HELP ME!!! I have a problem regarding SQL Server 2008 R2 Replication! :((((

Good day!
I'm having a big problem in my SQL Server 2008 R2... I can't see the "Local Publication" under the Replication...
About not installing it, I guess that's not true because I checked all the features to install.
Is this a bug? Do I need to re-install my SQL Server 2008 R2? Or simply, do I need to do something simple without re-installing it?
PLEASE HELP....
See Link below:
http://oi59.tinypic.com/4jx3y1.jpg

None. This is a freshly installed SQL Server 2008 R2. After installing, All I did was create a database.
If you want to know how I did it, simply:
1. Open SSMS, connect to local server
2. Open Object Explorer
3. Expand your local server
4. Right+Click on the Database then clicked on to "New Database..."
5. Entered my database name then clicked "OK"

Local Network Connection Problem with SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi,
I have CRM application which uses SQL server 2008. Weird thing is that I have no problems connecting from client machines to the server when using a particular router (via LAN) and when I upgrade the firmware of the same router (A common open source firmware
which is used by many also works perfect apart from mentioned problem) and restart the server, the connection cannot be established. I get Error 40.
When i downgrade the firmware and restart the server, the connection works again.
Please note that I am absolutely not touching any configuration of the server. Also the CRM software allows remote connections from public IPs which this feature works fine with both downgraded and upgraded firmwares.
As for my understanding, the routers do not block ports in LAN connections. So how can I diagnose the reason for this connection problem?

Hi Leony83,
Please also help to check Windows Event Log information regarding this issue, so that we can do further investigation. In additin, here is the general steps to troubleshoot SQL Server Error 40 issue. Please see:

Problems with SQL server 2008 nvarchar type to varchar in oracle.

Hello
I did an Heterogeneous Connectivity between SQL server 2008 db and Oracle 11g, so far so good, but when i try to view colum data on RPD (only varchar type) i only see the first character of the string.
One more thing, when i try to see the data on Oracle SQL developer i get some strange characters, like when we have the wrong character encoding on our browser.
Some print to illustrate the problem.
Oracle SQL developer query:
http://postimg.org/image/5cvyqw6ih/
Microsoft SQL developer query :
http://postimg.org/image/skddx991f/
RPD printscreen :
http://postimg.org/image/aok2337cp/
SQLplus (as you can see the are spaces between the characters ) :
http://postimg.org/image/664xw1xjh/
To finish the data will be use to build an mobile app with oracle mobile app designer.
Thank you

The spaces you see between the characters when using the gateway indicate a wrong charset is being used.
1. Which gateway are you using - DG4MSQL or Dg4ODBC?
2. Could you please post the gateway init file and just in case it is DG4ODBC also the odbc.ini file
3. What's the character set of the Oracle database?
4. Looks like you're connected using Putty to a Unix box - what is the Putty NLS setting?
5. What is the NLS setting when starting SQL*Plus and what is the LOCALE setting?
6. Was a NLS_LANG parameter set when the gateway was started? Please change in your gateway init file the HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL to DEBUG, then run again the query and post it to a share.
=> There's a note that guides you step by step to configure the gateway and your env correctly - please have a look at:

Problem uninstalling SQL Server 2008 r2

Hi,
when trying to unistall SQL Server 2008 R2, the unistaller returns error "long path names to files on sql server installation media not applicable", and the I can`t continue the unistallation process.

There is no complete way to remove the whole setup of Sql server and you can set up Sql server 2008 R2 within a new Windows OS instead of trying to uninstall it.
Many Thanks & Best Regards, Hua Min
Totally irrelevant answer please consider and think a lot before writing such replies. You are saying one should not uninstall SQL server but instead create a new instance which IMO is totally wrong answer.
Pavel,

SQL Server 2008 R2 Replication - not applying snapshot and not updating all repliacted columns

We are using transactional replicating on SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) using a remote distributor. We are replicating from BaanLN, which is an ERP application to up to 5 subscribers, all using push publications.
Tables can range from a couple million rows to 12 million rows and 100's of GBs in size.
And it's due to the size of the tables that it was designed with a one publisher to one table architecture.
Until recently it has been working very smooth (last four years)) but we have come across two issues I have never encountered.
While this has happen a half dozen times before, it last occurred a couple weeks ago when I was adding three new publications, again a one table per publication architecture.
We use standard SS repl proc calls to create the publications, which have been successful for years.
On this occasion replication created the three publications, assigned the subscribers and even generated the new snapshot for all three new publications.
However, while it appeared that replication had created all the publications correctly from end to end, it actually only applied one of the three snapshot and created the new table on both of the new subscribers (two on each of the
publications). It only applied the snapshot to one of the two subscribers for the second publications, and did not apply to any on the third.
I let it run for three hours to see if it was a back log issue.
Replication was showing commands coming across when looking at the sync verification at the publisher and
it would even successfully pass a tracer token through each of the three new publications, despite there not being tables on either subscriber on one of the publishers and missing on one of the subscribers on another.
I ended up attempting to reinitialize roughly a dozen times, spanning a day, and one of the two remaining publications was correctly reinitialized and the snapshot applied, but the second of the two (failed) again had the same mysterious result, and
again looked like it was successful based on all the monitoring.
So I kept reinitializing the last and after multiple attempts spanning a day, it too finally was built correctly.
Now the story only get a little stranger. We just found out yesterday that on Friday the 17th
at 7:45, the approximate time started the aforementioned deployment of the three new publications,
we also had three transaction from a stable and vetted publication send over all changes except for a single status column.
This publication has 12 million rows and is very active, with thousands of changes daily.
, The three rows did not replicate a status change from a 5 to a 6.
We verified that the status was in fact 6 on the publisher, and
5 on both subscribers, yet no messages or errors. All the other rows successfully updated.
We fixed it by updating the publication from 6 back to 5 then back to 6 again on those specific rows and it worked.
The CPU is low and overall latency is minimal on the distributor.
From all accounts the replication is stable and smooth, but very busy.
The issues above have only recently started. I am not sure where to look for a problem, and to that end, a solution.

I suspect the problem with the new publication/subscriptions not initializing may have been a result of timeouts but it is hard to say for sure. The fact that it eventually succeeded after multiple attempts leads me to believe this. If this happens
again, enable verbose agent logging for the Distribution Agent to see if you are getting query timeouts. Add the parameters
-OutputVerboseLevel 2 -Output C:\TEMP\DistributionAgent.log to the Distribution Agent Run Agent job step, rerun the agent, and collect the log.
If you are getting query timeouts, try increasing the Distribution Agent -QueryTimeOut parameter. The default is 1800 seconds. Try bumping this up to 3600 seconds.
Regarding the three transactions not replicating, inspect MSrepl_errors in the distribution database for the time these transactions occurred and see if any errors occurred.

SQL SERVER 2008 R2 - REPLICATION BEGINNERS

Hi all Friends,
Am beginner to ms sql 2008 and i have installed sql Express edition and management studio and tried to do replication there some issues i have faced
1) Cant use my host as distributor
2) SQL server agent Edition is running
3)Cant create publisher also
May i know which edition supports for all replication ( Merge,Transactional,Snapshot)
Thankful to repliers

You do not mention what you are replicating to. SQL Server express can only be a merge replication subscriber. If you want to replicate to a SQL Server Standard Edition and above you will need to make the SQL Server Standard Edition server your publisher
and the SQL Server express edition your subscriber and then changes will move from the merge replication subscriber to the publisher and vice versa.
As the SQL Server Express client does not have SQL Server agent, you will need to do a push subscription from the Standard Edition, or run RMO, or a batch file which runs replmerg.exe on the subscriber. You might also be able to run web sychronization.
If the source and destination servers are both SQL Server Express editions you might want to use Sync Services.

Understand SQL Server 2008 R2 replication features for a reporting database

Hi, I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 and working on building a reporting database using transactional push replication and want to know the downside that we should aware of using this.
For instance, is the data always available to the users even when changes are being written from the publisher?
I am also interested in learning replication mechanism & internals. How should I proceed?
Thanks in advance........

Hi all problem with sql server 2008 in sap b1 2005 PL38,42

Hello Sir,
We are also facing this problem. Our client has purchased SQL 2008 & we have installed SAP B1 PL 05 & also we have to upgrade it to PL 26 atleast for installing TDS Add on 4.8 so that Project runs smoothly.
Can u specify the status? i.e. at what stage is that upgradation? or by how much time this problem will be solved? Bcoz we are on the stage of test go live & we cant take back up of database of SQL 2008 & restore it in SQL 2005. We will have to do all settings in new company with database in SQL 2005.
Pls reply at the earliest.

Hi Nilesh,
I wonder how you got B1 installed properly on MSSQL 2008, as MSSQl 2008 comes with a new Native Client connection.
Anyway I see two options:
(1) Keep the system as it is, meaning no upgrades of B1 and pray nothing will happen as long MSSQL Server 2008 is not supported.
(2) In order to get a supported environment the better option would be, to try a combination of CopyExpress and DTW and get all data and settings transfered into a new MSSQL 2005 based Database.
Kind regards

"A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded." + Full-text-index Sql Server 2008 R2 SP1

Hello.
I have a problem with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1:
I have a table with the full-text index-activated on 3 fields of type nvarchar.
When I try to open a transaction (ex: BEGIN TRAN {inserts} COMMIT) to insert multiple rows, I get the following error: "A severe error occurred on the current command ...".
I checked the Sql Server Logs and the Event Viewer on the machine, but nothing was logged.
I found a workaround: disable full-text-index => Do stuff => enable full-text-index, but this is very annoying (especially when i use the Data Compare to update that table on the Development Environment).
Help!!!

I concur with Tom. Upgrade to SP3. This may resolve the issue.
Since you say that there is nothing in the SQL Server errorlog, this may be an API issue. Try running the same commands through the command-line tools SQLCMD or OSQL to see how this turns out.

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.

Moving the log file of a publisher database SQL Server 2008

There are many threads on this here. Most of them not at all helpful and some of them wrong. Thus a fresh post.
This post regards SQL Server 2008 (10.0.5841)
The PUBLISHER database primary log file which is currently of 3 blocks and not extendable,
must be moved as the LUN is going away.
The database has several TB of data and a large number of push transactional replications as well as a couple of bi-directional replications.
While the primary log file is active, it is almost never (if ever) used due to its small fixed size.
We are in the 20,000 TPS range at peak (according to perfmon). This is a non-trivial installation.
This means that
backup/restore is not even a remotely viable option (it never is in the real world)
downtime minimization is critical - measured in minutes or less.
dismantling and recreating the replications is doable, but I have to say, I have zero trust in the script writer to generate accurate scripts. Many of these replications were originally set up in older versions of SQL Server and have come along for the
ride as upgrades have occurred. I consider scripting everything and dismantling the whole lot pretty high risk. In any case, I do not want to have to reinitialize any replications as this takes, effectively, an eternity.
Possible solution:
The only option I can think of is to wind down everything, such that there are zero outstanding uncommitted transactions and detach the database, delete the offending log file and reattach using the CREATE DATABASE xyz ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG option.
This should, if I have understood things correctly, cause SQL Server to recreate the default log file in the same directory as the .mdf file. I am not sure what will happen to the secondary log file which is not moving anywhere at this point.
The hard bit is insuring that every transaction in the active log files have been replicated before shutdown. This is probably doable. I do not know how to manually flush any left over transactions to replication. I expect if I shut down all "real"
activity and wait for a certain amount of time, eventually all the replications will show "No replicated transactions are available" and then I would be good to go.
Hillary, if you happen to be there, comments appreciated.

Hi Philip
you should try this long back suggested way of stopping replication and restore db and rename or detach attach

I do not wish to be rude, but which part of the OP didn't you understand?
Specifically the bit about 20,000 transactions a second and database size of several TB. Do you have any concept whatsoever of what this means? I will answer for you, "no, you are clueless" as your answer clearly shows.
Stop wasting bandwidth by proposing pointless and wrong solutions which indicate that you did not read the OP, or do you just do this to generate points?
Also, you clearly failed to notice that I was on the thread to which you referred, and I had some pointed comments to make. This thread was an attempt to garner some input for an alternative proposal.

MS SQL Server 2008 Migrating to Oracle 11.2g

Hi.........
Can any body help me how to migrate the MS SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11.2g. Plz do needful ASAP.
Thanks in Advance.
Ranjith

Ranjith,
You can use the SQL*Developer migration workbench to migrate from SQL*Server to Oracle. It is free to download and use.
You can download SQL*Developer from here -
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/overview/index.html
then there is information on migration from non-Oracle systems here -
Oracle Database Migration Technology
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/migration/index-084442.html
From here there is a link to specific information on migrating SQL*Server -
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/migration/sqlserver-095136.html
Please review this information and if you have any further questions or problems it would be better to ask them in this forum -
Forum: Database and Application Migrations
Database and Application Migrations
One thing I would recommend is that unless the SQL*Server database is very small you make an offline migration. This gives you more control over how it is done and to resolve any problems.

JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 - Panel Dashboard using Data from SQL Server 2008

Hi All,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 and am trying to create a cross application dashboard. This dashboard would show 2 panel's of data from an Oracle Database (Already completed this) and two panel's of data from a SQL Server 2008 Database.
I have successfully installed a SQL Server 2008 database locally on my machine. I have downloaded the JDBC drivers from the Microsoft website and I have two JAR Files:
* sqljdbc.jar
* sqljdbc4.jar
I have created a SQL Server connection within the JDeveloper connections panel and I can successfully query my database.
I have created a New application module and set its connection to a JDBC connection with the credentials specified within the Connections tab. I then added the two JAR files as libraries to the Model project and
ran the Application Module tester. This succesfully shows some records.
Within the View Project I Created a new page and dropped the View Object on as a table. I then go to Run the page and get an error relating to the JDBC drivier not being found. I have read a few posts about adding it to Weblogic lib files and modifying the start up scripts but can anyone give me a definitive working solution? I also tried changing my Application Module to using a DataSource, but I also have the same problem within the Weblogic console (it cannot create a data source for SQL SERVER as it does not have the drivers).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the responses.
I have edited C:\oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\common\bin\commEnv.cmd to add the entries as follows...
set WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%BEA_HOME%\utils\config\10.3\config-launch.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.jar;%FEATURES_DIR%\weblogic.server.modules_10.3.2.0.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\webservices.jar;%ANT_HOME%/lib/ant-all.jar;%ANT_CONTRIB%/lib/ant-contrib.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\sqljdbc.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\sqljdbc4.jar
You can now see the additional entries at the end of the classpath.
The Weblogic home is set as follows set WL_HOME=C:\oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3
I have placed the files in C:\oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\lib
I restarted the server. Logged into the Weblogic console and tried to create a datasource with the Microsoft Drivers but still no luck. I gave the Oracle Microsoft Driver a go and it seemed to work! I'm guessing that there is a driver bundle in.

SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup Very Slow

Hi,
We have a multi-node SQL Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster.
I've noticed that the SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup is extremely slow and that it appears to only be using 1 of the 128 "CPUs" (i.e. in Task Manager).
We use this for creating new cluster groups and alike.
Is this tool only single threaded and is there a way to increase the performance? Our CPUs are 2.something GHz, we have 512GB of RAM and fast local disks.
Thanks

Hello,
What happen if you slipstream the SQL Server 2008 R2 with the latest SQL Server 2008 R2 service pack? Maybe SQL Server setup does better after the slipstream process.

SQL Server 2008 R2 Installation Media Root Directory location for XP SP3?

Where is the SQL Server 2008 R2 Installation Media director? This question asks during a 'new installation or add features to an existing installation'. The installation media root directory is not indicated under 'options'. I trying side-by-side
installation next to SQL Server 2008 Express Edition.
It appears that C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2008R2 (where 1033_ENU_LP, Resources, and x86 dirs are installed) is the installation media root directory, but is is not a valid folder.
Also tried copying the 1033_ENU_LP, Resources, and x86 dirs from the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2008R2 into a directory that I created in c:\2008R2installationDir, and then running setup.exe, but still do not have
an installation media root dir specified under options.

There is no DVD; SQLServer2008R2SP2-KB2630458-x86-ENU.exe was downloaded. This problem occurs when setup.exe is run, after running *ENU.exe to download the files. Specifying the directory where the
SQLServer2008R2SP2-KB2630458-x86-ENU.exe doesn't help.
>>It doesn't seem like any instances have been installed, yet. Nothing shows up under Administrative Toos | Services. Under Start | Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 , there are two choices: Configuration Tools and Documentation&Tutorials.
Hello,
What seems to me that you have downloaded SP2 for SQL server 2008 R2(SQLServer2008R2SP2-KB2630458-x86-ENU.exe ).And as you say you dont find any thing under SQL 2008 r2.So i guess that is why SP2 installation is not moving
ahead.Can you download SQL server 208 R2 setup again and install database engine and ither fetures with client tools.And then you can move ahead with SP2 installation
