Replication fails to replicate Data from Publisher To Subscriber when run DBCC shrinkfile on datafile

Hi,
We had purged a lot of unwanted data from one of our replicated databases ,the data was purged from the non replicated articles
Planned to shrink the data file using (DBCC shrinkfile) to claim the space back .The dbcc was running more than 20 hrs .
we saw this morning that replication was lagging .
On looking at the replication monitor (Publisher To Distributor History ) says that (the Log reader Agent is scanning the transaction log for commands to be replicated .Apx 339000000 log records have been scanned ).
Checked the log file size of the DB its about 400GB .
Suspected that the log growth might be because of dbcc command and killed the dbcc and tried to shrink the log file which came to 200 gb ,but still the replication is not back to speed .
Can someone please explain the background process that happened in the above process which caused the above affect and any ideas on how to get the replication back to normal.
Thanks,
Jack

Its because the log file is huge in your published database which is causing the issue. The fact that you purged data from non-replicated tables is not known to log reader agent as it still has to scan through the whole log file to pick up the
records which are to be replicated. So it will take some time before it skims through the log file.
More over unless replication goes through the complete log file and marks each vlf as replicated, its not going to allow you to completely shrink the file.
Best option for you is to allow replication to catchup.

Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor .....

Hello,
I hope that is the right forum for this issue.
We have the application 'Lodestar' for some years.
The frond-end is ASP and the database is Oracle 9. Lodestar has its own backend language "Rules language". The crystal version is 10
Now we have a new version of Lodestar with ASP and ASP.NET, Oracle 11g and Crystal 11.
But when we run some reports with the new version we get the error "Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 1652 ] Failed to retrieve data from the database." When I google on this error then it seems that it has something todo with tablespace.
We have changed the tablespace volume from 32Gb to 100Gb, but we still get this error.
Has anybody an idea what the cause could be?

Thanks all for you're reaction.
Oke we have changed the temp space from 30 Gigs --> 200 Gigs, but still the problem occurs. To make the temp tablespace is not the good direction, this is what the dba'er told me.
I'm not a guru with SQL/Oracle, but what for me hard to understand is" why does it work with the old version and not with the new version anymore?
It is a very difficult view with unions (I'm not the developer of this view), and I think I'm gonna try to break-down this view in different small parts and try to find where it goes wrong. I don't see any other way to investigate this problem.
(I see now the reaction of upul indika.)

AQ or Streams to replicate data from a database table and put it on a queue

If was tasked with the above if I was using AQ I'd think about publishing to queue via insert trigger on a table that's the destination end of a replication.
Given that there's replication involved it sounds like if you want to replicate data from A to B and also push it to a queue you should be thinking Streams with a transform and not just AQ.
However, how do you get Streams to replicate from A to B and at the same time and in the same transaction transform a message and put it on a queue?
Also, if you are to build the message in XML and use an XML payload what do you use to construct the message? PL/SQL by hand? Are there API's in PL/SQL to build a DOM and then stringify the DOM you've built such that everything is entity encoded correctly and the payload can be published to a queue as an XML payload?

Oh yes sorry I lost track of which thread this was. I was thinking Streams but I forgot the original suggestion was to use triggers.
We have many use cases today where data arrives via inserts into some table and a process polls this table and processes the data. This approach does not scale very well. Currently these polling processes are polling the same database that is constantly inserting data as it arrives via multple processes.
I am trying to move away from this approach by introducing queuing. In addition to the above we also have an approach where as the data arrives it's placed on a queue and the process processes these messages asynchonously from the queue. Currently this queue based implementation does not use Oracle. I am trying to move to a solution where if the data must arrive via inserts into a database the processing of the data doesn't necessarily have to be by fetching those records out of the table thru polling. The general idea is that as the messages are inserted they are subsequently enqueued and processed off a queue. There is no desire to have a process which simply polls the database and enqueues what I find in the table. The goal is to remove constant polling of the database.

How to replicate data from MS SQL Server to Oracle

Hi,
Can someone please help me on how to replicate data from MS SQL Server to Oracle 8i database.

Dear,
I'm a student.
I do simple replication on Oracle 8.0.5 successfully. (one master site and one snapshot site). I only use the SQL*Plus and Schema Manager to do.
But when I do advance replication (multimaster replication) I meet many problem. So I don't get the result.
Do you show me the technology to do that ?
Thanks !

Failed to read data from report file Reason: The table could not be found.

Connection used Views, ODBC System DSN is setup properly.
Approach for import from business view manager and import wizard. both methods failed to import the Business View and underlying reports.
I figure I may have imported the Business View wrong? From Business View Manager I exported from my dev server then imported to prod server.
Apparently I learned exporting my business view also includes the Data Connections that the Business Views are dependent upon.
So which ever folder you specify it copies it there. Originally the all Data Connections Resides on the root folder. To return it to the original location. I deleted what I had exported. Exported this time to the root folder, then only deleted the business views, foundation, elements. Then exported again to the folder where I intended then only deleted the Data Connection.
Makes any sense? So I then had to re point the business views and all the dependent objects to the data connection that resides in the root folder.
I tested the connection, it works fine. I properly updated my crystal reports to the business view in production. Did a sample extract it works as expected.
However when i try to publish, either from Crystal or Publish wizard i get the same error?
As a work around i am thinking, after updating the business view in the crystal reports, shall i re map the fields?? or reexport the business views again?
Any help will be surely appreciated.

Failed to retrieve data from the database.DB Vendor Code 156

Hi,
We recently migrated our scheduled Crystal Reports from BO XI R2 platform to BO XI 3.1, and are having issues with select reports that pull from the same SQL database. The tables and fields exist in the database - and I ran the SQL in a different tool and the syntax is correct. When I try to run an on-demand or schedule one of these reports in 3.1 Infoview I receive the following error:
Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 156 ]
Running:
CR 2008 SP2
BO XI 3.1 SP2 (FP 2.7)
Please advise! Thanks!

Hi LuAnn,
Not really clear what he said but I believe this is correct. The BOE servers are typically running under the local System Account. So when it passed the report job from the BOE Server it is the Local System account that the database is getting. We only do single hop for security. Which means if you are logged into InfoView under your local domain account and try to run a report BOE will not, unless specified in the custom database connection options in the CMC, pass your credentials to the DB but will pass the local system account credentials which is likely why these reports are failing.
As A TEST only Ask your Administrator to set up a user account in MS SQL Server that has rights to run all reports. Or when you create the report check on the option to use Trusted Authentication. Then when the reports are published to BOE your log on credentials should get passed to the DB server through BOE.
You'll have to more testing to find a Use account that you can run BOE Servers under and still maintain DB security and report level security that works for you. I also suggest you post your security questions to the BOE Administrator forum to get help configuring all of this and what others are doing.
Thank you
Don

Dynamic parameter - Failed to retrieve data from the database

I'm running a report with dynamic parameters and this report ran successfully for 2 days . For no apparent reason they stopped and the error message was received. There was no interference from head office soI'm at a loss to explain why the viewer / reports suddenly stopped working.
Now I get the following message:
Prompting failed with the following error message:
'List of values failure: fail to get values. Cause of error: Failed to retrieve data from the database. Error in file UNKNOWN.RPT: Failed to retrieve data from the database.'
Error source: prompt.dll Error code: 0x8004380D
The report is running on a Oracle database using CR-Viewer XI Product version 12.01.1.r228_v20071114
I know there is a problem with dynamic parameters and citrix, but this is not run on citrix.
Please help anypne

Is this report based or Enterprise based LOV?
If you have report published to BOEnterprise, then it automatically creates a chain of objects for any dynamic parameter:
Data Connection,
Data Foundation,
Business View,
Business Element
and LOV.
Each of this objects have configurations like users rights, permissions and some have logon configuration. Failing any of those elements may cause LOV to fail.
One of the tests you may try is to test relevant Business View by connecting Crystal reports to it.
Are you familiar with Business View Manager?

Data load failed while loading data from one DSO to another DSO..

Hi,
On SID generation data load failed while loading data from Source DSO to Target DSO.
Following are the error which is occuuring--
Value "External Ref # 2421-0625511EXP " (HEX 450078007400650072006E0061006C0020005200650066
Error when assigning SID: Action VAL_SID_CONVERT, InfoObject 0BBP
So, i'm not getting WHY in one DSO i.e Source it got successful but in another DSO i.e. Target its got failed??
While analyzing all i check that SIDs Generation upon Activation is ckecked in source DSO but not in Target DSO..so it is reason its got failed??
Please explain..
Thanks,
Sneha

Hi,
I hope your data flow has been designed in such a way where the 1st DSO as a staging Device and all transformation rules and routine are maintained in between 1st to 2nd dso and sid generation upon activation maintained in 2nd DSO. By doing so you will be getting your data 1st DSO same as your source system data since you are not doing any transformation rules and routine etc.. which helps to avoid data load failure.
Please analyze the following
Have you loaded masterdata before transaction data ... if no please do it first
go to the property of first dso and check whether there maintained sid generation up on activation (it may not be maintained I guess)
Goto the property of 2nd Dso and check whether there maintained sid generation up on activation (It may be maintained I hope)
this may be the reason.
Also check whether there is any special char involvement in your transaction data (even lower case letter)

Crystal Reports - Failed to retrieve data from the database

Hi There,
I'm hoping that somebody can help me.
I've developed a crystal report from a stored procedure which I wrote. I can execute the stored procedure within SQL Server and within the Crystal Reports designer without any errors. Furthermore, I have imported the report into sap and can run it within SAP from the server without any errors. SAP version 8.81 PL5
The issue is that when it's run from a client machine, I get the following error: "Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: Database Vendor Code: 156. Error in the File RCR10010 {tempfile location}
Here's a list of things which I have tried, all to no avail:
- Checked user permissions to ensure that they have proper authorizations
- Re-set the datasource connection and re-imported the report to SAP.
- Exported the report and reviewed the datasource connection and re-imported to SAP.
- Tried to run the report on multiple machines to ensure that it's not machine specific
- Tried to run the report using different users to ensure it's not user specific.
- Tested other reports built from stored procedures on client machines to ensure that they work.
Any assistance in this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you

After further testing, we found that the report could be run within SAP on any work station which had the CR designer installed on it.
As it turns out, the procedure which I wrote has temp tables in it. The runtimes built into the SAP client install do not support creating temp tables when executing the report from within SAP. Which is why the report could not retreive data.
To work around this, I installed external runtimes which were the same version of the Crystal Report and now the report can be run within SAP from any workstation which has the external runtimes (and not just the runtimes within the SAP client).
I hope this makes sense.

Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP B1

Hello friends,
I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report, it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
Thanks in Advance,
Keyur Raval.

I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.

Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided when employing link between two web services datasources

Post Author: vpost
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I am trying to join information from two related web services within CR XI. I have successfully set up the web services as data sources have been able to get to the point where I get good data back. However, when I try to pull in certain fields, I get an error that says "Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided". Here's the scenario:
The web services are structured as follows:Web Service 1 (Artist) has attributes of Artist Name and Date of Birth.Web Service 2 (CD) has attributes of CD Title and Release Date. Underneath each CD are songs, each of which have a Song Title and Artist Name.
I have defined both web services and defined a link between Artist.Artist Name and CD/Song.Artist Name. I am able to run a report with Song Title and Date of Birth that crosses web services. I am able to run another report with Song Title and CD Title that crosses the different levels in the second web service. However, if I add CD Title to the first report or Date of Birth to the second (both of which effectively force CR to employ the link between the two web services AND the CD/Song hierarchical structure in the second web service, I get the aforementioned error.
Any assistance understanding how multiple web services can be linked in this manner would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Not sure about your exact situation, but having similar problem with another application and have tracked down to security. Added user to group Domain Admin and it works fine. It appears to be accessing a subdirectory which it does not have permission to use and then times out and returns the "invalid....". Seems that once the query just over a certain size (and I'm not sure what triggers this) it needs to make use of temparory file disk, intead of ram.
I'm still trying to track down which temporary it's trying to uses - so if you have any ques.

Hi,
Are all your data in the View or each time you run a query it update the View? Please try to update your View then run the Report again, much better if you delete the original View and replace with a new one,

Failed to retrieve data from the database Error

I had some reports setup in Crystal XI based on a Sql server but recently we had an upgrade, the database has been moved to IBM Informix.
There is a certain table that seems to be causing the problem.
The error:
"Failed to retrieve data from the database
Details: 42000:[informix][informix ODBC Driver][informix]A syntax error has occured .[Database Vendor Code:-201]".
I run the same query in MS Access and it seems to run fine.
I even tried to do a simple dump of the table onto Crystal but no luck.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
It seems your ODBC Driver is not compatible, try to download a driver which supports Informix through CR XI. I think you may have to download Data Direct Drivers 5.1 version to access Informix data tables through CR XI.
You can google it for Data Direct Drivers 5.1
Thanks,
