Why no native restore database task in SSIS Toolbox

Hi,
I'm a little confused as to why there is no "Restore Database Task" in the SSIS Toolbox when editing a package in BIDS/SSDT?
We are provided with a native "Back Up Database Task" but no corresponding restore component. Searching the web shows that most developers are using "Execute T-SQL Task" to restore a database, which is fine.
But why have half the a solution to the backup/restore activity in the toolbox?
Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary,
this is a user forum, not Microsoft SQL Server/SSIS developer's team forum or so.
If you have a suggestion then file it under the suggestions area of
MS Connect.
In my view having the restore via Execute SQL Task suffices.

Cannot see my custom task in SSIS toolbox

I followed the guide here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms403361.aspx to build a custom task without a UI. It is a very simple task to compress a set of files. I built the dll without error then add it to gac and copy to C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SQL Server\110\DTS\Tasks then restart VS 2012 and load up my ETL but I dont see my new custom task in the SSIS toolbox.
On my server i have both C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS and C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS which I found a bit weird but even if i put by dll in both folders I still dont see my task.
Hope anyone can help.
BTW, if I have msdn subscription, how can I get support from MS ?

Answering my own question : custom task class was not declared public :D

Why no native Task Manager

I'm sure others have wondered about this but I'm quite curious why the iPhone has no native task manager. I was just looking at the Blackberry Torch and realized it natively syncs both tasks and notes.
Now, I use Mobileme and it sync's automatically. In fact, it sync's my iMac's calendar and tasks to the Macbook Pro. So if there were a native iPhone task manager, I would see no reason why Mobileme wouldn't update the iPhone.
As it stands, I use Missing Sync for the iPhone to sync tasks and notes. Its a good app and syncs using my wifi. However, this is a two step process. Mobileme is keeping things up to date automatically however I have to remember to sync my tasks and notes to my iPhone. Its kind of just a bit of an annoyance.

Apple, like most companies, typically do not announce why they have made the decisions that they have made.

Backup Database Task - User Permissions

Hi
I am currently implementing an SSIS package to cater for the backup of our database system. I am using a Back Up Database Task connecting to the database using SQL Authentication. This login has public server rights and db_backupoperator database
role rights.
Having tested the package, it seems to fail on the backup task because of the following error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "BACKUP DATABASE [CAAP] TO DISK = N'R:\CAAP_Backup..." failed with the following error: "Only users who are members of the following roles can perform this operation: sysadmin fixed server
role; dbowner or dbcreator fixed database role in the current database.
Only users who are members of the following roles can perform this operation: sysadmin fixed server role; dbowner or dbcreator fixed database role in the current database.
Why does it need dbOwner/dbCreator/sysadmin rights to execute a simple backup? Isn't this the point of the dbBackupOperator role?
Thanks.

Hi divvyboy,
I am unable to reproduce the issue in my test environment. The backup script works well in an Execute SQL Task which uses the ADO .NET Connection Manager created by a Back Up Database Task using SQL Server authentication type. Only the Public and db_backupoperator
database roles is okay.
According to the screenshots, the error was thrown by the Execute SQL Task actually. Since the package also contains a Back Up Database Task, there is no need to perform the backup operation from the Execute SQL Task. You can test whether the Back Up Database
Task which doesn’t need us to input a backup script can perform the database backup correctly. If the Back Up Database Task works well, you can remove the Execute SQL Task and go with the Back Up Database Task.

Cause
Some of the files specified for restore could not be found. Message 6023, 6024, or 6025 is also issued to indicate which files could not be found. Some common reasons why a file can not be restored are that there is no backup or copy of the file that is known to recovery manager, or there are no backups or copies that fall within the criteria specified on the RESTORE command, or some datafile copies have been made but not cataloged.
Action
The Recovery Manager LIST command can be used to display the backups and copies that Recovery Manager knows about. Select the files to be restored from that list.

Error while restoring database with different name on subscriber

Hi all,
I am using merge replication in sql server 2008R2. Yesterday I wanted to create a test environment, so
I did:
1. on publisher I restored from backup production db with another name ( lets call it TEST and new files
.mdf, .ldf and no switch KEEP_REPLICATION). After this step original replication between production
dbs worked fine.
2. on subscriber I did the same: restore as new db TEST with new
files .mdf, .ldf and no switch KEEP_REPLICATION.
Unfortunately I noticed, that after second step replication stopped. SQL agent replication job on Subscriber
is gone.
Why restoring db with new name did affect original replication?
Finally the most important: replication was set up by external company and I have to bring it to live now
but I don't know this subject so good. How can I do it?
Assuming, that there is no data change on subscriber in replicated tables is it enough when I select ‘reinitialize’
on Publisher and Subscriber?
Thanks in advance
Artur

Hello,
Sorry for late response, but I was out of the office during last week.
Regarding problem 1: restoring replication. I contacted guy who made originally our replication and he recreated subscription agent. So this is solved.
problem 2: why did it happen?
Lydia, in link which you provided I found only info about restoring db in replication, but I didn't want to restore replication.
I checked SQL Server and Server Agent logs and there were no entries on that time. The only entries are regarding db restoring. Below:
09/11/2014 12:45:59,Backup,Unknown,Database was restored: Database: Logik_ATData_TEST<c/> creation date(time): 2012/04/27(13:55:41)<c/> first LSN: 21392:66:267<c/> last LSN: 21392:227:1<c/> number of dump devices: 1<c/> device information: (FILE=1<c/> TYPE=DISK: {'D:\MSSQLBackup\Dzienny\Logik_ATData_PROD\Logik_ATData_PROD_backup_2014_09_10_231001_6391536.bak'}).

09/11/2014 12:44:51,spid72,Unknown,Starting up database 'Logik_ATData_TEST'.
In Windows application log there were also no other entries, besides these above.
I also could not check job history, because the job was gone in SSMS jobs list, while the subscription was present in SSMS Replication with info, that last successful synchronization was at 12:42 (there is a 5 min. sync period).
I also don't understand how the job was deleted, because according this manual (http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1803/auto-alert-for-sql-agent-jobs-when-they-are-enabled-or-disabled/) I have 2 triggers in sysjobs table and every time, when
job is deleted/disabled I got @ notification. In this case I got no @.
My SQL Server version:
Product_Version Product_Level Edition
10.50.2550.0 SP1 Standard Edition (64-bit)
Any idea what happened?
Thanks,
Artur

Restore Database to non-ASM Storage - Issue with Bigfile Tablespace

I have been testing a restore of my prod database that uses ASM (and oracle managed files) for storage to a different server and non-ASM storage. Oracle version is 10g EE. My database has one bigfile tablespace and it's datafile is about 250GB. The restore fails and it has something to do with the bigfile tablespace.
Here is the rman restore script:
run
set newname for datafile 1 to '/ora01/db/ehr/system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to '/ora01/db/ehr/undotbs01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 3 to '/ora01/db/ehr/sysaux01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 4 to '/ora01/db/ehr/undotbs02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 5 to '/ora01/db/ehr/users01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 6 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloaud01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 7 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollohist01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 8 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 9 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollotab01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 10 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollotab02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 11 to '/ora02/db/ehr/apollolob01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 12 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollofdb01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 13 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 14 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx03.dbf';
set newname for datafile 15 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloaud02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 16 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollotab03.dbf';
set until sequence 60298 thread 2;
restore database;
switch datafile all;
recover database;
Datafile 11 is the datafile in the bigfile tablespace. Here are the weird things about the restore:
1. The restore output shows this:
creating datafile fno=11 name=/ora02/db/ehr/apollolob01.dbf
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile backupset restore
channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set
restoring datafile 00001 to /ora01/db/ehr/system01.dbf
restoring datafile 00002 to /ora01/db/ehr/undotbs01.dbf
restoring datafile 00003 to /ora01/db/ehr/sysaux01.dbf
restoring datafile 00004 to /ora01/db/ehr/undotbs02.dbf
restoring datafile 00005 to /ora01/db/ehr/users01.dbf
restoring datafile 00006 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloaud01.dbf
restoring datafile 00007 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollohist01.dbf
restoring datafile 00008 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx01.dbf
restoring datafile 00009 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollotab01.dbf
restoring datafile 00010 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollotab02.dbf
restoring datafile 00012 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollofdb01.dbf
restoring datafile 00013 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx02.dbf
restoring datafile 00014 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx03.dbf
restoring datafile 00015 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloaud02.dbf
restoring datafile 00016 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollotab03.dbf
Why at the beginning is it "creating" datafile 11? Then it doesnt even say it is "restoring" that datafile. Only restoring datafiles 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,15, and 16.
When it creates datafile 11 it is only 26GB, that is much smaller than it should be according to v$datafile view on source prod database. Also even though it says it is creating datafile 11 as /ora02/db/ehr/apollolob01.dbf it actually creates it as an oracle managed file at /ora02/db/ehr/EHR/datafile/o1_mf_apollolo_6crxyqs2_.dbf
After the datafiles are restored the "switch datafile all" command fails:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of switch command at 10/18/2010 13:58:37
ORA-19625: error identifying file /ora02/db/ehr/apollolob01.dbf
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
So my question is how do I get this database restored to non-ASM (and non omf)?

So I tried using a different scn with my "set until scn #####" then the restore created 2 datafiles. The datafile for apollolob and apollotab02.dbf. So I think I have narrowed the problem to be that I am not using the correct scn number so RMAN can successfully restore those datafiles and recreates them instead. How do I find the correct scn to use to do a successful restore of the entire database? I have seen different methods on the web, but cant figure it out. Ive used "select archivelog_change#-1 from v$database;" and I also did "list backup of archivelog all" and used the latest sequence number. How can I find the correct scn to use so the entire database will restore?
Here is the output of "list backup":

I really do not know what is my problem and how to solve it. I hope you guys can help me. I'm under a big pressure to solve this soon.
My Operating System is: WinXP Pro
I'm using APEX 2.01
When I create the backup I use ARCHIVELOG enable
Things i try:
1. Install fresh oracle XE database, and restore
2. Install fresh oracle XE database, enable archivelog and restore
3. Install fresh oracle XE database, enable archivelog, change path of DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to 'D:\Respaldo'.
4. Install fresh oracle XE database, enable archivelog, change path of DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to 'D:\Respaldo', and execute: @?/sqlplus/admin/movelogs;
5. Install fresh oracle XE database, enable archivelog, change path of DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to 'D:\Respaldo';, and change DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE to 20G;
NOTE: sorry for my english it is not my native language. and sorry for using a spanish version of the database.

Issue with Dataflow Task in SSIS Package

Hello Everyone,
I have recently created an SSIS package to Load data from Flat file to SQL Server Table, it was working fine. Now I have bought a new laptop and copied the projects into this new system and changed all the connection managers(Flat files) accordingly.
Problem is, when I previously ran the package(With File1) in old laptop and check the distinct count on a table it was perfect, but when I ran the same package with same File on New Laptop, the Distinct count gives me an issue with particular record.
Eg: Distinct Count with old laptop Run , 10,20,100
Distinct Count with old New Run , 10,20,100 , 100
There is a Space being generated for a particular record, when I run the package on new laptop with same File as old one.
Any suggestions on this, I could not exactly figured out the Issue.
Please Help.
Thanks
Thanks, Please Help People When they need..!!! Mark as answered if your problem is solved.

You need to tell the responders here how exactly to reproduce your issue and provide the file.
I do not know how the "distinct count" works.
Seems to me it appears to be a database issue not SSIS.

When I perform the above query on old laptop, this gives me a result set of

When I perform the Same query on New laptop, this gives me a result set of

ORA-01180 and ORA-01110 error when restoring database by RMAN in 11.1.0.6.0

I have a new installed database running in ARCIHVELOG mode on SUSE 10SP3. Catalog is not used. When I try to restore the database from a level 0 backup based on SCN, ORA-01180 and ORA-01110 were raised out today. Please help me through this. Thx. The senario follows:
1. I got the current SCN by "select dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number from dual". Say it's 12345;
2. I did a level 0 hot backup with current control file, archived logs and parameter files. Everything went well;
3. Some other DMLs are applied to the database;
4. I want to do a SCN-based incomplete recovery for this database to SCN 12345. Then I
1) shutdown immediate;
2) startup nomount;
3) restore the control file from backupset;
5) startup mount;
6) catalog start with "[backupset path]";
7) restore database until scn 12345.
Just at step 4.7, ORA-01180 and ORA-01110 were raised out, saying cannot create data file 1. Note: Backup files are existing and file permissions are all OK.
Then I issues "list incarnation of database". There is just one record with incarnation id 1.
So I queried v$log_history, found serveral record there. The most recent one has NEXT_SCN later than 12345, say 12400. Then I tried to restore database until this SCN. It WORKED! The restore and recovery succeeded.
My questions are:
1. Why cannot I restore the database to a previous SCN, say 12345, but 12400 is OK?.
2. If the database was RESETLOG prior to my recovery, should I reset database to the incarnation where I took my backup? What can I do if there is no that incarnation information in my control file?
Waiting for your suggestion.

Hi guys. There is one update.
This issue is caused by the incorrect SCN vs. backup set. I got this SCN before the backup started. According to Oracle docs, it's not allowed for an SCN based recovery.
Now, I changed the sequence of my operations, so that SCN is got once backup is done, which is exact the "most recent sequence# and least SCN" mentioned by some thread in this forum. It works now.
Anyone could explain why the SCN got prior to the level 0 backup is not recognized by restore/recovery phase? Thanks.

After Piecemeal Primary FileGroup Restoration, Database Property Window Shows other FileGroups also

Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2008 database with 90 Gigs of Capacity.
The database consists of a huge table with 80 Gigs of Capacity and these entire 80 Gigs of data is Static in nature.
We need the to restore the backup of this database frequently in to the Development environment, so we moved this static data into a Secondary File Group.
Now, the database Consists of 2 Filegroups : Primary & Secondary_fg.
The entire Static table is moved to the Secondary FileGroup.
We have taken the backup of Primary FileGroup using the following Backup Command :
Backup Database MYDB FILEGROUP = 'PRIMARY' to disk = 'E:\SQLBackup\MYDB_Primary_FG_Only.bak'
WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'MYDB - Full Filegroup backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD
The backup went file with the expected capacity of 10 Gigs.
I have restored this backup in to a New Database : MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY using the following command
RESTORE DATABASE [MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY] FILE = 'MYDB_DATA', FILEGROUP = 'PRIMARY'
FROM DISK = 'E:\SQLBackup\MYDB_Primary_FG_Only.bak',
WITH FILE=1,
MOVE 'MYDB_DATA' TO 'E:\SQLDATA\MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY_DATA.mdf',
MOVE 'MYDB_LOG' TO 'E:\SQLDATA\MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY_LOG.ldf', NOUNLOAD, PARTIAL
GO
The Restoration also went fine and the size of the Newly Restored Database : "MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY" is with 10 Gigs in Capacity.
But, the gotcha here is whilst checking the Database Properties of this Newly restored database, on the FILES & FILEGROUPS tab, the files & filegroups related to the SECONDARY FILEGROUP is also showing.
MY ACTUAL QUESTION :
On the PRIMARY FILEGROUP ONLY RESTORATION HOW THIS SECONDARY FILEGROUP IS COMING INTO PICTURE ?
MOREOVER, WHEN I TRIED TO REMOVE THE SECONDARY FILEGROUP AND IT'S RESPECTIVE DATA FILE IT THROUGH THE FOLLOWING ERROR :
COMMAND USED TO REMOVED THE FILE & FILEGROUP :
USE [MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY] REMOVE FILE [SECONDARY_DATA_FILE.ndf]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY] REMOVE FILEGROUP [SECONDARY_FG]
GO
Error :
Msg 5056, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot add, remove, or modify a file in filegroup 'SECONDARY_FG' because the filegroup is not online.
Can anyone explain why such this error message ? Thanks in advance for any guidance in this regard.

On the PRIMARY FILEGROUP ONLY RESTORATION HOW THIS SECONDARY FILEGROUP IS COMING INTO PICTURE ?
When you restore only the primary filegroup, all database meta data is restored, including references to the filegroups and files not yet restored. Filegroups/files not restored will be recovery pending state and data on those filegroups will be inaccessible.
Removing the filegroup will change the status to defunct but the meta data will remain. You'll need to copy the restored objects and data to a new clean database if you want to tidy up.

RMAN restore database validate

All,
I cannot seem to find anything in the Oracle documentation what the RMAN restore database validate checks for? Does it check for physical and logical corruption or do I need to validate the backup using logical statement to check for this?
I would appreciate it if somebody could point me in the right direction.
This is for Oracle 9iR2
Many thanks

Database restore; database recover; Last step?

Ok, this is my first try with rman to restore and recover from tape.
My restore database finished successfully...no errors.
My recover database finished successfully...no errors.
Now...what is my last step?
Do I shut down and open back up normally, or, do I need to do something like shut down, then open with reset logs?
I'm guessing a full database backup after this re-opening would be a good idea too, no?
Thank you,
cayenne

Senior Oracle DBABecause I didn't see anything that specifically addressed what I've had to go through in recovering this database in the document or examples I've seen or could find.
And was wanting to just make sure since I was so close, didn't want to mess anything up at the last moment.
No need to be snippy about it...everyone else is happy to give some advice and help to someone who is obviously a noob at much of this and learning as he goes.
Hoping as I learn things better...that I can helps someone else, not to mention, that searching the forums, someone might run into a weird set of circumstances like I have on this and a couple other things.
You know the old saying..."if you don't have something nice to say, then...."?
Thanks to all for all the help, I think I'm up and going again now.

Dataminig task in ssis

I have written the connection for datamining query task in ssis and my properties have gone wrong.
provider:.net providers for oledb ,Microsoft OLEDb provider for analysis services and it asks for server name i have given my server name and then tested connection connection succeded but i couldnt get the mining strucuture
could you please help me in getting the mining structure please let me know if missing something if u need any further details please let me know
Thanks
Sathwik

Hi Sathwik,
Based on my test, I can reproduce the issue when the instance of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services you specified doesn’t contain the mining structure.
Please note that the Data Mining Query task requires two connections. The first connection is an Analysis Services connection manager that connects either to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services or to an Analysis Services project that contains
the mining structure and the mining model. The second connection is an OLE DB connection manager that connects to the SQL Server database that contains the table to which the task writes.
So to fix this issue, please make sure the Analysis Services Connection Manager connect to an instance contains mining structures. We can connect to the instance via SSMS to check it under cubes.

Restore database that has mirroring enabled

I apologize, as I'm the default SQL person now and my skill level is pretty much limited to running queries. SQL 2008 R2
We have a Test database that is mirrored and has severely outdated data. I'd like to copy the data in from a recent back up of our Production environment.
I understand I need to break mirroring first by going to the database > tasks > mirror > mirroring > hit "remove mirroring" button.
Then I can do a normal restore, correct? (Databases > Tasks > Restore). On the options page I should select "NORECOVERY".
Then what? I will need to restore the mirroring. Do I just go to database > tasks > mirror > mirroring and uncheck "remove mirroring"?
Any pitfalls I should be aware of?

Hi ,
According to your description, when you manually stop a database mirroring session via removing database mirroring, To continue mirroring after stopping a session, you must establish a new database mirroring session. For more information, see:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180801.aspx
In addition, we need to verify which database you want to do a normal restore. After removing database mirroring, the database in Principal server will become a normal database, you can do a normal restore. The database in Mirroring server will stay in recoverying.
You need to restore it with recovery for becoming a normal database.
Restore database <Mirroring database name> with recovery
-------------in Mirroring Server.
