help. And I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

I'm green on this networking stuff so any help is greatly appreciated.
I have setup my home computer as a server and assigned a static IP to it. I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer and allowed remote connections to it through the Surface Area Config tool, added port 1433 TCP and 1434 UDP to firewall's exception list, and started the SQL Server Browser service.
Now I can't seem to remote connect to this SQL Server from my office network. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks!!
I received an error when I tried to install SQL server 2005 enterprise edition trial software with office 2007. My operating system is Windows XP pro SP2. It could not locate an office file and recommended downloading office 2003 sp2. Will this fix the problem?
Hi!
Today we moved from 32bit to 64bit computing environment. 64bit Window server 2003 and SQL 2005 are now our playing ground. And 32 bit Office 2003 is also installed. Excel in Office program plays important roll in our mission.
One of our routine task is that
step 1. get Excel data files from other websites and
step 2. extract specific data from them and
step 3. converting them into some type of data that can be compatible with SQL
Our problem occured in step 3. To convert data, we realised taht 64 bit excel driver, which we believe is not yet available, is required.
My questions are:
1. Is 64 bit excel driver (of office 2003 or office 2007) available now?
2. Is there any way OR IS IT POSSIBLE to use 32 bit excel driver with 64bit SQL 2005?
If possible, please enlighten me.
I would appreciate it very much if anybody answer my questions.
Sincerely
do you mean first install SDK, then install IIS, then install report sever?
I have same problem.
any can help?
Hi
We would like to install Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition (including database engine, reporting service, integration service and analysis service) as a sepearte instance on a server which already has Sql 2000 with reporting services and analysis services. We do not want to disturb the existing sql 2000 setup.
If we do that then what will happen to my earlier sql 2000 reporting service? Will it be upgraded to sql 2005 reporting service? I heard that reporting services are instance unaware application. Where will be the default reporting service database available?
Please help us.

Hello,
I'm trying to load en EBCDIC file with packed decimal in comp 3 into a SQL table.
I have been searching information in this forum in several threads and have downloaded a DLL from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0e4bba52-cc52-4d89-8590-cda297ff7fbd&displaylang=en
and so far I've been able to get the "UnpackDecimal Data Flow Transformation" to work ... sort of.
The problem is that in the destination table the decimals appear allways as NULL.
The destination decimal column type in the table is set as VARCHAR (I've tryed to set Integer with no success).
Any help on this will be apreciated. If you need more information please ask.
Thanks.
Hi
Is it possible to use Database Mirroring when running a SQL Server 2005 database in compatibility mode 80 (SQL Server 2000)?
If upgrading to SQL Server 2005 we would have to run Principal, Mirror and Witness in mode 80 to support our Transact-SQL Queries. To upgrade our Queries would be equally (or more) costly then to buy new SAN hardware for a cluster in wich case we might well continue running our 2000 cluster. (Buying hardware is slightly more time efficent then rewriting some 1500 queries)
Please advise, thank you

Hi guys,
I recently installed Office Accounting 2007 Professional on a Windows Server 2003 machine with SQL Server 2005 (installed on an existing instance) and updated Office Accounting with service pack 1. However, after I have created the company file, other users were unable to open it. The error message was "The company could not be opened. Please ensure the SQL Server exists, the service is running and access has been granted."
Below are some of the stuff I had done, but still cannot solve the problem:
- Under "Manage users and roles", I granted full control to all users in the AD.
- Made the company.sbc as well as the multiuser.sbc file available to everyone on the server's shared drive.
- Granted full control to all users in the AD for the above mentioned shared drive.
- Copied the company.sbc and multiuser.sbc files onto all client computers.
- Ensured that SQL Server is running.
- Checked the security options for the linked database to ensure all users have the necessary rights.
- Enabled TCP/IP and named pipes as well as the port 5356 and have restarted the services.
- Added port 5356 as an exception in Windows firewall on all client computers.
- I even switched off Windows Firewall on the server just to eliminate this possibility!
- Tried everything listed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910012
I still get that error message on all client computers!!! What else have I left out? God bless me...
Hi!
I'm configuring now Reporting Services on SQL Server 2005 in Office Sharepoint Server 2007 integration mode. In the beginning of the process, I had already installed SQL Server 2005 with RS and Office SPS 2007. I used following guides to make further steps:
How to Configure Reporting Services to Use a Non-Default Web Site (Reporting Services Configuration)
How to Configure Service Accounts (Reporting Services Configuration)
How to Configure SharePoint Integration on a Standalone Server
How to Configure the Report Server Integration Feature in SharePoint Central Administration
Troubleshooting a Side-by-Side Installation of Reporting Services and Windows SharePoint Services
So I installed RS add-in for SPS, made RS configuration and almost all SPS configuration. I stopped with error
"An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. --> Server was unable to process request. ---> The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found. " in "Set server defaults" command.
My servers configuration is following:
1. Both RS and SPS are running on the same server.
2. I cannot change port of default web site, so I made different web site "Reporting services" under same web server with port 8086 (http://mtx-sps2007:8086/reportserver)
3. RS Windows service runs under domain system account that is a member of local Administrators group (account name sql2k5sps7)
4. RS Web service runs under NT AuthorityNetworkService account
5. Database connection configured using mentioned above account sql2k5sps7
6. Report Server Web Service URL in SPS is set to http://mtx-sps2007:8086/reportserver
7. Authentication Mode in SPS is set to "Trusted account"
8. My account, under which I make a connections through terminal services to SPS and RS servers and through http to reportingservices page is a member of local administrators group of both my PC and server.
9. I'm not familiar with SPS (honestly speaking, with RS too, but at least I learning this quickly, but SPS is out of my responsibilities scope)
10. ReportServer runs under separated app pool that runs under NT AuthorityNetworkService account
And now I'm fighting with this error on "Set server defaults" command. It's interesting that from my PC there is no credentials prompt when entering SPS administrations page and error is following:
An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode
But from terminal client, connected to SPS and RS server, there is a credentials prompt (I enter my credentials) and error is as mentioned abowe:
An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. --> Server was unable to process request. ---> The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.
Also, the same error I got when I tried to add a report to report viewer web part on SPS test page.
Can anyone help me with this? I would be greately appreciated to any help on resolving this issue.
Hi, I am trying to edit some data from a SQL2000-datasource in ASP.NET 2.0 and have a problem with a column that has bit-data and is used for selection. SQL2005 works fine when declaring <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="TRUE" Name="APL" Type="boolean" /> </SelectParameters>When running this code with SQL2000, there are no error-msgs, but after editing a record the "APL"-column looses its value of 1 and is set to 0. Looks like an issue with type-conversion, we've hit incompatibilities between SQL200 and 2005 with bit/boolean several times before. So, how is this done correctly with SQL2000? (I've tried setting the Type to "int16" -> err. Also setting Defval="1" gave an err) ThanksMichael

I have several SQL 2000 servers I need to setup transactional (non updatable) replication with. The structure is:
SQL Server 2000 as Publisher/Distributor
SQL Server 2005 Standard as Subscriber
The connection is via the Internet with snapshots using FTP.
I setup the first set (2 databases at location A). They work wonderfully. I created the publication and then subscribed using MGMT Studio for 2K5.
II am setting up the same scenario for location B. Here is my problem:
In MGMT Studio I connect to the publisher (SANDRA). I right-click a publication and choose New Subscriptions..., the publication is already selected. I click next - Run each agent at its Subscriber is selected and the only option (this is desired), I click Next
HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
On the Subscriber's screen there are no Subscribers listed. When setting up location A the subscribing server was listed and I could choose a database. The Next button is greyed out and there is no way to create/add one.
I tried setting up the subscription by right-clicking the subcribing server's Replication folder in MGMT Studio but I get the same result (except that I have to authenticate with the publishing server which works fine).
WHAT'S DIFFERENT:
Location A is SQL Server Standard (SP3) running on SBS2K3. It is obviously on a domain and so SQL Server and the SQL Agent are running under domain accounts. Location B is a Windows XP SP2 machine running SQL Server Personal Edition (it actually says Development Edition in the properties window).
The databases are the same strucutre, different data. At location A the firewall is set to allow 1433->*any* and *any*->1433 where *any* is 1024 or higher. On the XP machine the firewall is set to allow port 1433. I don't think this is the issue because I've turned the firewall off on the XP machine and I get the same result.
ANY IDEAS?
Hi , all Microsoft BI experts here,
Thanks for your kind attention.
I am having a question as stated in the subject title, yes, when we want to deploy scorecards to reporting services, as the prerequisite, how can we install and register the scorecard custom data processing extension with the Microsoft reporting services server?
I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly and thank you again.

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to connect to Desktop SQL Server 2000 from Windows mobile PC Emulator (VS 2005). I need a direct connection using connection string to SQL Server 2000 through local wireless network without IIS.
Bellow is the code that I use. After executing this code I get an error on line Conn.Open(). Error says SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
SQL is un and running, and I can log in using SA username from the desktop. Even if I chance IP for another SQL server in my connection string I still get the same error. There is no firewall of any kind running.
Dim connectionSTR As String = "Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=False;Server=192.168.0.202,1433;initial catalog=MyDB;user id=sa;password=;"
Dim Conn As SqlConnection
Conn = New SqlConnection(connectionSTR)
Conn.Open()
If Conn.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
MessageBox.Show("Open")
End If
About my environment: SQL Server 2000 is running on Desktop PC with Windows XP SP2. Application which I need to connect to SQL Server is in Visual Studio 2005. I execute the application in Windows Mobile PC Emulator and try to connect to SQL Server from emulator.
Your advice and help is very appreciated
Thank you

When I proposed start to use SQL Server 2005 for new VS 2005 web sites, one of my co-workers responded that
we will update the old SQL Server 2000 databases to SQL Server 2005 when we are ready to use 2005 SQL Server.
Questions:
1. Any expected problems to upgrade old 2000 databases to new 2005 SQL Server?
2. I have installed both 2005/Management Studio Express and 2000/Enterprise Manager in my PC. Any expected
problems when running both 2000 and 2005 SQL Server at the same database server?
3. What is the best configuration for running SQL Server 2005 when we have old 2000 databases? Upgade or not upgrade?
TIA,
Jeffrey
When I try to migrate a database on a SQL Server 2000 server to a SQL Server 2005 server with the Copy Database Wizard of the SQL Server Management Studio, I'm confronted with the following problem;
Performing operation...
- Add log for package (Success)
- Add task for transferring database objects (Success)
- Create package (Success)
- Start SQL Server Agent Job (Success)
- Execute SQL Server Agent Job (Error)
Messages
* The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details. (Copy Database Wizard)
When I take a look at 'Event viewer' on the SQL 2005 server, the following error is displayed;
InnerException-->An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to SQL Server 2005,
this failure may be caused by the fact
that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I already enabled the MSSQLSERVER network configuration protocols (TCP/IP and Named Pipes ).
How do I solve this problem?
My server is a dual AMD x64 2.19 GHz with 8 GB RAM running under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with service pack 1 installed. We have SQL 2000 32-bit Enterprise installed in the default instance. AWE is enabled using Dynamically configured SQL Server memory with 6215 MB minimum memory and 6656 maximum memory settings.
I have now installed, side-by-side, SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition in a separate named instance. Everything is running fine but I believe SQL Server2005 could run faster and need to ensure I am giving it plenty of resources. I realize AWE is not needed with SQL Server 2005 and I have seen suggestions to grant the SQL Server account the 'lock pages in memory' rights. This box only runs the SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 server databases and I would like to ensure, if possible, that each is splitting the available memory equally, at least until we can retire SQL Server 2000 next year. Any suggestions?
We have a new database server for SQL Server 2005. To use our old VS 2005 websites, which were connected toanother database server with SQL Server 2000, what should I do? Just change the server name of the connection stringin the Source code and/or Web.config? My preliminary testing seemed to be not effective.TIA,Jeffrey
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,
I have had SQL Server Express and Sql Server Management Studio Express installed on my machine for some time and recently tried to install a trial of SQL Server 2005 as well. (Yes, I'm migrating from Visual Studio Express to Visual Studio Professional, just as in tended!)
Everything went fine except that nothing seemed to be installed. I searched in all the obvious places - both on the Start/Programs menu and on the hard-drive: nothing.
A check under Add/Remove Programs showed that Sql Server 2005 Express was installed, but called SQL Server 2005.
So after a number of retries in which the install program kept saying that there was nothing to install, I selected every option under Advanced in the intall process. This resulted in stuff being installed and I now have SQL Server 2005 running on my machine, but no SQL Server Manager icon.
My questions are:
Where can I find the SQL Server Manager executeable?
Has anyone installed SQL Server Express, SQL Server Mangement Studio Express, SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio on a single machine successfully? If so, what order did you install them in? (I'm planning on uninstalling everything SXQL Server related and starting again.)
Thanks very much for your help.

Hi
I have created a linked server from SQL Server 2005 (SP 1) to SQL Service 2000 (SP 4) with a sql server login that is available on both servers but with different passwords and permissions.
I am getting the following error while accessing the linked server in management studio based on the scenario given below ;
------ Error Message Starts
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(SQL Server 2000 instance name)" returned message "Communication link failure".
Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 0
Login failed for user 'abc'.
------ Error Message Ends
Consider login name is abc.
Now this login abc has sysadmin rights on sql server 2005.
The same login abc has only db_datareader rights on sql server 2000 on just one database and is not associated with any fixed server role.
I have configured the linked server using the following options;
1. I have tried impersonating login from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 .
2. I have also tried specifying remote login / password option.
Anyone having any idea, would be of great help.

Salman Shehbaz.
Can I connect from a SQL Server 2005 database to a SQL Server 2000 database, without establishing a linked server connection.
I need to fire a SELECT query on a SQL Server 2000 database, but don't want to add it as a linked server. Is there any way I can do this or its not possible??
