What Am I Really Looking At In The Process Info Window?
Mar 20, 2006
I had a clients dba send me a peice of sql from the Last T-SQL command window from the process info screen under current activity in the enterprise mangler. It was a select query from a large table with no where clause.
I setup profiler for all of the xxxx:completed events for the T-SQL and Stored Procedure Event Classes. I played with that part of the app for a while. I could not find my sql in the trace. I finally gave in and open the Mangler and I was able to reproduce it once but I still could not find the sql profiler. It is not in syscomments and I have a developer running a FIND in the app code.
EDIT: I know the sql the query processor uses is not always the sql you send it.
I am kind of confused about what that window shows I rarely use it for something like that. Anyone have any light to shed?
I want to check who access the database in the sql server. When i go to current activity then process info. I found not all the users who access the database are displayed. Even though i refresh it. It didn't show up. But i am sure some user was accessing the database. Anybody know why, how can i avoid it. Thanks.
Hello, i just check the process Info in the sql server enterprise manager, I found two same user but different host (such as host1 and host2), and also i have update problem that write confilct error messager (i use access as front end and sql server as back end) Does the two process cause problem? Actually i found the host2 computer actually is dead, why that host appear in the process Info, any body has idea? Thanks in advance.
I have a SQLServer that gets accessed by some medical software through Citrix. So there are about 100 users at any point in time,but I can see 650+ Processes in Current Activity->Process Info in Enterprise Manager.
The company is complaining that if they dont reboot their SQL Server everyday it gets too slow to use. Does the # of Processes have any relation to their preformance issues?
I couldn't find an 'SQL Server Agent' Forum , so I'm posting this here...sorry.
I'm using a job to run a batch file with several robocopy commands in it. The step in the scheduled job runs a SSIS package saved in the Server Package Store. The SSIS package uses an 'Execute Process Task' control flow item. The 'Execute Process task' simply calls and execute the batch file. (WindowStyle property = Maximized) The package/job runs fine in both Visual Studio and in Management Studio. However when run from the latter (SQL Management Studio Job) the command prompt window (dos screen) doesn't open so I can't tell at what stage the batch file is in at any given time.
How can I get the window to open? By the way the window does open if I run the SSIS from Visual Studio.
SQL 2000 SP3================================================In reviewing this screen, I have SPIDS > 100 that have a status ofsleeping, command = AWAITING COMMAND and login/batch dates that areweeks old ... Shouldn't this list be more recent activity only ?Thanks,Craig
Just recently I noticed something that I consider very strange on a SQL7.0 server with SP1.
In [Server -> Management -> Current Activity -> Process Info] I see a great number of rows(connections) around 70 or so that all have the same net_address value. However, the nt_loginame is different on each.
Q1: How can this be? Q2: Isn't the net_address really the MAC of the network card?
Also, on a test SQL7.0 server with SP1 where the connections are far less (around 15 or so), I noticed the same problem. Luckily, because the connection count is low I was able to go around to each machine where the nt_loginame was used to log on and found that the net_address shown in [Current Acivity] didn't match any of these machines. Why?
Dear AllI have problem with my database server which running SQL server 2000.The server running very slow. The worst case, to save a record requiredmore than 20-30 seconds.Since this problem, I usually monitoring Process Info from EnterpriseManager (Management - Current Activity), and I found a misteriousprocess as follow :1. User: SystemAccessTo: MasterStatus: BackgroundCommon: Task ManagerWaiting: >438 Million2. User: SystemAccessTo: MasterStatus: BackgroundCommon: Task ManagerPhysical IO: > 510003. User: Administrator (Join domain)Database: MSDBStatus: SleepingCommon: Awaiting CommandApp: SQL Agent Alert EngineCPU Usage: > 16 MillionAnybody know about these condition? Does it normal?ThanksMichael
In MSDN, it says that it is recommended to use windows authentication to connect to SQL Server rather than use mixed authentication.
I create user deltasqluser on windows OS, and I specify in my webform ASP.NET script below :
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label Label1; private string _connString = @"data source=deltasql2000;initial catalog=northwind;integrated security=false;user id=deltasqluser"; /* comment : I login to my windows as deltakoronx, and I want to every user (including me), connected to sql server through IIS, will be identified as deltasqluser not as user's login (impersonate) */ private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(_connString); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(); cmd.Connection = conn; cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.CommandText = "select suser_sname()";
at web.config, I add : <identity impersonate="false" userName="deltasqluser" password="" />
at IIS webApplication1's properties, tab "Directory Security", at "Authentication and access control" section, I checked "enable anonymous access" with user : DELTAIUSR_DELTA and checked "Integrated Windows Authentication",
at query analyzer, I login as "sa" and execute script below : exec sp_grantdbaccess 'deltasqluser','northwind'
when I run the ASP.NET script, error at conn.Open(); with error message : Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.
What should I do so that IIS login to SQL Server as user deltasqluser not as "NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" ?
I want to be able to see when records have been added to a table. The issue is we have a DTS job scheduled to run every night. The developer who wrote it password protected it and doesn't work here anymore. I want to add a step to this series of DTS jobs and want to run it just prior to his job. Is there a way to see when the records are being added or when this job is being run? Thanks again, you guys are the best.
I was trying to extract data from the source server using OLEDB Source and SQL Server Destination when i encountered this error:
"Transaction (Process ID 135) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.".
What must be done so that even if the table being queried is locked, i wouldn't experience any deadlock?
Hello all, I am running into an interesting scenario on my desktop. I'm running developer edition on Windows XP Professional (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Developer Edition). OS is autopatched via corporate policy and I saw some patches go in last week. This machine is also a hand-me-down so I don't have a clean install of the databases on the machine but I am local admin.
So, starting last week after a forced remote reboot (also a policy) I noticed a few of the databases didn't start back up. I chalked it up to the hard shutdown and went along my merry way. Friday however I know I shut my machine down nicely and this morning when I booted up, I was in the same state I was last Wenesday. 7 of the 18 databases on my machine came up with
FCB:pen: Operating system error 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) occurred while creating or opening file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation. and it also logs FCB:pen failed: Could not open file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.).
I've caught references to the auto close feature being a possible culprit, no dice as the databases in question are set to False. Recovery mode varies on the databases from Simple to Full. If I cycle the SQL Server service, whatever transient issue it was having with those files is gone. As much as I'd love to disable the virus scanner, network security would not be amused. The data and log files appear to have the same permissions as unaffected database files. Nothing's set to read only or archive as I've caught on other forums as possible gremlins. I have sufficient disk space and the databases are set for unrestricted growth.
Any thoughts on what I could look at? If it was everything coming up in RECOVERY_PENDING it's make more sense to me than a hit or miss type of thing I'm experiencing now.
Dear list Im designing a package that uses Microsofts preplog.exe to prepare web log files to be imported into SQL Server
What Im trying to do is convert this cmd that works into an execute process task D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad>preplog ex.log > out.log the above dos cmd works 100%
However when I use the Execute Process Task I get this error [Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoadpreplog.exe" "" at "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad", The process exit code was "-1" while the expected was "0".
There are two package varaibles User::gsPreplogInput = ex.log User::gsPreplogOutput = out.log
How do I use the execute process task? I am trying to unzip the file using the freeware PZUnzip.exe and I tried to place the entire command in a batch file and specified the working directory as the location of the batch file, but the task fails with the error:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC0029151 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: In Executing "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeeklyUnzip.bat" "" at "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeekly", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Then I tried to specify the exe directly in the Executable property and the agruments as the location of the zip file and the directory to unzip the files in, but this time it fails with the following message:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "%1 is not a valid Win32 application".
The command in the batch file when run from the command line works perfectly and unzips the file, so there is absolutely no problem with the command, I believe it is just the set up of the variables on the execute process task editor under Process. Any input on resolving this will be much appreciated.
I am designing a utility which will keep two similar databases in sync. In other words, copying the new data from db1 to db2 and updating the old data from db1 to db2.
For this I am making use of the 'Tablediff' utility which when provided with server name, database, table info will generate .sql file which can be used to keep the target table in sync with the source table.
I am using the Execute Process Task and the process parameters I am providing are:
The customer.bat file will have the following code: tablediff -sourceserver "LV-SQL5" -sourcedatabase "TC_CTI" -sourcetable "CUSTOMER_1" -destinationserver "LV-SQL2" -destinationdatabase "TC_CTI" -destinationtable "CUSTOMER" -f "c:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1"
the .sql file will be generated at: C:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1.
The Problem: The Execute Process Task is working fine, ie., the tables are being compared correctly and the .SQL file is being generated as desired. But the task as such is reporting faliure with the following error :
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:SQL_bat_FilesSQL5TC_CTIpackage_occurrence.bat" "" at "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90COM", The process exit code was "2" while the expected was "0". ]
Some of you may suggest to just set the ForceExecutionResult = Success (infact this is what I am doing now just to get the program working), but, this is not what I desire.
I'm pulling data from Oracle db and load into MS-SQL 2008.For my data type checks during the data load process, what are options to ensure that the data being processed wouldn't fail. such that I can verify first in-hand with the target type of data and then if its valid format load it into destination table else mark it with error flag and push into errors table... All this at the row level.One way I can think of is to load into a staging table then get the source & destination table -column data types, compare them and proceed.
should I just try loading the data directly and if it fails try trouble shooting(which could be a difficult task as I wouldn't know what caused error...)
I am having this table locking issue that I need to start paying attention to as its getting more frequent.
The problem is that the data in the tables is live finance data that needs to be changed and viewed almost real time so what I have picked up so far is that using 'table Hints' may not be a good idea.
I have a guy at work telling me that introducing a data access layer is the only way to solve this, I am not convinced but havnt enough knowledge to back my own feeling up. (asp system not .net).
Hi, I'm trying to upload the ASPNETDB.MDF file to a hosting server via FTP, and everytime when it was uploaded half way(40% or 50%) I would get an error message saying: "550 ASPNETDB.MDF: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" and then the upload failed. I'm using SQL Express. Does anybody know what's the cause? Thanks a lot
Hi. When I try to start a package manually clicking the Start Debugging button I get this after a little while:
Cannot process request because the process (3880) has exited. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)
How can I prevent this from happening? This happens every time I want to start the package and every time the process id is different. Here it is 3880.
I have had a full lock on my sql server and I have a few logs to found the origin of the lock.
I know the process at the head of the lock is the 55 process.
Here are the information I have on this process: Spid 55 55 ecid 5 5 Ecid 0 0 ObjId 0 1784601646 IndId 0 0 Type DB PAG Resource 1:1976242 Mode S IS Status TransID GRANT GRANT TransID 0 16980 TransUOW 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

Would someone know a way to identify the origin of the process 55?
I have already tried to execute the following request: select * from SYSOBJECTS where id=1784601646
I have a File System Task Copy file operation to copy a file in an SSIS package. The package when scheduled as a job fails with the following error:
The process cannot access the file 'C:ETLConsignmentAppleAppleRawFile.txt' because it is being used by another process.".
However when I right click on the package and execute it manually from the Integration Services it runs successfully without any problem. I am not certain on how to resolve this issue any inputs will be much appreciated.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Rename file 1, File System Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.".
When running two File System Tasks after each other, with the same file, the file is still locked when running the second task. Resulting in an error: 0xC002F304 at Rename file 1, File System Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.".
I found a workaround by addind a Execute Process Task before the second File System Task that pings to the localhost. This results in a 5 second delay, but there must be a better solution. Anyone?
i'm going nuts with SQL server notification thing. I have gone throigh this artical which tells how to set user http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/SqlDependencyPermissions.aspx. This article show how to create new user and setup for sql server notification.But In my case user was alredy existing in database. which is very common senario in most cases. So i did following( check the SQL script below) but then i get this error "A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process.

Hi I am using VWD 2008, SQL Express 2005, Reporting Services, Win-XP, IIS5Basically let's say I have 2 pages:Page1: has a SQLDataSource control that populates a GridView from a table from a database file myDB.mdf (no code behind)Page2: has a reportviewer control that show a report with data from the same table from myDB.mdf from the reportserver, (no code behind)I have attached myDB.mdf to the SQL Server Express using the SQL Server Management Studio Express.If I first open Page2 to display the ReportViewer it works ok. or using the Report ManagerNow this is the problem:If after that I try to open Page1 then a get an error message:Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'myServerASPNET'. Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'myServerASPNET'.Then I have to restart the SQL Server to fix it,Now I can open Page1 ok, but if after this I try to open Page2 (ReportViewer) againThen I get this error:" An error has occurred during report processing. o Cannot create a connection to data source 'my_Datasource'. &And this error if open the report using the report manager:" An error has occurred during report processing. o Cannot create a connection to data source 'my_Datasource'. § Unable to open the physical file "C:InetpubwwwrootWebsiteApp_DatamyDB.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)". &Now if i check the Management Studio Express again, you can see that myDB.mdf was detached. It seems to be there by it has no Tables or definitions, so I have to attach it again..Do you know how to fix this?Thanks in advance,Ed
made my first web application using vb script. I am trying to use window authentication for my web page and try to give all permission based on window domain user account. Here is the connecting string I was using to connect to the sql server and it was working fine.
I made couple of changes so it run on based on window domain user. 1) my server is set on window and sql server 2) Web.config file – I set Authentication mode = “ Window� 3) I also added under set <authorization> <deny users="?" /> </authorization>
4) change the connecting string to : ( Added "Integrated Security=True;" and removed line for user and password)
5) run the application and now I am getting error said “Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.� I was expecting window pop up log in to enter domain user and password and then verity the user and password against sql server and the take it from there. Where I made mistake. Need help.
I need to make a homemade Search form for my users....one that they can press a button type in lastname or TM#, FirstName or SSN and BAM!!!!!! theres the results populated on the form. Anyone know of any good sites where I can obtain some info on how to create one of these or something??
