Mirror Database shows Recovery state in Database mirroring in sql 2012

Hi I am working on DBmirroring and have encountered problem of mirror database showing recovery state.
I tried to resolve issue by removing database mirroring from principal ,removing endpoints from both the nodes and
finally firing alter database db1 set partner off statement also.But when reconfigure dbmirroring on principal it does not allow
start dbmirroring and mirror database db1 comes in to recovery state from restoring stage.
srm_2010

ok in that case why it is not allowing me to configure db mirroring when I am trying from SSMS.It gives an error.tell me????
srm_2010
And what is the error ? If while configuring mirroring it fails for some reason you have to make sure the mirror database which has gone in recovery state needs to be brought in restoring state.

Hi,
This 3rd time I followed this link. But nothing new, same error.
Can you please tell me how to do follow, I cannt do the 1st step, how to change the local system to windows level account, vice-versa. It is shown mine as
Server Configuration Manager(Local)
From here I folllowed the steps ---[I cannt insert link/image :-(]
SQL 2008/R2 setup fails with "Wait on the database engine recovery handle failed"
If I right clicked on SQL Server Service, there is no option to change the account.
Hello,
Thanks for your patience,did you tried stesp mentioned in below article
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqljourney/archive/2012/03/16/sql-2008-r2-setup-fails-with-quot-wait-on-the-database-engine-recovery-handle-failed-quot.aspx
To resolve it, follow these steps:-
When the installation throws this error, click on OK and allow it to proceed. It will fail for Database Engine, but the SQL Server service should have
been created. Check the Services console.
If the service is present, perform the following steps:-
1. Go to SQL Server Configuration manager, right click on the SQL Server service, and change the service account (if it is local system, give
it a windows level account, and vice-versa). It might throw a WMI error but you will see the account getting updated anyway. If not, then use the Services console. Change the account for SQL Agent as well.
Use this link to change sql server service account
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345578.aspx
2. Next, try to start the service. It should come online.
3. However, you will not be able to log in to the SQL Server
4. Now stop the service and start it from the command prompt using -m -c -T3608 parameters.
5. Now try logging in to the server using admin connection from sqlcmd (sqlcmd admin:<server name>\<instance name> ...)
6. Once logged in, use the sp_addsrvrolemember '<domain\username>','sysadmin'.
Also add the builtin/administrators to the sysadmin role
7. Now stop the service from the command prompt and start it from SQL Server configuration manager
You should be able to log in to the server now.
Hope this helps someone.
Please revert if it helps or even if it does not

ISSUE Sharepoint 2013 databases for reporting services on the second server SQL 2012

Hello,
I have server A: Operating system windows 2012 standard, SQL server 2012 standard
instance: Sharepoint contains data for sharepint
instance: Reporting should be contain databases for reporting
Server B:
Windows server 2012 standard contains installation Sharepoint 2013
Sharepoint works (without reporting services), it is OK - databases are located on server A:
My issue is:
When I have installed reporting services on server B, I have already installed SQL server 2012 on server B, it works.
I am able to create report in report builder adn place it in to sharepoint.
But I would like to use only one full SQL machine on server A:
When I reconfigure repoting settings on server A in central administration - manage service aplications,
On the SQL server A in instance reporting , there is automatically created databases. It is no problem.
But the first difference is, when I want to manage service aplication for reporting in
Provision Subscriptions and Alerts, there is information
SQL Server Agent state cannot be determined
When I want to create report in report builder, I have issue:
server A-7380mw016\reporting it means server A with full SQL server:
The Test of connection was successful
Then I have clicked test connection
I have recieved this screen with fail: Logon faild for user NT Authority\anonymous logon
My account belongs to SQL admin on server A (A-7380mw016\reporting) I do not know it is not possible to create report, when it is possible to test connection in the first step and in the second step, there is problem...
Please, can somebody help me?

Hi,
Since you are getting an Anonymous Logon error, it appears there may be a problem passing your credentials to the SQL Server Agent Service. This would indicate a Kerberos issue. See this thread for details:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/46b7c773-6a77-435d-b471-cb9a6ec41c43/has-anyone-else-upgraded-reporting-services-to-denali-2012
Microsoft Virtual Academy: Breakthrough Insights using SQL Server 2012 : Analysis Services and Credible, Consistent data (Module 2) - Configuring and Securing Complex BI Applications in a SharePoint 2010 Environment with Microsoft SQL Server 2012
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/video/Video/hh858469
Tips from the video:
We are connecting to Reporting services using Kerberos when using Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode
For the account using reporting services, we just need a dummy SPN. We go to Attribute editor tab in AD for RS account. And then we will be enabled with Delegation tab.
In Delegation tab. I we are using claims to windows token, we need to use "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only"
There you have 2 options: "Use Kerberos only": It means I only want to delegate in the situation where the service that is doing the delegation actually has the Kerberos ticket to start with
"Use any authentication protocol" When we need protocol transition (like from NTLM to claims for intra farm communication)
We need to delegate this to SQL server.

Database in "Restoring" state --- HELP

Ok. I have spent hours on this already.
We were restoring a database from tape. The tape drive failed in the middle of the restore. So now we CANNOT restore from tape to try again.
Before I started the restore, I detached and made a copy of the database files.
The database is in "Restoring" state. All I want to do is DELETE the "restoring" database and attach the copy.
How do I get rid of this thing????? In 2000 it was an update of the sys.databases. In 2005, you cannot do that anymore.
SQL 2005 (9.0.2153)

I had a situation where my database showed restoring state and I couldn't run any queries and couldn't connect with our software.
What I did to get out of this situation is:
1. Stop all SQL related services from windows services.
2. I opened the DATA folder where the Ldf and Mdf files resides in the SQL directory, normally its like :
"C:\Program Files\***********\MSSQL\DATA
3. Then I copied both the Ldf and Mdf files of the database:
[db name].mdf and [db name]_log.ldf
I copied both of these files to another folder.
4. Then I started all the SQL related services (in step 1) again from windows services.
5. Started my MS SQL Management studio with normal login.
6. Right click on the culprit database and hit DELETE (to delete the database at all).
7. All the LDF and MDF files related to this database have gone from DATA folder (mentioned in step 2).
8. Created a new database with the same name (same name of the one I deleted in step 6 - the culprit database).
9. Then [database name]->right click -> tasks -> Take Offline.
10. I then Copied both the files (from step 3) back to the DATA folder (step 2).
11. [database name]->right click -> tasks -> Bring Online.
12. AlhamduLLilah , its all done.

Mirrored database in Disconnected/In Recovery state

I am running Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 database server I have a mirrored database that shows in the following state 'databasename (Principal, Disconnected/In Recovery)'. When I look at the mirror server is shows in the same state 'databasename (mirror, Disconnected/In
Recovery)'. I am not able to do anything with either DB, I cannot break the mirror, I can't take it offline, I cannot delete it. This is a Dev Database so if need be I could destroy it and re-create. But I would like to figure out what the issue is and get
it working again in case I was to have this problem in production.
Thanks for any Help!

Hi,
Please try running below in master database
restore database db_name with recovery
Chances are that this command would not succeed because I guess there was corruption in database and you restarted SQL Server service. Or can you please tell how your database went into recovery pending state.
Please check SQL Server errorlog you would find information regarding this change. Please post relevant log information here. Please check event viewer as well

Databases in Recovery Pending state

Dear all,
Need your expertise to understand bit more.
Yesterday i came across databases in "Recovery Pending" state problem.
Followed too many recommendations form Google but to no avail.
e.g. http://dbamohsin.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/cannot-detach-a-suspect-or-recovery-pending-database/
Plucked some leafs from Paul Randal's articles as well http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/post/Search-Engine-QA-4-Using-EMERGENCY-mode-to-access-a-RECOVERY-PENDING-or-SUSPECT-database.aspx
But none of them could fixed my problem.
What i did:
I installed 2008 r2 on a machine (DEV) which already had 2008; yea instance name was different.
Had to restart the server so i did (yea, i gave all developers enough time but due to some reasons databases were in recovery pending mode).
After restart, some databases (not all) were in recovery pending state. Above links provided enough stuff to recover them but didnt work. For instance after setting database in Emergency mode, it stayed there for ages telling something like "Database is
being recovered, wait until recovery is finished".
How i fixed it:
I attached them onto the newly created 2008 r2 instance. Made them offline (on old instance) in case there is any access conflict. Didnt get any error, like files are in use or something, while attaching them (which raised an eyebrow).
Couple of things i noticed after new instance's installation:
While trying to reattach database on same old instance, I wasn't able to see the .mdf and .ldf files form there respective drives. But i was able to see from the new instance.
WHY?
Both sql server services (old and new) were using same service account. When i gave service account enough ntfs permissions on the drive i was able to see all .mdf and .ldf files.
Questions are:
1) Why it wasnt the case before? Important to note here: service accounts were local admins on the server.
(I think i am answering myself here...would love to get more insight on it).
2) Is it normal that i just have 2008r2 tools in Start>>Program. e.g. there is just 2008 r2 management studio not 2008 one etc.
Dont want to let this happen in production environment (i will have backups though), so is there any approach you guys are using to avoid it.
I hope i made myself clear here, or let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Dinkar Chalotra

If you dont need your log file, you can:
Detach your database
Move the log file to other place
Attach back the database and from the file list, remove the ldf
SQL server will create a new log file and the database will be online again.

SQL 2012 Database Mirroring Issue is stalling

hi All,
I have a SQL 2012 Enterprise Primary and DR SQL Clusters.
I have a 500 GB TDE Enabled Using HSM SQL DB which I have mirrored across to DR.
I am noticing that my Logs are shipping to DR, but the Unrestored Log size is huge and My restore rate is about 0 - 80KB/Sec. This is Causing the unrestored
Log to grow on the DR side.
I also notice at times my Unsent Log is also getting big after any DB Maintenance activities (such as rebuild of indexes).
I have a dedicated connection between my datacenters and the traffic thruput is quite reasonable and I am able to copy out a 2GB File across within a few
minutes. I see no packet drops within my links.
How do I ensure that my unsent logs are copied out and also increase my restore rate in DR side.
Any help / Suggestions will be much appreciated.
Regards
Aravin.

You need to limit the amount of reindexing you do on your primary/principal as it generates a lot of logs which slows down mirroring and log shipping.

SQL 2012 database stuck in Recovery Pending status

Hey all. Thanks in advance to anybody that can please help me. I have a SQL cluster which ran out of disk the other day. I threw plenty more disk at the SAN. However, 1 of the databases came back with Recovery Pending and has been
over 24 hours. I have tried to backup the database with no success. I don't have a clean backup from the day it occured so would have a good amount of work missing.
Running a dbcc check returns the following:
Msg 945, Level 14, State 2, Line 1
Database 'sqldb' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details.
I have not tried a dbcc check with REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS as there seems to be a high risk of losing whatever was going on. Does anybody have an idea of how I can get the db back online?

Just a note... the database is not in Suspect mode, it is in Recovery mode. If there is a transaction in process, attaching and reattaching may or may not trigger the transaction to complete. The answer would be different if the database
were in suspect mode. The fact that it is now in CHECKPOINT shows that there is an incomplete transaction. Once back online, a backup can occur and the CHECKPOINT can resolve.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/110139?wa=wsignin1.0
Seems to me this is more like a case where the database is in log ship mode. In that case, the solution is relatively simple (this is not what needs to happen... it simulates what has happened):
RESTORE DATABASE MyDB WITH RECOVERY
USE master
ALTER DATABASE MyDB SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
ALTER DATABASE MyDB SET ONLINE
RESTORE DATABASE MyDB WITH RECOVERY
I don't believe you want to rollback anything though. As you state above, the big trick is to bring it online.
I think you can get it into Single User Mode and then from there, restore the diffs and the logs after backing up the tail, then restore the tail and put it back into multi-user mode. Given the difference in opinion here, I am feeling a little gunshy.

MANAGED RECOVERY AT STANDBY DATABASE REQURING OLD ARCHIVELOGS ORA-00308

Oracle 9.2.0.4
HP-UX 11.11i
The database in Archivelog mode, single standby database in managed recovery
mode.
keeping standby in sync with manual applying the ARCHIVELOG from primary to
standby database.
primary database was 3 REDO log members of 100 MB with 1 member each.
what i did, 1 drop and re-create the INACTIVE REDO group for all three, and
make them
5 REDO logs of 200 MB with 1 member each,
then in order to keep fresh copy of primary database onto standby database, i
send the cold backup after 15 days (last week) with standby controlfile.
now, with that standby controlfile and the database, i can mount the database
but while to open the database, receives messages as , it requiring the
ARCHIVELOGS generated log time ago.
changes the REDO groups from 3 to 5 and size 100 to 200 MB at INACTIVE state

What errors are in your alert logs ?
What command are you using to recover ?
Check the contents of v$archived_log
# run on primary to detect failures :-
select destination, status, fail_date, valid_now
from v$archive_dest
where status != 'VALID' or VALID_NOW != 'YES';
# run on standby to get exact position of rollforward :-
select thread#, to_char(snapshot_time,'dd-mon-yyyy:hh24:mi'),
to_char(applied_time,'dd-mon-yyyy:hh24:mi'),

Show results from the database to html tables?

Hi,
I am a PHP programmer and did a successful CMS program for a company. Now I have another project which is a web based system.
I basically know how to do it and finish it in PHP.. but I am trying to do it using J2EE.. I am trying to learn J2EE now since I have been programming
on J2SE for quite sometime..
I am trying to show the results from a MySQL database on a table on J2EE but I am having hard time doing that. I am trying to research online and reading books but with no luck I can't find any resources on how to do that..If you guys can lead me into a resource where I can read how to do it? or just give any ideas on how to do it correctly I'll try to read and learn I will very much appreciate it.. here's my coding please look at it. Thank you very much
I want to make it like this in a html table:
userid username activated task
1 alvin y delete(this will be a link to delete the user)
Right now this is what I was able to do so far:
Userid username activated task
1
alvin
y
Here are my codes... I am not even sure if I am doing it in the correct way...
User.java
mport java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Users {
public List getUsers(){
List names = new ArrayList();
try{
Connection con = DBConnect.getConnection();
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
String sql = "select * from users";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next())
String userid = rs.getString("user_id");
String usernames = rs.getString("user_name");
String password= rs.getString("password");
String activated= rs.getString("activated");
names.add(userid);
names.add(usernames);
names.add(password);
names.add(activated);
catch(SQLException e)
System.out.print(e);
catch(Exception e)
System.out.print(e);
return names;

Iterator it = results.iterator();
out.print("<table border = 1>");
out.print("<th>");
out.print("userid");
out.print("</th>");
out.print("<th>");
out.print("username");;
out.print("</th>");
while(it.hasNext()){
out.print("<tr><td> " + it.next()+"</td></tr>");
out.print("</table>");
%>
</body>
</html>

I suggest:
1: you use this:
e.printStackTrace()
instead of this:
System.out.print(e);
so it will tell you what line it crashed on.
2: In the code below,here is how you mix coding html tags and java scriptlets
(you should never have to use out.print()):. In a later project, you can learn how to use JSTL
instead of java scriplets (I suggest using java scriptlets for now until you have more JSP experience).
FROM:
<html>
<%
//some java code goes here
out.print("<th>");
//some more java code goes here
out.print("<tr>");
%>
TO:
<html>
<% //some java code goes here%>
<th>
<%//some more java code goes here%>
<tr>
3: Put a lot of System.println() statements in your *.java classes to verify what its doing (you can learn how to use a debugger later).
4: I highly recommend reading a book on JSP/servlets cover to cover.
Here's a simple MVC design approach I previously posted:

Restore a database in recovery mode sql server 2005

Please i need some help. My database has been marked in recovery in sql 2005 management studio and i can't connect to it how do i bring it back to normal

if your database is marked in recovery this means that SQL Server is recoverying the database typically after a sql server restart.
If the database is marked restoring, do this restore database databasename with recovery
Otherwise, you need to check the status of the recovery - Check this query: SELECT state_desc FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'ProblemDatabaseName'; If this returns recovery_pending you have to wait. Check the SQL Server log for messages about the
state of the recovery.

SearchCatalogAvailabilityMonitor showing unhealthy for all database on DAG member mailbox server

Hi All
Help me to resolve server (all database) search catalogue availability monitor.
I am facing a search catalogue "Unknown" issue for newly created copy database and also on same mailbox server
"SearchCatalogAvailabilityMonitor" showing unhealthy for all database.
For the newly created copy database I tried to reseed / update search index catalogue by using below PowerShell command but it stopped with below mentioned error.

The mailbox database copy 'DBTest\MBX1' has failed to update from server . Do you want to clean up that update
request now? Seeding cannot be requested for the same database copy until the failed request has been cleaned up by the
server, which should automatically happen within 15 minutes.
