Full Text Search in PDF file Not Working in SQL Server 2012

OS: Windows Server 2012 @ Azure
DB: SQL Server 2012 SP 1 with Cum Update 6
Filter: OfficeFilter installed, PDFFilter64 11 installed (actually I tried 9 too)
I have done the following steps:-
1. Configure SQL Server Instance to enable FILESTREAM for Transaction-SQL Access (IO Access and Allow Remote Client Access to FileStream data) and restart the instance service.
2. Set Stream Access Level to Full Access and
3. Create Database with file stream folder and set the created database Properties.Options: FileStreamDirectorName = fileContainer and FileStream Non-Transaction Access = Full.
4. Create a FileTable with file director
5. Execute the following scripts to ensure all installed components working. PDF is listed as one of the supported filter.
EXEC sp_fulltext_service @action='load_os_resources', @value=1;
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0 -- don't verify signatures
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'update_languages'; -- update language list
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'restart_all_fdhosts';
EXEC sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'filter'
reconfigure with override
6. Copy a few PPTX, DOCX, PDF file into the file director.
7. Search the data by following command. I can PPTX and DOCX files can return right result but PDF is not returned although it contains the searching contents.
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Course
WHERE CONTAINS(file_stream, 'Counsellor');
Any expert advise?

Are you seeing any errors in the SQL Server Error Log, the Windows Application or System logs? How about in the Full-text crawl logging?
Troubleshooting Errors in a Full-Text Population (Crawl)
If your server has a mix of multi-threaded iFilters and single-threaded iFilters, this can cause serious problems with building the full text index. (How do I know this? Well, let's just say that I have suffered as well. And I was shocked!)
The efficiency was greatly increased by this article:
Troubleshooting: Slow Full-Text Indexing Performance Due to Filtering Process
This means changing the threading model for the multi-threaded (e.g. Microsoft Office) filters to be Apartment Threaded. Or perhaps if you are full text indexing PDF files, abandoning the free single-threaded Adobe IFilter and purchasing the FoxIt
(or some other) multi-threaded PDF iFilter would benefit you.

Full text search of .pdf files in a file table.

I have installed the Adobe iFilter 11 64 bit and set the path to the bin folder. I still cannot find any text from the pdf files. I suspect I am missing something trivial because I don't find much when I Bing for this so it must not be a common problem.
Here is the code.
-- Adobe iFilter 11 64 bit is installed
-- The Path variable is set to the bin folder for the Adobe iFilter.
-- SQL Developer version 64 bit on both Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Hello,
We believe we have figured this out. It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me. See if this resolves it for you all as well.
Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
Go
--you might also need to run: sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0 --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
--go
2. Stop SQL Server. (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
3.
Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
4.
Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
6. Start SQL Server
7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname') --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
Give this a try and see if this fixes yours.
Sincerely,
Rob Beene, MSFT

Transaction Log Truncate not working on Sql Server 2012 High Availability Groups

Hi Everyone
Firstly I have tried to search the forum for similar issues but can't seem to find any that match our situation.
We have a SQL Server 2012 High Availability Group with 2 Nodes
Node 1 = Primary
Node 2 = Secondary
Backup Schedule as follows
Full Database Backup @ 00:00
Transaction Log Backup every 30 minutes from 00:30:00 till 23:59:59.
These backups are run by Maintenance Jobs, but we have also tried doing direct backups in SSMS using Backup Database and Backup Log commands.
Before we configured the High Availability group the transaction log backups worked fine.
After we configured the High Availability group we performed a Full Backup and the T-Log schedule did the T-Log backup. The 1st T-log backup truncated the log (Used space Decreased) as expected.
However subsequent T-Log backups do not truncate the T-Log.
This happens both in our acceptance and Live environments. This also happens when running the backups as a Backup operator and sysadmin, this does not seem to be a permissions issue at all.
We have tried running the Backup on the Primary and Secondary Replica.
What about High Availability groups could stop Transaction Log Backups from not truncating the log?
Thanks
James

Hi Sean
Thank you for your reply, please see the output of the sys.databases query below, and some others which you may find usefull.
Query: select database_id,recovery_model_desc, log_reuse_wait, log_reuse_wait_desc from sys.databases
where database_id = 5
Result: database_id   recovery_model_desc   log_reuse_wait   log_reuse_wait_desc
                 5

How does full-text search for pdf files work?

Hi there,
Basically I can see my pdf file in the content server.. inside the pdf there's a piece of test that says: "Test's Sample" but when I do a search with that string the file gets filtered from the results.
I think it has to do with the ' (single quote) being there because other text in the pdf works fine.. so I was wondering how does VDK store this full text? where? I'd like to see how it gets translated IF that's how it works with pdf files....
Following advice from Re: Parse error with search query I tried doing the search by:
Test\'s Sample
Test`s Sample
"Test's Sample"
The database is db2 if that helps.. how can I fix this problem?

Nevermind, I fixed it by changing the VDK filters (in case someone is looking for a solution too).
Cheers,

SSIS Package developed in SQL Server 2008 R2 Using BIDS 2008 is not working in SQL Server 2012

I am working in a Product based company.
We have given a Pre-requisites to our customers like SQL Server version should be 2008 or later.
I have developed and deployed my SSIS package in SQL Server 2008 R2 with BIDS 2008.
I have used "Script Component" in my package.
We will take only DTSX package file to the customer places and run using SQL Agent Job daily.
Who are all(Customer Environments) using SQL 2008 or R2 my package is running fine.
Who are all(Customer Environments) using SQL 2012, I am facing the below issue
The component metadata for “Script Component, clsid {874F7595-FB5F-4OFF-9BAF-FBFF825OE3EF}” could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed.
Still the same package is running fine for some of the customers having SQL 2012.
I am getting the above error only for few customers.
Can someone please guide me how to proceed on this. Is there any solution to go without upgrading the package to SQL 2012. Because we need to maintain only one package for all customers

Hi Katherine,
I am just using the script component only for generating Identity column purpose. I will get the maximum count from the table and using this count value as Input (JurisCount in my below code) for script component and increment the counter for new records.
Finally I am mapping the Script component output value (JurisKey in my below code) to Key column of the table. That's all I am doing with Script Component.
Here is my Simple .net code
/* Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Component
* Write scripts using Microsoft Visual C# 2008.
* ScriptMain is the entry point class of the script.*/
using System;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper;
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.SSISScriptComponentEntryPointAttribute]
public class ScriptMain : UserComponent
public override void PreExecute()
base.PreExecute();
Add your code here for preprocessing or remove if not needed
public override void PostExecute()
base.PostExecute();
Add your code here for postprocessing or remove if not needed
You can set read/write variables here, for example:
Variables.MyIntVar = 100
int counter = 0;
public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
if (counter == 0)
counter = Convert.ToInt32(Row.JurisCount);
Row.JurisKey = counter;
counter = counter + 1;

Full text search in BLOB columns NOT Working

Hi, I am using Oracle 9i.
Presently I use following code to create index.
begin
Ctx_Ddl.Drop_Preference ('text_only');
end;
begin
Ctx_Ddl.Create_Preference ( 'text_only', 'basic_lexer');
Ctx_Ddl.Set_Attribute ( 'text_only', 'index_text', 'true' );
Ctx_Ddl.Set_Attribute ( 'text_only', 'index_themes', 'false' );
end;
CREATE TABLE MY_XML_DOCS(
XML_RES_ID NUMBER (16) NOT NULL,
XML_RES BLOB NOT NULL,
XML_RES_PATH VARCHAR2 (128),
XML_DOCS_CREATED_BY VARCHAR2 (16) NOT NULL,
XML_DOCS_CREATED_DT DATE NOT NULL,
XML_DOCS_MODIFIED_BY VARCHAR2 (16),
XML_DOCS_MODIFIED_DT DATE ) ;
drop index FULL_TEXT_INDEX ;
create INDEX FULL_TEXT_INDEX ON MY_XML_DOCS(XML_RES)
INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.CONTEXT
parameters ('lexer text_only stoplist ctxsys.empty_stoplist');
BEGIN
CTX_DDL.sync_index('FULL_TEXT_INDEX ','10M');
END;
And I've some XML documents stored in blob columns in the above table. But my query with 'contains' param does not return expected results.(it presently returns no results). Do I miss anything? Do I need to specify any thing else while I create the Index? Kindly advice.

I would agree the CLOB storage would be preferable for XML. If you are using BLOB storage, by default the documents are going to be FILTERed by the INSO_FILTERS. A BLOB column will give you reduced storage in a unicode environment though.
If you wish to store your data in a BLOB though, you should specify the NULL_FILTER in your create index statement to avoid having the INSO_FILTERS invoked.
Further, you may also require a CHARSET column in your table specifying the character set of your data for each row if it can vary. The Column should then also be specified in the 'PARAMETERS' clause of the create index statement, this way Oracle knows the correct character set to use when converting the binary data to character data.
My guess that you are not getting any query results because none of the documents are actually being indexed. Be sure to query the ctx_user_index_errors view to determine if you are getting errors at indexing time.

Embedding Full-text Index into PDF File

Hello Everyone,
I've tried to create and embed full-text index into PDF file, but with no luck. I've followed steps described at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WSC28D4DBB-6A78-4027-9E04-F50FE411CFB9.w. html - there can be seen progress of collecting of data and at the end the button Update index is enabled. This is signal for me that Index was created. After clicking on Ok button, saving document as new one and then reopening "new created" document, there is info that no Index is embedded in the Manage Embedded Index dialog. Is there any other step necessary to do? Or is it bug? Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1 on Windows Vista 32bit is used.
Jan
PS: Interesting is also comment at the bottom of above mentioned help page...

Thanks for the response. It is true that if I make changes and look at the embedded index status, it shows that it needs updating
However the problem I can't get around after extensive testing is that sometimes for no apparent reason the index is dropped on save. This can happen if I check the status of the index to make sure it is valid, save the file, and reopen it.
I've concluded that this must be a bug and am using other indexing options for the time being.

Database Mail not working with SQL Server Agent

I'm running SQL Server 2005 Standard edition 64 bit with SP2 on a 64 bit machine.
Database mail does not work with SQL Server Agent. When I configure SQL Server Agent to use database mail the test email button is greyed out and inactive therefore I cannot send emails using operators or for jub success failure etc.
I've read that there was supposed to be a fix for this with SP1 but I have SP2 and still receive the same problem. Please can somebody help as I do not wish to use SQL Mail as a work around due to this becomming redundant in future versions of SQL Server.
Kind Regards

The problems solved
steps:
1)we create a mail profile at at Managment->Database Mail ,of SQL Managment
2)we set this account as "default" at Managment->Database Mail -> Configure Database Mail -> Manage profile security
3)At tab "Alert System" of SQL Server Agent properties , we check the "Enable mail profile" , Mail System=Database Mail, Mail profile = "the profile we already create"
4)we create a new operator at "Operators" of sql agent, where at "notification options" -> "Email name" we put the mail where we want to sent the agent the mails at failured job
5)We go at a specific job, at tab "Notifications" ,we check the "email" check box and then we choose the operator we just create, at the text box next to check box.
I hope not to forget something
Thank You all for the help

Full text search in Chinese Language not finding results

We are translating one of our Webhelp projects into
simplified chinese, and everything is working fine except full text
search. We can type chinese characters into the search box but no
results appear even though we have already translated a lot of the
webhelp into chinese. Note that we have breadcrumbs, TOC and Index
functioning correctly in chinese.
The FAQ for Robohelp claims that FTS is supported in other
languages but I am stuck - I can't figure out how to make it work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There was some language stuff in those patches that I hoped
would fix your problem, obviously not.
I am not familiar with working with languages. Have you tried
changing the language in Project Settings? Have you tried importing
a couple of topics into a new project?
Beyond that, hopefully someone with more relevant knowledge
can help you.

MFA not working on Windows Server 2012 R2

Been using MFA since PF days. Deployed it successfully many times but for some reason it's not working with Windows Auth, Terminal Services on a Win 2012 R2 DataCenter box? The machine was successfully added to my domain PhoneFactor group, I
can see and add the machine on the master MFA. Services are running but when I remote in I go right through without MFA stopping me? Any ideas?
TIA

6.3.0 has just been released and 2012 R2 is *still* not supported. What the hell?!?
"Version 6.3.0 of the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server adds the
following additional functionality:
* Added one-way SMS functionality for AD FS, RADIUS and User Portal
* Added .csv file import for OATH tokens
* Added support to parse phone numbers in E.164 format during import
From the directory
* Fixed problem preventing slave servers from performing MFA if the
master server was unavailable. This problem was found to exist in
all 6.2.x builds. All customers running 6.2.x should upgrade to 6.3.
* Fixed directory sync issue for recursive security groups
* Added additional logging to AD FS adapter
* Other minor bug fixes and security improvements
Known Issues:
* Windows Authentication for Terminal Services is still not supported for
Windows Server 2012 R2"
So they added a whole stack of other functionality, but still didn't get around to taking a look at this bug. I'm stunned. Is there any sort of timeline on fixing this, or is 2012 R2 just going to remain unsupported forever?

Distributed transaction using linked server not working in SQL Server 2008 64 bit

Hi. I have had an issue trying to get distributed transactions to work in SQL Server 2008 using a linked server. The error message I get is
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "pod1" returned message "No transaction is active.".
Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 3
The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "pod1" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
My Environment:
Windows Server 2008 Enterprise 64 bit, SQL Server 2008 Enterprise 64 bit
Problem occurs with multiple different builds of SQL Server 2008 - I have been able to reproduce the problem with 10.0.1600.0, 10.0.1779.0 (CU 2), as well as 10.0.2531 (SP1)
I am aware that other people have had this issue and have reviewed all existing posts. I have verified that the MSDTC is configured correctly on both machines. I have also used DTCTester to verify that DTC is working correctly on all machines in question.
None of the mentioned resolutions has solved this problem for me.
I am not seeing this problem occur on my 32 bit test machines - it is only occurring if at least one of the two machines is 64 bit.

Hi All,
I realise that this topic may be a little bit out-of-date but if someone gets here from some search engine trying to find a solution for DTC problems, this MAY be useful.
So... I recently had the same issue, tried all the approaches described in KB and other articles, but it didn't help. Because my task to solve this was not of the highest priority I forgot about it for some time.
Today I was troubleshooting some other issue and, by accident discovered source of that first problem:
In the EventViewer I found Error entry logged by MSDTC saying:
"The local MS DTC detected that the MS DTC on vm-server1 (other machine name that also runs DTC - my comment) has the same unique identity as the local MS DTC. This means that the two MS DTC will not be able to communicate
with each other. This problem typically occurs if one of the systems were cloned using unsupported cloning tools. MS DTC requires that the systems be cloned using supported cloning tools such as SYSPREP. Running 'msdtc -uninstall' and then 'msdtc -install'
from the command prompt will fix the problem. Note: Running 'msdtc -uninstall' will result in the system losing all MS DTC configuration information."
So I followed suggestion and run:
msdtc -uninstall
msdtc -install
This solved my problems with DTC. Hope it will help someone.
Piotr
