SQL Server 2014 :: Error Using PowerShell Script For Restore Job
Sep 29, 2015
I'm trying to create a restore job for restore job in sql using PowerShell but I get the following error:
The job script encountered the following errors. These errors did not stop the script:
A job step received an error at line 1 in a PowerShell script. The corresponding line is 'Set-location "filelocation"'.
Correct the script and reschedule the job. The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'Cannot find path 'filelocation' because it does not exist.
' A job step received an error at line 3 in a PowerShell script. The corresponding line is 'get-childitem -Filter '*.trn' | Select FullName, LastWriteTime | sort LastWriteTime -Descending | ft -AutoSize'.
Correct the script and reschedule the job. The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'Cannot call method. The provider does not support the use of filters. '. Process Exit Code -1. The step failed.
I have a SQL Server 2014 instance running on a SQL Server 2008 R2 server. The server is not clustered, it is just a stand alone SQL Server. The syspolicy_ purge_history job fails every now and then with the error message: "A job step received an error at line 1 in a PowerShell script. The corresponding line is 'import-module SQLPS -DisableNameChecking'. Correct the script and reschedule the job. The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'Access to the path 'PowerShell_CommandAnalysis_Lock' is denied. '. Process Exit Code -1. The step failed."
Google isn't bringing up much besides the whole"If this is a clustered server make sure you have the right server name in the command" answer, which isn't the case here. Some days this job fails and some days it succeeds. I have checked out task scheduler to see if there were any conflicts there, found nothing. Nothing in the event viewer either.
I would like to use powershell commands within my TSQL scripts. how to do that?
The reason is that up until now I have been using SQLCMD and XP_CMDSHELL to rename files before importing them into a database. Powershell is a better tool for this job.
I have a new problem with doing a restore of a number of databases using powershell. The script I'm using is based mainly on this one (Part 2 in particular): [URL] .....
The problem I'm having is around the RedgateGetDatabaseName function. My hunch is that its down to the different version of red gate and how sqlbackup works. Basically when the call is made to the function it is returning both the Database Name and the number of row's that the SQL command in the function has ran. I've tried to include a SET NOCOUNT ON at the start of the SQL command in the function but its still returning the now count.
I am searching for a Powershell script which picks Windows Server names from SQL server table(eg: Instance.DB.tbServerList) & writes last reboot date to SQL server table(can be same or different table).
In Windows Server 2012. How do I do a System Restore to a previous restore point?I need to install the 64 bit and 32 bit Oracle Client Install for connections in SSIS and to create Oracle Linked Servers.
If you make a mistake it is not fun removing it. Sometimes it corrupts the machine and it is difficult to uninstall since there is not an Oracle Universal installer for Oracle 11g.If you install the 32 bit before the 64 you mess up the machine.how to create a restore point.
I am trying to automate the setup of SQL server 2014 Standard edition with SSRS. To avoid SSRS being setup using the default port 80 for the webservice and report manager url's, I've chosen to install SQL server with the setting RSINSTALLMODE="FilesOnlyMode" and then use powershell to do the final setup steps.To setup the ReportServer database, I use the "GenerateDatabaseCreationScript" method available in the "MSReportServer_ Configuration Setting" class.
This succeeds without problems however when I use my browser to connect to the web service or report manager url's, I get a "rsInvalid Report Server Database" and a "rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable " error, respectively.Running the stored procedure named GetDbVersion in the ReportServer database returns "C.0.9.45". If I delete the ReportServer database and then recreate it database manually with the Report Services Configuration manager, the same stored procedure returns "162".
So it seems to me there's a problem with the GenerateDatabaseCreationScript but I can't find any information on this. How can I automate the setup of SSRS and ensure it does not use port 80? There are many manual solutions involving multi-step GUI solutions but the key for me is to automate this with powershell which doesn't appear to be possible.
My sql databases in SQL Server 2014 has the status "suspend" as I saw in SQL Management Studio. I can't restore to serviceable condition sql databases through standard procedures. I need to restore .mdf file.
when execute the restore log command, in the messages window it shows how many seconds the restore takes, at the meantime, on the status bar, it also shows the seconds the command takes.
Two values are different and could be very different, please see below examples , restoring takes 1.8 seconds, but in total the command takes 4 seconds to complete, the other one is 8.1 seconds and 12 seconds.
What does SQL Server or Windows do after the restoring?
pic a:
pic b:
I did a xperf, I can see after the restoring is completed, sql server did garbage collect and log write, which just run very quickly, but storage is busy on reading the log file for nearly 2.2 seconds( 4-1.8), and 4 seconds ( 12-8.1) .
pic 1:
pic 2:
see pic 1 above, from 13 to 17, the restore operation is finished, but the storage jump to 100% active to do some reads, only reads no writes. zoom that period shows pic 2, it read 4096 (I don't know the unit size) for about 4 seconds, what does this do?
Data file, log file, backup file are no different drives, but all local drive, the interesting point is the read jumped after restoring, I tested it on different server, same result...
I have a database which gets refreshed on the daily by restoring 1 transactional file log, at the moment it is done manually but I'm trying to create an automation job which would get the transactional life file and restoring it.
I have two databases like each other that one is the backup of another. Each DB have 2 filegroups. I want to replace one filegroup from one db to another. How do I do this? Or how do I backup and then restore?
I'm trying find a way of crating an sql server job which would restore only transactional log file just once a day. The trouble I'm having is trying to get only the latest transactional log file it it possible to achieve through e.g powershell etc as I can't find a way through sql query?
is there a way to restore all file groups except one? example: Database A has 10 filegroups, but 1 of them is defunct, so i cant delete it and there's no backup for restore it.Can I create a new DB restoring the 9 good FGs from a database A's backup?
I have an issue to restore an encrypted backup via GUI.I can restore an encrypted backup on another instance using t-sql command, but cannot do the same using the GUI of sql server 2014. The message error is: No backupset selected to be restored.I have restored the master key from the instance where the encrypted backup was created on the instance where I want to restore the encrypted backup, then restored the certificate. I managed to open the master key. I have the following versions:
On the instance where the encrypted backup is taken: Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.2000.8 (X64) Feb 20 2014 20:04:26 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200: )

I have a windows 8 pc that I just got and installed sqlexpress 2014. My buddy haw windows 7 and installed sqlexpress on his pc. We create a db on his pc, did a backup, copied the backup to my pc. In ssms I right click on "database" > restore database. click device and the button to find my file. I navigate to the folder where the file shows in file explorer but the .bak file does not show in ssms to restore from. This is probably a windows thing but I have don't know what to look at.
What is the best method to restore a DBTest1 (with one .mdf and one .ldf) into DBTest2 (with one .mdf, multiple .ndf data files and with 4 filegroups associated with specific data files). I do not see how the one .mdf file (in DBTest1) can be separated into the other 4 filegroups (in DBTest2). This does not sounds like it is possible with Backup DBTest1/Restore to DBTEST2 or (Detach/Attach) because the underlying filegroup and file structure is different.
What method should be used to get the data and structure from DBTest1 (includes 1100 Tables and 550 GBs of Data) into DBTest2 (with 4 filegroups)? Is the following possible:
1) First, in DBTest2, execute a script to create tables/indexes on appropriate filegroups.
2) In DBTest2, use scripts to pull data from DBTest1 into DBTest2, for example INSERT INTO DBTest2.dbo.tables with SELECT FROM DBTest1.dbo.tables OR use SELECT/INTO DBTest2.dbo.tables FROM DBTest1.dbo.tables.
Or, is it possible to use the BULK INSERT or BULK COPY Options? Export/Import Wizard?
Does the Create Index step needs to be done after the data is loaded into DBTest2?
I have SQL 2014. When I try to restore a user database using SSMS GUI, the Restore Database Pop up box never pops up. This happens for any database on this server at any time. Sometimes I get the pop up, some times I dont get.
So I tried to click on Databases on Top and Restore Database, and then select the db that I need to restore from Drop down, then it shows "creating restore plan selecting backups" but it takes forever.
We have full backup and trn log backups every 30 mins. So is it trying to get all these backup files in the background causing this issue? If yes then how to overcome this?
I'm trying to figure out why this SQL Agent job keeps failing.
We used management studio, and connected as mydomainmyuser, and developed a script to take a backup file from a network share and restore it. It worked fine in SSMS under that login.
After we got it working , we created a SQL Agent job on the same server to run the script, and set the agent job to run under that account that we tested with.
This is the error message we got:
"Executed as user: mydomainmyuser. Create Database permission denied in database master'.
So, I gave that login the rights to Create Database and Create Any Database. Then the error message changed to:
"Executed as user: mydomainmyuser. User does not have permission to RESTORE database 'mydatabase'. [SQLSTATE 42000][ERROR 3013] RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed. "
* I can't use SA for the job account, because the SA account doesn't have rights to see the network folder where the backup file sits, so it has to run under the domain account. * The user is a member of the dbcreator role - and the serveradmin and sysadmin roles * The user is a member of dbowner on the database I am trying to overwrite with the restore * I have given the user the rights CREATE DATABASE and CREATE ANY DATABASE
The only suspicious thing I found was that it appears the server was renamed at one time. When I looked at the login in management studio, I was not able to change some of the rights. On the Securables page, it shows the server name as "MyServer-New", but the server name is "MyServer". It is a replacement, and I suspect that when they did the replacement they named it "MyServer-New", set everything up, then renamed it.
I found this post listed below, and ran the script (shown below), and it showed that the server name was MyServer and the ServerInstanceName is MyServer-New
[URL] .....
SELECT HOST_NAME() AS 'host_name()', @@servername AS 'ServerNameInstanceName', SERVERPROPERTY('servername') AS 'ServerName', SERVERPROPERTY('machinename') AS 'Windows_Name', SERVERPROPERTY('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS') AS 'NetBIOS_Name', SERVERPROPERTY('instanceName') AS 'InstanceName', SERVERPROPERTY('IsClustered') AS 'IsClustered'
I can't reset SQL until the next maintenance window to test changing the server name as outlined in the post.
Am I on the right track with the name change messing up permissions, or is there something else I need to check?
What is the best way to restore a database from a folder of backups (including full, diff and log backups) without using the backup history in msdb?
I have a restore process that restores all backups on a regular schedule in order to fully verify their integrity. To do this, I use the backup history in msdb on each server that I'm monitoring. I had a thought the other day that I would be in trouble if I lost msdb. Then my backup history would only be as good as the last backup of msdb.
What I'd like to do is read a folder of backup files and generate a restore script up to a specified time. Would I use RESTORE HEADERONLY to do this? If so, would I use PowerShell to traverse each file in the folder?
1) I can connect to SQL Server 2012 named instance from SSMS.
I can launch Power shell in any of the supported data contexts, for example from the named instance.
However when I try to run a query in Power Shell, I get the named pipes error.
2)I can also provide a connection string and connect to the SQL Server Instance form Windows PowerShell after launching SQLPS, the same as in the above. I can open the connection and verify its state, but trying to run a query results in the same error.
I also see that named pipes is enabled in the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Some of this is the result of some ambiguity in the Windows User Account in Windows 8 computer. Some of this is documented in more detail here: [URL] .....
This link is not directly related to the above problem, but arises out of the ambiguity in the Username retrieval: [URL] ....
Is there any way to restore a database of higher version to lower version.
E.g. I have created a database in sql server 2012, created some tables & procedures in that.I took Full backup of that database. Can I restore it to sql 2008r2 or any lower version.
I know direct restore is not possible, I have to use either import or export option or generating script,but i want to know is there any easy step to do so.

Hi, I am trying to get performance data using powershell. When I run the command "get-wmiobject -list" I get classes like Win32_PerfRawData_MSSQLSQLEXPRESS1_MSSQLSQLEXPRESS1Locks. However when I run the command
get-wmiobject -query "select * from Win32_PerfRawData_MSSQLSQLEXPRESS1_MSSQLSQLEXPRESS1Locks" powershell gives me an error. Why is this happening? any help in this regard is appreciated.
When I execute the following command, I get the output truncated to 79 characters, including three dots (as an ellipsis, I suppose).
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'powershell.exe "Get-ChildItem D:Databazepaleontologieprilohyverejneg -filter g417*.* -recurse | select Fullname | out-string -width 255"'When I execute the core command directly in Powershell, whether the text or ISE version, it works correctly, with or without the out-string -width command.
Get-ChildItem D:Databazepaleontologieprilohyverejneg -filter g417*.* -recurse | select Fullname | out-string -width 255What does it take to get SSMS to not truncate my output strings?
I am trying to create a job using power-shell script to move the backup files from one folder to another. I am using Ola Hallengren script for backups. Ola hallengren created a common backup folder with sub-folders for databases and even more sub folders for Full and Log backups. My goal is to move full backups, which are older than a month and save them in a different drive along with the same folder structure. I was able to move the first set of backups without any problem, but I can't move anymore files and keep getting this error even when I try to overwrite the previous file with the force statement:
Move-Item : Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
We have oracle linked server created on one of the sql server 2008 standard , we are fetching data from oracle and updating some records in sql server . Previously its working fine but we are suddenly facing below issue.

I found an article on the CodeProject website named T-SQL MapReduce. I'm trying to duplicate the SQL code there into a SQL Server 2914 Developer Edition database I've got, and also the C# code using Visual Studio. I've defined the user data types fine (e.g.: word_t, words_t and so on), but I got an error when I tried to create the UDF dbo.mapper from the page. The error I got was:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure mapper, Line 5
Incorrect syntax near 'CALLER'.
The SQL code I used is straight off of the page; it looks like this:
[code=sql] create function dbo.mapper(@documents DocumentsWithAutoIncrementIndexTable READONLY, @sep nvarchar) returns @t TABLE ( wordindex int, word word_t ) WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER [/code]
What have I done wrong? I'm guessing that the author has done something like left off a variable declaration or something like that. what am I missing?
I am trying to create a job that runs against my High Availability listener server.
It is a fairly simple SQL statement in the job - execute tsql.
When I try and run the job I get the error:
Executed as user: NT SERVICESQLAgent$SQL2014A. The target database ('BB_Prod') is in an availability group and is currently accessible for connections when the application intent is set to read only. For more information about application intent, see SQL Server Books Online. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 978). The step failed.
I thought there was a way to run a select statement as a job against the listener? The tsql step is only a select.
Is there a way to pass in the application intent = readonly as part of my SQL statement?
