Deadlock victim to the server

Hi, all-
One of my users got a red error message at the bottom of her screen when adding an order. She could not write down all of it before the message disappeared, but she got "deadlock victim to the server". SAP did not add her order at this point. She then waited a bit and hit Add again - it then took the order.
What does this message mean? Should I be concerned?
Thanks,
Shelby

Hi Shelby ,
If I were you ,I would be concerned .
I am not sure where to troubleshoot but I would sugeest you to start from sql server
1.Sql server - database -has it increased significantly
if it is shrink the database - use Admininstrative guide
2. If it start occuring , detach and attach your database
3. Make sure your sql server service is started automatically
4. Also issue might be coming from addon if you have some .
Before you do anything ,please make sure you have a full backup and test it in your environment .
Thank you

Is there something that needs to be done in response to deadlock victims?

So, Friday I got a report by one user about an unusual error seen. It appeared to be a one time error that went away when the page refreshed.
I went to the logs, tried to find an associated message to see if there were actions to take.
(Boy, I wish there were a series of books for SP admins that covered all the event and ULS log entries and what action to take to resolve them)
When I got onto one of the farm servers to look at logs, the event log had a number of unusual warnings and errors.
I am taking a look at some of these to see if there is something that needs to be done.
One of the errors - which has occurred 3 times in December - is related to the search software. One says "Foundation Search" and the other two say "Server Search".
So, are these the kinds of things that an admin should just ignore at this noise level (3 in 2 weeks) or is there something that should be done?
The warning is 57 and says that a database error occurred - a transaction was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and was chosen as the deadlock victim.
The first 2 times the application was Search_Service_Application, while the most recent occurrence was
'Search_index_file_on_the_search_server'.

Hi Iwvirden,
Deadlocks on SharePoint databases may cause performance issues in SharePoint.
So if the error occurs on SharePoint content databases and occurs many times, then you need to troubleshoot this issue in SQL:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/grahamk/archive/2009/06/15/troubleshooting-sql-server-deadlocks-and-performance-when-running-sharepoint.aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/christwe/archive/2014/02/06/what-can-i-do-about-the-deadlocks.aspx
If the deadlocks occur on Search databases, then you can ignore them if there are not too many errors.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sharepoint_strategery/archive/2014/02/10/sharepoint-search-and-deadlocks-in-sql-server.aspx
By the way, the errors about search displayed in the ULS log should be checked as these errors may influence your search function.
Best regards.
Thanks

Data Committed instead of Rollback after Deadlock Error in SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2)

We're having a strange issue which is occurring only with one Customer having SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2).
Basically we have multiple threads uploading data and when an error occurs (like deadlock or any other error). The deadlock victim (process/transaction) is rolledback (from .NET). However the rollback command is not reaching SQL Server as it doesn't show
in the trace (through SQL Profiler).
To make things worse, not only the transaction is not being rolled back but the INSERTs executed before the error are being somehow committed, leaving the database in an inconsistent state.
This is only produced in one environment.
Any idea what the issue could be?

All statements are executed with in a Transaction. Under the same scenario this code works perfectly fine for 1000s of customers. Only one customer has this issue.
You need to capture profiler to check transaction scope.

If you have any idea abt this, please let me know. I read bea documents, where
it says its due to insufficient number of connection. But I'm not very positive
abt it. Cause we conducted the test on our develeopement server as we had initial
5 connection and 15 as a max number of connection. We were only 4 person to test
that...Still we got the same err.......???

with weblogic. The issue is a DBMS deadlock, where one DBMS client has locked some
page or database resource (let's call it resource A), and is going to try to lock some other
resource B. Some other DBMS client has already locked resource B, and now wants
to lock resource A. These two DBMS clients are deadlocked, and the DBMS recognises this,
and chooses to kill one client's transaction in order to at least let the other survive.
You should go over your tranasaction logic and DBMS locking to identify the locks
involved in the deadlock, and then decide if you can alter your logic to ensure that
every transaction locks A first, then B. It may also be an artifact of page-level locking,
where one tx may inadvertantly lock logically unrelated data, just because it is on the
same page as the logically relevant stuff.

Query to get the details of Blocking and deadlock occurred for the Day

Hi,
I need a query to get the details of blocking and deadlock occurred for the day.

You havent specified which version of SQL you are using which makes it difficult to give a solution. Assuming its latest versions , by default SQL Server (in any versions) doesnt track blocking information.
You need to run some kind of queries/traces to capture blocking. The same goes with Deadlocks where majority of the DBA's enable trace flag 1222/1205 when they suspect deadlocks happening.
Check this link -
http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/10644/deadlock-error-isnt-returning-the-deadlock-sql/10646#10646
This link gives code to get historic deadlock information. I havent used it , I just googled to get that.
That being said if you are looking for something to capture for the future check the below links.
Check these links on how to setup extended events to capture deadlock and blocking.

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. This failure occured while attempting to connect to the Principle server.

We are using SQL Server 2012.
Every now and then, when we execute the below stored procedure INSERT_INTO_MYTBL, we got the below error, and it returned @ID = 0.
"Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
This failure occured while attempting to connect to the Principle server."
What causes this error, and how can we fix it ?
Thank you.
create procedure INSERT_INTO_MYTBL
@ID int output,
@Order varchar(50) = NULL,
@ACCOUNT varchar(20) = NULL
AS
DECLARE @Success int, @TryNr int, @ErrMsg varchar(500), @ErrNumber int, @expected_id int;
SET @Success = 0;
SET @TryNr = 1;
SET @ErrMsg = ''
WHILE @Success = 0 AND @TryNr <= 3 and @ErrMsg = ''
BEGIN;
BEGIN TRY;
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
retry:
BEGIN TRY;
SELECT @expected_id = ident_current('myTbl') + 1
SELECT @order = @account + '-' + CAST(@expected_id AS varchar(50))
insert into myTbl
([Order],ACCOUNT)
values
(@Order,@ACCOUNT)
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH;
SELECT @ErrNumber = ERROR_NUMBER()
IF @ErrNumber = 2627
BEGIN;
GOTO retry
END;
ELSE
BEGIN;
SET @ErrMsg = '1.' + ERROR_MESSAGE() + ' ' + @order
RAISERROR (@ErrMsg, 16, 1);
END;
END CATCH
select @ID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
IF @id <> @expected_id
BEGIN
UPDATE myTbl
SET [Order] = @ACCOUNT + '-' + CAST(@ID AS varchar(50))
WHERE ID = @ID
END
SET @Success = 1
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH;
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION;
SELECT @ErrNumber = ERROR_NUMBER()
IF @ErrNumber = 1205
BEGIN;
SET @TryNr = @TryNr + 1;
IF @TryNr > 3
RAISERROR ('Giving up after 3 consecutive deadlocks for %s', 16, 1,@ACCOUNT);
END;
ELSE
BEGIN;
SET @ErrMsg = '2.' + ERROR_MESSAGE() + ' ' + @order
RAISERROR (@ErrMsg, 16, 1);
END;
END CATCH;
END;

When the problem occurs, the stored procedure returns @ID = 0, which I think means the query
When the problem occurs, the procedure does not return anything. SQL Server was told to stop executing. Furthermore, unless you issue the command SET XACT_ABORT ON, SQL Server will not roll back any open transaction. Which is one more reason you should not
permit command timeouts.
As for why this procedure sometimes take a long time, I would primarily suspect locking. When this occurs (but before the timeout elapses!), you could use my beta_lockinfo to see if there is any blocking going on. You find it here:

*Adding new items/removing orphans*
Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s slow at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.
You may need to amend the list of file types these programs look for. My list includes:
.mp3 .mp4 .m4a .m4b .m4p .m4v .mov .wav .aif .mid .ipa .ipg .ite .itlp .m4r .pdf
Note the last 6 types may not be recognised as already being in the library so should either be omitted from the search or you can add (at least for Folder Watch) individual exclusions for files you know are already in your library.

How can I set up a new account without auto deleting messages on the server?

Ive got accounts on COMCAST.NET (are those imap accounts?) and when I created a user account on Thunderbird for one of them the autocreate process immedaitely started downloading messages from my server before I was able to set the "keep messages on server" flag. (Its been a few months, forgive me if I am not using the exact right option text but you get the idea.)
How can I create a Thunderbird account that will download all the message on my server (comcast.net) and leave them all there?
That's the only thing keeping me from switching to Thunderbird. Please help - comcast's online web client is not the most bug free thing in the world.
(Note, I am setting up a new win7 system, had been using OE 6 on winXP. I assume I am better off trying this than running OE in XP in a virtual window - and even if I moved my old message bases from XP I still need to create an account that won't immediately start downloading/deleting messages from my server before I can configure it not to.)
Any help appreciated.

Comcast only offers POP accounts, and one way to set up the account and enter all the settings before it connects to the mail server, might be to do it Offline:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991539#answer-547878

How do I stop iCal from changing the server path of CalDAV accounts?

I'm using Davical as a calendar server for our family. Some may wonder why I use Davical and not iCloud. I do for one reason...there is no way to disable getting other users' alarms on the iPhone. I want to be able to view my wife's calendar but not get her alarms and have her be able to view my calendar and not get my alarms.
So, now onto the issue with server path setting changing in iCal. We each have our own calendar set up within our own accounts on our Davical server. We each have read access to the other's calendar. Within iCal account settings I have her account set up on my Mac with my username/password (jason/****) and, under server settings, the server path points to her calendar /caldav.php/juiper/). After a few days, sometimes just a few hours, suddenly I will have duplicate events throughout my calandar in iCal. Going to preferences I will see that the server path for her calendar will have been changed to the location of my calendar (/caldav.php/jason/). I'll correct the server path, restart iCal and then the calander will be correct for a while unitl the server path is automatically and incorrectly changed again and I must manually correct it again.
Thanks!

My coworkers and I use DavMail to share access to a shared Exchange calendar, authenticating with our own ADS credentials. We also see the behavior where iCal will reset the CalDav calendar path to the username (our own) that is authenticating to the CalDav service. In Lion this wasn't a deal breaker for us. While very annoying, the work around was simple. Update the path via preferences, and restart iCal. However in Mountain Lion, the issue has become a lot more difficult to fix. It's no longer a matter of updating the path via preferences and restarting.
In Mountain Lion the solution to change the CalDav path back to the original path requires you to edit the file ~/Library/Calendars/<somehash>.caldav/Info.plist
Contained within this file is a value "CalendarHomePath", simply update the string to your desired path, clear out the 'Calendar Cache' file for good measure, then restart iCal.

How can I create a fIlter to delete only "junk" from the server?

One of my E-mail accounts is that of a major client. I handle their customer service online. Normally our protocol is to always leave all messages on the server, so for that one Thunderbird account, I have it set to never delete messages on the server.
But the account recently started getting a lot of junk messages. Thunderbird is doing a remarkable job at marking those and placing them in the junk folder for that account. I would like to create a filter that could remove them from the server, preferably those more than "x" days old so I could monitor the activity to be sure that no important message are removed.
I did notice that in "Filters" I can create a custom filter from a header of my choice, but can't seem to create what I want which is:
- after mail is marked as Junk by Thunderbird to delete those messages from the server if they are older than "X" days (my choice of "X").
- not delete any other messages from the server for that account

I believe that did it! Thank you. I am running those changes on a secondary E-Mail address for the same job and server and it appears to be working properly.

I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
many times and cannot connect to my local DB.
How do I connect to my Local DB?
Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated.
Some of the things I have tried:
From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR
net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
