DAG 2013SP1: adding the database copy

Hello!
After adding DAG members (according to http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2013-dag-database-copies/) I was going to add a database copy to the DAG (as per this explanation: http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2013-dag-database-copies/) but failed to
find "Add database copy command":
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Hi,
Please use the Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy command to add a mailbox database copy to check result.
Please check the application log to see if there is any related error message.

A/P Invoice Vendor Ref Number Field updating after adding the Invoice Copy

Hi All,
              I am able to change the Vendor Reference number in A/P Invoice Document after adding the Document. I want to restrict this to happen. Plzz help how to do this????
Regards,
Sree.

1.The Modify Posted A/P Documents authorization refers to some fields only, e.g. the Due Date or Pay to address.
2. Additional authorization can be defined only for full forms, not for fields.
3. The SP Joseph suggests will refuse those modifications when the Vendor ref is empty.
To avoid modifying the Vendor ref you can use this code:
IF @Object_type = N'18' and @transaction_type = N'U'
BEGIN
declare @li int
set @li=
(select max(t.LogInstanc)
   from ADOC t
   where t.ObjType=18 and t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
IF
   (select isnull(t.NumAtCard,'')
    from ADOC t
    where t.ObjType=18 and t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del
      and t.LogInstanc=@li-1)
!=(select isnull(t.NumAtCard,'')
   from OPCH t
   where t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
begin
Set @error = 10
Set @error_message = N'Vendor refernce not modifiable !'
end
END
Or if you want to allow modifying an unfilled reference, then this:
IF @Object_type = N'18' and @transaction_type = N'U'
BEGIN
declare @li int
declare @pref nvarchar(100)
set @li=
(select max(t.LogInstanc)
   from ADOC t
   where t.ObjType=18 and t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
set @pref=
(select isnull(t.NumAtCard,'')
    from ADOC t
    where t.ObjType=18 and t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del
      and t.LogInstanc=@li-1)
If @pref !='' and @pref !=
(select isnull(t.NumAtCard,'')
   from OPCH t
   where t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
begin
Set @error = 10
Set @error_message = N'Filled vendor refernce not modifiable !'
end
END

Moving the mailbox database copy from one exchange server to another exchange server 2010 DAG

Hello Team
is it possible to the move the passive copy of database and logs from one server to another exchange server in the same DAG with out removing and deleting the mailbox database copies in exchange 2010
normaly procedure is
Remove the mailbox database copies and manually delete the .edb files and logs from the physical location and re-add the mailbox database copy to the new server in the DAG.
is that any way to achieve to move the passive database copy to another exchange 2010 server in the same DAG ?

From your note, you appear to have a two-member DAG (with a server hosting your active database, and a second hosting the passive copy), and you want to move your passive database copy from the current passive server to another. Your note
about what "the normal procedure is" isn't 100% correct - there are many ways to handle this task, and all can be considered "normal". Why not just add the third server to the DAG and
add a database copy on that third server? Once it is fully seeded, you can remove the current passive copy. This way, you never lose your redundancy.
Yes i can add the third and fourth serve in DAG , but i cannot add the mailbox database copies to the 3rd and 4th mailbox server in DAG as am using RTM version of exchange 2010 which is allowing to have only 5 database inclding mailbox datbase copies
and also currently my lab setup is two member dag (with a server hosting your active database,
and a second hosting the passive copy) in the same site named SITE A
and recently i have created new SITE B and included the 3rd and 4th DAG members in the same DAG
i want the mailbox database copies from the mailbox server database in SITE A to
Mailbox server database in SITE B as passive copy
That is why i want to move the mailbox database without deleting / removing it manually
Hope you understand my situation!

How to Create a database copy and specify the source database.

Hello,
In my dag environment I would like to create a new database copy and specify the source. My company has database copies in 2 locations. Instead of transferring the data from one location to the other, I would like to specify the source be the copy that is
in the same location.
Thank you,
~Mark

Hi,
We can create a mailbox database, then run EMC and EMS to create a database copy.
More details about Add a Mailbox Database Copy, for your reference:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298080(v=exchg.141).aspx
Note: please pay attention to Prerequisites section, for example:
1. The specified Mailbox server must not already host a copy of the specified mailbox database.
2. The server hosting the specified database and the server that will host the database copy must both be in the same database availability group (DAG). The DAG must also have quorum and be healthy.

Mailbox Database Copy Status Failed

We have 2 Exchange 2010 servers. We run a DAG. Recently I have noticed that database copy DB2 which is located on Exch-1 is showing "Failed". Database copy DB1 which is located on Exch-2 is showing Healthy. I searched online
for information regarding the issue with the failed database copy. I found information that led me to run these commands.
Suspend-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity “Mailbox Database XXXXX\Server Name”
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity “Mailbox Database XXXXX\Server Name” -DeleteExistingFiles
It went thru the seeding process and completed but the database copy still shows "Failed". Copy Q Length is 19. I have refreshed the console. What else do I need to do to correct this? I did recently shut down Exch-2 server
for maintenance. thanks

Hi,
It's glade to hear the good news. Thanks for your updating.

Microsoft Exchange Server/Exchange 2010/Mailbox/Database Copy Mounted

Good Morning everyone!!!
I Have SCOM 2007 R2 CU5 Envoirnment and i am monitoring Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP1 Messaging infrastracture,
I have Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP1 Monitoring MP, MP version is 14.2.71.0.
Case:-
When exchange is having issue with DAG, SCOM monitoring rule:- KHI: The database copy is not mounted on the local server. Another database copy may be mounted on a different server.
is generating the alert but alert Description is only " _ef4a8515_1cc0_48a9_aa12_92ba059a6eae_ " and rest of the things are blank
and because of this ticketing team is unable to process these alerts,
Impact:-
Whenever DAG is unavailable, messaging team is not getting notification and because of this. Exchange services are failing down,
Does anyone having this kind of issues on their exchange environment?
I am looking solution for this issue, please let me know if anyone is aware about this.

Database Copy size

Dear
We make Exchange Designs for more than a decade now. We always use the storage calculator as a second opinion tool. The Exchange 2013 storage calculator always calculates the database copy size 1.5 times the active Database. However, comparing both, the active
and the copy on a production DAG, both do have the same size? I think this 1.5 factor is not necessary, even not OK. Because that means that you should make your Active database storage a large as the calculated database copy storage size. You need to be able
to switch from active/copy to copy/active.
So, why is the database copy size 1.5 times the active database when using the storage calculator?
Regards.

Not sure I follow. There are a lot of components and factors in the Exchange 2013 storage calc. For example, if you are talking DB copies, Content Indexing, and Transaction Logs of a passive copy on the same disk & has a truncation
fault tolerance & designated LAG, then I would expect disk requirements to be different than a totally different configuration. Feel free to share your calc example.
Be sure that you are using the latest version of the calc; it does update and there are fixes.

Both DAG indexes for a database failed

Hi all, looking for a suggestion on how I might be able to resolve this indexing issue.
We've got a two node Exchange 2013 DAG. On the primary copy of the database, the index keeps failing and restarting its crawl. On the secondary copy, the node is showing that the index is Failed and Suspended.
We'd stopped the search services and blown away the index folder for the DB on the mounted copy and let the crawl resume, but after a while we'll see it fail and then resume still. Looking at the High Availability > Seeding logs, event 1112 is getting
logged every few minutes or more:
Automatic Reseed Manager has detected a content indexing error for database 'DB06'. The catalog may be corrupted and will be reseeded automatically. contentIndexError: The content index of old schema version 1. Newer version 12 is available.
Indexes on all other databases are healthy.
So I need to figure out the best possible way to recover the indexes for this database. I can't fail over to the secondary node with a failed index, but it looks like I could force it if I have to. I haven't yet tried deleting the index on the secondary
copy, and my suspicion is trying to reseed off the mounted copy will just be bad for the secondary copy. And the schema error concerns me too.
Any suggestions on how best to resolve this?

The only error I'm seeing is event 1009 in the Application log:

   at Microsoft.Exchange.Search.Engine.SearchRootController.ExecuteComplete(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
Other than that, as it crawls the index before failing, I see it cycling through tmp files, two or three at a time. Each one changes out and it keeps going until it fails. I don't recall seeing this happen with indexes before, this is pretty new to me.

Javascript error in BEx after system database copy

Hello,
we made a database copy of our BW 3.1 system on another hardware. After having done everything described in the How-To-Guide "Enable SAP BW Web functionality", we called the BEx via URL. The login screen displays and also the Report menu, but there occur JavaScript errors on the page, that didn't occur in the copy master. E.g.
"SAPBWSSgdo is null or not an object" or
"SAPBWItemCatalog undefined".
These errors prevent the choice menu for BW report value options to be displayed, which is quite annoying. Does anybody know where the error might come from? Are there any components required by BEx which weren't copied with the database copy?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Volker Hofmann

Hi Beat,
thanks you're helping me! The MIME-Repository objects like JS-Files, stylesheets and images can be read. The strange thing is:
The J2EE engine is hosted by a provider. When they're calling the BEx web reports, they're displayed correctly. But when we call them (via proxy!), the error occurs. Even the application management doesn't know where the error comes from, after having checked if the proxy caches old data. The error is still not resolved...
Do you have another idea?
Regards,
Volker

How to recovery the database from a complete backup

I have a 10.2.0.3 database with archive log enabled.
I do a cold backup of database every Sunday night.
I shutdown the database, copy all the database files, control files and redo logs to a backup disk.
Then the database started and running again.
I am trying to test my backup and make sure I can recovery the database to the most current stage using the Sunday backup and the archive logs.
for example: use the backup from 4/01/2012, recover the database to today 4/04/2012 9:00am.
What's the steps of doing this?
I tried to copy all the Sunday backup files to the correct location, start the database, the database is started successfully. However, I don't know how to apply the logs from since the Sunday backup upto now.
Thanks a lot!

hi,
rman is your friend to do backups, restores and recovers of database.
to do a full recover of database, for example to do a test on your current test database (no in crash):
rman time:
startup nomount;
restore controlfile;
alter database mount;
sql now
select archivelog_change#-1 from v$database;
then go back to rman and do the following :
RMAN> run{
2> set until scn xxxxxx;
3> restore database;
4> recover database;
5> alter database open resetlogs;
6> }
**where xxxxx is the result of your sql query

--edit:
forgot to told that You will need to set your ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID env variables

Cannot add mailbox database copy to DR site - .edb file not getting created

I have a DR site setup that I want copies of 4 of my mailbox databases. 3 of the mailbox databases copied over successfully but the last and largest one which is really not that large 69Gbs keeps failing when i Update the database copy. Seems
to not be creating the .edb file. Is there another way to get the .edb file over to the server, possibly manually copying it then doing and update database copy? I have my backups turned off on all the servers that have the mailbox role on it now
thinking that was causing some issues with the database copy? Any suggestions is appreciated, thanks.
Michael Duhon

Yes manually copy the edb file and paste them in the DR server . Then try to update with for the incremental of database copy. Verify the database is clean shutdown that you are moving to the DR site.

Database copy seeding fails

Hi,
I am trying to add a mailbox database copy from server1 to server2. Every time after seeding the status of the second copy is shown as 'Failed'. In the event log i can see one error message as given below :
The required log file 374413 for BInew\EX02 is missing on the active copy. If you removed the log file, please replace it. If the log file is lost, the database copy will need to be reseeded using Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy.
I have tried reseeding many times both from console and shell.
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity "Binew\EX02" -DeleteExistingFiles
Is this the reason for the replication getting failed.I have never deleted any log file from server1.
Please help!

Hello,
You may run the following cmdlets one by one:
Suspend-MailboxDatabaseCopy <databaseName>\<ReplicaServerName>
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy <databaseName>\<ReplicaServerName> -SourceServer <ActiveServerName> -DeleteExistingFiles:$True
Resume-MailboxDatabaseCopy <databaseName\<ReplicaServerName>
