How Do You Set Up And Use Endpoints? Examples Required
Jun 20, 2007
i have posted here a few times on my endpoint issues but i cant find a resolution so im approaching the issue from a different angle. can you guys tell me how you create and consume endpoints, preferably with the endpoint code, the url you use to see the wsdl, and any network/pc settings you may have altered to get endpoints to work. im looking for tips or steps that may not be included in basic endpoint tutorials. I really am stuck and have no idea what else to try. thanks all
CREATE ENDPOINT MyNewEndPoint STATE = STARTED AS HTTP ( PATH = '/MyEndpoint', AUTHENTICATION = (INTEGRATED), PORTS = (CLEAR), SITE = 'arkansas' ) FOR SOAP ( WEBMETHOD 'GetSession' (NAME='MyDB.dbo.spGetSession'), BATCHES = DISABLED, WSDL = DEFAULT, DATABASE = 'MyDB', NAMESPACE = 'http://MyDB/MyEndpoint' )
the site is hardcoded. But, when I'm getting ready to deploy I'll need the site to be my production site. Is there an easier way to accomplish this then to edit the script each time before delpoyment?
Are HTTP Endpoints able to be reached by another application that does not run on the same network?
For example, we have a partner that has a Web Application that would like to retrieve data from our database. We would like them to call a SOAP method through the Endpoint and in essence let their Web Application consume the Web Service. Is this possible?
I tried asking a similar question over at the asp.net, but I'm not getting any replies.
I created an endpoint in SS 2005 using DIGEST authentication, and I was successful in adding the web service to my project and getting results from a call to it.
However, the production environment does not exist in a domain environment, which eliminates even DIGEST (which requires a valid windows domain logon).
But, when I create the endpoint using BASIC authentication, I can no longer "find" the service. SS says the command(s) completed successfully after the Create Endpoint command. As a test, the documentation says that you can enter the http site into IE and the WSDL will display. And that works in digest mode. However, I've tried both: http://<server>/path?WSDL and https://<server>/path?WSDL And neither returns the WSDL in IE (nor can it be added to my project as a web service).
I'm hoping someone has some ideas on how I can resolve this problem.
I have mirroring set up in a test environment and it works great however I need to know/understand how the endpoints are encrypted. I have them set to use the AES algorithm; however I can not tell from BOL what keys they are using. I know the service master key is the root encryption key and endpoints sit at the server level (same level as service masterkey) but I am not sure if the endpoints use it to perform the encryption or not; do they and if not what do they use?
Hi, I am trying to use a SQL Endpoint in my SQL 2005 DB to retrieve information from my C#.Net program. It works fine for me when I run it, but I am set as an administrator in SQL Server. When I try to run it as a normal/test user, I get the error message: "There was an error in the incoming SOAP request packet: Client, Endpoint, UnmappedSoapMethod." Now, I have set up the endpoint in SQL and I can see the method I am trying to call when I do a select on the sys.endpoint_webmethods table. I have also allowed the domain group which the test user is a member of execute permission to the stored procedures and Access permissions to the endpoint. What have I missed in the set up for me to be receiving this error message? Cheers and thanks in advance. Sam.
Is it possible to return typed data in an Endpoint for an ASP.Net Web Reference to Proxy? If so, is there any specific terminology I should be aware of to target my search?
I realize there is a choice between Object (returns a dataset or error) or dataset, but the automatically generated WebReference Proxy in ASP.Net (2.0) is untyped and we can't change the typing there as you have to remove the entire WebReference to pick up new WebMethods (or changes to signitures I'd assume).
I'm able to create my own typed proxy as a psuedo-DAL assembly which takes the WebReference and cast rows/objects into typed rows/objects one at a time, but this seems like a lot of work and probobly not the best practice.
I am trying to expose a stored procedure on SQL Server 2005 as a web service. So I just have an end point created with the procedure as my web method. Now when I try to reference this web service in my C# windows application, I am only able to see the procedure definition by requesting for the WSDL http://servername/path?wsdl. But when I try to reference it, I get the error 501/505 - Not Implemented or not supported. Any ideas what the issue here could be? Would really appreciate the help here as I am kinda stuck! - Thanks, Manmeet
I'm looking into hosting SQL Server endpoints on Vista. Unfortunately they don't work nicely because, as far as I know, they require http.sys which is part of Windows Server 2003. Hence, I can create my endpoint but i can't browse to it over http.
So, siple question (not so simple answer) how can I access SQL Server endpoints on Vista?
I have application who like to use HTTP Endpoints in our cosolidate enviornment. How I can measure the performance on HTTP Endpoints? I would like to know how much CPU, Memory and IO used by HTTP Endpoints?
Has anyone worked out how to trace SOAP/HTTP Endpoints in SQL 2005 SP 2?
I'm not having a particular problem, just want to know how things work, such as which layer is responsible for the HTTP Authentication. I've traced the HTTP.sys stack using logman.exe (see http://www.thelastpickle.com/2008/03/22/tracing-sql-soap-endpoints-through-httpsys/) .
I cannot see any SQL Profiler events, and I've tried setting trace 7801 and 7803 as described in http://www.sqljunkies.com/Article/5CCAC423-1407-4A36-AF71-ED6A67D9646A.scuk#_Toc52964195 but they do not result in any logging.
We have been having a problem with service broker for quite a while now and searching on these forums and more generally on the web has not yielded any kind of answer...
Our application utilises service broker within a single database (there is no cross database, cross instance or cross server communication). There are approximately 12 queues which are used to varying degrees. A few of the queues have a throughput rate in the order of up to 100s per minute at peak periods.
In some scenarios we are able to make use of persistent conversations but the majority of messages are sent on their own conversation or in small batches on their own conversation.
Some time ago we found that the database was growing in size more than expected due to a build up of data in the service broker meta data internal tables, exposed via the sys.conversation_endpoints system view.
We identified a problem in the application that was preventing some conversations from being closed and have now fixed this.
However, we are still experiencing a build up in the service broker tables and sys.conversation_endpoints shows this is now due to a very large number of conversations in the "CLOSED" state.
I know that conversations are kept around to prevent replay attacks but thought they were supposed to be cleared after about 30 minutes. This is certainly not happening as we currently have conversations that were opened on the 18th September, a full week ago. We currently have about 350,000 closed conversations and this figure is increasing!
We have tried restarting the SQL Server instance with no effect.
I have been using a script to loop through all closed conversations and get rid of them using the "WITH CLEANUP" clause but I'm loath to create a scheduled task that does this in the background when service broker should be doing the job itself.
Has anybody experience this problem and, even better, have any idea how to solve it?
I implemented the pattern suggested in the 'Recycling Conversations' article that Remus Resanu presented. Everything works great except ended conversations on the receiver remain in the sys.conversation_endpoints table forever in the 'CLOSED' state.
Is there some setting I am missing to have those conversations purged from the endpoints table. I am concerned that in the production environment this table will grow very large.
I have a SQL Server 2005 HTTP endpoint. I create a transaction scope in a client application and call two methods on that endpoint. Will the operations performed in the two methods, really, be in a transaction?
In other words, will SQL Server enlist in the ambient transaction even when I am accessing it through a HTTP endpoint?
I developed one DLL in vb .Net which call two web services (sql endpoints) I wish to use this solution but for hundreds of servers (endpoints) I want to ask if I could do that with dynamic parameters passed to de DLL CALL in sql server clr.
Actually when I compile de DLL I need to have referenced (hardcoded) the webservices (endpoints) and when I need a brand new endpoint I need to reference it, compile the dll and release.
I cannot find how to invoke the service within the DLL with the namespace or webservice name as parameter.
Mi code to invoke now my referenced end point is: (note that my endpoint name is rperez)
Dim CallWebService As New rperez.IntelisisServiceEndPoint
Are there any examples of using DTS and XML/XLS? specifically, importing data. I have searched through BOL and cant find any, nor is there any reference to XML in the book "Professional SQL 2000 DTS"
I see a lot of example, but where do these example procedures go. Likedeclare (whatever)?below is an example i read. Where do you put this to make it execute, is itthe view screen or the stored procedure screen?I'm using MSDE now to learn, and I can't get nothing working except simpleselect query statements.In the northwind example (northwindcs), how would I do a parameter querylike this:Have a dialog box ask user to enter customerid to bring up. (in a query nownot a form)Also, how would you check if a certain customerid exist? Example, CHOPS isone customerid. If I wanted to use a query to check if it exist, and returnno records, but just do an action (like add a record) if it didn't exist,how?[color=blue]> CPU SQL> (ms)> -- Convert to varchar (implicitly) and compare right two digits> -- (original version -- no I didn't write it)> 4546 select sum(case right(srp,2)> when '99' then 1 when '49' then 1 else 0 end)> from sf>> -- Use LIKE for a single comparison instead of two, much faster> -- Note that the big speedup indicates that> -- CASE expr WHEN y then a WHEN z then b .> -- recalculates expr for each WHEN clause> 2023 select sum(case when srp like '%[49]9' then 1 else 0 end)> from sf[/color]I tried some variations of this, and indeed it seems that there is a costwhen the expression appears with several WITH clauses. I tried a variationof this, where I supplemented the test table with a char(2) column, so Icould factor out that the WITH clauses themselves were not the culprits.CREATE TABLE realthing (realta real NOT NULL,lasttwo char(2) NOT NULL)goINSERT realthing (realta, lasttwo)SELECT r, right(r, 2)FROM (SELECT r = convert(real, checksum(newid()))FROM Northwind..Orders aCROSS JOIN Northwind..Orders b) AS fgoDBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERSgoDECLARE @start datetimeSELECT @start = getdate()SELECT SUM(CASE right(realta, 2)WHEN '99' THEN 1WHEN '49' THEN 1WHEN '39' THEN 1ELSE 0 END)FROM realthingSELECT datediff(ms, @start, getdate()) -- 20766 ms.goDBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERSgoDECLARE @start datetimeSELECT @start = getdate()SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN right(realta, 2) LIKE '[349]9' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)FROM realthingSELECT datediff(ms, @start, getdate()) -- 8406 ms.goDBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERSgoDECLARE @start datetimeSELECT @start = getdate()SELECT SUM(CASE lasttwoWHEN '99' THEN 1WHEN '49' THEN 1WHEN '39' THEN 1ELSE 0 END)FROM realthingSELECT datediff(ms, @start, getdate()) -- 920 ms.goDBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERSgoDECLARE @start datetimeSELECT @start = getdate()SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN lasttwo LIKE '[349]9' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)FROM realthingSELECT datediff(ms, @start, getdate()) -- 1466 ms.Thus, when using the char(2) column LIKE is slower despite that thereis only one WHEN condition. So indeed it seems that right(realta, 2)is computed thrice in the first test.Another funny thing is the actual results from the queries - they aredifferent. When I ran:select count(*) from realthing where lasttwo <> right(realta, 2)The result was about half of the size of realthing! I can't see thatthis difference affects the results though.Now, your article had a lot more tests, but I have to confess thatyou lost me quite early, because you never discussed what is theactual problem. Since you are working with floating-poiont numbersthere is a great risk that different methods not only has differentexecution times, but also gives different results.--Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, Join Bytes!Books Online for SQL Server SP3 athttp://www.microsoft.com/sql/techin.../2000/books.asp
I am planning to delete a login from SQL logins because he moved out from project .when i try to delete the login , it throws an error saying " The server principal owns an endpoint and cannot be dropped , error 15141 "
Same problem facing on different servers.

What is the purpose of the "N" preceding the parameter values in theSQL examples?Here is an example copied from Books Online, SP_ATTACH_DB:EXEC sp_attach_db @dbname = N'pubs',@filename1 = N'c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQLServerMSSQLDatapubs.mdf',@filename2 = N'c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQLServerMSSQLDatapubs_log.ldf'I've found that my sp_attach_db routine works without the "N", but Ineed to know what it is that I don't know.Thank you everybody for all your help.
Where can i find examples of T-SQL executed by one instance of SQL Server 2000 to communicate to a 2005 SQL Broker instance (both located on the same server)?

I was just wondering if there are any examples on how to work with the Script Editor, and more specifically how to use the DirectRow method? I've seen some examples that say that the editor automatically creates the methods DirectRowTo<output buffer>, but it doesn't say how that is done. If I just specify Row.DirectRow(output buffer #), it says that the method is protected.
Any help or just pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
I have been creating SSIS packages programmatically and have run into somewhat of a dead end. I have found the examples provided with the SQL 2005 install very helpful, but they only cover setting up three tasks: Sort task, OleDB Source and a Flat File Destination.
Does anyone have any examples or knows of examples of using the Merge Join task and the Conditional Split task?
I'm doing it all programmatically and so far I'm having trouble finding much in the way of documentation or examples.
I'm new to SQL Server Technology and am trying to learn how to create a Mobile Device application and to sync it with a desktop application that uses Access. I have found a lot of information but some of it doesn't seem to make sense.
I found this blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlservereverywhere/archive/2006/08/29/729730.aspx which is the announcement of Access Database Synchronizer (ADS) CTP. I downloaded it and installed it with all the prerequisites. This is the part i can't understand:
"The CTP setup installs the desktop component required for synchronizing Microsoft Access database with SQL Server Everywhere Edition database on the device."
I cannot seem to find the desktop component to try out! The Readme shows you how to pull and push data but i can't see where the desktop data sync wizard is located. Should there be something installed on my desktop that i can see?
Also, there doesn't seem to be much help or examples around on this component as yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction for examples, help, or tutorials on this.
This paragraph also confuses me:
"Note: As of today only SQL Server Mobile Edition is available for devices. SQL Server Everywhere Edition whould be available for devices at time of SQL Server Everywhere Edition RTW whihc is planned for November 2006".
Does this mean SQL Everywhere won't work on mobile devices until November?
Sorry for all the questions but i'm still trying to learn this stuff so i can write my application for Windows CE. Thanks in advance.
books online mentions examples stored on the pc when sql is installed, but the examples are not on my machine. i know they are on the disk somewhere, but i dont have the disk. i have tried going to add remove programs and adding extra sql components but i cant find the examples there either. can anyone tell me where to find them?
