Installing CRM after SQL 2005

I have installed SQL on a Small Business Server 2003 running as a virtual server. When I try to install CRM 3.0 I get the error message:
"[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Invalid Instance()).]Invalid connection"
One of the suggested reasons is that "Microsoft Server Reporting Services is not supported using SQL Server 2005"
I would be grateful for any suggestions
Thanks
Dave

Dave,
Is this still an issue?

Re-install after sql 2005 upgrade

Hi all,
I've heard a rumor that after switching to sql 2005 I need to re-install business one.
Is this true?
Should I just schedule an upgrade to the next patch level, or do I need to re-install my current version?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi
There's no reason for upgrade just because SQL upgrade.
The new SQL will need the Native Client for connection (that is the most important check to do), you can connect with the old SQL Server ODBC but it is not recommend
The SAP Note 1015229 mention that and provided the patch to download in case of you did not install it during the SQL installation.

DB02 running very slowly after SQL 2005 Upgrade!

Hi All
I have reciently upgraded our DEV ECC6 system to SQL 2005 and everything seemed ok - no problems really! However when we run DB02, to retrieve DB information it is taking about 4 to 5 mins to appear. This is obviously not good!
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so is there something that needs to be done?
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
Have you ensure that all the standard background job as per note 16083?
Thanks and Regards

Install Mini SAP and SQL 2005

Hi there,
I hope someone can help me with the question.
Ive bought the ABAP objects book called An Introduction to Programming SAP Applications from Horst Keller and Sascha Kruger (black color). There are 2 CD's to install the application Mini Basis SAP and work with the ABAP workbench. I was able to install that on a pc Win2000 and it worked and that pc had no sql server/database installed
But I've now another pc Windows XP and has has SQL 2005 Dev edition. I need to keep this.
My problem is when I try to install the Mini Basis I get error. Is it because of Ive already installed the Ms SQL 2005 dev edition?
Im using Windows XP prof edition. How can I install on XP pro this software on my pc keeping the SQL 2005?
I have tried resume_setup.bat and also enabled remote_services for the registry update. no hope.
Can someone please help?
Cheers, mesut
Book reference: ISBN 0-201-75080-5 (SAP Press)

Hi Sravan,
That's exactly what I did. I bought the book and I try install on Win XP pro with SQL 2005 dev edition pre-installed.
I'm in possession of the Mini SAP, I own the book. I also looked at the site you suggested
http://www.sap-img.com/mini-sap.htm.
It seems to be I should be able to install on WIN XP pro due to the site above.
This is how a work
1) CD 1 starts with home page
2) I choose REsume (because I have already pre-installed the SQL 2005)
3) Setup starts
4) asks me which directory, it proposes C:\MBS -- I accept
5) It asks me where is the DATA and the KERNEL CD --- it proposes D: ---I accept
6) at the mean time I click on switch view and I see the logs and this is finally I get (I just copy/paste below the errors no the whole log)
So I don't know how to proceed further. I contacted SAP and they propose me this forums.
Could you please advice?
thanks mesut

Install ODI on SQL server 2005

Hi,
I got a problem to install ODI in SQL 2005 Express.
I have notebook to install SQL 2005 Express version.
When I config Master repository, I copy SQL 2000 drivers ("msbase.jar","mssqlserver.jar","msutil.jar")
during configuration, it found following error.
"The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Parameter 1 ("")"
Please help to fix the problem. Thanks
For more information,
I try to copy SQL 2005 driver "sqljdbc4.jar" and "sqljdbc.jar" on C:\OraHome_1\oracledi\drivers
However, I got no response when I click OK but Test connection is ok.
I try to change the driver to "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver" instead of "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" but still got no response.

SQL 2005 Setup on Win7 Ultimate [No SQL Services after installation]

Win 7 Ultimate (64bit)
4GB RAM
New installation of Win 7 Ultimate
Re-installation of SQL: Originally SQLExpress which didn't work out so I went to SQL2005 Standard Edition SP1 & updated to SQL2005 SP4. I installed Visual Studio 2005 during the SP1 installation. Actually, I installed all SQL2005 components
'just in case'.
I had attempted, unsuccessfully, to install SQLExpress so I uninstalled all SQLExpress components via Programs and Features, removed all SQL related directories and subdirectories in c:\Program Files (x86)\SQL.... and started the DVD setup.exe installation.
[I didn't do a RegEdit32!]
Uniquely, During installation of SQL2005, I wasn't asked for the SQL Product Key nor whether the mode was Windows or Mixed (I want Mixed Mode). Now, after rebooting with all MS updates (Win7 and SQL2005) I don't see any SQL services even though the
Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Backward compatibility and Books etc are listed as installed under Programs and Features. IIRC, I saw a message regarding ASP.Net for 64bit being installed but some issues on the 32bit not being installed (warning message).
So, how do I get the necessary SQL 2005 services installed and get SQL functional??? I'm open to a complete re-install if necessary. My original DVD is SQL2005 Standard Edition SP1, fyi.
THANKS!

1) SQL Server Configuration Manager? Yes, I do under "Configuration Tools" When selecting this and going into SQL Server 2005 Services I get "There are no items to show in this view".
2) Exact SQL Server edition? From Help of SQL Server Configuration Manager: 2005.090.5000.00
3) Compact Edition installed? I used the SQL2005 SP1 Standard Edition DVD and then selected setup.exe. If you'd like for me to uninstall SQL and reinstall I will (including removing appropriate SQL Server directories). I'd remove the RegEdit
entries but I don't know where/what they are. [[Note!: See #4 below where under Server Type I see "SQL Server Compact Edition ... as well as Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services and Integration Services]
4) ??: Since I can't get into SQL Server Management Studio. I get "Cannot connect to XYZ02" "A network-related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL server. The server was not found or was not accessible.
Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (Provider: Named Pipes Provider, error:40- Could not open a connection to SQL server) (Microsoft SQL server, Error:2)" [Note: XYZ02 is the name
of the laptop and I used: Server Type: Database Engine; Server Name: XYZ02 (I had to enter as it wasn't listed); Authentication: Windows Authentication
So, suggestions... looks like I DO have Compact Edition? Thoughts?????
Thanks
BTW, I have another 64bit laptop (same mfr/model but with 8GB vs this 4GB under 64bit Win7 Ultimate) that runs SQL fine. Been running SQL 2005 on it for 3-4+ years.

Installing SSMS 2012 after SQL Server 2008 R2 Express was installed (without tools)

Hi everybody,
This is a question in another forum I am frequent. Someone installed SQL Server Express 2008 R2 and he used the wrong exe, so he installed it without tools. Now he wants to install SSMS.
It looks like SSMS 2012 wants to have SQL Server 2012 Express installed first.
Can someone please confirm if it's possible to install just SSMS 2012 after SQL Server 2008 R2 Express was already installed and if possible, guide through the installation steps?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Naomi,
Agree with Shanky.
I have tested the scenario you described. Everything works well, I successfully install SQL Server Management studio 2012 after SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (without tools) was already installed.
Please note that we don’t need to install SQL Server 2012 Express first when installing SSMS 2012. For detailed installation steps of SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and SSMS 2012, you can review below blogs.

SQL Server Management Studio – A step-by-step installation guide
In addition, we can use SSMS 2012 to manage SQL Server Express 2005 /2008 /2008 R2, the tool is backward compatible.

CRM 2015 Update 0.1 Install Fails with SQL Error

Hi, anyone managed to install CRM 2015 Update 0.1?
The software installed fine but the DB updates fail with a SQL error. Just want to know if this is just my issue or if MS have a bug in the update. This is the SQL error:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The current transaction cannot be committed and cannot support operations that write to the log file. Roll
back the transaction.
Uncommittable transaction is detected at the end of the batch. The transaction is rolled back.
All of the ORGs fail with this error, even when I try to apply the DB update via Deployment manager. I've had to back out the rollup.

The issue appears when the update process creates the index cndx_BusinessDataLocalizedLabel. This is a known cause which is under investigation internally. Currently it seems to plan to release in CRM 2015 SP1

SQL 2005 discoveries after upgrade to Operations Manager 2012 R2 UR3 upgrade

Hi
We did a (succesfull) upgrade of our SCOM 2012 SP1 environment to 2012 R2 UR3. We noticed after the upgrade that databases of some SQL 2005 clustered instances on Windows 2003 R2 SP2 are no longer discovered. checking the eventlog shows the eventid
21405 on the DiscoverSQL2005DB.vbs disvovery (process exited with 4294967295)
Browsing and checking several webfinds didn't provide a solution yet. Perhaps I overlooked the obvious....
Possible solutions which didn't bring relief yet:
check on SQL SP's
WMI registry settings [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM] ": Low/High Threshold On Events
WMI repair, mofcomp...
Uninstall/Reinstall Monitorring Agent
manual run of the discover script returns all info
The runas discover and monitor account(s) are local admin on the OS and SA on the SQL instances
I'm stuck: right now we wanted to present some distributed applications through LiveMaps in scom to our internal customers and some essential databases are no longer discovered/monitorred.
Any help highly appreciated

I'd just like to add that since upgrading all of our environments to 2012 R2 UR3, we are receiving multiple alerts for multiple script failures - e.g. Events 21404, 21405 to name a couple.
I have logged a few Microsoft Premier Support Calls and they are still working on them.
We get this on all SQL 2005,2008 running on Windows Server 2003. Microsoft's response to this is:
"This is a known bug in the latest SQL MP. This is due to the problem with the DiscoverSQL2008DBEngineDiscovery.vbs and DiscoverSQL2005DBEngineDiscovery.vbs scripts which contains the following line of code :
tcp = oQuery.ItemIndex(0).PropertyStrVal
The issue is the ItemIndex is supported only on Vista+ operating systems. The product group is currently investigating and evaluating the issue and I don’t think the fix will be released recently…"
I guess that meant "any time soon' :)
I should add that we also upgraded the SQL MPs around this time too, to 6.5.1.0.
So as you can appreciate, we just have to put up with this for now!

Installing Application Server JAVA on SQL 2005

We are looking to install a NW 7.0 system with Application Server Java only. We would like to install the SCS and the Central Instance on one host on a Windows 2008 64-bit server and the Database Instance on a seperate host. The DB host is a Windows 2008 32-bit server and has MSSQL 2005 installed on it.
We are new to MSSQL with SAP and have a couple questions:
1) Is the scenario I described above possible? Looking at the PAM it looks like we need to have Windows 2008 on a 64-bit platform in order for SQL 2005 to work.
2) For installing the database instance, do you have to use sapinst on the DB host and install the database instance? If so, how do you connect the SCS to the DB? Or can you use the sapinst where the SCS was installed and link to the DB host?
Thanks and any help would be great.

Hi Dale
If you're installing this to work as a Clustered system, I think you want to have the 2 servers (DB & CI) the same.

Is there any way to install the latter collation on this SQL Server instance? With SQL 2000 there was the instcoll.exe tool. We need something similar for SQL 2005.

This is very easy in SQL 2005 and can be done on individual database's. To do it in this fashion then follow these steps
1) Open up the SQL server management studio
2) Connect to the database engine
3) Expand Databases
4) Right-click on the database you want to change and select Properties
5) Click on the Options
6) Select the required collation
I hope this helps
