The lease timeout between avaiability group and the Windows Server Failover Cluster has expired

Hi,
I am having some issues where I get a lease timeout from time to time.  I have a Windows 2012 Failover Cluster with 2 nodes and 2 SQL 2012 Always-on Availability Groups.  Both nodes
are a physical machines and each node is the primary for an AG. 
From what I understand if
the HealhCheckTimeout
is exceeded without the signal exchange the lease is declared 'expired' and the SQL Server resource dll reports that the SQL Server availability group no longer 'looks alive' to the Windows cluster manager.  Here are the properties I have setup
which are the default settings:
LeaseTimeout - 20000
HealthCheckTimeout - 30000
VerboseLoging - 0>
FailureConditionLevel – 3
Here are the events that occur in the Application Event Viewer:
Event ID 19407:
The lease between availability group 'AG_NAME' and the Windows Server Failover Cluster has expired. A connectivity issue occurred between the instance of SQL Server and the Windows Server Failover
Cluster. To determine whether the availability group is failing over correctly, check the corresponding availability group resource in the Windows Server Failover Cluster.
Event ID 35285:
The recovery LSN (120881:37533:1) was identified for the database with ID 32. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
SQl server logs are too long to post in this box but I can send them if you request.
The AG is setup to failover automatically but it did not failover.  I am trying to figure out why the lease timed out.  Thanks.

From what I've been able to find out, this is due to an issue with the procedure sp_server_diagnostics.  It sounds like the cluster is expecting this procedure to regularly log good status "Clean" in the log files, but the procedure is designed not
to flood the logs with "Clean" messages, so only reports changes, and does not make an entry when the last status was "Clean" and the current status is "Clean".  The result is that the cluster looks to be unresponsive.  However, once it initiates
the failover, the primary machine responds, since it was never really down, and the failover operation stops.   
The end result is that there really never is a failover, but the database becomes unavailable for  a few minutes while this is resolved.
I'm going to try setting the cluster's failure condition level to 2 (instead of 3) and see if that prevents the down time.

  • How to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster) with scrpiting

    I have a scenario with the three nodes with server 2012 standard, each running an instance of SQL Server 2012 enterprise, participate in a
    single Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) that spans two data centers.
    If the nodes in the primary data center are unavailable due to data center outage. Then how I can able to access node in the WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster) in the secondary disaster recovery data center automatically with some script.
    I want to write script that can be able to check primary data center by pinging some IP after every 5 or 10 minutes.
    If that IP is unable to respond then script can be able to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)
    Can you please guide me for script writing for automatic failover in case of primary datacenter outage?

    You are trying to implement manually what should be happening automatically in the cluster. If the primary SQL Server becomes unavailable in the data center, it should fail over to the secondary SQL Server automatically.  Is that not working?
    You also might want to run this configuration by some SQL experts.  I am not a SQL expert, but if you have both hosts in the data center in a cluster, there is no need for replication between those two nodes as they would be accessing
    the database from some form of shared storage.  Then it looks like you are trying to implement Always On to the DR site.  I'm not sure you can mix both types of failover in a single configuration.
    FYI, it would make more sense to establish a file share witness in your DR site instead of placing a third node in the data center for Node Majority quorum.

    please post you question on failover clusters in the cluster forum.  THey will explain how this works and point you at scipts.
    You should also look in the Gallery for cluster management scripts.

    +1 to David's comment. I would not suggest to run a script automatically. During such failover you might have data loss and decision has to be made with business owners during disaster.
    During such situation, you need to start cluster service in force quorum mode (/fq switch) and then perform manual failover of AG to DR site.

    Hi Jithendar,
    For your issue, you can retrieve the SQL Server Evaluation Period Expiry Date to varify which server SSRS has been expired:
    SELECT
    create_date AS 'SQL Server Install Date',
    DATEADD(DD, 180, create_date) AS 'SQL Server Expiry Date'
    FROM sys.server_principals
    WHERE name = 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'

  • Sharepoint foundation 2013 "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed"

    Hi Sir/Madam,
    I try to connect the sharepoint foundation 2013 server by remote desktop recently using domain account, but it show the error message that mentioned in the subject. I can login the server using local account. Do I need to disjoin
    the domain then rejoin the domain? Will there be any risk if I do this? 
    My SharePoint environment as below:
    Primary domain : abc.local (DC : windows server 2012 standard R2)
    SharePoint : SharePoint foundation 2013 and SQL Standard 2012 installed on a single windows server 2012 standard (not R2, joined domain "abc.local)
    I tried this on DC > active directory user and compouter >right click Sharepoint pc > click reset > reboot sharepoint server, reboot sharepoint server but still cannot login using AD account
    I also tried netdom command and powershell command "Reset -ComputerMachinePassword" also failed to reset the password.
    Please help to resolve my problem. Thanks
    Jeffrey

    Go to Control Panel -> System -> under Computer Name, Domain, click Change Settings. Click on the Change button, then re-type the domain in the NetBIOS or FQDN format, which ever it is currently not set to. This will force a soft-join to the domain.

  • Data Transfer between AS400(Linux) and Oracle(Windows Server)

    Hi,
    We have AS400 system which resides on Linux architecture.
    We want to transfer millions of records from AS400 to Oracle which resides on Windows server.
    We think to build Odbc connection on windows machine and accessing to AS400 data from this connection.
    But I am not sure the performance of this approach.
    I would be glad if you share your experiences.
    Regards & Thanks

    Hi,
    ODBC is generally pretty slow in my experience - your alternatives are probably one of the following
    1) use odbc maybe with heterogeneous services on top (this allows you to have a database link directly from oracle to db2)
    2) use a transparent gateway - similar to 1) but has more functionality and will have a licence cost
    3) write some c/java program to do it
    4) dump the data to a flat file, transfer to windows, sqlldr that file in
    It all comes down to how good the performance needs to be (ODBC may be good enough) and how much effort needs to be put i to other approaches.
    I suggest you just give odbc a try, if it looks like its not up to the job then consider alternatives. In the past we've used option 4 for this kind of thing but it is very dependent on the environment you are running in (amount/type of data, speed of network etc).

    Hi,
    As you mentioned there are 2 status can be maintained for documents like Equipment Master, Notification, Maintenance Order & other important business documents.
    In case, client feels that system status is not enough to capture the details of the object, then user status can be used.
    System statuses will be updated automatically based on business transactions which will be done on SAP.
    For example, once the equipment is created, System status would CRTD (Created). If you install the same to some superior equipment or FL, then status would be INST (Installed).
    If you keeping that equipment in Spare, then for that, you have to maintain separate User Status like AVLB (Available in Stock / Spare) so that through IH08, by using User status, you can the report which is available as spare.
    These user status as per the name, should be updated by the user manually.

  • Difference in the MM functionalities between 4.6C and ECC 6.0.

    Hi gurus,
    What is the difference in the MM functionalities between 4.6C and ECC 6.0.
    I already went through several links, which was moslty related with technical aspects.
    But I need functionalitywise.
    (Note: In ECC 6.0 using MIGO, transfer posting can be done. Apart from that is there any other functionality change)
    It will be of great help if u provide....
    cheers,
    vimal

    Hello
    Following are the basic differences as far as MM Module is concerned;
    Pickup list - Batch where-used list display in transaction MB56
    u2022 Until release 4.7, the top-down and bottom-up analyses in the function pickup list for batch where-used list (transaction MB5C) were displayed only in the form of simple output lists. As of release 6.00 of SAP ERP Central Component, the function pickup list for batch where-used list branches to the batch where-used list itself (transaction MB56).
    u2022 In addition, user can define how the data in the batch where-used list is displayed, in the initial screen.
    u2022 User can use all the settings available in the batch where-used list. For example, he can expand transfer posting or display vendor batch. However, it is not possible to limit the selection to valid plants in the initial screen of the pickup list.
    Usability enhancements for transaction MIGO for the posting of goods movements
    u2022 For goods movements that refer to purchase orders as reference documents (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, subsequent adjustment), user can specify the ordering plant as an additional selection criterion directly next to the purchase order number and the item number.
    u2022 There is a new default value: "copy account assignment fields." When entering other goods receipts, user can copy existing account assignment data from the previous item to use as the default values for a new item. To do this, user has to set the copy account assignment fields indicator in the default values.
    u2022 User changes the default values in the menu path "Settings -> Default Values."
    u2022 Goods movement is monitored with reference to a material document. When you enter the following goods movements, it is possible to specify a material document, such as the following, as the reference document:
    Goods receipt
    Goods issue
    Transfer posting
    Remove from storage
    u2022 Note that these material documents must be documents that have arisen from a goods movement without reference ("Others") and that are not reversal documents.
    New report : display list of invoice documents (MIR5)
    u2022 Logistics invoice verification offers a new report display list of invoice documents (RMMR1MDI), w hich user can use to display such a list (Transaction is MIR5).
    u2022 As an addition to the existing program invoice overview (transaction code MIR6), user have extended selection criteria and display options. For example, on the initial screen user can make selections by one-time customers, invoice gross amount, and entry date.
    u2022 User can also show an expert mode, which enables him to select at plant level by FI document, GL A/c posting, and Material Posting.
    u2022 In the output list, the report shows both posted and held invoices.
    u2022 It does not show invoices without a corresponding FI document; such as invoices planned for verification in the background or which the software has already verified as containing errors.
    Requirement prioritizations in materials management
    u2022 With Requirement Prioritization functionality user can assign requirement urgency at item level in purchasing and reservation documents.
    u2022 The software determines the relevant requirement priority (overall priority) of a material requisition from the combination of requirement urgency group and organizational priority.
    Mass maintenance of outline agreements
    The following two transactions available:
    u2022 Mass maintenance for contracts: transaction code MEMASSCONTRACT
    u2022 Mass maintenance for scheduling agreements: transaction code MEMASSSA
    Commitment plan for purchase contracts
    u2022 With the function of the commitment plan for purchase contracts, it is possible to pre plan value consumption for a purchase contract.
    u2022 To this end, a commitment plan is generated for each document item of the relevant contract.
    u2022 This commitment plan itself can have any number of items.
    u2022 User can define a value and a validity date for each commitment plan item.
    u2022 This enables user to pre plan different values for different periods of time.
    u2022 The software generates an earmarked fund document for a defined commitment plan item.
    u2022 This earmarked funds document can in turn contain several different items with different account assignments.
    u2022 The software adopts these account assignments from the item account assignments of the commitment plan.
    u2022 If a purchase requisition or purchase order references this contract, the earmarked funds document is copied into the purchase order, and the account assignment is adopted from that document.
    u2022 Account assignment to a different account assignment object is then no longer allowed.
    Availability check in "Enjoy purchase order and requisition"
    u2022 Display and checking of availability are invokable separately in the "Enjoy purchase order and requisition" function, in line with the software behavior on the sales side.
    u2022 User invoke the display and checking of availability in the "Enjoy purchase order" function (transaction code ME21N) and the "Enjoy purchase requisition" function (transaction code ME51N) as follows:
    To display the availability overview, choose the menu path "Environment -> Availability." - To check availability, choose the "Check Availability" icon.
    Until this release, if user carried out the availability check for an item of a stock transport order, the software adopted confirmations as per the desired date/time only.
    u2022 Two settings are possible with availability check:
    Confirmation as per desired date/time (this is the standard setting and corresponds to previous software behavior)
    Delivery proposal - Full confirmation
    External services: putting service items in the purchase order on hold (changed)
    User can put purchase orders with service items on hold if these items do not contain any errors. Purchase orders with service items can also be put on hold if errors occur only at header level or as a result of the availability check.
    Customizing transactions OX18 replaced by view
    The assigned customizing transactions have been replaced by the following view in the following implementation guide activity in customizing for the enterprise structure: Assign plant to company code: transaction OX18 replaced by view V_T001K_Assign. One will find this activity in the implementation guide under the menu path "Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Logistics General -> Assign Plant to Company Code."
    Goods receipt: new movement types in inventory management
    The following new movement types are available in inventory management:
    107: Goods receipt to valuated goods receipt blocked stock
    109: Goods receipt from valuated goods receipt blocked stock
    Prepayment of invoices
    This functionality is characterized as follows:
    u2022 User can trigger prepayment of vendor invoices in logistics invoice verification.
    u2022 User use the prepayment function for vendors with whom organisation has a good, long-standing relationship.
    u2022 The function enables payment soon after issue of the invoice and full exploitation of the date of required payment and existing cash discounts, by posting the vendor liabilities, taxes, and cash discounts in financial accounting in advance.
    u2022 The software executes the payment of the invoice regardless of the relevant goods receipt and the outcome of the invoice verification check.
    u2022 Most logistics invoice verification standard functions are not affected by the prepayment function.
    u2022 When the software posts invoices, it continues to execute the standard checks.
    u2022 If the software has already posted the prepayment document, user can make only restricted changes to the header fields of the invoice.
    u2022 To ensure adequate and orderly financial accounting postings, a prepayment clearing account has been added to SAP ERP Central Component.
    u2022 Upon prepayment, the software debits this account and then settles the account again after executing the check.
    Purchasing accounting information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse
    u2022 With the transfer of the purchasing account information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse component (whose functionality is now part of SAP Net Weaver), it is now possible to maintain Info Cubes, reports, and queries that can determine how and where the costs from purchasing documents have been assigned and controlled.
    u2022 As part of the software, a new data source (2LIS_02_ACC) has been created and the purchasing extraction process extended to cover the account information for purchasing orders, schedule agreements, and contracts.
    Automatic settlement of planned delivery costs with evaluated receipt settlement (MRDC)
    u2022 A new report (RMMR1MDC), available within the logistics invoice verification, can be used to automatically settle planned delivery costs.
    u2022 To invoke the report, from the SAP easy access screen, choose the menu path "Logistics -> Materials Management -> Logistics Invoice Verification -> Automatic Settlement -> Automatic Delivery Cost Settlement" (transaction code MRDC).
    u2022 Functionality for report RMMR1MRS is enhanced.
    u2022 User can use the report RMMR1MRS, "Evaluated receipt settlement with logistics invoice verification (LIV)" (transaction code MRRL), to settle planned delivery costs in addition to goods and service items within logistics invoice verification.
    u2022 To do so, set the relevant indicator on the initial screen of the report.
    Parking service items
    It is now possible to put service orders without errors or with commitment errors on hold.
    Report MB5B : Stock on Posting Date
    u2022 This Report is available with "Non-Hierarchy" display option which provides details of Opening, Receipt, Issue and Closing balances of Stock with quantity and value both for a given period.
    u2022 This functionality is not available in Release 4.7.
    Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations
    u2022 Function of stock transport orders between storage locations is available from ECC 6.0 onwards.
    u2022 As a result of which user can input issuing storage location with supplying plant.
    u2022 Facility of using different delivery types for different issuing storage locations is available.
    u2022 Shipping Point data can also be determined based on the issuing storage location.

  • What is the basic difference between Hyperion Planning and HFM

    Hi GURU'S,
    what is the basic difference between Hyperion Planning and HFM and when do we choose them.

    On a high level the difference is this:
    1. HFM is best for global collection (collecting data from scattered entities), group consolidation and for easily structuring financial reporting (mainly consisting of financial data)
    2. Planning is best for modeling your business, starting from a demand forecast and arriving to capacity planning and finally to financial statements, by utilizing business drivers (non-financial data like volumes, prices, productivity rates etc)
    Of course, differences may be analyzed at several levels down to technical, but the discussion may turn out to be too long, yet adding little value to the question: "when do we choose the one over the other". Bear in mind that your requirements may turn out that you need both.

  • Wat is the exact differences between clustered table and pooled table

    hi,
       can you tell me ravi...wat is the exact differences between clustered table and pooled table
    with regards//
    anilreddyg

    Hi Anil Reddy
    Pooled Tables, Table Pools, Cluster Tables, and Table Clusters
    These types of tables are not transparent in the sense that they are not legible or manageable directly using the underlying database system tools. They are managed from within the R/3 environment from the ABAP dictionary and also at runtime when they are loaded into application memory.Pool and cluster tables are logical tables. Physically, these logical tables are arranged as records of transparent tables. The pool and cluster tables are grouped together in other tables, which are of the transparent type. The tables that group together pool tables are known as table pools, or just pools; similarly, table clusters, or just
    clusters, are the tables which group cluster tables.Not all operations that can be performed over transparent tables can be executed over pool or cluster tables.
    For instance, you can manage these tables using Open SQL calls from ABAP, but not Native SQL.These tables are meant to be buffered and loaded in memory, because they are commonly used for storing internal control information and other types of data with no external (business) relevance. SAP recommends that tables of pool or cluster type be used exclusively for control information such as
    program parameters, documentation, and so on. Transaction and application data should be stored in transparent tables.
    Table Pools
    From the point of view of the underlying DBMS as from the point of view of the ABAP dictionary, a table pool is a transparent table containing a group of pooled tables which, when created, were assigned to this table pool.
    Field Type Description
    TABNAME CHAR(10) Table name
    VARKEY CHAR(n) Maximum key length n =< 110
    DATALN INT2(5) Length of the VARDATA record returned
    VARDATA RAW(m) Maximum length of the data varies according to DBMS
    Table Clusters
    Similarly to pooled tables, cluster tables are logical tables which, when created, are assigned to a table cluster. Therefore, a table cluster, or just cluster, groups together several tables of type clusters.Several logical rows from different cluster tables are brought together in a single physical record. The records
    from the cluster tables assigned to a cluster are thus stored in a single common table in the database.A cluster contains a transparent cluster key which must be located at the start of the key of all logical cluster tables to be included in the cluster. As well, a cluster contains a long field (VARDATA), which contains the
    data of the cluster tables for this key. If the data does not fit into a field, continuation records are created.
    Field Type Description
    CLKEY1 CHAR(*) First key fields
    CLKEY2 CHAR(*) Second key field
    CLKEYN CHAR(*) nth key field
    PAGENO INT2(5) Number of the next page
    TIMESTMP CHAR(14) Time stamp
    PAGELG INT2(5) Length of the VARDATA record returned
    VARDATA RAW(*) Maximum length of the data section; varies according to database system
    Working with Tables
    The dictionary includes many functions for working with tables. There are five basic operations you can perform on tables: display, create, delete, modify, copy. Please do not confuse displaying a table with displaying the table entries (table contents). In order to display a table, it must previously exist; otherwise the system will display an error message in the status bar. For the following example, the table TABNA is used. To display this table, from the main dictionary screen, enter the table name in the Object name
    input field with the radio button selected next to Tables. Then, click on the Display button at the bottom of the screen, or press the F7 function key, or, alternatively,
    select Dictionary object Display from the menu.
    In this screen, you can see table information such as
    ¨ Table type, shown next to the name of the object. In the example, it is a transparent table.
    ¨ Short text description.
    ¨ Name of the user who made the last change, and the date of the change.
    ¨ Master language.
    ¨ Table status. On the screen, you can see this table is saved and active.
    ¨ Development class. For information on development classes, refer to Chap. 6.
    Delivery class, which sets the maintenance group for the table. It controls how tables will behave during client copy procedures, upgrades, and so forth.¨
    Tab. Maint. Allowed flag, which indicates whether you can generate a screen for maintaining table entries.
    ¨Then, on the lower part of the screen, you can see the table fields with all associated characteristics such as:
    ¨ Field name.
    ¨ Key indicator. When set, this field is the primary key, or part of it.
    ¨ Data element.
    ¨ Basic data type.
    ¨ Length.
    ¨ Check table.
    ¨ Short text, describing the field.
    Additional information about the table can be displayed by selecting the corresponding functions from the menu or directly from the application toolbar, such as keys, indexes, or technical settings
    Standard table:
    The key access to a standard table uses a sequential search. The time required for an access is linearly dependent on the number of entries in the internal table.
    You should usually access a standard table with index operations.
    Sorted table:
    The table is always stored internally sorted by its key. Key access to a sorted table can therefore use a binary search. If the key is not unique, the entry with the lowest index is accessed. The time required for an access is logarithmically dependent on the number of entries in the internal table.
    Index accesses to sorted tables are also allowed. You should usually access a sorted table using its key.
    Hash table:
    The table is internally managed with a hash procedure. All the entries must have a unique key. The time required for a key access is constant, that is it does not depend on the number of entries in the internal table.
    You cannot access a hash table with an index. Accesses must use generic key operations (SORT, LOOP, etc.).
    Index table:
    The table can be a standard table or a sorted table.
    Index access is allowed to such an index table. Index tables can be used to define the type of generic parameters of a FORM (subroutine) or a function module.
