We have installation of Dbase Engine and SSIS that is PRODUCTION, and want to replace with newer hardware. In "the old days", we built "boxname_new" and installed SQL with "sqlname_new", took PROD users off-line, and quickly renamed original boxes/SQL and new boxes/SQL to original name, copied data and off we went with upgrade.
NOW, the "renaming" option for SQL tools is not supported, but with re-installation.
Has anyone developed game plan steps for accomplishing hardware upgrade, including SQL environment swap with MINIMAL downtime for PRODUCTION environment? Can you share?
1. I created a maintenance plan using Visual Studio 2013 (nothing fancy pretty basic) 2. Using ssms 2014 I imported it (the dtsx file) under the Integration Services and it appeared there successfully 3. I connected to the Database Engine again using ssms 2014 - my expectation was to see it under the Management > Maintenance Plans folder but it was not present.
I can't install the SQL Server 2012 Express version with tools downloaded from [URL]
I'm getting the following error:Â
Error installing SQL Server Database Engine Services Instance Features Could not find the Database Engine startup handle. Error code: 0x851A0019
I'm trying to install a new stand-alone version with a default instance but always getting this error. From the features I'm installing the database engine services (not the replication), all the tools, only the basic management toolds and the SQL Client connectivity SDK.
Further in the installation I'm choosing the Windows authentication and in the list of SQL administrators I've already tried to install as current user but also as System. Both with the same error result.
Following upgrade to SSRS2005, Reporting Services worked EXCEPT from within applications or from scheduled jobs. Running reports from application-generated URL€™s produced the following error: €˜An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details€™. These same reports, however, ran perfectly from within SSRS. After running them once from Reporting Services, they subsequently run without problem when called by applications or jobs.
Examples of these errors include the following (stack traces available if needed):

It appears that after the upgrade Reporting Services was attempting to use non-existent or invalid chunks and snapshots to satisfy application or job originated requests. When first called from within SSRS, the old chunk was accessed but then appears to have been ignored, with subsequent calls running without a chunk. Our workaround for the problem was to manually run each of our 200+ reports from within SSRS to €˜initialize€™ them for applications and jobs.

Environment: 32-bit WK3 Enterprise R2 SP2 with single instance of SQL2000 SP3 hosting SSRS2005 SP2 metadata; IIS running in 6.0 isolation mode; separate dedicated IIS server; dedicated domain user accounts for service accounts and application pools. Over 200 reports deployed, half of which are run by users from within applications.
SSRS upgrade process: backup up existing databases, settings, keys; uninstall SSRS2000; perform €˜files only€™ install of SSRS2005 to existing SQL2000 instance; manually configure SSRS2005 and IIS; upgrade reporting services databases.
This is a followup of a previous posting to this forum 30-May 6:28 pm UTC: Problems following SSRS database upgrade.
I have finished a change request from our client. I need to update clients' database with the one in developments.Here is the changes i made to database:Added/Changed some tablesAdded/Changed some stored proceduresAdded data to some dictionary tableThe data in clients' current database MUST be kept. So how can I merge the changed information to clients' database?
Need to set up a linked server in two node SQL Cluster pointing to a standalone SQL thru security setting "be made using current login's security context". It's double hop Kerberos setup. Cluster uses a domain account, so we manually set SPNs for that account with both instance name and protocol as well (set up these SPNs with SQL virtual name only).
Also, constrained delegation has been  set to that stand alone SQL services (MSSQLSvc).
Both SQL cluster and standalone servers are in same domain, cluster service account is domain account and standalone SQL uses default SQL local service account.
Coming to SQL, when I create linked server, sometimes it lets me create without issues and sometime it throws this below warning and even if I create it won't work.
 Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY/ANANOMOUS LOGIN'.Â
I noticed accidentally today on my PATH and discovered that I have several variables for different sql versions. I can understand this as I have upgraded from 2008, to 2012 then 2014. Here are the list of variables
If you have your Data, Logs, System and TempDB all in VMDK's and those VMDK's are formatted to 64K and then reside on Clustered Storage that is formatted as 4K, which is then running through a SAN controller that is reading and writing in 2MB chunks, is there value in formatting the SQL drives as 64K? Also, would it be better to format the Clustered Storage as 64K? Is this a situation in which formatting the SQL drives as 64K is becoming a moot point?
I am trying to set up log shipping in a clustered server environment. I am pretty confused about the location of the shared folder to be created to put backup created by  log shipping job. Which drive should I use either local or clustered shared drive to store the backups in primary server and  to copy the same in secondary Server?
I'm wondering if anyone has a written project plan for upgrading a server to 7.0 from 6.5. I'm looking to make this upgrade myself shortly. I would appreciate any dialog, or a written working plan. Thanks,

I have one maintenance plan for full backup to run at midnight daily, but somehow it runs another one at 11:40PM which I don't have plan for it. I can see it happened twice by opening job history. They all use same maintenance plan.
The only difference, I can see is in the message, one is "The job succeeded. The job was invoked by Schedule 112(Daily Backup.subplan_1)", the one I did not expect has message "The job succeeded.
The job was invoked by user sa". How to find this job that invoked by user sa and delete it? Again I can only see one job for full backup , but I can see it happened twice from view job history.

I've been charged with architecting a new SSRS solution for our environment. We're mainly a .NET shop which works with an Oracle Database Server. Our developers want to start using SSRS for report creation and I'm not sure what is the best approach when it comes to this. Normally most of our environments have 3 separate servers, each one is DEV, QA and Prod. With SSRS however, i know that you can create multiple folders each with its own datasource connection, so i wonder if it would be better to just have one server were the developers develop their reports and then move them into a 'production' folder. (Any particular downsides to this approach?)
Also, are there considerations to be taken say, to tune Production SSRS vs a development SSRS or is that not really an issue? Besides that any other resources or tips for implementing SSRS for the first time, we're not going to do much with the actual databases to start we're just going to connect to our main Oracle database.Â
We are developing a windows application (Distributed via ClickOnce) and hosting the SqlServer 2005 at our company. Now, we need to add reporting services to our application and I've stumbled upon some problems.
First off, each customer has their own database on the same SqlServer instance. What I would want, and need guidance for, is the following..
1. I want each customer to be able to use the Report Builder to login and access a model only targeted against their database (maybe using some sort of sql user account?).
2. I want each customer to be able to login to Report Manager and save/edit their own reports targeted solely for their database.
3. If possible, is there a way to script this for easy creation when we acquire a new customer.
4. If this is not at all possible, what other solutions are there out there?
I’ve been looking at a bug in an application stored proc. This merely inserts 7 million rows from one table into another (empty) table.
INSERTÂ dbo.TradeDataPrimary (Id, SinaiTrade)Â SELECTÂ ts.Id, CAST(ts.XmlTrade AS varbinary(MAX)) FROM dbo.TradePrimary ts
Both tables have a clustered index with the same key order (on the first column) but the query optimizer insisted on placing a SORT step in the query plan. This use a lot of tempdb which I wanted to avoid.
I discovered that the bug was a data type mismatch. Fixing the bug and/or dropping the clustered index from the target table before the insert resulted in the plan I expected, that is, with no sort.
I was hoping it would run faster but, unfortunately, as can be seen from the new plan below, a serial plan is used. This results in the insert taking nearly three times as long as the original.
I’ve been looking at Paul White’s article: [URL] .... and Adam Machanic’s: [URL] ....
Both are excellent articles but neither approaches i.e. trace flag 8649 or make_parallel () give me a parallel plan. Am I missing a trick here? How I can force parallelism? I know there are no features that require a serial zone in the plan otherwise the plan with the sort would not be parallel..
This is SQL Server 2012 Enterprise 11.0.5522.0, 512 GB of RAM and 16 procs.
I'm using Virtual PC on my WinXP PC, with two W2K3 environments runnings as Virtual PC guests. My goal is to use these virtual servers to emulate a distributed SSRS environment--prior to setting up a similar environment on physical servers.
One of the W2K3 guests is my database server; the other W2K3 guest is my report server. Just like with a physical SSRS environment, there are many choices that need to be made during the installation and configuration--any one of which, it seems, can prevent the environment from working properly.
Currently, I'm struggling with getting my virtual distributed SSRS environment to work. I could go into the details, but I figured I'd ask a basic question first: Is anyone aware of a book, magazine article, blog, etc. that goes through a distributed SSRS installation--listing the requirements, discussing the choices, considering the implications, etc.?
Off the top of my head, such a walk-through would ideally cover networking configuration issues (Virtual PC or otherwise), Active Directory considerations, Windows Firewall settings between the servers, SSRS-related service account selections, authentication between the servers, etc.
If no one has produced such a walk-through (!), I'd be happy to write one so that others don't have to deal with the same struggles I'm currently dealing with....but I'd need your help.
I am installing SSRS 2005 with the following scenario:
- Report Server and Report Manager will be installed on web server
- The repository databases (ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB) will be hosted in SQL2005 cluster server.
Both servers are running Win2003 SP1, SQL/SSRS 2005 SP1
When I try to browse the ReportServer virtual directory from IIS on the web server, the system keep asking username and password. After 3 times trials and it failed eventhough the username and password is correct.
The error message is:
HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials. Internet Information Services (IIS)
I've been searching on the web and found couple of articles talking about this issue. I've tried some of them like: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887993 or even this one: http://groups.google.ca/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.reportingsvcs/browse_frm/thread/991c9178ceab8f58/8f1a447aa60ad837?lnk=st&q=reporting+services+the+server+is+not+responding&rnum=3&hl=en#8f1a447aa60ad837
But this doesn't work.
I've checked both event viewer both web server and SQL server, but I can't see any information that tell me what had happened.
I also look at BOL, but doesn't help much.
Is there anyone can help me or point me to the right direction? Is there any guide document that explains step-by-step how to install SSRS in my scenario or similiar?
I have recently upgrade from MS SQL 2000 to MS SQL 2005. The maintenance plan disappeared. Although the jobs are still around and running. What issues might arise from this? Thanks..
I have two queries yielding the same result that I wanted to compare for performance. I did enter both queries in one Mangement Studio query window and execute them as one batch with the actual query plan included.Query 1 took 8.2 seconds to complete and the query plan said that the cost was 21% of the batchQuery 2 took 2.3 seconds to complete and the query plan said that the cost was 79% of the batch.The queries were run on my local development machine. I was the only user. No other programs were running at the time of this test. The results are repeatable.I understand that the query with the lowest cost is not necessarily the fastest query. On the other hand, the difference is quite big. The query that has approx. 80% of the cost takes 20% of the time and the other way around. I have two questions:
Is such a discrepancy normal?Can conclusions be drawn from the cost distribution? For instance, does the query that takes 8.2 seconds but only costs 21% scale better?
We know we can use the event lock_deadlock and xml_deadlock_report to capture the deadlock info, however I also want to capture the execution plans for all of the SPIDs in the deadlock graph, how to output the execution plans to the extended events trace results either ? such as if there is an action for execution plan or workaround for it ?If there is no built in action for execution plan , may I know if we can add the customized info to the extended events results file also ? Such as when the deadlock related event happens , then we can run a query to get some info ,then added the info along with other info such as sql_text, dbname etc  to the events trace results file either ? The reason is if we also know the execution plans when the deadlock happens, it is useful to turning the query based on the execution plans to reduce deadlock happening .
I am setting up sharepoint and sql server integration environment. I am considering the following topology: PowerPivot for SharePoint 2013 and Reporting Services in SharePoint mode Two Server Deployment
[URL]
I am looking to follow the topology example by the letter, which involves installing PowerPivot for SharePoint (aka SSAS in SharePoint mode) in the same server as my SQL, and installing SSRS in SharePoint (SP) integrated mode in the same server as SharePoint.
I understand, however, that if I wanted to install SSRS in SP mode in the same server as SQL, I could but only if the server contains the SP Object Model.
My first question is, what would involve having the SP Object Model in the SQL Server?
Would only installing SP binaries be enough; or Do I need to do a minimal install of SP in the SQL server enough for it to joing the SP farm? And most importantly, what would be the licensing implications for SP in case I want proceed down this route and have SSRS in SharePoint mode installed in the same server as the SQL?
Just downloaded and installed mssql 2005 sp2 on one of our servers
All components upgrade apart from the database engine. After the first upgrade i rebooted then tried to update the db engine again it failed for a second time.

I have set up database mail in SQL 2005. We have an MS Exchange group that is alerted when SQL jobs fail. Two things ; i) I can't seem to be able to use Exchange mail Groups. If I specify the group name SQL returns ;
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 1 (2007-10-30T15:40:39). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.). If Exchange cannot be used in the way that Outlook did then how can we alert a group of users about SQL job failures ?
Therefore I tried specifiying an indiviual email address rather than a group ;
- sending a test message (right click database mail) using the full single email address works fine. - sp_send_dbmail using the full single email address is also fine.
ii) When a job fails the notifications do not seem to work. The Job history log just reports ; NOTE: Failed to notify 'Operator Name ' via email. The SQL Error log reports ; Message [264] An attempt was made to send an email when no email session has been established
However sysmail_help_status_sp indicates that database mail has started. The job fails to notify the operator and in this case it is a single email address.
Anybody got any suggestions, (thanks in advance) ?

Two servers are configured with Windows 2008 / SQL server 2012 utililizing Always-On for HA. We need to upgrade both servers to Windows 2012 / SQL Server 2014 with minimum downtime(Time for Always-On failover). The upgrade to SQL 2014 is straight forward with for minimum downtime.The Windows upgrade(2008 -> 2012) is the problem. From what I have observed and read in blogs.The Windows node to be upgraded must be removed from the Windows cluster before the node can be upgraded to Win 2012.A Win 2008 and Win 2012 node can not reside in the same cluster. If this is true then the only option I can think of is to dump the DB on WIN 2008 server and restore on Win 2012. This is an outage(time it takes to dump and restore).Is there any other method to upgrade these two nodes utilizing Always-On of some other method without downtime?
I have a SSIS Package which in brief moves data from one SQL data store to another. On my local machine, the package executes fines, and does what it is supposed to do, by moving data from Point A to Point B. I have both Point A(DB) and Point B(DB) on my local machine. But when I deploy this package over to ASSEMBLY which is basically another environment, I get weird intermittent errors. What should I do? Can someone give me some tips on how to do good error logging in SSIS? I am currently writing to Windows Event Log, and I seem to look at some errors that are coming thru. What else can I do on SSIS Package side, to improve error reporting and handling, so troubleshooting is faster and more effective. I just need some stable advice on how to setup my package to do error logging where troubleshooting issues in different environments is more effective. Also I need to know, what could be causing these issues? Thanks.
