We have a job that is related to BI. We need to move that job to another server.
Is it better to use transfer job task in ssis or script out the job and run that script on other server?
Is there any options available to do this task?
Before move and after move what are the steps we need to take? What are the probable errors and risks we may get.
I have a project where I am creating a test environment. My objective is to give the client staff a set of instructions to follow to make sure the test mirrors production. I have migrated the SRS databases over to the new test server. All of the reports are there as is the security but where I run into an issue is the data sources for SRS. They are all pointed at the production servers. Is there an easy way to make the change possibly using a SQL update statement or exporting all the reports to XML and doing a find and replace. The shared data sources I went through manually and changed but there were 40 data sources. Now I realized some of the reports have embedded data connections. There are hundreds of reports to go through.

I have a piece of code that has happily run daily for at least 4 years. I have moved it to a machine that is meant to have an identical set-up, and it fails. I need to work out why it fails, but I am stuck. The code works as follows:
CREATE storedProc1 (Parameter1, etc)
DECLARE @TransactionName nvarchar(127), @TransactionActive bit
-- Plus Other Variables...
BEGIN
BEGIN TRY
SET @TransactionName= 'TransactionName1'
SET @TransactionActive = 'True'
BEGIN TRANSACTION @TransactionName WITH MARK
[Code] .....
When I EXECute StoredProc1, it fails with the Error Message "Cannot roll back . No transaction or savepoint of that name was found." I think that message comes from a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement in the CATCH of StoredProc2. I have tried commenting out that ROLLBACK statement, which changes the error message to: "Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates a mismatching number of BEGIN and COMMIT statements. Previous count = 1, current count = 2."
whenever we are moving system databases from one drive to another, do we need to move the path physically? or it automatically moves.I want to try the rebuild the sql server. So I want to corrupt the master database so, I deleted the master mdf file and restore it back but instead of database corruption it is giving the following error message. How can I corrupt the master database and can practice the rebuild the server.
And one more thing when I try to use the repair option I couldn't able to get all the things back to normal. The database engine service, replication is not working but SSAS, SSRS things are showing successfully repaired.

Trying to find out if this is the best way to move log files in databases that are in an availability group.
remove the DB from the AG
Run alter database commands like you would normally to take offline ,move file,bring online ,etc
drop the db from secondary node
then rejoin the DB to the AG
Is that the only option for moving them when its in an avail group? cant find any other info on moving files in mirrors or HA groups
Our development organization has created an application employing FILESTREAM, which through the pilot has been incorporated into a schema within our Data Warehouse Staging database. Going to production, the development and BI teams have determined that they want it separated out into a separate database, and they'd like to separate it in the current pilot environment (DEV).
How can I best move (or at least copy) the existing FILESTREAM data from the current database into a new one?

View 6 Replies View RelatedWe are seeing very high Average Disk Queue Length numbers in one of our clusters (both nodes of the cluster are Virtual, but have their own dedicated virtual environments). Our main data drive also houses TempDB, which I would like to move.
Each node in the Active/Passive cluster are running Windows Server 2012 Standard 64bit and SQL Server 2012 Enterprise 64bit. There is a separate drive for Log files and data files.
The data files also have TempDB on them as previously mentioned. I am reading that you can set up a local disk on each node of the cluster, with the same drive letter and path and then move tempdb as you would with a stand alone SQL Server.
Recently maintenance was done removing some tables from the original filegroup in one drive of our SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition 64bits to another created on a separate physical drive. I was expecting the full amount of data moved to the secondary filegroup to show up as unused on the primary filegroup but that doesn't seem to be the case. Do I have to do anything after the move to release that space, not to disk, but to the database as unused?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to move a log file of a database that is part of an availability group. I have been following steps from the article: [URL]
At first this worked fine for me in a test environment. When I tried it in a production environment the database on the secondary went into "Recovery Pending" state and I can't get it out.
I checked to ensure that the dB is looking in the right place for the log file, and it is. It just doesn't seem to actually use the new file. If I start and stop SQL service, the dB comes back up and is fine.
Here are the steps I'm going through and what is happening at each step:
--------------------------------------
:Connect DEVSQL --This is currently PRIMARY
USE[master]
GO
ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [DP-AG-DEV] MODIFY REPLICA ON N'DEVSQL' WITH (SECONDARY_ROLE(ALLOW_CONNECTIONS = NO))
[Code] ....
All is good so far. Both the Primary and the Secondard have had their logical files changed, which has not taken affect yet because there has been no failover.
--Make SQL10 the PRIMARY
:Connect SQL10
ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [DP-AG-DEV] FAILOVER;
GO
SQL10 is now the Primary for this AG. And, as expected, the database [AG-Test] is in "Recovery Pending" because it is now looking for the log file in the new location. I need to move the file to the new location.
:Connect DEVSQL
--Enable XP_CMDSHELL
sp_configure 'show advanced options',1
go
reconfigure
go
sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell',1
[code].....
This is where the script is failing, returning the error:
Msg 1468, Level 16, State 5, Line 5
The operation cannot be performed on database "AG-Test" because it is involved in a database mirroring session or an availability group. Some operations are not allowed on a database that is participating in a database mirroring session or in an availability group.
Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
ALTER DATABASE statement failed.
I can not get the dB to recognize the log file at it's new location.
If I restart the SQL Service, it comes back fine, which seems to indicate to me that it is not a permission problem and confirms that the file is in the right place.
How do I force SQL to look for the log file again without restarting the service?
I have an SSIS package built by another developer, and now that I'm running it under my login the passwords won't save. The solution and packages are setup with ProtectionLevel EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey, but how do I get the User Key to reset so I can now save passwords? I can re-enter them, but whenever I enter hte password and test it then click OK it still has the red arrow next to the connection as if there's an error. I can create new connections and those passwords save fine, but with 40-50 items in this package I hate the thought of having to go into each and change the connection.
I tried changing the package and solution to DontSaveSensitive then rebuilding and closing then reopening, I hoped there was some option to reset the User Key just as if I created the solution. If this option doesn't exist why?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All, first post.
I have done a bit of searching around and cant find a clear answer to this question.
Current Setup
Desktop application (c#) that connects to a SQL Server 2005 express database on the same local network as the application (currently 3 users)
It is only a very small company and has just taken on their first remote worker, but expects to take on another 6-8 over the next few months. They have asked for the database to be moved online.
The application was written in such a way that everything has been done using no stored procs, or views, it is all native SQL.
This will be my first DB hosted online and before I go ahead and do anything I just wanted to make sure what I have to do is correct, sorry if this is a very basic question, although I have been programming for a long time, I have never had the chance to do any online databases before.
Will this work.
1.Find a SQL Server 2005 Hosting company.
2.Move the database to the server.
3.Setup the users permissions.
3.Alter the connection string in the application to point to the new location.
So the only thing that would change would be a new connection string in the application preferences?
Or am I living in a dream world, because nothing is ever that simple.
One thing I am worried about is the security/visiblity of the database and data as it travels from the server to the client and back.
Thanks for any advise you can give.

I'm looking to deploy a web site that uses SQL2000 to another server. Im trying to find out how to move the database to that server. Ideally I would like to be able to save it to CD for safety but its not like old access where you save the mdb file.

Hi -
At my work, we have a SQL Server 2K DB on a server. This server is being replaced and the DB needs to be copied from the old server to the new server and I've been asked to perform this task. What I was planning on doing was:
1. Making a copy of the database on the current server
2. Taking the .BAK file created and coping it to the new server via a mapped drive
3. Restoring the database from the .BAK file on the new server
The only concern is moving the .BAK file across the network due to size.
Is this the best method to do this or is there a more preferred way? By doing this, what potential issues could be encountered?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Our SQL server, Report Server and IIS server are all on 1 physical server but that's going to change. We're moving the IIS/web server to a new box but the database server & report server will be on the old box.
Are there available documentation on how to move the Report Server service and IIS configuration of the Report Server?
I am hoping somebody can tell me in detail what is the quickest and fastest way to move SQL 6.5 to a new server. The server it is on is out of resources and space, and I have a new server to move everything over to. I assume I can just install SQL 6.5, copy the DATA database and MSSQL directories over, and rename the new server to the original name and take the old server offline?
Please give me as much detailed directions if you can.
Thank you

Hi Team
We are moving our production SQL server(EE) box to new box. Also, we
need to change the server name with new name. Currently, we have lots of
DTS, Transactional Replication and many jobs running.
What are the precautions / DOs and DONTs to make successful transfer to
the new server? Apart from restoring msdb on the new server, is there
anything we need to concentrate?
We use DTS to transfer logins and objects.
Thanks in Advance
Hi Everbody,
I've got a client that set up their own SQL server. It is
currently installed on NT4 on the system volume. It needs to be moved
to a directory. I was wondering if anybody has ever done
anything like this or can offer some good advice on the
best place to start.
Thanks,

I'm currently working on a project, with development at my location and production at another. My question is what is the best way to copy database changes, ie adding/removing fields, without having to copy over the existing data. I have been just noting what fields I add and remove, and going to the production server and doing it by hand, but this obviously isnt the fastest way to do it. Essentially when I add a new module to the system on production, I have to manipulate existing database tables. I want to copy the schema of those tables to production, but I dont want to lose any existing data on production. Thanks in advance.

Moving the database to the new machine is one thing, but how do you move the users?
Just adding the same username and pwds as logins is still going to throw you out of the db isn't it?
I've run the Database Publishing Wizard on the target machine, but the t-sql falls over whenever it encounters an unknown user.

I'm done some development in SQL Server Express, working on tables and procedures. I've now got to move those tables/procedures into SQL Server and I don't know of an easy way to do this. Are there any tools I can take advantage of that would allow me to get all these objects moved? The only way I can see to do it is to move objects over one-by-one. This would be really time-consuming, and I'd like to avoid it if possible.
I'm positive I'm not the first one to try this, but what should I be searching for? Are there tools/procedures I should be looking for?

We have both a production SQL 7 server, QA, and Development. From time to time, I want to move just the data from the production server to the other 2 servers without modifing the objects that may have been changed such as stored procedures and rights. Is there a way using the SQL tools provided that we can just move the data. Becuase also what happens is that the rights to the objects change which means my developers no longer have access to the tables for selects in QA since the changes where overwritten by production where they do not have the rights.
Thanks

I have two databases on two different servers (an old hosting solution and a new). I need to get all the data from one server to the other but I have no clue as how to do it with MS SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I can easily make the create table scripts that will allow me to create the tables on the new server but what about all the data. I wondered if there is some way to export and import data from one server to another?
With the old SQL Enterprise Manager I was able to import or export as I saw fit but I can't seem to find anything like this with the express manager.
Anyone has any advise as I would like to avoid coding somekind of export program myself,
Many kind regards

We have a new server (SRV63) and I followed the instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156421.aspx to move the report server database from our old server (SRV38). Everything appeared OK, however, when I went to initialize the instance in the Reporting Services Configuration tool, it shows an initialized instance (checkbox is checked) for SRV38 and and uninitialized instance for SRV63 (checkbox is not checked). Please note that I am not trying to create a scale-out deployment. I tried to initialize SRV63 but received the error below.
--------------------
ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: The report server installation is not initialized. (rsReportServerNotActivated)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.ThrowOnError(ManagementBaseObject mo)

This is the only thing stopping me from shutting down SRV38 and bringing SRV63 into production. Can someone assist me with this issue?
Hi, i was after some advice on moving a SQL Server 2000 database from one server to another.
Usually i would do this by backing up the database on the original server the copying it accross the LAN to the new server and restoring it there. This database is 10Gb in size and copying it accross the LAN will take some time and i would like to minimise downtime if possible. The database is at a customer site where i am not responsible for the network or Hardware.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am setting up a new testing and development machine. My previous machine had VS 2003 and SQL Server 2000 installed on it. The new machine is going to be VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Standard. I have approximately 12 databases on the old machine in SQL 2000 that I want to bring over onto the new machine and convert to 2005. What is the best way to go aobut this. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this, but I'm having trouble finding documentation on this topic. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
