Problem With Linked Server Stored Proc In A Maintenance Plan

Feb 12, 2007

Hello there,

I have a scenario where I need a few stored procs to auto-execute on an hourly basis so I thought it would be nicely done in a maintenance plan job list. I have experience with this in sql 2000 but I am struggling with sql 2005.

I have been struggling with my maintenance plan to successfully run the 2 jobs that it has to complete:
1) execute a stored proc that creates/updates a client in the Client table on the local server
(This step works fine without hassles)
2) execute a stored proc that synchronizes this entry with a database on another server. This stored proc works fine outside the maintenance plan, but inside the maintenance plan job it gives me an error :
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. Cannot roll back T1. No transaction or savepoint of that name was found. [SQLSTATE 25000] (Error 6401)

I have tried looking on the net and forum to see whether i can solve this but i am stuck. What do I have to keep in mind executing this stored proc as a maintenance plan? What am i missing.

Thanks for any advice
Mike

Cached SQL Plan Vs. Stored Proc Plan

Dec 12, 2002

We have a debate in our team about embedded SQL vs. Stored Procs.

The argument is why use SP's if you can embed the SQL in the code and SQL2K will cache it on the fly?

I can't find any definitive information on pros and cons between the two methods.

If there are no major performance issues, or gotchas, I guess it comes down to developer preference.

SP Pros:
- Great SQL support in VS.NET (dev, debug, integration)
- Seperation of database specific code from middle tier.
- Less lines of code in middle tier
- VS.NET support for .xsd dataset definitions.
- Logic closer to data for more demanding processes.

Embedded SQL Pros:
- Less artifacts for version control
- Better encapsulation of logic


Any info would be appreciated.

thanks

Kevin

Stored Proc Using Cursors On A Linked Server

Jul 13, 2004

As part of a nightly process, I must call a stored procedure that uses cursors to update a Sybase linked server from SQL Server. The stored proc was written by someone else and is intended to interface to a finance system to upload new transactions.

The stored proc works fine most of the time but occasionally dies part-way through with the following confusing error message:

[OLE/DB provider returned message: Internally generated command failed to affect a row.]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider' IRowsetChange::SetData returned 0x80004005: ].
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Server ********, Procedure ********, Line 162
OLE DB provider 'Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider' reported an error.

I initially ran this stored proc from a perl script via an ODBC link but in the futile hope of fixing this problem I tried manually executing it via isql.exe instead. Both return exactly the same error. I have also increased the OLE/DB query timeout to 15 minutes with no success in stopping the problem.

There seems to be no connection I can spot between when it succeeds and when it fails. When scheduled to run just after midnight it fails about 30% of the time (at a time when there should be a light load on the servers). When run manually it almost always suceeds (I have only managed to get it to fail through running manually once in dozens of attempts).

I can't seem to find anything relevant about this error via Google or any of my usual reference sources so hoped someone else might have a clue as to what the hell's going on. :confused:

The stored procedure uses a cursor to traverse a SELECT statement then performs several INSERTs, UPDATEs and DELETEs depending upon each row processed and attempts (but usually fails) to perform a ROLLBACK upon an error.

I'd appreciate any pointers in the right direction here. Is it because I'm performing cursor-based operations on a linked server? Is it due to the linked server being a Sybase server? Could it be due to locking problems or timeouts? Is my server in a bad mood and simply trying to taunt me? I'm tearing my hair out trying to find more information on this annoyingly intermittent problem and really appreciate any help or tales of similar errors.

Thanks in advance

NH: Best Practices Approach - Call Stored Proc - Or Run It Via Linked Server?

Mar 27, 2007

what pro's cons would there be to having a linked server run a local stored proc against another sql server or create that stored proc on that other sql server and call it from there in the c# code.
i would think that calling the stored proc would be more efficient that running a linked server - but please let me know your thoughts. I'm not sure i can have permission to add a stored proc on that server, so possibly the linked server is the only solution - but if i can put a stored proc on that server should i?
thanks.

Stored Proc Requesting Data Via An Exchange Linked Server

Jan 7, 2004

Hello,
I have created a MS Exchange 2000 link server in my MS SQL Server 2k. I have created a stored procedure (and a view...) using info from that linked server. When I am logged on the server as the Administrator, I can call my stored proc without any problems. When I use another computer (and I am not logged as the admin of the server) and I call the stored procedure, the following error is always raised :
Server: Msg 7302, Level 16, State 1, Procedure test_proc, Line 3
" Impossible de créer une instance du fournisseur OLE DB 'exoledb.DataSource.1'. "
<== I know it is a french error but it can be translated as : "Unable to instancied the OLE DB 'exoledb.DataSource.1' provider"

I would like to know if I can make run my stored proc in the admin account or what should I do to make it work

SQL Server DB Maintenance Plan Question

Sep 12, 2005

I have about 15, 100mb databases on my SQLserver and was wondering if my db maintenace plan was correct. I backup the db once a day, and the Transaction log gets backep up every four hours. I am also using the "Bulk-logging" option for each database. My main concern was if I ever do a manual backup of one of the dbs, will it corrupt my backup history and stop me from restoring a db sucessfully. Would simple logging be a "safer" option? I just want to have the most reliable plan in place. I would appreciate any wisdom.Thanks.

I'm trying to create a maintenance plan to backup a database, and when I go to select the database in the dropdown, I don't have any of the user databases any more. They were there several weeks ago when I first created the 'plan'.

SQL Server Maintenance Plan Did Not Work??

May 15, 2000

Can someone tell what could possibly be the problem with SQL7 not running backups that were created and scheduled using the maintance plan wizar. There is no job history, or any record of the backups running. However, I did notice that the SQL Server Agent was set to manual. Could that perhaps have something to do with the jobs not running. If possible could some give me possible solutions or answers as to why these jobs didn't run.

Thanx

Maintenance Plan Bug On SQL Server 2005

Oct 4, 2007

Hello, everyone:

I have a strange trouble on SQL Server 2005 on XP/local and Win 2003/server. When I connect local database and create a backup plan named by "backup plan", I can see the name under "maintenance plan" and "Jobs" under SQL Server Agent. But if I connect to server database and do the samething, I cannot see the name under "maintenance plan". I can see the name under "Jobs" under SQL Server Agent. But cannot delete this job, and message:

Drop failed for job "Backup Plan".(Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo).

Did someone meet this bug and have suggestions?

Thanks

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 Plan For SQL Server 2005 64-bit Doesn't Work!

Jul 5, 2007

Hi all,
We have a SQL Server 2005 64-bit, and recently I upgrade from build 3042 to 3054 and I try to do a maintenance plan for transaction logs(TL) backup, including cleanup for two days (have full backup every night).

Problem I have is that I want the TL files to dump in a different location(due to disk space), so I put in the UNC path in the "Create a backup file for every database - >Folder:\FileServerTLDBLogs"

NB: if using the local drives, it work

Check List
Security:
- The account that I used to create the plan is an sa account
- The location that I dump the TL files, I have full access to the folder

SQL Statement:
exec xp_cmdshell 'dir FileServerTLDBLogs' (it list all files)

Is this a bug for 64-bit? because I can do this on SQL Server 2005 32-bit and it's work perfectly

Transaction Log Does Not Truncate And Shrink Using A SQL Server 2005 Maintenance Plan

May 15, 2006

We are using SQL Server 2005 (SP1). I have created a maintenance plan that backs up up the datebase every night. The problem is that the transaction log is continuing to grow. I have been told that a full backup will automatically truncate and shrink the transaction log. However, this is not happening. How can I truncate and shrink the transaction log after a full backup as part of our maintenance plan. Thank you.

Check Database Integrity In Maintenance Plan Not Working In SQL Server 2005 SP2

Apr 13, 2007

I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise, then SP1 and then SP2, Maintenance Plan worked. But if I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise and then SP2 directly (skipping SP1), the Check Database Integrity in Maintenance Plan was not working. The error message is as follows:

Other tasks like Rebuild Index seem to be fine. SP2 is supposed to be inclusive. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening.

SQL Server 2008 :: Changed Database From Full To Simple - Maintenance Plan Failing

Mar 6, 2015

One of my programmers changed their database from full to Simple recovery. Saw that my job that backs up the Full Recovery mode databases failed, so I moved that database to my Simple database backup job plan and removed it from the Full Recovery job. I am unable to remove the db from the Transaction Log task on the Full Plan because when I try to edit that job "Databases with Simple Recovery will be excluded"

My transaction log backups are still failing 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.Just want to remove that database so my Full Recovery backup job does not try to back it up.

SQL Server 2008 :: Failed Task In Maintenance Plan Not Being Reported By Database Mail

Apr 29, 2015

I have inherited a server on which is a maintenance plan with two subplans on different schedules. In each subplan there are Execute T-SQL tasks with scripts for index rebuilds. Each task is set up with a Completion arrow to the next task and a Failure arrow to a Notify Operator Task. I was asked to add a task for index rebuilds to a specific subplan for a specific database, which is what the other tasks also do. I discovered that my task was failing but the others were fine. No notification was sent about my task failing even though the job is marked in MSDB as a failed job. I have sent a test email using the "Send Test Email..." option when right clicking Database Mail in SSMSand I receive an email so I know Database Mail works.

I set up a test job to model the index job that I can't get notifications from. I have two T-SQL tasks that just select the top row from a small table. The first task has a syntax error that I did so it would fail. I have a failure arrow to a Notify Operator Task and a Completion arrow to another T-SQL task with no syntax error which has a Success arrow to a Notify Operator task. As expected, when I execute this job I receive one failure email and one success email.

The only other troubleshooting step I know to try is to add a Notify Operator task before my failing task. That Notify Operator task will hopefully fire to tell me that the previous step was successful. I am not having problems with the other steps so I was just thinking I would try to get the subplan to send me a success email about one of the steps that has been working fine.

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..

Maintenance Plan

Apr 7, 2008

hi everyone..
this is a little bit weird ..
i am trying to make a backup strategy. i am using sql2005.
when i go to maintenance plan. right click >> new maintenance plan...
nothing happens..
if i go with the maintenance plan wizard everything goes normally.
after doing the backup, if i right click on it and press
modify , nothing happens too.
what i mean by nothing happens is that it doesn't open the "design view".
the back up is doing normally.. but i need to set a range of 5 days before overwriting the oldest backup.
any idea what is going on or what am i missing?!
thank you

Maintenance Plan??

Apr 9, 2008

Windows Server 2003R2 w/ Sp2
SQL 2005 w/ Sp2

Created weekly (full backup) and a daily (differential backup) Maintenance Plans using the wizard. I formatted the server, installed the OS and SQL. Restored the full backup (No Recovery Mode), then restored the differential backup (Recovery Mode), tested and all worked well.

Then I noticed the original Maintenace Plans I created (Full and Differential) were gone; makes sense as I had formatted the server.

Is there a way to create a Maintenance Plan file or script that I can save and just add back to the server??

Hope that makes sense.
Any help appreciated.

Maintenance Plan OK?

Feb 26, 2006

Hello 2 all,

Could someone advise and/or correct me with my thoughts on how I would do my db maintenance plans?

(db's on SQL2000 as 'full' model)

Backups:
1) Daily Transaction log backups scheduled frequently enough.
2) Full Backup scheduled daily. Good way to start I presume ;)

Maintenance: Would be scheduled daily if possible, on non-production hours and if not colliding with daily full BU schedule.

3) Full DB reorg data&indexes.
4) Update Query Optimizer Stats (although 'Auto Update Stats' is on)
5) Shrink the logfile (ldf) as I presume this will have grown due to previous maintenance jobs.
6) If 5 ok, alter ldf filesize back to new allocated size.

Rgds,
T.
