We are using sql server 2012. We have configured backup in our setup. We wanted to enable loggigng in such a way that when ever backup job runs it should log the status in error log. How to enable this. As of now it is creating seperate log file in log location after every execution. We wanted them to be logged in Error Log file it self.
View 8 RepliesWe take a full backup in the early morning and hourly transaction log back during the working hours for one database in the production server. The application team made certain changes to the design of the said database in their development server. The backup from the development server was restored to the production server during working hours. After the restoration should we take a full backup before next transactional logbackup? Would the transactional log backup with out a full backup after the restoration of a database be valid?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHiI take one nightly full database backup at 02:00 and backup thetransaction log to one backup set every 15mins.The commands to do this are as follows and are set up to run asdatabase jobs:-- Database BackupBACKUP DATABASE [ThikosDatabase] TO [DatabaseBackUp] WITH NOINIT ,NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'ThikosDatabase backup', NOSKIP , STATS = 10,NOFORMAT-- Transaction Log Backup Every 15mins.BACKUP LOG [ThikosDatabase] TO [TransactionLog] WITH NOUNLOAD , NAME= N'TransactionLogBackUp', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, DESCRIPTION =N'BackUp the transaction Log every 15 minutes every day.', NOFORMAT,RETAINDAYS = 0At the moment the transaction log backups every 15mins are simplybeing added one by one to the one backup set. I want the backed uptransaction logs in the backup set after 24hrs to be overwritten sodisk space does not add up. I thought RETAINDAYS would do this as anexpirydate is set to expire on the time it is created so i would haveexpexted it to be overwritten when that time comes around the nextday. (But is doesent)I think it is ok to overwrite the transaction log in the backupsetafter 24hrs as you only need the transaction logs since the last fullbackup (which happens nightly at 02:00) for recovery.Does anyone have any ideas?Many thanks.Thiko!
View 3 Replies View Relatedsome of the databases are not backed up in availability groups , they are showing the status as synchronized , how can we check the reason of this ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI asked this question before but never received a decent answer. When a restore fails, what are the steps to re-start the restore? This should be a very common issue and for the life of me I have been unable to find it in BOL or the MS site! Please let me in on the secret!!

In SQL Server 7.0 I right click on the database, select Tasks, Select backup, then indicate backup of database (complete) to tape. Overwrite (I put tape into NT Server), OK, then it says backup in progress and then I get the message shown in the subject...
Any advice please? I have backed up NT files on this tape before and have tried a second tape...
Thanks much,

HiWe have developed and deployed a database which contanis very sensitiveinformation. Our client is now concerned about the security of the backups. In essense, if someone in the organization can get hold of thebackup of the database, he can simply restore it on any sql server inthe world with sa permission.I know Microsoft provides flexibility of adding the "Password" in theBackup t-sql statement but it wouldn't be of much use if the back uptask is saved as a script and password will be written inside thescript.your suggestions are really appreciated!Thanks

I am developing a package on my local workstation. I have defined two logging service providers. One is for SQL Server and the other is for the Windows Event Log. I am using the Dts.Log method in a script task to write log entries.
Logging is working properly with the SQL Server provider and rows are being inserted into the sysdtslog90 table. However, the only events that are being logged in the Windows Event Log are the package start and end events which I believe SSIS is doing automatically anyway.
Is there something I need to do to enable WIndows Event Log logging other than defining a log provider and making sure it is checked active? Won't SSIS write to two different logs with one Dts.Log call? Any ideas on what might be going wrong with my approach?
Thanks,

Hi,
I decided to use the SQL Server log provider to store logging data of all my Integration Services packages. I also created some reports about this data for operating purposes.
I have a problem occurs the name of the executing package is not always written to the log,but the name of the single task which failed. But that is not very useful information for operating, because I do not see any chance to get the name of the package by the information which is logged in the sysdtslog90 table in the database which I defined for SSIS Logging.
How do I configure the package to always log the package information into the table, too?
Best regards,
Stefoon
I make a backup file from my database and than I opened it in notepad.
I find some data that I can't reach with query. I searched for this data in every varchar and text column but I don't find that.I scripted all database with data but still not find.
This database is very old and this unavailable data is from 2000. Now the database run on sql 2012 server.
I want to remove this data from the database. I tried to shrink the database or allocate the free space to 0% but nothing happened, the data is still there in the backup and the mdf file too.
I recently read the project real ETL design best practices whitepaper. I too, want to do custom logging as I do today, and also use SSIS logging. The paper recommended using the variable system::PackageExecutionId to tie the 2 logging methods together.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.

Hi,
I have posted this issue for a week, haven't got any reply yet, I posted it again and desperately need your help.
The article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365343.aspx says:
Model Item Security can be set for differnt security filters, but when I use SQL Server Management Studio to set Model Item Security, it seems "Permissions" property surpass "Model Item Security" property. -- My report server is using Custom Authentication.
For example, in "Permissions" property of the model, if I checked "Use these roles for each group or user account" without setting any user or group, no matter what users I added to "Model Item Security" with "Secure individual model items independently for this model" checked, NO one user can see the model on report manager and report builder;
in above situation, if I added "user1" and gave role such as "Browser" role to "user1" in "Permissions" property, if I checked "Secure individual model items independently for this model" in "Model Item Security" property, even I did NOT grant "user1" to root model and any entities under the model, the "user1" is able to access the model and all entities in report builder.
My question is on the same report model, how to set "AdminFilter" (empty security filter) for administrator permissions and set "GeneralFilter" (filtered on UserID) for general user based on their UserID?
The article also says:
"Security filters are always applied, even for users who have Content Manager or Administrator permissions to the model. To allow administrators or other users to see all rows of an entity on which row-level security is defined, you can create an empty security filter (which always returns True) and then use the filter to grant those users access to all the rows."
So I defined 2 filters "GeneralFilter" and "AdminFilter" for "Staff" entity for my report model "SSRSModel", I expect after I deployed the report model, the administrator users use report builder to build reports with all rows available, and the non-admin users can only see rows based on their UserID.
I can only get one result at a time but not both:
either the rows are filtered or not filtered at all, no matter how I set the "SecurityFilter" for the entity: I tried setting both "AdminFilter" and "GeneralFilter" for SecurityFilter at the same time, combination of "DefaultSecurityFilter" and "SecurityFilter", or one at a time.
Your help is highly appreciated!

Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks

Hi;
I am looking for a way to log all security related events for SQL in Windows Security Log. I am trying to use SCOM for monitoring SQL and I am looking at ways to generate alerts in my SCOM Console for specific events in SQL e.g. A table is deleted, user is modified, deleted, etc. Is this possible and if yes how do I achieve the same?

In an environment where there are many initaitors speaking to a central target with frowarders in between, from what i can understand this best policy is to disable encryption on the endpoints, since dialog encryption will be enforced this is all that is really required, is this correct.
If the endpoints used encryption the message would need to be encrypted and decrypted at each forwarder resulting in slower perfromance, where as dialog encryption would only encrypt at the sender and decrypt at the target, so is this the best way to go?
Secondly is it best practice to open a dialog initally and send messages over this dialog for years never ending the conversation? This way the services only have to authenticate eachother once, if there are no reboots etc that is of course.
I would think performance wise sending each message and ending the conversation each time is a much greater overhead ? So would it be best practice to keep dialogs open and keep sending messages ?
Initally when i was learning service broker i thought that one must send a message and end the dialog until the next message, but i think the other way is the best option ?
Is this correct ?
Thanx
Hi
I'm designing a distributed application where I will have SQL Server 2005 distributed databases replicating data to my central hub which is again a SQL Server 2005 database using SQL Service Broker. Data will be sent from the central hub to the distributed sites and vice versa. I need to authenticate the communication and also secure the communication by encrypting the messages. Which security shall I use? Where do I configure the type of security being used? What is the difference between transport security Vs dialogue security - Full security model?
Thanks
How can I check from database username and password? It doesent need any special authentication, just a lookup through the database and if the user exist than continue with the next page.Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a web application accessing a SQL Server database (the ususal stuff).
I want to be able to log who did what on which table. I need to display this information on the web application. Is there an easy way of doing this, rather that making duplicates of a lot of data?
The best way I have thought of so far is making a new table with the following fields:
Table_Changed
Table_Primary_Key
Old_Field_Value
New_Field_Value
User
Date_Changed
Every time someone changes something, it is logged in this table, so that, at any time, I can display who changed what.
I have one more question. If I do do it this way, is there a way of getting the primary key value of any table? E.G. could I do something like this_table.primary_key.value ?

Is there a way to produce a log of all SQL statements hitting a database in a given range of time by a specific SPID? Obviously the SQL Server activity logs do not go into that much detail, except when errors are produced or a change is made to a system table. Is there a setting to add more detail, or to log a specific SPID's actions, or maybe a third party software that will give me what I am looking for?
Thanks. JT
does SQL 7.0 have any built in logging capabilities to identify row level actions by operator. For instance, can it tell me that a particular user deleted or inserted a row? How would I tell it who the operator is?

I've been asked to write a trigger that will basically log changes to certain fields in certain tables, then create a front-end application where the user will be able to review the info. The front-end app. is not a problem for me - the trigger is. I have found example of how to do this on Update when it's a complete row you want to log, but not a specific field. In addition, I also need to know if someone is attempting to read certain data and who that user is. If the user is not someone that is allowed to read the data, then I need to send an email alert.
I believe it's possible to do the above (despite my lack of knowledge :) -
Does anyone know where I can get more information on how to accomplish the above - or where to start looking?
Thanks to any who can guide me in the right direction.
