Oct 14, 2002I need to refresh a test db that is running on the same instance as the prod db. Should I just use DTS or is there a better way?

DB Engine :: Replicate A Master Test Database To 100 Test Environments?
Oct 12, 2015We are setting up a test lab environment with 100 machines. We want one master testing db that gets replicated to each to run scripted application tests nightly.
My goal is to minimize the amount of work to move this thing to each of the 100 test machines. I am wondering if we need to even have the sql local and invest in a monster db server with 100 copies of the db we restore and each test machine point to their own db on that server, or if I should use db mirroring or something to get the master test db to each of those machines instead.
Unit Testing For SSIS - To Test Or Not To Test?
Oct 17, 2006Now that we have a good programming model in SSIS - the question is whether to write automated unit tests for your packages, and would it generally be a good idea for packages?
Also - if yes to write tests - then where to find more informations regarding How to accomplish that?

Automatic Refreshing
May 9, 2007I am wondering if it is possible to have a report generated by RS refresh periodically automatically. This could be realized by inserting a few lines of JavaScript to the report including the reload() function, but I do not know if there is anyway to do such thing.
Thanks in advance for any tip!

Jul 19, 2007Hi All,
I had an interesting problem come up today. I have a report that when you preview on vs or click view report on the report server, the report continually refreshes itself. I cannot see that I have written anything different in this report than any other report.
I saw one other append here on a continually refreshing report but that was linked to a document map and this report has not document map.
Has anyone seen this problem of a continually refreshing report?
It's not a big deal as I figure I will just have to write it from scratch again, but I am interested to see if I can stop it before I re-write it.
Thanks in Advance

Refreshing Database Before Restart
Jun 8, 2007
i am running a game from a dedi box .. ms sql..
and every time i restart and put it back up ,,,,it rewinds the database
the only way i can prevent this is if i restart the server
wait a phew hours then put it back up ,,"which makes it the same way it was when i logged off"
i was told that sql database servers refresh every hour.
is there a way i can make it refresh before i restart it so then i can put the server straight back up
if i restart the server back up straight away it does a rewind for some reason.
tech ::
the server does a rewind because it wouldn't have saved the game so to speak - as in updated everyone's characters. So yes waiting is the only way as far as I know to save the game.

END
It is working fine but I have problem with this kind of paging. I need to load the whole data into the cursor and i have to fetch records. The problem is that my table's contains more than Half a million records in it. If I have to load each time this cursor it will be a very big problem on the server side.
Probably it may not be a best solution, but sqlserver 2000 cannot provide more help than this. If I use sub-query for this like using Top <Number> it adversly effecting the nature of the data retrieval.
One solution that I am thinking is Load cursor once and whenever some updations performed on those tables from which cursor is getting data should be automatically reflect the changes.
Is this possible? Please help me.

SQLDatasource && Schema Refreshing (with Parameters)
Apr 9, 2006Hi,
I'm having serious issues trying to refresh a schema in a SQLDatasource. It is hooked to a stored procedure that takes two varchar(39) parameters. The default parameters in this case are '%'. Note I am working in the designer.
If I set it up as a stored proc, I can't even get the 'test query' to run in the builder.
If I set it up as a select statement, ala 'exec <procname> @p1, @p2', the 'test query' will run.
In neither case will hitting refresh schema work. It returns 'Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function'
The stored proc is nothing special, simply returning a select based upon the parameters.
Thanks,

Automatically Refreshing OLAP Cubes...
Dec 14, 2000Can someone tell me how you can automate the refresh of OLAP Cubes? I just inhereted a data warehouse running on SQL7 and the idea of having to go in and manually refresh the cubes everyday is, well... stupid. I can't believe that they've been doing this for a year. Unfortunately, I'm not familar enough with MSOLAP yet and I can't figure this out. Any tips?

Need To Create Package For Refreshing The Cubes
Apr 4, 2008
We have scenario where we need to create package for refreshing the cubes. Let me explain it breifly.
We are doing ETL process in different ETL tool (not SSIS) and once the process is done, we are inserting in a table where we have a column like date, Completed C as the status. Once we get this information i.e 'Completed C' status and date, we need to refresh the cube like as follows,
1. Previous day cube need to be refreshed daily once
2. Previous week cube need to be refreshed weekly once.
3. Previous month cube need to be refreshed monthly once.
4. Historical cube need to be refreshed daily once.
We have decided all these above operations needs to be done in SSIS. In this case what are the things to be done while creating a package.
1. What are the control flow items to create it in SSIS?
2. Is there any way to have pooling like every 10 minutes to check whether the table has 'Completed C' status and STOP EXECUTE this package?
3. Is there any way to check the date for Previous day cube, Previous week cube, Previous Month cube and Historical cube etc?
Thanks in advance,

Update Statements Delay And Datagrid Refreshing
Mar 28, 2006I have been posting to the Data Presentation Controls forum for about a month regarding a problem I've been dealing with.
http://forums.asp.net/thread/1223055.aspx
What it boils down to is that on a button click event, I was updating
some records, then re-executing a SELECT statement to get the records
back out and rebind my DataGrids. This was happening too quickly
and the data was not being updated in time before the SELECT was
executed. So my grids would still display "old" data.
How do I get SQL Server to commit the UPDATE before my C# code continues?
SSRS 2000 Data Not Refreshing In Report

Refreshing Metadata Of Transformations In The Data Flow
Jan 10, 2007Hello,
I created a slowly changing dimension object and used an OLE DB Source object with a SQL Command to feed it. After all the SCD objects are created, I get a warning about a truncation which might happen.
I adjust the source query with the right converts, so the query uses data types and lengths which match the target table. I update the OLE DB Source with the new query. Column names are unchanged.
Now how do I get this data flow to reflect the new column lengths? Do I have to throw away all objects and recreate the SCD? The refresh button in the SCD object doesn't do it. This is also a problem when adding columns to your dimension table. Because I modify the stuff that the SCD generates, it's VERY teadious to always have to throw it all away and start over again.
Thnx. Jeroen.
Document Map Pane Refreshing ENTIRE Page!
Jul 10, 2006I am using the ReportViewer control with SRS2005. I have an extremely large report (243 pages) - however. It takes an extremely long time to load the report as well as populate the document map pane.
When one clicks a link in the document map pane, it refreshes the entire page - and thus causes the report to take another 2-3min to repopulate the document map.
However, if I were to access the Report Server directly, clicking a link only causes the main content page to be refreshed.
This is a substantial difference between selectively refreshing as opposed to refreshing the ENTIRE page and hence taking 2-3min between links.
I am defining the report as:
<rsweb:ReportViewer ID="rvMain" runat="server" AsyncRendering="true" ProcessingMode="Remote" ShowParameterPrompts="False" OnPageNavigation="rvMain_PageNavigation" Width="100%" Height="800px" DocumentMapCollapsed="False" DocumentMapWidth="300px">
</rsweb:ReportViewer>
Refreshing A Development Database With Production Data
Jan 17, 2007Hello,
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
ReportViewer Control - Page Navigation Not Refreshing
Jan 17, 2008I am using a ReportViewer Control inside of a Windows Form and ran into an issue with the page navigation failing to update upon refresh (the report itself does refresh - the page navigation does not). If the initial report has one page and the subsequent refresh produces five pages, the page navigation window only shows one page. If you manually type in page two or three, nothing happens.
Here is a code snippet:
private void adpTaxServicesForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.reportViewer.RefreshReport();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.reportViewer.SuspendLayout();
this.reportViewer1.RefreshReport();

Refreshing Data In Hyperion Essbase Cubes

Normally I would be using SSAS but our finance department make use of Hyperion Essbase. I was wondering whether it was possible to upload data into an Essbase cube using SSIS in the same way that you can use the Analysis Services processing task? I realise there are no specific task for Essbase, but are there any suggestions about what would be the best way of going about this?

SSRS 2005 SP1 Report Parameters Not Refreshing
Aug 24, 2007I am having issues getting my report parameters to refresh when changing their values. I am running SP1 and am trying to mimic the functionality of the Select All for the multi-valued drop-down list. I have a boolean field that I pass to the query that populates the multi-valued list and set a field value to either what is displayed in the list or a -1 (a non-valid option). I then set the default value of the multi-valued list to the value of the new field I created in the query based on if they want to select all values or not.
This works great on the first choice, if I select no, nothing is checked in the list and if I select yes then everything is selected. However, if I select Yes and select No, everything remains checked. It acts like it does a refresh, but does not.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?
Thanks

SQL 2012 :: Refreshing MSDB SSIS Packages From One Server To Another
Mar 25, 2015I was recently tasked with creating an automated process to refresh SSIS packages from MSDB on one server to another and I decided to go the route of using Powershell, however this wasn't as straight forward as I originally imagined so I thought I would share my solution in case others encounter the same request. The below PowerShell code will create all Integration Services folders from the source MSDB (that contain SSIS packages) on the target instance of MSDB then copy all packages to the proper folder locations. The /QUIET option is used to automatically overwrite packages that already exist on the target so make sure you want to overwrite the current versions of your packages before executing.

Just realized my cube data source on the dev server, was in fact still configured with my local workstation name. Once I updated that, processed the cube all was well.
Problem With Data Refreshing After Insert Or Update Statement
Mar 18, 2008Dear All,
Im using VS2008, visual basic and SQL Server express.
General questions please: Is it necessary, to issue some sort of command, to 'commit' data to a SQL express database after a INSERT or UPDATE sql command?
I'm getting strange behavior where the data is not refreshed unless i exit my app and re-enter. In other words, i can run a sql command , the data is apparantly saved (because i get no errors) then if i refresh a data set or do a sql select query the data that i expect to return is not there.
Im fairly new to SQL express (and SQL server generally) so i dont know if its my coding or i need to switch some 'feature'
on/off or not.
I hope thats clear
Also, could someone point me to documentation that explains each parameter in the connection string
Many Thanks
Chris Anderson
My code is:
ConnectionString = "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:myfile.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
Connection = New SqlConnection

'''''''''''''''''the above code is done at the start of my application

I am getting "Insufficient base table information for updating or refreshing" Error some times. This Code executes in a Multi user Environment.
I tried to recreate this error condition on my local system by Deleteing/Updating the Reocrds from the table and even locking the table.
I get this error "Row cannot be located for updating. Some values may have been changed since it was last read."
Are both of these errors connected? or is there any way i can get rid of this error
The Code is somethng like this
Set objRs = New ADODB.Recordset
objRs.CursorLocation = adUseClient
objRs.Open strSql, SQLCON, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
If (Not objRs.BOF) And (Not objRs.EOF) Then
