Slow Transaction Log-Shipping Restores (SS 2005)
Sep 21, 2007
Hello,
We have log-shipping set up between a source and 3 destination SS 2000 databases. Two of the destination servers actually perform their log restores across the network from the other secondary server. This allows us to only copy the files once from a remote location. All three servers stay caught up within 15 minutes of each other.
Recently, I added a fourth server to this that has SS 2005 SP2 (X64). I wrote a stored procedure that restores log backups from the same single location as the maintenance plan jobs. The problem that I'm experiencing is that this fourth server is not keeping up with the other three. It seems to take longer to restore the same log backups. The destination servers are all on the same domain. This fourth server was previously part of the same maintenance plan configuration as the others prior to rebuilding it for SS 2005 SP2 (X64). During that time, it stayed caught up with the other servers. There is another database on the new server that I am log-shipping to in the same manner and it stays caught up, though, for the most part, the log backups are smaller. There is a file on the fourth server with a ckp extension for the database in question that doesn't seem to exist for the other databases on this server and the other servers.
Any information on this behavior would be appreciated.

Hi all,
A few weeks back I had a problem with setting up Maintenance Plans on my SQL Server, the only fix in the end was re-install the SQL along with SP1. Since then backing up or restoring our developers database takes around 15-20 minutes whereas before it would take 1-2 minutes.
The server doesn't seem to be the problem as I have restored it to a 2nd server and get exactly the same problem there. Other databases on the same server of around the same size backup as expected.
The database is approximately 150MB's with the log file being 800MB's.
The server in question is a Dual Core Opteron 2.2Ghz with 4GB's of RAM, running Windows 2003 x64, fully patched and up to date. The SQL version is 2005 Standard Edition x64 also including SP1.
Plenty of disk space and no CPU activity even at the time of backups taking place.
Any help is much appreciated.

With Migrating from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 I realise that there are a few options available.
A SQL 2000 backup is able to be restored into 2005 and is workable however there are some issues with internals that have changed. I have identified some DDL which would need to be modified to work correctly.
If the Backup is restored and left in a recoverable state does 2005 allow for 2000 TLog backups to be restored as well ? I am assuming that as you can restore a full db backup that this is allowed.
I am asking the question as i have a very short and fixed deadline of moving from 2000 to 2005. A new datacentre is being moved to and the old DC is being turned off. all new hardware is being placed in the new DC so i need to move from the old to the new with very little downtime to the DB or app.
My approach is as follows
1. Full DB Backup (2000) copied across to 2005 server and loaded being left in a recoverable state.
2. Tlog backups copied across on scheduled basis and loaded to a point in time.
3. Test new 2005 DB with app/web frontend
4. Bring both in sync again and then perform 1 final Tlog backup, copy and load bringing app online again with very little downtime.
Has anybody tried this approach ? does anybody see any issues with my approach ? all comments welcome on this.
Thx

Hi,
We currently have a couple a large Databases running on SQL 2000 SP3 Clustered Windows 2000 SP3 environment.
Log Shipping is enabled for both databases shipping to a Standalone SQL 2000 SP3 Windows 2000 SP3 box.
Log Shipping occurs every 15 mins with the Transaction Files on average being no more than 500KB in size. However, every now and then a Transaction Log comes through and it can be as big as 3.52GB.
Not sure why this is happening. Anyone got any ideas?
Regards

I am going through a security audit on our servers. We use log shippingfor a standby database. One of the questions in the audit has melooking for answers."Are the transaction logs that are being shipped to the standbydatabase encrypted?"I am assuming no. However, I need to know definitively. I have not beenable to find an answer in BOL or in Google. If the logs are notencrypted, is there an option where I could send them encrypted, ifnecessary?Thanks,Jennie

Hi guys,
I have a server in a datacenter (SQL 2005 ent) that collects large quantities of data from our visitors. I need to set up a secondary database in our office (different geographic location) that will server 2 purposes, 1, a backup of the database and 2, allow us to perform complex queries on the data.
There is no updating of the data on the secondary server so no changes need to go back to the primary server. A database in standby mode is fine and users on the secondary server can be disconnected when it's being updated.
I have transaction log shipping working well in a staging environment (LAN). My first question is is there any reason why transaction log shipping would not work over a WAN with a VPN connection?
And my second question is can I compress the trn files for transport over the WAN. If I manually compress the files with winzip they compress by 98%. That translates into a huge saving when I am leasing a line to transport these files.
Thanks in advance
Stephen

Greetings:
When I script out my log shipping configuration from the GUI and subsequently drop the log shipping and try to recreate it with the created script, the backup and restore functions do not seem to be working; please see script below. Is there an additional step (or steps) that the SSMS GUI does not output when it creates the script for log shipping? I noticed in the GUI after I run the script that the destination folder for copied files is blank as well.
Example error from backup/restore job - Error: The path is not of a legal form.(mscorlib)

I am new to this environment and was asked to ensure that the transaction log shipping for SQL 2005 on W2K3 boxes is working properly. I noticed the db's on the secondary server are show "Restoring..." I am not sure if these were set up in No Recover Mode or Standby Mode. I have no access to the secondary db's. I get an error message when trying to access them (error 927). Monitoring was not set up initially and as you may or may not know can't be turned on after the fact...unless you delete the job and start over.
My question is is "Restoring..." normal and what does it indicate?

Hi,
I currently have a 2000 Ent. production server and a stand by server ready for transaction log shipping.
Is it possible to setup transaction log shipping on a live environment without any interruptions?
I'm currently backing up the log every 1 hour, I'd like to increase to 15 minutes.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
- Gary

Hi,
Im in the process of setting up logshipping on sqlserver 2005 enterprise edition.
My scenario is like this:
My Avg size of my tlog is 500MB and im planning to set the log shipping at 30mins interval(ie backup job schedule,Copy,restore job schedule).But at some part of the day the Tlog suddenly increases up to 1.5GB - 2 GB .So i wanted to know, wht if that 1.5GB-2GB tlog file is unable to get backed up,copy and restore at 30mins interval?.How to deal with this kind of issues where the size of tlogs are increased suddenly.I cannot do it at15mins interval due to some network restrictions at my office.
i have One more doubt about the setting on Logshipping screen:
Now let us suppose my settting on log shipping screen 'Alert if no restore occurs within' is set to '180mins', then does this setting mean that the restore job will keep on looking for the copied file in the folder on secondary for next 90mins and if its not able to find any, it will generate an alert after 90mins ??? or it will generate an error if its nt able to find any copied file after the first restore job execution.???
in the same way,
Thnx in advance for any help.
Regards

I am attempting to move some SQL 2000 databases to SQL 2005. My main production database does not seem to want to move. When I use the SQL 2005 GUI the .bak backup file is marked 'Incomplete'. When I attempt to restore the backup file I get a 'RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database' message. I saw a thread in the SQL Express forum suggesting trying to restore from the T-SQL level to get the GUI out of the picture and I get the same 'error on page (0:0)' message. However when I take the same file and use SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager it restores with no problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm experiencing a weird problem with log shipping in SQL 2005.
I've setup Log Shipping for a production database between two sites. The standby database is being updated correctly and everything seems to be working as expected but for one detail: the name of the transaction log backups are generated with an UTC timestamp instead of my local timezone.
The the data below extracted from the backup history:
2007-06-23 17:30:00.000 D:BackupDatabasesmydbmydb_20070623073000.trn
2007-06-23 17:15:00.000 D:BackupDatabasesmydbmydb_20070623071500.trn
2007-06-23 17:00:00.000 D:BackupDatabasesmydbmydb_20070623070000.trn
2007-06-23 16:45:00.000 D:BackupDatabasesmydbmydb_20070623064500.trn
My timezone here is GMT+10.
Although it's not affecting Log Shipping, it's very confusing as the full backups have a timestamp in the local timezone!
Has anyone seen experienced something similar to this? Please see below my SQL details:
1 ProductName NULL Microsoft SQL Server
2 ProductVersion 589824 9.00.3042.00

I've got log shipping set up, and everything seems to be working fine, but the log files are not being deleted from the primary server despite configuring log shipping to retain them for 3 days. Â I see no errors concerning the log shipping, but did not configure a monitor. What process is responsible for deleting the older log backups, and how can I look for errors. Â I could simply set up a jog to delete the older files, but that will only mask the issue.

Hello,
I've migrated an DB from SQL2000 to SQL2005, all it's working, but i've a "strange" problem, during the night, the transactions become very slow (no specific load) and if i restart service or I change the Degree of parallelims or Cost Threshold for parallelims to another value, it's solve the problem.
In the server logs (W2003) and SQL logs I can't see an warning or error...
In the old SQL 2000 server i've no problem...
If anybody can help me .. :-)

I received an alert from one of my two secondary servers (all servers are running 2012 SP1):
File 'E:SQLMS SQL ServerMSSQL11.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATAMyDatabaseName_DateTime.tuf' is not a valid undo file for database 'MyDatabaseName (database ID 8). Verify the file path, and specify the correct file.
The detail in the job step shows this additional information:
*** Error: Could not apply log backup file 'MyDatabaseName_DateTime.trn' to secondary database 'MyDatabaseName'.(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.LogShipping) ***
*** Error: Table error: Page (0:0). Test (m_headerVersion == HEADER_7_0) failed. Values are 0 and 1.
Table error: Page (0:0). Test ((m_type >= DATA_PAGE && m_type <= UNDOFILE_HEADER_PAGE) || (m_type == UNKNOWN_PAGE && level == BASIC_HEADER)) failed. Values are 0 and 0.
Table error: Page (0:0). Test (m_freeData >= PageHeaderOverhead () && m_freeData <= (UINT)PAGESIZE - m_slotCnt * sizeof (Slot)) failed. Values are 0 and 8192.
Starting a few minutes later, the Agent Job named LSRestore_MyServerName_MyDatabaseName fails every time it runs. The generated log backup, copy, and restore jobs run every 15 minutes.
I fixed the immediate problem by running a copy-only full backup on the primary, deleting the database on the secondary and restoring the new backup on the secondary with NORECOVERY. The restore job now succeeds and all seems fine. The secondaries only exists for DR purposes - no one runs reports against them or uses them at all. I had a similar problem last weekend on a different database that is also replicated between the same servers. I've been here for over a year, and these are the first instances of this problem that I've seen. However, I've now seen it twice in a week on the same server.

I have some VB.NET code that starts a transaction and after that executes one by one a lot of queries. Somehow, when I take out the transaction part, my queries are getting executed in around 10 min. With the transaction in place it takes me more than 30 min on one query and then I get timeout.
I have checked sp_lock myprocessid and I've noticed there are a lot of exclusive locks on different objects. Using sp_who I could not see any deadlocks.
I even tried to set the isolation level to Read UNCOMMITED and still have the same problem.
As I said, once I execute my queries without being in a transaction everything works great.
Can you help me to find out the problem?
Thanks,
Laura

I have a scenario where a customer is going to be using Log Shipping to the DR site; however, we need to maintain the normal backup strategy on the current system. (i.e. Nightly Full, Every 6 Hour Differential and Hourly Transaction Log backup)I know how to setup Transaction Log Shipping and Fail-over to DR and backup but now the local backup strategy is going to be an issue. I use the [URL] .... maintenance solution currently.
Is it even possible to do regular backups locally keeping data integrity for your backup strategy with Transaction Log Shipping enabled?

I have a windows forms application that runs on my PC that populates a SQL Server Compact 2005 database and then transfers that .sdf file to my mobile device. The communication between the mobile device and PC is done using the Desktop RAPI class from OpenNetCF (http://www.opennetcf.com/FreeSoftware/DesktopCommunication/tabid/90/Default.aspx)
Anyway, I was previously using SQL Server Mobile 2005 and my populated .sdf was around 1.7 MB and I could transfer it to my mobile device in a minute. Once I switched to SQL Server Compact 2005, the transfer process began taking 3 minutes with a 1.5 MB .sdf file. The SSCE also got bloated more easily so I added in the Compact operation each time after I fully populate the SDF to keep the file size at 1.5 MB, but even then it still takes 3 minutes.
I've done a few tests where I simply switch between the two database versions and that simple switch of the version changes the transfer time. I am dumbfounded trying to figure out what the cause might be. Since it is just a file transfer, why would the version even matter unless somehow SSCE is really not compacting and lying about its actual size.
Has anyone run into anything similar to this or may have any ideas what might be going on?
Thanks.

Recently, we had some tables inadvertantly dropped from a 20+ GB data warehouse in the middle of one of our load cycles. In order to avoid restarting the load, we had to make restore a copy of the database from a full database backup and then manually move in the dropped tables using DTS.
This ended up being a painful process, and I am looking to avoid it by restructuring the database into filegroups so I can mimic the table restore function from 6.5.
I am looking for pros, cons, gotchas, and best practices regarding splitting a MSSQL 7 database into multiple filegroups. We would be including 1 or more tables and all of thier indexes in each filegroup. Specifically, I have the following questions:
1. All the literature I read mentions the need for doing transaction log backups and restores if I utilize filegroup backups. Is this really necessary? We have turned off transaction logging for performance reasons, and since we completely control the addition of new data into the db.
2. Are there implications for disk read performance involved with filegroups? Our data resides on an EMC disk array. I feel that we'll most likely have between 20 and 30 filegroups.
3. If we decide to move a table (and its indexes) between filegroups, is the process as simple a dropping the clustered index and recreating it on the new filegroup (then dropping and recreating the n-c indexes)?
Any information y'all can post would be greatly appreciated.

Data encryption and database restores.
1. When using data encryption on a 2 node active/passive cluster does it make any difference which server the sqlserver is running on when encrypting or dcrypting data?
2. When restring a database to a different server with encrypted data is the data decrytable or is it lost?

Whats new for SQL Server 2005 SP2 states:-
"The sqllogship application is now supported."
Can anybody confirm that log shipping is not supported in SQL Server 2005 SP1?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
How/when should transaction logs be truncated without breaking Log Shipping?. I'm trying to deal with the scenario of my tlogs increasing their size as I configure log shipping to 5 min. -frequency backups.
Many thanks

Question: I have Log Shipping setup and i am wanting to verify it will do what we need. That is when a table is changed in our production enviroment that change is replicated into our other server. IE I rename a field in a table or create a new table... You know change the structure... How do I replicate that stuff to my other servers?

We have an environment where 3 SQL 2000 servers exist; one production servers and two standby servers that receive logs via log shipping. Everything works fine and it is stable. My client wants to get a new 64 bit server and run SQL 2005 64 bit version for the production box. Can we still do log shipping with the two remaining SQL 2000 boxes or do they all have to be on the same version and bit version?
Thanks
Bill

Is there any way to backup a remote SQL Server that is on a hosted account to a local drive? We have a web hosted account that has a SQL Server that we do not have full admin rights on, just dbo access to the data and structure. We would like to be able to do backups and restores to our local development server if possible. Perhaps vis DTS or some similar means? WE cannot use the normal backup/restore as we do not have right to these fucntions nor can we access the servers local drives directly.
