Sql Version Mirror-replication
Jun 13, 2007
Hi i have tried a search on this topic but didn't find much.
I have my fiest sql db live on my we server and all works fine, more luck than skill i think.
But now i wory about backing up my data i have tried various tools backing up the db every 5 minutes and then sending it too another server via ftp this tool works fine but when we have a few people on and the db is accessed frequently it can't back it up i assume this is to do with the backup tool needing an exclusive lock on it.
What is the difference between Replication and data mirror both of these seem to be talked about alot and is there a simple guide somewhere on how to set these up.
Or if i am coming at this from totally the wrong angle then please let me know
Thanxs

In documentation about SQL mirroring, the only thing about version requirement are that: 1) enterprise, standard, developer edition; 2) SP1 for official support
Is there any requirement for the Principal and Mirror SQL instances? For example, can one be Enterprise, the other one be Standard? Can one be SP1 and the other one be SP2?
It seems we are having some problem with the above scenario, not sure if that's supported..
Thanks!

Hi ALL,
I have a problem with merge replication and mirror. I have
Principal server: B is subscriber of A.
Mirror server: D is subscriber of C.
F is distributor and also witness.
D is mirror of B.
C is mirror of A.
I also set parameter PublisherFailoverPartner for Merge agent and log reader agent.
1. Merge replication between A and B is ok
2. Mirror between D and B is ok
Mirror between C and A is ok
3. When i failove, merge replication between D and C does not work. The message is shown
The merge process could not connect to the Publisher 'SGIMIS-2:Mis'. Check to ensure that the server is running. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199368)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199368
Another merge agent for the subscription(s) is running or the server is working on a previous request by the same agent. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 21036)
Get help: http://help/21036
Thanks for your supports. You can email me via buihuynhmai@yahoo.com directly.

I'm trying setup a proof of concept for a client but I€™m having issues with mirroring and replication.
With the help of http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151799.aspx I€™ve done the following..
The setup is as follows, I have several instances of SQL Server
A+B are mirrored with each other, with A being the principle and B the mirror
C is the distributor
E is subscribes to A, with parameters for PublicationFailoverPartner set to B
The mirroring between A+B works fine, I can manually fail each and the databases keep in step.
Without testing the mirroring failover, the replication between A+C+E also works.
However when I test the mirror to failover between A+B no transactions are replicated though to E. The publication moves from A to B in the Server Management Studio.
The logs state that the log reader agent can not gain access to A, however nothing is recorded regarding any attempts to contact B. In the replication monitor the error message
"The concurrent snapshot for publication ABCXYZ is not available because it has not been fully generated of the Log Reader Agent is not running to activate it. If generation of the concurrent snapshot was interrupted, the Spapshot Agent for the publica..." (cut off).
"the process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on 'A'
I have checked that the SQL Server Agents are running on all agents,
I have checked that that server B is set at the PublisherFailoverPartner on server C agent configuration; I'm now at a lost as to what is wrong,
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

All,
We have SQL 2005 db mirror configured with a witness server for high availability. Node 1 is the principal and Node 2 is the mirror. A nightly job creates a snapshot on Node 2. The snapshot is used for previous day reporting queries. We have now been asked to present another copy of the database for near-time reporting. I thought about possibly adding a peer-to-peer replication as part of my environment but was hoping to see what everyone else out there is doing.
Regards,
Ian

Hi all.
Any assistance regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
We are currently in the process of setting up replication, and I need to do some testing prior to putting this into production.
I would like to test the replication using SQL Server 2005 Standard edition as this is the version we will be implementing on our servers. My question is this - is there a trial version of the Standard Edition as my understanding is that the trial version that can be downloaded from Microsoft's website is the Enterprise Edition. If it is the enterprise edition, I am concerned that my tests will not be a true reflection of our proposed systems.
Does anyone know where I can obtain the Standard Edition trial version?
Many thanks.

What is the minimum SQL Server version I can use on my replication distributor server? My publisher and subscriber(s) will all be Enterprise Edition (64 bit). However, it seems awefully wasteful to put Enterprise Edition on a box that is just used for distribution. That's another $15K for a server that doesn't do much. Can I use a lower version (Express, Developer, Standard)?
Thank you,
Ben Wolf

Hi ,
We have a sqlserver 6.5 and sqlserver 7.0 on separate machines.
We cannot upgrade the 6.5 to 7.0 as of now since we have certain projects still running on that box.
However,we would need to push and pull data across the servers.
Could we setup replication across the instances?although they are of different versions?
Thanks and Regards,
Mandar

After adding the Witness Server to the Mirror session, the Witness Connection state between the Mirror and Witness Connection is Disconnected and the state between Principal and Witness Connection is Connected.
The procedures defined in Books Online was used to setup Database Mirroring...when the Witness server was added to the Mirror session, only the alter database T-SQL statement was executed on the Principal server.
ALTER DATABASE <db_name> SET WITNESS = 'TCP://<servername>:<port>'
After executing the above statement, a few seconds later the state between Principal and Witness Connection changed to Connected and the state between Mirror and Witness Connection remains Disconnected.
The Mirror session is not using Certificates, every server is on the same domain, using the same domain login account, and all servers have SP2 installed running Enterprise Edition.
Any idea's why the state between Mirror and Witness Connection remains Disconnected?
Thanks,

Is there any way to restore a database of higher version to lower version.
E.g. I have created a database in sql server 2012, created some tables & procedures in that.I took Full backup of that database. Can I restore it to sql 2008r2 or any lower version.
I know direct restore is not possible, I have to use either import or export option or generating script,but i want to know is there any easy step to do so.

Hi all,
Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
Thank you very much

Hello,I have been searching and reading a lots of information on the microsoft website about the different version of SQL server, but still can not make my decision.In term of performance, is there a real big difference between the workgroup and the standard version? The workgroup is limited to 3 GB of RAM while the standard is unlimited, would that really change the performance if my server has 16Gb or RAM?The price difference is pretty substantial so if could only have to buy the workgroup , it would be better.One more question, regarding the type of licence, my server has 2 processors, could I avoid buying 2 licences and get the Server plus CAL instead. I am using this server to host 4 web-application running on SQL server. Each database is about 15 MB.Thanks in adavance for your advises.Arno

I am wondering if it is possible to change from SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation Version to Developer Version. The reason is because the Enterprise Evaluation version expires after 180 days. So if I create reports and cubes in Enterprise Evaluation I can import them into Developer Edition right? Should I remove the Enterprise Evaluation version after 180 days or leave it then install Developer Edition?

I have an ssis package that downloads a SQL Server 2000 database and restores it to a SQL 2005 server. Ninety-five percent of the time it runs just fine, but every so often the job fails and I get the following set of error messages in the log file.

I have received the error message "Package migration from version 8 to version 6 failed".I have developed a SSIS package with Visual Studio 2013 which gives me PackageFormatVersion of 8. I then deploy my package to the ssisdb catalog that is running on a SQL Server 2012, this works fine but when I try to execute the package the error arises…due to SQL Server 2012 has a PackageFormatVersion of 6 and it can’t run something that has a greater version.I haven’t seen any good solution for this but one that would work for me would be to upgrade the Integration Services Server from 2012 to 2014, leaving everything else in 2012 (database, ssms, ssas, ssrs).Would this solve the package format problem? Would I then be able to execute my packages in the ssisdb catalog?

Now, I checked and verified that my backup version of SQL Server is the same as the version installed on the computer I'm restoring too.
I have SQL Server on a production machine that I backed up and want to test a full restore on a dev machine to make sure it will work when I need it to.
Now that I've run the restore command on my tape backup and go to restart the SQL server service I receive:
Configuration block version 0 is not a valid version number. SQL Server is exiting. Restore the master database or reinstall.
I'm afraid I don't understand why this is happening. If the builds are the same, then shouldn't restoring the MASTER database have worked normally and I'd be able to restart the service now?
Any thoughts or suggestions?

We have a 64bit os machine that we accidently loaded the 32 bit version of sql server on. We now want to upgrade it to 64 bit sql server, but we now have a production database on it. My understanding is that all I have to do is detach the production database, upgrade to 64bit sql server, then reattach the database. Is this really all I have to do?

I started this thread as the last attempt to sort the issue out.
I have an SSIS package that loads data from a .csv file into my database. It works fine on my developer machine. I start it programmatically or from Management Studio or from Visual Studio, and it works. Then I deploy it to the MSDB database on the computer on which it will have its final place. There again I can start it from Management Studio or from Visual Studio (using the source file), and it works. But when I start it programmatically, it just fails telling me:
Package Warnings:
Package Errors:
The version of component "****" (11773) is not compatible with this version of the DataFlow.
Component "component "Derived Column" (13627)" could not be created and returned error code 0x80070005. Make sure that the component is registered correctly.
The component is missing, not registered, not upgradeable, or missing required interfaces. The contact information for this component is "Flat File Source;Microsoft Corporation;Microsoft SqlServer v9; (C) 2005 Microsoft Corporation; All Rights Reserved; http://www.microsoft.com/sql/support;1".
component "Agreement File" (11773) failed validation and returned error code 0xC0048021.
One or more component failed validation.
There were errors during task validation.
Maybe the source of the problem is that this machine is a 64-bit one, while the developer machine is 32-bit one. But why does the package run fine when I start it from Management Studio?
Any help would be appreciated.

Can some one here give me more insight about how to upgrade a SQL Server 2005 Standard Version (32 bits) to a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Version (32 bits) as default instance on a Windows 2003 enterprise OS (32 bits). I want to know what is the easist way and what is the safest way. May I preserve some settings I have for the STD version, or I have to start from strach again to configure the server? Is there any catches, anything I should have attention to (We are using heavily about CLR and fulltext indexing)?
Thanks a milliom

Hello,
I installed the SQL Server 2k EnterPrise version and developer version on the same version, and the developer version is an instance "Development".
How do I expose both of them to internet? Just open both of them to port 1433? And on the client side, just say IP and IP/Development? Do I need specific set up, will they conflict?
Thanks,

The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.54'. the expected version is 'C.0.8.40'. To continue, update the version of the report server database and verify access rights. I'm getting this whenever try to access the report server via SSMS, I have tried to upgrade via the Reporting Service Configuration Manager but get an error message similar to above except it says: The database version (C.o.8.54) does not match your Reporting Services installation. This version of the database cannot be upgraded. You must use a different database. Has anyone seen this before? I can create a new database, but don't want to loose all my reports. Any ideas. Oh, not even sure if the backups exist from before this error, I've spent 2 weeks trying to get access to the server so I could try to upgrade, only to get the above results. Thanks for your help, David

I downloaded the 101 Samples installation (i.e. 101SamplesCS.msi) from Microsoft's website, which contains SQL Server database files.
While working with the databases in the "Data Access" samples from the 101 Samples projects, I get the following error:
"Database <mdf_name> cannot be upgraded because its non-release version (600) is not supported by this version of SQL Server. You cannot open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.exe. You must re-create the database..."
I assume the database files were created with a beta or CTP version of SQL Server 2005. Does anyone know where I can get an updated version of these database files or scripts to update them?
Please help.
