How to create backup maintenance plan for SQL 2014

Depending on your backup product, it may include a hot backup for SQL - check that too

I need to create a basic maintenance plan that backs up our DB nightly and also need some pointers on any other maintenance that should be done would be great. Obviously I'm very new to using SQL, trying to get my feet wet.

You can use the following accessible transactions to process your organizational plan:
Transaction     Name of Transaction
PPO5                     Change Attributes
PPO6                     Display Attributes

Maintenance plan for SQL Server 2012 Database in AlwaysOn Availability Group

Hi all,
I need assistance creating a maintenance plan that will backup a databases logs in order to prevent them from filling up the drive they are located on. I have looked at some blogs but they do not specifically show how this is done.
My database is in an AlwaysOn Availability Group.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi all,
I need assistance creating a maintenance plan that will backup a databases logs in order to prevent them from filling up the drive they are located on. I have looked at some blogs but they do not specifically show how this is done.
My database is in an AlwaysOn Availability Group.
Regular maintenance plan would work. Only thing to remember is that when you create log backup plan, there is a checkbox which says whether it should honor backup preference or not.

Backup Maintenance Plan on SQL AlwaysOn Availability Group Secondary Read-Only node

I have 3 node SQL 2012 AlwaysOn Availability nodes with the 3rd node as Read-Only.
The backup job within SQL Maintenance plan is failing with the following error:
Failed:(-1073548784) Executing the query "declare @backupSetId as int
select @backupSetId =..." failed with the following error: "Cannot open backup device 'C:\\SQLDBName_backup_2014_06_08_170156_9292095.bak'. Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.).
VERIFY DATABASE is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I have verified the SQL AlwaysOn Backup preference to be "Prefer Secondary"
Is there any special steps/settings I need to do to setup and run the backups using maintenance plan in SQL AlwaysOn?

How to create a deployment plan for an existing application?

Using WebLogic 10MP1.
I have an existing EAR deployment, and I want to create a deployment plan so I can make changes to it without changing the EAR file itself. My goal is to change the value of the "precompile" flag in all the web modules.
I've read the documentation on creating deployment plans, and it doesn't seem like it's doing anything. That is, I was able to run "weblogic.PlanGenerator" from the command line, but that's about my only success.
The doc says that if you make a change to the app config and save it, that will prompt for a place to save the deployment plan. This seems odd, as I'm pretty sure I've never seen a prompt like that before. It didn't happen for me. As a test, I tried changing the "Deployment Order" field. I activated it, and then I changed it back and activated that. No deployment plan prompt.
I then read that if there is a "plan" subdirectory off the application root containing the deployment plan, WebLogic will use that at deployment. So, I created a "plan" subdir in my EAR tree, put the generated (from "weblogic.PlanGenerator") plan there, and restarted. I didn't notice any log message about the plan, and when I logged into the console to check the "Deployment Plan" tab on the deployment ("Tuning Parameters" subtab), it says "No variables present".
I must be missing some simple detail.

In case anyone else ever has this problem, I've been able to resolve this.
I used "weblogic.planGenerator" on the command line to get a deployment plan to start with. The obstacle I had was actually finding the "Update" button. For some reason I had thought this button the docs refer to was on the "Deployment Plan" tab in the configuration of the deployment. It's actually on the list of the deployments, and is active when the deployment you want to configure is checked.
Once I got there, I was able to enter the path to my deployment plan, which I edited to produce the result I wanted (turning on "precompile" on most of the modules). Once I stored all that and restarted my server, I was able to verify that the server was precompiling on deployment (although it's hard to tell if I don't have any JSP compile errors. :) ).

Maintenance plan for Mirror database

HI All
How do we implement Maintenance plan for high safety Database mirroring?
We have Server A (Principal)and server B (Mirror) and we created maintenance plan on principal server and this maintenance plan have 3 sub plans plan full backup schedule daily plan 2 log backup every 10 minutes and plan 3 purge the full backup files
,log backup files and log history if older then 2 weeks . All jobs are running fine in principal sever .but how to run theses after fail over by agent?
My client accept maintenance plan, other wise i will create the jobs with tsql script on both server ,will enable on server where database is principal
Please help it very urgent.
Vanchan

Hi Vanchan,
As described in this
article, when preparing the mirror server to take over the role of principal in the event of a failover, we need to copy maintenance plans from the principal server to the mirror server.
About how to copy maintenance plans from one Server to other, please follow the steps in the blog below.

How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?

1. How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?
When multiple tables are involved , and the actual number of rows returned is more than what the explain plan tells. How can I find out what change is needed in the stat plan ?
2. Does rowsource statistics gives some kind of understanding of Extended stats ?

You can get Row Source Statistics only *after* the SQL has been executed. An Explain Plan midway cannot give you row source statistics.
To get row source statistics either set STATISTICS_LEVEL='ALL' in the session that executes theSQL OR use the Hint "gather_plan_statistics" in the SQL being executed.
Then use dbms_xplan.display_cursor

Maintenance plan for backup executes endlessly.

Hi All,
I have a maintenance plan for a full back which is scheduled to run once every night. It has been running quite peacefully with out any error and usually takes 50min average. But Now(the last three days), it starts executing but never completes. I tried
to run sp_who2 and saw a block when the execution reaches at a specific database. I stopped the execution, killed the spid on the 'Blk By' and then restarted the execution but same problem show up again. Whats going on? Any ideas?
Thanks.

-So as you told me i ran the sp_readerrorlog and found the below message. Looks like a virtual device kind of a things . . . .
2014-04-03 09:20:24.280 spid148 BackupVirtualDeviceFile::RequestDurableMedia: Flush failure on backup device '(local)_AAA_DEV_SQL_Database-SQL_Database-1396486800084#11-3006-SQL'.
Operating system error 995(The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an applicat.
And last night i tried to change the schedule at which the job is running and it worked well for today
but i think its not going to be like this today or on the weekends. So i couldn't see any block.
Thanks.
Tina
VIRTUAL_DEVICE generally means here that anything which is not local or shared disk.Like thrid taking party tool backup on tape or VSS backups which kind of take snapshot backup.If youo say that no Third party toll is involved and you dont want any
VSS backups please disable SQL Server VSS writer service.This will stop the VSS backups.Or as you suggested ,if you want VS backups ,you can schedule your backup at different time.
>>And last night i tried to change the schedule at which the job is running and it worked well for today
I guess I am correct about VSS backups interfereing your regular backup.
PS: Since you killed the thread you got message like below
BackupVirtualDeviceFile::RequestDurableMedia: Flush failure on backup device '(local)_AAA_DEV_SQL_Database-SQL_Database-1396486800084#11-3006-SQL'. Operating system error 995(The I/O operation has been

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!
I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Maintenance plans for Backward counter

Is it possible for having a preventive maintenance plan for a measurement point that counts backwards?
Your inputs on this will be appreciated!

Help !
I am looking for help with Counters and Timers and using them with a Maintenance Plan. We have about 10 count down timers mounted in one of our facilities. These timers are tied to the machine and measures the time until a mini or major PM will occur. These count down timers were previously used with the old CMMS system to assist in the scheduling of maintenance activities. We have recently converted them from the old CMMS to SAP PM but I am struggling with getting the count down timers to work in SAP. These timers are reset at 5000 hrs and as the machine operates, time is removed from the timer. A technician periodically reports these times to the system for scheduling purposes.
I have created the Measurement Point for a Functional Location.
I have identified that it is a counter.
I have it identified that it Counts Backwards.
When I try to assign this measurement point to a Maintenance Plan, I get the error "Only counters that run forwards can be entered"
How can I use the countdown timers to create pre configured (PM) work orders?
Thanks in advance.

How to create a custom measure for each level of a dimension

Hi all!
Can Anyone please explain me with an example, how to create a custom measure for each level for a dimension? I dont mine if you use
one or more measures.
thanks in advance
hope someone helps me.

For example:I create a dimension for product_dim witch has 4 levels:total, class, family and item:
d_aben18
n1_aben18
n2_aben18
n3_aben18
n4_aben18
herarchy:h_aben18
cube:cubo_aben18
measure:med_aben18
I create this code to fetch the data to the dimension:
TRAP ON CLEANUP
SQL DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR SELECT-
total_product_id,1,'N1_ABEN18',total_product_dsc,-
class_id,1,'N2_ABEN18',total_product_id,class_dsc,-
family_id,1,'N3_ABEN18', class_id, family_dsc,-
item_id,1,'N4_ABEN18',family_id,item_dsc-
FROM PRODUCT_DIM
"OPEN THE CURSOR
SQL OPEN c1
"FETCH THE DATA
SQL FETCH c1 LOOP INTO-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N1_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N2_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N3_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N4_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
"SAVE THE CHANGES
UPDATE
COMMIT
CLEANUP:
SQL CLOSE c1
SHOW 'KK2'
Then I create a cube with use compression off, and in rules sum for example.
After, I create a measure and I select Override the aggregation specification for the cube, in rules I put nonadditive and I would like to create aprogram to assign distinct values to each level of the dimension. For example, I put 1, 2 3, and 4 values, but at the end I would like to put count(distinct(values)).
for that I create another program:
VRB D_RETURN DECIMAL
if D_ABEN18_N1_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N1_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 1
if D_ABEN18_N2_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N2_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 2
if D_ABEN18_N3_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N3_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 3
if D_ABEN18_N4_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N4_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 4
else d_return=26
return d_return
"SHOW D_RETURN
cubo_aben18_med_aben18_stored=d_return
but it doesnt work.I dont know how to put to assign or to see what I want.
I report the measure, or I report the program, but then how can I see the values of the measure?
thanks in advance

How to create a test plan with specific transactions (or program)

Hello,
I'm a new user in Sol Man !
How to create a test plan with specific transactions (or program).
In my Business Blueprint (SOLAR01) I've created in 'transaction tab' the name of my specific transactions and linked it.
In my test plan (STWB_2) those specific doesn't appear to be selected !
Thanks in advance.
Georges HUYNEN

Hi
In solar01 you have defined but you have to assign the test case in solar02 for this test case in the test cases tab.
When you do so expand the business sceanario node in test plan generation of STWB_2 transaction and now that will appear.

How to create a linked server to SQL in Oracle?

I am able to create a linked server to Oracle in SQL.. But I do not know the steps to create a linked server too SQL in Oracle.
How to create a linked server to SQL in Oracle? After creating the linked server to SQL, I would like to create triggers in Oracle DB to insert records into SQL DB.

There are 2 products in Oracle you can use to link to a MS SQl Server. The first one is for free and it is called Database Gateway for ODBC. With a suitable 3rd party ODBC driver you can connect to any foreign database. The second gateway is our commercial gateway and it is called Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL Server. It is designed for MS SQl Server connections and more powerful then Dg4ODBC. It know how to map a lot of Oracle functions to SQL Server equivalents and you can also use it to directly call SQL Server procedures or functions. This dedicated SQL server gateway is also able to participate in distributed transactions.
But again, this is a commercial gateway and you have to purchase a license for that second gateway, the Database Gateway for MS SQl Server.

How to create conditional update trigger in sql server

How to create conditional update trigger in sql server

You cant create a conditional update trigger. Once you create an update trigger it will get called for every update action. However you could write logic inside it to make it do your activity based on your condition using IF condition statement
Say for example if you've table with 6 columns and you want some logic to be implemented on update trigger only if col3 and col5 are participating in update operation you can write trigger like this
CREATE TRIGGER Trg_TableName_Upd
ON TableName
FOR UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
IF UPDATE(Col3) OR UPDATE (Col5)
BEGIN
....your actual logic here
END
END
UPDATE() function will check if column was involved in update operation and returns a boolean result
