Hey all
I am new here and fairly new to SQL server. And yes i have a question, that maybe dumb.
My boss wants me to reporting to him the health of the DB each week. So here are a few questions.
1. What really defines the "health" of a DB? What elements should I be reporting to him?
2. Is there any utilities out there that would be helpful or can SQL provide enough info?
3. I am using 2005 standard, so I have the shipped reports in summary page. But is this enough? and can I customize them?
Sorry I am having a hard time even asking the questions cause I am not really sure what to ask. Any help or pointing down t he correct path
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
jason
Hi, I have implemented health monitoring for my web-site, using the SQL provider. Health monitoring works fine when the website is run from VS2005, using the built in web server, all the expected events are inserted into the aspnet database. However when I deploy the site onto IIS, no events are ever inserted into the database. I would appreciate some help figuring out why this is happening! The code that implements the health monitoring in my web.config file is:1 <healthMonitoring 2 enabled="true" 3 heartbeatInterval="0"> 4 <bufferModes> 5 6 <remove name="Analysis"/> 7 8 <add name="Analysis" 9 maxBufferSize="10" 10 maxFlushSize="2" 11 urgentFlushThreshold="2" 12 regularFlushInterval="00:00:02" 13 urgentFlushInterval="00:00:01" 14 maxBufferThreads="1"/> 15 16 </bufferModes> 17 18 <providers> 19 20 <remove name ="SqlWebEventProvider"/> 21 22 <add name="SqlWebEventProvider" type="System.Web.Management.SqlWebEventProvider, 23 System.Web,Version=2.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" 24 25 connectionStringName="SQL_ASPNET" 26 maxEventDetailsLength="1073741823" 27 buffer="true" 28 bufferMode="Analysis" 29 30 /> 31 32 </providers> 33 34 <eventMappings> 35 36 <remove name ="All Events"/> 37 <add name="All Events" 38 type="System.Web.Management.WebBaseEvent, System.Web,Version=2.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/> 39 40 </eventMappings> 41 42 <profiles> 43 44 <remove name="Default"/> 45 <add name="Default" 46 minInstances="1" 47 maxLimit="Infinite" 48 minInterval="00:10:00" 49 /> 50 </profiles> 51 52 <rules> 53 54 <add name="All Events" 55 eventName="All Events" 56 provider="SqlWebEventProvider" 57 profile="Default" 58 minInterval="00:00:01" 59 minInstances="1" /> 60 61 </rules> 62 63 </healthMonitoring> 64
I'm starting to collect and develop some scripts that will tell me the health and welfare of my MSSQL 2k server. I have a few for blocks, db size, who is on and what they are currently running.
I was wondering if you guys could share some of the scripts you guys use to watch the health of your servers.

Help Please!!! I am killing myself already...... the code is like this; Read the code, and the error.... this is bull, because every page in the site, including base page, and opther classes in the same assembly as this class use the exact same connection string call and open. And it always works!!!! However, when going thorgyugh health monitoring, i get the error: Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

I want to run Profiler Traces, Perfmon Checks and whatever else to see what hits the server the hardest in order to work out where I can make performance improvements. We don't have any massive problems other than more timeouts than I would expect from web users no-and-then when they do pretty simple free-text searches. I just want to see if I can lighten the load on the server in general.
Where does a DBA get the most ROI? I don't want to drift into the realm of diminishing returns where I am making changes that have no noticeable impact.
What should I start measuring first and how do you measure it? (E.g. if I should monitor disk writes in Profiler, how many writes are too high for a statement? 100? If so, is one 100-write statement per hour OK but one 100-write statement per second is not OK?)
If there is already an article for this, my apologies. I'd be grateful if you can point me to it. Is http://www.sql-server-performance.com/ a sufficient one-stop-shop for this question? If so, have you found some articles there to be more useful than others?
Recently I've installed Microsoft SQL Server Health and History Tool Version 2
and The SQLH2 Reports are a set of reports that provide different views on the data
that the tool collects. But unfortunately I can be able to see Data on Performone counters
Report. I can not find optional component SQLH2 Performance Collector is a stand-
alone service of Microsoft Windows that collects and stores performance counter data from
selected servers.
The Deployment guide tells :
Performance Collector is optional, and is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center (search for SQL Server with keyword SQLH2): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx
Hi Everybody, Can anybody tell me how to get the number of commands delivered per minute in case of Merge Replication with Publisher and subscribers. This way, we can be sure that even if there is a latency (due to high volume transaction processing), replication is in good shape and things will catch up soon. Also if there are any other similar measures which can be monitored to make sure that replication is going on fine, it would be great
Please let me know If anyone has got information on same.
Based on the description below on average how many hours a month would it take to monitor and maintain the MSSQL Server databases?
Description of IT infrastructure.All Windows Servers and MSSQL Servers are up to date on patches and best practices.
Corporate site with 3 remote sites.
All remote sites have one DC and one MSSQL Server.
The corporate site has one MSSQL Server.
Replication is performed between the remote MSSQL databases and the corporate office MSSQL database.
There is no in-house DBA. All DBA services will have to be outsourced. I am trying to determine what is reasonable in budgeting for time involved for this service.
There is one project written in MS Access using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) with the backend residing on these database.
The question is on average approximately how many hours a month would it take to monitor and maintain the health of the MSSQL Servers database by a MSSQL DBA. The DBA will not have to create any user reporting, queries, etc. Just maintain the existing MSSQL Servers database.
Our DBA has installed reporting services on a server and now in order to access the report manager, one has to be an Admin on that Server. I am guessing that there is a mistake in the configuration of Reporting Services. Usually it should allow anybody who was added to the roles in the properties section of the Report Manager, right? I have also added the users to the DB..
Also I am using Windows Authentication to access Report Catalog items (Reporting Services is installed on Server2) from a web Application(deployed on Server1) and displaying the report using report viewer. For some reason, server1 has to be in an Admin role on Server2 to access the report catalog/report. This is kinda strange for me as I don't want everybody to be an Admin on Server2. Can anybody please point in the right direction?
We have installed SQL Server 2005 with reporting services.When tried to open getting errors as below: how to avoid such errors See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I have some problem about reporting service add-in.
After I install reporting service add-in for SharePoint, reporting service menu does not appear in Application Management Tab in SharePoint Central Administration.
I try to uninstall and re-install again, it remain not work.
We've got a requirement to build the real time report. user can browse report at any point of time and need to see the latest data(stock market) in the report.
I've few options down...
1. Directly point to OLTP database as source and write stored procedure to show result set.
2. Replicate the database and write the SP's to reports. To avoid pointing directly to OLTP db.
3. To build the datawarehouse with dim & facts to show it in reports. I prefer this as a standard method, but this would have some latency depending on trasaction load which will differ from the requirement.
We are required to gather certain information regarding reporting services.
Which reports were requested, by whom , how long did they run for, what parameters were passed etc etc.
I see that the system tables do provide some of this information, is there a 3rd party tool or something we can use to gather all this type of information for us?
My reporting manager and reporting server were working fine in IIS. But when I booted the system one day, one error message came "Unexpected error" for the IIS. So I removed the IIS and reinstalled he same.
But after that, I tried to give virtual directories to reporting manager and reporting server sites. But it ain't working. Could you please help me?

I started my Reporting Server and if I use the Internet Explorer as a Administrator everything works fine.But if I don't open it as an admin it calls "rsAccess Denied The user [...] does not have the permission...".Problem is that I want to run it in an SAP Program with an HTML Viewer. how I can get those Permissions ?By the way somehow I'm not able to create or change roles in the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Hello, I understand that SQL Express Advanced Edition does not support report subscriptions. However, I have two questions:
Is there a way to run a report in a batch mode where the web ui would not show and perhaps the result of the report could be automated to export to .pdf format?
Does anyone know if SQL Express 2008 with Advanced Services will support report subscriptions, or any sort of a batch reporting capability?
I am trying to migrate my reports from SQL server 2000 reporting services 32bit to 2005 64bit. I am following the migration steps that MS specified. Restored my Reportserver and ReportserverTempDB databases Then I was using the configure Report services to upgrade these databases but I always end up getting the follwoing exception when I run the upgrade on the "Database Setup" configuration for 'ReportServerTempDB' database System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteNonQueryTds(String methodName, Boolean async) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.InternalExecuteNonQuery(DbAsyncResult result, String methodName, Boolean sendToPipe) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Common.DBUtils.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script) at ReportServicesConfigUI.SqlClientTools.SqlTools.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script)
It's driving me crazy, why is it looking for 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB' in the catalog instead of 'ReportServerTempDB'? Is it possible to migrate from 32bit to 64bit?
i have a list report some values of this are blank or null i want to avoid that spacing if it is null like name:jjj lastname kkk firstname address uuuu

We have SCCM 2012 primary site and Remote SQL 2012 server. Due to hardening and password reset we are facing reporting issue.
while we Open the SRS report in SQL server and try to edit the Report (Report Builder) we are getting following error due to which we are unable to configure Reporting Service point in the SCCM 2012 server. We created the New Reporting server database still we are getting the below error.
I am trying to learn Reporting Services using the title "MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Step by Step" by Stacia Misner and Hitachi Consulting, published in 2006. I am experiencing problems with some of the exercises. I got as far as Chapter 4 when I followed directions to create a SQL statement to define a query string for a dataset. Pg 80:
select * from vProductProfitability
where year = 2003 and
MonthNumberOfYear = 1
The view vProductProfitability does not exist in the tutorial database that came with the book, rs2005sbsDW. The result of this query is the basis for the entire chapter on developing basic reports and I'm being denied a learning opportunity because the view does not exist. In short, I'm stuck.
I have tried to find somewhere at Microsoft to place this question and get some answers so I can continue thru the tutorial. To no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
BTW, the solution that came in the CD is also wrong because the query noted above is also in the solution.
I'm attempting to obtain a cost effective solution for my existing customers to develop reports on their SQL 2000 Server installations using their Reporting Services 2000. With products like Visual Basic.NET 2003 becoming almost impossible to obtain, I have at least one customer who is running into a dead end.
One option possibly is the SQL Express with Advanced Services download, which has Reporting Services. My questions are as follows:
Can the report designer component of SQL Express Reporting Services be configured to connect to an external database (which would happen to be a SQL 2000 database) to establish its datasets? Does the resultant designed report end up in an RDL file? If the customer published this report via the Reporting Services 2000 Report Manager, would the report be able to run?
Sorry for asking a question like this that I could probably answer on my own, but my customer needed this answer yesterday. I have scoured the web and microsoft sites - and posted a question on the official SQL Reporting Services cateogy ... in an attempt to answer the basic question of how to design reports for Reporting Services 2000 in the absence of Visual Basic.NET 2003 (or other .NET 2003 tools) with no success.
Hi all. I have a dts package called package1 that I run once a weekthat does some imports/queries against about the same amount of dataeach run. I am wondering (hoping!) if I can run a query that will showits performance over the past 6 months in terms of how long theexecution for each run took.I think SQL server saves this dts package run history somewhere and ifso how can I do this? Am I totally off base?
I work in a big project and we will begin in using reporting services as the base technique for reports and I will be responsible for this part. but I have a problem I will discuss in the following:
Currently: We use currently devexpress reports and we have 2 languages(Arabic and English). the data in tables saved in two ways (Arabic and English). when the end user change the language of the web site the report data language changed when run it.
Example:
we have table with (ID, NAME_AR, NAME_EN, JobTitle_AR, JobTitle_EN). designed report will display(ID, NAME_EN, JobTitle_EN) . but the end user change the language of the system the report will
Hi there, i have been asked to build some reports to extend an app that i wrote. I have written the basics but i am stuck on a few things In SQL (or maybe C#) how can i break down my outstanding costs from orders into 1 - 3 days 3 - 7, 7 - 14, 14 - 21 - 21 - 30, 60, 90+ I have a basic idea, e.g. SELECT * FROM tbl_orders WHERE status = outstanding AND (date_ordered >= txtFromDate AND date_ordered <= txtToDate), i have used the between function, however because my DB is in american date, and my web.config formats it into UK date/time it throws an error
