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.
I 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?
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.
I created log shipping btw two servers using maintenance plan.
maintainanace plan taking the log backups and copying those backups in the standby server but unable to restore thos log backups
i am getting the following error ( for the Log Restore job) Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.
In the logshipping monitor history i found the follwing error [Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 4305: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The log in this backup set begins at LSN 4830000001442600001, which is too late to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN 4828000001884200001 can be restored. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
I 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
Cmd:
RESTORE verifyonly FROM disk='G:xxxx_Copyxxx_20150604010501.trn'
Error:
Msg 3203, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Read on "G:xxxxxxx_20150604010501.trn" failed: 13(The data is invalid.) Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 VERIFY DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
and when i run restore filelistonly using netwok path then is seem s good and i can restore the logs as well
CMD:
RESTORE verifyonly from disk='1.2.3.4xxx_Backupsxxx_20150604010501.trn'
Output: The backup set on file 1 is valid.I can assure there is no corruption on the log back up, no lsn mismatch, no log files missing.Same version and edition on both servers. Both servers are SQL server 2012 Enterprise edition on window server 2012
Logshipping was working fine till last Friday...Looks like there was a cluster node failover during the weekend on the Secondary SQL cluster....From that time, restore log is not working, I am able to see all the log backup files are being copied to the secondary server...its no the transaction log backup share missing problem......I see this message:
The RESTORE statement could not access file 'J:MSSQLBackupDBName_200712081350.tuf'. Error was '2(The system cannot find the file specified.)'
I gooled and found that .tuf file has the LSN information as which log needs to be restored next....I looked at the sql error log and tried to restore the next log manually with "norecovery" option, but still get the same message....Is there any other option other than to remove and reconfigure logshipping ?
HI All, I need your help, i want to Unzip files that i downloaded from FTP. i want to unzip using T-sql or SSIS, especially using T-SQL, i am working on sql server 2005, my FTP dump is C:FTP, under this FTP folder i have different zip files, example: C:FTPFile1.zip C:FTPFile2.zip C:FTPFile3.zip etc, under this zip files there are about 13 text files, thus i need to unzip only C:FTPFile3.zip using T-SQL, how do i do it, please quick response, your response will make my weekend free of headache. Thank you in advance for your help and time. Thanks,
I have huge text files coming from the other end.But they are sending as .zip files and when unziped i find .dat. Is there a way to set up such that my package can unzip those files and change .dat files to .txt and then start working with with those files.
I am trying to unzip some files that I have ftp'ed into a local directory.
I use a foreach file container. Into this container I have placed an Execute Process Task. The EPT runs pkzipc with the following arguments set: -dir=current -extract.
The standard input variable is set to the output variable of the foreach loop.
When I run the package, a console window will open for what I assume is the PKZIP process, but there is nothing printed out in the console and the console won't close unless I force a timeout.
When I enable a timeout I get the following error:
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002914C at Execute Process Task, Execute Process Task: The process timed out.
Task failed: Execute Process Task
Warning: 0x80019002 at Foreach Loop Container 1: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
Warning: 0x80019002 at Package: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
1.In SSIS is there a way to unzip the text files I have set an automated process in sql server agent I receive ziped text files.I want to unzip the files before loading the data
2.Is there a way to notify when an error occurs in the package in sql server agent.
I want to unzip a file through "Execute Process Task".
For compressing(zip) a file i write the following.
In Process Tab: In Executable: C:Program FilesWinZipWINZIP32.EXE In Arguments: -min -a "C:file.zip" "C:file.mdb"
What arguments should i write to unzip a file? And in case i want to copy a file from one location to another through Execute Process Task what should i do?
Is there a way to unzip files in a SQL Server 2005 SSIS package. I now I can do it using winzip and executing the procedure, master..xp_cmdshell, but that is not what I am preferring at the moment. Anything direction in this regards will be much appreciated.
I have created a job that will execute a SSIS package which will unzip some zip files. For unzipping we are using WinZip. In the package I have used a .Net script task for unzipping. This script is using WZUNZIP. When I am executing the package directly it is unzipping all the zip files. But when I am executing the job that will execute the SSIS package for unzipping it is going on with the execution and not unzipping the zip files. So finally I stopped the job.
HI All, I have Uzip Files to be loaded From ftp.companyname.com, the zip files get updated everyday thus i have to load the newly added files, the Zip file has got 13 text Files within it, the issue is: 1. how do i load it for the new zip file only, the zip files are shown below, i am trying using FTP Task, but need more info. 2. How do i UnZip it and and take the text files and then load them to sql server 2005, each text file has to be loaded to sql server tables. 3. How do i automate it, i mean every time i run the package (on Job based) it has to look the new file only, see the zip file below to understand what i am saying about.
As you can see the Zip file names are the blues color, they are added at different time, thus what i need is only the current Zip file (i mean i have to Load only the newly added Zip file (recent one)). Thus the SSIS Task has to go to this FTP server and look the newly added zip file. After that i have Unzip it b/se i have 13 text files there, and then Load them to Sql Server 2005.
Please get help on this, the deadline is near by time, if possible try as soon as possible, I would like to say Thank you for every help you do and try. Thanks,
Hi, 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.
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.
i have configured logshipping how to change roles is the question. By using sp_changeprimary role the database has become suspected sp_change secondary role and sp_change monitor role is not working please guide on this issue

Hi 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 :confused: :confused:
Hey 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'
while i am trying to unzip files using execute process task ,getting below error
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:Program Files7-Zip7z.exe" "a -tzip D:excel.zip D:unzipfileexcel.xls" at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Warning: SSIS Warning Code DTS_W_MAXIMUMERRORCOUNTREACHED. The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
i want to know more about unzip and zip files and folders using execute process task.
zip folder: C:Program Files7-Zip7z.exe SQL version: SQL server 2008 R2
do not having win rar so please instruct using 7z.its quite interest to work but i don't know to get desired result.
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 ?
I have logshipping configured b/w Primary and DR site, Tlogs interval is every 15 minutes. Now I would like to setup another secondary for reporting purpose but I would like to restore Tlogs with a frequency of 20hrs(its long).
will this break backup chain that affects DR?what will be the size of Tlog that will be taken every 20 hours assume 10MB for 15 minutes . I assume it should have all the changes from last restore to reporting server is this correct. we are fine to kill the sessions while applying Tlog nightly .DB size is 1TB we use Redgate backup compressed size is 200GB and Tlogs are few MB's.
