SQL 2012 :: Restore Fails - No Files Ready To Roll Forward

Feb 17, 2014

1. Created a database with a couple of tables with no data.

2. Taken a full database backup - db.bak.

3. Deleted the database.

4. Restored the database db.bak and filled the tables with some data.

5. Taken log backup - dblog.trn

BACKUP LOG <dbname> to DISK='D:Demodblog.trn' WITH NO_TRUNCATE, INIT

6. Dropped the database again.

7. Restored the database again from db.bak.

8. But when I am trying to restore log file dblog.trn on this database, i keep getting this error :

The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward.

Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.

Recovery :: Log Or Differential Backup Cannot Be Restored Because No Files Ready To Roll Forward

Oct 30, 2015

I missed the ability to restore based on a time (10/23 6pm) due to our purge cycle in our production environment, but I was able to obtain the 10/18 full backup, the 10/23 differential backup, and the 4, 10/23 trans. log backups.  I moved all the fore mentioned files to a staging environment, and now I am trying to restore all of the files to 10/23 6pm and I get :

"The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward" error.

Forward Looking Thought: Raw Files

Oct 6, 2006

I assume that MS has a directive never to change the format of SSIS raw files...

However, what I'd like to know is that when I'm planning long-term systems where I've got backups of data (staging, logging, whatever) using raw files, can I be assured that future versions of SSIS will be able to read those raw files?

I assume a certain level of backwards compatibility, however, I'm just curious if I should think about building processes into my projects that would factor that in and rebuild raw files everytime a new/major release of SSIS comes out.

How To Get IDENTITY_INSERT Incriment Primary Key ID Roll Back When The Application Fails.

Oct 28, 2007

 My question is how to get IDENTITY_INSERT Incriment Primary Key ID  roll back when the application fails.
Using TransactionScope with single connection in DataObject. I am trying to insert row in two dataTable  using its own tableAdapter (two tableAdapter).
I have Product table with ProductID primary key with incriment identity.  and that ProductID is used to insert row in ProductHistory Table. Lets say Product table has the last ProductID=8 (8 rows) and the next ProductID will be 9.
When I insert row in both table and if the second table insert fails both gets roll back (which is good). but when I insert again another time the Product ID=10 not 9. Is there any way to roll back the ProductID in Product table so when i insert next time it has incriment number instead of gap.

SQL 2012 :: FOR FILES Command To Delete Old Backup Files On Remote Server?

Feb 24, 2015

I have the need to delete old backup files via TSQL job. Found this solution online:

PushD "
emoteservershareDIFF" &&(
forfiles -m *DIFF*.sqb -d -1 -c "cmd /c del /q @path"
) & PopD

It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?

Restore Fails

Apr 22, 1999

I'm new to SQL server, so bear with me please.

I'm running NT4 SP3 SQL 6.5 SP5. I have one major database (son_db) which is being backed up (along with others) using this command:

DUMP DATABASE son_db TO DBTape WITH NOUNLOAD , STATS = 10, NOINIT , NOSKIP

The task is completing successfully each night. However, we want to test the restore of this database, so we created a test table (test_table) which resides in the son_db database, added some data, and then let the backup run.

Next day we alter some data and try to restore the single table, but consistantly get the following message after clicking on the restore button:

[SQL Server] invalid source table "test_table" specified in LOAD TABLE. Could not find table in SYSOBJECTS in dump.

After this error, the table (test_table) is now completely empty.

MS website is no help, so I would really appreciate a bit of guidance on this,

Many thanks,

Joe

HELP! -- RESTORE DB FAILS

Jul 13, 2000

Hello, I have a SERIOUS problem where I am restoring my SQL server (6.5) dump to my standby server everyday.......however, it often fails with the following msg:
'Unexpected end-of-dump while loading database, attempting to continue. Please verify database integrity. (Message 3103)'
It does also succeed, but too often fails and my standby server depends on it. The DB that gets restored is placed in single-user mode, so no other process or connection is allowed.
The backup to PROD runs at 12AM, for about 3 hours and succeeds always; the restore runs at 4:00...i've tried later times as well.
Can anyone tell me how to get near 100% success rate? What is the problem and how can I fix it? Thank you for the help.

Restore Of Master DB Fails

Jul 12, 2000

To restore the Master DB, BOL says to start SQL Server in single user mode.
I do this using: sqlserver.exe -m

The server appears to startup (Recovery complete message, etc.).

Then I take care to minimize the command window. The command
window now appears on my task bar.

I start EM and navigate my way to the Restore Database menu pick.

I fill out the appropriate boxes, etc. I get a window telling me that
the restore has been started.

Very shortly I get a popup window telling me the connection has been
lost. When I examine my taskbar, I no longer see the Icon for the
command line/window. Thus it appears to me that the server
running in single user mode has gone away and this explains
the reason for the window saying that the connection has been
lost.

I then start SQL Server, per normal.

I run DBCC CHECKDB. This tells me there are 0 allocation errors
and 0 consistency errors. Several thousand rows of data present.
Thus the master DB appears to be OK.

However I am unable to restore it.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Set-up completes successfully.Copy job works as expected. but the restore job fails intermittently to restore the .trn file saying ' could not apply  log, data invalid' .

when i  delete and copy the files for which restore failed  manually using CTRL+C and CTRL+V across network and re run the restore job it does restore successfully . Through out the day i get about 5-6 problematic .trn files on secondary server which are copied from primary server and when restore fails i have to manually delete the log file which had problem restoring and then copy that file again using CTRL+C and CTRL+V  then run the restore and it gets restored successfully.when running restore filelistonly on the logfile in issue on secondary server  it gives below error

Cmd:

Restore Fails With Internal Consistency Error

May 30, 2002

I am trying to restore a production database backup to a new location on a development workstation, and it fails with "An internal consistency error occurred, Contact Support". When I tried this on a more powerful workstation it ran without a hitch. The db is about 1.5GB, and I think the dev workstation may be running out of resources during the restore. I stopped non-essential services and ran from TSQL, and it still fails. Any suggestions other than getting a better workstation?

Thanks,

Restore Of Database Via Veritas 9.1 Fails With Communication Error

May 24, 2006

We are running SQL 2000 sp4, only one user database (SAP) the database is 63 GB.
The ldf files were trashed so I went to tape to restore.
We are using veritas backup exec 9.1 sp4. Veritas is on the same server. I can restore the master db and the msdb fine. However when we attempt to restore the DEV db it runs for 2 hours and then fails with a communication error from veritas.
When we restore the master the DEV db comes up suspect as there are no files for it to attach to) so we cannot attach to it to restore, so I have deleted it and attempted to restore - same communication error. I have recreated a db named DEV with the mdf etc created to the size needed plus some to be sure, no good same behavior (behavior described below).
The job starts and it creates all the folders for the database (there are 1 MDF, 5 NDF, and 4 LDF files each in its own folder). Then it begins to create teh individual files it gets ~half way through at about an hour-hour and fifteen. During this time there are a large number of writes being performed by SQL (I assume it is creating the structures). Then it switches over to reading from tape a large number of read by beengine for another 45-1.5 hours then the job fails with the error unable to communicate with the device. I ahve noticed that once it starts reading from tape the db is gone from enterprise manager, and the mdf etc. files that were being created are now gone.

Help this has gone on for three days!!!

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.

Attaching A Valid Database Fails Because Of Old Mdf-files

Sep 3, 2007



I have a database that consists of 4 files (1 MDF, 2 NDF's and 1 LDF-file). I can confirm that by running:

select name from sys.database_files

The result is:
Adam_Data
Adam_Log
Adam_FullText
Adam_History


About a year ago this database had 3 more NDF-files, but we moved all the objects that were stored in these secondary datafiles to the other datafiles and removed them completely from the database. This operation worked correctly otherwise the sys.database_files view would have returned more files I assume.

Everything works perfectly with this database until I try to detach and reattach it. If I detach this database and immediately try to attach it again on the same server using Sql Server Management Studio it wants me to attach 7 database files! The 4 database files that are still being used by this database (which is perfectly valid), but it also wants me to attach the 3 old database files which obviously don't exist anymore and that aren't even reported by the sys.database_files view. Is there anything I can do to make sure that an attach of this database will work again? How can I completely remove these old database files?

Regards,
Michael

Restore In Recovery Mode Fails Sometimes With [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013)

May 26, 2008

Hi,
I run 2 steps viz with NORECOVERY and with RECOVERY in sequence as SQP jobs. The 2nd step fails some times. When it starts failing, I run full backup of the production server again and the 2nd step starts succeding. Unless I run the full backup the 2nd step keeps on failing.

I have a FTP task in my control flow that download files from a FTP server. This ftp task is inside a foreach container that loops over a ADO recordset for the file name. The files that the ftp task pulls are huge. If the FTP task fails then I want the FTP task to restart and only download those files that have not been downloaded. Is this possible?

What possible configurations do I have to make to the foreach container and the filetask?

Script .bak Restore W/ .trn Files

Feb 17, 2006

I'm the DBA in an environment with approximately 240 identical (structurally) MSSQL 2000 databases in an environment. Each one of these databases are different business units around the country. For each of these DBs, I have my backup schedule set up to do a full backup every friday night, along w/ doing a transactional every 4 hours in between. Every once in a while (about once every 3 weeks), I get the call to do a restore to pull some piece of data that some end user accidentally deleted or broke. Now most of the time it isn't a big deal, because I can use enterprise mgr to restore to a new DB from the live backup set of the database in question.But, several of the databases seem to have an issue where (for some reason) my predecessor renamed the logical file names of the data and log files to various goofy things. It doesn't affect their operation, but when I try to do a 'restore from database,' it gives me a bunch of big fat errors. This is also the case when the backup I want to restore something that has been written to tape and has been rolled out of the backup history.SO... basically for these databases, now I go into Enterprise mgr and first restore the base .bak file to a new database, leaving it marked 'read only' and 'able to restore additional transactions.' I then have to do the same thing with restoring each additional TRN file, all the while making sure I don't forget to set the 'able to restore additional transactions.' Whenever I forget to set that I have to start all over. And honestly, it happens more often than not when I have to restore 5 days out from the .bak file, which means that I have restore 30 trn files on top of the .bak. Not hard, but incredibly tedious.So here's my idea. I know I can script restores thru QA. I've been looking quite a bit at this MS doc (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/maintain/sqlbackuprest.mspx#E2AA) and have come up with some good ideas. What I want to eventually do is create a script that you can just paste the .bak file and the list of .trn files. The script basically creates a temp table w/ those file names and cursors thru the restore process. The cursor part is easy for me, I'm just not sure about scripting the trn restore. The MS doc is a bit vague and really only shows the Enterprise Mgr method.Here's what I've been playing w/ so far for restoring the base .bak file:restore database restore_dbname --NAME OF NEW DBfrom disk = 's:mssqlackupuserdbnamedbname_db_20060120184 1.bak' --PATH TO BAK FILEwithmove 'pm65mr1_default_data_OldDBName_Data' --LOGICAL FILE NAME OF ORIGINAL MDFto 'I:MSSQL$MSSQLSERVER2Data
estore_dbname.mdf' --PATH TO NEW MDFmove 'pm65mr1_default_data_OldDBName_Log' to --LOGICAL FILE NAME OF ORIGINAL LDF'U:MSSQL$MSSQLSERVER2Log
estore_dbname.ldf' --PATH TO NEW LDFpartial, recoveryI think I'm pretty close with this, but I'm not really sure how I can stack the trn restores on top of that. Any ideas? I've been putzing around the web and so far haven't been able to come up w/ anything really useful.
