Is Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.

All I want to know is if Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.
I have been planning and deploying my companies first Windows Server 2012/SQL Server 2012 Always On cluster and Always On Availability Groups Multi-Subnet cluster and instances for SharePoint 2013, and I will be brutally honest, the documentation on either
the MSDN and TechNet leave alot to be desired. Continually finding links in the documentation will take me from a Windows 2012 reference to a page talking about Windows Server 2008 or R2, The differences of which there are so many when it comes to configurations,
settings, roles, services when working with SQL Server 2012. I have been confused, frustrated, screaming mad, with all the misdirection in this documentation. The documentation takes me windows 2008 R2 which is different than 2012!
Tired and trying to pick myself up off the floor!

In general, DTC is not required for SQL 2012. But, since you are asking specifically about SharePoint, it would be better to ask in a SharePoint forum. They would be more likely to know those situations where FTC might be needed by SharePoint.

Windows could not start the distributed transaction coordinator service on local computer

Dear All,
I'm having an issue starting the DTC service in windows 7 OS. I always got the error message below when im trying to start it.
"Windows could not start the distributed transaction coordinator service on local computer"
Thanks,
Melvin

Hi Melvin,
Please try the following methods to solve this issue:
Method 1: Re-create the MS DTC log, and then restart the service.
Click
Start, type cmd in the search box, and then press
Enter.
Type the command
msdtc -resetlog at the command prompt, and then press
Enter.
Warning: The msdtc -resetlog command can cause data corruption if it is used incorrectly. Make sure that you do not have any pending transactions when you run this
command.
Type the command net start msdtc, and then press
Enter.
Method 2: Set the logon account permissions for the MS DTC service
If Method 1 does not resolve the problem, set the logon account for the MS DTC service to have read and write permissions for the Msdtc.log file. Please follow the steps below:
Click
Start, type cmd in the search box, and then press
Enter.
Type the command
control admintools at the command prompt, and then press
Enter.
Double-click
Services.
In the Services pane, locate
Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
In the
Log On As column, note the account name. Note: The default logon account for the MS DTC service is the NETWORK SERVICE account.
Start Windows Explorer, and
then open the %windir%\System32\Msdtc folder.
Right-click the
Msdtc.log file, and then click Properties.
Click the
Security tab.
Click the logon account name that you noted
in step 5. For example, click the NETWORK SERVICE account name.
In the
Permissions pane, click to select the Allow check box for the following permissions: ◦Read & Execute
◦Read    ◦Write
Click
OK.
Click
Yes to accept the security warning.
In the
Services pane, right-click Distributed Transaction Coordinator, and then click
Start.
Method 3: Assign permissions to the NETWORK service to traverse the directory tree
Determine whether the NETWORK service has permissions to traverse through the folder. To do this, follow these steps.
Note: By default, the "Everyone" group has these permissions. For more information, go to the following Microsoft TechNet website:
Bypass traverse checking
Click
Start, type secpol.msc in the search box, and then press
Enter.
Browse through the following computer configuration:
        \Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment
Check for "Bypass traverse checking," and then add the "Everyone" group.
Update the Group Policy settings on the computer. To do this, click
Start, type gpupdate in the search box, and then press
Enter.
In the
Services pane, right-click Distributed Transaction Coordinator, and then click
Start.

SQL Server 2012 Installed KB2793634 and it completed successfully but display error in the event log

Hi
Running SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on Windows 7 x64 SP1
One of the machines that this is installed displayed that the Windows Installer was starting repeatedly, like every 30 secs
I installed KB2793634 and everything completed successfully. No errors in any of the Summary, Detail, etc and all check marks at the end. I went throught the event viewer and in the application log and saw the following
Product: SQL Server 2012 Database Engine Services - Update '{4023B523-7241-4B6D-83A4-92105B0A3DC8}' could not be installed. Error code 1642. Windows Installer can create logs to help troubleshoot issues with installing software packages. Use the
following link for instructions on turning on logging support:
Is this something with the KB. How do I find what the issue is and what do I do to fix it? Or is this a real error?
I brought up SQL Server and the issue that the KB resolves seems to been resolved. I can connect to the instance just fine, the version of the KB has been applied to the instance so now it is at 11.0.3128
Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
According to the description, I know the patch that was successfully installed after the msiinstaller error.
1. Per
KB304888 and mentioned the possibility that the hotfix was launched a second time after the initial successful update.
I suspect if you have installed any hotfixes or Cumulative updates after installing Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2012.
Reference:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2793634
2. Check the application log. Is the error happening intermittently?
Thanks.

Sorry about the error in the path, but you find the files that's the main thing.

suggests the issue is a corrupted user profile, and you should try to use a different service account.
This blog also seems to have a simple solution, but I cannot vouch for that it will work:

Master Data Services not available under shared feature while installing SQL server 2012

Hi,
I am trying to install Master Data Services but do not see the option to select MDS under the shared features when going through the SQL server 2012 installation. I have the SQL server 2012 SP1 (64 bit) install files. I have also installed SP2. I havent
found anything online about the issue.
Can someone please advise?
I have a screenshot of the installation screen which I will attach as soon as I am able to get my account verified. Thanks!

Hi Revees,
This might be a very naïve and also out of the original scope of the thread question.
We are thinking of going with the developer edition. We have 2/3 developers and some other testers and business users.
1) I understand that we need a developer license for each developer. But would we need a license for the business user. Can they have a sort of read access to the dbs?
2) If a developer has MSDN subscription, Would they need to purchase the license too assuming we purchase the developer edition of the software (and not download it using the MSDN subscription)?
Thanks for your assistance!

Why would you use a managed service account rather than a virtual account in SQL Server 2012?

In SQL Server 2012, service accounts are created as
virtual accounts (VAs), as described
here, as opposed to
managed service accounts (MSAs).
The important differences I can see for these, based on the descriptions:
MSAs are domain accounts, VAs are local accounts
MSAs use automagic password management handled by AD, VAs have no passwords
in a Kerberos context, MSAs register SPNs automatically, VAs do not
Are there any other differences? If Kerberos is not in use, why would a DBA ever prefer an MSA?
UPDATE:
Another user has noted a
possible contradiction in the MS docs concerning VAs:
The virtual account is auto-managed, and the virtual account can access the network
in a domain environment.
versus
Virtual accounts cannot be authenticated to a remote location. All virtual accounts
use the permission of machine account. Provision the machine account in the format
<domain_name>\<computer_name>$.
What is the "machine account"? How/when/why does it get "provisioned"? What is the difference between "accessing the network in a domain environment" and "authenticating to a remote location [in a domain environment]"?

Hi,
“Virtual accounts cannot be authenticated to a remote location. All virtual accounts use the permission of machine account. Provision the machine account in the format <domain_name>\<computer_name>$.”
“The virtual account is auto-managed, and the virtual account can access the network in a domain environment. If the default value is used for the service accounts during SQL Server setup on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7, a virtual account
using the instance name as the service name is used, in the format NT SERVICE\<SERVICENAME>”
Per the above description, they are two concepts and not conflict with each other.
As you understand, virtual account access network resources by using the credentials of the computer account. Generally, computer account will not be granted permission unless giving the computer account permission on the shared folder manually.
Thanks.

Which service pack should I install if I have SQL Server 2012 RTM version 11.0.2100.60

I read the recommendation "SQL Server 2012 RTM is no longer in mainstream support. If you wish to continue getting fixes, you should absolutely plan on migrating to the SP2 branch;" from
http://blogs.sqlsentry.com/team-posts/latest-builds-sql-server-2012/. I am not quite sure how I can migrate from RTM to SP2. Thank you in advance.
cy

Hi,
Yes RTM version of SQL Server 2012 is not supported. You have to apply SQL Server 2012 SP2 below link will help you in doing it

Where can I find the SQL Server Gateway for 816 and beyond?

All,
What CD is used to install the SQLServer Gateway?
Any info would be great. Thanks.

If you are talking about SQL Server Transparent Gateway, you
need to buy it separate and it costs around $15K.
It does not come with the standard enterprise edition.

" The job failed" in copying database SQL SERVER 2012

I'm trying to copy a database. When going through the Copy Database Wizard, I'm getting a Execute SQL Server Agent Job error. The error states " The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details". See below:
Performing operation
Add log for package (Success)
Add task for transferring database objects (Success)
Create package (Success)
Start SQL Server Agent Job (Success)
Execute SQL Server Agent Job (Error) Messages
The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details. (Copy Database Wizard)
I can't seem to find what causing this problem. Am I using the correct approach? I just need to copy this database. Thank in advance.

Hi mohammad2050,
When using Copy Database Wizard, please make sure that the SQL Server Agent account or Integration Services Proxy account is a member of sysadmin fixed server role, and has access permission on both of source and target file system.
There is a blog about using SQL Server Copy Database Wizard for your reference .

Best method to determine the week number of a month - SQL Server 2012

Hi,
I'm searching the most valid and tested method to determine the week number respect to a month.
Fe, the 1st January falls in the 1st week of January, the 1st February fall in the 1st week of February, and so on.
I've found many solutions but I'd like to know possibly the best one.
Thanks

Hi Uri,
SELECT DATEPART(week, '20150104')
   - DATEPART(week, CONVERT(CHAR(6), '20150104', 112)+'01')
   + 1
returns 2 and not 1. It's a Sunday.
Waiting to be spoonfed, eh?
The one-off in my query would be very simple to figure out - I forgot to add the +1. Is too much to expect from you that you could figure it out yourself?
And likewise, in my post I said that you should use "week" for weeks starting on Sunday, and "iso_week" if your week starts on Monday. Uri neglected to observe this, but you had the information to correct it. If you had been interested
in doing some work yourself, that is.
Nevertheless, there is an issue that I overlooked:
DECLARE @day date = '20160105'
SELECT datepart(iso_week, @day) -
   datepart(iso_week, convert(char(6), @day, 112) + '01') + 1
This returns -51. This is because with ISO week numbering, Jan 1st falls into week 53 of the previous year, if it's on a Friday or later. Week 1 is always the week of Jan 4th. When you week this does not happen, as week 1 is always the week with Jan
1st. (Dec 31st is always in week 53 or 54.)
To correct for this, we need this query:
SELECT DATEPART(iso_week, @day) -
   CASE WHEN DATEPART(iso_week, CONVERT(CHAR(6), @day, 112) + '01') < 50
THEN DATEPART(iso_week, CONVERT(CHAR(6), @day, 112) + '01')
ELSE 1
   END + 1

Some images do not display in browser, iPad Air 2. When I load a page with several jpgs (one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Website issue or iPad?

I have just bought an iPad, partly to check that my websites work OK on mobile devices. When I load a page with several jpgs (e.g. one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown. If I remove the large one, that sometimes fixes the problem. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Is this a website issue or iPad?

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I'm using a new Wordpress theme that is meant to be responsive. The large image is for a header, than you scroll down to see the rest, one by one. Some one the pages work OK on my iPad, typically the old ones where the maximum image size was 500 x 500. It's the new pages and those I've updated that are causing the problem. On the iPad the large image loads, then a couple of the small ones become visible as I scroll down, but then darkness (rather like my knowledge level).
Being new to IOS and iPads, I'm trying to work out whether I should be looking here, or amongst the Wordpress stuff for a solution.
Here's the website with its new theme: http://www.new-zealand-pictures.com/

Approver for the application role not working out

Hi,
I have created a role with type application and Approver A, then created a business role with the Approver B and included application role into the business role.
When i assign this business role to a user the only request for approval goes to Approver B and after approval the both application and business roles are assigned. Strangely it seem to skip the Approver A. I did even remove the approver in business role, leaving only approver in application role, still same result - it skips Approver A.
I'm using IDM 8.0.0.1, any ideas why it would skip the approver in the included role?
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply. I've tried optional with approval and here is what I found.
It seems I need a combination of the two. My end goal is to have a second level approval, one group would be responsible for approving the business role and the system owners would be responsible for approving the nested application roles. When a user requests the business role, they must have approvals for the business role and all of the nested application roles for their request to be completed.
If the app. roles are required, the workflow automatically incorporate the nested appl. roles in the request but does not require approval for them. If they are conditional with approval, the user would have to submit a second request to get all of the nested application roles. It looks like I need a combination of the two, required with approval.
I need it to behave like it does when you have a role with approver that includes resources with an approver. The role and resources must all be approved before the request can be completed successfully.
I'm trying to see if this is possible through the GUI before I customize the workflow.

Run Reporting services 2005 with databases housed on SQL Server 2012?

Hi, I have a RS 2005 install in which the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases reside on a different SQL Server 2005 server. I am planning to upgrade DB server to 2012 and would like to keep SSRS as 2005.As a second phase I will upgrade SSRS2005
to SSRS 2008. So I would be running something like this:
Server A: SQL 2005 Reporting Services
Server B: SQL 2012 database engine - housing ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB
Is this configuration supported?

Hello,
According to the
BOL, Report Server service checks the database version at startup. If the report server is connected to a database that is an earlier version, the report server will update the database during startup.If you have a newer report server database, you
cannot use it with an earlier version of a report server instances.
In that case, the earlier versions of SQL Server Database Engine that can be used to host the SSRS report server databases. For example, In SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, we can use either SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 to host the databases, for
SSRS 2012, we can use SQL Server 2012,2008 R2,2008,2005.
Based on my test, In the Reporting Services 2005 Configure Manager, we can create a new database on a remote SQL Server 2012 database engine and the Initialization is successful.
In this way, the databases are created from the script file which installed with the Reporting Services instance, you can find the Catalog.sql and CatalogTempDB.sql under folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportServer.
However, when upgrade the existing ReportServer database and ReportServerTempDB database on the SQL Server 2012 by restore from a backup, we cannot use this existing database for Reporting Services 2005 and get the following message:
The database version (162) does not match your reporting serivces installation.And the initialization failed.
In your case, you can host the ReportServer database and ReportServerTempDB database of SSRS 2005 on SQL Server 2012 database enginer by create a new database from Reporting Services 2005 Configure Manager. But you cannot use the existing
database which upgrade to SQL Server 2012.

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server 2012 PPIV - using a PPIV workbook as a data source - getting PPIV web service error

I created a PowerPivot (SQL Server 2012 SP1) workbook and uploaded it to SharePoint 2010 Portal and started using it as a data source in an excel file. This worked fine and we saw no issues with it until we moved to SharePoint 2013 environment.
I uploaded the same PowerPivot workbook (source workbook) to SharePoint 2013 Portal and now trying to use it as a data source. I tried to change connection properties so that I could use the new portal address for the workbook. When
I try to save my changes, I see that OLAP queries are getting fired "Refreshing OLAP cube" shows up in the status bar, but eventually after running these OLAP queries (I would say after a minute), I get the following error -
Couldn't find anything specific in SharePoint logs or maybe I wasn't looking for the right thing.
Has anyone seen this issue? Why would PPIV service throw an error after running for a while? Is it a timeout issue of some kind? How can we take care of this?
Thanks,
Sonal

ULS log showed the following exception: The maximum number of allowed sessions per user has been exceeded.
Under Excel Services global settings, max limit is set. Default is 25, increasing it resolved this issue.
Thanks,
