hi,
The log shipping between my 2 serves have failed. Can somebody please tell me the steps to follow in order to restore the log shipping between the two servers. I applied full backup. But restoring of transaction logs is failing, I am not able to figure out the cause for the failure
hello everybody
I have custom log shipping .
it run every 15 min
DB1 located on Server1
DB1 backup logs to server 2
DB2 located on server 3(300 km away from server1 and server 2)
Db2 restore logs from server 2
If server1 and server2 become unavailable
1.
Would enough login to server3
and
run
RESTORE DATABASE Db2
WITH RECOVERY
to bring db from read only to production mode up last restored log?
Thank you
Alex
I am getting following error in windows event viewer so can u tell me how to slove this problem
1.The log shipping primary database Aric-PCSQL2005.AdventureWorks has backup threshold of 30 minutes and has not performed a backup log operation for 319 minutes. Check agent log and logshipping monitor information.
2.The log shipping secondary database Aric-PCDEVSQL1.AdventureWorks has restore threshold of 5 minutes and is out of sync. No restore was performed for 304 minutes. Restored latency is 15 minutes. Check agent log and logshipping monitor information.
I am using sql 2000 standard. I set up log shipping 3 month ago it was working fine but yesterday its fail I got this error 4305. I don€™t know why this error I am getting
error messages:
failure /4305

Error 4305: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The log in this backup set

log backup that includes LSN 6000000015100001 can be restored.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
I am trying to imitate a DR situation where the primary db is down and I need to recover the secondary db on another server. They are a log shipping pair and so to imitate a DR, I remove the log shipping in the primary server maintenance plan. Then I go to the secondary server and disable the log shipping jobs there and attempt to do the following
RESTORE DATABASE database_name WITH RECOVERY
but I can't get exclusive use because the database is in use. But I don't see any other users... am I wrong in thinking that the log shipping was completely deleted? Anything I can do to force exclusive access?
We're planning to implement log shipping on our databases, and I have been toiling with it all weekend trying to get it to work on some test databases. The result is the same whether I do it via the wizard or manually via T-SQL.
I am using 3 servers, all SQL Server 2005 Standard SP1. All 3 SQL Servers are configured identically.
When I setup log shipping, it initializes with no problems. When it processes the first tran log file, it restores it with no problem. Every successive log file thereafter is not restored. No errors are generated. The only outright indication of a problem is that the monitor server shows that there has not been a recent restore.
The backup and copy both suceed. The restore claims to suceed. If I review the job history for each step, it says that it skipped the log file and then reports that it did not fina any log files to restore.

Any ideas or suggestions?
Hi,
I have a weekly job that runs to execute msdb.dbo.sp_delete_backup_history on history older than 7 days on a server that is a log-shipping destination server. However, I have now noticed after putting a new deadlock alert, that this job causes RESTORE LOG jobs for all 6 of my log-shipped databases, which run every minute, to deadlock.
I am not concerned with the fact that the RESTORE LOG jobs are then chosen as the deadlock victims, as they will simply re-run in the next minute anyways.
What I would like to do though is to somehow lock all the tables being cleared by sp_delete_backup_history, so that the restore jobs are forced to wait or fail without causing a deadlock to appear. I was wondering if I could do this via setting the job which runs sp_delete_backup_history to use serializable isolation level, or would that cause other problems/issues? If not that, would setting the deadlock priority level to high prevent deadlocks, or just simply force the restore log jobs to be chosen as the victim?
The main thing is that I would like to stop being "annoyed" by the deadlock messages being generated.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Regards,
Diane.
Hi
I could not able to find Forums in regards to 'Log Shipping' thats why posting this question in here. Appriciate if someone can provide me answers depends on their experience.
Can we switch database recovery model when log shipping is turned on ?
We want to switch from Full Recovery to Bulk Logged Recovery to make sure Bulk Insert operations during the after hours load process will have some performance gain.
Is there any possibility of loosing data ?
Thanks
Hi,
I 'm sure I am missing something obvious, hopefully someone could point it out. After a failover log shipping, I want to fail back to my inital Primary server database; however, my database is marked as loading. How can I mark it as normal?
I did the failover as follow:
I did a failover log shipping from the 2 server Sv1 (Primary) and Sv2 (Secondary) by doing the following
1) Stop the primary database by using sp_change_primary_role (Sv1)
2) Change the 2nd server to primary server by running sp_change_secondary_role (Sv2)
3) Change the monitor role by running sp-change_monitor_role (Sv2)
4) Resolve the log ins - (Sv2)
5) Now I want to fail back - I copy the TRN files to Sv1 - use SQL Ent to restore the database at point in time. The task is done; however, the database is still mark as loading. I could not use sp_dboption.
I appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks in advance

I am looking for a SQL Backup/Restore tools which can restore multiple environments. Here is high level requirements.

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.

Hello,
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!
Could somebody please guide me on how best to Implement SQL Server Log Shipping. I have gone through BOL without luck. Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to create a RO copy of a production DB owned by an outside company. We are connectd via a WAN link, but cannot use replication. They are proposing using an initial load via tape, and sending us a text file nightly with the days changes to the DB. We will then need to load that data using BCP, DTS or some other method. Does any one have any ideas on using log shipping instead of the text file. It would only be practical to get a fresh load of the entire DB once a quarter or once a month at most. It is a 40+ GB database and we are expecting 100 to 200 MB of logs per night. For business reasons, we are limited to some type of file transfer mechanism for the data transfer, and cannot really change their backup schedule which is nightly fullbackups and tlogs every 30 minutes.

Is it backup of Log file ? or moving backup logs to any other destination ?

Hi all,
I am using SQL 2k EP Editions with SP2 on Win 2k Advance servers. Since more than week or so I am trying to establish log shipping between two servers. But its not working.
I am using database maintainence plan wizard to set up log shipping. Every thing works fine as far as wizard is concern, it creats plan for log shipping. But my log shipping is not working. The plan to back up log on source database is working fine. I can see the job history and the log files in the backup folder. But I have found that the job on the standby server to copy log file on network folder is failing and so the job to restore log on stand by server. I get the following message
"sqlmaint.exe failed with error state....."
Little reaserch on the standby server found that sql server is using maintainence plan to copy and restore log files, but i do not see any database maintainence plans on standby server as well as I have checked that there is no plan id in sysjobs table on either server.
I have sa rights. The account used by sql service and sql agent have admin rights and they do have rights to access the network folder for both the servers. So there is no rights problem.
I have followed all steps published in white paper for setting up log shipping on microsoft web site.
I have searched microsoft KB but it is of no use for sqlmaint.exe.
Any help is highly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

This might end up being fairly lengthy...I'm in the midst of implementing log shipping as a "warm stand-by" solution at my company. All the components appear to be in place: I'm using cmd shell to copy the backup device file to a remote server and then execute a RESTORE stored procedure on the remote server.
The copy and restore work just fine. The problem I'm having is with the transaction log dumps and restores.
We normally dump transaction logs (and then truncate) every hour. With the log shipping being implemented, we're going to want to do separate log dumps every ten or fifteen minutes, copy that dump over to the remote server, and then apply that log to the database.
Here's the question: for the log ship portion, I don't truncate the log. But after the "normal" log dump occurs, things get tossed out of whack. When you try to apply a log, I get the message "database has not been rolled forward enough....".
Has anyone encountered this type of issue and if so, how did you work around it? I'm assuming it's a simple of issue of certain options you set on your dumps and scheduling....
I'd appreciate any help....
Thanks!!!
Does anyone know if Log Shipping in SQL 2000 Ent also ships over database schema changes?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are considering implementing log shipping. Do the sql server logs keep track of the logs that are shipped and applied through log shipping? Or is there some other way to make sure that all logs have been shipped and applied?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been successful in getting log shipping working but still have some nagging questions that I cannot find answers to.
1. I had a situation where the copy for one TranLog took much longer than the 15 minute interval I have it setup for. It seemed to get stuck on that copy. Is that how it is supposed to behave.
2. Related to the question above, weekly, I have jobs that reorganize, check integity, recalc statistics. Would these jobs create very large log files? If so, how do others deal with this?
3. Is there any documents available that discuss testing converting your secondary server/database to your primary and back again?
4. Is there a way to setup Email notification to report out-of-sync conditions?
Any other gotcha's that people have run into.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
While configuring log shipping, if i choose the "allow database to assume primary role" then the "ceate and initialise new database " option is selected by default..Does this happen all the time or am i missing something.What if i have already initialised the destination database.
Thanks

Hi all,
I am testing my log - shipping strategy. I have tried with northwind database and it was successfully created and is operating. However in order to test I have created a new Test Table in the primary database to see whether it is working. From now on database shows that it has been loading and I cannot see any tables it is grayed and it says loading. What would be the problem? When I checked the logs it has been copying to the secondary database and it doesn't show any error in the log-shipping monitor. It seem everything is cool accept this loading part. If some one help me I really appreciate it.
Thanks

HI,
Is there any effect on taking full backups on Primary Server while log Shipping is in place? If we take a full backup is that applied to the secondary server?
thanks
We would like to use log shipping for a Near Real Time (5 min delay)reporting server. SQL 2000 requires exclusive use of the database when the logs are applied. This presents a problem since there may be a couple of hundred users on the NRT server. Even if they only make connections when running the reports there could be some contention issues. Has anybody used log shipping in this type of scenario?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to log ship a database from server A (source) to server B (read only) when the database on server A is partly replicated (transactional repl) to several other servers ? All hints and advices are highly appreciated.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know why some databases in SQL 2K Enterprise are not available for log shipping? In other words when you select a database Log Shipping this option is not available (grayed out). Other DB's on the same server log ship without problem.
Any ideas?
I think Microsoft has an answer to this but their site is not working so I can't get to the Q270006 which supposed to discuss that. If you do a search in KB for "Log Shipping is disabled" you will see the WebCast link which references Q270006 but then if you click on the link to go to the Q link does not work and search Q270006 is not found in KB..
Hello,
to use Log Shipping solution, Entreprise Edition is required for both Primary and Secondry Server (you agree ?).
Do you have an idea about licence regarding the secondry Server (suppose that you have to switch 2 or 3 per year. The second server will be used 2 or three times per year).
In some plateform (xeon CPU), the logical number of CPU is 2 times the physical number (SQL Server See 2 CPUs. You have 1 physical CPU).
Do you have an idea about licence in this case ?
Thanks a lot ...
Hi,
I have following question ( same was asked to me by my collegue)
I have Log shipping between two servers ( say Server A - Primary & Server B - Secondary).
One user is logged in to B Server and fired a long query on the same database / object. it is taking a very long time to execute.
Q : How this will impact the log shipping process ?
Ans : Log shipping will fail as the secondary db will show as " database is in use" for log shipping process.
Q : How to recover the log shipping process?
And : Notify the user to disconnect the session / or kill the user session. But i don't know how to recover the log shipping.
Thanks in advance.

All, I am new to log shipping and I am troubleshooting an issue with it. Basically somebody restored a backup from a day ago on the primary server, now the load is failing on the destination (obviously). I read that I should disable the jobs and backup and restore to the destination server to get it going again. I have some questions on this though, since the destination is a standby I read that I need to use the WITH STANDBY clause and specify a standby file name to use. Where do I find out the standby file name to use here and also is this the only way to get it back in synch?
Thanks in advance.
