I have set scehduled Backup process, which suppose to run every night at 210000, and a seperate job for Tlog every 15 minutes.
Schduled job won't run at all..Job ius enabled, scheduled is enabled. SQL Server service is running under local admin account.. Then Why not job runs?
No Event Log, No Job History and no Job output? They why not Run?
I have created a backup that does once weekly BAK and every night it does TRN backup. This is in the same maintaince plan, the jobs appear as seprate jobs as they should. I have noticed my TRN is always failing, after looking into the event logs i see this.
please note this is lastest time to early:
4:22pm this is the warning that the event log gives:
SQL Server Scheduled Job 'Transaction Log Backup Job for DB Maintenance Plan 'xxxxxxxx TRN'' (0xB87B2FA07E4FB74CA01A1D38134C9C4F) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2007-03-09 16:19:40 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by User domainAdministrator. The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1).
the next is 4:22pm 18265 : Log backed up: Database: Staging, creation date(time): 2007/01/30(09:35:34), first LSN: 24624:14008:1, last LSN: 24624:14021:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=DISK: {'f:program filesmicrosoft sql serverMSSQLBACKUPStagingStaging_tlog_200703091622.TRN'}).
last is 4:21pm 18264 : Database backed up: Database: Staging, creation date(time): 2007/01/30(09:35:34), pages dumped: 93982, first LSN: 24624:14008:2, last LSN: 24624:14018:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=DISK: {'f:program filesmicrosoft sql serverMSSQLBACKUPStagingStaging_db_200703091618.BAK'}).
So for some very strange reason its running a full backup then a Transactional, for this reason i would say its failing but why is it even doing this backup? the job is only for TRN????
Hi, we run a nightly job processes, this job depends on the data entered from the frontend, since yesterday we have been entering lot of data in it, so the job that ran last night 10pm(09/05/00) is still running now and its next schedule time 10pm today(09/06/00), if the same job is already running since yesterday and if it still runs till 10pm today, will it starts again as per the schedule or it will not run, since the same job is running since yesterday.
Does anyone has a script or knows how to find out whether the schedule job completed or not? If I schedule the job to backup all databases on server and e-mail me when job completes. But one time the job got stuck and somehow never completed. Is there a way I can schedule the job to see whether the other job completed or not?
When I change the SA password on my server the current Scheduled SQL Jobs no longer work. If I run DTS packages by themselves and not from the Scheduled job window they work fine. I am using the sa as the Owner of the jobs and my SQL Agents services use a Domain Account. If I rebuild the jobs after the sa password is change they work fine. However, I don't want to rebuild 100 jobs every time I change my SA password.How can I fix or get around this problem without rebuilding my jobs?
On production server, I have two tasks in status "performing completion action" for last couple hours. Ususally these tasks take seconds to finish. Do you know how can I kill or cancel these tasks? I tried to stop both the jobs couple times but nothing is happening.
There are no locks/blocks on current activity window.
Previously I was performing the process of populating my DataMart and then processing my cubes via 2 separate job scheduled one after the other and with about 30 minutes idle time in-between (just in case).
I now have tried to make a single job with both of the above as 2 steps (one after the other) of a single job.
However when I was done, I did a right click and tried to run the newly created job but instead of what I was hoping (that the job would start, would perform the 1st step, followed by the 2nd), it instead popped up a dialog box asking (I think) which step needs to be executed :(
Is there a solution so that when the job is scheduled to run, it should start performing the steps in the order rather than waiting for someone to select which step to perform.

I have a DTS package that consist of approximately 50 steps which pulls data from an as400 and populates a SQL 7.0 database. The package works perfect flawlessly when executed manually but won't run when scheduled.
The DTS package starts but hangs when it tries to connect to the as400, this is where the problem lies. The preceeding steps work fine but they execute against the SQL 7.0 database. I have client access installed on the server and configured. I checked and made sure the SQL server agent service was started and running also,I just can't figure why it works fine manually,but not when scheduled.
I have a very peculiar problem. I have few CommandExec jobs on SQL Server 7.0 which has been scheduled to execute at a specific time. The jobs are executing properly but, the problem is they stop after the completion. i.e after finishing the jobs they still flash a message "Executing the job" they don't flash the message "Not Running" this is happening only to commandExec jobs, I have also few TSQL jobs which are working properly. I tried even giving the duration (start and stop time) but no use. Has anyone encountered this problem? If you have a solution PLS pass it on to me. I am in a very desparate situation.
Running NT 4.0, sp6a. and sql 2k. I have a DTS job that works just fine if i go to 'design view' and then 'execute' it. But if I schedule it, the following error appears.. My question is... why? Also I modified the path from the current below (denapp02cmc$cd01.txt to the local path of the server as well... still came up with the same problem. ?? TIA! ::

The space allocated to the Log in question is 180 GB. During this time period I was running TLog backups every 5 minutes, yet the log continued to chew through to 80 GB used, even after the process was complete and a final TLog backup had been taken. It continued to stay very large until the Full backup was complete -- or something else that I'm unaware of completed. Like every other DBA I typically take a TLog backup to shrink the log, but what appeared to be the case here was the Full completed and it released the used log space. All said, will Transaction Log backups not free up the log during Full backups?
This morning I can not connect to our SQL Server 7.0 whatever from client or server. The error message which I list below:

We use windows NT authentication. We did not do any change on NT. The SQL Server daily schedule job usally stoped at 10:00AM, but today from the Window NT Task Manager, we can see that the SQL Server is still running untill now.
hi, I have settup up sql mail and did the following: 1. created an E-mail account and configured Out look by creating a pop3 mail profile. tested it by sending and receiving mail, that is ook 2. I Created one domain account for MSsqlserver and Sql Agent service. both services use same account and start automatically in the control panel-services 3. I used the profile that I created in outlook to test the sql mail but got an error: Error 22030 : A MAPI error ( error number:273) occurred: MapiLogon Ex Failed due to MAPI Error 273: MAPI Logon Failed
I really do not know what went wrong. I followed the steps from bol and still having a problem. Am I missing something.
I do have a valid email account I do have a valid domain account I tested outlook using the email account and it worked. so why sql server does not recognise MAPI.
My next question, How to configure MAPI in Sql server if what I did was wrong.
Hi, I have 2 windows 2000 server in cluster with sql server 2000 enterprise edition installed. I have activated the Server-Requested Encryption by using the sql server network utility (Force Protocol Encryption). After this, I have stoped sql server service. But I can't start it at this moment. The error is: 19015: The encrypton is required but no available certificat has been found.
Hello, I am facing a huge problem in my sql server database using access as a front end.The main problem is trying to execute queries "views" ,since they reside on sql server now,and using variables or parameters in reports and forms to filter on this query. Ex. how can the following be implemented using the same query but in sql server? Access ------ SELECT MAT_Charts.YYYYMM FROM MAT_Charts WHERE ((([Area_Code] & "-" & [GROUP_CODE])=[Reports]![MAT_Chart_C1].[MAT_Key])) GROUP BY MAT_Charts.YYYYMM;
It is specifically this statement in which I am interested: [GROUP_CODE])=[Reports]![MAT_Chart_C1].[MAT_Key]))
Hi!I scheduled a DTS-Import from MySQL, whenever I run it manually(Right-Click on the DTS package) it runs through without any problems.But firing it by a schedule doesn't work!?Just to exclude any issues regarding users/roles, I created a DTS toexport files to my desktop to an EXCEL-sheet.

Hi, I'm trying to work out how to backup an ASP.NET 2.0 site which uses an SQL 2005 Express database located in the App_Data directory. It seems that the database file cannot be copied while in use so I guess that either leaves taking the site offline or maybe the database can be backed up to another location using a scheduled task? Any suggestions? Thanks, Dale
What backups options do you have if you do not have a tape drive connected to your SQL 7.0 Server ? Can you run a SQL Maintenance Plan and backup the databases to a remote server. If not, can ARCServe 2000 backup the SQL backups to another server with a tape drive ?
I've set up several backups in the past using the backup screen. I've also set up a Maintenance Plan to back up my database using MyDbName* where the * is the familiar suffix automatically generated by the system when the backup runs every night.
The trouble is that, even though I've deleted old maintenance plans and scheduled backups, they're not going away. Every morning, I see new nightly backups of old backups etc., in the backup folder. Furthermore, the maintenance plan I want to backup my database isn't creating a backup file.
How can I make the old backups stop running, and make sure the new backup runs? I've gone through everything and can't seem to find any residue of these old scheduled backups--yet they still run! Can anyone help?
We are having problems with our tape drives so we are attempting to back up our databases to disk. I have a whole server on the network I could use for this. When I use the backup that comes with SQL 7.0 it won't allow me to choose a network drive. It looks like it must be a local drive. Is there a way around this so I could back it up to this other server. I jave 32 gig available on the server which would be plenty. We don't have enough disk space on the local drives to back it up. We have been having problems with our current tape drive company Exabyte. Does anyone have any recommendations. We are thinking of switching to another company.
I currenntly backup several databases to thier own unique device. Each backup is executed as a full backup (databases are small)and they are set to expire after 7 days. I checked my devices after 7 days and they continue to grow in size - is this right? I expected the device size to hold constant once I had a rolling seven days of backup (The databases don't change in size from day to day) Any ideas?
I'm using the database maintenance plans to backup my databases. We are backing them up to tape. Is there a way within the database maintenance plan to tell it to format the tape instead of appending it to the tape.
I am trying to make sure I have my backups scheduled correctly and in the correct spot. We have a tape drive on the server which is backing up the databases each night. The logs I have them currently being backp up once an hour to disk. My question is would it better to have the logs back up to the tape drive or to disk. The server where I'm backing up the logs to has 2 drive C and D. Where D contains the data and C contains the application/program files. I'm assuming I wouldn't want it on D since if there was a crash with that drive and we lost the data we wouldn't be able to get the logs for that day so it would be better to put it on C. What are most people doing to backup there logs. At the end of the day after a full backup I clear the device that contains the log backups. It this good practice?
How do you backup to a remote drive? The book says that inorder to backup to a remote drive, you need to log on with a domain NT account with administrative privileges. I am unable to log on with a domain account and backup to a mapped drive.
For example, S1 and S2 are two servers in the domain D1. The NT domain administrative account is A1. I need to backup a database D1 on S1 to a location on S2. For this I do the following. On S1, sp_addumpdevice 'disk','dump_dev','s2sharenamefilename.bak' On executing, I get,
(1 row(s) affected) 'Disk' device added.
Then when run the command, backup database D1to dump_dev I get the following error,
Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot open backup device 'dump_dev'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details. Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
The event log shows the following error message:
BackupDiskFile::CreateMedia: Backup device 's2sharenamefilename.bak' failed to create. Operating system error = 1326(Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.).
Please let me know how to back up to a mapped drive using TSQL and Enterprise Manager.
I have a dump device configured to append the backup file each time a backup is run. This file has grown extremely large. Im looking for a way to go into the file and delete all but the last 2 or 3 backups. Is there a way to do this?
Hello, is there any backup software (archserve,ultraback) that has a sql agent for 7.0 ? I have not found one yet. Charlie Principato Dialamerica Marketing,Inc.
I have a SQL2K/SP3 database with an MDF of 4GB and an LDF of .5GB. If I do a backup using Enterprise Manager, whether manually or via a DB Maintenance Plan, I get a .BAK of approx. 2GB. If I do a backup using: USE master EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'RAMScopyBAK', 'F:MSSQLBACKUPRAMScopyRAMScopy.BAK' GO
BACKUP DATABASE RAMScopy TO RAMScopyBAK GO
I get a .BAK of 24GB !!!
In the end I want a T-SQL step to be part of a SQA job that will back up the database, thus the use of the dumpdevice command. I could create a maintenance plan, disable the jobs it creates, and then start them via sp_start_job, but this is just an example of a systemic problem; i.e. I'd have to do individual maintenance plans for more than one database.
For a lot of smaller/medium sized systems that I administer, I tend to use SQL Server to backup to a backup device and then let the normal system backups backup the dump files to tape.
However, I am taking on a new system with approx 900Gb of data. We dont want to buy another 900Gb of disk to secure the databases ! I have found the SQL Agents in Arcserve 2000 to be unreliable to say the least. (we dont want to stop the SQL Services either)
Would anyone recommend alternative software to backup large databases.
