Hello!
I created database snapshot in SQL Server 2005 and was restoring database from snapshot. I was wondering if there is a system table that stored history of snapshot restores similar to msdb.dbo.restorehistory.
Thanks,
Igor
Hi Everyone
Im a newbie on this but I have created a couple of reports and am running sql server 2005 and have downloaded all the updates. The problem i have is that when i view the report i have no History Tab and it is not listed in properties and cannot create snapshots even in sql man. studio. I have set the snapsots to unlimited in site settings. what am i doing wrong that is so obvious.
cheers

Hi,
Wanted to clarify some doubts about Report History and Snapshot.
1. What is the difference between the snapshot id and history id. Report Snapshots are stored in the report history.
When I call CreateReportHistorySnapshot method programmatically, the method returns a history Id. Is this id different from the snapshot id (report snapshot which is stored in the history). If the id's are different how can I get the snapshot id ?
2. The History id is a date-time stamp of the snapshot. This string is used as a unique identifier for the historical snapshot. It contains the time portion till seconds(not milliseconds). Hence if I generate the next snapshot in the same second it gets overridden.
Is there any way to create more snapshots in the same second ?
Is there any way to change the algorithm used to generate history ids ? eg : Can I use some unique id generator and get history id using this algorithm ?
Thanks in advance,
Hi,
I am trying to provide history reporting from my site by pointing the report to snapshots of the database.
While considering this solution, I am reading that the snapshots cannot be restored. So, If I need to move the database to new hardware or run into a situation where I have to restore form a tape backup, are all my snapshots gone?
Please advise.
Chandra.
Hello all.
Is there a way to export all existing snapshot history for various reports into PDF or Excel files rather than doing it individually in Report Manager?
Thanks!
Hi,
To programmatically invoke a subscription we can use -
exec ReportServer..AddEvent 'TimedSubscription', '575F96C6-A1BD-49FD-9C2F-934FC9658780'
How can we programmatically cause a Manual Report History Snapshot to be created.
I know it can be done using the Webservice. How would we do it using the ReportServer stored procedures. Which SP/SP's can we call. With what parameters.
TIA,
Sam.
When I go to the database restore tab the "backup history" window shows the database backups and log backups from all the way back when the database was initially created. How do I purge the old database and log backup entries?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhenever I perform a backup or restore I receive the following message:
"A history record could not be written to msdb.sysbackuphistory..."
What can I do to resolve this error?
I have a backup mainentance plan that does a full backup daily at 03:00am and then 2 minute transaction log backups throughout the day to a raided hard drive (It is set to overwrite after 2 weeks), When i go into enterprise manager and select the database to restore it just seems to take too long to read the backup history in. Can this time be reduced as i need to be able to restore the database A.S.A.P but still need a point in time restore to within 2 minutes of going down??
Thanks
Dear All,
replication is not working for me now, how can i find the old snapshots and resore them to the present snapshot?

Even you learn 1%, Learn it with 100% confidence.
What is the best way to restore a database from a folder of backups (including full, diff and log backups) without using the backup history in msdb?
I have a restore process that restores all backups on a regular schedule in order to fully verify their integrity. To do this, I use the backup history in msdb on each server that I'm monitoring. I had a thought the other day that I would be in trouble if I lost msdb. Then my backup history would only be as good as the last backup of msdb.
What I'd like to do is read a folder of backup files and generate a restore script up to a specified time. Would I use RESTORE HEADERONLY to do this? If so, would I use PowerShell to traverse each file in the folder?
Given the follwoing scenario: You create a snapshot of a database with full recovery model, change it's recovery model to simple, then perform several updates/modifications on the database, before you finally (due to an error) restore the database from the snapshot.
Will the log chain be broken or not? The resteore sets the recovery model back to full, but I'm still a bit "curious" about the transaction logs.
Hi,
While backing up our database, I am getting the following message:
Could not insert a backup or restore history/detail record in msdb.dbo.sysbackuphistory or sysrestorehistory. This may indicate a problem with the MSDB database. DUMP/LOAD was still successful. (Message 3009)
Does anybody have any resolution for the same ?
Thanks,

Hi
I seem to have a strange problem when applying a snapshot when the tables in the publication have been updated while the snapshot was being generated.
Say for example there is a table called RMAReplacedItem in the publication. When the snapshot starts being applied to the subscriber, a stored procedure called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedItem_msrepl_css gets created that handles an insert if the row already exists (ie it updates the row rather than inserting it). However, after all the data has been loaded into the tables, instead of calling this procedure, it tries to call one called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedIte_msrepl_cssm - it takes the last letter of the table name and adds it to the end of the procedure name.
The worst part is that this causes the application of the snapshot to fail, but it doesnt report what the error is, and instead it just tries applying the snapshot again. The only way i have managed to find which call is failing is to run profiler against the subscriber while the snapshot is being applied and see what errors.
I have run sp_broswereplcmds and the data in there is what is applied to the subscriber - ie the wrong procedure name.
All the servers involved are running sql 2005 service pack 2. The publisher and subscriber were both upgraded from sql 2000, but the distribution server is a fresh install of sql 2005.
While migrating Report services in SQL Server 2005 to 2014, I am trying to restore the Encryption Key in RS Configuration Manager in2014. But I cannot click the 'Restore' button in RS Configuration Manager. So if I should be grant more right to do so or any other action?

I am looking for a SQL Backup/Restore tools which can restore multiple environments. Here is high level requirements.
1. We have 4 DBs, range from 1 TB - 1.5 TB Each Database. When we restore to QA, DEV, or Staging, we usually restore 4 of them.
2. I am looking for the speed to complete restoring between 1 - 2 hours for 4 DBs.
I am evaluating the Dephix Software but the setup is very complex and its given us a lot of issues with Windows Authentions, and failure in the middle of the backup. I used Guess Software many years ago but can't find it on the web site any more. Speed is very important for us mean complete restoring as fast as possible. We are on SQL 2012 and SQL 2008 R2.We are currently using NETAPP Technology and I have Redgate Backup Tool but I am mainly looking for fast Restore Process.
The 'view job history' on Enterprise Manager is showing me only 4 or 5 run histories. I want to see more history on each of the jobs.Even I changed the limit to 10000 lones from 1000 lines on the server properties in the job system option, I am still seeing only the last 4 or 5 histories for each job(there are a total of 70 jobs on the server).Any ideas??Thanks.

Anyone tell me why some of my SQL-agent jobs have no history?
Some jobs are reporting history fine, others say "No history"
I have set up a job as sa.After that I changed the sa password.Now I am not able to view the job history since then.Do i need to delete the job and reschedule it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question about the sql job history. I have a sql 2000 server that was recording all the job history on my sql jobs just fine until the other day. Today I checked the history and the jobs didnt show the past history anymore. Just today's history. So if the job didnt run today there is no history for that particular job. This isn't true, the job was run a few days ago. I know that no one went in and cleard the history on the jobs. What causes this issue, is there a way to not make this happen in the future? Is there a way I can recover the past history for my jobs.
Thanks for your time!! TIA
i have my job running every 5 min. I want to view the history log. In job history it shows only few hundreds of records.. But i want to see from beginning. where to view whole log of job history?

Would some one please help me with the syntex on how to run "restore filelistonly" or restore verifyonly" on a SQL backup which has multiple filesets?? My backups locations are as follow:
RESTORE VERIFYONLY
From disk = 'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_01.bak',
'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_02.bak',
€˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_03.bak€™,
€˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_04.bak€™, €˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_05.bak€™
I tried to do a restore with the above, I got error The label 'E' has already been declared. Label names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.
Please advise!!
I have seen this before. A 2000 restore fails, leaving the database thinking it is being restored but the restore job failed and errors when it is restarted. EM is clueless. I believe there is a proc to reset some flag. Can you share it with me???
Thanks!
hello,
I'm am looking for a smart solution for keeping history of changes in records in my sql database. Not only history of a record but also which user caused the change and when (I have the username in session).
for now I added 4 fields to each table: "created by","created on","cancelled by",cancelled on", when the user create a record the 2 first fields are filled and and a user delete a record the two last fields are filled and the record is not really deleted but it won't be shown again (I'm using "where createdby is null").
this solution is taking the performance down and it does not solve the editing record tracking. creating new records and cancelling old ones for editing/changing solve that but than I m having problems with the primary key and relations to other tables.
I tried also to use a table that holds records that descirbes every change in records in my tables. it's very hard to search old data that way.
I know that oracle databases has a smart solution for history... please someone advise me..

How do I keep th job history of a job, say if I re-create the job?
We recreate the jobs often as part of a code move, but I'd like to retain the history of the previous jobs?
** sp_help_jobhistory -- only shows the jobs that exist, and not old jobs that no longer reside on the server.
Thanks,

Hi,
I want to know where the history of stored procedures stored, I mean yesterday I created one procedure and today I dropped that procedure and recreate it, I checked in sysobjects table name,crdate it shows only the creation date of the procedure. Where can I find the Modification date or something related to procedure history.

Hi
I'm using merge replication between 10 SQL server 7.0 SP2 machines. One central server is the publisher and 9 subscribers. I’ve setup an alert to get a message in case of conflicts. I defined it to trigger everytime the performance counter conflicts/sec rises above 0.
After some experimenting this seems now to work reliable, but there is still one point which bothers me. All conflicts are kept in the conflict history and everytime I get a message through the alert the number of copnflicts stated in the message increases by one.
Also if I open view replication conflicts in EM all conflicts can still be viewed even those I manually resolved. I can't even find a way to seen which conflicts are new ones and which have been resolved already. Does anybody know a way how to reset this numbers without going through all the conflict tables.

In SQL 6.5, when a scheduled job failed, you could see the error message in the history. In SQL 7.0, it simply tells you which was the last step to run. Is there a place which will report the actual error message generated by the task?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have set up a job as sa.After few days I changed the sa password.Now I am not able to view the latest job history since then.It says the last run as 'succeeded',but it is not showing the latest history since the time I changed the password.It still shows the previous history only.Do I need to delete the job and reschedule it?
Thanks!
I feel stupid asking this because I have worked with SQL Server 6.0/6.5 for serveral years now, but I can't seem to find the task history in 7.0. When I look at a task, I can tell if each step ran or not, but I am used to seeing error messages upon failure by right-clicking on the task and choosing history.
How do I find this in 7.0? In casual looking for a few days, I've come up empty.
Thanks.
I heard there is a way to publish the results of SQL 7 jobs to HTML files.
has anyone tried this
