ALM - Visual Studio Database Projects and Data Warehousing

I have moved onto a team doing data warehousing. In the past I have performed application lifecycle managment using Visual Studio and TFS for web and test projects. I am helping my current team define a plan to start using TFS 2010 and Visual Studio 2012
to manage our schema and T-SQL code (develop, build, and deploy). I was wondering if there are a set of best pracitices specific to databases with large data volumes on multicoatabase Windows servers. Some of our deployment edge cases involve long running
data migrations (which we can manage in an ETL tool) and schema upgrades to larger tables. That last one is what I need some guidance on. any guidance on applying ALM best practices to warehouses with larger volumes of data would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • SQL Server 2008 R2: which version of Visual Studio do I need to keep database projects and SSIS projects in the same solution

    I need to build a solution containing a database project and an integration services project for SQL Server 2008R2.  Apparently, the subset of Visual Studio tools that comes with SQL Server 2008R2 does not include database projects and does not have
    Team Foundation Server support.  Because of those limitations, I am trying to determine which version of Visual Studio will allow me to:
    1. Build a single solution that includes both a database project and an Integration Services project
    2. For the database project, be able to import a database schema from an existing SQL Server 2008 R2 database, do schema compares and update the project from the database and vice versa
    3. For the Integration Services project, be able to deploy the packages to SQL Server Integration Services on SQL Server 2008 R2 (that is, to the msdb database).
    4. Use Team Foundation Server for source control of the whole solution, including both project types.

    Hi G Britton,
    To build a solution containing a database project and an integration services project for SQL Server 2008 R2 and use Team Foundation Server for source control.
     You can choose to install Visual Studio 2008.
    And as you want to utilize Schema compare and/or Data compare functionalities in Visual Studio, you will need to install the
    Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition or Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite.
    In addition, for Visual Studio issues, I would like to recommend you post the question in the
    Visual
    Studio forums to get better support.

  • Visual Studio 2013 Setup and Installation gets stuck at system restore point. what are the issues?, help me out!!!

    Visual Studio 2013 Setup and Installation gets stuck at system restore point. what are the issues?, help me out ASAP

    Hello nitinrathod29,
    There are some possible fixes for this issue.
    Please check the following thread:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/47bc6990-00f2-4d85-b3f8-9de03c637f43/visual-studio-2013-update-2rc-stucks-on-creating-system-restore?forum=vssetup

    So here are them:
    1. Check if you have any software which may prevent the installer from running. For example, Windows Defender or any other software which may restrict your permissions.
    2. Just start the computer.
    3. Run the setup as admin.
    4. Check your UAC permissions.

  • Visual Studio 2012 Express and 2013 Professional won't open

    I have downloaded both Visual Studio 2012 Express and 2013 Profession and both stop working when I open them. I have been using the developers command prompt from 2013 to run some c++ code. I need the program for my c++ class so please
    help as soon as possible. 

    Hi,
    Is there any specific error message occur when you open VS?
    Because of there is not enough information for troubleshoot, I will give you some advice:
    First, reboot the machine into safe mode. This can isolate some third part application.
    Second, you can use Devenv.exe Command Line to start the VS and collect logs for troubleshooting:
    You could type ‘Devenv.exe /SafeMode’, which starts Visual Studio in safe mode, loading only the default environment and services.
    You could create a log file (‘Devenv.exe  /log’ ) on your drive. If this issue exists still, you could invest your log file to narrow down the issue.
    More information about Devenv.exe Command Line, you could refer the following link:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms241273(v=VS.80)
    Third, you should make sure you can successfully install the VS. Please use collect.exe utility to collect VS install logs to see whether the VS installation is success:
    http://aka.ms/vscollect
    And make sure you already followed up these steps to install your VS:
    1. Re-download the Visual studio from Microsoft official site here:
    http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
    After download you should use File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to verify the integrity of your download. If the values don't match, your download may be corrupted and you should download the file again:
    Refer to the below page to know checksum detailed number:
    http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs.aspx
    Refer to Download the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier to know how to check the checksum hash value.
    2. Disable your Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software and be sure that your OS has been "patched" up - Update your computer (Windows) before install the VS.
    3. Clean your %temp% folder and run the installer with Administrator permission.

  • How To: Use Visual Studio, IIS Express, and Adobe Edge Inspect to view local projects

    You CAN view a Visual Studio project with Adobe Inspect. The work around takes a little bit of time.
    This involves using IIS Express to run your Visual Studio project, which is mainly a setting in Visual Studio, a Firewall change, a few command line and IIS Express config change.  It isn't actually all that bad, but will make your life A LOT easier.
    Here are the steps. (Note these are steps I used for Visual Studio 2012 and your project is part of a solution project.  Windows 7 or Windows 8)
    1. If IIS in not turned on, turn it on.How to: Enable Internet Information Services (IIS) - this should install IIS Express as well.
    2. In Visual Studio, find the port that Visual Studio will be using for your project by Running your web project (Debug), and note/write down/save the port number that shows up in the browser when the project launches. (ex.  http://localhost:12345)
    3. Add a NetShare Reservation (process for this will be different for Windows XP)
    Go to your Command Line (CMD) in Windows and in c:\Windows\system32> type in
    netsh http add urlacl url=http://yourIPaddress:yourPortNumber user=everyone
    (ex. netsh add urlacl url=http://12.34.56.78:12345 user=everyone)
    Hit Enter key. You should be a successful add reservation message
    3. Go to your Windows Explorer (File system) and go to c:/Users/YourName/MyDocuments (or Documents)/IISExpress/config/ and open 'applicationhost.config'
    In the 'applicationhost.config' file find your site in the <sites> section.
    Example:
    <sites>
    <site name="WebSite1" id="1" serverAutoStart="true">
                    <application path="/">
                        <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="C:\MyProjects\TestSite" />
                    </application>
                    <bindings>
                        <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":12345:localhost" />
                    </bindings>
                </site>
    </sites>
    In this section ADD 2 new lines to the <bindings> section. Note add your own IP address and your own Computer Name
    <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:12345:12.34.56.78" />
    <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":12345:MyComputerName" />
    Save the config file.
    4. Open up your Windows Firewall and go to 'Advanced Settings'. Here you want to create an Inbound Rule.
    Right click on Inbound Rule and select New Rule
    - Rule Type select 'Custom'
    - Program leave this
    - Protocol and Ports > Protocol Type select 'TCP' then Local Port select 'Specific Port' and fill in the port number you got from VS.  Leave Remote Port alone.
    - Scope
    There are a few ways of doing this. Typically you would go the the Remote IP address and select 'These IP addresses: and select ADD > select 'Predefined set of computers' and choose Local Subnet.  IF this does not work leave Remote IP addresses > Any IP address option selected instead.
    - Action leave this
    - Profile select Domain and Private
    - Name put IISExpressWeb for the name
    Select 'Finish'
    5. Go to Visual Studio. (Note if you have multiple projects in your solution, choose your start up project. Right click on your project in Solution Explorer in VS and select 'Set as Start Up Project' )
    Right click on your start up project again and you should see an option to 'Use IISExpress'
    In the DEBUG dropdown (from the main menu bar at the top) select 'YourProjectName Properties'. Mine was the last one in the list with a wrench icon next to it.
    This should open an new tab in your project, You should see a left hand list of option and a right hand column of options.
    In the left column select 'Web' and in this tab select Use Local IIS Web server and select 'Use IIS Express' and type in your IP Address and port number (same as before) in the Project Url text box.
    Save.
    NOW, you should be able to run your project in Visual Studio and use Adobe Edge Inspect on your device and view new results in Chrome. You can develop from there.
    If you still can not see it working, please be sure your device is on the same SubNet or Wireless network as your computer.  If you are in a large network but the domains can still see each other, the Firewall Setting detailed above to allow Any IP Address in your Scope section.

  • Visual Studio quits responding and restarts when trying ot open any project

    Hi,
    According to your description, I recommend you can follow up these steps below to handle the issue:
    First, try to disable the windows process which is running.
    Second, you say you can run VS in the safeMode. It seems there is something wrong with VSCommands extension or other plugin. You can try to disable all extensions, restart visual studio and re-enable them; sometimes it resolves such issue.
    Third, you can try to reset your Vs by devenv.exe:

    Please update the result after you already try methods above.

  • Visual Studio 2005/2008 and Crystal Reports versions/upgrade questions.

    I've tried posting this question on the MSDN forums and gotten no response. 
    I've downloaded and installed VS 2008 Beta 2.   The versions on the Crystal Reports files included are 10.5.0.1806  
    I'm currently using VS 2005, with the included Crystal Reports.  The versions on those files are 10.2.0.xxxx.  I've created an desktop app (in VB) which stores it's data in a database and uses the CR 10 runtime merge modules to generate a report.
    I was considering upgrading the Crystal Reports version to XI.  I would like to allow customers to modify my delivered report with their own licensed copy of CR XI.  I am not providing any functionality within my app to create or modify the delivered .rpt or use it outside my application.
    Questions:
    Do I need to update the runtime files to CR XI to support rpt files modified with CR XI?  Current runtime files are being delivered with the CR 10 merge module.
    I see a Crystal Reports for Visual Studio upgrade to CR XI. 
    Can I update the merge modules to CR XI and still use the CR for VS2005 for development?
    Does it make any sense to update CR for VS 2005?  Or to get the full CR XI Developer edition?  My usage of CR functionality is very limited.
    Would there be any benefit to waiting for the release of VS 2008?   How does that change the scenario?
    How does Crystal Reports for Visual Studio fit in with the Crystal Reports Lifecycle?  It's not mentioned on Business Objects End of Life Dates page . Crystal 10 has a Patch EOL of 31-Dec-07.   Does this apply to CR for VS 2005?  Where does 10.5 fit in?
    My main concern is allowing customers with CR XI to change the format of my delivered .rpt to run with my app.  Adding their company name, logo, etc.   My testing show a CR XI report still works with my current app.  But, going forward, what should I deliver and what do I need to use to continue development?

    To use Reports designed in XI, you need to use XI or higher runtime, running them in older versions may work, but you may encounter unforeseen issues doing so.
    If you are to use VS2005 for development you need to use XI Release 2 (11.5) runtime.
    If you are going to use VS2008 for development you need to use Crystal Reports 2008 with Service Pack 0.
    The support end of life for versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio are linked to what Microsoft's lifecycle for the product is.  Generally if there is a workaround for the issue that is simple enough, there will not be a patch created.
    The changes you are expecting the customer to do can be accomplished with our RAS SDK which is available without using enterprise starting with Crystal Reports XIR2 SP2.

  • How do I put a project using nmake (or other make util) into a visual studio 2013 project?

    I'm not asking how to convert it over to visual studio's internal setup.  I want to use the custom build feature to build the code prior to building the current project so that the library generated will be available to the project.
    Steps I've used I got from
    here:
    Create a win32 dll project.
    Copy the files into a subdirectory under the project.
    In the Solution Explorer, I create a Filter that I then add all of the source, headers and Makefile to.
    I select all of the items in that filter group and right click and select properties.
    In Configuration Properties->General, I change Item Type to Custom Build Tool and click Apply. (In the Visual Studio 2013 community, this sometimes comes up with:
    An error has occured while saving the edited properties listed below:
    One or more values are invalid. Object reference not set to an instance of and object.
    Yeah, that's not cryptic. 9.9.  When that happens, I just click Ok and then click on the parent window, and it will ask me
    Do you want to save the changes you've made to the property page?
    To which I click Yes and it seems to apply it to all the files and I then reopen the property page again.
    I then go to Configuration Properties->Custom Build Tool->General and set
    Command Line to:
    cd subfolder
    nmake
    For Outputs, I set it to subfolder\bin\output-file.lib.
    For Link Objects, I leave it as Yes.
    Clicking on ok and then building gets me the following error:
    LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'subfolder\bin\output-file.lib'.
    Yeah, no kidding, it hasn't been made yet.
    What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

    Adrian

    I was trying to get it to be part of another project, and the information from Specifying Custom Build Tools stated:
    If the Custom
    Build Tool folder does not appear, the file extension of the file you selected is associated with a default tool. For example,
    the default tool for .c and .cpp files is the compiler. To override a default tool setting, in the Configuration
    Properties node, in the General folder,
    in the Item Type property,
    click Custom Build Tool.
    Click Apply and
    the Custom Build Tool node
    is displayed.
    Indicating that what I was trying to accomplish could be done.  However, since this is 3rd party code, this seems to be a cleaner way of doing it.
    Thanks,

  • How can I convert a project from LabWindows/CVI 2010 to a Visual Studio 2011 project?

    I have a good sized project, 12 source files, 14 headers, 1 uir, that I want to be able to edit and compile in MS Visual Studio 2011, MSVC++.
    I remember being told that LabWindows dropped support for C++ in 2008 and no longer had a wizard for converting projects. I know I can go the DLL route, but I have never created a DLL before and wouldn't know where to begin with it. What would be the best way to go about this conversion?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    CVI 2010 still supports the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard for Visual Studio 2005/2008. We do plan to add support for VS 2010 in a future release.
    If you need a VS 2010 project now, you can use the Visual Studio 2008 conversion wizard, then upgrade the VS 2008 project to VS 2010.

  • Copying database objects and data from one server database to another server database in AG group

    Hi,
    I am still trying to wrap my head around sql clusters and AGs and I have a project that requires I take a vendor's database and restore it weekly so its available on the production server which is clustered.
    The vendor's database on the cluster is in an AG group and encrypted.
    Right now, I plan to restore the database on a sql staging server and use the SSIS Transfer SQL Server Objects Task to copy the table structure and data from Stage to the Production database of same name and I would first drop the objects in production
    database using the same task.
    I am concerned that this might cause issues with the passive cluster due to "logging" from active to passive. The database is about 260 MBs and I am not sure how many tables.
    Has anyone run into this type of scenario before or have a better solution?
    Thanks
    Sue

    IF I understand anything about clustered sql and logging, the sql server should take the log file and recreate the same scenario on the passive side of the cluster.
    Is that correct?
    Hi Sue,
    Yes, for AlwaysOn Availability Group, the transaction log is basically replayed from the primary to all of the secondary's.
    Besides, from my point of view, as we cannot directly restore a database that is part of an Availability Group, it is a good way using SSIS task to drop and recreate all tables then transfer data from the restored database to the primary replica. Schema changes
    and data changes will also happen on the secondary  replica.
    There are some similar links for your reference.

    Hello,
    It seems that you want to add an icon for your application to be used as a shortcut or an icon located in quick start explorer.
    You could add that icon with the following way.
    How to: Specify an Application Icon (Visual Basic, C#)
    In addition, we should pay attention to the icon format for different systems and different DPI modes.

  • Error message when trying to access Code in Visual Studio Online project.

    I have been using visual studio online for a while. Last week I connected azure console to my visual studio online account so that I could add an additional person to one of my projects.
    After that, I create a new Git based project. From the outset in the outset, I have been receiving a message in code explorer in the new project:
    The items requested either do not exist on the server at the specified versions, or you do not have permission to access them.Hide details
    TFS.WebApi.Exception: The items requested either do not exist on the server at the specified versions, or you do not have permission to access them. at b.a._getFailedRequestError (https://*******.visualstudio.com/_static/tfs/20150113T200222/_scripts/TFS/min/corejs?v=RGgj5lMwHLD78kGD2wBxR4uHtflIGwSdmCEhWbtUphc1:52:3204)

    Accessing the project from Git tools connected fine and I was able to commit successfully, however, I don't know if the code is in the repo, because I cannot browse it on the website. Am still getting the message above.
    I can explore code for any of my other project without issue. All but one of my projects is using git.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi Richie42,
    I'd like to know whether you can push the commits to remote git repository, and when this issue occurred. When work with Git team project in Visual Studio Online, you have to clone the Git repository to local, and work with it.
    You can also check if your have permissions to this team project in security page of team web access. Or
    run
    tfssecurity command in VS command line to have a check. Please execute tfssecurity /imx “MS account” /collection:url, for more information about tfssecurity /imx, please refer to:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms400806.aspx
    Another option is clean team foundation cache, delete credentials in credential manager and delete browser cookies. Restart the Visual Studio to have a try. If the issue persists, please elaborate more details about your scenario with the reproduce steps.
