Scheduled Database Maintenance

I have a question that I'd like to post. Any assistance appreciated.
On each 2013 Database there is the scheduled maintenance and the 24x7. Does the scheduled maintenance run along with the 24x7 or is it a option of one or the other?

Scheduled Maintenance is deprecated in 2013. Its all workload based.
The background maint is really database checksumming.
This is for 2010, but applies for the most part:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2011/12/14/database-maintenance-in-exchange-2010.aspx
Bottom Line: I would leave the defaults as is. That makes Exchange happy.

Database maintenance for sqlserver database to improve performance

In our company sqlserver 2008 R2 is working as a project server database.
I want to know commands for database maintenance.
Please let me know all command in order which i need to run in sqlserver for database maintenance.
because i want to increase performance of projectserver 2010.

Hi John.Eddie,
For increasing SQL Server performance, you can do full daily backup, transaction log backups, check database integrity, rebuild index and update statistics in database maintenance plan.
However, you need to note that running "Shrink Database", it causes disk and as well as index fragmentation and leads to performance issues.
To ensure your database stays healthy and available, there are a few "'must do" tasks. For example:
1.Remove excessive transaction log file fragmentation.
2.Set auto-growth correctly.
3.Turn off any scheduled shrink operations.
4.Turn on AUTO_CREATE_STATISTICS and AUTO_UPDATE_STATISTICS, plus have a regular process in place to update statistics.
5.Have a regular process to run DBCC CHECKDB, take full database backups, plus differential and log backups for point-in-time recovery.
For more information about database maintenance, you can review the following article.

SharePoint 2010 Database maintenance for beginners / developers

Hey,
here is a thing which I concern myself with from time to time.
As a fulltime developer for SharePoint, I'm not quite familiar with maintaining it's databases. So after I set up my dev environment I usually don't care about maintaining the system. The logical consequence is that the system begins to slow down after a
while.
I don't have the time (and - to be honest - not the muse) to deep dive into the recommended maintaing plans by microsoft but I want to keep the performance of my system on an acceptable level. So I read the best practices provided by microsoft about index
defragmentation, reorganizing, shrinking and so on but for me it's quite difficult to fully dive into these things without spending to much of my business time.
So I wander if there are any execution-ready T-SQL scripts or something like that, which I can run from time to time to prevent my databases from to high fragmentation. I found some scripts for a stored procedure which reorganizes a particular index. But
what I am thinking about is a script which iterates through all databases, all tables and all indexes and reorganizes them.
I'm not looking for the perfect mainenance plan to achieve the best possible performance - I just want to prevent my dev environment from slowing down to much.
Are there any scripts like that out there? or do you have other tips for me?
Thank you!

Hi,
The steps to configure the maintenance plan is very easy and wont take more than 10 minutes. It is one time activity. It is nothing but drag and drag drop the required tasks from the Tool bar. You can schedule the maintenance plan to run on specific
time or can run directly on demand basis.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13956.sharepoint-2010-how-to-create-a-sql-server-2008-r2-maintence-plan-for-sharepoint.aspx
If you are looking only for SQL scripts then you may need to post in SQL forum, because maintenance plans will be almost similar for SharePoint Databases/or any SQL DBs.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful, if this solves/helps your problem. ******************************************************************************************

User receives meeting confirmation during Database Maintenance Window

Hello
I am facing an unusual behaviour which drives me crazy.
A user (it’s unfortunately an important one) receives every night at 02:07 meeting confirmations in his “deleted items” folder.
During this time the Exchange Database Maintenance is scheduled. But I have no idea why this should generate such mails.
I think somehow this maintenance Task sends out a meeting request which is automatically approved by the recipient and the confirmation is sent back to my users deleted item folder.
Someone got an idea what is causing this?

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify the following things for troubleshooting:
1. Is this meeting a recurring meeting?
2. I recommend you use message tracking to check who sent these specific emails.
Here is an article about message tracking for your reference.

On demand database maintenance order

Dear Experts,We have a prod database (databaseA)at 45GB and it contains tables for attachments(documents, images etc) from 7 companies/affiliates. The compressed full backup size is at 35.5 GB. We also maintain diff and trn backups that run on sched. We have fewer restore points due to storage constraint.A new database (databaseB) has been created in another server to house the other 6 companies' data, hence we can now delete other companies' data/records from this databaseA which leave it with only one company data. I think it is an occasion in which running DBCC shrinkdatabase would be legal so that the OS could reclaim the space.Sorry for that long overview, but my question is about the proper order of database maintenance. Is the following correct? Or will it create performance issues? Are each step necessary? Kindly enlighten me....
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

You can create a service order through sales order creation using action item of quality notification.
Define the function module into action box's item in configuration
SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Notifications > Notification Processing > Additional Notification Functions > Define Action Box > Define Functions for the Action Box
SAP sample function module is 'QM06_FM_TASK_RMA_ORDER_CREATE' for creation of repair order.
When you select the action item at quality notification, the pop-up screen to create a sales order will be shown.
Also you can assign a service item(=service material) to create a service order at the same time.
If you want to create a maintenance order(not service order), you have to use the maintenance notification.
Because only maintenance notification can have the technical object like equipment, functional location.

Noticing a lot of database index fragmentation yet no Health Analyzer alerts...? Best practice for database maintenance in 2013?

Could someone point me to a document for best practices for database maintenance with SharePoint 2013? I have read the 2010 document, but I'm hoping their is an updated one that I'm just missing.
My problem is that our DBA recently noticed that many of our SharePoint databases have high index fragmentation. I have the Health Analyzer rules enabled for index fragmentation and they run daily, but I've never received an alert despite the majority
of our databases having greater than 40% fragmentation and some are even above 95%.
Obviously it has our attention now and we want to get this addressed. My understanding (which I now fear is at best incomplete, more likely just plain wrong) was that a maintenance plan wasn't needed for index fragmentation in 2010/2013 like it was
in 2007.
Thanks,
Troy

It depends. Here are the rules for that job:
Sampled mode
Page count >24 and avg fragmentation in percent >5
Or
Page count >8 avg page space used in percent < fill_factor * 0.9 (Fill Factor in SharePoint 2013 varies from 80 to 100 depending on the index, it is important not to adjust index fill factors)
I have seen cases where the indexes are not automatically managed by the rule and require a manual defragmentation with a Full Scan, instead of Sampled. Once the Full Scan defrag completed, the timer job started handling the index fragmentation automatically.

SQL 2000 Database Maintenance Plan drop downs for days, weeks, months, not displaying

When setting up a SQL 2000 Database Maintenance Plan the drop down for Remove files older than is not populating with hours, days, weeks, or months. It is just blank. The version is Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86)
May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Desktop Engine on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2). Is there a fix for this issue?

This also works. All the credit goes to a user named eyechart. Great directions provided as well.

sqlmaint.exe
was missing from MSDE 2000, but that was fixed in SP1 I think. Since this is SP3
you probably have a missing registry value for the backup directory.
I
had to fix a similar problem last year on a bunch of laptops. They were all
missing a registry value. Anyway, here is the fix:
1. Fire up regedit and
look under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer
2. Ensure you have
a string value called BackupDirectory. The value for this should be the path to
your backup dir. The default value is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\BACKUP
btw, this fix assumes you have a default instance
installed. A named instance will have slightly different registry location and
filesystem path.

Background Scheduling of Maintenance order for Calibration.

Dear Experts,
I want to scheule my calibration order in QM for calibration of Test Equipment in background.
I have created my maintenance order for calibration of Gauges / Instruments (which are defined as Equipments). The dates for the calibration have been calculated based on time. When I go to the transaction of scheduling the order & save, the inspection lot for calibration is generated & the equipment task list is assigned to the lot.
I want this to automatically happen in background. This is because I have thousands of equipments, for which I can not schedule the calibration manually.

Problem regarding scheduling of maintenance plan

Dear Sap Gurus,
I am facing the problem during the scheduling of maintenancepan thruough IP10 follwing error is coming
"Planned date for maintenance plan 124 was scheduled for 00.00.0000"
Planned date for maintenance plan 124 was scheduled for 00.00.0000
Message no. IP889
Diagnosis
During scheduling of the maintenance plan, the planned date was set to 00.00.0000.
This error can occur, if, for example, the cycle for the planned schedule is too big (offset) means that the planned date is actually after the 31.12.9999.
Procedure
Check the master data of the maintenance plan to ensure that no date is calculated after the 31.12.9999.
If necessary, check the counters used and the annual performance.
I explore all the things in SPRO also also check the setting parameter for the plan but i didnt get any breakthrough for my above problem.Plz guide me whats the exactly problem with scheduling of of maintenance plan.
points are sure
Regards
Rakesh
