Maintenance Plan Issue in SQL 2005

Hi All,
In SQL 2005 server maintenance plans are not active. If we execute maintenance plan manually, it will show as success but actually it is not running and history also not recording.
Server Details:
Product version: 9.00.1399.06
Product Level: RTM
Product Edition: Developer Edition
OS: Windows server 2003 with SP2, Enterprise Edition
We are able to create maintenance plans, also SQL agent jobs are running fine.
But maintenance plans are not working.
Can anyone please suggest, what will be the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ashwin,
Thanks for your immediate reply.
Sure will apply SP4 asap.
Maintenance plan created to take backups, when I right click and execute maintenance plan, it will show as success but backups are not happening, also in view history nothing is recording.
Actually no maintenance plan is working on this server.
If I modify any maintenance plan while saving modifications, it is showing bellow message. But changes are reflecting in maintenance plan
Message:
Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes ( xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)
Ex: Right clicked on backup maintenance plan and selected modify.
then added one more database name in backup list and while saving changes, we are getting above message.

This problem occurs if some of the stored procedures while installing SP2 has not been applied successfully. So manually run the script below and it may resolve
your issue. It resolved ours and we went throught exact same process of re-installing several times.
                1)
First go to the folder Install . The default location is this = “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Install “ .
Please post back still your issue not resolves.
2)
Then in this folder find this “sysdbupg.sql” .
3)
Please open this script with a nodepad.
4)
Then copy the
whole script and then paste it in the Query window of the Management studio.
5)
Then execute this script.
6)
Once this script has been successfully executed, The issue should be resolved.

Database updates statistics maintenance plan issue.

Hi team,
We are configured one job through maintenance plan that job name is “database update statistics” and database size is 280 Gb, this job executing 13 to 15 hours but job was not finished still it’s continually running.
This same job I am running through below script it’s executing within 2 hours.
Use database
Go
Exec sp_updatestats
What is the main problem if this maintenance plan.
Note: on this server no jobs and no traffic, only abc_update subpaln1 Job.

Hello,
Updating stats for whole database which is 280 G will always result in problem.It is better to run update statistics for tables and indexes which are changed frequently.
Now to your question few points which sp_Updatestas list in BOL
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173804.aspx
sp_updatestats updates statistics on disabled nonclustered indexes and does not update statistics on disabled clustered indexes.
sp_updatestats updates only the statistics that require updating based on the rowmodctr information in the sys.sysindexes catalog view, thus avoiding unnecessary updates of statistics
on unchanged rows.

Maintenance Plan Issue

Dear All,
I have maintained Strategy with Offset as 6 12 36 76 & 84 Months & no cycle length for the same .
As i wanted to get order only for specific months , now as i schedule the plan the system is creating order for past dates dates also which i don't want .
Tasklist Key Date - 01.01.2006 as we want to upload back date data.
E.g Start date 01.01.2008
1     29.06.2008                                   HF     New start Save to call
2     26.12.2008                                   Y     Scheduled Save to call
3     16.12.2010                                   3Y     Scheduled Save to call
4     25.11.2014     25.11.2014                 7Y     Scheduled Hold
Please suggest what setting i have to change.
Thanks & regards
Ajay

Hi,
1. If u dont want past dates then u can enter restart and enter present /future date ..in start date of the Maintenance Plans ..,IP10 ..
2. If ur using offset then on scheduling system first calculates planned dates as per offset cycle for each package then goes to the cycle length of the packages .
3. You can use Hirerachy in strategies in IP11 if u want to avoid unwanted calls , Like 6month call if u do not want to generate on 12th month then hirerachy will be helpful , in this for 12th month u can H2, 6th -H1,same for other packages also
4. If ur looking for something different u can explore user exit :-IPRM0002 Determine planned date info for maintenance plan

Case sensitive issue CF7 & SQL 2005

I had to rebuild a database from a backup recently. Now I am having a case sensitive issue in my queries that I did not have before.
The following use to work with Rockmart in lowercase even though Rockmart was in the table as all uppercase like so ROCKMART.
<cfquery name="updateAreas" datasource="mySource">
   UPDATE Property
   SET AR = 3610
   WHERE City = 'Rockmart'
</cfquery>
The above has stopped working now the query must specify ROCKMART because it is in the table in all upper case.
My database option is set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Any ideas.
Many thanks for you help.
Brian

A collation can be specified at the server, database, and column level in SQL server. The column collation will take precedence over the database collation. Check that the collation for the column is case-insensitive. You can use the query below to get the column's collation.
SELECT COLUMN_NAME, COLLATION_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Property'
    AND COLUMN_NAME = 'City'
You can get info on the collations supported by SQL Server at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144250%28SQL.90%29.aspx
You can change a column's collation if you need to, but you should be sure that this will not affect any other applications which query the same data. Another option is to specify the desired collation in your query as suggested by glynjackson.

SQL 2012 SP2 - Cannot open Maintenance Plans in SQL Management Studio

Hello...
We have a number of SQL 2012 SP2 instances running on Server 2012 R2 where we cannot open any Maintenance Plans via the SQL Management Studio.
At times we've received an error message screen when attempting to open the Plan, but most of the time just nothing happens when you try to open the Plan.
I cannot get any of them to display the error now to even provide more information there.
This happens even after a reboot and/or restarting SQL server.
Everything else seems to be working and we can examine the individual pieces under the SQL Server Agent -> Jobs, but we cannot open the Maintenance Plan itself.
We can even create new Plans via the "Maintenance Plan Wizard" but not from "New Maintenance Plan" and once a Plan exists, we can't open it.
As a test, I tried connecting from a SQL 2008 R2 server and am able to open the plans, so it appears to be a SQL 2012 Management Studio issue rather than the Plans.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you...

Hello,
Once you modify and save a maintenance plan with a greater version of SSMS (let’s say SSMS 2014) you cannot modify it again
with an earlier version of SSMS again ( SSMS 2012 or earlier). That may be a possibility.
If you did not modify the maintenance plan with SSMS 2014, then try to repair SQL Server 2012, apply the latest service
pack (SP2), or try to uninstall only SSMS and reinstall it again.
If you have Visual Studio installed, please apply the latest update.
Hope this helps.

SSRS 2012 rendering issue/Enabling Anonymous access - Upgraded SSRS from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012.

Hi,
I just recently upgraded SQL 2005 SSRS to SQL 2012 SSRS. Everything is working great other than small issue.
Sounds like some authentication issue. SQL 2005 SSRS - IIS, we enabled anonymous access and we never had this problem. SQL 2012 SSRS /WIN 2008 R2 - I am not sure how to enable anonymous access.
If anyone can help me on this? I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Vel
Vel Thavasi

Hi Vel,
According your description, you want to know how the enable anonymous access to SSRS 2012. Right?
In SSRS 2008 or later version, we are not using IIS any more. If we want to configure the authentication, we need to configure in RSReportServer.config. This file locate at:
<drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS12.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer
However, in SSRS 2012, Anonymous authentication is not supported on report server. Please see:
Authentication with the Report Server
In this scenario, we need to custom an authentication type to achieve the "Anonymous" goal. Please refer to the link:
Configure Custom or Forms Authentication on the Report Server
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Bad Performance on SQL 2005 multiserver installation

We have upgraded our server environment from a single server solution with SQL 2000 and are now running on a multiserver solution with one DB server with SQL 2005 and two applictionservers.
And now we are experience a much slower performance in our new environment on all EVDRE reports. Is there anyone who know about any issue with a multiserver environment or SQL 2005 that makes the reports slower?
In our more advanced report with "expand by sheet" that took about 1 minute to expand on our old environment can take up to 10 minutes to expand in our new environment.
Both servers are running BPC 5.1 SP5 patch 1

The SQL Server version is very good and the performance problems should not come from there.
Please make sure you check the document from sd regarding
SAP_BPC_Performance_Tuning_Guide.doc to be sure you have the right configuration for OLAP and SQL and also application server.
Can you please provide an information regarding what kind of configuration do you have into this multiserver environment?
It is important also nr. of processors and memory for each server.
Do you have a maintenance plan for your SQL server database?
If you don't have that can cause again a big problem regarding performances.
Please run into management studio exec sp_updatestats for you database to be sure that you have at least update statistics.
So all these things mentioned before should be managed carefully to be sure that you have good performances into system.
From application point of view make sure that you schedule lite optimize to be sure that you don't have more than 40000 rows into wb table.

SQL 2005 Distributed Transactions from WCF

Hello,
I've been redirected here from the Transaction Programming forum becuase I have e peculiar issue with SQL 2005 running INSERT stored procs from multiple WCF services all withing a TransactionScope.
The original post is http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2720665&SiteID=1&mode=1
The story goes, I have SRVC A with starts a TransactionScope which in turn calls SRVC B & C in sequence based on processing rules.
SRVC A is a Sequential Workflow which Starts and Completes the TransactionScope
SRVC B Creates a new Customer into the database
SRVC C Creates new Accounts for that Customer and Initialises the accounts with funds
The DB Tables underneath are Customer, Account and AccountLog
DDL
Code Block
CREATE TABLE [Member].[Customers](
[CustomerId] [int]
IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Name] [varchar](32) NOT NULL,
[CreatedUtc] [datetime] NOT NULL ,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Customer] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[CustomerId]
ASC
CREATE TABLE [Bank].[Accounts](
[AccountId] [int]
IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[CustomerId] [int] NOT NULL,
[CurrentBalance] [money] NOT NULL,
[LastUpdateDate] [datetime] NULL,
[CreatedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[timestamp] [timestamp] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Bank_Account] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[AccountId]
ASC
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
ALTER TABLE [Bank].[Accounts] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Account_Customer] FOREIGN KEY([CustomerId])
REFERENCES [Member].[Customers] ([CustomerId])
CREATE TABLE [Bank].[AccountLog](
[AccountLogId] [int]
IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[AccountId] [int] NOT NULL,
[Amount] [money] NOT NULL,
[UtcDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Bank_AccountLog] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[AccountLogId]
ASC
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
ALTER TABLE [Bank].[AccountLog] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_AccountLog_Account] FOREIGN KEY([AccountId])
REFERENCES [Bank].[Accounts] ([AccountId])
NB. I've removed most fields not essential for this example.
So from SRVC A I invoke SRVC B and the Customer is created, however when I get to SRVC C and the accounts are to be created I get a lock. Only when the Transaction aborts due to timeout, do I see in SQL Profiler that the call to the SP that created the Account is executed but eventually rolls back as it is part of the distributed transaction.
Now, If I set the Isolation level in the TransactionScope to ReadUncommitted (urgh) the problem remains. When I set the IsolationLevel to Read Uncommitted in the SP that creates the account the problem remains but when I remove the FK constraint the problem disappers. The other curious thing is that with the Customer -> Account FK removed and when SRVC C calls to insert funds into the AccountLog which also updates an aggregated total in the Account from within the same transaction scope and with Account -> AccountLog FK constraints in place there is no locking even with Isolation Serializable.
I'm quite at a loss as to what could be causing these issues. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks
Andy

Use the Maintenance Plan Wizard to create a maintenance plan:
"This topic describes how to create a single server or multiserver maintenance plan using the Maintenance Plan Wizard in SQL Server 2012. The Maintenance Plan Wizard creates a maintenance plan that Microsoft SQL Server Agent can run on a regular
basis. This allows you to perform various database administration tasks, including backups, database integrity checks, or database statistics updates, at specified intervals."

sqlmaint.exe
was missing from MSDE 2000, but that was fixed in SP1 I think. Since this is SP3
you probably have a missing registry value for the backup directory.
I
had to fix a similar problem last year on a bunch of laptops. They were all
missing a registry value. Anyway, here is the fix:
1. Fire up regedit and
look under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer
2. Ensure you have
a string value called BackupDirectory. The value for this should be the path to
your backup dir. The default value is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\BACKUP
btw, this fix assumes you have a default instance
installed. A named instance will have slightly different registry location and
filesystem path.

"Value cannot be null" error when trying to edit or create Maintenance Plan in SQL Server 2008

I have SQL Server 2008 installed on Windows Server 2008 64bit, every time I try to open or create a new Maintenance Plan I receive the error:
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: component (System.Design)
Program Location:

I have searched for a possible solution and have tried some suggestions of registering the msxml6.dll but and have installed VS2008 SP1 but I'm not in a position where I can do a full reinstall of SQL Server right now. Any help is appreciated. My SQL server
environment information is below.
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.4206

I digged a little deeper and figured out it was a missing directory/file in %TEMP%. Seems some CleaningTool removes all files/directories in %Temp% and after that SSMS was not working any longer. The missing file is actually not needed, but the
missing directory causes the "Value cannot be null" error.
My missing file name was:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2\6vvdaozf.tmp
But the file name changes on every startup.
So my missing directory name was:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2
After creating a empty directory with the name "2" in %TEMP% all went back to work fine for me.
I'm not sure the directory name is every time the same, but you can discover your missing file with the process monitor from Sysinternal Tools and filters to "Process Name is ssms.exe" and "Path contains AppData\Local\Temp"
Hope this helps other people to solve their issues too.
Thank you!! When I run %temp% it takes me to "C:\Users\Admin ...~\AppData\Local\Temp\some random number". At first the random number was 3, after I logged off and back on it was 2. My temp variable in enviromental variables is correct. I looked on another machine
running SQL2008 and temp is correct there. If I try to rename the numbered folder SSMS stops working. Any idea?

SQL Server Maintenance Plan does not run DEL command in .BAT

Hello,
I have a T-SQL Statement task in my Maintenance Plan that runs a .BAT file and it runs OK when manually executed. The .BAT file has a del d:\backups\*.* command in it. However, when the plan runs automatically at a scheduled time, the .BAT file does
not delete files. Could this be a permissions issue?
Paul

Hi Paul,
This looks like a permission issue. Make sure the account SQL instance is running has delete permissions on the folder from which you are trying to delete and also make sure the account has execute permission on that batch file.

SQL maintenance plan job problem - cannot remove a job

Hi,
I have a SQL 2008 R2 server running SP2. I changed the start time to hour A on a maintenance job under maintenance plan, a few weeks later I changed it back (hour B). The maintenance job still runs at the changed start time (hour A). I even completly
deleted the job, and I do not see that job under SQL maintenance plan and agent job anymore. But somehow SQL still tries to start the job at the changed time (hour A), and sends out error messages saying the job fails.
I have restarted the entire server also. Same issue.
The job is not a special one. Just a db index optimize script that ran fine within the maintenance job before I changed the time. Actually, now I just set it up as a SQL agent job, not a maintenance job, and it runs fine.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.

Martians! That is the sign of computer invasion by martians!
Did you try to delete the maintenance plan (not the job!) and recreate it?
