Refresh Data From Production To Development

Jul 23, 2005

Hi all, I've been assigned a task of refreshing data from the
production env to development env.

what i got is a backup file of a db in the prod env, i now need to
make that into the development env.

I can restore it to the dev env no problem, but the warnings i got are
that the tables owner in prod and dev env need to be different, that
is, owner is A in prod env and owner is B in dev env.

So I need to:
1) restore the db in dev env
2) change table owner from A to B
3) change related triggers
4) change related views

Can anyone suggest me an approach that is most efficient?

Thanks a lot.

Nov 9, 2006

Hi
Can we use BCP AND/OR BULK INSERT to do development server databse refresh from production server . I have to do this by following the rules below:

- no truncation of source table
- update of changed or new records only.


I know we can use replication, dts and other methods for this but I need information about this one.

Development - Production Data Access

Aug 10, 2005

Hello All,I have been searching for a published document for Best Practicesconcerning access levels based on roles. Should developers have morethan (if at all) select level access to production data? If Iunderstand (from multiple postings) that it is best to have:1. Development (developers have extensive access levels)2. Test (developers have restriced access levels)and3. Production (developers have none or select level access)Our environment and budget only allows for items 1 and 3.If any body could point me to a document from a 'reputable' source, Iwould greatly appreciate it.TIABill

Refreshing A Development Database With Production Data

Jan 17, 2007

Hello,

I am trying to refresh a test database with data from a production database. Both database structures are identical, e.g. constraints, stored procs, PK, etc. I am trying to create a package in SSIS that accomplishes this task and I am having extensive problems. The import export wizard is out of the question because the constaints are not carried over, plus when I try to refresh the data using the import export wizard, it fails on 1 specific table because of a column in that table named "Error code". I think "Error code" is a micrsoft keyword, so it fails on this column. Does anyone know a workaround that I can do to accomplish this simple task, that could be completed in minutes using DTS. I understand that SSIS is not as straight forward as DTS, but this task is something that DBA's do on a regular basis and therefore should not be this difficult.

Any help would be appreciated,

David

Data Source Deployment Best Practises Supporting Development, Test, And Production Environments

Feb 4, 2008

We are setting up a new Reporting Services 2005 enterprise reporting tier that will support multiple developers, applications, and end users. We will have mirrored environments including development, test, and production each with their own database cluster, and reporting server.

We have multiple report developers who share a single Visual Studio solution which is saved in SourceSafe and is setup to have separate report projects for each business unit in the orgainzation. Each report project is mapped to a specific deployment folder matching the business unit. Using the Visual Studio Configuration Manager, we can simply flip to the envirnoment we want to deploy to and the reports are published to the correct environment and folder structure.

My problem lies with the common data sources. We are using a single master Common Data Sources folder to hold all of the data sources. The trick is that each and every reporting folder seems to have to have it's own copy of the data source in visual studio. There does not seem to be an easy way to change the data sources for the reports when you publish to various environment, i.e. development, test, production etc.

Ideally, we would have a single project for the common data sources that all reporting projects and associated folders would map to, and we would have a way to associate the appropriate data source for each environment when we deploy.

I'm looling for best practices on how to setup data sources for development and deployment in an enterprise environment that uses Visual Studio to develop and publish reports. We have 3 environments, and 6 data sources per environment and about 20 reporting folder / project in Visual Studio. That's 360 changes that have to be manged when deploying reports. Is there a best practices way to do this?

There has got to be a better way? Can anyone give me some insite into how to set this up?

Thanks!

Say we want to do weekly refresh prod to staging.
I want to use that as a model template for me to develop the package.
i would need one package for refresh one specific database

Transferring Changes From Development To Production

Nov 27, 2000

we have a situation where modifications to the stored procs and views keep happening in the development databse environ while there is a live production database also up and running.

periodically we need to ensure that the development and the production are in synch where all changes made to dev are transferred to prod. however the entire prod database obviously cannot be overwritten as it contains production data. therefore what we need to do is to transfer all SPs and Views from the development to prodn. ( we do not prefer incremental transfers as there are many SPs and views and we can never really be sure that all changes have been transferred )

the obvious way is to script out all SPs and views in dev and run the scripts in prodn. but what we encountered was the enterprise manager does not script out the objects in heirarchical sequence - ie parent objects first and then the objects that refer the parent objects. this leads to errors when running the scripts as the objects required for the creation of a SP, say another SP run from within that SP , may not have been generated by then as the "contained" SP is lower in the alphabetical order in which SQL server scripted out the objects.

finally we had to look at each and every error and manually set the process right.

moreover in the way we did things the "sysdepends" table got all screwed up and therefore we can no longer depend on enterprise manager to show dependencies within the database.

is there any elegant way of going about this ? we also tried transfer manager in DTS but it also gave the same error. moreover can the sysdepends table be rebuilt from scratch ?

Managing Development & Production Databases

Jun 6, 2000

Hello everyone,

I have a question about how to efficiently develop on a development version of a database and get those changes over to the production database without loosing live data, etc.?

Here is how we are trying it:

1 Export production database to temp database(exact copy)
2 Delete production database
3 Export development database (definition only, no data) to new database with production database's name
4 Export production (temp) database (data only) over to new production shell

We are having truncate errors due to FK constraints.

Is there a better way?

Thanks for all help

Query Runs On Production And Not On Development?

Jun 30, 2014

I have two servers: one production and one development. There is a third party query that runs on both servers. Yes, the query is poorly tuned - I cannot change it. In production, it runs in 54 minutes. In development, I have tried to let it run for days and it never completes.

Here's what I have tried so far:

Compared the settings of production vs. development. The settings are very similar - the development box is larger, 4 times more memory.

Max degree of parallelism is the same on both boxes.

No compression on both boxes.

The production server is fairly busy, the development server is empty - this is the only process running on it.

Plenty of free disk space.

Updated all statistics on all databases touched by the query on dev.

Indexing is the same on both boxes.

The development box is running MSSQL2012.

The production box is running MSSQL2008R2.

What I've noticed:

The query consumes a massive amount of CPU time.

HUGE number of reads (16 million reads for 10 writes according to sp_WhoIsActive)

Largest wait types are CXPACKET, SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD and TRACEWRITE respectively.
wait_typesum_wait_time_mspct_wait_timesum_waiting_tasksavg_wait_time_ms

How To Manage Development And Production Servers??

Jan 9, 2008

Hi everyone,

I really need your help!! How you manage development server and production server?

My current situation:
Our programmers develop new Stored Procedures on development server. When all testing is completed, we then deploy them to production server.

Challenges:
Programmer (Eric) modified a Stored Procedure (SP_1) on development server. He did not deploy it on production server because SP_1 is not completed yet.

Programmer (John) got request and needed to modify SP_1 on development server

So now there is a problem in SP_1. if John deploy SP_1 on production server, it will overwrite the current version and cause errors.


Anyone can solve this problem? Will it be better if we have another testing server?

many thanks

Deploying Development Packages To Production

Aug 24, 2007



We have a system here where we develop SSIS packages on a development server. I am trying to figure out the cleanest way to promote these changes to a production server where stored procedures/tables that are used in the package are not deployed yet.

When I switch the connection in the package to the production server there are alot of objects in the package that are "invalidated" because they are trying to verify existence of tables/columns. One example is outputing the results of a query to a text file. The text file destination gets a red X on it because it cant grab the columns from the source query (because that stored procedure doesnt exist yet)

Is there a best practices or something on how to deploy packages to a production system? I have tried turning off "ValidateExternalMetaData" with no success.


Thanks!

Can Aspnetdb.mdf Be Moved From Development To Production Machine?

May 2, 2007

1.) Can an aspnetdb.mdf database be configured and setup on one server and then be moved to a production server or is there something machine specific that keeps this from being possible?  2.) Is putting this file in the app_data folder something that is used only for SQL 2005 or SQL express?  I had to set up a connection string in my SQL 2000 installation to get the connection to work.
Thanks for any input!

Datatype Problem: Development Vs Production Servers

Feb 25, 2006

This is driving me nuts: On my development machine the code runs fine
but generates an error on the production server. Both are running SQL
Server 2000 and ASP.NET 1.1

The datatype of the field in question is datetime.
The webform has a calendar for a user to select and automatically
insert the date into the textbox. The update command in the webform is:

 cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("@citation_date", CDate(txtDate.Text))

This works without a hitch on my development system, but on the production server it generates the following error:
Cast from string "19-12-1997" to type 'Date' is not valid.

WHY?

Can't Get Mdx Parameter To Refresh SQL Data Set

May 20, 2008



Hi, I have an OLAP data source that includes a date field "DateLongName" (has format e.g. May 08, 2008) , on which I checked the box when setting up the data set to indicate it is a parameter. This of course creates the attendant MDX data set that can be used for available values so that the user can pick from the various dates to choose the date they want to filter data on. So far so good.

Also in this report I have a relational data source that populates a chart that I would like to update when the user chooses the date from the above OLAP data source.

My thoughts were to create another MDX data source (called DayConstraint) like

SELECT {} ON COLUMNS, (STRTOMEMBER(@DimDateDateLongName,CONSTRAINED)) ON ROWS FROM [DailySalesCube]

Then, for my relational source, it would just be Select * from table where date=@DayConstraint

Nice in theory, but the DayConstraint variable doesn't change when the user changes the value in the olap picklist. So, the "DateLongName" has a default of previous day, so if it was May 8th, both the "DateLongName" and "DayConstraint" show May 7th. But, when you pick a different date (from the available values when the report has ran), say May 6th, the "DateLongName" changes, but the "DayConstraint" doesn't update, so of course my relational data set doesn't update.

If I pull in the DayConstraint data into a text box to look at the value (=First(Fields!Date_Long_Name.Value, "DayConstraint")), the data set is updating correctly when one changes the values in the OLAP pick list. Wish there was some way in my relational query to do something like Select * from table where date=Fields!Date_Long_Name.Value, "DayConstraint", but can't see anyway to make this work.

I am starting to think you can't use cascading parameters like this - can anyone confirm this, and if I am trying to do the impossible, any ideas on how this could be done in another fashion? Have been beating my head against the desk for a couple days on this, so any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Power Point :: Data Refresh More Than Once A Day

Jun 23, 2010

Is it possible to parameterize SharePoint so that the PowerPoint data refresh is done more than daily ? There is a daily, weekly and monthly entry in the configuration panel, but it seems there is no way to do it more frequently. Sounds rather odd, as there are lots of businesses where the refresh must be done (and can be done) during lunchtime...

I am open to any non-standard solution : SharePoint web service, capturing the HTTP frame when changing the parameter with the ASAP checkbox activated and replaying it later.

I am sending a GUID to a form via the query string.  If it exists I use helper functions to load most of the form text boxes.  However, if it does not then a blank form is presented and the GUID is stored in a hidden field. 
Regardless, I use this hidden field to populate a grid that is attached to a sqldatasource.
If I then add new datarows to the backend database programmatically, I cannot 'requery' the datasource to include those row upon a postback.  I cannot seem to find a simple way to force the sqldatasource to rerun the query.

Power Point :: Hourly Data Refresh On SharePoint?

Aug 28, 2013

I have SharePoint 2010, which I have uploaded a PowerPivot model onto.

Currently it doesn't seem like I could setup the Data Refresh service to refresh my model more frequent than once a day. The Data Refresh configuration page looks like this:

Which doesn't show an option for anything more frequent than daily.

I have also tried to refresh the model's database directly on the Tabular SSAS instance (which SharePoint is using to store PowerPivot models) via SSIS or XMLA, but I get an error saying the tabular model is in "ReadOnly" mode, which I could potentially bypass (by detaching and re-attaching the model), but thats starting to sound abit too hacky.

Is there any way I could refresh my SharePoint uploaded PowerPivot model more than once daily?
