In SQL 2000 you can schedule a job to run each time the agent starts. I don't see that option now in 2005.
Does anyone know what happened to that or how to achieve that. I could do a stored proc with the proc option I guess but why did they remove that functionality or maybe I am not seeing it.
Thanks
SQL Server 2005 installed on Windows Vista Ultimate
When I try to start the agent, it return with the message that the service started and then stopped. On investigation I found that the Windows Event Log service won't start, returning the error:
"error 4201: the instance name passed was not recognized as valid by a WMI
data provider"
(I have posted this on Windows Vista forums but had no response).
Thanks for your help
I have database on SQL Server 2000 set up with a merge publication.This publication is configured with a number of dynamic filters toreduce the amount of data sent to each client. Each client has ananonymous pull subscription. The merge process can be triggered by thewindows sync manager and my application.To improve performance I have created some helper tables to hold themapping between user login and primary keys of selected entities.For the replicated data to be correct the contents of the helper tablesneeds to be up to date.I need to fire off a stored procedure on the publisher beforereplication starts to verify that this data is up to date. I can notsee any documented way of doing this however I have been experimentingwith some unorthodox systems.Firstly has anyone any ideas?I have been considering adding a trigger to some of the tables used bythe Microsoft replication code - yes I know this is very nasty.My problems arise because executing this stored procedure will causesome data to be updated. In updating data we could create a newgeneration in the database. I must therefore run my stored procedurebefore any the Microsoft code makes any generation checks / updates.Anyone done anything similar, Anyone have any better ideas?Any comments would be gratefully received.

I just encountered a problem with snapshot replication or, if more detailed, with snapshot agent.
My environment consist of W2K Server (sp1) and SQL Server 7.0 (sp2)
The issue is when I create publication and then start snapshot agent for initial creation of schema and articles, it fail with the error:
"An exception occurred in the Snapshot subsystem. The step failed."
Event Log registers this error with the following message:
-------------------
"Step 2 of job --- () has caused an exception in the Snapshot subsystem and has been terminated"
-------------------
the step 2 in REPL-Snapshot job is "Run Agent"
Once more detail. The metter is that this occurs not consistently but from time to time. Some publications succeed in snapshot process but others don't. And else, if I want to manually run snapshot agent for the second time after successful completion for the first, I get the same error.
Any idea?????
Thanks in advance

I have set up several jobs to run automatically throughout the day. Each job just does one thing: executes an SSIS package.
The packages themselves run perfect when I test them in Visual Studio 2005, but when the SQL Server Agent tries to run the job I am getting failed jobs.
Is there any tutorials or walkthroughs that can teach my about using the SQL Server Agent? If I wanted extensive help troubleshooting my SQL Server Agent problems which part of the message boards would I post that too?
Thanks for the info!

I have never seen this error before... When I click on DTS to either open an existing package or create a new one I get the following errors: Error in the DLL, DTS Design Error. When I try to create a new DTS it gives me the errors but still opens but I'm missing all of the connection objects except for MS data link and other connection. I had no problems designing and executing the packages from a development box. I'm not even refering to the typical scheduling problems that exist when SQL Agent is configured incorrectly!
We need to start a job automatically when SQL Server 6.5 automatically starts.
Like adding a user into tempdb.
Is there any clue?
I am trying to move SQLMail from a standard SQL 6.5 server to a virtual clustered SQL Server. The exchange profile has been set up and the services are running on a domain login. Exchange is also running as a clustered service which is being used successfully from the standalone SQL Server with SQL Mail.
However, when the SQL Mail service is started on the Clustered SQL Server, the service starts for about 5 seconds and then stops. The logs report that SQL Mail started but no messages are recorded to state that why the service has stopped again.
Any clues anyone please?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello, I€™m creating a cube with Analysis services 2000 and SQLServer 2000 that has the following structure:
The fact table has a primary key and some measures:
Fact_Table
PKFact (the primary key)
Measure 1
Measure 2
And I have some dimensions, but I€™ll put here the one of interest, this dimension has a foreign key to the fact_table, this is because it is really a €œdetail€? of the fact table, the interesting thing here is that this dimension not only has a foreign key to the fact_table, but also is a parent-child dimension:
Dimension_Table
FKFact (the foreign key to the €œPKFact€? field of the fact table)
PKId (The id of the field for the parent-child relationship)
FKParentId (the foreign key to this same table, this is, the parent of the field)
TheLevel (the data€¦)
So, if I create the cube without the Dimension_Table (of course, I have more dimensions), the cube shows the data correctly, but when I include this dimension, the data of the fact_table starts to be repeated once for each row in the dimension table (once for each row that has the relation PKFact €“ FKFact of course), Somebody knows how I can avoid this data being repeated? I€™ve tried a lot of things but none works.. Please help!!
Thanks in advance.

How would I write a query on a table containing a column of ints, where I want to retrieve the rows where that int value starts with a number? I know that you can do this with strings by using "....WHERE thisfield LIKE ('123%')", but if 'thisfield' is an int, how would I do this? Thanks!

I have a laptop with vista and sql 2005. When i start my computer, after it boots up and is ready to go, I look in the task manager at the process tab. Some sort of SQL Server component is running and eating up about 50k's worth of memory. What is it and how do set either Vista or SQL Server to not start whatever this is unless I do it manually(oh yeah...how would I turn it on?)and what are the ramifications of not having it start up when i start my laptop?
I know it is a rather rambling question, but its the best I can describe it. Thanks in advance for your help!
I have just installed SQL Server 2005. The machine had an expired version of SQL Express on it which I removed. Now when i go to open the Management Studio it says it can't connect. When I check the service, it is set to automatic using the local account but is not running. When I start it, it throws an error stating that it started and then stopped. The first error record in the log file states:
Server TCP provider failed to listen on [ 'any' <ipv4> 1433]. Tcp port is already in use.
Could this be causing the problem? How do I check to see what is using 1433? In general, what the heck did I do wrong during the install? One article said something about the new installation thinking it was still the expired version. Could there be something left in the registry from the old version of Express causing this?
Thanks in advance for the help
I've created a FullTextCatalog on one of my Databases and added a full text index on one of my text columns.
The first time I run a query against the data it takes roughly 40-45 seconds to return data. After that it blazes and runs in under a second. If I don't query it for 20-30 minutes, it will take 40-45 seconds again and then fly until the next break.
Is there a configuration setting somewhere that I'm missing on this? Currently the Index is only about 5MB so it should take that long to read in when I'm querying it.
I don't think it has anything to do with size because the actual return can contain anywhere from 10-80K rows and the speed is about the same.
I'm using Standard edition on a 2003 Standard Server if that plays into the potential problem at all. We're currently downloading and installing the new Service Pack to see if that fixes it, but for some reason I'm not holding my breath. I'm assuming that there is something we need to change in the configuration.
Let me know if I'm missing any pertinent information. Thanks.

1. for all ReportId, child items's ItemOrder  = 0
2. example, for ReportId = 5, both child items ("Item1-Child1" & "Item1-Child1") of parent "Item1" has ItemOrder = 0
I need to,
1. update all child items with ascending numbers starts with 1 against each parent and each report.
2. for each different parent or different report, order by should starts with 1 again.
We have two instances of SQL Server 2005 - SP1 installed on one server. The default instance starts very slowly. When looking at the log I can see the delay is due to Resource Manager based upon the following error.

What does this mean?
What would cause this to happen?
How do I resolve the problem?

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 have created a report in SSRS 2005 which is being viewed by users from different Time Zones.
I have a dataset which has a field of type datetime (UTC). Now I would like to display this Date according to the User Time Zone.
For example if the date is August 07, 2007 10:00 AM UTC,
then I would like to display it as August 07, 2007 03:30 PM IST if the user Time Zone is IST.
Similarly for other Time Zones it should display the time accordingly.
Is this possible in SSRS 2005?
Any pointers will be usefull...
Thanks in advance

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?

Hello everybody,
There is some strange behaviour i've recently noticed while watching synchronization progress in Replication Monitor on SQL 2005 Server Standard with merge replication configured. The merge process seems to repeat several times.
This is the initial synchronizaion (reinitalization at the subsciber). Client is using Microsoft.SQLServer.Replication objects from .net framework assemblies.
The synchronization starts normally (status is "Running"). The last message of selected session box shows (among other messages): "Beginning evaluating partial replication filters" then "Finished evaluating partial replication filters" and finally "Merge completed after processing xxx changes... etc." after a few seconds. Status changes to "Completed" and then... the merge process starts again!! "Beginning evaluating partial replication filters" etc. And this repeats about 15-20 times.
And so whole process takes about 15 minutes instead about 45 seconds to complete initial synchronization. The number of changes is "Merge completed after processing ..." never change since the first such message.
Is this some bug in web synchronization or some invalid configuration setting? Why does merge process repeat itself so many times??
Please help, thanks in advance.

It seems to work fine with one million records.
Each primary key is unique, but the begindate is non-unique, and i guess even if i use datetime2 and add nanoseconds, from what i have read, there is a chance that i could have a duplicate datetime since the date is imported via XML from multiple sources.
