Urgent: Can I Access Sqlce From Within Windows Service ?
Jan 11, 2008
Hi
I am developing a Windows Service product and use SQLCE 3.1 as data store, I found problem, that, when I inserted a record to sqlce data store from within service, I got an hidden window, the name is ms_sqlce_se_notify_wndproc, Could anyone has idea of how to disable this hidden window? Because my product is running as Windows Service, so this hidden window would be a serious security hole.
Hi! I understand that this topic is one of the most discussed topics ever. However i could not find the relevant information after going through (almost) all the posts so far. Hence this post. I am getting the 'SQL Server does not exist or access denied' error when I am trying to access SQL Server from a WINDOWS SERVICE. SQL Server and the Windows service are running on two different machines. (When they are on the same machine, it works). All the solutions I found so far are related to web apps. What should I do in the case of a windows service? My connection string uses SQL server authentication. (I tried with windows authentication. Its not working either.). Under what login does windows services run and how can I add it to valid SQL server logins?
I have an SDF using SQLCE 2.0. When I run the app on a Pocket PC device running Windows Mobile 5.0 I get 0x80004005 and 0x80040e21 errors. The same app executes fine on PPC 2003.
The app is written in VC++ using and uses the SQLCE OLEDB Provider to access the SDF. It is complied with eVC 4.0
I am attempting to write a Windows service that watches a database for uploaded files to import. When a new file is found, the corresponding SSIS package is run from the file system with variables passed through. I started development as a Windows app and copied the functionality to a service.
The app runs fine. The service does not. I get a "Failure" each time a package is executed. Everything is identical behind the scenes with the obvious exceptions that OnStart and OnStop handlers are buttons in the app. I added a script task at the beginning of one of the SSIS packages to notify me that it is even running at all. It doesn't even hit that initial task.
Again, the app will run all packages just fine. The data is imported and the results return as "Success."
The following is the code executing the package. Any help is appreciated. I've been banging my head on this one for a few days now. (Is there a tag to format a code sample?)
Dim pkgLocation As String Dim pkg As New Package Dim app As New Application Dim pkgResults As DTSExecResult
I am converting an old eVB application to CF.NET 2. It's a very simple setup. 1) An Access database sits on the host and has occasional edits applied to it. 2) An application on the PDA with a mirror copy of the Access database (filtered data) and also has occasional edits applied 3) When the user puts the PDA in the cradle the databases get automatically synchronized with each other.
Probably couldn't get much simpler than this. This used to be very easy to do with PocketAccess and ActiveSync. Unfortunately this is no longer supported. I decided to use the new SQLce database instead when porting to CF.NET. It's working like a charm except that I haven't found an easy way to synchronize with the desktop Access application.
Merge replication seems to be exactly what I need but it doesn't work with Access or SQL Server Express. I don't need (or want) a full version of SQL Server. The dataset is very small.
ADS seems to point in the right direction except it doesn't support automatic synchronization. It also doesn't support Vista in combination with PPC2003SE.
Sync Services seems to have the same problems as ADS.
I have seen some third party tools around but they all require the user to manually kick off synchronization which I'm desperatly trying to avoid.
I've been searching for days now and I'm not getting any closer to a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am looking at implementing some sort of throttling whereby "expensive" reports are setup as Subscriptions (and hence are run by the Windows Service), while all other requests go the Web Service.
My question is:
Do the two systems share any underlying systems? I understand (of course) that they use the same DB, etc. etc. However, I can't quite tell whether there is an underlying engine that is a common base or if they really just spin up different instances of the same objects and essentially each host the application separately?
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.
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]))
I am currently upgrading our ppc app (written in .net 2003) to .net 2005 and from sqlce 2.0 to 3.0. The new application runs out memory(storage) when handling lots of data transactions (both in case of using sqlcedatareader, and dataset ). There is no memory leak issue here, sqlce 3.0 simply uses a lot more (3 times more) memory than sqlce 2.0.
Our applicaton runs fine using sqlce 2.0 and .net 2003, but fail due to memory shortage
with the upgrades(which has the same code). Anyone can shed some lights on this issue?
please help me ,,,i need urgent help as soon as possible because im a student at UUM university in Malaysia and i have been assigned the responsibility to build a data warehouse in the Computer Center using BI of SQL server 2005 ,,so eventually i will build reports ,,,, they use windows server 2000 in the university,,,,can i disable windows authentication ,,,,i want to build authentication using ASP net 2.0
I want to monitor the transaction log files for growth to limits and be able to automatically shrink the log... I had to do it manually the last time I had to do it with my current setup.. Is there away without having to run a windows service for monitoring the file size or drive space left?
Example; current transaction log is ~8gigs at full limit... reduced was ~5gigs, this is just 1 transaction log for 1 database on server.
Greetings. I'm wondering if y'all typically turn off filesystem indexing (IE: uncheck "Allow indexing service to index this disk for fast file searching") on the drives that hold your ldf and mdf files? Do any mssql services depend on this functionality?
HI, Recently i had to maintain few SSIS packages. One of the packages keeps running indefinitely to monitor a folder for new files using FileSystemWatcher. Once new file is arrived, it simply renames file and calls another package for further processing. My first impression was that windows service might be a better choice for such functionality.
Any idea about these two approaches to implement this functionality i.e Continuously running a package using indefinite loop as compared to a windows service.
The problem is integrating an ADO connection into a Service in C#. The peculiar thing is that the same thing works well in an application but throws a problem in the Service i.e. the Service doesnt want to start...
The problem is at establishing the connection - but the same thing works just fine in an Windows application.
The Sql Mobile site on MSDN recommends that you do not host SQL Everywhere when running as a service. Is this a recommendation, if so why, or is it simply not possible. My understanding is that when hosteed in a IIS hosted application a not supported exception is throw.
If anyone has any ideas on this or pointers to some resources i would appreciate them.
I am trying to execute a stored procedure on Server1 which creates an excel report on a share of Server2:
The following error message is thrown: Saving of scheduled report(s) to Excel file failed : 203 SaveReportToExcel() in TlRptToFile.RptExcel failed in sproc_SaveReportAsFile - TLRptXL::SaveReportToExcel - Connection to Database failed for Analytics DataBase Server : TKTALSQL3, Application Server: and DataBase : tlAnalytics : Windows Error - The system could not find the environment option that was entered.
A DCOM component on Server1 runs the stored procedure that creates the excel report. The account under which DCOM component runs is a member of 'Administrators' group on both Server1 and Server2. Checked permissions on the shares. Account is a local Admin on both Server1 and Server2. Account under which SQLServer and ServerAgent runs is also an Admin on these shares (implicitly as part of 'Administrators' group).
I am manually able to create an excel/text file on the Server2 share while accessing it from Server1, though.
Hi everbody, In my Sql server7.0 production box three physical drives(c,f,g). All drives have mssql7 folder. I want install servicepack2, where i have to run service pack. I am new to sql server. Thanks Mark
I've done a bit of work with the External Activator but I think it may be a bit overkill for what I need to do (which is RECEIVE messages from a single queue and process them with managed code). I've tried creating a Service Broker Interface service that retrieves messages from this queue, but I notice that if I set the timeout to -1 to watch for messages indefinitely, the Service never completes the OnStart code.
I notice if I change the service's timeout to something greater than 0, the message is retrieved, but this defeats the purpose of using a Windows Service app, which I want to continuously monitor the queue. I noticed the External Activator spawns a thread to start monitoring an EventNotification queue, which I can bypass since I want to monitor the notification's target queue.
Rushi, can you point me in the right direction to create a Windows Service that constantly monitors a queue? Also, I'd like the ability to monitor multiple databases (the queue name would be the same) as well, so if that is not feasible from a Windows Service please let me know.
Also, am I sacrificing scalability by NOT using the External Activator and switching to a Windows Service (I believe the External Activator will spawn multiple instances of the processing executable)?
I'm building a Windows Service which keeps getting denied access to SQL Server 2k. The Service operates as a System User rather than an individual user profile.
I've tried Trusted_Connection=yes and Integrated Security=SSPI but these are both denied.
Any ideas what the connection string to connect to SQL Server 2k from a Wndows Service is?
i should write a service that will run every 1 hour.
this service should check a folder.
inside this folder there are some xml files, all of them in the same format exactly.
when the service encounters with this xml file, it should open it,pull some data out of it, and update a table in the db.
NOW - I HAVE 2 OPTIONS, AND THIS IS THE DILEMMA:
should i write a clr function to do this task, or should i just write a standard c# windows service, that will open a connection to the db when it should perform update?
I've got a report that shows the current status of sql activity on my servers for our ERP application. The one thing I've been wanting to do is to add the ability to check if a certain windows service on another server is running. Is this possible in Reporting Services 2005?
I'm currently writing a windows service which will generate XML documents for FTP upload. When running the service the goal is to get records from a stored procedure, then generate the XML documents.
When running the service (lokal service account) the connection fails; instead of using the supplied connection string, it defaults to the LocalService account. How can this be solved?
I'm developing a Windows Service to watch for an e-mail and then launch a package. It extracts some parameters from the e-mail that I then need to pass to the package. What is the best way to launch the package from the service? Should I run it in a new thread? I don't want the service to have to wait for the package to complete. How would I pass the parameters? Should I use dtexec? If the service fails or is stopped and the package is still running, it would terminate the package also, correct? Any way to avoid that? Thanks.
i am running an application build on c# and dot net frame work 2.0 running on windows server 2003 enterprise edition with service pack 2 on a Xeon Machine, when the application can to many data base request or face load...the date base service disappears...... can some buddy plz reply me how this problem can be resolve....
we are using SQLserver 7.0 in production box ,no service pack. We planning apply service pack2 . please tell me what steps we have to take before applying service pack2.
My production server has MS SQL Server 7.0 with service pack 2. I want to install the latest service pack but all my seniors who are working on Unix and sybase sql server doesn't want to install SP 4 they think with this service pack there has been no problems, we don't want to install new SP and create problems. CAn anyone guide me that what bugs are fixed and wht are good reasons for installing latest SP over the old one, and Is there any draw backs about new SP.
Hi I am in weired move kindly help me out..I created report using sql server 2005 Reporting services..At one stage it is working fine with proper parameter but due to bad input parameter my report goes in hang mode..so i went to my DB server and restart my reporting service and then MSSQLSERVER I dont remember sequence (may be vice versa) now I am not able to get report when i am passing right parameter..I went to google and only I came to know that due to sequence of restart of services will cause this error..
