View 2 RepliesRecently I've installed Microsoft SQL Server Health and History Tool Version 2
and The SQLH2 Reports are a set of reports that provide different views on the data
that the tool collects. But unfortunately I can be able to see Data on Performone counters
Report. I can not find optional component SQLH2 Performance Collector is a stand-
alone service of Microsoft Windows that collects and stores performance counter data from
selected servers.
The Deployment guide tells :
Performance Collector is optional, and is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center (search for SQL Server with keyword SQLH2): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx
But it does not give result
Where can I find the missing component ?
Thanks

I want to run Profiler Traces, Perfmon Checks and whatever else to see what hits the server the hardest in order to work out where I can make performance improvements. We don't have any massive problems other than more timeouts than I would expect from web users no-and-then when they do pretty simple free-text searches. I just want to see if I can lighten the load on the server in general.
Where does a DBA get the most ROI? I don't want to drift into the realm of diminishing returns where I am making changes that have no noticeable impact.
What should I start measuring first and how do you measure it? (E.g. if I should monitor disk writes in Profiler, how many writes are too high for a statement? 100? If so, is one 100-write statement per hour OK but one 100-write statement per second is not OK?)
If there is already an article for this, my apologies. I'd be grateful if you can point me to it.
Is http://www.sql-server-performance.com/ a sufficient one-stop-shop for this question? If so, have you found some articles there to be more useful than others?
Hello,
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Everybody,
Can anybody tell me how to get the number of commands delivered per minute in case of Merge Replication with Publisher and subscribers.
This way, we can be sure that even if there is a latency (due to high volume transaction processing), replication is in good shape and things will catch up soon.
Also if there are any other similar measures which can be monitored to make sure that replication is going on fine, it would be great
Please let me know If anyone has got information on same.
Hi,
I have implemented health monitoring for my web-site, using the SQL provider.
Health monitoring works fine when the website is run from VS2005, using the built in web server, all the expected events are inserted into the aspnet database. However when I deploy the site onto IIS, no events are ever inserted into the database.
I would appreciate some help figuring out why this is happening! The code that implements the health monitoring in my web.config file is:1 <healthMonitoring

I'm starting to collect and develop some scripts that will tell me the health and welfare of my MSSQL 2k server. I have a few for blocks, db size, who is on and what they are currently running.
I was wondering if you guys could share some of the scripts you guys use to watch the health of your servers.
Thanks,

What all are the command , or what for should one look out to confirm if nothing is wrong with the DB & its the application that is creating a prob..
I mean command for checking the health of the DB.
Thanks,
Hey all
I am new here and fairly new to SQL server. And yes i have a question, that maybe dumb.
My boss wants me to reporting to him the health of the DB each week. So here are a few questions.
1. What really defines the "health" of a DB? What elements should I be reporting to him?
2. Is there any utilities out there that would be helpful or can SQL provide enough info?
3. I am using 2005 standard, so I have the shipped reports in summary page. But is this enough? and can I customize them?
Sorry I am having a hard time even asking the questions cause I am not really sure what to ask. Any help or pointing down t he correct path
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
jason

Based on the description below on average how many hours a month would it take to monitor and maintain the MSSQL Server databases?
Description of IT infrastructure.All Windows Servers and MSSQL Servers are up to date on patches and best practices.
Corporate site with 3 remote sites.
All remote sites have one DC and one MSSQL Server.
The corporate site has one MSSQL Server.
Replication is performed between the remote MSSQL databases and the corporate office MSSQL database.
There is no in-house DBA. All DBA services will have to be outsourced. I am trying to determine what is reasonable in budgeting for time involved for this service.
There is one project written in MS Access using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) with the backend residing on these database.
The question is on average approximately how many hours a month would it take to monitor and maintain the health of the MSSQL Servers database by a MSSQL DBA. The DBA will not have to create any user reporting, queries, etc. Just maintain the existing MSSQL Servers database.
I have changed the following setting in SQL Server 2000:Right click SQL Server Agent and go to properties/Job System anddeselected limit size of job history log. I want to keep all jobhistories in msdb indefinitely.Is there a way to leave this setting on, but configure how much historyshows when you right click an individual job and go to its job history?In other words, I want to keep all of the job history in msdb, butonly want maybe the last 10 or so to be displayed under right clickjob/job history.Thanks.

I searched a lot but could not find something similar in my opinion need SP for it.

The RECORDSTATUS value of 1 means the record is active. A corresponding record of the same CustomerID, Tier. in startdate chronology, with a value of 0 indicates that the previous record with the status of 1 has now terminated and the startdate of the record with recordstatus of 0 is the start date of the termination of the previous record, or better stated, the end date of the previous record.
What I need to do is re-record the above data the startdate of each terminated record become an enddate for the previous record, minus 1 day, as follows:
CUSTOMERID TIER STARTDATE ENDDATE
123 A 01/01/2013 02/28/2013
123 B 03/01/2013 05/31/2013

I want to give developers access to view SQL Job history, but not let them inhert permission to create local jobs like they get with the fixed server roles.
how can this be achieved? Or can it only be achieved by giving them access to the tables in msdb and querying them?
I have this script that I'm trying to filter the results of the Job History to the day prior at 1800 hours.
It return dates prior to what I have in the WHERE clause.
What should the WHERE Clause look like?
USE msdb
Go
SELECT j.name JobName,h.step_name StepName,
CONVERT(CHAR(10), CAST(STR(h.run_date,8, 0) AS dateTIME), 111) RunDate,
STUFF(STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST ( h.run_time AS VARCHAR(6 ) ) ,6),5,0,':'),3,0,':') RunTime,
h.run_duration StepDuration,
case h.run_status when 0 then 'failed'
[code]....
So I have two steps in my job that check conditions and call RAISERROR to gracefully complete the job if those conditions are met (meaning I only want the final step to run in a specific situation). Works great, except for some reason my messages are not making it into the log. It is appending the SQLSTATE, and a default error instead of anything that I'm putting into RAISERROR.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat 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?
comparing UNIQUEIDENTIFIER columns..This query returns several rows where the [ReportId] and [LastRunDate] columns are both NULL:
SELECT [c].[Name],[c].[ItemID],[xl].[ReportID]
, MAX([TimeStart]) [LastRunDate]
FROM [dbo].[Catalog] [c]
LEFT JOIN [dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage] [xl] on [c].[ItemID] = [xl].[ReportID]
WHERE [c].[Type] NOT IN (1,5) -- Not a folder or a data source!
group by [c].[Name],[c].[ItemID],[xl].[ReportID]
order by 4
However, trying to just list catalog reports with no execution history returns 0 rows, but I'm expecting it to return a row for every NULL [ReportId] from the above query:
SELECT *
FROM [dbo].[Catalog]
WHERE [Type] NOT IN (1,5) -- Not a folder or a data source!
AND [ItemID] NOT IN (SELECT [ReportID] FROM [dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage])
I even tried casting [ItemId] and [ReportId] columns in the 2nd query to VARCHAR(255), and still got no rows, but the following queries return 0 rows and 1 row (respectively).
select * from [dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage] where [ReportID] = '0BB2209C-7736-46C8-AD02-4614EBA4F0F1'
select * from [dbo].[Catalog] where [ItemID] = '0BB2209C-7736-46C8-AD02-4614EBA4F0F1'
How can I easily identify who dropped a table?

The 'view job history' on Enterprise Manager is showing me only 4 or 5 run histories. I want to see more history on each of the jobs.Even I changed the limit to 10000 lones from 1000 lines on the server properties in the job system option, I am still seeing only the last 4 or 5 histories for each job(there are a total of 70 jobs on the server).Any ideas??Thanks.

Anyone tell me why some of my SQL-agent jobs have no history?
