Transfer Initial Snapshots Using A Removable Disk
Apr 24, 2006
Hello Everyone,
I am new to SQL Server Administration/
We have a distributed system running on IP-VPN Network. Every site in the network has one SQL Server 2000 standard server database running on Windows 20003 server.
I am setting up Merge replication on every site where the database is updates are consolidated in the main database.
I have no problem in setting up merge replication, and system is working ok as of now.
But some of remote sites are located in different geographical locations and I want to transfer the Initial snapshots using a removable device, which I want to manually restore at those remote sites, and then enable the merge replication.
I have already read thru many manuals, websites etc to find out how to restore the initial snapshots on the subscriber, but can not find any info.
This is PUSH replication where the distributor is pushing the updates to the different remote subscribers.
My deadline for implementation is approaching and I will very much appreciate any help in this matter.

Hi
Heads up on TEMP files
I've been running web Synchronisation for over a month. Just today some subscribers received a message warning of an "OS Error" could not retrieve file "dynsnapshotvalidation.tok". Sometimes they also got an error regarding low or no virtual memory. After much investigation it seems that the Web Server hosting the web sync IIS had literally no space left on the system c: drive. It also turns out that the \WindowsTEMP folder contained over 9GB of snapshot files.
It seems that when the Web server collects snapshot files from Data Server to deliver to the subscriber it creates a Temp copy on it's own local system. Unfortunately this temp data is not cleaned up and over time has jammed up the system and caused this failure.
Is there an answer to this or does it involve manually checking the server from time to time to clean-up the TEMP folder?
Has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks
Rab

Hi,
I wanted to create a removable SQL Server 7.0 database. So I created the database using the sp_create_removable system stored procedure, imported objects and data, ensured that the database is configured properly for distribution on removable media (using sp_certify_removable system stored procedure), and detached it from original SQL Server. So far, so good. The database consists of 3 files: MYDB_SYS, MYDB_DATA and MYDB_LOG. I copied
MYDB_DATA on a CD, and MYDB_SYS and MYDB_LOG on hard disk of a different server. If I execute the following statement:
Execute sp_attach_db
@dbname = 'MYDB'
, @filename1 = 'C:MYDB_SYS.MDF'
, @filename2 = 'E:MYDB_DATA.NDF'
, @filename3 = 'C:MYDB_LOG.LDF'
I get the following messages:
Server: Msg 5105, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
Device activation error. The physical file name 'E:MYDB_DATA.NDF' may be incorrect.
Server: Msg 945, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
Database 'MYDB' cannot be opened because some of the files could not be activated.
Server: Msg 1813, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not open new database 'MYDB'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
I can successfully execute the above statement if I make MYDB_SYS.MDF file read only, but then MYDB is created as read only, and this option can not be changed.
Please, help.

Does anyone out there work with databases created using sp_create_removable?
I am encountering a situation that is a difference between 6.5 and 7.0 handling of these types of databases. In 6.5, our product creates a removable database on a fixed hard drive. When the user is ready to move the database to a jazz or zip drive, we set the database readonly and remove the log file. No problems. We can use sp_dbinstall witout a log file and everything works just fine.
In 7.0 we do the same thing, however, when we attach the database via sp_attach_db (which replaced sp_dbinstall), SQL Server 7 creates a new log file.
Is there any way to make SQL Server NOT re-create this log file?

If I return the Average, Minimum, and Maximum values for the counter Physical Disk: Avg. Disk Queue Length, and those values are 10, 0, 87 respectively, which value do I use to compute the Avg. Disk Queue Length for a 4 disk array(RAID 10): Average, Minimum, or Maximum? The disk(lun) is on a SAN.

Hello,
I am trying to setup a test cluster and am having an issue. When I try to create the resource of a physical disk it takes both the drive e: and drive q: and doesn't seperate them into two physical disks as resources. This means when I try to associate the quorum disk it links the to physcial disk resource of drive e and q. Then when I try to install SQL2k5 I get the warning about installing SQL on the quorum disk. Am I missing something? Is there a way to seperate e and q onto two physical disk resources so I can specifically associate the quorum to q and the sql to e or should I be setting the quorum disk to a majority node set? Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
Ok here goes,
I have a three tier system using SQL server 2000, we are currently experiencing IO bottle necks on our SCSI Raid 10 array, which holds the Data and the logs in separate partitions.
So my options as I understand it are:
Get Enterprise edition
or
Get another physical raid 10 array and separate the logs and data i.e. data on one array and logs on the other array.
I would like to try the latter but I am totally unsure how much difference this will make or whether it will make any difference at all.
Does anyone know how much performance increase I will get from using two arrays as opposed to one?
Any other advice on this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Have 3 reports that runs using a shared schedule to generate historic snapshots. This has be working for months and months but out of nowhere it changed.
So now when ever the schedule runs it will generate the historic snapshot for 1 report but NOT the 2 remaining. As a strange twist the report that is successful changes from time to time...
SQL Server 2000, RS+SP2.
Any ideas?
Thanks

We will soon be going to a new ERP system using MS SQL 2000. I'm looking into possible backup strategies. The database size will be about 50 Gigs.
We have a SAN, which the new ERP system will be backed up on. I know a little about a SAN, but I need to make decisions about the types of backups to make. We can have 10 active snapshots, so I could use snapshots during the day as a point in time backup. I could also use the SAN snapshot instead of using a full backup. Would it be safe to use the SAN snapshots instead of the normal SQL Server backups? I’m not sure how long it will take to do a full SQL Server backup because the server is still in testing mode. I’m not getting the big picture about when to use snapshots and when to use regular SQL Server backups.
Is it possible in Windows 2000 Server to stop the transactions and flush the buffers for a few seconds to do a snapshot? From what I understand, the database could be left in a suspect state if you use snapshots to restore a database.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I think I've read some conflicting advice in BOL. Maybe someone can clarify it for me.
Under "Database Mirroring and Database Snapshots" it says:
"You can take advantage of a mirror database that you are maintaining for availability purposes to offload reporting. To use a mirror database for reporting, you can create a database snapshots on the mirror database and direct client connection requests to the most recent snapshot"
To my mind, to enjoy a noteworthy performance gain, that mirror database would need to be on another server.
But then you read under "Database Snapshots":
"Multiple snapshots can exist on a source database and always reside on the same server instance as the database."
So how do you get the snapshot to the mirror?

HiWhat would be the quickest way to create a backup and revert programon an sql (2000) database?- Can you create a transaction on a database, regardless of theconnections and thenrollback it all via an external program- Could you monitor the changes with profiler and then reverse those?- If desperate, could you backup the db from a tool and then restoreit? (too slow to be practical?)Not sure how to do this so any offers would be appreciatedta

If multiple snapshots for the same report attempt to generate at the same second, is there something in place to prevent them from conflicting with each other?
Our SSRS 2005 application will use a console app that we are writing to change the default parameters on each report and call the CreateReportHistorySnapshot method. This application will be multi-threaded, so there is a possibility that multiple versions of the same report with different parameters will attempt to run at the same time. We need to be sure that these snapshots will not conflict and return the appropriate SnapshotHistoryID for that report run.
From looking at the History table in the ReportServer database it looks like there are uniqueIDs and other keys that would prevent duplicates, but what if the requests come in at the same time? Is SSRS 2005 smart enough to delay for a second so that there is not a duplicate? Since the way you reference these snapshots in your URL is with the Snapshot Time in UTC format, that only goes out to full seconds (2006-05-02T00:00:00).
Sorry for the length, but I could not think of how to condense this.
Thanks,
Steve

Hopefully not too much of a stupid question.
At the moment, we are using SSRS to report off an Oracle database, if we take a snapshot of the data on the Oracle database and put it within SQL, will we expect an increase in performace/response.
And is it a good idea to keep the snapshot in the same place where SSRS is installed?
Thanks in advance.

I want to share one of my doubt about SSRS and report server,
if i use snapshots or cache to my reports in report server, is it going to make increase in performance?
if it is going to make increase in performance,then SQLSERVER DATABASE is going to have any burdens,
means is it going to down the performance of Database?
Pls give me Responce to my Questions....

Hi
I am creating a full Merge replication setup between two servers
Is there any way that I can set it up so that I do not have to create a snapshot.
Ie I would gurantee that the data and structutre is EXACTLY the same on both the subscriber and the publisher.
The problem is that my data base is over 4GB and it is quicker for me to get the data from one server to the other by doing a backup and restore.
I am using SQL 2005 with the latest SP
Cheers

I am having the huge db of 80 GB and trying to configure merge replication. The intial snapshot application is failing due to some schema issues. I have made some necessary changes to avoid the schema issues. If I try start the merge agent it is going to re-initialize the snapshot and reapplying the whole snapshot will take atleast 10-15 hrs.
Is there any way to resume the snapshot from the point of failure.. avoiding the reapplying all the data which has already got transfered to subscriber.

Does someone know if doing a reindex on a clustered or non-clustered index cause the snapshot file to grow? In other words, is the data that makes up the snapshot copied from the source to the snapshot database? If a normal reindex is done on the underlying database, will it block users from acessing the snapshot? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
I have setup my web synchronisation with very few problems until now. Initially I set the snapshots to generated by the subscriber when they first synchronise, this worked perfectly every time until a bottleneck occured after I reinitialised all the subscribers. When more than one subscriber then initialises the snapshot agent, the snapshot jobs fail because there is already a job running for user distributor_admin. The agent then retries etc, etc.. until all retries have failed. Ultimately only one of the snapshots is successfully created only after all other jobs have failed and run out of retries, it is then left alone to carry out its job.
Following this I made the decision to run with pre-generated snapshots instead so that I can schedule the server load and avoid these bottlenecks. Using the same publication I unchecked the option "Automatically define a partition and generate..." in the publication properties and proceeded to add each of the partitions specifying the correct "Host_Name()" value etc. After this I selected one partition and clicked "Generate the selected snapshots now". The snapshot was duly created but when synchronised the snapshot is not collected and used. Weirdly the merge porcess begins enumerating changes at the publisher followed by downloading 3100 chunks of data before receiving an error concerning the format of the message from the distributor.
If I check the option to allow auto generation, the synchronisation begins absolutely perfectly but only once it has generate a snapshot (Ignoring the one I created previously).
To add further weirdness, I created a small app which would generate the dynamic partitions using RMO. I used the sample code implicitly from BOL and it duly generated the dynamic snapshot job. I can then create a new Job class passing it the JobServer and JobName, it gives me the correct job but I cannot then call the Start() method because it keeps telling me the Job object is not created even though It is clearly enabled as a job in SSMS and can be right_clicked and started from there.
Even partition jobs created from within the SSMS appear as state "Creating" when I make an instance of it using the Job class.
What am I missing? Are my pre-generated snapshots not available to the subscriber because they seem to still be in the creating state? Is this a SQL Server configuration issue or have I setup the publication incorrectly?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Rab

I posted last year about getting and Expand All/Collapse All link working in reports, and it does work perfectly for on-demand reporting. I was able to get these working using the boolean report parameter and then the Jump to Report option going back to itself changing that parameter.
The issue that I have just discovered is that when a report with these Expand All/Collapse All links are in a report snapshot, clicking those links will cause it to re-render the report from the datasource at the time the link is clicked. This is an issue for one of the datasources we are using because the data is always changing, so when it goes back to re-render the counts and data returned are completely different then they were when the snapshot was first created. As time goes on the data will no longer even be in the datasource since it can only maintain 4 months of data.
Is there another way to get all detail groups to expand/collapse at once that does not require the report to be completely re-rendered from the datasource?

I am using SQL2005 merge replication and have pull subscribers on a low bandwidth link
I am compressing the snapshot into an alternate folder. Files are not put into the default folder
When I start a synchronization, I would expect the cab file to be copied to the subscriber and then the files to be extracted locally at the subscriber in order to apply the snapshot
However, what appears to be happening is that the files are being extracted from the cab file on the publisher (in a UNC specified directory) and then copied in their uncompressed form to the subscriber - resulting in an extremely slow snapshot application.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I have read about the options for using FTP to transfer snapshot files, but I am not clear whether I have to use FTP in order to transmit a compressed snapshot. I don't want to use FTP unless I need to.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Hi everybody, I'm quite new to SQL 2005 and I€™m trying to understand some key concepts regarding replicas. I need to develop an application with characteristics similar to the Sales Order Sample for Merge Replication, on the client side it should run with the express version of sql server and also the synchronization should only work via web. I try to run the sample but I got an exception in the CreateSubscription method on invoking publisherConn.Connect();
TITLE: Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo
------------------------------
Failed to connect to server XXX.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452)
I can€™t understand how this connection could work if it isn€™t aware of the fact that it should use https to connect with the server.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hi All
We are running a Mirrored instance of SQL Server 2005 SP2 (in High
Performance mode) and using snapshots on the Mirror to provide a reporting
solution.
The problem is that quite frequently the Database Snapshot starts going
through a Recovery Process. This is causing large delays in the reporting
process.
The sequence of events in the SQL logs is
1. An Event for "Starting up Database Snapshotname"
2 A series of events "Analysis of Database Snapshotname is X% complete"
This can take up to 2 minutes
3. A series of events "Recovery of Database Snapshotname is X% complete"
This recovery process can take up to 1hr 45 minutes.
The database is running on new servers and there are no apparent disk
problems.
Can anybody advise on why a snapshot should start a recovery process
and how to prevent this
Regards

Hello,
I would like to know what is the difference between a snapshot and a cached instance in SSRS?
Which one has the best performances and which one is the best for multiple users and reports containing parameters (the parameters are then passed in the where clause of the sql code; ex: WHERE IN(@param1))?
Thanks for your answers.

I am programatically adding and creating snapshots and subscriptions in report services from my application I created.
1) Is there a way to create a snapshot with user defined parameters? If so how would you do this programatically with the Web service?
2) How do you create a subscription with user defined parameters? Do you do this with a data driven subscription? or do you use another webservice method to do this?
Thanks!

Hi. I'm evaluating performance features between Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition. I've heard that Database Snapshots are only available in Enterprise Edition, but cannot find anything that proves/disproves this.
Does anyone currently use Database Snapshots in Standard Edition SQL Server 2005? (Not talking about the Replication Database Snapshots.)
Quick script to try on a Standard Edition SQL Server:
CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorks_dbss1800 ON
( NAME = AdventureWorks_Data, FILENAME =
'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAdventureWorks_data_1800.ss' )
AS SNAPSHOT OF AdventureWorks;

C: -- OS; 20GB
D: -- Apps; 20GB
E: --Data: 160GB
I want to force the report history snapshots onto the data (E:) drive, but I can't figure out what setting will force them there. Can anyone tell me how to set the path to the reports snapshots folder?
