I want to take a SQL Server DBA L3 Handover in my new company

Actually I have joined a new company and appoint as L3,I want to take Handover.
I want to take a SQL Server DBA L3 Handover in my new company.
Is there any process pdf / website or excel which I can follow.
Thanks

Hi,
There is no such document and IMO there cannot be because process and nature of work varies from company to company. I guess you dont need to worry if you are taking handover. Ofcourse you should make note of all peocess which is handed over to
you in that case if somebody points out that you did not know about particular thing you can ssay I was given handover for only these topics which did not included what you are talking.
HOTO(handover takeover) generally includes work which previous person was doing. It just makes sure that yo are aware about what previous DBA was dealing with. Make sure you do not miss anything from your side

August #SQLChat - The Adaptive SQL Server DBA

I am having a problem setting up folder redirection on Windows Server 2012 R2. I have applied the folder redirection policy in the default GPO, nothing. I created a new GPO applying it to "authenticated users", still not working. I tried to index it and everything. I even tried to set the drive perms, share perms, and folder permissions to everyone and it's still not working. I got the desktop folder redirection policy set and it works, but I cannot do the same for documents. Please help!

Upgrade to SQL server 2005 - Point Production Environment to New Server?

We have Essbase, Workspace, EAS, EIS, FR, WA environment in Production, supporting SQL server databases are on ServerA which has all these databases in SQL server 2000. The corporate standard is moving to SQL server 2005, and the SQL server DBA has copied the supporting dbs to ServerB for testing.
Is "pointing" to ServerB an option, or do the BI+ components have to be redeployed? Any help or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.

Stephanie,
There could be schema changes between 2000 and 2005 you may want to check the support matrix to ensure your version of Hyperion is supported with SQL 2005.
Best bet is to back up the business rules, fr reports and then configure the system to the new databases on the SQL 2005 box then reimport the items.

Want to change the SQL Server Agent Job History Text Files Location

We have SQL Server 2014 installed on a couple servers, but they were not consistent on directory paths during the installs. I am trying to get the servers to all match.
On one server, SQL Server the Agent Log and Job History files were being written to [H:\Data Root Directory\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log].
I want to change that to [H:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log] to match the other server.
I have ALREADY gone into SSMS - [SQL Server Agent] - [Properties] and changed the "Error Log " "Fle Name" to [H:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\SQLAGENT.OUT]. And that is working great.
In [SQL Server Configuration Manager] - [SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)] - [Properties] - Startup Parameters entries have been changed to the new path (-d, -e, and -l), and under [Advanced] both Data Path and Dump Directory are pointing to the new path.
In [SQL Server Configuration Manager] - [SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)] - [Properties] - [Advanced] Dump Directory is pointing to the new path.
However, the job's History text files are still being written to the old path.
There is no setting in the Jobs or the Maintenance Plans that controls the history file location.
I have searched the registry and changed three settings from the old path to the new path. The registry does NOT contain any more references to the old path.
I rebooted the server, but when the jobs run their history text files are still be written to the old path.
Does anybody have any ideas?? Thanks

I checked the [Job] - [Step] - [Advanced ] - "Output File", and the field is blank.
I then reviewed all the tabs and left menu items in the Job...I cannot find any where the references the old path.
I then went to the Maintenance Plan and checked every thing there. Still cannot find what is referencing this old path.
SQL Server is also still writing xel files to this old path...if that offers any clues.
The text file being generated is the recap of the Job run. Starts with this:
Microsoft(R) Server Maintenance Utility (Unicode) Version 12.0.2430
Report was generated on "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx".
Maintenance Plan: SQL_Backups_Log
Duration: 00:00:03
Status: Succeeded.
Details:
Thanks for the ideas....

I assume this is a simplified version of a more complex problem, since your second function would not return anything more than the first. If you want to use TABLE on a ref cursor, then you need to do some sort of intermediary transformation, such as using a pipelined function, as in the example in the link below. Also, this does not appear to have anything to do with objects, so should be posted in the SQL and PL/SQL forum instead.

Howto take SQL Server 2005 Cluster AND Cluster Group Offline

I need to update firmware on the backend storage used by our Active/Passive SQL Server 2005 Cluster. The first step in the process states that all I/O to the disks should be stopped. Per that, I need to take the the SQL Server cluster offline AND the cluster group; however, I then need to use one of the servers that participates in the cluster to perform the upgrade on the storage array. Using the process (which doesn't account for having to use one of clustered servers to perform updates) outlined at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1550288&SiteID=1 as a basis, below is my best guess regarding what I will need to do:
Shutdown:
1. Backup all of your databases prior to the outage and ensure they are in a safe place (NOT on the disk drives in the cluster)
2. Take the SQL Server group OFFLINE. This will cleanly shutdown the SQL Server and it will remain offline when you power the machine back on.
3. Once SQL Server is offline, power off the node which does NOT have the cluster resource currently running on it
4. Save the node which is running the cluster group for last - make a note of this machine as it will be the first one you power back on. MY ADDITION: Before powering it down, set the cluster service to manual so that when you restart the server to perform the storage array maintenance, the cluster will not be running - and likewise not generating I/O against the disk array.
MY ADDITION: 5. Restart the server from step 4. Takes the cluster offline "cleanly" and brings the server back on line so that the storage array maintenance can be performed.
6. Update the firmware on the storage array. After that is complete, set the cluster service back to "Automatic".
Start up:
1. Restart the server. Per the previous steps, the server to be restarted will be the server that last hosted the cluster group and the one used to update the firmware on the storage array.
2. RDP into the node, open cluster administrator, and verify that the cluster came back online successfully and everything looks clean
3. Power on the second node.
4. Failover the cluster group across each node in the cluster and validate that everything looks OK
5. Bring your SQL Server groups back online
6. Validate that everything is operational
Is there a better way to do this or official documentation for the process?
Thanks.

FYI: I did use the process outlined above to briing the cluster offline, perform updates, and bring it back online. It worked as I had hoped. As a test, I had also done the same on a test [non-SQL] cluster prior to making the updates to our SQL cluster. Is it the best way to do it? Who knows. Did it work? Yes.

Report Builder 1.0 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2

We are trying to implement Ad-Hoc Reporting using SSRS 2008 R2.
First of all, it is very unhelpful that all SSRS books are for either 2008 or 2012, even though SSRS has major changes in 2008 R2 compared to 2008.
Our instructional materials indicate that we should build Report Models to abstract out our databases into terms familiar to our business users.
The problem we are having is the difference in functionality between Report Builder 1.0 and Report Builder 3.0. Report Builder 3.0 is touted as having the modern, ribbon based interface that is supposed to make end-users feel more comfortable. However,
all the documentation says that end users are supposed to use Report Builder 1.0 for Ad-Hoc Reporting. And, it seems, that the reports generated by Report Builder 1.0 are not round-trip compatible with all the other reporting tools for SSRS 2008 R2.
The documentation we have illustrates that Report Builder 1.0 is nice for Ad-Hoc reporting, because is based on connecting directly to Report Models, and the end users can directly drag-and-drop entities and fields into their reports.
When we try working with Report Builder 3.0, it seems we must first connect to the Report Model as a Data Source and then build a Dataset query on the Report Model. Only then are some entity attributes available to be dropped into the report.
If the user decides another source column is needed, they have to go back, edit the query, save the query, and then drag the column from the Dataset to the report. This does not seem end user friendly at all!
We are also concerned that if we train our users on the seemingly soon-to-be-obsolete Report Builder 1.0, and get them used to having direct Report Model access, that at some point we will have to move them to the Dataset-interrupted approach of Report Builder
2+. Highlighting this perception of impending obsolescence of Report Builder 1.0 is that in our shop that is starting with SSRS 2008 R2, we cannot figure out how to get a copy of Report Builder 1.0 in the first place.
We just don't see our end users being savvy enough to handle the steps involved with creating Datasets on top of Report Model Data Sources. So we would have to build the Datasets for them. But in that case, what point is there in creating any
Report Models in the first place if DBAs are the ones to make Datasets?
As such, it is hard to envision a forward-looking SSRS implementation that has the end user ease-of-use Ad-Hoc reporting that the SSRS 2008 documentation presents.
What is it that Microsoft actually wants/expects SSRS implementers to do?

Issue installing SQL Server 2012(with SP1) on windows 7 Error result: -2067529718

When running the installation, it suddenly stops without any error popup.
I ran the installation from the command prompt and this is what I get:
An error occurred during the SQL Server 2012 Setup operation.
Error result: -2067529718
Result facility code: 1220
Result error code: 10
I recently uninstalled SQL Server 2012 SP1, because the SQL server service was not starting up, it would just hang in there with no response. I tried many things to get that issue fixed, finally I decided to uninstall and start fresh but I couldn't since
I was getting an error stating that I needed Windows 7 SP1(which was already installed). I downloaded the
microsoft fix it tool which fixed the issue.
On the control panel/Programs and features, I still see that SQL Server 2012 is listed if I click to uninstall again it tells me:
An error occurred while trying to uninstall Microsoft SQL Server 2012. it may have already been uninstalled. do you want to remove Microsoft SQL Server 2012 from the Programs and features list?
if I click yes, eventually it will be listed again.
currently I'm not able to install SQL server again and besides the info provided there are not error messages (I also copied the installation files to disk).
UPDATE: it appears that the sql server was not completely removed from the system, I still see listed the SQL server(SQLExpress) and server browser services on the SQL server configuration manager.
Thanks.

1) First Reboot your server and try again for the installation.
2) If first fail again than Take a backup of Registry first for safe side and then delete the entries of SQL server 2012 if found take a reboot again and try to install again.
One more thing if installation created any file then move/Delete that also before installation.

Oracle version of SQL Server DTS/ SSIS.

Howdy all. Im starting to teach myself Oracle and have a couple of questions.
What is Oracles equivelant of SQL Servers DTS/ SSIS (ETL tool)? One of my hangups with SSIS (new to SQL Server 2005, replaced DTS in SQL Server 2000) is that it requires VB .net to accomplish certain things whereas DTS could use VB Script. That being said:
What lanuage(s) does Oracles ETL tool use when the GUI does not do what you need?
Are these tasks usually done by Developers or DBA's in the Oracle world. As a SQL Server DBA, I've done lots of these tasks throughout my career, but it seems as though MS is looking to redefine the lines between DBA and Developer (not just based on this, but other things as well).
TIA, ChrisR

What is Oracles equivelant of SQL Servers DTS/ SSIS (ETL tool)?You probably want Warehouse Builder

What lanuage(s) does Oracles ETL tool use when the GUI does not do what you need?I think it uses PL/SQL.

P2V SQL Server 2008 R2 HYPER-V Clustering

Hi all,
i have current sql server 2008 environment which have the following requirements:
1. SERVER A with failover cluster 1 node server (physical server)
2. 4 shared disk storage (SAN)
3. The connectivity is HBA
i am supposed to migrate the existing into hyper-v environment which the following information detail:
1. provision CSV in the same storage with existing 4 shared disk storage
2. SERVER B (HYPER-V will be deployed for future sql server cluster)
the scenario is we want to migrate the server A to Server B.
Please correct my plan as the following detail:
- We want to P2V the existing into SERVER B (Hyper-V).
here is my questions
1. is it possible the vhd after P2V process is attached into CSV storage ?
2. is it possible the shared storage in the previous environment is re-mapping volume into the Hyper-V ?
sorry if my thread is disorganized, i am novice in this case. need your kind advice for the best practice solve this issue.
please tell me if there is anything less clear.
Best Regards,
ari

First question is why do you want to P2V? It does not take that much effort to create a new VM and then use SQL tools to backup and restore the databases into the new environment. Then you are using known and proven tools instead of trying to
make everything work from a P2V.
When you P2V, the process will create virtual hard drives from each physical drive. If you want to make your SQL Server into a VM, it does not make sense to keep the storage on pass-through disks. It is better to use VHDs for the storage of a
VM.
Having single node clusters does not make much sense, unless the idea is to immediately add a second node when available.

Unable to check large model into SQL Server repository via Proxy

I have a model that has over 1000 changes (probably) and I am unable to check the model into a repository on SQL Server 2008R2. We have a proxy service running, and in general the check-in process is much better via the proxy than direct connect. But for a model with "a lot" of changes, the check-in process never completes. I have let it run overnight and it still does not complete. The SQL Server DBA also reports a large "blocking" query running from the PROXY service to the database server when this process seems to "hang".
Has anyone else encountered this behavior? I have had a support ticket open for over a year on this one, with no solution, so I was curious if anyone else found a way to resolve it. (other than avoid "making a lot of changes".

Hi,
First if you want good performance you must use the Proxy. When you use the Proxy PowerDesigner sending large packet of data to the Proxy under a proprietary format (more efficient) and the Proxy run long transactions - many atomic SQL transactions - to the DBMS (SQL Server).
In "PowerDesigner World" the primary use of a direct connection to the DBMS is to create the repository.
For adequate performance the Proxy and the repository (RDBMS) must be installed on the same server. (Also the PD Portal). Thus the thousands of transactions are executed in memory and not over the network (latency problem)
Because you use the SQL Server DBMS you must set ''max server memory'' variable to an appropriate value, by example for 40 users you must set to 8 MB minimum.
You must also activate these two settings - See the PowerDesigner installation Guide
• ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION
• READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT
Physical Server memory usage
a) OS Operating System has need minimum 2 Gb
b) SQL Server runtime 1 Gb
c) SQL Server memory space for PowerAMC 8Gb
d) Proxy memory 6-8Gb
e) I/O memory space 1 Gb minimum
Total 20Gb
Also : Under 'C:\Program Files\Sybase\PowerDesigner 16\ you have "readme.html" file. In this document SAP give information to optimize the referential. Aka modify attribute length TDAT of table PMTEXT
Good luck
Note : SAP know well this problem. SAP would have reduced the number of atomic transactions to the DBMS. Programming techniques exist on this subject. To see.
