Scenario
Export Server--SQL 6.5
Import Server--SQL 7
When running the Upgrade Wizard we encounter the following error message.
"Unable to connect to Export server. Please verify you are an NT Administrator on that machine".
Both Machines use NT Admin account to logon.
Both Machines use SQL EXEC as the service account.(for sqlexec&sqlserver)
Please can you help us on this particular problem.
Thank you.

Chaps,
Im trying to upgrade to SQL 7.0 from 6.5. I currently have both installed on the
same machine in a switching enviornment.
I start the upgarde wizard and successfully get to the screen where you
enter the name of the 6.5 import server and 7.0 export server, I click next
and nothing happens (appart from the services stop and restart)!
Any ideas???
On one of our test server I am trying to upgrade SQL Server 6.5 sp4 to SQL Server 7. The test server has a copy of all the live database systems and user accounts. I am using the Upgrade Wizard.
The process of upgrade stops after the following message
“Verify that code page ‘0’ is installed on your Windows NT Server”
I have no idea as to how I can over this problem. What I do know is that a code page can refer to character set. And that on the server I am upgrading the code page is 850 Multilingual.
Any help please.

To which login is this message referring? Is it the NT domain login on the import machine or is it one of the services on the export machine?

Quick question regarding the SQL 7.0 Upgrade Wizard:
I am attempting to import a set of databases currently hosted on a SQL 6.5 box into a separate SQL 7.0 server using the Upgrade Wizard. I am going through some of the Books Online articles on the general process and one of the steps that is mentioned is that the upgrade process changes ODBC and SQL-DMO components on the original SQL 6.5 box prior to performing the database upgrade. Am I understanding this correctly or does this component upgrade only apply when performing a 6.5-7.0 upgrade on the same server?
The idea is that I do *not* want to touch / affect the SQL 6.5 server at all - just get the database / login info off and into the new SQL 7.0 server.
Any comments appreciated,
RM
I am having the following error when running the SQL upgrade wizard trying to upgrade SQL 6.5 to SQL 2000. Does anyone here know what is the problem ?
Version Switch has aborted because you do not have "Full Control" permission to one of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMSSQLServ* registry keys. Please use regedit32.exe to correct this problem and try again.
I have already checked the registry and I do have full control permission on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMSSQLServ*. Please help.
I ran the upgrade advisor on a SQL Server 2000 DTS package and received the following:
Upgrade Function: Replace functionality of complex Data Transformation task encapsulated in Execute DTS 2000 Package task after package migration
Message: The SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) Package Migration Wizard does not migrate complex Data Transformation tasks in SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS) packages. The migrated package will contain encapsulated DTS functionality that must eventually be removed or redesigned.
When I run the Migration Wizard, it runs successfully, with no encapsulated DTS fuctionality that I can see. As far as I can tell from comparing the two, it looks like it migrated successfully without any help from me! I'm not familiar with the business logic of the DTS package, so am worried that I'm missing something.
Is it possible for the Upgrade advisor to be wrong?
Are there any advanced or random screens that I can check for something that might not have migrated correctly?
Thanks for any insight that you can provide!

Hello All:
I'm new to this forum and new to the upgrade process for SQL2K5. I would like to get this upgrade moving. However, I running into a few problems. Right now I am attempting to use the Copy Database Wizard. SQL2K5 and SQL2K are installed on different servers.
I made a copy of the tables for the database I am converting and this is the one I am trying to copy over.
The process runs fine until it gets to the SQL Server Agent Job. It fails on this step and prompts to check the event log.
Does anyone know what might cause this?
Right now I'm looking for the easiest solution to test the data. Is the copy database wizard the best approach? Can anyone recommend another one? Maybe backup/restore.
I used export from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and that worked, but it brought over the dbo prefixes.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Or at least a shove in the right direction.
Thanks,
Cleech
I am trying to upgrade my default instance from SQL Server 2000 Standard to SQL Server 2005 Standard. I get to the service authentication window and hit my first problem. On that window, there is a dropdown box where you should be able to choose the default instance service AND the SQL Server Agent service and set the authentication information for both of those services. That's the way it is in my test environment. However, on my production server, when I click that dropdown box, only the instance appears, and not the agent. Why?
I tried the upgrade this past weekend and ran into this problem. After researching it and not finding anything out about it online, I decided to just go forward anyway since I had lots of backups and copies of everything. The upgrade appeared to go ok, but the agent service wouldn't start. It gave the usual message when you try to start a service that doesn't have anything to do, like the Performance Logs and Alerts service. When I looked at the agent in SQL Server Management Studio, it had (Agent XPs Disabled) next to it. So I researched this and found how to enable it. For some people online, this allowed them to start the agent service, but of course that didn't work for me. Finally in my research online I found that some individuals had a lot of missing system tables in their MSDB and Master databases after the upgrade due to some of the SQL scripts that are part of the upgrade process not running properly. So I compared my system tables and SP's against another SQL 2005 instance I have, and sure enough, there appears to be a lot of missing tables. It was at that point I decided to just restore everything and try again later.
My point in writing that second paragraph is to ask if that was all due to the fact that the SQL Server Agent wasn't listed in the upgrade wizard like it should have been? Or maybe the fact that it wasn't in that dropdown box was evidence of a deeper problem? Is it likely that if I do whatever it is I need to do to make the agent appear in the upgrade wizard that my missing system tables and agent service not starting problems would probably not be an issue anymore? And why would the agent not be appearing in the upgrade wizard?
Thanks for your help!
Hi All,
I have become frustrated and I am not finding the answers I expect.
Here's the gist, we support both Oracle and SQL for our product and we would like to migrate our Clients who are willing/requesting to go from Oracle to SQL. Seems easy enough.
So, I create a Database in SQL 2005, right click and select "Import Data", Source is Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle and I setup my connection. so far so good.
I create my Destination for SQL Native Client to the Database that I plan on importing into. Still good
Next, I select "Copy data from one or more tables or views". I move on to the next screen and select all of the Objects from a Schema. These are Tables that only relate to our application or in other words, nothing Oracle System wise.
When I get to the end it progresses to about 20% and then throws this error about 300 or so times:
Could not connect source component.
Warning 0x80202066: Source - AM_ALERTS [1]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
So, I'm thinking "Alright, we can search on this error and I'm sure there's an easy fix." I do some checking and indeed find out that there is a property setting called "AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage" in the OLEDB Data Source Properties. Great! I go back and look at the connection in the Import and .... there's nothing with that property!
Back to the drawing board. I Create a new SSIS package and figure out quickly that the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage is in there. I can transfter information from the Oracle Source Table to the SQL Server 2005 Destination Table, but it appears to be a one to one thing. Programming this, if I get it to work at all, will take me about 150 hours or so.
This make perfect sense if all you are doing is copying a few columns or maybe one or two objects, but I am talking about 600 + objects with upwards of 2 million rows of data in each!!
This generates 2 questions:
1. If the Import Data Wizard cannot handle this operation on the fly, then why can't the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage property be shown as part of the connection
2. How do I create and SSIS Package that will copy all of the data from Oracle to SQL Server? The source tables have been created and have the same Schema and Object Names as the Source. I don't want to create a Data Flow Task 600 times.
Help!!!

Greetings,
I have a client whose DBA upgraded their SQL 2000 database to SQL 2005. They still have it running in 8.0 compatibility mode, for various reasons, and would like me to help them develop a migration strategy to get them to full 9.0 compatibility.
My question is: can I run the Upgrade Advisor on a SQL 2005 engine database running in 8.0 compatibility mode and get anything useful? I already know there will be some issues with existing DTS packages but it would be nice to catch any other issues in advance.
I know that the Upgrade Advisor was run before the upgrade took place but to my knowledge the report was not saved and none of the recommendations were followed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

I have created a dimension table for a star schema and included the following columns for treatment of historical changes:
[StartDate] datetime,
[EndDate] datetime,

[IsInferred] bit
My Business key is code and the historical attribute is code_desc.
I run the wizard and nominate the Current attribute to be set to True or False. What should the type of this column be as it is not being populated ?
TIA,

SQL 2000 -> SQL 2005 upgrade on windows server 2003 ... We've done numerous side by side types of upgrades which have the advantages of being able to migrate things at a slower pace with limited downtime. I have a situation where it seems like it would be the least amount of work to do an in place upgrade involving 22 transactional in-house developed databases and associated in-house developed applications. There's no replication, no DTS packages, nothing I can think of that would complicate the upgrade. I was wondering if there's people out there that have done lots of these and haven't had any problems OR if there have been lots of problems. Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.

Hi there
Apologies if I'm in the wrong post. I have a strange problem. I installed Sql Express Toolkit with the sole purpose to offer the import/export functionality in the Microsoft SQL Server90DTSBinn folder. After installation I did a quick test to make sure it works and it did. Suddenly now I get an error when I run the wizard file saying that it is not a valid win 32 application. I have a clean Windows XP S2 installation and definitly no virussus/worms etc. I have a simmilar problem when I try to run ASP.Net web starter kit files (.vss or something like that...)
PLEASE help me!

View 3 Replies View RelatedGreetings,I have been trying to use the DTS Import Wizard to import data, but SQL Server seems to have a bug that Microsoft has not yet addressed (or have they?)Basically, when I import data from a text file into one of my existing databases that contains a field with an identity, I run into problems. Basically, SQL gives an error and refuses to import my data if the column is set to having an identity. In the Column Mappings, I set that row to "ignore." I also tried checking Enable Identity Insert, and I tried unchecking it. Nothing works. I receive this error message: "...The statement has been terminated. Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'MovieID', table 'myproject.dbo.MovieStars'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails."I thought that checking "Enable Identity Insert" would automatically tell DTS to insert an incremental identity value.When I use this transformation code, it doesn't work either:Function Main() DTSDestination("MovieName") = DTSSource("Col001") DTSDestination("MovieStar") = DTSSource("Col002") Main = DTSTransformStat_OKEnd FunctionThis gives me a different but similar error: "Insert error, column 1, ('MovieID', DBTYPE_I4), status 10: Integrity violation; attempt insert NULL data or data which violates constraints. Unspecified error"I think this is a SQL Server bug. My google searches have revealed MANY people with this similar problem, but their problem almost never gets answered. If anyone could please offer assistance, that would be great, as my head is turning black and blue from banging it on my desk for the past 3 days.Thanks
