SQL 2005 Maintenance Cleanup Task Is Not Deleting Files On Remote File Share

Jan 16, 2008

I have the following issue with Maintenance plan backups that work for BAK DIF and TRN to a remote server share.
When I try and remove the old files with a clean up task I get an error and the files don't get deleted.


The version is as follows
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3054.00 (X64) Mar 23 2007 18:41:50
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on
Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

The error result is as follows,

Failed-1073548784) Executing the query "EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file
0,N'\\EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'\ABCD-A1\BACKUPS\ABCD_BACKUP\ABC_DAILY\ABCD',N'trn',N'2008-01-13T12:52:49'" failed with the following error: "xp_delete_file() returned error 2, 'The
system cannot find the file specified.'". Possible failure reasons: Problems
with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set
correctly, or connection not established correctly.

The maintenance plan seems to be adding extra "" though when i enter the
code directly in a query i get same error.

Query:

EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'\ABCD-A1BACKUPSABCD_BACKUPABC_DAILYABCD',N'trn',N'2008-01-13T12:52:49'

Error:

xp_delete_file() returned error 2, 'The system cannot find the file specified.'

The servers belong to the same domain and are using the same Service account which has all the necessary rights to the share and the file directory location. The backups work but i get the error on the cleanup task.

Trying to figure out how to get the Cleanup task to delete old files. The same happens for all file extensions and I have tried other locations with simpler file paths same error.


Regards,
Scott

Cleanup Task Deleting Everything - T-SQL

Apr 24, 2007

Hi all,

I created a maintenance plan with a cleanup task to delete bak files older than 4 days, but it keeps deleting everything but the current day files.

This is the generated T-SQL:

EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'F:SQLDBBACKUP',N'BAK',N'2007-04-20T11:59:30',1

Someone can tell what's wrong with it?

I've noticed that wheter if you put the condition on files' age or not it generates exactly the same T-SQL statement, it says that the actual one could be different if you set conditions on the task, but if it is so why they work the saem way?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Giovanni

I Hate The Maintenance CleanUp Task :=)

May 4, 2007

I have a backup database task that runs at 4 am.

I added a maintenance CleanUp task pointing to the right folder
I checked the include first-level subfolder box, and delete files based on the age of the file at task run time

I specified "delete files older than " 1 day


But the cleanup task is not working, I have to manually go a delete the files myself.

Am I missing something? should I run the maintenance task first?
and then the backup task?

Missing Option In Maintenance Cleanup Task

Mar 25, 2008

I have a problem with deleting old bak files from a Cleanup Maintenance Task. I have backups in subdirectories and I read in SQL Server 2005 Books Online that:

In contrast to earlier versions of the Maintenance Cleanup task, the SQL Server 2005 version of the task does not automatically delete files in the subdirectories of the specified directory. This constraint reduces the surface area of any attack that could exploit the functionality of the Maintenance Cleanup task to delete files maliciously. To delete the first-level subfolders, you must explicitly elect to do this by checking the Include first-level subfolders option in the Maintenance Cleanup Task dialog box.

I cannot find such an option in my Maintenance Cleanup Task dialog box. I do not think I installed any service packs yet, could this be the problem?

Remove Old Backup And Tran Logs Thru Maintenance Plan Cleanup Task

Mar 27, 2007

Has anyone been able to successfully delete old backup files(*.bak) and tran logs (*.trn) TOGETHER using maintenance plan cleanup task in SQL 2005 SP2.

this is transact sql running in the back ground.
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'F:MSSQL.2MSSQLBackupibmdir',N'"bak" & "trn"',N'2007-03-26T22:21:14',1

This DOESNT WORK.

It works if I just try to delete only one of the things ie trn or bak files.

EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'F:MSSQL.2MSSQLBackupibmdir',N'bak',N'2007-03-26T22:21:14',1

But is there a way to delete both bak and trn files using one task ?

Sql Server 2005 Maintenance Task Delete Files Does Not Work

Mar 24, 2008

I used the toolbox to select maintenance cleanup task to create the job to do this. In reading similar notes regarding this problem, some people mentioned that there was a choice to include subfolders. I do not have this choice. When I execute select @@version I get Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (X64) Feb 10 2007 00:59:02 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2) . This is running on a cluster. Any idea what is going on here? Thanks.

Maintenance - Not Deleting Old Files

Apr 3, 2006

We have our Maintenance routines set up to delete files older that one week, but it is not working...

...Consequently, we forget to go out and remove the files manually, thus we lose backups due to the drive being full and have to manually remove files, then backup the databases and start all over again.

Has anybody had this problem and can you tell me where to look to try and figure out what the problem is ??

Thanks in advance,
Nancy

SSIS Package Cannot Access Remote UNC File Via The Admin Share

Mar 6, 2008

I am developing a package to restore a database from backup file on a remote server. I am having problems accessing the remote backup file when it is addressed via the admin share, in this case N$. It runs okay if a specific share is created but for some unknown reason fails via the adminshare.

I am executing the package job with a proxy account that is a member of the local administrators group on the remote server.

It appears that access via a remote admin share isn't possible from within a SSIS package. Is this the case?

Maintenance Cleanup Task……

Sep 14, 2007




SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition
Windows Server 2003.

I have created an €˜Backup Database Task€™ to create the database backups and checked the option €œCreate a subdirectory for each database€?.

When I add the €œMaintenance Cleanup Task€? I am not getting the similar option to clean the backup files in the subdirectory.

Any suggestion on how to solve this?

I can always uncheck the €œCreate a subdirectory for each database€? option to create the backup files in one location.

Thank you,
Smith

Subscriber Cleanup After Deleting Subscription

May 15, 2006

I have a 3 tier replication with one master server on tier1, 3 servers
on tier 2 and up to 20 remote servers (tier 3) on each of the tier 2
servers. I recently had to delete the subscriptions to each of
the tier 3 servers from the tier 2 servers and then recreate the
subscription. All went well for most of the subscriptions, but
for 3 subscriptions the subscription was dropped at the tier 2 level
but failed to drop at the subscriber due to a time out. I went to
the tier 3 servers in question and issued the sp_removedbreplication
command that supposedly executed properly. On one of these 3
servers everything worked fine and I was able to re-subscribe
successfuly and have everything continue to work properly. On the
other 2 it appeared the re-subscription worked properly until users
began to try to update the database through adds and updates (all
controlled through stored procedures). Users receive an error
message claiming an invalid object name ctsv_ followed by guid looking
string of characters. I suspect it has to do with all of the
stored procedures that were created by merge replication when the
subscription was set up and initialized (no sync). These include
numerous sp_ins_, sp_sel_, and sp_upd_ ... named procedures and a bunch
of dt_ ... stored procedures as well.



How do I clean this up so that I can have users using their database
again and then re-subscribe again short of rebuilding the database (a
very time consuming process)?

1. Maintenance Cleanup. 2. 'View History' Anomaly

Mar 31, 2008

Hi. I'm very new to SQL Server and would greatly appreciate any advice with regard to my two questions below.

I've recently been given responsibility for a pair of clustered Windows 2003 servers running SQL Server 2005. Looking through SQL Server Management Studio, I found the following three maintenance plans:

- System Maintenance Plan (all system databases)
- Plan 1 (1 database)
- Plan 2 (4 databases).

All three maintenace plans had the following elements configured, in the following order:
- Check Database Integrity
- Backup Database (Full)
- Shrink Database
- Update statistics
- Clean Up History

with the exception that Plan 1 doesn't have a 'Shrink Database' task (because, I'm told, its data is pretty static), but none had a Maintenance Cleanup Task, so I added one to each plan specifying 14 days of old backups to be kept in all cases except Plan 1, where I limited it to 2 days, the database being over 7 GB in size. All links between tasks in all plans are AND constraints, value 'Completion'. All .BAKs are written to tape by Symantec Backup Exec as part of the daily backup.

Two questions from this:

1. Since .BAKs are written to separate folders for each database, do I need, for example, four Maintenance Cleanup Tasks for the Plans covering four databases - one for each folder/database? I can't see a way of specifying that a Maintenance Cleanup Task should apply to multiple databases or search subfolders based on database name, so I assume I need four consecutive Maintenance Cleanup Tasks within a single plan? Is this the way to do it?

2.The data displayed when I right-click a maintenance plan and choose View History shows:

date and time run
plan name
task name
duration
log type
log source

Since I added a Maintenance Cleanup Task to each plan, the only task shown in the Task Name column is Cleanup History (set to 'Older than 7 days'), and the duration is 00:00:00, where previously all tasks were shown and the overall duration was over a minute.

However, the .BAK files are being created (size looks OK), the application log contains entries suggesting the backups and other tasks completed successfully, and if I expand the SQL Server Logs node and view the current file I can see entries which give the same 'success' messages (presumably this log is the source of the 'success' messages in the application log?).

Why does there appear to be an anomaly between the 'View History' display and the SQL Server Log and application log? Should I be worried, or is what I can see in the SQL Server Logs and application log sufficient grounds for a good night's sleep?

Thanks,

Ed

Problem With SQL Server Maintenance Cleanup Tasks

Nov 2, 2007

I've had problems trying to get a new maintenance plan on a new server to work.

I'm running a plan that does an integrity check, reindex, shrink, backup, the a maint cleanup to get rid of backups older than 2 weeks.

I'm getting failures that say:

Error Number
-1073548784

Error Message:
Executing the query "EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'',N'BAK',N'2007-10-18T18:43:41',1
" failed with the following error: "Error executing extended stored procedure: Invalid Parameter". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.


Yes, this is a post SP2 server.
Current version, with the patches I've applied looking to fix this is: 9.0.3054

Additionally, if you go in to edit a maintenance cleanup task, you cannot click on OK, or the T-SQL. Changing values within it does not help.

Any clues?

FTP Task - Delete Remote Files Always Fails

Mar 11, 2006



Hello,

I have two FTP Tasks configured in my SSIS package. One is for "Receive files" and the other is set for "Delete remote files." Both use variables for the source/destination paths. My remote path variable contains a wild card in the name field such as /usr/this/is/my/path/*.ext and it is working to FTP all the .ext files to my working directory. I then rename the files and want to remove the original files from the FTP server. I use the same variable as the remote path variable in the delete as I do in the receive.

Using the same FTP connection manager for both tasks I am always getting a failure on the delete. The FTP connection manger is setup to use the root user. Using a terminal I am able to open an FTP connection to the server and remove the files manually. There doesn't seem to be any detailed documentation on the FTP Task configured for Delete remote files so I'm hoping someone might have some insight to the problem.

I receive the same message for each of the files that was downloaded:
Error: 0xC001602A at MyPackage, Connection manager "FTP Connection Manager": An error occurred in the requested FTP operation. Detailed error description: 550 usr hisismypathdatafile1.ext: No such file or directory.
The attempt to delete file "usr hisismypathdatafile1.ext" failed. This may occur when the file does not exist, the file name was spelled incorrectly, or you do not have permissions to delete the file.

With the root user/working manually I'm not understanding the permission reason, the file does exist and is spelled correctly.

We are Downloading files from FTP Site using "FTP Task" and we need to remove those files after downloading.

We need to delete files of specific names, like "Names_*.TXT" (All the txt files and Names starting from "Names_") so We are using Delete Remote Files and Remote path we are specifying as "/Names_*.TXT"

This doesn't work its not able to delete the files so, We tried using "*.*" and also given the specific filename like "Names_A1.TXT" then also its not deleting the remote files.

Please let me know the solution.

Thanks,

FTP Task To Receive Files And Send It To A Remote Server

Feb 2, 2008

Hi,

I am new to SSIS. I need to read the files in a remote server folder and ftp them to the other remote server folder.


I know , I have to set up FTP task and FTP task must use a variable to provide the path information. But I am not sure how I can do this. Anyone suggest me with the script task to populate the variable and steps involved in this.

Thanks,

2005 Maint Plans .txt Files Not Deleting?

Aug 16, 2007

I am running 2005 SP2 (It is the SP2 refresh as I downloaded the SP2 on 3/15/07) and I can't get the .txt maint plans to delete. The job completes successfully; however, the old .txt files are still there. I found this technote: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938085
although I don't receive the error message in the KB. The report does have "New Component Output" as the 1st line in the report. I still don't see how deleting the 1st line of an already run job (the report) will affect a new run of the job.

Also, I checked the version of the Microsoft.SqlServer.MaintenancePlanTasks.dll and it is at 9.00.3043.00 (which is the SP2 Refresh) in KB 933508 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933508 ).

I have several SQL/2005 servers and they all have this problem. Any help would be appreicated...

Thanks,
DeWayne

Can't Delete Maintenance Report Files (txt) In SQL/2005

Jul 30, 2007

I have several maintenance plans setup and working in SQL/2005 (sp2 9.0.3042) on several servers; however, the .txt maint plan output files will not delete on any of the servers. The backups run fine, the old database and transaction log backup files delete fine (.bak and .trn); but, the .txt files won't go away unless I delete them by hand. I tried copy/paste the scripted command (xp_delete_file) and it runs with no errors but does not delete the old .txt files. ( This server was upgraded from SQL/2000 -

EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 1,N'E:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLLOG',N'txt',N'2007-07-09T10:59:38'

)
I do NOT specify a period (.) in the file extension dialog box. Any ideas before I setup a .cmd batch file and schedule it instead?

Thanks in Advance,

Recovery :: Maintenance Task To Copy Bak File To Secondary Drive After Backup Is Complete?

Nov 6, 2015

I need to copy a just-created bak file to another drive after the backup task has completed. I don't see anything in the job toolbox which works with file system operations like this. But still it must be a common need..There are ways to script this or use third part tools but I am looking for something native to the sql server 2012 SSMS toolset, if possible.

An alternate approach would be to run the backup job again, after the main backup, and change the destination to the alternate location. But I was thinking that another backup job would probably invoke more overhead on the server than a simple file copy operation. If I do end up taking this approach I could also use the cleanup task to toss older bak files in the alt dir.

FTP Functionality (see If File Exists, Move Remote Files)

Jul 18, 2007

I want to poll an ftp site to see when files arrive, then I would like to download them, and move them into a different directory on the ftp site. It seems like I would have to do a lot to work around the limitations of the FTP Task. Is it capable of this sort of work? If not is there a 3rd party task that is better suited for ftp operations within SSIS?

Maintenance Commands Affect On Log File / Log File Maintenance Without Log File Backups?

Jun 18, 2015

I am testing some maintenance tasks sql commands such as index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check on a SQL Server 2014 Database. This is a new non-production vendor database (DB Size 500 GBs, Log Size 25 GBs) which eventually will be created in production. Currently, it is in full recovery model and without log backups. The database has a whole lot of indexes. I am just trying to rebuild and reorganize all the indexes (that need it), in addition to trying to get an idea of how long these maintenance task will take and the space needed in the log file to complete these tasks/commands. I would like to execute these tasks manually (the first time) to gather the duration and space required information. Eventually, I would probably schedule a weekly job to perform this maintenance.

I ran the index rebuild task on the database and noticed that the log file grew by over 50 GBs. I killed the process and truncated and shrunk the log file back down.

1. Does the index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check commands all use the log file?

2. Does Indexs Reorg have less impact on log file then Index Rebuild?

3. Should a truncate log and shrink log file be performed after these maintenance commands?

4. Should a full database backup be performed after these maintenance commands? Or before the maintenance commands?

I have read and understand that shrinking is not good for the database (could lead to more fragmentation and more data file growth when data is added) and I know about rebuilding indexes when fragmentation is GT 30% and reorganizing indexes when fragmentation is GT 5% and LE 30%.

Since this is a non-production database maybe I should set the recovery model to simple, run the maintenance commands and leave the database in simple recovery model unless the vendor needs it in full recovery model for some unknown reason.

5. With the simple recovery model the log file should be reused in a circular manner and not grow during these maintenance tasks. Is this correct?

Receive Files From Remote Site Only If File Does Not Exist In Local Directory

I need to only receive files via ftp when the file does not exist on my local machine. FIles are being added to the remote location on a weekly basis and they are being downloaded locally. I do not want to download all the files each time. Instead, just download what was not already downloaded. Is there a way to do this? I want to do this using SSIS / ftp task.

Calling Remote Batch File Using 'Execute Process Task'

Oct 11, 2006

I have a remote batch file on machine B that I need to execute using 'Execute process task' control from a package on machine A. The batch file uses pgp software and encrypts a file sitting on machine B itself. The reason why my batch file is sitting on machine B, is because the PGP software is on machine B.

If I execute the batch file by itself from machine B, the script runs fine. I refer the same batch file as a UNC path from my package on machine A. But that does not work since the 'Working directory' is still machine A. I can not set machine B's folder as the working dir because it does not accept UNC path. So I say, ok , let me map a path to that UNC location and map it as drive 'Z:'. Certainly if I do so, I will be running the process on machine A and the batch file will look for the pgp software on machine A, and hence fail.

I have tried third party remote batch execution tools (PSEXEC) but have not had success, not because of SSIS limitations, but simply because the PGP executable when run through the PSEXEC tool, does not identify the location of the public keys on machine B and hence gives an encrytion failure.

How do I get the remote batch file to execute such that it executes with its own env? Is there a better remote execution tool I can try or are there any other features of SSIS I can use to get around this issue? I need the results of the batch file and hence do not want to make it an asyncronous process.

Thanks

Any other ways to do this job ?

Missing Files After Using File System Task

Jan 25, 2007

Hi All,

I don't know if anyone faced this issue. We are having a strange problem. Our process was working well when it was implemented on 32 bit processor.IT ran perfectly for 6 months with out a problem. But when we moved the packages to a 64 bit machine, this issue along with some other issues started to show up.

The issue is we are missing files in the source folder.

Our process is designed such that a source process, brings in a file and updates a status for the file in a audit table. The ETL process picks up the file, then assigns the status as €˜running€™ when SRC process is complete and loads into Target DB, and updates ETL status to complete. But current problem is the ETL is losing files after it assigns the status as running. When we looked into the DB weather the data is loaded, we could not find any data related to these files.

we are have mapping level parameters for source path and target path.

We are using a For Each Loop task, and processing files(which are simple flat files) in the source path. The file name is stored in the mapping level parameter. Once the file is process we are moving them into a target path.

Our src and target file paths are on the same drive, just have src folder, inside src folder we have processed folder and failed folder. So files are picked from the source folder and moved into processed folder after processing. The files are not even moved to a failed folder.

There are lot other processing going on this box, and the trend observed is that when more processors are running at peak hour, the missing files€™ count is more.

Right now we are refetching those files, as a work around, but does any one has any suggestion why this is happening or any better implementation suggestions?

Thanks
