Using Performance Monitor To Dump Transaction Log
Jan 12, 1999Hi, I am trying to set up an auto dump for Transaction log using performance monitor ( Log space used(%) )... Although I followed the steps, it did not work... can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong ?
1. create an error # using Server/message/New etc...
2. Defined sql exec alert : right click sql exective/manage alerts/operators..
3. Defined performance monitor using add to alert and set Alert if radio botton to over %80.and Run_Program on Alert: c:mssqlinnE 5555 /T /S servername
then I inset 2000 rows is a table I still get :
Msg 1105, Level 17, State 1
Can't allocate space for object 'publishers' in database 'test' because the 'default' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment.
I thought what I did is the right thing to do, but it seems that I am doing something wrong, Please help.
Thanks

Setup And Upgrade :: Activity Monitor Shuts Down If Connect To Instance Its Monitoring With Performance Monitor
Aug 19, 2015If I'm on a remote machine, meaning a computer not in the WSFC cluster, and I open SSMS 2014, point it to a SQL Instance, and open activity monitor:
1. I get all the panes and charts except % Processor Time.
2. Then, if I authenticate to the cluster's domain by mapping a drive with valid domain credentials, I'm free to put performance counters in the Perfmon - - - but SQL Activity Monitor shuts down with“The Activity Monitor is unable to execute queries against server SQL-V01INSTANCE1..Activity monitor for this instance will be placed into a paused state.Use the context menu in the overview pane to resume the activity monitor.
Additional information: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))(Mscorlib)”
3. Of course, the Activity monitor can't be resumed via the context menu. Removing counters and closing the perfmon do not work. I dropped the mapped drive and rebooted the machine. That brought back 95% of the information in the Activity monitor.
4. Further experimentation showed that any mapping of drive shares present on the SQL Server to the computer running SSMS cut off functionality of the 'overview' pane in the remote machine's SQL Activity monitor -- the monitor that had been trying to watch the server offering the shares.

Automating Transaction Log Dumps
May 5, 1999I am testing a procedure to automate the transaction log dump. I am following the steps located in Chapter 22 of the Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Companion ("Automatic Transaction Log Dumps Using Performance Monitor"). The alert in Performance Monitor appears to be starting when the log is 75% full, but the alert is not firing off the file that contains the dump transaction sql command. For the 'Run Program on Alert' box this is what I have: isql -Ssvrname -Usa -P -id:appsmssqlinndump.sql
The dump.sql file contains: 'dump transaction pubs with no_log'
I have also tried the following 4 steps: 1) Created a SQL Alert Messsage, 2) Created an NT Performance Monitor Threshold Alert to run sqlalrtr to issue a certain error when the pubs log is 75% full, 3) Created a TSQL Task, and 4) Created a SQL Server Alert to run the Task created in step 3. This appears to do the same thing. The Alert is fired off, but the Task is never executed. Note: I am able to execute the task from within the Schedule Tasks Window.
I am using Standard Security with SQL Server 6.5 (sp5a) running on NT4.
Thanks for you help in advance.
Dump Transaction Log
Feb 22, 1999Hi,
I need to dump transaction log every night. Before I do that I'd like to check those open transactions and kill the ones not part of sa or SQL server dba's activity. How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Dump Transaction Log Difficult??
Jan 4, 2000Hello:
I am working with an application in mssql 65.5, with sp4.
I have the database option 'truncatelog on checkpoint' set, there are no transaction log dumps taken at this time.
We plan now that y2k is over to upgrade to sp 5a. I am not not sure the new configuration
parameter 'logLRU buffers'(I don't have the sp5a readme text with me now) in our situation.
Here is our situtation with the transaction logs: The log, mostly with month-end high actvity,
fills up when long-running, high activity transactions are run.
The log gets to 100% sometimes rather quickly and sometimes near that or above 80%easily.
We check with dbcc open tran and there are no current transaction running. We expand the log just a little.
But it still shows 100@ used when we run dbcc sqlperf (logspace).
Here's the rub: when we try to dump the log, with wither or both back-to-back: dump tran abcdb
with truncate_only and then dump tran with no_log still nothing happens.
Sometimes we stop and start the mssql server and that helps but not always and sometimes when
we are really desperate we stop/start the NT server box(at off hours). Sometimes, the transaction log
reduces to nearly 0% used when we run dbcc sqlperf (logspace) and sometimes not. So we run dump tran
a couple of more times. We wait for several minutes usually to if the dump tan started and if it shows up
under EM under curent activity
This is becoming very frustrating and dangerous as well.
1) has any one had similar experiences with mssql 6.5 sp4?
2) Can anyone advise what we can do to more easily to dump the transaction log? Are we doing
any thing really wrong?
3) Would upgrading to sp 5a really help or should we just start planning upgrading to mssql 7.0?
Any suggestiosn you can furnish will be helpful. Thanks.

Dump Transaction Didn't
Jan 14, 1999I have a transaction log that is 80% full and will not dump. I have used the "dump transaction dbname with no_log" command. It return the usual "This command did not return data, and it did not return any rows". However, this didn't do anything. The transaction log is still full. I don't want to restart the server if I don't have to. Any ideas?

Transaction Log Dump After Differential Backup
Jan 23, 2008I am doing a differential backup every night with t-log backups every 15 mins. The differential backup occurs at 3:00a and is about 300 MB. The very next t-log backup at 3:15a is also about 300 MB instead of the usual 1 - 2 MB. Why is this and how can I avoid it? Is this just how SQL Server works? Do I have to do a full backup every night instead? Thanks in advance for your help.

LOG DEVICE FULL EVEN AFTER ISSUING DUMP TRANSACTION
Mar 3, 1999I issued the following statement on my database as my log file showed 100% full.
However after running this command and also running it again after expanding the size
to almost double the value of both my database log and data devices it still shows the log as being 100% full.
DUMP TRANSACTION <database> WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY (and also used the NO_LOG option).
So can anyone tell me whats going wrong here? I should note that I am still able to enter data into the database without
any errors.

NT Performance Monitor
Oct 14, 1998Until this week, I had full functionality of SQL Monitor`s capabilities to monitor SQL Server. Now, when I select our Production Server and attempt to `Add to Chart` I am unable to view/select any SQL Server... entries in the `Object` dropdown list box. When I click the down arrow with the Development server selected I DO see all of the SQL Server selections. This inability to `see` the SQL Server functions in the Performance Monitor for the Production server exists regardless of whether I attempt to view them from a Win NT 4.0 Workstation or at the Server`s console. Again, I had full functionality from both locations last week. The logins have not changed. What has changed?
ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated. I need to monitor this system and I`m running blind at the monent.

Logical IO And Performance Monitor
Mar 29, 2000Hi All,
I've been asked to trouble shoot an installation where many stored procedures are performing poorly. Upon examination I've found that the queries in these procs consume a large volume of logical IO (table scans etc). I'm trying to show that this could cause poor performance of the stored procedures as well as degredation of the server as a whole - but I cant find any suitable counters in Perfmon.
Anyone help?

SQL Performance Monitor Problem
Oct 7, 1999Hi!
When I run the PerformanceMonitor for SQL7 on my computer the Object-combobox shows the SQL-parameters.
But when I run the PerfMon on another computer (with SQL7) these parameters won't show.
Is this a registry-problem or??? What can I do to make these parameters visible???

Performance Monitor Objects Not Available
Jul 22, 1999anyone else having issues with the SQL Server 7.0 specific objects in performance monitor not being available from remote locations. I am monitoring our production SQL Server 7.0 machine from my local, development SQL Server 7.0 box. If I try to access the SQL Server objects for the development server (local) I have no problem. If I try to access the production machine's (remote) objects, they are not available in the object drop down. I'm also able to access the development objects from my workstation (third machine) but not production.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated...I would really love to be able to see how well (or not so well) the databases are performing in real time.
Thanks,
David.

I'm trying to set up Performance Monitor to watch my SQL Servers. There should be an SQL object in the drop down list in the 'Add To Chart' dialogue box in PerfMon. But not for me! What am i missing here?

Can anyone help?

Under the SQL program tab, when performance monitor is clicked, it comes up and has items for SQL, but they all track as zero. You can "add" other items such as processor items and they track fine. Any ideas???

Missing Performance Monitor Counters
Jul 9, 1999The SQL server perfmon counters are missing from one of my MSSQL 7.0 servers - they do appear in others just fine.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong and/or how I can add the counters? I have seen archieve notes on this topic but can't access them for some reason (page appears blank when I click on link)
I am using perfmon to remotely monitor the problem server. My login has sysadmin permissions and is an NT admin. on both the server and the monitoring client. The login account for MSSQL server and SQL Agent services are both sysadmins.

I started out with trying to get to know the existing SQL Servers (6.5 and 7.0). I am missing some Performance Monitor objects (ie SQL Server: Buffer Manager, SQL Server: General Statistics, etc). I am surprised that it is missing.
A typical SQL Server setup:
* NT 4 with SP6
* SQL Server 7 (standard) with SP2
* 2gig Mem
* Over 50gig HD
Does any of you ever have this problem? Any solutions? Any answer would be greatly appreciated.
