Moving Custom Database to Native Sharepoint Database Node

Hi,
What are Microsoft recommendations on moving custom database from one SQL node to native node containing sharepoint content database.
Are there any limitations or disadvantages of moving the custom database to content database server.
Regards, Ketan Gandhi

Hi Ketan,
I suggest you provide more information about your requirement for further research.
If you want to use the custom database data in SharePoint, we can use Business Connectivity Services (BCS) in SharePoint 2010 to achieve it.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee819133.aspx
If you only want to move the custom database to the database server of the SharePoint in order to use in other ASP.net web application, we can use "Attach..." or "Restore Database...". And then check
the performance of the server.

Moving Custom Database to Native Sharepoint Database Server

The general advice is not to. SharePoint doesn't play nicely with other applications (at least at the SQL level) and you're complicating the performance analysis aspects a lot.
It also often involves harming the SharePoint security model by granting other service accounts and support staff permissions on the SharePoint databases. You've then got potential performance problems when either of the two applications is heavily loaded.
Your SharePoint SQL instance may be using a custom Collation, which probably won't hurt anything but you can get odd behaviour if you end up with multiple DBs from different collations.
You must keep the Max Degree of Parallelism at 1 for SharePoint, even if this hurts your custom App.

Custom database functoid to return multiple rows from database

Hi,
I have created a custom database fucntoid to execute a stored procedure which returns just single row from the database.But I could not manage to return multiple rows from the database.
Does anyone know how to return multiple rows from DB and create a node with that many occurrences in the target schema?
Thanks

If you want to do this in messaging-only way without orchestration, then only option let to you is using .NET in BizTalk:
We had similar requirement with one of our clients, where they didn’t want to use orchestration (though we emphasised on less impact orch would have compared to manageability),
they still wanted to have pure-messaging only.
We extended the custom XslTransform component that ships with BizTalk SDK (<BizTalk installation directory>\SDK\Samples\Pipelines\XslTransformComponent)).
Created a custom disassembler pipeline component, used the XslTransform component from SDK to execute the map’s XSLT. Here we created a map with every links except the database ones. After executing the map, access the database, execute the store procedure
which returns more than one row/dataset, enrich the XSLT transformed message with the dataset from your database in disassembler.
Since .NET gives you the flexibility of access the dataset with more than one row, you can enrich the message in custom pipeline code.
Other option is code the message transformation completely in .NET code in custom disassembler by passing the received message to method/code which would code the map/enrichment.
While enriching you can execute the store procedure which returns more than one row/dataset, enrich the message further with the dataset from db.

Error Expanding Database Node : ORA-00942 table or view does not exist

I just installed the ODT for Visual Studio.NET. It installed fine and I can connect to my databases. However, I am having trouble expanding adatabase node to see all of its object nodes (tables, views, ...). I get the ORA-00942 error when connecting with a user id and password used by an application. If I use my personall user id an password, I can expand the database node. What table or view is it looking for that it cannot find? Is this something that our DBA has prevented? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Only guessing, but I wouldn't expect an application id to have anything like the same rights as a normal id. I wouldn't expect it to have any rights to tables, just to stored procedures and/or views, but this would be up to the standards in your organisation. This will be something the DBA has done, probably granting the absolute minimum of rights to the application id. It might be looking for one of the system views, so if there's an option to ignore system objects try setting it.

Moving Publisher database to 2008R2 but subscriber 2005 will remain same. How to reconfigure this?

We are planning to upgrade(not in place, moving to a new machine) the publisher(2005 EE) to 2008R2 EE but the subscriber(2005 EE) will be the same.
Replication Type: Transactional replication
Number of replicated databases: 1
Existing
SQL Server 2005 SP4 (Publisher & Distributer) with 8 publications
SQL Server 2005 SP4 (Subscriber)
New
SQL Server 2005 SP4 (Publisher & Distributer) this will be upgrading to SQL Server 2008R2 SP2
SQL Server 2005 SP4 (Subscriber) this will be same.
After moving the database to new SQL Server 2008R2, how to re-configure the replication with the existing 2005 subscriber?
There are hundreds of articles (objects) involving in the replication so it is not easy to reconfigure in GUI mode. So looking for plan to script the existing replication and plan to run those scripts on new server to re-configure is this possible?

The best option is to script and recreate. There is no real way to backup a replicated database and restore it on a new server and expect the publication to be intact on the new distributor and for it to pick up where it left off and continue.
You can use the sync with backup option and log ship to the new server restore the final log ship with the keep replication switch and then rename the old server with the old publisher name. I have not tried this as part of an upgrade.
Another option is to script the publication, drop the subscriptions, run the script on the new publisher and then do no-sync subscriptions.
Using a script is the best way to do it, trying to do this via the gui is madness.

10g on XP: hangs when creating custom database

Hi
When installing 10g on Windows XP SP2, I'm successful if I choose the software only. If I try to create the custom database with the Oracle database assistent, the oui stops after 2% with:
- ORA-00604: error occured at recursive SQL level 1
- ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION
I've already installed a 10g client, with which I can connect to another Oracle server without problem.
Any idea, why this happens?

Review the thread given below it talks about changing couple of oracle registry values as a fix...

Linking to individual custom database portlets

When we create menu items in Portal normally we can link to an individual form or report component created in oracle portal and exposed via url for show or other routine. We need to setup menu items each to link to our custom database portlets. Is there any API or any other way of invoking this programatically?
For e.g. if I have a portlet helloworld_portlet can I invoke helloworld_portlet.show directly? Any examples would help.
Also there are undocumented API's to link to tabs or to pages or via query of sbr views. Are there any documented API's to link to tabs or subtabs?

Hi,
I dont think what you want is possible, the whole idea of a portlet is that its part (building block) of a page and not being a webpage by itself.
There are perhaps some workarounds
- try displaying the portlet in detail modus
- perhaps create a hybrid portlet, that is a servlet & portlet at the same time
In one of my portlets im also linking to a portlet on another page. I keep the durable link of the page where the second portlet resides as a setting in my database

Moving CMS database from one server to another

Using the following:
Crystal Enterprise 10, installed on W2K3 Server R2 (not making any changes to this server);
CMS database, installed on W2K Server, SQL Server 2000, SP3
New database server: W2K3 Server R2, SQL Server 2005, SP2
I found what I think are the steps to moving the database from one place to another in the CE10 Administrator's guide (pages 291-300, but I want to make sure there aren't any "gotchas" when moving the database location and/or upgrading the database version. I'm primarily a DBA, so I already know about the Schema security change going from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
In a nutshell, here's my plan:
1. Take fresh backup of the existing CMS database
2. Stop Crystal Management Server
3. Click "Specify CMS Data Source" on the toolbar.
4. ETC--following the steps in the admin guide
If anyone has done this and has run into any problems (what I'm expecting) or had it go smoothly (I would be surprised), please let me know what to expect.
Thanks!

All you really need to do is stop the crystal services.
Backup the CMS and Auditing database
Detach the CMS and Auditing database
Copy CMS and Auditing databases to new DB server
Attach the CMS and Auditing databases
Set the compatibility mode
On the servers/s that host the CMS service, modify the ODBC connections to point to the new database server
Start the CMS service, fire up the Crystal services.
One thing to note, I don't think SQL 2005 is a supported platform for CE10 - this doesn't mean it won't work and since the support lifecycle for the product is long gone it doesn't really make much difference however you may want to run some thorough testing prior to the move.

Repo-add [custom] database need to REMOVE old packages ? script to do?

I believe it is still needed to create the custom database to use local packages and not have to do pacman -U [full-file-name]
Doing this with repo-add (as mentioned in wiki 'pacman tips' will have old packages added sometimes if there are duplicates.
How to remove older duplicates reliably?
Or is there a way to sync without creating custom database with repo-add. The wiki speaks of: Installing packages from a CD/DVD/iso
without mentioning any requirement of needing a database. I didn't understand how that would be possible just because the files are on DVD etc. I would expect the same 'old files in database' likelihood to exist also and as well cannot see how pacman would sync without a database.
Basically I have tons of duplicate files in my huge copy of files locally. Not really sensible to try to keep it with only current versions so I thought there would be a guru's script to do this.

Two things I attempted to touch on tomk.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Tips
Installing packages from a CD/DVD/iso
I thought there appeared to be no mention of need for a custom database infering that the dvd/CD/iso would sync with pacman -Syu however the files were on there I guess it would be.
Custom local repository
Where this wiki page says in this Custom local repository 'repo-add' paragraph, that there's no way to assure that the latest packages will be added.
The last argument will add all pkg.tar.gz files to the repository, so be careful. If having multiple versions of a package in the directory, it is unclear which one will take precedence and end up in the repository.
As I had a not so understood experience I wondered if there were old packages in there as I got a message saying that local was newer than database or something when I tried to pacman -Syu with this local database I'd created. Something like that anyways, definitely not working right though not assuming I'm accurate in describing or guessing or methodology.
I could be half asleep so apologies for not been my detail-freak self here.
P.S. I started out with TONS of older version when I tried to create a good database.

Move CM Node to Database node from Application Tier

Hi,
I have setup like this...my set up is 2 node...one node is Database node and another is Application Node.
Now I want to move Concurrent Manager Node from Application Node to Database Node..
I Can do this using RAPIDCLONE.....
What My Doubt is to move the CM Node...
Do I have to copy APPL_TOP , COMMON_TOP and ORA_TOPs or only APPL_TOP to database node
Plase help it out

Hi,
I want to Move CM to Database node using Shared Applicaiton File System Feature...It is very cool.....
I did not understand one point there...These lines are from this document
Sharing the Application Tier File System in Oracle Applications 11i Doc ID: Note:233428.1
Section 3: Sharing an existing Applications file system
In the 3rd point....
Make the Applications files accessible
Mount the shared disk to all application tier nodes
Suppose, I have Total Application Tier File System in the Application Node is in /u01 partition...Do I have to NFS Share this partition and Mount it in Database Node...is it correct??? like this I have to do it na....
(1) NFS share the /u01 partition File system in the Application Node
(3) mount the /u01 file system in the Database Node
$mount /u01 /u01
Is it correct ?????
If I have to apply any patch...Only we need to apply it on Primary node..once we apply it..it is automatically appearing the node 2....because it is shared file system....Only use is....For CM Running purposes..Database Node Resources(CPU and RAM) will be used......right.....
We no need to touch the Shared File System in the Database Node 2 in this scenario....right....
Please confirm it...

Set custom database userid for report schedules

Hi,
I am writing a c# program to reschedule reports deployed to CRS 2008. I am able to reschedule reports, but not able to use custom database username/password. All my schedules still use the original database settings from the report even after setting the property "UseOriginalDataSource" to false. Below is the code snippet I am using. Am I missing something here?
               ReportLogons rptLogons = report.ReportLogons;
                    for (int j = 1; j <= report.ReportLogons.Count; j++)
                        ReportLogon rptLogon = rptLogons[j];
                        rptLogon.UseOriginalDataSource = false;
                        rptLogon.CustomUserName = "sykampillila";
                        rptLogon.CustomPassword = "facets";
                        rptLogon.CustomDatabaseName = infoObj.ProcessingInfo.Properties["SI_LOGON_INFO"].Properties["SI_LOGON1"].Properties["SI_DB"].ToString().Trim();
Thanks
