Question SQL Server in AIX Environment

Installing SQL Server 2008 on AIX platform thereby trying to migrate the DB from DB2 on aix to SQL server.
The application programming is done on ZOS in COBOL programming language, hence I am looking for some information in this case whether any drivers are available to access the data directly in the application program or do we need to utilize any third party
software for this integration.

You cant install SQL Server on any unix platform. It work only on windows.

SQL Server on SAN Environment

Hello Guys, I have a question: Used to run my SQL server DB on local HDs, and we are ready to cluster it on a SAN. DB files will be on the SAN, but how about my local drives? should I keep then? can I just rebuilt the servers and create a RAID 1 for the OS to load, or a RAID 10? what is the standard knowing that the local drives can be used for other purposes, like relocation to other servers (and save money)

Monitoring/ tuning tool for sql server and os environment

What is a good tool for monitoring/tuning OS and SQL layers.

OS and SQL are different things, and I am not sure what you mean under layers.
To further expand my question, what OS build, what SQL Server edition?
All these have enormous impact on strategy.
Then the question is for what? OLTP need one tuning, DW another.
Monitoring is also a question of budget, how much allowed to spend?
Secondly, this forum is not dedicated to these kinds of questions.

Does a sql server client application needs to be modified to allow it to have benefits of running on a SQL Server 2012 cluster?

I have a client application in c++ which interacts with sql server database. My question is whether I need to make any changes to the client application code to allow it to have the benefits of running on a SQL server 2012 cluster environment.
To elaborate more on my query my concern is for e.g if my application has called an api to execute a sql query and during
the execution of this query the sql server (part of the cluster) goes down then as per my understanding the sql cluster would ensure that another node takes up the task from the current sql server which has gone down. Is this transition transparent to the
client application or in such a case my client application needs to again make a new connection and again execute the query?

Hello,
Just as Shanky post above, When you connected to a database in an availability group and specify the availability group listener in the connection string, if the availability group fails over, the original connection is broken, your application
should try a new connection after the failover.
So, when connect to an availability group, please try to increasing connection timeout and implementing connection retry logic to increase the probability of successful connection.

Disaster Recovery-MS SQL Server 2008 License

We are planning to build a Disaster Recovery environment for Production Environment. Technology used: SharePoint Foundation2010, MSBI and MS Sql Server 2008 Standard.
Current Production Server has SQL Server2008 standard (Core license) installed in it.
Do we need separate MS SQL Server 2008 licence for Disaster Recovery (DR) Server in order to keep the DR and Production database running in both the environments simultaneously.
We don't want to keep database down in DR environment as this impacts our code deployment process.
Each time code gets deployed to Production, we will have to follow few extra steps to keep DR and Production in sync.
Example:
1. Bring up the MS SQL Server database in DR environment
2. Deploy the solution and bring down the DR database.
Please suggest...

Issue importing flat files into SQL server 2008R2

I have csv files that the last column may not have data. SSIS (version 2008R2) will insert the next row's data into the empty cells, which causes my package to fail.
I know this is resolved in 2012 but we are using 2008R2 still. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi sqlBI2014,
After testing the issue that Flat File Connection Manager cannot handle file with uneven number of columns in each row in my SQL Server 2008 R2 environment, I can reproduce it.
Based on my research, the issue is caused by the Column Delimiter gets first preference and then Row delimiter. So the next row data would be inserted in the empty column cell. This is by design in SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2.
Good news is that the issue is fixed in SQL Server Data Tools which comes with SQL Server 2012. In SQL Server 2012, by default, the Flat File Connection Manager always checks for a row delimiter in unquoted data, and starts a new row when a row delimiter
is found. This enables the connection manager to correctly parse files with rows that are missing column fields.
If you still want to fix the issue in SQL Server 2008 R2, there is a sample component posted to the CodePlex that might help you with this:

Connecting BI 7.0 SR2 with MS SQL Server 2005

Dear SAP Gurus,
We have a scenario to connect an External Database MS SQL Server 2005 with BI 70 SR2 Server.
The platform details are as follows :-
BI 7.0 SR2
Oracle 10.0.2.8 Database
AIX 5.3
When we were on an older platform BW 3.5 we had installed an Windows Application Server for connecting to SQL Server.
I was told that in the latest system BI 7.0 it is possible to connect to SQL Server via AIX.
Now when i raised a message to SAP , they tell me that it is necesary to have an Windows Application Server.
If any one has connected an BI 7.0 on AIX to MS SQL Server 2005 , Please let me know.
Regards,
Ashish .A. Poojary

Hello Ashish,
U can connect BI 7 to SQL using UD Connect even they are running on different operating system.

Hierarchy monitoring detected that the ConfigMgr SQL Server ports 1433,4022, are not active on Firewall exception

SMS_HIERARCHY_MANAGER reports (Message ID=3353):
"Hierarchy Monitoring detected that the ConfigMgr SQL Server <fqdn> ports 1433,4022, are not active on Firewall
exception."
This is a fresh SCCM 2012 environment with no firewall active. SQL is installed on the same server as SCCM 2012. Is there a way to fix this without enabling the firewall?

Check this out
Issue:
ConfigMgr logs the error even though Windows Firewall is disabled or it is enabled and all exceptions are added to SQL Server(s).
Environment: I had an environment consist of a two node SQL Cluster hosting ConfigMgr database and a separate ConfigMgr primary site server
Resolution:
Windows firewall service must be started on both SQL nodes and ConfigMgr itself . As soon as the service is started exceptions for TCP 1433 and 4022 must be added to SQL nodes firewall.
After that the firewall profiles can be disabled using:
netsh advf set allp state off
This is true but if you disable the firewall even thought you have opened the Firewall port then disabled the firewall. The status message will continue to be generated and your site server will still be in an error state.
Notice that I said "disabled" and not "turn off".

Install AD / SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 on a single server as Development Environment

Hi All,
I'm planning to prepare a SharePoint 2013 development environment. The current idea is to install Domain controller, SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 all on a single server. Even though this is for development purposes,
would there be any limitations specially when it comes to SP 2013 functionalities according to your experience?
Some articles i referred.

SQL server service accounts question

We created a test SQL environment using a Technet evaluation copy of Windows Server 2012 along with an evaluation copy of SQL2012. After testing, everything is working as planned so were going to enter the product keys for both Windows Server and SQL 2012.
My question is that once we have our Server licensed we’re going to start a new domain and recreate all the user accounts but I installed SQL using a local user account I created called ”sqladmin”. Once Server 2012 is the DC in the new domain will I need to
change all the service accounts for SQL in order for it to function or can I still use the local “sqladmin” user account? If I can re-use that local account are there any downside to that? What’s the best practice in this scenario

Hi,
You can use your sqladmin account but that wont be a good security practice. You should always follow principal of least privilege and should run SQL server with domain account having least privilege.Below link will help you in this

SQL Server 2012 Failover Cluster configuration questions

Hi,
I have few questions on , SQL Server 2012 Failover cluserting pleasse provide suggestions:
1) In SQL Server 2012 is there a configuration for active / passive Failover Cluster installation? If so how is it done? if you could provide any links or articles that would help.
OR
Is this been replaced by Always ON Availability Groups?
2) Also in our environment we have done active/active installation but at a time my understanding is only node has the ownership to the shared storage versus both the nodes, is that correct? If not please provide an explanation?
Any additional information would be valuable in clearing my doubts?
Thank youy
Malini=

Hi malinisethi,
If you install SQL Server in a cluster and configure Active-Passive cluster. In the first node, select “New SQL Server Failover Cluster installation” option , when we are installing Active-Passive cluster, we have to specify one virtual/network name. (Note:
For Active-Active clustering you have specify different network names as per the number of nodes). on the other nodes is similar to installing on the first node except that we have select the Add Node to a SQL Server failover cluster option from the initial
menu. For more information, there is a similar issue about SQL Server 2008 Active-Passive/Active-Active cluster installation, you can review the following article.
http://sqldbpool.com/2009/10/07/sql-server-2008-active-passive-cluster-installation/
About Active/Active SQL Cluster, two clustered SQL Server instance are created in different nodes. Then apply Active /Active configuration of both instance. There is an example about creating an Active/Active SQL Cluster using Hyper-V. you can review the
following article.

Question about updating SQL Server on failover cluster

Hi all,
I would like to better understand the update process of SQL Server (2008 r2) in a failover cluster environment.
In our cluster we have 4 instances of SQL running, where two of them I am able to at anytime stop the instance and update it.
The question is... Applying the latest update, will update forcibly all instances installed on that node, or do I have the ability to choose which instance I want to update?
This way, I could "test" the update process in those two SQL Instances, as described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958734 and after finishing I would update the remaining instances.
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Project Server 2010 failover environment with Database SQL Mirroring

Hello,
We have prod and failover environment. Failover environment created by using farm backup and restore of prod.
my question is : Can we do SQL Mirroring (from prod to failover) of 5 databases (4 PS databases and content db) to keep both the environment in sync. Will this process work in the case of Project
Server 2010. i am in doubt due to timestamp and GUID in config DB.
Also will this process is supportable.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello MOhit2020,
I haven't done this type of failover, but I think you would need to setup all your SharePoint and project databases to use a SQL Alias to point to your production databases. When and if your production databases failed, you would update
your SQL Alias to point to the mirror location.
The other nice feature about having SQL Alias setup in SharePoint, is that in the future, if you switch to another SQL Server, the SQL alias makes it easier to handle.
Cheers!

ODBC Drivers for SQL Server 2005 on AIX for OWB connect

Hi All -
I have a problem whereby I am trying to connect OWB with SQL Server 2005. The problem statement follows: -
Infrastructure: -
OWB Server installed on AIX
Oracle Installed on AIX
SQL Server 2005 source on Windows
OWB Client on windows XP
My problem is: -
I am trying to connect OWB with SQL Server 2005 for which I have to create heterogenous source entry in Oracle home. But AIX box does not have any ODBC drivers installed and hence I can not configure a DSN on the same. Can any one suggest where can I get these drivers and their installation steps.
Thanks in advance!
