I have a service broker process that's in run-away mode and I cannot figure out how to stop it.
Here's the situation:
The stored procedure named in the activation queue is opening a transaction but not closing it. The receive loop has a timeout of 3 seconds, with MAX_QUEUE_READERS set to 5 so every 3 seconds I'm getting 15 new records in
sys.dm_tran_locks.
The server is at 99% CPU with no users on it.
The problem is I can't stop it. Here's what I have tried:
Reboot the box Clears the lock table and runs away again
ALTER QUEUE <Queue Name> WITH STATUS=OFF Just sits there forever
Drop the Service, Drop the Queue Just sits there forever
Dropped the stored procedure itself (!) It's still running like crazy
So my immediate question is how do I stop this crazy thing? And the follow up question is when a programmer makes a mistake, do we have to reformat our DEV box to recover from it (that's a joke) -- seriously how do you stop a run away service broker process?
Is there a way for a .NET application to receive a notification when a service broker queue has been updated with a new message? I tried using SqlDependency on an SB queue but I got an "invalid" error in my notification handler.
Such a notification would be much better than having to poll the queue every N seconds.
How to prevent the hang on the initator service broker if the target service broker is not started?
Our case has two service brokers (two databases), sometime, the target is need to turn off. But the sitation is the initator service broker (in fact, the message is sent from triggers) become hang, I want to prevent this case and continue to operation, and the messages should queue and will continue to send to target service broker when it startup. How should I do?
Hello, I receive this error "The SQL Server Service Broker for the current database is not enabled, and as a result query notifications are not supported.

I am struggling with the position SSB could take in an SOA. If I would want a broker in the general sense, meaning an intermediary sitting between applications which exchange information through messaging, would SSB be a good candidate? I know Biztalk is probably the primary candidate, but in my scenario I would end up with Biztalk apps with empty orchestrations. Also, I think Biztalk is more expensive to manage. So I am looking for a lightweight broker for a simple SOA targeted at application interoperability, no fancy business processes in sight.
A project I'm working on consists of a Main stored procedure which then runs about 30 nested procedures. The client wants to know when a certain nested SP fails, but wihtout rollbacks, as they may want to fix a data item manually (such as a missing Patient ID, that they have to call someone about). At this point, we don't want to roll back anything but halt the rest of the nested SP's and send out an email to someone that they have to check out a missing PatientID.
I'm wondering if an SSIS package would handle this better than just using a Stored Procedure. When that SP runs, it will also update a "Process tracking" table in the backend, that would update [Lastprocessran] with a number. I'm thinking that if they run the main SP again, after making a manual correction, that they could re-run the main SP, and it would bypass any step that already ran successfully based upon the [Lastprocessrun] number.
I am trying to send a message between to SQL Server 2005 instances on two different machines. I have checked all my routes and all my objects appear to be setup correctly. However, when running Profiler on the target machine, I receive the "This message has been dropped because the TO service could not be found. Service name: "[tcp://mydomain.com/TARGET/MyService]". Message origin: "Transport". This is my activated stored procedure that is sending the message to the target service. I am using certificate security. Any help appreciated....

I wonder if you can help me with a problem I have trying to support a web based application that uses SQL 2005.
The problem is that the application developers tell me that it is neccessary to stop and restart the SQL service as part of the troubleshooting process when their application stops working. Unfortunately, the customer has our application database on a clustered SQL instance that is used by other applications so they cannot just stop and restart the SQL service because this will have a major impact on all the other instances...
Is there another way that would effectively do the same thing as stopping and restarting the SQL service? I have read that dettaching and re-attaching might do the same but application developers say onlt stopping/restarting services is sufficient to break the connection with the application.
Any advice would be really welcome as I am completely new to SQL and struggling with this!
we 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
I am doing some research to see if the Service Broker technology would help my company with our Enterprise application. Here is our scenario: We have a 3 tier system. The first tier needs to contact the second tier asynchronously. Hence, using queues is a good option. However, the process that needs to happen on the second tier is mostly process intensive with little database updates. Is it still worth our time to use Service Broker?
I like the concept of Activation that Service Broker provides. But, from what I am reading most of the documentation describes activation as a way to call another stored proc. I definitely dont' want to do any process intensive work on the SQL server. So here comes my question...
How would I use a windows service to listen to the activation event from the Service Broker. I could have multiple windows services watching the same queue (scalable). Would I have to handle collisions myself? If so, I think I would rather keep it simple, and just use a simple table as my queue.
Hi to all, I want to study Sql server Service broker, have some questions1. What is the use of service broker ?2. Where this will use ? (With example)3. How to enable Service broker? Because i have sql server 2005 version but no folder like service broker.
Im having a hard time understanding everything required to create a simple Service Broker example. Can someone please assist? Source code would be ideal, but if not "do this, do that" would even be helpful.
I am trying to implement service broker. I send a message from my application code to the database to execute a specific stored procedure. How do i return the result set obtained by the execution of the stored procedure to the application.
My service broker seems to be broken... The database was restored from another crashed server but i have tried the
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::[SPYDERONTHEWEB] TO [SA];
The error i'm getting is
Service Broker needs to access the master key in the database 'SpyderOnTheWeb'. Error code 25. The master key has to exist and th service master key encryption is required.
It will be great to have an update on MS plans to solve the problem of using Service Broker for remote users who sit behind the NAT. Any news will be appreciated.
Hello , I am trying to Implement distribution of the Stock Quotes over the LAN(only within the Network) and showing the live changing stock Quotes on the front end (in datagrid) installed at each clients desktop.I am receiving the Stock prices over the TCP / IP from the Stock Exchange. I am recieving atleast 10-15 messages per second over the TCP / IP from the Stock Exchange. Now i need to distribute this feed to Each connected client.
I tried doing it from TCP / IP , but in vein. Can we install the SQL 2005 Database Client Version on every client and use Service broker instaed of Live TCP / IP connections programmatically?
Ideally Can i dump the meesages from Stock Exchange in to each connected client's database locally and each front end application will keep a record of all the incomming messages.i.e Front end have a notification event , it will referesh the Datagrid in Front end accordingly...
Is it possible to develop Service Broker in .Net 1.1 (VS 2003)? Currently I have a project developed in .Net 1.1 and I want to add a new method utilize the message queue concept (instead of using MSMQ, using Service Broker SQL 2005), although my DB is SQL server 2005.
I am looking at the Service Broker as a way to notify multiple clients that there has been data changed on a table in the shared database. These clients may or may not be online. When there is a change, the notification should fire off a query to refresh the clients local cache. Is this a situation where Service Broker would help me? Can multiple clients recieve the notification at different times ( some recieve while online, some recieve when they come back online)? Any help on this would be appreciated. It seems from what I read that the messages are pulled off the queue when a notification has taken place. Is this correct? If so, can I set it to behave differently?
Let's assume the situation: we have Initiator and Target. Target is behind ISP's NAT and can't be published outside. So, when Initiator sends a message to Target, Target will not be able to establish a backward connection and will not send an acknowledge. Initiator will retry and retry...

Can anyone let meknow how do i enable a service broker. I am trying to enable a service broker for an issuetracker application to get change of events in my database. When ever i try enabling it using the ALTER DATABASE [ databse] set Enable_Broker. it takes abt more that 2 hrs or more but doesnt show as enabled. Thanks in Advance, Pawan Venugopal
So SQLDependencies failed to do what I wanted them to do for my Cache Invalidating, so i'm going to humor another possibility for a half day - Triggers on my database table that communicate messages to my C# inside my ASP.NET App. Any advice on how to tap into a message queue with C#? I'm thinking that my messages could be 1 of about 100 different strings as far as what occurred on the Database Tables
We have a customer whos database just grows and grows. Not the customers own tables, but the:
sys.sysconvgroup sys.sysdesend sys.sysdercv
And these tables are linked to the Service Broker, and according to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179503.aspx these tables exists in every database and are used by the Service Broker.
Now to my questions =)
HOW do I delete rows from these tables? How come these tables hust grows and grows, could it be any setting in the SQL 2005 Server or is it the customer who has programmed his application wrong?
I'm in the process of doing the initial research for the architecture of a large scale, transactional messages routing platform.
My initial design called for a series of MSMQ queues and Windows Services, written in C#, to process the messages in these queues. There will be incoming and outgoing queues, queues to store unroutable messages, etc.
My application will be routing many hundreds of thousands (and eventually millions) of messages per day. These message are very small (< 200 bytes each) and must be routed very quickly. (<1 second processing overhead per message for high priority messages.)
Using the term "routing" may be a bit misleading. The messages arrive via TCP socket connections. I will just need to take in a message, examine its intended destination, and send it to one of several outgoing socket connections, likely on different machines. Some messages require higher priority routing than others, but I don't need multi-hop routing or anything like that.
Of great concern to me is that there are absolutely no single points of failure in the system. Because of this I was considering using a combination of MSMQ and Windows Services in a Clustered environment.
Can the Service Broker provide me with this kind of functionality? If so, how well does it perform and scale? Is it a better choice for messaging applications that require high transactional throughput than MSMQ?
I'm just trying to get an idea of what products/services I should look into further.

I am new to service broker and would like a little help please. I have a SP which gathers information from a collection of tables. Depending on the data gathered it may or may not begin a dialog conversation with a service broker queue. What i'm needing to know is should at the end of the SP once the required message has been sent should i end the conversation or not?
Hi, in the development env. I created the 2 dbs used by service brokers, the service brokers objects (messages, queues etc...).
The schema applied to tables and Activation SP is [dbo] and also the queues are executed as [dbo].
Everything works fine!Cool!
Now that we have to deploy evertything on production I would like that the service broker conversation runs using a specif user ( in this way when I log the Service Broker's errot in the event log I see this specific user and not my name)
Which kind of permission I have to give to this the user .. it is enought that I assign to it the schema DBO or I have to change the definition of my queues( execute as '[dbo]') or to create a new schema?
I'm not able to get Service Broker to work. I've created the following sample and would excpect to get some data from "PreisanfrageQueue" or "PreisanfrageRequestorQueue". But both they are emtpy.
What do I do wrong?

Manfred
