Limiting no of core with Sql Server 2012

Hi All,
we are planning to use Sql Server 2012 EE on a hardware with 64 logical processors but want to limit Sql Server to use only 16 logical processors. Please assist for a solution which should also comply with MS licensing.

Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?
aa

I think you are confused with the way cluster is installed. Installing SQL on cluster is a two step process. On first node you create a new SQL cluster and on second node you need "AddNode" action.
Same edition media has to be used in above two operation.
you can install two separate instances with one enterprise and one standard.

SQL Server Compact 3.5 Merge Replication With SQL Server 2012 - Causing IIS App Pool to Crash

Hi, I may be the only person in the world doing this but I wanted to give this information to anyone else who may follow this path in the future, and hopefully avoid a headache, or at least a paid support call to Microsoft.
My original scenario was we had a SQL Server 2008 Server using Merge Replication through and IIS (web server) to several Windows Mobile 6 devices. This has worked fairly well for a few years.
Recently we upgraded our SQL server to version 2012 SP 1. After moving the database over to the new server, and re-setting the merge replication stuff, we couldn't get merge replication to work on the Windows Mobile 6 handheld devices. The replication
would appear to start, and then we would get a message saying that the device could not get to the web site. The message on the handheld device was this:
"The IIS service is not available."
After doing some more research, we found that the start of the replication process was causing the Thread Pool that was running the SQLCESA35.dll to crash.
The SQLCESALOG.txt file had this information:
Date Time == SQLCESA Version ==> 3.5.8088.0
Date Time Hr=80004005 ERR:Couldn't find existing RSCB 1
After 2 days of trying to figure out the issue on our own, we gave in and called for paid Microsoft support. They eventually found a known issue where a cumulative update was able to fix the problem.
We installed the update on the IIS server and everything ran smoothly again.
FIX: Merge replication fails when you use SQL Server Compact to perform a merge replication that synchronizes changes with a publisher in SQL Server 2012

ODBC Problems with SQL Server 2012 on Virtual Machine

I am having problem with my application after my IT department upgraded to SQL Server 2012 with error "ConngetDataToModify.vi:1"<ERR>Object 0x2222222 is not valid. I have 4 servers running the same executable without problem before the upgraded. However, after the upgrade 2 of these Server are having the problem with the ODBC connection. Here are my setup, the application was created using LabView8.5, we have 2 physical server box running Window Server 2003, 2 Virtual Machine on Windows Server 2008, and a Virtual Machine with SQL 2012 Server. The 2 physical server running the executable without a problem after the upgrade, but the 2 Virtual Server were unable to connects to the ODBC connection. Anyone have any idea why this is happening , it is the problem with compatibility between my application with Server 2008 and SQL 2012 Server, or is there a problem with both beings Virtual Servers? As I said, the 2 physical Server seem to be running without any problem with the upgrade.

My guess is that the problem is not specifically with LV. This should be relatively easy to check if you create a UDL file and double click it. This opens a Microsoft wizard which allows you to configure and test DB connections (the UDL file itself is basically just a text file which holds a connection string). If it doesn't work there, it won't work in LV.
As for what the actual problem is, a common culprit is the firewall, which is easy enough to check by disabling it. Another option is the surface area configuration of SQL Server, which will not allow network connections unless you tell it to.
It should probably also be noted that LV 8.5 is not officially supported on Windows Server. I'm assuming that's not the issue, but be aware of it.
Try to take over the world!

Sharepoint 2013 SSRS Interaction with Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services connecting to Sql Server 2008 R2 database

Hi
I'm working on upgrading sharepoint 2010 to sharepoint 2013 with sql server 2008 r2. I've ran into some problems but have been able to get a test farm upgraded. However to run SSRS 2013 it seems Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services are required. Upgrading
to a full sql server 2012 database isn't an option. I know that sql server 2012 reporting services can use sql server 2008 r2 as a catalog and content database so I was wondering could this be a workaround? Importantly would I need a separate machine/virtual
machine to host sql server 2012 reporting services? or could it live on the sql server 2008 r2 machine? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks Dan

Remember that SSRS must be deployed on the SharePoint server. Having said that, yes you can install SSRS 2012 SP1 on a server running SQL 2008 R2. And yes, you can use 2008 R2 as your Database Engine server while SSRS 2012 SP1 runs on the SharePoint server.

Installing SharePoint 2013 with SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition

Hi,
Can we use SQL Server 2012 Developer edition with SharePoint 2013? One thing that came to my mind was setting max degree of parallelism, is that supported in Developer edition? Looking forward to your assistance here.
Thanks,
kashif

I'm slightly incorrect. See http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/4/A/64A1EC8F-F575-41E1-9D34-821FA9F98F8E/SQL_Server_2012_Licensing_Reference_Guide.pdf.
Licensing SQL Server for Non-production Use
The SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition is a full-function version of the SQL Server software—with all the
features and capabilities of the Enterprise edition—licensed under the Developer Tools model, which is a “per
user” model. One license is required for each person that accesses or uses the software.
When using SQL Server software for development, test or demonstration purposes, only the users are licensed
and there is no need for a corresponding license for the actual server systems running SQL Server software in
this case.
As long as only licensed users have access to the software, customers can install as many copies of the software
on any number of servers that are used exclusively for development, test or demonstration purposes. This
is significant, because it allows customers to run the software on multiple devices (for testing purposes, for
example) without having to license each non-production server system.
But no, as you can see above, you'll have no issues with the software (Developer Edition is Enterprise Edition with licensing restrictions, but no functionality restrictions).

AWE with SQL Server 2012

Good day. Here is my story.
I am a noobie. Please be gentle. :-)
RAMMap says that AWE is chewing up most of the memory.
The machine is a virtual computer (free ESXi) with Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012.
The VM has 16GB RAM total with 10GB allocated to the SQL Server.
Minimum server memory is set to 0MB, maximum server memory is set to 5120MB.
Locked Pages in Memory is not defined in the Local Policy (or in the Domain GPO if that matters).
There is also an install of Symantec Backup Exec on this computer which uses SQL Server 2005. All services to do with Backup Exec and its associated SQL server instance are disabled. However, if I start this SQL server instance and look, AWE
is not checked.
If I reboot the SQL Server AWE shows just over 500MB usage but over the next 24 hours this will grow to over 4GB.
I have Googled for several hours but have not found a solution.
Thanks for your time, folks,
David Chapman

Hi,
>>RAMMap says that AWE is chewing up most of the memory.
I do not use RAMMap or task manager to look at memory consumed by SQL Server.AWE has no significance in 64 bit.Its helpful in 32 bit allowing SQL Server to access memory beyond its VAS limit.RAMap is windows tool to monitor windows memory allocation not
SQL Server.Below query will give you memory used by SQL Server
>>Minimum server memory is set to 0MB, maximum server memory is set to 5120MB.
You can put minimum memory to 512 MB and SQL server memory to 6 G or 6.5 G.I guess 3-3.5 is enough for OS.Unless you have calculated it specifically.
Please post output of below
select
(physical_memory_in_use_kb/1024)Memory_usedby_Sqlserver_MB,
(locked_page_allocations_kb/1024 )Locked_pages_used_Sqlserver_MB,
(total_virtual_address_space_kb/1024 )Total_VAS_in_MB,
process_physical_memory_low,
process_virtual_memory_low
from sys. dm_os_process_memory
PS: SQL Server consuming memory is normal Behavior doont be alarmed by it.

Use of PVKConverter with SQL Server 2012 SP2

I am trying to convert a certificate that was exported from our database server to be used by SQL Server for database encryption. When I run the PVKConverter, not Private Key File (PVK) is generated.
The certificate has Server and Client Authentication as the purposes of the certificate.
What purpose or purposes does the certificate need in order to be able to be used by SQL Server 2012 SP2?
Why doesn't the PVKConverter generate a private key file?
I can use the command makecerts to generate a self signed certificate and have it work with SQL Server database encryption.
Thanks.
DJ

Hi DJ,
Based on my research, SQL Server supports the importing of existing security certificates, specified as a pair of files that are encoded in PVK/DER format. Below Transact-SQL script displays the basic key file format for SQL Server database encryption.
CREATE CERTIFICATE <Certificate name>
FROM FILE = '<PVK/DER format file>.cer'
WITH PRIVATE KEY (FILE = '<PVK/DER format file>.pvk',
DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '<Encryption password>');
According to your description, PVKConverter doesn’t generate a private key file. PVKConverter is used to generate PVK/DER encoded security certificates from existing PFX encoded security certificates. Thus, please ensure that your certificate is encoded in
PFX format and make sure you perform all the steps properly as described in the
KB article.
There is also a related blog for your reference.

LYNC audio conflict with SQL Server 2012

I have installed SQL SERVER 2012 Developer version for 64bit machine so after installing it audio quality call check is stop working in LYNC 2013. I am unable to join meeting through
LYNC due to audio connection. It was working fine before SQL Server installation, I am using brand new HP laptop.
All other functionality of Lync is working fine except audio.
Is it possible to find out any workaround available from Microsoft for this issue.

Hi Modest-Learner,
Agree with Anthony, I think the issue occurs between your client and FE server.
Here are some suggestions:
1. Please check the "Lync Server Audio Test Service" is started on Lync FE server.
2. The port the port 5076 used by the audio test service. Would you please check you have opened port 5076 on your Lync FE server? Try to
telnet LyncFEFQDN 5076 and see if it works.
3. Refer to the Technet article to troubleshoot the issue.

Hi vaibhav
Thanks for help. Actually my requirement is that I have one database on sql server 2005 version. I am planning to migrate it to sql server 2012 version. I want to publish a list of all objects across all databases which cannot be replicated to sql server
2012.How can I do this. Are there any data types which were in sql 2005 version but are depreciated in sql server 2012
Regards
Rahul
yes there are
but why not look at here for breaking changes

The deprecated features would still work though new development using them is discouraged

Thanks! Regards, Gautam

You need to check the DTC Connectivity between your DC and DR SQL Instance. The Linked Server requires DTC connectivity. Secondly this activity is better done from the SQL Server in question (the DC server in your case).
You can also manually add the Linked Server. Refer
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms188279(v=sql.105).aspx - Linking Servers and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ff772782(v=sql.105).aspx - Creating Linked Servers.
After having created the Linked Server(s) you can run the log shipping configuration again BUT using @fLinkServers = 0.

Applying Windows Server fixes to a windows server 2012 R2 server with sql server 2012 with an AG

I need to apply windows updates and I want to understand the proper method since I have 2 nodes using an AG. I see a distinction made to the process for sql server updates versus os updates but os updates seem to point to a cross-cluster migration document.
But that document seems to be talking about moving from windows server 2008 to windows 2012. Can't I just follow the method for sql server rolling upgrades?

Hi David,
According to your description, you want to apply Windows updates in availability group. I recommend you to manually apply the updates instead of using windows updates. Do you want to apply SQL Server updates or operating system-related updates?
If you just want to update SQL Server, you can follow the rolling update process. For how to follow rolling update process to update SQL Server instance in availability group, please refer to the article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn178483(v=sql.110).aspx.
However, if you want to apply operating system-related updates, please download the
white paper and follow the instructions in it.

Save a Copy of package as with SQL server 2012

Hello,I want to save a copy of my package on sql server.
I use this procedure : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137565(v=sql.110).aspx
But the dialog box is not the "Save Copy of Package" with package location, but it's the dialog box to save on the disk.
I can't save on sql server.
Can you help me ?

Hi olivier,
When we click “Save Copy of <package file> As” on the File menu in Project Deployment Model, we can only save the package on the disk.
Please note that the procedures in the article is about Package Deployment Model. So if we want to save a copy of package to SQL Server, we should change the Model first, then refer the steps in the article.
To convert the Model from Project Deployment Model to Package Deployment Model, please right-click the project to select “Convert to Package Deployment Model” option in the Solution Explorer. If a package uses features unique to the project
deployment model, such as parameters, then the package cannot be converted. So please avoid use features unique to the project deployment model.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

I need help with SQL Server 2012

Hi Everyone,
I am using the query pane to create a database with the data file and log file but keep getting this error message. I will be glad if someone can help.
You can see below the syntax:
Msg 5123, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(Access is denied.) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:\project.mdf'.
Msg 1802, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors..
CREATE DATABASE project
ON
(Name= 'project_dat',
FILENAME ='C:\project.mdf',
SIZE = 10,
MAXSIZE = 100,
FILEGROWTH = 5)
LOG ON
(NAME = project_log,
FILENAME = 'C:\project.ldf',
SIZE =40,
MAXSIZE = 100,
FILEGROWTH = 10);

Look at the second number in your constraints ValidBirthYear and ValidDeathYear. Do you mean to limit it to years between 1000-1199 and 2000-2199? Also, your ValidDeathYear constraint is using DateOfBirth.
CONSTRAINT
ValidBirthYear
CHECK
(DateOfBirth LIKE '[1-2]
[0-1] [0-9] [0-9]'),
CONSTRAINT
ValidDeathYear
CHECK
(DateOfBirth LIKE '[1-2]
[0-1] [0-9] [0-9]'));
I'm very much a beginner so that may not fix your issue but it sure looks like the cause of the second message to me.
