MS SQL Server 2008 server is experiencing blocking
All,
The DBA & I are at a loss as to what could be causing an intermittent alert to be produced against the MS SQL Server 2008 server. The following email is what I've been provided:
SQL Services Alert: COMPANY.com - COMPSQL01 is experiencing blocking
spid BSPID DatabaseName Login LastBatch Runtime (Alert@:1) Command
394 0 ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD 102.16.4.126\ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD 2015-04-06 10:52 5 (@P1 int)SELECT * FROM HSP_ACTIVITY_LEASE WHERE ACTIVITY_ID = @P1
404 0 ORAEPM_HP_VISIO 102.16.4.126\ORAEPM_HP_VISION 2015-04-06 10:50 7 (@P1 int)SELECT * FROM HSP_ACTIVITY_LEASE WHERE ACTIVITY_ID = @P1
403 404 ORAEPM_HP_VISIO 102.16.4.126\ORAEPM_HP_VISION 2015-04-06 10:49 8 (@P1 int)UPDATE HSP_ACTIVE_SERVERS SET LAST_ACTIVE_TIME = GETDATE() WHERE SERVER_ID = @P1
395 394 ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD 102.16.4.126\ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD 2015-04-06 10:49 8 (@P1 int)UPDATE HSP_ACTIVE_SERVERS SET LAST_ACTIVE_TIME = GETDATE() WHERE SERVER_ID = @P1
From what I've been told, it appears that SPID 394 is the offending one but it appears to be clashing with SPID 404 and causing the blocking to occur. Both appear to be automatic processes executed by Planning to monitor\track the status of the various Planning applications in operation.
As background info, the following applies:
- All servers are MS Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 (64-bit);
- Hyperion Planning is v11.1.2.3.502;
- The RDBMS platform is a MS SQL Server 2008 (64-bit) instance;
- ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD is the RDBMS database accessed by a custom-developed Planning application while ORAEPM_HP_VISION is the RDBMS database for Oracle's Vision Planning application;
Has anyone ever encountered - and resolved - such an issue? If yes, how?
Many thanks in advance,
JBM
Can you pin point a particular TopLink query tied to the " FETCH_APICURSOR* " call in the app and post how it is being created?
My guess is that the application is specifying the TopLink query object to return a cursor or stream and not closing it in all cases, or keeping them open for a long period - did you say they were leaking, or is it just that a large number are open at a time leading to performance problems?
This streams+cursors are described in the TopLink docs here
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/b32441/qryadv.htm#CJGJBHGJ
or the 10g docs here:
http://sqltech.cl/doc/oas10gR3/web.1013/b13593/qryadv010.htm
If this is the case, you might want to use a different strategy such as pagination instead of cursors, described here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/web.1111/b32441/optimiz.htm#CHDIBGFE

What are share point server 2013 & Share point Designer 2013 & Office 365 & Yammer & Share point 2013 & Windows server 2008 server & Windows Server 2012 Server Data Center? How each them are related in collaboration system?
Is Share point server 2013 and Share pointer Designer 2013 available in 32bit version? If not, then how to use it in 32 bit machine by using any VMs?
Thanks
SenthilSharePoint Server 2013:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-sharepoint-collaboration-software-FX103479517.aspx
SharePoint Designer 2013:
Designer is used to develop SharePoint pages using HTML/CSS/JS as well as SharePoint Designer Workflows
Yammer:
https://about.yammer.com/
Windows Server is Windows, but the Server OS. SharePoint runs on top of supported Windows Servers editions (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx).
SharePoint Server is 64-bit only (trial:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh973397.aspx), although Designer does have a 32-bit edition (full product:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35491).
You will need the capability to run 64bit VMs. Minimum recommended all-in-one VM for SharePoint is to allocate 24GB of RAM, but you can get away with as little as 12GB (I wouldn't go below that). Because of this, it generally rules out 32bit OSes as a virtual
machine host.

Problems installing Crystal Reports 2008 Server on Windows Server 2008 serv

After installing disk 1
Crystal Reports 2008 Server attempts to open up in IE...... but opens up to a blank page
http://bmlfileserver:8080/CmcApp/
anyone have any idea why? why does it not prompt for the second CD?
Is this a compatibility with Windows Server 2008?I'm attempting to install CRS 2008 on Windows Server 2008 as well, and I'm running into a few issues. Did you ever get yours resolved? I started by trying to use IIS, but I'm uninstalling it completely now and will try Tomcat instead. Which route did you go?

I want to use WSUS on Windows Server 2012 R2 in an environment that has only Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2 servers in production. I currently have one WSUS server setup on 2008 R2 that will serve in one geographic location and the WSUS Server 2012 R2 that
I looking to setup will be at a separate geographic location.
Has anyone tried this? Are there any problems one can expect? Is this a bad idea?Has anyone tried this?
Thousands!!! :-)
Are there any problems one can expect? Is this a bad idea?
No. Why would you think it might be?
Have you read the product documentation and familiarized yourself with the system requirements and support capabilities of the product?

Missing Files in Windows Server 2008 server
There are a lot of missing files in a server that we manage.
There are no scheduled changes or activity prior to this incident.
Is there a way to determine how the files were deleted?
Are there any reported issue regarding sudden disappearance of files in Windows Server 2008?
What are the events to look / find at the logs?Hi,
You can check the event viewer to see if any related logs existing.
If you enabled Audit Objecr Access with both success and failure events in group policy(Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policies>Audit Policy>Audit Object Access - Success/Failure), add auditing to the
folders/drives and enable auditing for "Delete" and "Delete Subfolders and Files", then you can check that under security log in event viewer.

Windows Server 2008 Server Manager - The WinRM Client Cannot Process the Request.
Hello,
I have recently purchased a Dedicated Server, and I have installed Windows Server 2008 R2. I want to use Server Manager because I don't really have that much experience with command line commands, so I wanted to use server manager, I can remotely connect
to my server but when I use Server Manager I get the error "The WinRM Client Cannot Process the Request, if the authentication scheme is different from Kerberos..." I haven't set up a domain between my PC and the Dedi, as I do not know how/or know
if this is applicable in this situation.
Thanks for your time!

Installing NTBackup on Windows 7 / 2008 R2
If wanting the original NTBackup on Win7 / Win2k8 R2 then it can be done by creating a new folder on Windows 7 ex. C:\Program Files\NTBackup and copy the following files from Windows XP to the
folder (or extract them from the install file nt5backup.cab):
C:Windows\System32\Ntbackup.exe
C:Windows\System32\Ntmsapi.dll
C:Windows\System32\Vssapi.dll
C:Windows\Help\Ntbackup.chm
C:Windows\Help\Ntbackup.hlp
Note when starting NTBackup then it will complain about "Removable Storage" not running, and this warning can be safely be ignored:
The Backup Utility cannot connect to the Removable Storage service. This service is required for use of tape drives and
other backup devices. Please exit and start the Removable Storage service using the System Services function of the management console. -
Will Report Builder 2012 Work with SQL Server 2008???
Simple question really
Will Report Builder 2012 work in conjunction with SQL Server 2008???
Is it worth while upgrading?
The main reason i ask is the ability to export in an xlsx format
ThanksHi Gmach,
The version of Report Builder on SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS) 2012 is Report Builder 3.0. The Report Builder 3.0 manufactures 2010 RDL reports, so it only works with the version of SQL Server 2008 R2 or later. So in your scenario, we can no connect
to SQL Server 2008 Server using Report Builder that on SSRS 2012.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Charlie Liao

Utility data collection job Failure on SQL server 2008
Hi,
I am facing data collection job failure issue (Utility-data Collection) on SQL server 2008 server for, below is the error message as :
<service Name>. The step did not generate any output. Process Exit Code 5. The step failed.
Job name is collection_set_5_noncached_collect_and_upload, as I gothrough the google issue related to premission issue but where exactly the access issues are coimng, this job is running on proxy account. Thanks in advance.Hi Srinivas,
Based on your description, you encounter the error message after configuring data collection in SQL Server 2008. For further analysis, could you please help to collect detailed log information? You can check the job history to find the error log around the
issue, as is mentioned in this
article. Also please check Data Collector logs by right-clicking on Data Collection in the Management folder and selecting View Logs.
In addition, as your post, the exit code 5 is normally a ‘Access is denied ’ code. Thus please make sure that the proxy account has admin permissions on your system. And ensure that SQL Server service account has rights to access the cache folder.
Thanks,

Media player plug in will not install in server 2008
after installing firefox 3.6 in server 2008, not the server 2008 r2 but the original.
the firefox it self runs great BUT you can not listen to music in any web site using the media player plug in because the plug in refuses to install saying it can not run in server 2008.
server 2008 is a vista based system and uses many of the same drivers. so why is their no plug in that I can tell it how to install or what to install as and just have it do as it is told to do ?See:
