SQL Server Service Pack Install and SSRS Scale Out Environment

We have an error in our SSRS environment that looks to be addressed in SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3. Our set up is a scale out environment, 2 SSRS app servers and 1 SSRS database server. For simplicity as we are moving to 2012 soon, I would like to only install
the service pack on one of the SSRS app servers. Anyone aware of any reason besides keeping servers consistent to not do this? I don't want to go through the time to upgrade the SSRS SQL Server if I don't have to.
Thanks

Hello,
If you apply the service pack on the database server first, front-ends may not be able to provide service again until you
apply the SP to them too. I have no knowledge of other possible issue.
Remember to backup SSRS databases and encryption key before applying the service pack.
Hope this helps.

  • SAP List of Supported SQL Server Service Packs and Cumulative Updates

    Does SAP provide a list of SQL Server Service Packs and Cumulative Updates that will work with BPC 7.0 and 7.5? I see that CU 12 is out for SP1 and CU 2 is out for SP2. I would like to know if I can move the SP2 CU2 or SP1 CU12. My install docs are outdated specifying SP1 CU6.
    Any direction is appreciated.
    Joe

    Hi,
    Please take a look at the below list of the supported OS: This excerpt is from the installation guide.
    SP04 or later: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition with or without Hyper-V
    Windows Server 2008 Standard or Enterprise Edition with or without Hyper-V, or
    Windows Server 2008 Data Center with or without Hyper-V
    Windows Server 2003 Standard or Enterprise Edition SP2
    Windows Server 2003 Standard configured on the SQL database or OLAP server components only
    Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition SP2
    SAP recommends using Windows Server 2008 64 bit over Windows Server 2003 64 bit. Otherwise, supportability is limited.
    I am not sure what did you mean by the front end. Having said that, 32 bit is supported both on the server and the client machines.
    Hope this helps.

  • Steps involved in Uninstalling SQL Server service packs

    Hi,
    Came to know that we can uninstall sql server service packs from SQL 2008 SP1 onwards.
    Question is, for suppose i have installed SQL 2008 SP3 and found problem. Now I want to uninstall SP3, what are the steps involved to uninstall a service pack? Can we also uninstall QFE, Cummulative updates and hotfix's as well?
    How does sql server does the rollback or uninstall of service pack behind the scenes?
    Appreciate your help.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    @Cheer08: When SP1 CU3 and SP1 CU4 were released we found that some SQL Server users had issues with SSIS and SSRS, when these CUs were
    uninstalled we found the issues continue, and we were back to normal when we reapplied SP1 or SP1 CU2.
    @Samantha: About the Resource DB, it certainly plays a factor on applying updates and upgrading process, which is explained
    here. About how it is used to allow rollback of updates
    in SQL Server, the Resource DB seems to be used to copy back the objects and semantics to system databases as explained in the following article.
    http://extremeexperts.com/sql/yukon/resourcedatabase.aspx
    @Samantha: no official documents to my knowledge, I just have a real world experience on this as I mentioned to @Cheer08.
    Hope this helps.

  • Need SQL Server service packs installation procedure

    Hey Guys,
    I am in the process of installing service packs to my SQL Server 2008 and R2 editions, I was searching for the installation procedure in technet for this but nothing was provided for this, I tried to read the
    "readme" and setup documentation provided in the SP 4 download page but its useless since its redirecting again to some other page which again points to same download page, It makes me wonder if there are any procedures provided by Microsoft for
    this. Let me know if anyone has it. I don't want to follow any third party websites/ individual bloggers providing best practices/installation procedures. 
    My Environment: SQL SERVER 2008/ R2  (STANDARD)  and these are standalone
    machines.
    OS: Windows server 2008 R2 STANDARD
    With regards,
    Gopinath.
    With regards, Gopinath.

    Copy the patch files to the server
    Run the patch file and follow the on-screen instructions
    Select the instances that you wish to patch
    Allow the patch to finish
    Reboot if a reboot is required (the patch will tell you if there were any locked files)

  • Error with DQS after Installing SQL Server Service Pack 2

    When I open the DQS client, I get this error message:
    Message Id: VerificationFrameworkVersionNotCompatible
    A new version of .NET or Data Quality Services was installed on this machine. In order to continue to work with DQS please run 'DqsInstaller.exe -upgrade'.
    However, when I run DQSInstaller.exe, I get this message:
    DQS Installer has detected a previous DQS installation under this SQL server instance.  Running DQS installer will remove the previous installation, together with all the knowledge stored in it.
    Will I lose all my knowledge bases?  Is there an upgrade path?

    Hi Adolfo Socorro,
    According to your description, when you install SQL Server 2012 Service Pack2, the error of
    Data Quality Services (DQS) will occur. The cause is that Product Updates will not update the schema of the DQS catalogs, any related MDS catalogs, and the SQL CLR assemblies kept the DQS catalogs. Therefore, extra steps may be required
    if the DQS catalog schema needs to be upgraded, or the DQS CLR assemblies have been upgraded by the product update.
    If you have previously run the DQSInstaller.exe to build the DQS_MAIN, DQS_PROJECTS, and DQS_Staging_Data catalogs in one or more of the updated instances, you
    may need to continue to do the necessary upgrade steps to upgrade the database schemas, such as launch CMD as Administrator
    cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.InstanceName\MSSQL\Binn" DQSInstaller.exe –upgrade
    There is an article about upgrading DQS, you can review the following article.

  • SQL Server Service Packs (2008, 2008R2, 2012)

    Hi all,
    it appears that no one took care of installing Service Packs for our SQL Servers from WSUS and now i have to do it. What i have:
    MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
    MS SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1,2,3
    MS SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1,2
    As you could see some of them a really old.
    1. The fact that everything is running so far without any problems and complains bring the question: Do I have to install Service Packs?
    2. Is it ok if I go directly to the latest Service Pack for each Server or i have to go the "entire road" installing one after another.
    3. What is the best way to do the updates: Install all other security and critical updates, restart the server, then install the service pack and restart again the server. 
    Actually my knowledge for SQL Server and Updates for it are not so big that's why i want to apologies for the stupid questions. Thanks in advance

    1. The fact that everything is running so far without any problems and complains bring the question: Do I have to install Service Packs?
    Hi,
    Yes very much recommended if your SQL server 2008 is not at SP/Sp4 it would not come under extended support purview. If you have 2008 r2  not with SP3 again you are out of extended support.  For 2012 as well apply Sp2 .Mainstarem support for 2008/2008
    R2 has already ended
    2. Is it ok if I go directly to the latest Service Pack for each Server or i have to go the "entire road" installing one after another.
    Hi,
    Yes you can directly upgrade to SQL
    Server 2008 SP4 because SP are cumulative and latest SP will include all fixes present in one released before it . As a fact you can always apply latest SP for any SQL server version for fact that it is cumulative. Dont go for SP3 go for SP4 in 2008 and
    SP3 for 2008 r2
    3. What is the best way to do the updates: Install all other security and critical updates, restart the server, then install the service pack and restart again the server.
    Best way can be referred from below docs
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638062%28v=sql.100%29.aspx
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/25632.how-to-install-sql-server-2012-sp2-on-standalone-sql-server-instance.aspx
    Just above doc is for 2012 but will hold true for 2008 as well. SP might require restart of Windows machine on which SQL Server resides.

  • MSCS SQL Server Service Pack Installation

    Dear All,
    We are using Microsoft Cluster and i completed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Installation on Cluster.
    Now when i am trying to Install Service Pack 2 of SQL Server i can't get success when both node are running.
    But when i swhiched off Node 2 and did installation on Node 1 i get success.
    But after finishing Installation on Service Pack 2 i can't get that service pack on Node 2.
    Here i want to confirm that i have to do installation of Service Pack 2 on both node ?
    Regards,
    Nikunj Thaker.

    Hi,
    Have you run the SQL 2K5 SP2 upgrade on the other node. What happens is that you upgrade the SQL Server binaries on the Clustered instances but not the local files.
    If you run SP2 on the "Passive" node it will upgrade server compoments that are not cluster aware (like SSIS). I normally upgrade the Client Components first on the passive node, reboot and then upgrade all components on the active node afterwards.
    On a standalone machine - all components are upgraded at the same time - both per instance and the server components so you won't have that issue.

  • Windows 2000 Advanced Server Service Pack 2 and Oracle 8.1

    Hy,
    I've got Oracle 8.1.6 instaled over an Windows 2000 Advanced Server user as a web server. Yesterday I updated it with the service pack 2 for windows 2000.
    When I restarted the server after the install, the Oracle database services didn't start. They stay "Starting" but didn't finish to start. I tried to start them again but they were locked. I couldn't stop/restart them.
    I had to uninstall the SP2. Then it works OK.
    Is there any known problem with Oracle 8.1.6 and the SP2?
    Thanks

    When Oracle installs itself, it usually replaces one or more Windows system files with its own versions. Your SP2 installation probably replaced those files with originals and Oracle got confused.
    The only solution I can think of is to install all the necessary SPs first and then Oracle (when possible).

  • SQL Server Service Pack Support

    An existing customer running PO 2.3.4 in production would like to upgrade their database servers from the base SQL Server 2008 R2 installation to either SP1 or SP2.  Since these are not explicitly called out as supported in the product documentation, the customer would like to confirm that by applying a service pack they will not be considered to be running an unsupported configuration.
    This is a SP customer running orchestration developed as part of a custom AS engagement, so they are not running out-of-the-box IAC content.  So the question is being posed from a PO product support standpoint.
    Thanks for any information you can provide.

    The specific answer for you is yes it is supported. The general answer for MSSQL DB support is that we only document to the R level (MSSQL 2008 or MSSQL 2008 R2) in the compatibility matrix and service packs are supported but not necessarily tested as they come out.

  • SQL Server Service won't start on SQL Server 2008

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having trouble starting SQL Server service after stopping and starting the service. Before this happened, I created a Stored Procedure for marking all tables at once along with a maintenance plan for differential backup on all my databases based on the
    recommendation from this link, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms253070.aspx.
    When I realized that the differential backup failed with some databases displaying (Restoring...) post-fix to the database name, I decided to stop SQL Server service and start it up. That is when I won't be able to start the service again.
    Is there a fix for starting the SQL Server service? Any help is very much appreciated.
    Additional information:
    - With administrator permission granted.
    - Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2008 installed.
    - Using default database instance.
    - Tried C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.....\Binn>net start MSSQLSERVER /T3608 ( return msg: System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied.
    - When I start SQL Server service, I keep getting this dialog msg:
    "Windowns could not start the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1814."
    The event log does not explain or provide any hint on how to fix the problem.

    Rebuilding the system databases you will lose lose logins, jobs, SSIS packages. You may have to restore or attach user databases.

  • SharePoint 2010 - SQL Server Service Application Server Appears on Server without SSRS Installed

    I have SSRS instance installed on Server 2 in integrated mode and reports within SharePoint are working as expected.  But, when you go to manage the SQL Server Service Application it throws an 503 error and I believe it is related to the fact that the
    service also shows up on another Application Server, Server1, that does not have SSRS installed.  The service is disabled and it shows up in the list of Services for the server but I believe SharePoint thinks its the primary service and cannot access
    it.  Is there any way to remove the Service from Server2?  I attempted the below powershell commands to remove but it gives me an error.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    You're getting a Service Instance object and trying to remove it with a Service Application cmdlet... This won't quite work :)  Can you double check to validate that SSRS 2008 R2 or higher bits were not accidentally laid down on the problem host?

  • Stopping sql server services while applying Service pack On SQL server 2008 and 2008 R2

    Hi,
    I am planning to apply service pack 3 for SQL 2008 R2 and Service pack 4 for SQL server 2008. This is my first time and I am applying first QA and DEV environment. I have one confusion. In cluster once you fail over sql resources to active node all of the
    sql services including SQLSERVER and Agent are automatically stopped in passive node where we apply service pack. But in Stand alone, The services are not automatically stopped. Do I need to manually  stop those services like SQLSERVER, Agent, Browser
    and others if any  before I start applying service pack?
    Early Response is highly appreciated.
    Thanks In Advance

    Hello,
    You don’t need to stop SQL Server services. Let SQL Server setup do it as needed.
    Please read the following article for the cluster you would like to update:
