We've been experiencing some problems on some of our databases ever since we've updated our servers to SP5. Backup exec seems to hang up after reaching a small number of bytes and then goes no further. I've installed the new MDACS drivers but it hasn't solved the problem.
Any ideas would be greatly apreciated!
Thank you,
i know this topic has been covered and i've searched but i can't find the answer.
-SQL server is a diffrent server than my backup server
-i've installed the sql agent option on the backup exec server
-i've installed the client network utility on the remote server
the backup server doesn't see the SQL server databases. any thoughts
could it be a security issue?
thanks!
Can anyone tell me how to RESTORE a Table, not an entire Database, to the live server.
Please Help
I've installed SQL Server 7.0 SP2 and Backup Exec 7.3.
When i try to start backup exec a dr. Watson error appears.
Backup exec doesn't start. The same effect with version 8.0 and 8.5 from Veritas Backup Exec. When i try to install MDAC 2.5 after installing Backup exec, error 90332 (?) appears. Backup exec "hangs".
When i've installed Backup exec 7.0 or 7.2 there are no problems.
(also with SQL Agent)
Does somebody know to reolve this?
Thanks! !
Does anyone want to give me a few glowing reviews for me to show my bosses? I would like to recommend this product, but the only place I am finding info (such as reviews)is tha seagate site, which may be more than a little biased.

Tonight I got this error:
Msg 8921, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Check terminated. A failure was detected while collecting facts. Possibly tempdb out of space or a system table is inconsistent. Check previous errors.
Msg 824, Level 24, State 2, Line 3
SQL Server detected a logical consistency-based I/O error: torn page (expected signature: 0x55555555; actual signature: 0x55555545). It occurred during a read of page (1:934) in database ID 12 at offset 0x0000000074c000 in file 'E:SomefolderSomedatabase.mdf'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log or system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.
Tried to restore from my local .bak file and it was giving me the same error and since I cant get my database back online I cant run the restore from tape. I did some online research and found this command:
EXEC sp_resetstatus 'BEDB';
ALTER DATABASE BEDB SET EMERGENCY
DBCC checkdb('BEDB')
ALTER DATABASE BEDB SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
DBCC CheckDB ('BEDB', REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)
ALTER DATABASE BEDB SET MULTI_USER
Didnt correct the problem and produced the same error above.
This has happened once before and I rebuit the entire backup server. That seems to not "fix" the problem because it has happened again. Does anyone have a suggestion. Keep in mind that the storage for the database is on iSCSI if that means anything but I have 11 other databases (including a BES Database) that never have any issues.
OS: Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition R2 SP2
SQL: SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition SP2
Has anyone had any problems with Seagate Backup Exec and MS SQL Server? We have been having server "lockups" occur when the Seagate Backup
Exec does it's DBCC CheckDB before it backs up the databases. The server starts repeating "lazywriter" errors which take up all the server resources
to where we have to "reboot" the server to recover. Apparently this is a known problem (per Microsoft Tech. Support). Has anyone else experienced
this problem? and if so, how did you get around it or repair it?
Jim
We are having a problem with trying to backup the database device and log DAT files located in the MSSQLData directory.
The Seagate Backup Exec. states that the files are busy and skips them during its backup cycle. It skips all the devices in the
directory.
Any suggestions?
Hi All,
I got SQL agent backup failed problem which took me 2 days , but still couldn't figure out, so tired. Help please!!!
2 days ago,the database was using my domain account to logon both SQL server and SQL agent, the backup jobs worked good. Since I changed db to another domain account which has same permission as mine at both SQL server box and database, but almost all jobs got failed except "check integrity", and the error is "The job failed. The Job was invoked by User rose. The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1).". I checked the log files and backup report, could't get any clues, and I switch domain account back to mines, it works good . But my boss required me using another domain account , what should I do? HELP!!!
Can anyone describe step by step how we specify a backup plan for our database? For example to backup our db and execute every night.
Thanks
This seems to happen just after our backups run. the result is that the SQL Server
Enterprise Manager can be brought up the next day but nothing can be accessed or
inquired of. The service is still running, the server is still up and rebooting the server
resolves the problem.

Is anybody else using Arcserve Backup Agent for SQL Server for Windows NT, RAID 5?
Have you seen this? I`ve been to MS home page and on technet. No mention of this
problem. Next stop is Arcserve home page, if they have one. I have read the error logs
and this is the second time this has happened this week. Both times since we added
Arcserve to manage our MS SQL Server Database backups.
Best Regards and Thanks for your time.

Hi,
If we were to assign permissions to a backup agent such as Backup Exec to backup the databases on the SQL server, what role would give the least amount but sufficient permissions to perform the backup? I know domain admin would make the agent a local admin and therefore allow it to back up the database but is there a role available to allow backup only?
Please note that I'm referring to a domain account used by Backup Exec to directly backup the databases rather than sql server agent.
Thanks.
Does anyone know why a backup database statement aborts a job in a stored procedure so that you can't handle the error with @@error, but when you run the same stored procedure in a query window the error handling does get run?
The snippet of code looks like this:
SET XACT_ABORT OFF
SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
set ansi_warnings off
set arithabort on
declare @backup_status int
declare @cmd varchar(1024)
SET NOCOUNT ON
print 'Options value: ' + convert(varchar, @@options)
set @backup_status = 0
if (@backup_mode = 'F')
begin
BACKUP DATABASE
@DB TO DISK = @BackupFile
with
NAME = @Name,
DESCRIPTION = @Description,
MEDIANAME = @MediaName,
MEDIADESCRIPTION = @Description,
STATS = 10,
init, nounload, noskip
if @@error != 0
begin
set @backup_status = 1
print '**************** Backup of ' + @DB + ' Failed'
end end
When this is run in a query window, the print statement at the bottom does get executed, but when run as a step in a sql agent job it does not.
Thanks.
I want to schedule a database backup using SQL Server Agent Jobs how can i do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two SQL Server 2000 (one is localhost, one is remote with VPN IP 192.168.5.4).
I can select * from [192.168.5.4].db.dbo.test but I can't exec [192.168.5.4].db..spAdd in localhost.
These select and sp is OK for 1 or 2 week without any problem,but it didn't work one day.
Can some one explain why?
when I run a package from a command window using dtexec, the job immediately says success.
DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_SUCCESS (0).
Started: 3:37:41 PM
Finished: 3:37:43 PM
Elapsed: 2.719 seconds
However the Job is still in th agent and the status is executing. The implications of this are not good. Is this how the sql server agent job task is supposed to work by design.
Thanks,

Hi All,
I would appreciate any help here at all. I am pulling my hair out!
I am unable to start the snapshot agent or log reader agent from within SQL management studio. it fails on executing step 2 with unknown username or bad password.
I have checked all account details and they are correctly using my domain admin account. I can connect to SQL using teh same account and it also has sysadmin permissions.
If i copy the step 2 paramters and start from the cmd prompt (again logged in using the same domain account) they both start fine.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
I am testing peer to peer replication in our environment. I simulated a three node peer to peer topology and a local distributor.
For some wierd reason I cannot get the Log Reader Agent and snapshot agent to start. The domain account under which SQL Server Agent runs has administrator previlage on the box. I also use a domain account for SQL Server Service. (none of the passwords changed).
This is the error I am getting - "Executed as user: abc. A required privilege is not held by the client. The step failed"
Any ideas???
Also this domain account is a member of
SQLServer2005MSSQLUsers$ServerName$MSSQLSERVER
SQLServer2005MSAgentUser$ServerName$MSSQLSERVER
We just moved source server to newer, bigger box ... Windows 2003 and Active Directory ... Snapshot agent worked but distribution failed ... Same login as on older machine, login is sysadm, used DCOMCNFG to allow ability to launch process ... What are we missing?

Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks

SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server '(local)'; SQLServerAgent cannot start).
Is any has the same problem ?
When I use EXEC in a stored procedure ( after building complex option logic) it produces an returns an error of 'Access denied' on the underlying tables.
All objects are dbo owned and execute permission has been given to all users.
Can ant one help?

When using a SP for getting a recordset is there any issues with using exec like in: rs.open "exec spWhatever"...
Should I use rs.open "spWhatever" or does it really matter performance wise on the SQL server?
Thanks
I am trying to create a awkward sp, just need to know if i can do this somehow, here i piece of the code...
create procedure IM_SP_TrPreProc /*@TableName Varchar(255),*/ @SystemFileName Varchar(255)
---------------------------------------------
--Param1 = Tablename
--Param2 = Systemfilename
---------------------------------------------
as
declare @TableName Varchar(255);--Just For Testing---DELETE!!
declare @Filename varchar(255); --Store Distinct filename
declare @DSNo Varchar(255);-- Use 'set' to execute Var TableName
declare @SumUnits Varchar(255); --Use 'set' to calculate sum of units
declare @SumValue Varchar(255);
Set @TableName = 'TrDs01' -- Testing Only--DELETE!!
------------------------Set Statements using @TableName Var------------------------------------------
Set @DSNo = 'select distinct DataSupplierNo from ' + @TableName
Set @SumUnits = 'select sum(Units) from ' + @TableName
Set @SumValue = 'Select sum(Value) from ' + @TableName
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert into TransactionMaster([FileName],DataSupplierNo,ImportFileRecordID,FileLoadDate,
UnitsSum,ValueSum,RecordCount)
Select(@Filename),(exec(DSNo)), ................
Just the Bold and underlined bit "exec(DSNo)"..... is this doable in some way? can i use exec to retrieve the value to insert to data supplier. As far as i know i have to do it like this because im using a variable as the table name...
I need help understanding the syntax of the "exec sql" statement.
i am looking at code that build an sql string such as
sql="exec SOMETHING Session("id")"
or something like that.
then, there is
conn.execute(sql)
My question is the "SOMETHING" in the sql statement...is what? I know it is user defined (object or variable or such), but what exactly is it? i look through the rest of the code and don;'t see SOMETHING defined elsewhere.
i am not sure if i am asking the question right. i don't understand what the SOMETHING is doing, or why it is there.
in particular, the code i am examining is
sql="exec SurveyDelete "&"'" & Session("StudentID") & " ' "
conn.execute(sql)
i understand the this statement will delete a record, but how does it handle "SurveyDelete", how does it know what the is when it is not defined anywhere else in the code?
Hi,
Can I execute my MDX statement as in the exhibit format!
DECLARE @test VARCHAR(MAX)
SET @test = 'WITH test AS (SELECT * FROM merchants)'
EXEC(@test)
SELECT * FROM test
If I don't use that dynamice sql statement, everything work fine.
Thanks,
Myo
Hi,
I have a written a SP to do indexdefrag to all user table indexes in a databases...I had to use dynamic sql so I can reuse this code for any DB...
declare @strsql varchar(500)
set @strsql = ' dbcc indexdefrag('+'''DBName'''+',554556545,3)'
exec (@strsql)
When I execute the above script, I immeaditely see the results in the query analyser like below:
Pages Scanned Pages Moved Pages Removed
------------- ----------- -------------
3 0 0
Looks like the indexdefrag did not happen since the logical fragmentation is still a high number like 30%.....
Just wondering whats goin on..
Thanks.

Hi, I have an sql query like this :DECLARE @TableName varchar(200), @ColumnName varchar(200), @EmployeeID varchar(200), @Result varchar(200);SET @TableName = 'Customer';SET @ColumnName = 'First_Name';SET @CustomerID = 28;-- This line return ErrorSET @Result = EXEC ('select' + @ColumnName + ' from ' + @TableName + ' where Recid = ' + @CustomerID + '');Print @Result; I am pretty sure the SELECT statement in EXEC will only return 0 or 1 record. But how to capture result from EXEC? Thanks
View 1 Replies View Relatedis it possible to have a sproc with a input parm of a column name and have this column name be inserted into an exec statement that runs and provides the output as a OUTPUT parm instead of a result set?
i can get the sproc to take the column name as a parm, run the exec, but cannot figure out how to assign the "dynamic sql" output to a OUTPUT variable instead of returning the result set.
How can i get the result from a dynamic sql like - exec('select ' + fieldName
+ ' from ' + TableName)
I found this statement in BOL and it didn't make it to work.Is anybody out there who ha the same problem?
Database is MASTER.
USE master EXEC ("USE pubs") SELECT * FROM authors
Running this dynamic sql construct gives me an error because somehow it does not accept my variable @table or it is recognised differently. If run directly no problem but apparently the single quotes are a problem.
Print @Table (db and table name: opms..transactions)
Select @sql = 'Select * From Payments where not exists (Select * from Hist Where TableName = ' + @Table + ' and sYear = '+ @Year + ' and sMonth = ' + @Month + ')'
Print @sql
EXEC (@sql)
opms..Transactions
Select * From Payments where not exists (Select * from Hist Where TableName = opms..Transactions and sYear = 2003 and sMonth = 12)
Server: Msg 1004, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Invalid column prefix 'opms.': No table name specified
Any idea?
