Is SQL Server 2008 R2 supported?

Hi to all,
We've installed as back-end SQL Server 2008 R2, but SAP BPC has been warning us about the versions...we didn't installed any SP because, if we aren't mistaken, they are only for R1.
Could someone confirm this?
Thanks
Daniele

Hi,
Bruno is right. Actually, this is not supported.
Refering to the Installation Guide and Prerequisites section for SQL server, versions 2005 and 2008 are supported, but not 2008 R2.
Hope this answers your question.
Best Regards,
Patrick

SQL Server 2008 R2 Sp1 is not supported at all. While extended support for SQL Server 2008 r2 SP3 is around 26 September 2014. This is tentative date because SP3 was released somewhere around this date. and as per MS policy
Support ends 12 months after the next service pack releases or at the end of the product's support lifecycle, whichever comes first. For more information, please see the service pack policy at

Commercial distributed application with SQL Server 2008 back-end

Hi All, I am suffering some confusion and wondered if anyone could clear up a few questions for me.
I am currently developing an application to be sold commercially, to be deployed locally on a customer's site. It is a client-server application and the server utilises an SQL Server 2008 back-end. Client applications however do connect directly to the SQL
Server.
We probably want to support about 100+ client applications. Each client application could feasibly be making several SQL query requests per second.
Firstly, what are the licensing implications of this for the customer? I understand SQL Server 2008 can support 30000+ concurrent connections, but am I correct in thinking that each client application will require CALs? Or I understand there is a "processor
licence"...
Secondly, and I know this is quite a broad question, but can anyone offer a rough estimation of the processing/storage requirements for the server?
Thanks in advance!

Hi click,
Usually, SQL Server is licensed through Microsoft Volume Licensing programs using two software licensing models, one is the Per Processor (Core-based) licensing model, another is Server plus Client Access License (Server+CAL) licensing model which is based
on the users or devices accessing the product.
Using the Per Core Licensing Model When running SQL Server in a physical operating system environment (OSE), all physical cores on the server must be licensed. When licensing SQL Server software under the Server+CAL model, customers purchase a server license
for each server and a client access license (CAL) for each device (Device CAL) and/or user (User CAL) accessing SQL Server or any of its components.
For more detailed information regarding to the license issue, please call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist. For international customers, please use the Guide
to Worldwide Microsoft Licensing Sites to find contact information in your locations.

Trying to install Support for DTS packages in SQL server 2008

Hi all
I am trying to follow the instructions in the following link...
technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143755(v=sql.105).aspx
...to install support for DTS packages - when it says on the Feature Selection page, select Integration Services - none of the installs I have tried show this as an option - what should I be installing in order to see this and get this feature installed?
I just need to be able to view some DTS packages - help!
Thank you! James

Hello James,
as can be read in the article:

Transact-SQL debugger not working in SQL Server 2008: "...debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier..."

I have recently installed SQL Server 2008. When I try to execute a query against an Access database, I receive this debugging error:
"Unable to start Transact-SQL debugger. The Transact-SQL debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier versions of SQL Server. (SQLEditors)"
Nor will the query execute; I get a transport-level error 0. Any thoughts?

Hi Davidmhjr,
>>Unable to start the Transact-SQL Debugger. The Transact-SQL Debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier versions of SQL Server. (SQLEditors).
Have you tried to restart the server once you have installed SQL Server 2008? As Naomi N mentioned please check the version of SQL Server you are using.
If you tried to connect to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2008 SSMS, you would not be able to debug and get this error, it happens because T-SQL debugger includes both server-side and client-side components. The server-side debugger components are installed
with each instance of the SQL Server 2008 Database Engine. The client-side components are installed when you install the SQL Server 2008 client-side tools.
So it works with SQL Server 2008 only so far. Another way is you can triy to use SQL Server 2005 SSMS to connect to SQL Server 2005.
More information about configuration requirement to run T-SQL debugger as below, please refer:
There are no configuration requirements to run the Transact-SQL debugger when SQL Server Management Studio is running on the same computer as the instance of the SQL Server Database Engine. However, to run the Transact-SQL debugger when SQL Server Management
Studio is running on a different computer from the instance of the Database Engine, you must enable program and port exceptions by using the Windows Firewall Control Panel application on both computers.
On the computer that is running the instance of the Database Engine, in Windows Firewall, specify the following information:
•Add TCP port 135 to the exceptions list.
•Add the program sqlservr.exe to the exceptions list. By default, sqlservr.exe is installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.InstanceName\MSSQL\Binn, where InstanceName is MSSQLSERVER for the default instance, and the instance name for
any named instance.
•If the domain policy requires network communications to be done through IPsec, you must also add UDP port 4500 and UDP port 500 to the exception list.
On the computer that is running SQL Server Management Studio, in Windows Firewall, specify the following information:
•Add TCP port 135 to the exceptions list.
•Add program ssms.exe (SQL Server Management Studio) to the exceptions list. By default, ssms.exe is installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE.
Hope it is helpful.

"SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services does not support map report items"

Hi,
I am trying some new feature that are introduced in SQL Server 2008 R2 version. While I try to use "Map" control within it, it threw the following error:-
"Error 1 The map, Map1, was removed from the report. SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services does not support map report items. "
-Also, similar kind of error I am getting for "Indicator" control.

Hi Tej,
I think you get this error message when you are deploying a report to report server using BIDS, correct? If not, please provide more details on your scenario :-)
If I guessed correctly, then this message is a result of trying to deploy a map report (a SSRS 2008 R2 feature) to a non-R2 2008 report server. When deploying a report of RDL2010 format to a non-R2 report server, BIDS will downgrade the file to RDL2008 format, so that the non-R2 report server can process it. Any report elements using features not supported in RDL2008 will be dropped during this downgrade process.
BIDS gets the server version from a report project property called TargetServerVersion:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee635898(SQL.105).aspx
If your report server is indeed the 2008 R2 version, then the TargetServerVersion property should be set to "SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services." The project property page also has a "Auto Detect..." option if you are uncertain about the version of your report server.
Hope this helps!

Is DTS supported in SQL server 2008 R2 with Compatibility level 100?

We have a DTS package which executes one stored procedure.
We have recently switched SQL server compatibility level from 80 to 100.
On Compatibility level 80 it was working fine.
When i switched the level to 100, and executes DTS it shows successfully executed but stored procedure doenot really executed.
When i execute stored procedure in query analyzer it executed successfully and results were as expected.
Please let me know Is DTS supported in SQL server 2008 R2 with Compatibility level 100?

We have just implemented DTS packages on SQL2008R2 using the Backward Compatibility Tools (serarch for SQLServer2005_BC.msi)
You need the files:
SQLServer2005_BC.msi or SQLServer2005_BC_x64.msi
and SQLServer2005_DTS.msi
After you install these, perform the following -
1) To integrate DTS Designer with SSMS:
Copy the files SEMSFC.DLL, SQLGUI.DLL, and SQLSVC.DLL
from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn
to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE
Copy the files SEMSFC.RLL, SQLGUI.RLL, and SQLSVC.RLL
from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033
to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\Resources\1033
2) To integrate DTS Designer with BIDS:
Copy the files SEMSFC.DLL, SQLGUI.DLL, and SQLSVC.DLL
from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn
to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE
Copy the files SEMSFC.RLL, SQLGUI.RLL, and SQLSVC.RLL
from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033
to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Resources\1033

Sql server 2008 r2 setup support rules missing cluster node

i have error on install sql r2 there are problems in cluster node its failed on windows 8

Hi ,
Before you install SQL Server on a computer that is running Windows 8, about Microsoft SQL Server 2008 , you must apply and install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 or a later after the initial setup is complete. To install a SQL Server failover
cluster, you must create and configure a failover cluster instance by running SQL Server setup. For more information, see:

Unable to see SQL Server 2008 option in Designer

Hi Guys,
We are using SQL Server 2008 and BO XI R3. While creating a new universe connection we can see (under microsoft) SQL Server 2005, but not the SQL Server 2008.
How can we see the SQL Server 2008 option. Do we need to change some settings in BO or SQL Server?
Thanks & Regards
Manish Tiwari

What version of XI 3.x are you on? Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 is only supported with XI 3.1 and higher. The supported platforms document for XI 3.1 is [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/60cdb229-d874-2b10-18ac-ed2f46873753&overridelayout=true].

Unable to upgrade SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012 SP1

I'm encountering error after error, after successfully installing the upgrade advisor (which took some doing) and running it with essentially no warnings/errors (the one warning was on the connection strings, as I recall -- and all of the warnings had a
"fix after" status.
First failure involved SSRS and the inability to create the "managed account". Backed out the upgrade using http://sqldbanotes.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-fix-failed-in-place.html
Now the failure involves SSAS and unable to connect to analysis services with name MSSQLServerOLAPService. That is the logical name for the service, although it shows up as just MSSQLServer when looking at it in the services list. I tried
setting the service account to a local account as well as to Local System -- did not make a difference, the upgrade couldn't apparently find it regardless.
Has anybody successfully done an in place upgrade from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012?

Hello,
The following are a few things you can try:
Copy the media to the local disk drive, unzip it (in case you are installing from an ISO file, and run SQL Server setup from there.
Try to unregister and register the Windows Installer with the following two commands:
msiexec /unregister
msiexec /regserver
Try to use Process Monitor to log the detailed error produced when the installation of dw20sharedamd64.msi fails. You can download Process Monitor from the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
Share with us the error captured by Process Monitor.
Hope this helps.
