Reporting Services 2012 for SharePoint and SQL Server Agent "Subscriptions and Alerts"

After installing Reporting Services for SharePoint (Denali) in my test farm, I'm trying to configure the "SQL Server Agent" access for Reporting Services. From Central Admin I'm going to the Reporting Service applicaiton configuration screen and selecting
"Provision Subscriptions and Alerts". I've tried both options on this screen. I've manually executed the "download sql script" in SQL Server, as well as entering a user with SQL sys admin rights on the SQL server into the login fields on the screen.
The role and permissions have been created for the application pool service account, but Reporting Services is still trying to connect with the annonymous login because I'm getting the following alert each time I open the "Provision Subscriptions and Alerts"
screen:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'
The "status" on the screen still shows "SQL Server Agent State cannot be determined". Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks!!

Thanks for your reply!
1) Looks like the new Reporting Services does not run as a Windows Service so it's not listed in the "Configure Service Accounts" pulldown. As a result, I don't see how to set the service account. It's only assigned to an application pool.
I installed it into an existing application pool and that application pool "is" in the list and has a domain service account already assigned.
2) Which users need to be in here in order to configure the "Provision Subscriptions and Alerts" screen? I already have the farm admin account which is the account I use when running Central Admin.
3) As mentioned in #1, I've installed Reporting Services into an existing application pool with other service apps.
4) This link is for Reporting Services 2008 R2 which is very different install process. But I did follow the SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 RC0 installation instructions and the Reporting Services is functioning correctly with no errors.
I'm just not able to configure the sceduling the alerting with interfaces with the SQL Server Agent.
Thanks!

Creating a Job for publication in Sql Server with select statement for passing a parameter

I am creating a job for adding article to a publication. the second step (e.g. for adding article) gives me error. I pass the name of the table as follow:
     EXEC sp_addarticle
           @publication = 'TTB', --THE NAME OF MY PUBLICATION
           'select top (1)' @article = 'Name from TableAdded Order by create_date Desc',
           'select top (1)' @source_object = 'Name from TableAdded Order by create_date Desc',
            @force_invalidate_snapshot = 1;
TableAdded is a table I have in my publisher which contains the name of the newly added table.
I believe it fails because the way I pass the name of the article to the store procedure is not correct. Can anyone please help me on that?
Kind regards
Amin

Yes, the way you add article is wrong.
you may try the below and let us know if you have any issues:
while loop begin (Get the values from TableAdded with status IsAdded=0)
Assign the values to variables like @article = Select top 1 Name from TableAdded where IsAdded=0
Call the sp_addarticle assigning the variable
update the Isadded flag in tableAdded for the name to 1
end while
BTB, Article configuration is supposed to be a one time configuration. Having said, you can easily configure through API. Caution, not sure what are you trying here, for adding new article, you may need to synch the data first in the above approach and should
carried out in the downtime.

Service accounts for the Workspace Database service permission Error while creating Tabular Mode from PowerPivot

Hi All,
Please help me out against this issue. I have spent so much (3 working days) time just figuring out what is the issue and its solution.
I am learning Tabular Mode and trying to create a mode based on PowerPivot model. I am getting following error message:
'The PowerPivot workbook could not be imported. The service account for the workspace database server does not have permission to read from the PowerPivot workbook.'
Here is my infrastructure:
1. SSAS in Tabular Mode is installed on my Windows 8 Laptop
2. PowerPivot is also in my laptop
3. There is only my account (as Admin of course) for SSAS
Here are my questions:
1. What is this error and how can I cope with that? A step by step explanation would be highly appreciated :-)
2. Do I need to change something in Windows settings or in SSAS?
3. I am confused about my workspace database server as well, Do I have to install SSAS twice; one for development and one for workspace?
Looking forward for the expert advise.
Tahir
Thanks, TA

Hi,
I suspect you might have more luck if you try the SSAS forum: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqlanalysisservices

Service Account for SQL Server Agent on SQL Server 2008 R2

This SQL Server instance is SQL Server 2008 R2 (10.50.4000). We had Active Domain Service accounts created to run the service accounts for SQL Server and SQL Server Agent.
It has become company policy to alter the service accounts that run SQL Server and SQL Server Agent. Currently, both were running under the Local System Accounts. We have altered the SQL Server but we are having issues with the SQL Server Agent.
I am told by another DBA that
"The agent is requiring elevated rights. It will startup if it has local admin rights, but not with domain accounts without admin rights."
So I was wondering if anyone has come across this issue and how did they resolve it.
lcerni

"The agent is requiring elevated rights. It will startup if it has local admin rights, but not with domain accounts without admin rights."
This is completely not true. It is indeed possible to run agent as a domain account without giving it local admin. Chances are you'll need to update the local acls by adding the account to the local security groups. Please see this article for more information:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504(v=sql.105).aspx
Edit: In addition, it'll need rights to SQL server for that account to connect and do its work. It will need to be given sysadmin:

Question : Service Accounts for SQL Server 2012

Hello,
I am planning to create AD accounts for SQL Server 2012 services that will be installed on Windows 2012 server.
I was reading the following
Configure Windows Service Accounts and Permissions
and
Windows Privileges and Rights
Is there a recommendation / document that would list that assocation of SQL Server Services with Actvie Directory service accounts / privileges required for installation and starting the services.
Isn't it recommended to create separate account for every service and they should not be local accounts ?
Hope to hear soon as to what industry standards are being followed for production systems ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
Nikunj

From MSDN:
Each service in SQL Server represents a process or a set of processes to manage authentication of SQL Server operations with Windows. Each service can be configured to use its own service account. This facility is exposed
at installation. SQL Server provides a special tool, SQL Server Configuration Manager, to manage the services configuration.
When choosing service accounts, consider the principle of least privilege. The service account should have exactly the privileges that it needs to do its job and no more privileges. You also need to consider account isolation; the service accounts should
not only be different from one another, they should not be used by any other service on the same server. Do not grant additional permissions to the SQL Server service account or the service groups.
From Glen Berry's Blog:
You should request that a dedicated domain user account be created for use by the SQL Server service. This should just be a regular, domain account with no special rights on the domain. You do not need or want this account to be a local admin on the machine
where SQL Server will be installed. The SQL Server setup program will grant the necessary rights on the machine to that account during installation.
You will also want a separate, dedicated domain user account for the SQL Server Agent service. If you are going to be installing and using other SQL Server related services such as SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS),
or SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), you will want dedicated domain accounts for each service. The reason you want separate accounts for each service is because they require different rights on the local machine, and having separate accounts is both more
secure and more resilient, since a problem with one account won’t affect all of the SQL Server Services.
Depending on your organization, getting these domain accounts created could take anywhere from minutes to weeks to complete, so make sure to allow time for this. For each one of these accounts, you will need their logon credentials for the SQL Server setup
program. You are going to want to make sure that the accounts don’t have a temporary password that must be changed during the next login. If they are set up that way, make sure to change them to use a strong password, and record this information in a secure
location.

Use SIA service account for SQL Server reporting connections (BIP4.1)

Is it possible to use the SIA service account as a proxy for a SQL Server connection using OLE DB? This way, anytime a report was refreshed, the SIA service account would be used when authenticating to the reporting database? This is a common pattern in software development to minimize database maintenance (when there is sufficient security being enforced at the application layer - BOBJ provides this).
This would make SQL Server database security management very easy for the DBAs (just add the BOBJ service account to the database and assign dbreader).
I would think this would be an option, but a Relational Connection only provides the following 3 Authentication modes when using the IDT to create and publish a Relational Connection (OLEDB/MSSQL):
Use BusinessObjects credential mapping
This takes the username and password from the "Database Credentials" section of the BusinessObjects User object for the user in the current session. It passes the info as hard-coded SQL authentication.
Use single sign-on when refreshing reports at view time
This is ONLY for end-to-end single-sign-on (as the error message in the next paragraph specifies) and uses the Windows AD credentials for the user in the current session. It is this method of authentication that I'd like to use, i.e. Windows Integrated Security, but I'd like to have the SIA account act as the account that makes the connection, not end-to-end.
Use specified username and password
This is for hard-coding usernames and passwords (only SQL authentication in OLE DB).
I've tried leaving the "Cache security context" option OFF in Windows AD Authentication settings, hoping it would default to using the service account for authentication to the database... to no avail. It fails during tests in the IDT with the message:
"Single Sign-On failed in the CMS. Please contact your system administrator for details. : The authentication provider (secWinAD) associated with this logon session does not have inter-process Single Sign-On enabled. Contact your system administrator for details. (FWB 00019)"
Alternatively, a SQL user could be hard-coded into the connection (same simple maintenance on the DBA side), but we'd really like to rely on Windows Integrated Security if possible!
Is there a way?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
David

Hey David,
Did you ever solve this? We get the same SSO error when indexing information spaces in Explorer.

Service Accounts for Reporting Service in SQL Server Failover Cluster setup

I am setting up 2 Report Services (SSRS) in SQL Failover Clustering (Version: 2012SP1) on Windows 2012, as part of scale out architecture.
There are 2 options to configure the service account for SSRS:
Option 1) Using domain accounts, as what I have done for DB Engine and SQL Agent.
Option 2) accept the default, which is virtual account for SSRS. Per documentation URL:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx
which is the recommended one? is it option 2?
There is security note on above URL as well, but does not clearly mention that option 1 is not recommended.
Security Note: Always run SQL Server services by using the lowest possible user rights. Use a MSA or virtual account when possible. When MSA and virtual accounts are not possible, use a specific low-privilege user account or domain account instead
of a shared account for SQL Server services. Use separate accounts for different SQL Server services. Do not grant additional permissions to the SQL Server service account or the service groups. Permissions will be granted through group membership or granted
directly to a service SID, where a service SID is supported.
Thanks very much for your help!

Hi Luo Donghua,
In SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance, personally two options can run well. If you use the virtual account for SQL Server Reporting Service. Virtual accounts in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 are managed local accounts that provide the features to
simplify service administration. The virtual account is auto-managed, and the virtual account can access the network in a domain environment.
Of cause, you can also use domain accounts in your clustering.
Just make sure your service account is set up here, or that it is using a proper built-in account.For more information, see:http://ermahblerg.com/2012/11/08/cluster-ssrs-in-2008/

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:

How to create database link between oracle and SQL Server

Hello Everyone,
Here i have Oracle Database 9i and SQL Server 2005 databases.
I have some tables in sql server db and i want to access from Oracle.
How to create a database link between these two servers
Thanks,

Thanks for Everyone,
I was struggle with this almost 10 days....
I created Database link from Oracle to SQL Server
Now it is fine.........
Here i am giving my servers configuration and proceedure how i created the db link...@
Using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC) we can create db link between Oracle and SQL server.
Machine (1)
DB Version : Oracle 9.2.0.7.0
Operating System : HP-UX Itanuim 64 11.23
IP : 192.168.0.31
Host : abcdbt
Machine (2)
Version : SQL Server 2005
Operating System : Windows server 2003 x86
IP : 192.168.0.175
Host : SQLDEV1
User/PW : sa/abc@123! (Connect to database)
Database : SQLTEST (exsisting)
Table : T (“ T “ is the table existing in SQLTEST database with 10 rows)
Prerequisites in Machine (2):
a)     Oracle 10g software
b)     User account to access SQL Server database (sa/abc@123!)
c)     Existing SQL Server Database (SQLTEST)
d) Tables (testing purpose) (T)
Steps:
1)     Install Oracle 10.2.0.1 (Only SW,No need of database) *(Machine 2)*
2)     Create a DSN where your windows Oracle 10g SW resides *(Machine 2)*
Control panel >> Administrative Tools >> Data Source (ODBC) >> System DSN ADD
You can follow this link also.....
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/oracle/article.php/3442661/Making-a-Connection-from-Oracle-to-SQL-Server.htm
I created DSN as
DSN name : SQLTEST
User : SA/abc@123! (Existing user account)
Host : 192.168.0.175 (machine 2)
Already I have 1 database in SQL Server with the name SQLTEST
You can create DSN with different name also (not same as db name also)
3)     Create a hsodbc init file in $ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin *(Machine 2)*
Create init<DSN NAME> file
Ex: initSQLTEST
Copy inithsodbc to initSQLTEST
And edit
initSQLTEST file
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = SQLTEST    <DSN NAME>*
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF*
save the file....@
4)     Configure Listener.ora *(Machine 2)*
LISTENER_NEW =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.175)(PORT = 1525))

(SERVICE_NAME = SQLTEST))
(HS=OK)
:> tnsping SQLTEST11
If No errors then conti….
6)     Configure a file *(Machine 1)*
Cd $TNS_ADMIN ($ORACLE_HOME/network/admin)
Create a file
$ vi TEST_abcdbt_ifile.ora

Service Accounts for Browser Services and FD Launcher (Full-text Search)

I am setting up SQL Failover Clustering (Version: 2012SP1) on Windows 2012. There are 2 options to configure the service account for Browser Services and FD Launcher :
Option 1) Using separate domain accounts, as what I have done for DB Engine and SQL Agent.
Option 2) accept the default, which is local service for
browser, and virtual account for
FD Launcher. Per documentation URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx
which is the recommended one? is it option 2?
There is security note on above URL as well, but does not clearly mention that option 1 is not recommended.
Security Note: Always run SQL Server services by using the lowest possible user rights. Use a
MSA or
virtual account when possible. When MSA and virtual accounts are not possible, use a specific low-privilege user account or domain account instead of a shared account for SQL Server services. Use separate accounts for different SQL Server services. Do not
grant additional permissions to the SQL Server service account or the service groups. Permissions will be granted through group membership or granted directly to a service SID, where a service SID is supported.

Hi Luo Donghua,
In SQL Server Brower, the default logon account is NT Authority\Local service and cannot be changed during SQL Server setup.SQL Server Browser is not a clustered resource and does
not support failover from one cluster node to the other. SQL Server Browser should be installed and
turned on for each node of the cluster. SQL Server Browser should be run in the security context of a low privileged user to minimize exposure to a malicious attack.
You can change the account after the setup has been completed; For more information, see:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh510203.aspx.
In SQL Server full text filter daemon launcher, on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, the FDHOST Launcher service account also defaults to LOCAL SERVICE. If you provide a domain account in which to run the FDHOST Launcher service, we highly recommend
that you use a low privilege account. On Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2 , we use Virtual Account or Managed Service account(MSA) in FD Launcher . We also need to note the account you used for
FD Launcher should be different from the account that you use for the SQL Server service. For more information, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281953(v=sql.100).aspx
So I recommend you use the option 2 to configure the service account for Browser Services and FD Launcher.

Best option for website plus SQL Server?

Best option for website plus SQL Server?
OPTION 1: Azure website + SQL VM
OPTION 2: Azure website + SQL VM within Virtual Network
OPTION 3: Website VM + SQL VM both within Virtual Network
Pros/cons of each? I’m looking there SIMPLEST solution so long as also SECURE.
Thanks.

Hi,
With Azure web sites, you don't have to manage Virtual Machines, network load balancers, or deployment infrastructure yourself. All of these capabilities are built in and provided by the Azure Websites service.
It depends on you. Personally, the easiest way would be creating an Azure Web site and using a SQL Azure database associated with the site.
If you want to use a SQL VM as a database server, I recommend you to create it in a virtual network as it is supported for integration between your Azure virtual network and the Azure Websites:

Error 17058 Unable to start a service account on MSSQLServer and SQL Agent

hi
I am intalling SQL 2008 standard with SP1 on a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2.
I installed as "local service account" for MSSQLServer (SQL database engine) and SQL agent.
But I want to change to "service account" as [domain\svc_XXX] for MSSQLserver and SQL agent.
I add the [domain\svc_XXX] in local security policy - "Log as a service"
and also add in SSMS - Security - New Login (windows authentication.
When I started the MSSQLserver and SQL agent using the [domain\svc_XXX], I got an error 17058. Initerrlog: could not open error log file." Operating system error=3 (The system cannot find the path specified).
I don't know where else to look at..
Also, how do I find the cumulative service pack for SQL server 2008 standard?
thanks
Irene

Hi Irene:
By seeing your error message "When I started the MSSQLserver and SQL agent using the [domain\svc_XXX],
I got an error 17058. Initerrlog: could not open error log file." Operating system error=3 (The system cannot find the path specified)."
Please provide access to domain\svc_XXX on
log file directory.
Thanks,
Satish Kumar.
