Truncating Transaction Logs.
Jun 7, 2001I am having trouble Truncating a Transaction Log. I`ve tried everything in Book Online.
I`ve backed up the database, I`ve tried DBCC SHRINKFILE, DBCC SHRINKDATABASE, BACKUP LOG TRUNCATE_ONLY ...etc, but it will not shrink. Any suggestions ? Thanks.

Backup Without Truncating Logs?
Dec 20, 2007I've got a Sql server 2000 box that currently backs up to tape in full every night. I also want to back the box up off site but not in full (as 30GB is a little too much to transfer every evening).
So my plan was to do a full backup to tape at 7pm then a differential at 8pm (to transfer off site).
The problem I am having is that after my differential has been done the logs get truncated so if I want to replay them for any reason I need to get that differential back to site.
Anyone have any suggestions please?
Automatic Truncating Logs
Jan 31, 2008Hi,
I am a new DBA is small company. Some of the databases grows by few GB everyday, so I am thinking to set automatic truncating for those databases.
Is this a best practise?
Can you please recommend Ideal Recovery model after reading my current model:
1. I do Full backup every night.
2. After 6 hrs, Differential backup.
3. After 1 hr Log backup.
Also please suggest me how many time should I do Re-Indexing?
Thanks,Dipak
SQL 2012 :: Schedule Truncating Of Logs?
Mar 19, 2014We have many customers with a large database, many workers and many database transactions. Every night the databases are "full backupped". Regularly the logfiles (dbname_log.ldf) grow very large, for example a database (dbname.mdf) of 60GB and a logfile equal in size. When the drive becomes too full, I truncate these logfiles to free diskspace.
Question: is it a good decision to run a script that, after the daily full backup, truncates the logfile if it is larger than for example 10GB?
Commiting Transactions/Truncating Transactional Logs/Replication Latency
Feb 22, 2008Hi,
I have multiple questions and would appreciate any suggestions in resolving them. I'm a novice to these issues.
1) First of all, what is the exact command to setup the trunc. log on chkpt. option on for a transactional log of a SQL Server 2000 database? Is this option on by default? I have noticed for one of the databases I'm managing that the transaction log was over 12 GB, while the db was only 425 MB.
2) How's it possible to run a DBCC TRACEON to see the content of the transaction log to see if we are having any issues with any uncommitted transactions, i.e. updates, inserts, and/or deletes.
3) What are the commands to truncate inactive transactions and increasing the readbatchsize?
4) lastly, how do I validate transactional replication via checksum and find valid latency between a small number of changes that need to be committed between publisher and subscriber.
Thank you so much in advance!
Sincerely,
Alla
DB Engine :: Write Logs To Windows Event Logs?
Aug 6, 2015OS: Windows 2012 Enterprise
SQL Server: 2012 Enterprise
I was wondering if there is any way all SQL Server error log entries could be automatically written to Windows Event Log.
SSIS Logs Vs Custom Logs Components
Feb 12, 2007Hi,
In my case I have to log the errors raised by any task in a package to either windows event log, text file or SQL server. Also I need to send an email notifications to a group of people telling them about the error.
Now can I use SSIS package logging for logging the errors into the required destinations. I mean right clicking on the package and selecting Logging, then adding the required log providers and enabling the events for logging into those. I think I have to upfront select the log providers to log the error, I will not have the liberty to log the error to the destination, the name of which is passed as a variable to the package. This is okay with me though.
Now what will a custom log provider help me to do in this case. Also can I somehow configure my package to call the send mail task everytime an error is raised.
Also, one more option can be developing a package that only does the error handling. It will take in the paramters or the error codes and descriptions, the destination to write to and a flag to send mail or not for that particular type of error.
What do you think? Kindly advise.
Thanks in advance for your help and time.

SQL Server Logs (error Logs)
Aug 28, 2001When looking at SQL Server error logs, I noticed that the current error
log had grown to 1MB whereas most of the files are only a few KB.
QUESTION 1: Can I set the max size for an error log file? If so, how?
QUESTION 2: If not, is there a workaround?
Thanks
LogShipping
Aug 15, 2001Hi,
I am trying to do logShipping from one server to another.
I created the logins and restored the DB(user) with the option -
"Leave DB ReadOnly and able to restore logs"
I was surprised to see that the DB got restored but there were no users in that DB.
Since this is a read-only DB I cannot run commands like Sp_change_users_login etc.....and neither can I create a user.
Any thoghts what might have gone wrong?
TIA.
LogShipping
Jul 30, 2003Hi,
I have a question.
We have created a Logshipping (customized).
(We didn't use the logshipping wizard SQL 2000)
On Primary server
The backup strategy is :
Everyday we take a Fullbackup followed by every 15 mins we take transaction log backup.
Day 1:
Full Backup at 12:00 AM
Transaction log backup from 4:00 AM to 11:45 PM
Day 2:
Full Backup at 12:00 AM
Transaction log backup from 4:00 AM to 11:45 PM
Day 3:
.
.
.
On Secondary server
Everyday will restore the full backup daily and followed by the transaction log backup restore with no recovery mode.
Day 1:
Full Backup Restore at 2:00 AM
Transaction log backup Restore from 5:00 AM to 12:45 AM
Day 2:
Full Backup Restore at 2:00 AM
Transaction log backup Restore from 5:00 AM to 12:45 AM
Day 3:
.
.
.
The problem we have is
A third server which is remote need the full backup for the first time only and everyday they need a log backup alone and not the daily fullbackup to logship the server. Will that be possible
using the logs alone for logshipping but not considering the full backup file.
Third server
Like:
One time Full Backup Restore at 4:00 AM
Day 1:
Only
Transaction log backup Restore from 9:00 AM to 4:45 AM
Day 2:
Only
Transaction log backup Restore from 9:00 AM to 4:45 AM
Day 3:
.
.
.
Don't the server throws an error saying that
Msg 4305, Sev 16: The log in this backup set begins at LSN 13000001816200001, which is too late to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN 13000001723100001 can be restored. [SQLSTATE 42000]
Msg 3013, Sev 16: RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000]
We don't know how to fullfil the request. I don't think Logshipping wizard skips the full backup file for logshipping if it has been schedule for full backup everyday and logbackup every 15 mins.
Please help. is there anyway we can solve this problem.
Thanks,
Anu

Jul 12, 2004I have setup logshipping between 2 SQL Server 2000 servers. It looks like everything is working (The transaction log files are being created, The log files are being copied to the secondary server. The restore job on the secondary server is running every 15 minutes successfully).
I cannot tell if it is actually applying the transactions.
If it is applying the transactions, it is not updating the monitor.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this problem?

Replication And Logshipping
Aug 18, 2004Hi Guys,
Our servers are all standard edition of SQL Server 2000. We are trying to build Disaster recovery site with standby sql servers.
We have 2 options for this:- one is Replication(Transactional) and the other is Logshipping.
Since we don't have standard edition, Log shipping is not and option. However, we can buy just one sql enterprise edition for this pupose if logshipping requirs only one enterprise edition.
IF I CHOOSE THE LOGSHIPPING OPTION, CAN I IMPLEMENT THE STANDBY SERVER BY ONLY HAVING ONE ENTERPRISE EDITION SQL SERVER (STANDBY SERVER) where as all the pulishers are standard edition sql servers??
IF NOT IF WE CHOOSE TO GO BY TRASACTIONAL REPLICATION, HOW HARD IS TO CREATE THE STANDBY SERVER WHEN WE HAVE MOST OF THE TABLES WITHOUT PRIMARY KEYS PERTICULALY FOR THIS SERVER??
Thanks for your input and I always appreciate all you guys help in this forum.
Thanks

Logshipping Mystery.
Jul 17, 2007Hey All,
Hope this is the right place for this post.
I set up logshipping between two databases recently. everything looks fine. the backup, copy and restore jobs are all suceeding(from the job log). the problem is no Tlogs are being restored in secondary database. The restore job skips all the tlogs and says it did not find any tlog back up file to restore!! The jobs finishes with this:
007-07-17 14:40:30.59 Could not find a log backup file that could be applied to secondary database 'SaaSNet_dataStore'.2007-07-17 14:40:30.59 The restore operation was successful. Secondary Database: 'SaaSNet_dataStore', Number of log backup files restored: 02007-07-17 14:40:30.59 Deleting old log backup files. Primary Database: 'SaaSNet_DataStore'2007-07-17 14:40:30.59 The restore operation was successful. Secondary ID: '5808a414-2ada-41d2-a8a0-2cf84f85174a'

LogShipping And Database Backup
Mar 2, 2006Hello,
have a question about logshipping and full database backup: during a full database backup the log will be backed up too and emptied. If I run a full backup on databases which is setup for logshipping - does it mean I will loose data on the standby side ?
Thanks in advance,

Logshipping - Backup And Restore
Sep 6, 2007Hi
I am new to Forum. So not sure if i am posting my problem under the right topic.
We have a sql server 2005 enterprise edition 4 way cluster on windows 2003 advance server.
I am logshipping these database to a different server at a different location.
My logshipping went fine until one the cluster server failed and the server instance failed over to another node.
The backup that happened around that time got copied over to the secondary by the copy job.
The log file that got copied to the secondary server tried restoring and i think it failed int he middle of restoring it.
(You would think that the sql would knoe if the backup is in complete and will move on to the next file. Not sure what happened there.)
There is no indication of the *.TUF file in the directory where i have the log files.
I tried restoring it manually and i got the following error
Msg 4319, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
A previous restore operation was interrupted and did not complete processing on file 'sessionlog1'. Either restore the backup set that was interrupted or restart the restore sequence.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
I looked in the msdb..log_shipping_secondary_databases and looked for the last file that it restored and tried restoring it again with the following restore command by removing and adding some of the keywords that you see after the "WITH" clause.
MSFT do not recommand to use continne_after_error unless its absolutley necessary. I stilll get the above error.
restore log sessiondata
from disk = 'I:sql13qasmlogssessiondatasessiondata_20070901124516.trn'
with restart, CONTINUE_AFTER_ERROR, norecovery
When i add the restart int he with clause,
The restart-checkpoint file 'J:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.5MSSQLBackupsessiondata.CKP' was not found. The RESTORE command will continue from the beginning as if RESTART had not been specified.
Msg 4319, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
A previous restore operation was interrupted and did not complete processing on file 'sessionlog1'. Either restore the backup set that was interrupted or restart the restore sequence.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
I checked it the backup directory and i can't locate the .CKP file.
Does anyone ever come accross this issue?
Is there anyother way i could recover this DB in a standby or norecovery mode.
Any kind of help to resolve this issue (beside copy the full backup and redo the whole log-shipping process again) would be appreciated. sicne my primary and secondary server are totally ina different location, i need to ship a tape, if i need a full backup. This is the 3rd time its happening on that cluster. its frustrating to ship a tape everytime this happens.

Setting Up Logshipping With Mirroring
Jun 21, 2007In my environment Mirroring is set up and the Principal/Primary and secondary are set up as well. I am having trouble added my mirror as a logshipping primary.
BOL says to create the Mirror/Primary I need to use the Transact-SQL commands. But sp_add_log_shipping_primary_database checks to make sure the status of the database is "Online". So when I run sp_add_log_shipping_primary_database to add the mirror db as a Primary I get the following error:
Msg 32008, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_add_log_shipping_primary_database, Line 58
Database TestMirror is not ONLINE. Cannot proceed with log shipping primary processing.
Am I doing something wrong? I am following the BOL page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187016.aspx .
Zip,unzip,restore Logshipping
Feb 6, 2008
Hi
We are planning to setup log shipping model being setup between two sqlserver 2005 enterprise edition.
Our transaction log backup sizes are not consistent through out the day.The following is the scenario.
T1 at 8.00 -- 315MB
T2 at 8.30 -- 152MB
T3 at 9.00 -- 2.5GB
T4 at 10.00 -- 500MB
The bandwidth available is 25MB/minute. We are taking the backups of Tlogs at 30mins interval.Now at 'T3' log transfer we want to zip the file on the primary server,copy the file over the WAN and unzip it standby server.
Now i wanted to know whether to perform this kind of action(Zip,copy,unzip), can i create a separate job on primary ?? which will put the unzipped file on standby and allow the log shipping job to restore the log file (T3)
Also i wish to carry my T3,T4 etc backup -- copy-- restores through my Log shipping activity.
I cannot take 15mins backup on primary server to reduce the transaction log backup size.Thts another constraint i have.
Also tell me how to zip and unzip thru command line if u hve any link.
Please advice me
thnks for the help in advance

Recovery :: Logshipping Restore Job Fails
Jun 5, 2015I am set up log shipping as backup and copy every one hour and restore every ( disconnect users and stand by) one hour on servers in same domain. Set-up completes successfully.Copy job works as expected. but the restore job fails intermittently to restore the .trn file saying ' could not apply log, data invalid' .
when i delete and copy the files for which restore failed manually using CTRL+C and CTRL+V across network and re run the restore job it does restore successfully . Through out the day i get about 5-6 problematic .trn files on secondary server which are copied from primary server and when restore fails i have to manually delete the log file which had problem restoring and then copy that file again using CTRL+C and CTRL+V then run the restore and it gets restored successfully.when running restore filelistonly on the logfile in issue on secondary server it gives below error
