SharePoint 2003 and SQL Server 2008

Can the SharePoint 2003 SQL Server 2000 database (backend) be migrated to SQL Server 2008? In other words, we want to use SharePoint 2003 with SQL Server 2008.
Thank you.

Hi there
I can confirm that SharePoint 2003 SQL Server 2000 Databases can be backed up and restored to SQL 2008 R2.
Stop all services and web on your SharePoint server before the move.
Backup all your SQL 2000 databases.
Restore them on your new SQL 2008/R2 database server
Setup a SQL Alias (make sure you DONT set the alias to 'Dynamic Port' or you may get the error below) on the SharePoint servers and after restarting SharePoint everything worked 100%.
Kind regards
Riccardo
Error if using Dynamic port on Alias .
If you move the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 databases to another computer
that is running SQL Server 2000, you may receive an error message that is
similar to the following when you try to access the portal site:
Array cannot be null.
Parameter name: Source
For example, you receive this error message when you click the link that is
displayed on the Web Parts Maintenance page. This error message may not be
caused by a Web Part issue. You may receive this error message in situations
when the TCP port that SQL Server 2000 uses is different from the TCP port
that SQL Server 2000 used on the original computer. Use Client Network
Utility to verify that the port that SQL Server 2000 uses is correct.
PS. Please remember to mark your question as answered if you got good advice.

Compatability: CR 2008, VS 2005 and SQL Server 2008 on WINDOWS 7

Crystal Reports 2008, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2008 all play nice together on a VISTA or XP box. But we cannot get a connection when we switch the OS to WIN 7. I tried to get a connection via the report designer. Is this combination of technologies currently supported?
Thanks.

Hi, Jeff;
See the [Platforms|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/00225757-ab5c-2c10-c1a8-fb9f9f0f4ac2] document for CR 2008. You need Service Pack 2 to run on Windows 7.
If you already have SP 2, then what happens when you try to make a connection?

SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server AlwaysOn - HA

Hi guys,
Please help!
I need to setup SP13 server on SQL 2012 AlwaysOn (on sql01 and sql02). The HA AlwaysOn group already configured by DB team on these 2 replica with and called SP_AOAG alias
My question is can I use this alias to setup SharePoint or I need to configure the HA AlwaysOn group for SgharePoint as suggested in the article below:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sambetts/archive/2013/04/24/sharepoint-2013-and-sql-server-alwayson-high-availability-sharepoint.aspx
Any advice greatly appreciated .
BalaiP

You do not want to use a SQL Alias with an AG Listener. Just point SharePoint straight at the AG Listener. You will need to manually add any accounts to non-primary instances. You do not need to add them to individual databases, of course. You will also
need to manually set MAXDOP to 1 on non-primary instances.

Java for PI 7.1 EHP1 in Windows and SQL Server 2008

Hi Gurus
I try to install PI 7.1 EHP1 in Windows and SQL Server 2008. The questions is :
What version of java is the correct for this installation???
And where i can download it??
Thanks and advance!!!

Hi Aaron,
The version for PI 7.1 is 1.5, instead of the 1.4.2 of 7.0/3.0.
Anyway, for VM settings, you should refer to SAP JVM, which
is used for the PI 7.11.
Hope it helps!

HSODBC connectivity between ORACLE 10g and SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi,
I'm getting below error when using the DB link between Oracle (10.2.0.2 which is on Sun Sparc) and MS Sql server 2008 R2.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:

I'm getting the above error for DB links between Oracle 10.2 and SQL Server 2008 R2. But the same, when configured for MS SQL server 2000 works fine without any issues.
Please advise me to rectify the error. We've been working for the last couple of weeks.
Regards,
Sunil

Sunil,
You don't need an Oracle ODBC driver.
The way it works is that in the gateway init<sid>.ora file, in your case initTelemetryDB1.ora, the parameter HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO points to a system DSN. This DSN should then be configured to use an ODBC driver to connect to the non-Oracle database. So, in your setup when you want to access the SQL*Server 2008 database then the DSN should use an ODBC driver that can connect to a SQL*Server 2008 database. If you still use the initTelemetryDB1.ora file for the connection then the TelemetryDB1 DSN should be configured to access the SQL*Server 2008 database.
However, there are a couple of problems with your actual setup -
- the configuration you have - 10.2 RDBMS on a Sun machine and HSODBC on Windows - is not supported. HSODBC should only be used from a RDBMS that is in the same ORACLE_HOME as HSODBC.
- 10.2 HSODBC is now desupported and has been replaced by the 11g Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) and the configuration you want is supported. That is because unlike HSODBC the DG4ODBC gateway can be installed standalone with a RDBMS being installed.
I recommend that you download and install 11.20.2 DG4ODBC on your Windows machine in a new Oracle_home and access that from the 10.2 RDBMS on Sun - which is a supported configuration. But to do this, you will need to apply either the 10.2.0.4 or 10.2.0.5 patchset to your RDBMS.
There is more information in the following note available on My Oracle Support (MOS) -
Note.1083703.1 Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products
The 11.2.0.2 DG4ODBC can be downloaded from MOS as patch and for the gateways on Windows 32-bit you just need to download -
p10098816_112020_platform_4of6.zip
However, to check the HSODBC ou need to confirm that the DSN used by HSODBC points to a System DSN configured to access SQL*Server 2008.
Have a look at -
Note 109730.1 How to setup generic connectivity (HSODBC) for Windows NT
But remember this is not a supported version or configuration and you should be using Dg4ODBC.

Mike

Which version of crystal reports can link to Windev 14 and SQL server 2008 applications

I am developing an application with windev 14 and sql server 2008, i would like to know which version of crystal report can i use?

Hi GS,
Move to .NET SDK forum.
I don't know how CR for Visual Studio will integrate into WinDev but to get the installer for VS 2010/2012/2013 go to this page:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
It's the runtime for CR 2011 or 2013 now.
As for SQL 2008 you need to install the Client tools and when creating reports use the SQLNCLI10.dll as the client DB driver for ODBC or OLE DB.

LC 8.2.1.3/JBoss and SQL Server 2008 R2

Does anyone know if there are any issues with JBoss and SQL Server 2008 r2? I tested connecting to a 2008 sql server in the adobe-ds.xml file and was getting errors in my server log.
The version of JBoss was what came with 8.0. Would I need to update JBoss prior to being able to connect to a 2008 sql server?
Thanks,
John

You are correct. You cannot use 8.2 with 2008 SQL server. You have to upgrade to version 9.
Thank you,

TopLink 10.1.3.0 and SQL Server 2008 XML datatype

We use TopLink 10.1.3.0 and SQL Server 2008 database. We are trying to map a table with a column of XML datatype, but the 'Direct to XMLType' Mapping is disabled in the Workbench.
Is it possible to map an XML datatype? If so, can you please some guidance on how it can be achieved.
Thanks for the help.
Edited by: amehta5 on Nov 4, 2010 4:09 PM

The Direct to XMLType was desired for the Oracle XMLType. TopLink does not currently support it for SQL Server. You could extend the SQLServerPlatform to add you own support. You must also be able to just map it to a String using a DirectToFieldMapping. If the MW does not let you use the mapping, you can add it in a customizer/amendment method.
FYI: If you are using TopLink 11, you should be using the eclipselink.jar and ideally using JPA, and not using the Mapping Workbench.

Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?
aa

I think you are confused with the way cluster is installed. Installing SQL on cluster is a two step process. On first node you create a new SQL cluster and on second node you need "AddNode" action.
Same edition media has to be used in above two operation.
you can install two separate instances with one enterprise and one standard.

SharePoint 2010 and SQL Server 2012 issue

Hi,
I have SharePoint 2010 integrated with SQL Server 2008 R2 in my machine. I wanted to use Power View feature, so I went for SQL Server 2012 installation. Now when I try to create the SQL Server Reporting service service application, it says, this feature
is not supported by current version of database.
Please let me know how to fix the issue. Do I need to reinstall SharePoint 2010 once again using SQL Server 2012 ?
thanks
Tarique

The only requirements for SSRS Integrated mode/PowerView are that you're using SharePoint Enterprise and SQL Enterprise/BI and that SharePoint be installed and joined to the farm on the server where you're also installing SSRS.
You need to reconfigure your sharepoint farm farm to use SQL server 2012

Reporting with Report Builder 3.0 and SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi everyone
I'm trying really hard to find books about Report Builder 3.0 or SQL Server 2008 R2
I found the following books on the "learn" site, sadly they do not cover Report Builder 3.0 or SQL Server 2008 R2 since there all too old.
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Analysis Services Step by Step
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 MDX Step by Step
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Reporting Services Step by Step
What are good books (like the ones above) for the newest system?

Hello wishmasterIN,
Thank you to post your question on TechNet forum.
Based on my experience, the books are always delayed to the new technology, since the author need time to summarize and analyze the new features in the new product or technology, write it down and publish it. If you want to have a quick learning about the
new technology, MSDN library is a good place. It can be a cookbook for you. It contains some detail steps for tools, such as Report Builder or BIDS. It also contains many new features introduction. It is always very useful for you to understand the new features.
In addition, it is based on web and many links make you can jump to the other technical point freely. The most important is all of these is free and all the information will be updated if the new feature is released.
In short, if you want to learn the latest technology about Microsoft product, MSDN is a good choice. I hope my introduction is helpful to you.

SMS_SRS_REPORTING_POINT - Error retrieving folders with SCCM 2012 and SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2

Hi:
According to all the Reporting Services logs my Reporting Point was setup correctly. When I try and run any report I see the entries below in the srsrp.log on the SQL Server. The report names show up in the Console but when I right any of the
listed reports I get errors and no report runs.
I am running SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 on a remote server. SQL is installed on its own server. There is no firewall between the Configuration Manager server and SQL Server.
Thanks.
