Thank you Shanky_621 for replying.
The error is:
"SQL Server :: Object Cannot Be Cast From DBNull To Other Types"
Dont use GUI to restore database.This issue can come sometimes when your login is not administrator in SQL Server, instead use below query
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM disk= 'AdventureWorks2008R2_Backup'--this would be your backup location
-- Restore the files for MyAdvWorks.
RESTORE DATABASE MyAdvWorks--your database name
FROM AdventureWorks2008R2_Backup
WITH RECOVERY,
MOVE 'AdventureWorks2008R2_Data' TO 'D:\MyData\MyAdvWorks_Data.mdf',
MOVE 'AdventureWorks2008R2_Log' TO 'F:\MyLog\MyAdvWorks_Log.ldf'
GO
--specifiy drive where you want to restore database and kjust replace mdf and ndf with name you like in above script

MS SQL Server 2008 server is experiencing blocking

All,
The DBA & I are at a loss as to what could be causing an intermittent alert to be produced against the MS SQL Server 2008 server. The following email is what I've been provided:
SQL Services Alert: COMPANY.com - COMPSQL01 is experiencing blocking
spid BSPID DatabaseName    Login                          LastBatch        Runtime (Alert@:1) Command
394 0     ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD 102.16.4.126\ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD 2015-04-06 10:52                  5 (@P1 int)SELECT * FROM HSP_ACTIVITY_LEASE WHERE ACTIVITY_ID = @P1
404 0     ORAEPM_HP_VISIO 102.16.4.126\ORAEPM_HP_VISION 2015-04-06 10:50                  7 (@P1 int)SELECT * FROM HSP_ACTIVITY_LEASE WHERE ACTIVITY_ID = @P1
403 404   ORAEPM_HP_VISIO 102.16.4.126\ORAEPM_HP_VISION 2015-04-06 10:49                  8 (@P1 int)UPDATE HSP_ACTIVE_SERVERS SET LAST_ACTIVE_TIME = GETDATE() WHERE SERVER_ID = @P1
395 394   ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD 102.16.4.126\ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD 2015-04-06 10:49                  8 (@P1 int)UPDATE HSP_ACTIVE_SERVERS SET LAST_ACTIVE_TIME = GETDATE() WHERE SERVER_ID = @P1
From what I've been told, it appears that SPID 394 is the offending one but it appears to be clashing with SPID 404 and causing the blocking to occur. Both appear to be automatic processes executed by Planning to monitor\track the status of the various Planning applications in operation.
As background info, the following applies:
- All servers are MS Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 (64-bit);
- Hyperion Planning is v11.1.2.3.502;
- The RDBMS platform is a MS SQL Server 2008 (64-bit) instance;
- ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD is the RDBMS database accessed by a custom-developed Planning application while ORAEPM_HP_VISION is the RDBMS database for Oracle's Vision Planning application;
Has anyone ever encountered - and resolved - such an issue? If yes, how?
Many thanks in advance,
JBM

Can you pin point a particular TopLink query tied to the " FETCH_APICURSOR* " call in the app and post how it is being created?
My guess is that the application is specifying the TopLink query object to return a cursor or stream and not closing it in all cases, or keeping them open for a long period - did you say they were leaking, or is it just that a large number are open at a time leading to performance problems?
This streams+cursors are described in the TopLink docs here
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/b32441/qryadv.htm#CJGJBHGJ
or the 10g docs here:
http://sqltech.cl/doc/oas10gR3/web.1013/b13593/qryadv010.htm
If this is the case, you might want to use a different strategy such as pagination instead of cursors, described here:

What are share point server 2013 & Share point Designer 2013 & Office 365 & Yammer & Share point 2013 & Windows server 2008 server & Windows Server 2012 Server Data Center?

I need some clarifications.
What are share point server 2013 & Share point Designer 2013 & Office 365 & Yammer & Share point 2013 & Windows server 2008 server & Windows Server 2012 Server Data Center? How each them are related in collaboration system?
Is Share point server 2013 and Share pointer Designer 2013 available in 32bit version? If not, then how to use it in 32 bit machine by using any VMs?
Thanks
Senthil

SharePoint Server 2013:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-sharepoint-collaboration-software-FX103479517.aspx
SharePoint Designer 2013:
Designer is used to develop SharePoint pages using HTML/CSS/JS as well as SharePoint Designer Workflows
Yammer:
https://about.yammer.com/
Windows Server is Windows, but the Server OS. SharePoint runs on top of supported Windows Servers editions (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx).
SharePoint Server is 64-bit only (trial:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh973397.aspx), although Designer does have a 32-bit edition (full product:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35491).
You will need the capability to run 64bit VMs. Minimum recommended all-in-one VM for SharePoint is to allocate 24GB of RAM, but you can get away with as little as 12GB (I wouldn't go below that). Because of this, it generally rules out 32bit OSes as a virtual
machine host.

SQL Server 2008 R2 Backup jobs are failing

I have a problem with SQL Server 2008 R2. First the management studio package is failing to load. backup jobs on that server are failing to run. The server won't accept any installation. The Installation of .Net Framework failed, the Installation of SQL
server 2008 R2 SP2 also failed, Trying to repair SQL Server through the CD also failed. Actually the server cannot install anything on it. When you try to initiate the installation it comes back and say check online for solution or close the program.
I am desperate here as I cannot backup

When you try to initiate the installation it comes back and say check online for solution or close the program.
Are you sure this is the error, I updated SP2 last week and I got the same message but if I remember correctly there was a continue button as well. Could you post the errors.
SP2 not installing, .net framework not installing, ssms not loading up and backups not running all could be due to different issues. Consider these as different and post error message that you are receiving for the issue which is most important for you.

MS SQL Server 2008 -- Daily Backup

Hello,
My real need is simply to do a daily backup of a database : I have SQL Server 2008
( not express ) .
My user is sa and has full control on the database.
I have searched the web and found many places where they say to do a Task -> Backup and then click on "script action to job". This option is greyed out ( and it is NOT express) and I am using the sa
user will FULL privileges.
I read here ( http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/4c5b5ff3-f2cd-4439-b878-de0891a5eedf/sql-server-management-studio-express-script-action-to-job-grayed-out?forum=sqldatabaseengine ) that I may need to "Install
Integration Services" .
However, when I go to do this (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143731(v=sql.105).aspx ) , I read:
You can install SQL Server Integration Services on a computer that has no previous instances of SQL Server.
Well, my server is already installed and running in production.
Q: can I "Install Integration Services" even if I have an SQL server installed and running ?
Q: do I absolutely require to have Integration Services to automate the backups?
Q: any simple way to just dump the database every night to a folder ?
Thanks!
Johnny

You can use the Database Maintenance Wizard to setup a daily backup job.
BOL: "Use the Maintenance Plan Wizard
This topic describes how to create a single server or multiserver maintenance plan using the Maintenance Plan Wizard in SQL Server 2014. The Maintenance Plan Wizard creates a maintenance plan that Microsoft SQL Server Agent can run on a regular basis. This
allows you to perform various database administration tasks, including backups, database integrity checks, or database statistics updates, at specified intervals."

Windows Server 2008 R2 Backup failing with error - 0x8004231F

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2008 R2 Web Edition. Everything was working fine until recently. I tried checking for the log files, but I see that there are no log files that are created now in the location C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup. The only files that
are being created recently are of the type mentioned below.
Wbadmin.1.etl

etc.
I tried removing the old backup and starting a new backup. But, even now it is failing with the same error.

Restore SQL on another Server

Hi All,
I have an ECC 6 running on SQL 2005, Windows Server 2003 R2, I want to restore the same DB to another ECC 6 server, and connect it to the restored SQL DB. for that purpose I prepared the new machine with new ECC 6 installation and then i restored my SQL DB to this new machine, but ECC wont start, it turn green for a while but then into yellow and then stopped.
Can anyone help regrading to the above, are there any procedures i shall follow after data restore so i can make ECC work?
Thank you all,

are you running your SAP instance using a domain user or local user?
If domain user - is the user SysAdmin in SQL? Or at least granted full DB OWNER access to the SAP DB?
If local user - have you verified the user has access to the SAP DB? If the user is there, the DB SID may not match up, you may need to run a sp_change_users_login to sync up the DB SID.
Also, post the dev_ms, dev_disp, and dev_w0 files from your work directory.

Windows Server 2008 Server Manager - The WinRM Client Cannot Process the Request.

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Dedicated Server, and I have installed Windows Server 2008 R2. I want to use Server Manager because I don't really have that much experience with command line commands, so I wanted to use server manager, I can remotely connect
to my server but when I use Server Manager I get the error "The WinRM Client Cannot Process the Request, if the authentication scheme is different from Kerberos..." I haven't set up a domain between my PC and the Dedi, as I do not know how/or know
if this is applicable in this situation.
Thanks for your time!

Problems installing Crystal Reports 2008 Server on Windows Server 2008 serv

I attempted to install the Crystal Reports 2008 product on one of our Windows Server 2008 servers.
After installing disk 1
Crystal Reports 2008 Server attempts to open up in IE...... but opens up to a blank page
http://bmlfileserver:8080/CmcApp/
anyone have any idea why? why does it not prompt for the second CD?
Is this a compatibility with Windows Server 2008?

I'm attempting to install CRS 2008 on Windows Server 2008 as well, and I'm running into a few issues. Did you ever get yours resolved? I started by trying to use IIS, but I'm uninstalling it completely now and will try Tomcat instead. Which route did you go?

I looking to setup will be at a separate geographic location.
Has anyone tried this? Are there any problems one can expect? Is this a bad idea?

Missing Files in Windows Server 2008 server

There are a lot of missing files in a server that we manage.
There are no scheduled changes or activity prior to this incident.
Is there a way to determine how the files were deleted?
Are there any reported issue regarding sudden disappearance of files in Windows Server 2008?
What are the events to look / find at the logs?

Hi,
You can check the event viewer to see if any related logs existing.
If you enabled Audit Objecr Access with both success and failure events in group policy(Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policies>Audit Policy>Audit Object Access - Success/Failure), add auditing to the
folders/drives and enable auditing for "Delete" and "Delete Subfolders and Files", then you can check that under security log in event viewer.
