SQLNCLI Linked Server Error
Oct 30, 2007
I've been assigned with finding the issue behind this error on one of our production systems:
TCP Provider: The semaphore timeout period has expired. [SQLSTATE 07008] (Error 121) OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SERVER1" returned message "Communication link failure". [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7412). The step failed.
I've Googled the error to death, searched the forums here and at other SQL sites as well and have found nothing that points me at the cause. I've found the individual parts of the error but not the whole. Maybe I've just been looking at it too long and am missing something simple. Anyone have any ideas?
These are two linked SQL2005 64bit enterprise Win2k3 servers. The error comes when an automated daily job is run. Sometimes it happens at once, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after an hour. I can see nothing wrong with the server itself or the network.
Thanks in advance.

I am linking to another SQL Server database to extract data into my own system. Following an increase in size on one of the columns in a table I am extracting, I am getting the following error:
'OLE DB provider 'SQLNCLI' for linked server 'gsc-rpt.svr.bankone.net' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[gsc-rpt.svr.bankone.net].[Peregrine].[dbo].[scProblem].short_description'. The (maximum) expected data length is 100, while the returned data length is 148'
The column short_description has been increased from 100 to 1024. Writing a simple query, SELECT (max(len(short_description)) FROM dbo.Peregrine_Problem will generate the error, but if I embed the same SQL into an Excel VBA macro and connect to the server, it happily returns the result 1024. Our Access databases also link to the table on the remote server and handle the increased column size properly.
I have done everything I can think of, including deleting the linked server within SQL Server MS, and recreating it, but I can't override the setting of 100.
Any ideas?

I just installed a SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 instance on a server with an existing SQL Server 2000 SP3 installation. (I need SQL Server 2005's INSERT from an EXEC capability). It's working great now except for one thing: I can't link any other SQL servers! I've already successfully added and queried a linked Oracle server, but attempting to add a linked SQL server gives me the following error, no matter which SQL provider I try to use:
Code Snippet
"The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?"
Additional information:
--> An exception occured while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo)
--> Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SERVERNAME". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7302)
The technical details reveal the error source as "sp_testlinkedserver".
I've scoured the net and premier support for advice on this problem, but the little I found wasn't helpful. I've tried reinstalling the SQL Native Client, but it didn't help. I've tried uninstalling SQL Server 2005 Express completely (including management studio and native client), rebooting, and reinstalling everything, with no luck. The server (obviously) does not have a firewall enabled. I've tried stopping the SQL 2000 Server installed on the system, no help. If I create a test .UDL file on the system, pointing to any of the SQL servers I'm trying to link, clicking the "Test Connection" button returns successful. I'm also able to connect to and query the servers directly from the SQL 2005 Express Management Studio. I just can't add them as linked servers.
The server is running Windows 2003 SP1, SQL Server 2000 SP3, and SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 (the default "SQLExpress" named instance). I've tried setting up SQL 2005 Express to run under the network service account and under a domain account used by the other SQL 2000 servers.
From other SQL 2000 servers, I can connect and link to the SQL Server 2005 Express instance successfully. I can also successfully add linked SQL servers in SQL Server 2000 instance installed on the same server. Only adding linked SQL servers in 2005 Express seems to be broken.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm totally baffled. Thank you so much for any helpful advice.

Hello, I've a problem with a software developed in C# with the framework 2.0. This is the error I receive : The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "XXX_LINKED_SERVER" was unable to begin a distributed transaction. OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "XXX_LINKED_SERVER" returned message "No transaction is active.". If I try directly to restart the process, it works fine. Is there someone who can help me ? This is the process 1. In C# --> Call of a Query : select from the linked server (db in sql 2005) and insert into a table SQL 2005 2. In the C# --> using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()) and insert in a table in SQL 2005 which is link server Thank in advance.

Does anyone know how to configure a mirrored pair as a linked server on a 3rd instance?
Say I have a mirrored database on two servers: PRIMARY and SECONDARY.
I want to create a linked server on a 3rd machine that allows me to access the database on the mirrored pair.
This is what I'm using:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver
@server = N'MIRROR',
@srvproduct=N'',
@provider=N'SQLNCLI',
@provstr=N'Server=PRIMARY;FailoverPartner=SECONDARY;'
select count (*) from mirror.pubs.dbo.authors
and it works fine if the database on PRIMARY is alive. however when the mirror has failed over to SECONDARY and PRIMARY is no longer available, I get the following when I try to query the database via the linked server:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "MIRROR" returned message "Login timeout expired".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "MIRROR" returned message "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When
connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.".
Msg 10061, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
TCP Provider: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
As far as I can tell, it doesn't try to contact SECONDARY at all. It seems like SQL Server is ignoring the FailoverPartner attribute.
If I switch PRIMARY and SECONDARY in the connection string (ie @provstr=N'Server=SECONDARY;FailoverPartner=PRIMARY;') then it works when SECONDARY is online, but not when the mirror has failed back to PRIMARY.
Any ideas?
Piers.

Ok here is a run down of the situation:
I'm running Server 'A' and Server 'B' which are both on SQL 2005 SP2. Server B connects to Server A using the linked server functionality via the SQLNCLI provider. I am issuing an update statement from a web api in a nested transaction that uses a distrubted transaction.
However, I am receiving the following error :
Unable to start a nested transaction for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "A". A nested transaction was required because the XACT_ABORT option was set to OFF.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "A" returned message "Cannot start more transactions on this session.".
I've researched the issue and understand how XACT_ABORT works.
Also, I looked at the Linked Server provider options for SQLNCLI and came accross the Nested Queries option being unchecked. I checked the option and applied it to the Linked Server.
Okay, so after my long post my questions are: Do i need to restart SQL in order for this to take effect? If not, what do i need to do? I 've restarted IIS to no avail .

I find this most perplexing.
I have two servers, DEV and PROD. Now my DEV server works just great, I can connect to the linked server, query, etc... all is well.
So I'm setting up my PROD server and when I go to add the linked server I get:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI".... and Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection.
Now I am running SQL Server 2005 and connecting to an SQL 2000 server.
The odd part is that this works just fine on DEV.
When I go to create the linked server I set:
Linked Server: "LinkedServerName"
Server Type: "SQL Server"
and that's it.
I go to Security and enter my DOMAINUSER.ACCOUNT and then enter the login creds for the linked server.
When I click "OK" I get the above mentioned error code.
Any thoughts?

I am running an SSIS package to extract data from a source SQL Server database to our own database. The source is on a linked server. The package worked until a column size was increased on a table on the source.
If I run a query against the linked server table I get the following error:
'OLE DB provider 'SQLNCLI' for linked server 'GSC-RPT.SVR.BANKONE.NET' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[GSC-RPT.SVR.BANKONE.NET].[Peregrine].[dbo].[scProblem].short_description'. The (maximum) expected data length is 100, while the returned data length is 160.'
I've tried deleting the links and recreating them. Nothing works. I don't understand why my database query is expecting a data length of 100. Why does it not pick up the definition of the field length from the linked server? How has it retained this expectation when I have deleted the linkage and recreated it?

Hi,
I just migrated a SQL7 instance into SQL2005. Use the backup and restore method. The following was the steps done :
1) Database Backup from sql7 and restore on sql2005
2) Create user on sql2005
3) Configure SQL Native client for instance
- When apps tried to access the server, they encounter the following error
Could not find server ServernameSQL7 in sys.servers. Verify that the correct server name was specified. If necessary, execute the stored procedure sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sys.servers. - /elogs/lib/db.asp, line 70
4) As requested, i ran sp_addlinkedserver Servername. After which the apps got back with this error
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Servername" returned message "Login timeout error" - /elogs/lib/db.asp, line 70
I am unsure of how to proceed from here. Please assist.
Thanks and Regards,
Siva

Hi Guys:
Our company wanted to try out SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition (64 Bit). So, we were on free trial of the Enterprise Edition for past 5 months. After which we decided to go for SQL SERVER 2005 Standard Edition (64 Bit). And, Last week, we installed the SQL Server Standard Edition (64 Bit) on our server. After installation, everything was restored as before.
The version we are on right now is:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3054.00 (X64) Mar 23 2007 18:41:50 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
Strangely, a job which ran fine till then is failing with the following error: And, to be more specific, when this job is run manually in the form of a stored procedure using the query optimizer it runs fine. But, when its executed as a scheduled job on SQL Agent, it fails. The History logs record the following error.
Error :
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "LV-SQL2" reported an error. Authentication failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7399) Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "LV-SQL2". [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7303) OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "LV-SQL2" returned message "Invalid authorization specification". [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7412).
I tried everything possible, even recreated the job, but, no avail.
I also considered the possibility if SQL Agent login account did not have enough permissions. So, I changed the SQL Agent login to windows authentication, but the job still fails. So, its the problem has nothing to do with login accounts either.
For the record, I have cross checked all these too.
1. Enabled the remote connections in Surface Area Config
2. Added local server login to remote server login mappings.
3. Checked 'Rpc' and 'Rpc Out' under server options. Also, the Connection Timeout and Query Timeout have been set to zero (0).
Any suggestions pointing towards problem solution appreciated.
Thank you.

I have a "linked server" configured in my SQL Server 2000 (SP4) server, which used to work correctly. However, I had to reinstall SQL Server (I backed up and restored the master/model/etc databases, so all my settings stayed the same). Since then, I've been getting this error when I try to use the linked server:
Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'.
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: Invalid schema or catalog specified for the provider.].
The linked server is a FoxPro database, which does not use catalog or schema names. So, my select syntax looks like this:
SELECT * FROM Server...Table
SQL Server is aparently expecting something like this:
SELECT * FROM Server.Catalog.Schema.Table
Does anyone know how I can fix it so that it allows the "empty dot" method to work like it used to?'
Thanks!

Hi Pals,
We have an SSIS package within which we are calling a stored procedure which eventually call a sql server dbo.fn() which contains code to lookup data inside oracle using Linked Server for Oracle.
We are calling the Package dynamically from the stored procedure by creating a SQL Server Agent Job, I am getting the below error very often. Can we fix the error in any way?
“EXEC sp_UpdateTname 369,'939390',2008 " failed with the following error: "Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "ORATEST".". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
When I hard code global variables and ran the package I am able to see the successful execution of the package.
Can anybody point out where could the error lies?

Hello,
SQL Server version is Enterprise Edition 8.00.2039 SP4

Linked server deleted and recreated but nothing changed.
Any ideas ?

I'm trying to execute commands on a SQL Server on the same domain. Following the instructions, I called sp_addlinkedserver N'LinkSQLSrvr', ' ', N'SQLOLEDB', N'NetSQLSrvr' then sp_addlinkedsrvlogin N'LinkSQLSrvr', false, N'Joe', N'Visitor', N'VisitorPwd'. No complaints. When I execute a select statement, however (eg. select top 10 colname from LinkSQLSrvr.dbname.dbo.tblname) I get:
Server: Msg 7353, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata. An extra column was supplied during execution that was not found at compile time.
Tried it on different combinations of local and remote servers and I get exactly the same error each time. Help!

SQL 2000
I have a process that calls several stored procs which access a database on a linked server.
code that fails:
SELECT DISTINCT em.er_id, em.er_name, bp.bpo_id, bp.bpo_name
FROM [dbrptc13dayoldprod].ues.dbo.Employer em
Inner Join [dbrptc13dayoldprod].ues.dbo.BPO bp ON
em.er_bpoid = bp.bpo_id
Error message:
Server: Msg 913, Level 16, State 8, Line 1 Could not find database ID 6. Database may not be activated yet or may be in transition.
The database is accessible from query analyzer with a simple select from the linked server. Also if I change any letter in the ues.dbo.Employer em or ues.dbo.BPO bp part to a different case it works fine.
For example: -changed the BPO to BPo- this works!
SELECT DISTINCT em.er_id, em.er_name, bp.bpo_id, bp.bpo_name
FROM [dbrptc13dayoldprod].ues.dbo.Employer em
Inner Join [dbrptc13dayoldprod].ues.dbo.BPo bp ON
em.er_bpoid = bp.bpo_id
Please help I can't figure this one out.

Server: Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. Metadata information was changed at execution time.
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: Column 'customerID' (compile-time ordinal 1) of object '"ABCDB"."dbo"."vwCustomer_xxxxk"' was reported to have a DBCOLUMNFLAGS_ISNULLABLE of 0 at compile time and 32 at run time].
above error messages occurs when I try to run a proc which inside a query statement of select to a linked SQL6.5 database. The thing puzzled me is that
linked query to run outside the proc is just fine, but errors within the proc. the running server is MSDE 2k with sp3. Look at knowledgebase about "
DBCOLUMNFLAGS_ISNULLABLE" is only related to DB2 or SQL7 or SQL2000 before sp3.... man...

I'm running SQL Server 2000 and I have a linked server setup to another SQL Server 2000 box. I've got a stored procedure that creates a temporary table and is pulling information from local tables and from tables located on the linked server. When I run this stored procedure it bombs on me when it hits the linked server part returning an error message of:
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Procedure app_GetOfficeOrders, Line 29
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator.
Now I can run a query against a table located on the linked server that returns just a table count and everything works fine. I'm just having problems with that one stored procedure. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
P.S. I have verified that it isn't a time-out error and it isn't a permissions issues.
Thanks

I am trying to call an RPC from SQL2KSP3 to Sybase ASE 12.5. SQL2K is on an IBM Intel Server running Win2KSP4, ASE is on an IBM RS6000 w/ AIX 5.2.
I have the ASE server set up as a linked server in SQL 2000, and doing queries is working fine, i.e. I can
SELECT * FROM asesrvr.testdb.dbo.tablename
and get back all the data in tablename from the testdb database on the ASE server asesrvr.
However, when I try to run an RPC using the same syntax, I get a generic 7212 error (Could not execute procedure 'procname' on remote server 'asesrvr'. I am calling the rpc with

EXEC asesrvr.testdb.dbo.procname @output output
I'm using Sybase's ASE OLEDB provider; on the Linked Server Properties, I have

Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this further? It does not appear to be limited to this one procedure (this one only has one output parameter and one line of code, so it's about as simple as it can get for testing purposes). Again, queries work fine, so the linked server itself is connected and working, at least for queries.
Thanks very much for your help,

Does Anyone know what this means?
I run the query in the attached file on multiple servers with success but some of them refuse to cooperate. I've tried recreating the linked server on the problem servers but this doesn't help. All I want to do is check db file size and free space and get it to work. Why does it have to be so damn complicated?
Any ideas welcome - including an entirely different way of doing this.
The script and table definitions in question are attached

I have setup a linked server to a Sybase database using the ODBC driver (which in turn uses the Sybase OLE DB provider). Logged onto the box as the SQL Service account everything is good. Using Enterprise Manager from any machine to the SQL Server box using an account that is a local administrator on the SQL Server box everything is good. However, if I attempt to make a connection via Enterprise Manager with an account that does not have local administrator rights on the server I get an error. I get the same error if I attempt an OPENQUERY against a table in the Linked server database. The error I receive is as follows:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: [SYBASE][ODBC Sybase driver]Allocation of a Sybase Open Client Context failed. Sybase normally generates a SYBINIT.ERR file contianing more specific reasons for failing.]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
The drives are secured so that only local administrators have rights to them.
I found in the Microsoft KB the follownig article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=814398
In this article it is suggesting that I need to open up the server from this lockdown. So, just to test this out without having to restart SQL Server I first allowed for full access to the C drive to "Everyone" and everything was good.
My question then is, has anybody else ran into this sort of thing? It doesn't seem right that I have to open up some folder on the database server to everyone in order to get a linked server going.
Thanks

We are currently having the following problem. When trying to connect using "Be made using the login's current security context" I am getting the following error message "Login Failed for NTAuthorityAnonLogin". Yesterday this worked. The setup is as follows
SQL2008R2, nine instances on a cluster. The instance can use "current security context" when both instances are on the same node ie instance 1 node a to instance 2 node a , but when one is on node a and the other is on node b, i.e., instance 1 node 1 to instance 2 node b, we get the error above.

I am trying to use a linked server and it works as long as I do not specify the sp_addlinkedserver @provstr parameter. If I specify that parameter I always get a 7416 "Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists" error. I have tried adding the logins various ways but it's very specific to the @provstr parameter, and it doesn't even matter what I put in that parameter. As soon as I put something in there whether it is valid or invalid, I get the error.
Anyone else seen this? There is an amazing lack of any discussion about the error when I search for it.

Need to be able to run update queries on DB2 on IBM MF from a Linked Server. Select and Insert queries work but Update and Delete queries don't. DB2 connect is installed and ODBC System dsn's are created for DEV and Production DB2 environments.
The ODBC drivers can be selected when running Imports/Exports but can't be specified through a linked server.
Any Ideas??

I'm trying to link my local SQL 2005 with a remote oracle database. I have downloaded the oracle 10g client. It seems the client installed a data source driver for me to use (Oracle in OraDb10g_home2). I created a new data source named 'Company' which I have successfully connecting using that driver.
The following is the script I'm using to create my linked server:
USE master
GO
sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'Company',
@provider = 'OraOLEDB.Oracle',
@srvproduct = 'oracle',
@datasrc = 'Company'
GO
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = 'Company',
@useself = 'false',
@rmtuser = 'Company1',
@rmtpassword = 'MyPassword'
These both execute successfully.
Then when I go to make a select call:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(Company, 'SELECT * FROM CAMPUS')
I get the following error:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "Company" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "Company".
I think my proplem may be that this provider does not match with my data source.... Any ideas?

Hi,
I
was making a linked server connection between SQL Server 2000 and
Oracle 8.1.5 (both running on Windows 2000 Server), and I was creating
an insert trigger in one of the SQL Server table to insert the same
value to the Oracle table. But when I try to make an insert to the
table, the following error occurred :
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Procedure <triggername>, Line xx
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8000d048].
I
tried to change the trigger into a SELECT statement only and the error
still occurred. But when I tried to insert a row directly to the linked
server via Query Analyzer, it succeeded.
I have read KB 280106, KB
306212, and KB 329332, and I've tried SET XACT_ABORT ON statement, but
none of them can solve the problem.
If there's anyone who has idea on what's wrong or has a suggestion what I should try please help.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I am trying to create the linked server to IBM DB2 server, and getting the following error message. Can some one take a look at this and let me know. Thanks!
TCP Provider: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Linked server name" returned message "Login timeout expired".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "linked server name" returned message "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)
even if I create the linked server using the management studio I am getting the following error when I try to test the connection for the linked server.
