I have a SQL Server agent that keeps stopping for no reason. It happens about every other day. I have to go in on the server and manually start it. What would cause this to happen? We have about 50+ computers that need to sync with the server and do so successfully without having to manually start the agent every other day. How do we fix it?
View 17 RepliesMaybe I'm just totally not getting it, but can someone tell me how to stop/start the distribution agent? The Books Online document - "How to: Start and Stop a Replication Agent (SQL Server Management Studio)" - shows how to stop/start the Snapshot Agent, Log Reader Agent and Queue Reader Agent, but not the Distribution Agent. Is it that stopping one of these agents in turn stops the Distribution Agent. I am trying to work through how to add an article to a peer-to-peer topology and need to stop the agent as part of that.
Thanks,

Hi am trying to create a snapshot (Merge replication) - My database is approx 6GB and one of my tables has 14.5M records - I have a total of 1500 articles to replicate.
When I start creating the snapshot - it seems to just stop on the Table that has the 14.5M records. When I delete all the data in that table it works fine. I have also check disk space and also the log files and tempdb size and all seem ok.
I am using SQL 2005 with the latest SP
Is there any form of verbose logging that I could enable to let me see what is going on
Any help would be greatly appreciated

prevent users from stopping sql server agent?
I have SQL2000 server installed and then SQL management studio 2008 R2 express edition in users desktop. I noticed that the user can stop the SQL server agent. Even a user is a reader access only.
Question:
I am unclear what syntat to use to stop (suspend) the log reader agent.
Things I Understand:
I understand how to manually stop the reader agent using the enterprise manager.
I understand how to schedule the load reader frequency (properties of the agent)
My Intention:
to stop the log reader agent, execute another scheduled job, then restart the log reader
Any suggestions are appreciated: comment here or send to:fglomb@crtincbc.com
Thanks!
Anyone got any "gotchas" or "nightmares" they want to share out of experience where the services have been shutdown without the proper forethought?
I'm trying to put a case in for a SQL DBA to be paged and to be in charge of shutting down the services and/or put together a checklist of things to verify first.
While I realize shutting down the services is supposed to be a graceful shutdown process I'm willing to bet there are a host of considerations.
Appreciate any Input.

when I run a package from a command window using dtexec, the job immediately says success.
DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_SUCCESS (0).
Started: 3:37:41 PM
Finished: 3:37:43 PM
Elapsed: 2.719 seconds
However the Job is still in th agent and the status is executing. The implications of this are not good. Is this how the sql server agent job task is supposed to work by design.
Thanks,

What problems could be invoked by stopping SQL Server and copying a user databases data and log files and pasting these files over existing files on another machine.
Ex:
MyDB on Server1
MyDB on Server2
Stop SQL Server Server1 and Server2
Copy Server1.MyDB files
Over write Server2.MyDB files
Start SQL Server Server1 and Server2
Make sense. This scenerio seems to work but wonder what side affects could result.
Any comments would be helpful!!
Does anyone see any negative consequences to stopping and starting SQL Server nightly?

how can I copy any mdf file to another folder without stopping sql server?
Hello All...
I am new to this forum (and new to SQL for that matter), so I hope this isn't a stupid question. I tried searching for the answer but couldn't find it here.
I am trying to start & stop SQL server through the command line so I can start & stop it as a scheduled task. Are there any switches for sqlmangr.exe I can use? Maybe another way?
Thanks....Dave S. <majordis@weco-group.com>

View 2 Replies View Relatedwe run ssrs 2005 sp2 hotfix applied - how do we troubleshoot a problem where the report server service is stopping unexpectedly several times a day. When this happens please tell me what happens to the reports that are currently running. I believe that
1) a current subscription that is running will fail - not sure if it will try to restart itself 3 times or not
2) connection to the report server db cannot be made when that occurs
this is a huge problem for us and we dont know what is causing it or how to fix it. Any suggestions would help. I can tell you that our customers flood the server with subscriptions
When I configure and test and OLEDB connection SQL Server 2005 keeps stopping with an error message as shown below. The problem seems to happen when I open the connection for ediing in Data Flow Window. There is a consistent pattern of errors (in there Event Log) relating to the Evnet Log prior to this error occurring.
Any idea what the problem is?
I have to say that my experience with SSIS has not been very encouraging so far.

Description:
SQL Server is terminating because of fatal exception c0000005. This error may be caused by an unhandled Win32 or C++ exception, or by an access violation encountered during exception handling. Check the SQL error log for any related stack dumps or messages. This exception forces SQL Server to shutdown. To recover from this error, restart the server (unless SQLAgent is configured to auto restart).

Hello,
SQL Server 2000 services getting stoped automatically when system get reboot. When system reboot they started and after 5 minutes they were getting stoped.
I went through the event log file and found that an error is occuring in sql server with number 17148.
And I also observed that there is a file called "C : P r o g r a m F i l e s V E R I T A S B a c k u p E x e c N T b e n g i n e . e x e" is executing during the maintenance process,which is stopping the sql server services(agent and olap)
This problem is generating error in sql server with above mentioned number.

Hi guys
I've been dealing with a few problems with SQL Server 2005.
We don't want to give our DBA's local administrator access to the servers so we had a problem with SSIS which I managed to resolve by adding their global group into the local DCOm group and modifying the security properties of MsDtsServer.
Another problem I've come across is when you log into Management Studio as an account that has local administrator access to the server you have the Green symbol next to the registered server, you can then right click and Stop, Restart services etc.
If I log into Management Studio with an account that has full SQL sysadmin rights but not local administrator rights to the server then the Green symbol doesn't appear and the Stop, restart options are all greyed out - all other functionality appears okay, they just seem to lose the ability to remotely stop and start services.
All of the above is with Windows Firewall turned off, if the user has local administrator rights but the SQL Server has the Windows Firewall switched on they are unable to remotely stop and restart services.
Port 1433 is open on the firewall and program execptions are there for sqlbrowse.exe
Anyone come across this particular problem before?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello:
We have a new sales force automation application for sales rep to log their contacts, etc. It runs on mssql 6.5, sp 4.
They log in and leave their connections on without logging off or leave their coonections idle .
We set the user connections fiarly high but we are concerned that the max amount of user connections weill be consumed and the sql serve becomes locked.
My questions are:
1) Is there any parameter in the sql server configuration that will log off idle users have a certain time and dsiconnect them?
2) A backup of the database will be made each night. If there is no parameter, would it be a good idea to stop and start the sql server every night to release the idle connections?
3) If so, how to stop sql server from the commadn and start it with a command line command and do this in a batch file as a scheduled task?
4) Is there any other way to release these idle connections each night?
Any information you can supply will be appreciated. THanks.

I would like to create a job that wakes up every 5 minutes or so and stops any job that has been running for, say, more than an hour.
Alternatively, when it is a jobs scheduled time to run, if the job is already running, I would like it to stop the previous execution and start over.
Thanks
Hi, I am unsure whether i can delete some system created tables from a database.
I was testing replication and then used the wizard to disable it all. I am however left with three tables that are replication based that have not been deleted. they are :
MSreplication_subscriptions
MSsubscriptions_agents
MSsubscriptions_properties
these tables are causing problems with some third party software due to the length of their names. I have tried to 'Exec sp_rename' but i get an error saying the objects are not valid for this operation.
Can i just delete them or will this cause problems if i want to start up replication in the future?
Quick question...
I was under the impression that RAISERROR stopped excution in my DTS SQL Task, but it really just passes right over it.
For example:
RAISERROR('test error',19,1) WITH LOG
CREATE TABLE delete_me (data int)
Even though I rasie the error, the table still gets created. Any ideas on how I stop the task from going to the next line?

View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently upgraded a 6.5 server to a 7.0 server. (same server)
When we try to stop the 6.5 service, the 7.0 service stops too.
Why is this happening? Aren't the 6.5 and 7.0 installations supposed to be independent of each other once the upgrade is done.
Further we would like to uninstall the 6.5 server from the machine as it is no longer being used. What considerations need be taken into account in our scenario.

I've been running SQL Server for 5 years now and have not seen the following.
We have a scheduled night run task where we do various maintenance functions as well as print out the issued insurance policies for the day. All indications are that the run completed except that I did not get an email notification of success or failure.
When I went to enterprise manager, under jobs the night run seems to be stuck in the mode of "Performing completion actions". I cannot get it our of this mode back to "Not running". Trying to stop the task has no effect.
Any ideas/suggestions??
Thanks in advance.

What is the command to stop a stored procedure from continuing to run? I have a procedure that has a problem, and due to a bug it runs wild in some scenarios, so I need to be able to stop it.
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have searched google and have found no real answer to this....
We are creating a database to support an application which is loading in data as part of the cutover from their current db to SQL Server.
The datafile is around 56GB and when the data processing occurs, as its not just inserts, the transaction logs fills out to around 65GB, and probably more, just that we ran out of space. So question is, is there a workaround for stopping the logging of this processing at all. I have seen that bulk-logged mode may be used, but the option with TABLOCK must be used, and there is no way to get hands on code which performs this processing.
Is there a way to turn off transaction loggin at any point?
Thanks,
Jim
