Logshipping from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012

I have a 2005 primary sql database (production-constantly updated). I would like to have (pseudo) real time copy in a secondary 2012 sql server instance. I want to run SSRS 2012 on this new secondary server. The end goal is to have users
access 2012 SSRS (uninterrupted) on the secondary server with a copy of "real-time" data from the primary 2005 server.
I plan to implement log shipping between the two servers. Do I have to restore using NO RECOVERY? I have read that I can not use STANDBY mode when restoring between 2005->2012. If so, is there a way to implement this without taking the
secondary sever offline?
Any other suggestions, on how to implement this?
Thanks.

Hi....
It should work for sure.. We have done exactly the same as you're proposing, log shipping from 2005 to 2012. Its always possible lower to higher but higher to lower is not possible.
Nothing will happen to SSRS.
Note : that we weren't using the SQL Server Log Shipping features, but our own custom scripts to do the backup/restore.
Please read the below links for more details and reference....

Fetching from SQL 2012

Hi folks,
We are using Oracle application 12.1.1 , Database version 10.2.0.4 on Solaris 10 plaform, and we have Micorsoft SQl server 2012 Database on windows
2008 server service pack 2.
i have created the same tables which i need to fetching data from SQL server database to EBS application i mean oracle Database
So my question is here how can i fetch the data from Oracle application and load into Oracle Database from SQL 2012.
can one suggest me or give any link which tell about details steps.
thanks & Regards.

Hi,
There are 2 different ways you could do this.
1. You could use an Oracle Gateway product - either Database Gateway for SQL*Server (Dg4MSQL) or Database Gateway for ODBC (Dg4ODBC) - and use SQL to select from the SQL*Server tables and put into Oracle tables.
If you have access to My Oracle Support then the following note has links to further details -
Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products (Doc ID 1083703.1)
or this link if you do not -
Oracle Database Gateways
2. Oracle GoldenGate
This can automatically replicate data from SQL*Server to Oracle or vice versa if necessary.

Silent install parameters for Mgmt Studio (from SQL 2012 SP1 Express)

Hi All,
I'm looking to incorporate the installation of SQL Management studio ONLY from the SQL 2012 Sp1 Express bundle, into System Centre Configuration Manager. I need the silent installation options to install all features for it.
File used - SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe
From URL - http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=35579
I'm looking for something like this:
"SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /QUIET /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms="True"
/FEATURES= etc.....
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I just want to run the command and have it install SQL 2012
Management Studio (this one is the full version) without having to run through the whole setup.exe process and it's silent installation..
Thanks in advance

Hello,
First you need to extract the content of the .EXE file to a local folder, as shown below:
SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe /x
Then you can try to run the following command:
"c:\folder_containing_installation_files\setup.exe" /ACTION=INSTALL /QUIET /FEATURES=SSMS /HIDECONSOLE
Hope this helps.

Migration of Reports from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012

Hi,
I have 50 Reports in SSRS 2005 currently in production server. My Client want to migrate to SSRS 2012.
I migrated one RDL using BIDS. I am using list items inside Text Box in those Reports. The Problem is design and style of the Report changed in SSRS 2012.
Borders are not coming correctly.
I want the same Report in 2012 also.
Please suggest what to do?
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Bala

Hi Bala,
Gernerally, when you upgrade a Reporting Services installation to a SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS) installation, existing reports and snapshots that have been published to a report server are compiled and automatically upgraded to the new schema
the first time they are processed. If a report cannot be automatically upgraded, the report is processed using the backward-compatibility mode. The report definition remains in the original schema.
Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.
As you have mentioned that you got the layout problem when you add the report to BIDS, the issue can be caused the upgration have some limitation.
In your scenario, i recommend you to upload the rdl file to the SSRS2012 server directly to see if the layout will change, but upload direcly will not upgrate this report.
Details information about upgrade and migration in the below articles for your reference：
Upgrading Reports
Upgrade and Migrate Reporting Services
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

SQL 2000 LINKED SERVER ERROR 7303 WITH SQL 2012 ON WINDOWS SERVER 2012 R2

Hi all,
I have a problem with SQL Server 2012 and a linked server for SQL 2000 database.
System specification:
Windows server 2012 64 bit
SQL SERVER 2012 64 bit
REMOTE SERVER SQL 2000 32 bit
I've installed sql native client 32bit,create a SYSTEM DSN odbc connection with "SQL Server" driver named "MYSERVER".
Create a linked server with the query below in SQL 2012:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server =N'MYSERVER', @srvproduct=N'MYSERVER', @provider=N'MSDASQL', @datasrc =N'MYSERVER', @location=N'System';
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'MySERVER',@useself=N'True',@locallogin=NULL,@rmtuser=NULL,@rmtpassword=NULL
GO
but when i browse the linked server i receved error 7303.

You need 64-bit MSDASQL. It is the bitness of the server you are connecting from that matters. 64-bit executables cannot hook into 32-bit DLL.
However, I suspect that you will not get things to work anyway. At least I have not seen anyone this far who has been able to set up a linked server from SQL 2012 to SQL 2000. I know that when I tried this, the following providers had this result:
SQLNCLI11 - does not support connections to SQL 2000.
SQLNCLI10 - failed with some obscure message that I don't recall.
SQLNCLI - Don't recall that the problem was here.
SQLOLEDB - SQLOLEDB is always replaced with the most recent version of SQLNCLI, so this fails because of lack of support.
I don't think I got through all version of the ODBC drivers, though.

Judging by the error message I would say the setup is trying to access a network share that is no longer available to the node due to the failover. How many instances are installed in each node?
Open resource monitor and, in the disk section, check which files are being accessed by I/O threads. See if there are any files in use that the SP2 installer would supposedly try to access.
If possible, save the resource monitor results, failback the instance, and check disk usage in the other node to try to detect any abnormal disk access.

How to upgrade SQL 2012 Clustering Enterprise Evaluation to SQL 2012 Clustering Standard Editon

Dear All,
    My environment configured 2 Servers for SQL 2012 Clustering Enterprise Evaluation with Active/Passive. Then I Would like to upgrade from SQL 2012 Clustering Enterprise Evaluation to SQL 2012 Clustering Standard Edition with Active/Passive
on same 2 Servers.
    I would like you help to share me the step how to upgrade from SQL 2012 Clustering Enterprise Evaluation to SQL 2012 Clustering Standard Edition.
    I should upgrade on both Servers or just upgrade only one of them?
    I should upgrade on Active node first or passive node first?
    During upgrade, I should bring offline resource before upgrade?
I saw only step upgrade evaluation edition on standalone Server but can't find information for upgrade on Cluster environment.
Could you please help provide me the step for do this.

Hello,
As per this MS article
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393.aspx
Upgrading from Evaluation Enterprise (a free edition) to any of the paid editions is supported for stand-alone installations, but is not supported for clustered installations.
Changing the edition of a SQL Server 2012 failover cluster is limited. The following scenarios are not supported for SQL Server 2012 failover clusters:
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise to SQL Server 2012 Developer, Standard, or Enterprise Evaluation.
SQL Server 2012 Developer to SQL Server 2012 Standard or Enterprise Evaluation.
SQL Server 2012 Standard to SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Evaluation.
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Evaluation to SQL Server 2012 Standard.
So i think upgrade to Standard edition is not possible on cluster.
What you can do is take full and transaction log backup of All databases.Backup your users and logins and jobs by script method.
Now destroy SQL server 2012 evaluation cluster and create new SQL server standard cluster.
Just FYI( not related to this): You just need to run edition upgrade on a single node, you can choose to run from either an active or passive node. After running, you need to cause a failover to happen. Once the failover happens, all of the nodes along with
the database engine will be updated.

Hi Logicinisde,
What the new error message do you get after using the workarounds in this

Besides, as SQL Server 2012 has stopped connecting to SQL Server 2000 via linked servers, personally I recommend you upgrade SQL Server 2000 to a higher version to make your queries or ETLs efficient.

Upgrade Process from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012

Hi All,
I have gone thru multiple threads and would like to understand some steps in detail for me to upgrade SQL 2005 to SQL 2012.
Below is my understanding and questions around it, I would be setting up a new environment with OS 2007/2008 with SQL 2012:
Environment Readiness - Ensure new environment is ready with Win 2007/2008 with SQL 2012 Server
Run Upgrade Advisor on the new environment and point to SQL 2005 instance
Find the breaking/discontinued changes to be done before or After Upgrade
<Question>: Over here I would like to know what should be our approach to make the required changes
<Question>: Obviously I should not be making changes directly on the Production SQL 2005 server, then in that case should I take a backup/restore on the new SQL Server 2012 and then make the required changes to the database objects
like (Table schema(changing column names/datatypes etc.), Stored Procedure, Functions & Views)
<Question>: When I do a backup/restore I would also get the data along with it, so is this a recommended approach or should we only run/use the table schema creation scripts, fix the issues identified by UA and then do an Table to Table import,
any thoughts on this ?
<Question>: If I have to do a table to table Import then I should ensure there's a downtime during the Import or would I have any other better approach
So, basically my questions are around the approach of fixing the issues identified by UA and moving the database to SQL Server 2012 environment, I have around 300 databased to me upgraded.
Please do let me know what should be a good/proven approach ? Pl. do let me know if you would need any more details from me.
---Umesh

Thanks all for the replies.
I am trying summarize what I have understood here:
Document SQL Server 2005 environment details, Is there any tool which could give us all relevant details
I would take the backup from the SQL Server 2005 Production environment and then restore the same in a test environment which again has SQL Server 2005 and Run Upgrade Advisor on that
Probbaly run SQL Profiler as well to find out the deprecated changes to be done
I should fix all the breaking, discontinued changes on the Test system identified by UA
I should fix all the deprecated changes on the Test system identified by SQL Profiler
Steps 3 & 4 should give me the changed scripts for all database objects (i.e. Table Schema, Stored Procedures, Functions & Views)
<Question> Perform test, I understand this acitivity test can be captured by having SQL profiler running in the background on the SQL Server 2005 production environment where we can identify some days in a week or a month where maximum activity is
expected to ensure we cover most the scenarios, let me know is this approach looks fine or is there a better approach
Now, with regards to acutal upgrade I need to identify a time window where in less activity is done during which I could have a downtime for the actual SQL Server 2005 production environment
Post downtine, I should do a BackUp for all databases from SQL Server 2005 production environment
Test on environment readiness of SQL Server 2012 can be compared against the documentation done as part of the first Step
<Question> Ideally I should a restore first in the new environment which has SQL Server 2012
<Question> Then run the Scripted changes where we fixed all the breaking, discontinued & deprecated changes
<Question> Does above sequence of Step 9 & 10 make sense or is there a better approach of doing it
<Question> Post Upgrade and running of changed scripts, I should run the Upgrade Advisor again and see if everything looks fine
<Question> Perform test again which we ran on SQL Server 2005 Test environment
<Question> These steps should complete the Upgrade process.
Please do let me know if the above sequence look ok to all of you and does it really work in a practical scenario, do let me know your feedback or any change in sequence/process or any other tools that can be used here.
Thanks Again ...

Conversion from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 Express

Looking to move a small database from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 Express - can a 2005 backup file be restored to a newly created 2012 Express database file?

Are you using 2005 express? Yes, you can do that
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177429.aspx
Note that if you restore a SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server 2012, the database is automatically
upgraded.
Also you
cannot
do a cross
edition restore i.e. from enterprise edition (2005) backup to 2012 express

Deprecated Code - Migration from SQL 2005 to 2012

Hi,
We're planning to upgrade our database from SQL Server 2005 to 2012. Based on this
link, it seems there's no code conversion needed in terms of Data Type, Keywords in creating SPs, Function, trigger.
The only thing that concerns me is this
Set options
SET ROWCOUNT for INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements
TOP keyword
SET ROWCOUNT
109
But other than that, it should be good.
I would also like to get any feedback from other user who migrated their database from 2005 to 2012. What were the issues encountered during the process. Any tips and suggestion will be much appreciated.
Many Thanks.

What is your mode of upgrade
1. In place
2. Side by side
You must also read
Breaking changes to DB engine features in SQL Server 2012
Breaking changes to SQL Server features in SQL Server 2012
If you are just using DB engine features and SSIS I would advise you to first run upgrade advisor and look for breaking changes or unsupported scenarios. make sure you mitigate all such issues.
There is also a feature where you can side by side upgrade database by backup restore to SQL Server 2012 and still keep
compatibility level to 90
(but that is not advised)
I have migrated database from 2008 to 2012 but not from 2005 but above documents were very handy and would work quite well.
