Maintaining the structure of a SQL Server staging area and dwh aligned with the Oracle data source

Hi,
I'm working in a context where the data source system, in Oracle, is a continuos work in progress. Each 1-2-3 weeks the data source system in the prod environment is updated with new tables or updated table (with new columns or altered columns). So, it is
important to apply in a rapid manner the related changes in the data structure of the SQL Server staging area and dwh.
The issues to solve are:
a. maintaining SQL Server data structure of the staging area aligned with the data structure of the Oracle data source;
b. maintaing SQL Server data structure of the staging area aligned with the data structure of the SQL Server staging area.
In order to solve these issues it could be useful to think to an authomatic manner to alert when a data structure change occurs and a simple manner to apply the changes on SQL Server data structure.
Any suggests, please? Many thanks

We use Oracle CDC service in SQLServer. It has a flag to indicate the schema changes happening at the Oracle end. We track the schema changes using it and then apply changes to sqlserver side. And regarding automation you can use Biml as suggested or .NET
scripts inside script task.

  • Is it possible to uninstall IE 11 from Windows Server 2012 R2 and replace it with the latest version of IE 10?

    Is it possible to uninstall IE 11 from Windows Server 2012 R2 and replace it with the latest version of IE 10? We have a remote desktop farm setup with 2012 R2 servers and we are publishing some web links that only work with IE10. As a result, we need to
    downgrade the remote desktop servers to IE10. I have a feeling that this isn't possible, but if I could get a definitive answer, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you!

    Hi,
    Agreed with DonPick.
    Internet Explorer 11 is preinstalled with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
    More information regarding Internet Explorer 11, please check:

  • Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

    Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

    Thanks Kelly,
    The answers would be the following:
    1200 cells per custom section (NEW COUNT), and up to 30 custom sections per spec.
    Assuming all will be populated, and this would apply to all final material specs in the system which could be ~25% of all material specs.
    The cells will be numeric, free text, drop downs, and some calculated numeric.
    Are we reaching the limits for UI performance?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
    Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
    Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
    In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

  • SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server 2012 PPIV - using a PPIV workbook as a data source - getting PPIV web service error

    I created a PowerPivot (SQL Server 2012 SP1) workbook and uploaded it to SharePoint 2010 Portal and started using it as a data source in an excel file. This worked fine and we saw no issues with it until we moved to SharePoint 2013 environment.
    I uploaded the same PowerPivot workbook (source workbook) to SharePoint 2013 Portal and now trying to use it as a data source. I tried to change connection properties so that I could use the new portal address for the workbook. When
    I try to save my changes, I see that OLAP queries are getting fired "Refreshing OLAP cube" shows up in the status bar, but eventually after running these OLAP queries (I would say after a minute), I get the following error -
    Couldn't find anything specific in SharePoint logs or maybe I wasn't looking for the right thing.
    Has anyone seen this issue? Why would PPIV service throw an error after running for a while? Is it a timeout issue of some kind? How can we take care of this?
    Thanks,
    Sonal

    ULS log showed the following exception: The maximum number of allowed sessions per user has been exceeded.
    Under Excel Services global settings, max limit is set. Default is 25, increasing it resolved this issue.

    Hi all,
    I am using db adapter to update data in bpel. The database is sql server.
    But on the running time, i find a field which named 'JDBCT1' can't be updated. all the other fields of this table can be updated properly.
    For the operation type, i have tried the update only and execute pure sql. None of them works.
    The version of SOA is 11.1.1.6.
    Can any one give some solutions?
    It's urgent, thank you!

    Hi,
    Pls check the data type in your mapping file and data type in table. It might be mismatched.

  • SQL Server Reporting Services: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

    Hey everyone, So I am trying to get a report onto the server, and in BIDS I kept getting a login screen repeating over and over when I tried to deploy my report, so I tried to upload the file at http://<servername>/Reports This worked, but then trying
    to run this report from http://<servername>/Reports did not work either because "An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Cannot create a connection to data source 'FTYDataSource'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection) For more information
    about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors" Anyways I tried to add a New Data Source (which I would use in the report) at http://<servername>/Reports, type ODBC, with the connection string Dsn=blah_blahblah.
    I try to test the connection here and get the error ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified This is really getting old fast, everything I try, a new error comes up. Granted I am new at this,
    but this still should not be this troublesome. Does anyone have any ideas on what could FINALLY allow me to just put a report out onto the server?!? THANK YOU in advance for ANY help.

    Hi,
    Please try setting the credentials of the datasource.

  • Need to delete the old page number from a combined file and replace it with the new number. is there a way for me to do that using JavaScipt

    is there a way of using JS to delete the old page number (1,3,32,78) on a combined PDF and inset it with a new page numbers (1,2,3,4) Thank you

    Depends. If the page numbers can be located by their location on the page then a script can be written to redact that area, and then add new page numbers in their place (or somewhere else).

  • GPO for enabling the 'My Computer' icon on Win 7 desktops, and renaming it with the machine's hostname?

    Is there a GPO that can allow me to enable the My Computer icon on my Windows 7 SP1 Pro clients, as well as automatically renaming it from 'My Computer' to the actual hostname of the machine?

    Even in Windows 7, there still isn’t a Group Policy setting that will let you add the ‘My Computer’ icon to the desktop (unless you forcibly change the Start Menu to Classic) and then change the name from My Computer to anything else. I am very
    surprised this isn’t a setting but we can still modify the registry to achieve this (either inside a GPO or with a script):
    To show the ‘My Computer’ icon on the desk"text-decoration:underline;">
    [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
    Name = {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
    Type =REG_DWORD
    Value = 0
    To change the ‘My Computer’ icon to computer or user name:
    [HKCR\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]
    Name = LocalizedString
    Type = REG_EXPAND_SZ
    Data value = %computername% or any combination you like – eg %username% %computername%
    Don’t forget you will need to change the permissions / ownership on this registry key so that you can change it – by default even Administrators cannot modify it.
    These both apply to Windows XP and 7 and Windows Server 2003 and 2008.

  • Welcome to the SQL Server Disaster Recovery and Availability Forum

    (Edited 8/14/2009 to correct links - Paul)
    Hello everyone and welcome to the SQL Server Disaster Recovery and Availability forum. The goal of this Forum is to offer a gathering place for SQL Server users to discuss:
    Using backup and restore
    Using DBCC, including interpreting output from CHECKDB and related commands
    Diagnosing and recovering from hardware issues
    Planning/executing a disaster recovery and/or high-availability strategy, including choosing technologies to use
    The forum will have Microsoft experts in all these areas and so we should be able to answer any question. Hopefully everyone on the forum will contribute not only questions, but opinions and answers as well. I’m looking forward to seeing this becoming a vibrant forum.
    This post has information to help you understand what questions to post here, and where to post questions about other technologies as well as some tips to help you find answers to your questions more quickly and how to ask a good question. See you in the group!

    How to ask a good question
    Make sure to give all the pertinent information that people will need to answer your question. Questions like “I got an IO error, any ideas?” or “What’s the best technology for me to use?” will likely go unanswered, or at best just result in a request for more information. Here are some ideas of what to include:
    For the “I got an IO error, any ideas?” scenario:
    The exact error message. (The SQL Errorlog and Windows Event Logs can be a rich source of information. See the section on error logs below.)
    What were you doing when you got the error message?
    When did this start happening?
    Any troubleshooting you’ve already done. (e.g. “I’ve already checked all the firmware and it’s up-to-date” or "I've run SQLIOStress and everything looks OK" or "I ran DBCC CHECKDB and the output is <blah>")
    Any unusual occurrences before the error occurred (e.g. someone tripped the power switch, a disk in a RAID5 array died)
    If relevant, the output from ‘DBCC CHECKDB (yourdbname) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS’
    The SQL Server version and service pack level
    For the “What’s the best technology for me to use?” scenario:
    What exactly are you trying to do? Enable local hardware redundancy? Geo-clustering? Instance-level failover? Minimize downtime during recovery from IO errors with a single-system?
    What are the SLAs (Service Level Agreements) you must meet? (e.g. an uptime percentage requirement, a minimum data-loss in the event of a disaster requirement, a maximum downtime in the event of a disaster requirement)
    What hardware restrictions do you have? (e.g. “I’m limited to a single system” or “I have several worldwide mirror sites but the size of the pipe between them is limited to X Mbps”)
    What kind of workload does you application have? (or is it a mixture of applications consolidated on a single server, each with different SLAs) How much transaction log volume is generated?
    What kind of regular maintenance does your workload demand that you perform (e.g. “the update pattern of my main table is such that fragmentation increases in the clustered index, slowing down the most common queries so there’s a need to perform some fragmentation removal regularly”)
    Finding the Logs
    You will often find more information about an error by looking in the Error and Event logs. There are two sets of logs that are interesting:
    SQL Error Log: default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.#\MSSQL\LOG (Note: The # changes depending on the ID number for the installed Instance. This is 1 for the first installation of SQL Server, but if you have mulitple instances, you will need to determine the ID number you’re working with. See the BOL for more information about Instance ID numbers.)
    Windows Event Log: Go to the Event Viewer in the Administrative Tools section of the Start Menu. The System event log will show details of IO subsystem problems. The Application event log will show details of SQL Server problems.

    hi,I have a question on sql database high availability. I have tried using database mirroring, where I am using sql standard edition, in this database mirroring of synchronous mode is the only option available, and it is giving problem, like sql time out errors on my applicatons since i had put in the database mirroring, as asynchronous is only available on enterprise version, is there any suggestions on this. thanks ---vijay

  • Best Version of SQL Server to Run on Windows 7 Professional for Large Data Sets

    My company will soon be upgrading my work PC from XP to Windows 7 Professional.  I am currently running SQL Server 2000 on my PC and use it to load and analyze data large volumes of data.  I often need to work with 3GB to 5GB of data, and
    have had databases reach 15GB in size.  What would be the best version of SQL Server to install on my PC after the upgrade?  SQL Server Express just won't cut it.  I need more than 2GB of data and the current version of DTS functionality to
    load and transform data.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Its difficult to say what would be best for you. You can install SQL Server 2012 standard edition because that is supported on Windows 7 SP1, enterprise edition is not supported. SQL Server 2012 express has now database limitation of 10G which does not includes
    File stream size and log file size but does not provide SSIS features.
    Just have a look at features supported by various editions of SQL Server it will help you in deciding better
    I inclination is towards SQL Server 2012 because its now with SP2 and more stable than 2014( my personal opinion)

  • Automatically start SQL Agent service after SQL Server service fails and starts.

    Hi! 
    I have SQL Server 2008 R2 with two main services - SQL Server and SQL Agent.
    I'll try to describe my situation. It happens very occasionally, but sometimes SQL Server service terminates unexpectedly. It's my log:
    09/13/2013 10:46:21,Service Control Manager,Error,The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 120000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
    09/13/2013 10:46:21,,Error,[359] The local host server is not running,,,,
    09/13/2013 10:46:22,MSSQLSERVER,Error,The MSSQLSERVER service terminated unexpectedly.,Server,1073760843,,

    09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Warning,[360] SQLServerAgent initiating shutdown following MSSQLSERVER shutdown,,,,
    As you can see, SQL Server service  terminates unexpectedly. Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service. After unsuccessfully attempts to start SQL Server service, SQL Agent service stops itself. I have the option setting in SQL Server
    service to start itself after unexpectedly stop within 2 minutes and it is works well. But I have to start my SQL Agent service after this manually. Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly and in this case I just want
    to make the settings to start both of my services SQL Server and SQL Agent automatically after this.  How can I set up this? How can I make my SQL Agent service starts after SQL Server service?

    Hello,
    SQL server agent service depends on SQL server service so unless SQL server service comes online agent will not come online so agent is depended on SQL server not the other wise.
    Now is your server 2008 R2 patched to latest service pack (SP2).If not please upgrade it to latest SP.Some fixes are there in Sp which will subside this issue.Can you paste output of
    select @@version
    >>Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service.No this is not the case
    >>Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly
    Did you checked sql server errorlog and windows event log completely.Please do so and paste if you find some more info
