SQL 2000 SMTP works from outlook, fails from SQL

We have an older SQL2000 server running on Windows 2003 that we can't get rid of yet or upgrade to a newer version of SQL due to legacy software. It will hopefully be gone in the next 12 months or so but it needs to keep running for now. It has
been running nightly jobs that send out reports via email for years using an exchange MAPI profile via Outlook 2003. The problem is we have moved our users to Office365 and want to shut down the exchange server.
I have setup an SMTP relay on one of my other servers and the relay is working fine for forwarding alert emails from UPSes, Scanners, etc. It is only on the SQL server that I am running into problems.
I logged in as the sql domain account on the SQL server and created a new mail profile that uses SMTP to the relay and it sends fine from Outlook2003. I configured both SQLMail and SQL Agent to use the new profile. I rebooted the server,
logged in as the sql user again, started outlook, and then ran one of the jobs that sends an email as the last step. Job History says that all steps completed successfully. But the SMTP Relay doesn't even show an attempt to connect in the logs.
When i send a test message from the same MAPI profile using outlook the email goes through and shows in the logs. If i switch back to the exchange profile the emails get sent correctly and the jobs look the same in the history.
In my test system copy of these servers (backups restored to a isolated Hyper-V system) I uninstalled antivirus, made sure the firewall is turned off, and even tried uninstalling office 2003 and installing outlook 2000 (and that was hard to find a disk for...),
creating a new profile, etc. But I just get the same behavior.
The fact i can send from the profile using Outlook means the profile and smtp relay are working fine. And SQL isn't giving any error messages...
Any suggestions besides keeping exchange up for anther 12 months? I've looked for xp_smtp_sendmail but sqldev.net website has gone away.

Hi Thomas,
SQL Server 2000 was out of support since April,2013. I suggest you can try to install SQL Server 2005 or later version.
SQL Server 2000 provides a built-in method of sending emails, it requires you to have Outlook and a profile installed on the server, Before you configure SQL Mail, you should test the mail profile used by the mail client to verify that you can use it to
send and receive e-mail to and from the mail server. There is another method, that involves installing a stored procedure on your server that will allow you to send email via SMTP. For more information, see：http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/database/sending-automated-job-email-notifications-in-sql-server-with-smtp/
From SQL Server 2005, database mail is a component for sending e-mail message from the database engine using SMTP. It require to create a profile name, description, and then assign an SMTP account to the profile. For more information, you can refer to the
following steps.

SMTP works, but POP3 fails

I've been a Thunderbird user for around 8-10 years now, and I use it with multiple email accounts. I've run into a configuration issue I've never seen before, and I cannot find a solution (so far).
I changed my broadband ISP from Comcast to Frontier. With Frontier, of course, I get an email account. I can access and use the account just fine via webmail. However, when I manually configure in Thunderbird (autoconfigure produces the wrong settings), password authentication fails,
When I try Advanced Configuration, SMTP works, but POP3 fails.
I contacted Frontier support to verify the correct settings. They are as follow:
POP3: pop3.frontier.com, SSL/TLS, Port 995
SMTP: smtp.frontier.com, SSL/TLS, Port 465
I'm using full email address for the user name. He double-checked the password on the POP3 server, and it's correct. I also disabled my firewall, but it didn't help.
I'm perplexed as to why SMTP should work but not POP3.
They do not support IMAP.
Any ideas, anyone?

Import from outlook fails Windows 7 64-bit

I can install either Thunderbird or early bird and cannot import my email from Outlook (2007).

try this version http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-central/thunderbird-34.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe
That should have the fixes that were released after 31 was released. Otherwise use Version 24. 31 is simply broken for that task.

Please Help!!!!! Problem Migrating from sql 2000 stored procedure to PL/SQL

I have used a tool to convert my sql 2000 stored procedure to Oracle 10g PL/SQL, here is an example
SQL 2000 Stored Procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE [GetEmployees]
AS
Select * from EMPMST ORDER BY emp_name
GO
After Transformation i got 2 files, one was a procedure and other a package
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE GLOBALPKG
AS
     TYPE RCT1 IS REF CURSOR;
     TRANCOUNT INTEGER := 0;
     IDENTITY INTEGER;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE GetEmployees
     RCT1 IN OUT      GLOBALPKG.RCT1
AS
BEGIN
     OPEN RCT1 FOR
     SELECT *
     FROM EMPMST
     ORDER BY emp_name;
END;
When i execute the procedure GetEmployees i got this error :
SQL> execute GetEmployees;
BEGIN GetEmployees; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'GETEMPLOYEES'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Please Help me in debugging this error. Thanks in advance.

As the poster above mentioned you cannot call "GetEmployees" without a parameter.
Note that the procedure declaration has the following line
RCT1 IN OUT GLOBALPKG.RCT1
This means that whenever you want to call the procedure you must pass it a variable of type GLOBALPKG.RCT1
However unless this is merely a homework or learning exercise (i.e. you are not porting the code of a production application) i would strongly recommend that you do not attempt to simply convert the code to PL/SQL.
The reasoning behind this is that Oracle's architecture will be completely different to the source of the original code and if you attempt to simply port the code (especially using an automatic tool) you will almost certainly hit problems.
For example the SQL Server's 2000 code may (should be) be written based on SQL Server's locking strategy. Oracle's locking strategy is completly different if you try to use the same techniques as you do in SQL Server the performance will suffer.
Porting a code or a database schema from one platform to another involves a lot of analysis in order to take advantage of the features of the destination platform.
As I said this may not be important to you depending on why you are attempting a port.
Good Luck.

What is SQL 2000 mode in SQL 2005 Server?

I have a application which will work in SQL 2000 (literally). I am upgrading my SQL server to 2005 from 2000. I want to know how to make SQL 2005 to function as SQL 2000 so that my application will continu working with 2005 too..?
In other words where is the option as "Run this program in compatibility mode for" like we have in Windows?
I appreciate all your help.
Ping me in Yahoo IM : rajeshtheodore too

Which Oracle product? You've only mentioned two Microsoft products and an unnamed application so far.
In other words where is the option as "Run this program in compatibility mode for" like we have in Windows?Do you mean an option in this application that works on SQL Server, or an option in SQL Server 2005? Why would we know anything about either of those?

Database restore from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 for SBO 2005B

Hi Everyone,
I am facing some problems in regards to the restore of SBO Database from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
Let me explain you the problem.
See I am using SAP B1 2005B with patch level 38 in my laptop with SQL 2000. I have made an company in this and done work in it as a production company and now I want to restore this company in the server which has SQL 2005. How to do it.
I have taken a backup in my laptop from SAP B1 Server Suite Manager which has SQL 2000 and sucessfully backed up but when I am trying to restore in the server which has SQL 2005 I am getting the following error in SQL 2005 in server :-
Restore failed for Server 'DXBAP001'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\data\SBO_DCHAR.mdf" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please let me know the solution for it.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
In SQL 2005 create a database and name as the 200 one was (though any name would do). when you create the database note the location of the .mdb and .ldf file.
once this had created right click on your new database > tasks > restore database
in the new window select from device and point it to your .bak file created from your 2000 system, ensure you put a tick in the restore box on the new line.
in the options tab tick overwrite database, and, change the file locations in the restore as directory to the file locations of the new database. the file names must be the same too.
you can change the original file names after the restore.
that should do the trick.
thanks,
mike

Outlook 2007 won't open .pst file from Outlook 2000

I have been using Outlook 2000 for 10 years and hit the 2GB limit. As a result, Outlook 2000 would not open mail and did not permit me to delete mail to clear space.
I’d been meaning to install my Office 2007 and this seemed like the time to do so. Once installed, I attempted to open my 2 GB PST file in Outlook 2007. No luck.
Messages: “The message interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.” And “Cannot display information. There is either a problem connecting to the server or an error has occurred.”
Researching on the Web, I found Microsoft guidance that I could create a new data file and import the old (ANSI) .PST file into this new (Unicode) .PST file. When I did
that, during the Import, I encountered another error message: “The file has reached its maximum size. (Followed by two unhelpful sentences – can’t be imported).”
OK, I think, I have to reduce the size of that file. Research yields Microsoft’s “oversized PST and PST crop tool.”
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088 I do that and follow the instructions to scan the truncated file with Microsoft’s
scanpst.exe tool, which is included with Office.
Another error: scanpst.exe will not complete its scan. I receive a mysterious error message with no indication what the exact problem is. I created multiple versions
of the truncated .PST file, each smaller than the last, so that the smallest was 1.7 GB. Still errors with scanpst.exe and ultimately no luck.
I have spent more than 10 hours trying to solve this problem and am at wit’s end. I’m a freelance writer, and it’s costing me money. What’s worse,
info on projects I’m supposed to be working on are locked in that PST file! All data is stored locally on a Dell laptop with Windows 7.
Help anybody? Please? Thank you!

Fifteen hours later, I was back in business, having upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007, a process one would expect to take a half-hour tops. I'm no IT pro, but
I am pretty accomplished at fixing problems. This one seemed beyond my reach, as neither of the utilities Microsoft recommended to address the issue, the truncation tool and scanpst.exe, worked -- what a surprise! I engaged a local technician to diagnose the
problem remotely, and over a course of four hours he fixed it using a third-party program called "Outlook Recovery Toolbox." I'd actually downloaded that tool and fooled around a bit, but didn't use it for a full scan as I think that required a purchase, and
who knows if it's malware or what. Well, it worked.
So 15 hours lost. That cost me hundreds of dollars as I am self-employed, plus I have a $150 bill from the technician, which is more than fair for his two hours of labor
(the extra two hours were scanning and importing time). Again, Microsoft managed to turn into an epic ordeal what the consumer expects to be a straightforward upgrade process.
Now I have Outlook 2007, oh boy! The first thing I notice is the inflexible mail header above the message body. WTF is that supposed to be? Who was the Einstein who thought
that up? It renders USELESS like an inch of real estate right in the center of the screen! I find that it can be hidden (not, of course, with a simple, convenient and sensible right click ... oh NOOOO ... but through multi-click options available in the toolbar).
(For background, Outlook 2000 did not have that inflexible mail header -- the header info (subject, date, sender, CC) was part of the email, so if you scrolled down the
email, the header went with it and made the best possible use of available space).
Now here's a twist -- Outlook does not show, in your list of emails, whether an email has an attachment if the email was sent via Lotus Notes. That was a glitch in 2000,
and one I would expect to have been resolved in 2007. BUT NO. So, just moments ago, I have an email/meeting invitation sent from a client using Lotus Notes. Even though I had told Outlook to hide headers, it disobeyed me ...
why? Because this was a "meeting invite" email, offering me options, in that stupid inflexible header, to Accept, Decline, Propose New Time, & etc. Well, those options only increased the size of that inflexible header, so that the visible area of
the email WAS LESS THAN ONE INCH HIGH. Yes, I can adjust it -- how very productive!
These two Microsoft glitches / manifestations of poor design -- no alerting to attachments from Lotus clients and that horrid header -- very nearly conspired to cause
me to miss a critical attachment displayed only at the very bottom of the email. The document attached needs to be read and commented before the meeting, and only by the grace of God did I happen to scroll, IN THAT 3/4 INCH MAIL WINDOW, to the bottom and happen
to spot said critical attachment.
Do I expect anything more from Microsoft ... other than more grief and stupidity? Sadly, I do not. It is my misfortune in life to have to use Microsoft Word on a daily
basis, as I have for the past 10 years.
Before that, I used WordPerfect and what a wonderful program it was! I recall using WordPerfect to write and design one lovely graphical document in particular that earned
me an A+ in class. WordPerfect was so easy and powerful, with virtually no hassles—just gratification. Is it better to have loved (WordPerfect) and lost, than to have never loved at all?
Unfortunately, since all my clients use Word, I have to as well. Frankly, and I hope this isn’t against board rules, I am merely speaking the truth as I see it—Microsoft
Word is an utterly wretched application that has caused me untold grief and aggravation. Bulleting, text boxes, fickle fonts, the list is very, very long …. But it only gets worse!!!
The whole .doc .vs
docx is a complete debacle; the “Compatibility Pack” is a cruel joke. If I use Word 2000 on .docx documents, here are some of the inconveniences and frustrations that I encounter:
Bulleting function grayed out
Spelling errors not highlighted
Additional linespaces introduced into printed documents
Mysterious transposition of bold, italics and underlining
Inability to work with text boxes (“Error! Reference source not found!”)
Track Changes not accurately recorded
These are not incidental issues. I’m a spelling bee champion, but unless the spelling highlight function works, I am bound to have a typo or two in a 20-page document.
This affects the quality of my work and my livelihood.
To make matters worse, my Windows 7 often won’t find .docx documents. If I had worked on a .docx document something four months that I recall included the word
“Rumplestiltskin,” the Windows 7 Find function should locate it, but it does not.
I could go on and on. How about the dismal wireless connectivity in Window 7, vs. XP, which was virtually flawless. But I’m trying to catch up on the 15 hours that I lost yesterday thanks to Microsoft’s
awful Outlook troubleshooting and upgrade functionality.

Switch from MySQL to MS SQL Server, Query not working

I'm sure there is a simple setting somewhere for this, but cannot seem to find it and really would appreciate some assistance. Have an application which uses JDBC to connect to a MySQL DB to run the following query without an issue:
SELECT * FROM users
This returns the desired results. Changed to connect to MS SQL Server 2000 using the JDBC-ODBC bridge and the same query returns no results. The problem, SQL Server wants this query instead:
SELECT * FROM [users]
I don't want to have to change queries depending on the DB, as that is supposed to be one of the advantages of JDBC. Is there a setting in MySQL (or the JDBC driver) to have it work correctly if I pass table names in []? Or is there a setting in MS SQL Server (or in the JDBC, or ODBC) to have it accept queries without the []?
Or is there a different approach that I'm missing which would avoid this whole problem?
Thanks,
Matt

I suspect your database definitions are different. It has nothing to do with your java code.
The bracket syntax is used to indicate the more standard quoted identifiers in standard SQL.
Thus you could do this in oracle and in MS SQL Server...
SELECT * FROM "users"
I suspect that the above will work for your MS SQL Server database and will not work for your Oracle database. However if you created the table in oracle and specifically used "users" (with the double quotes around the name) when creating the table then it would work.
Of course if the database definitions are different it means you must use different SQL for each. Just as if the name of the table was 'other' rather than 'users'.

3138 SQL error opening sqlite db file from Outlook 2010 as attachment

Has anyone of you tried sending the sqlite db file thru e-mail and then open the file from Outlook 2010?
I have an air app that can be opened by doubleclicking the sqlite database file (invoke event). The file is sent via e-mail from the app itself, so another user can run the app directly from their e-mail client once he receives the db. Now everything works fine unless you use Outlook 2010 - when I open it I get an sql error 3138 - do you know what can be the problem? Everything is fine when I'm using different e-mail client (the same e-mail account, just other client) like Outlook 2003 or Thunderbird or Opera. I'm guessing Outlook 2010 is using some kind of protection to attachments that is making the file not understandable by the app, but Microsoft seems to ignore my e-mails sent to them with the same question. The db file is not encrypted if that changes anything and saving the file from outlook to desktop and then running does not help. When I do the same using Outlook 2003 everything works as it should, but unfortunatelly my customer upgraded to 2010 :/ Any ideas would be much appreciated.

This looks like a new behavior of Outlook 2010 and isn't specific to PDFs. You will need to "save as" the document. There is a thread at Microsoft forums about this with some possible workarounds:

I am running SQL Agent that executes an SSIS process from sql server1. The SSIS process executes its SQL/tables/sp’s against another sql server2.
I get an error after adding data flow tasks with transaction supported within a sequence with transaction required. The error, “The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D024 "The transaction

Prior to adding this sequence everything was working from sql agent, and there were other sequences with oledb destinations.
Everything works when running within SSIS Package.
I see this article on similar issue,

DTC was running on remote computer. The problem was it was no longer accepting transactions from remote servers. This was in SSIS so I had to turn to "Transaction Supported" for all Data Flow Transactions.

Custom DTS package migration from BPC 4.2 ,SQL 2000 to BPC 7.0 M , SQL 2005

Is there any changes required in the custom dts package when migration from BPC 4.2 , sql 2000 Environment to bpc 7.0 , SQL 2005/2008 Environment.
or
Please suggest process for migrating custom dts package from BPC 4.2 ,SQL 2000 Envirnment to BPC 7.0 ,SQL 2005/2008 Environment

When you say "custom dts package" that can mean many different things. What type of customization has been done?
There are a few BPC-related features which changed from 4.2, which must be manually adjusted, if you're using those features.
But SQL itself also changed dramatically in moving from SQL 2000 to 2005. So if your customer's packages are heavily customized around SQL 2000, this may require substantial re-work.
The only migration process for custom DTS packages -- that I'm aware of -- is to use the SQL 2005 migration tool in SSIS, see how much it messed up, and then fix everything else that's still broken.
But there also may be opportunities to improve the package overall. SQL 2005 has a lot of great new features in SSIS, over what was there in SQL 2000.
I haven't started working with SQL 2008 yet, so I can't say what complexity there is in upgrading DTS packages from 2005 to 2008. From what I read in the BPC 7 release notes, it sounds like it's a very minor upgrade, compared to the jump from 2000 to 2005.

Setting Out Of Office from Outlook not working with exchange 2010

Hi
We have an exchange 2010 server with 2 load balanced CAS server and Mailbox servers in a DAG. We have a few domain
names accepted (will call it firstdomain.com and seconddomain.com) but only one is in certificate (firstdomain.com).
The issue is - when user with default email @seconddomain.com try to set “Out Of Office” from outlook (2010 with all service
packs and updates) he is getting “ Your Out of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later” where
setting it from webmail works fine and setting it from outlook for users with @firstdomain.com reply address works fine.
we have both internal and external urls for all virtual directories set to external
host address (https://mail.firstdomain.com
  etc). All the users are on intranet with local ip subnets (sites connected via vpns ), all the routing is in place and DNS points to correct ip addresses.
Autodiscover works fine (tested in outlook ) and giving correct address for OOF link
( https://mail.firstdomain.com/ews/exchange.asmx)
wich opens fine if entered into address bar in IE so its NOT AN AUTODISCOVER issue .
I enabled logging in outlook and thats what I am getting in there:

Last thing - we are using proxy server and with proxy off it works fine although all
possible exchange server hosts/domains/ip addresses excluded from proxy.
Aside from obvious question - what can be wrong and what to test next, another question
is - how can I check/monitor setting OOF on server side (log files etc)?

is - how can I check/monitor setting OOF on server side (log files etc)?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that Outlook client with second domain name cannot use OOF setting and get an error “Your Out of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable.” However OWA works fine.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
I want to double confirm whether all account or some special user experience this question.
Would you please try to reconfigure Outlook profile in other Computer, Outlook version and return the results?
If this issue only appeared on Outlook 2010, please refer to below link to troubleshooting:

Please try to run ExBPA to test OOF to get more details about this question. Additional, I find a similar thread about your question, for your reference:

Trouble importing messages from Outlook 2000 to mail on MacBook

I have been trying for two days to import my messages and message folders from Outlook 2000 to the mail program in my new MacBook (Leopard OS).
I purchased the O2M program with which I was able to import my contacts and lists. However, every time I tried (about 5 times) to import the messages, I'd see the mailbox "Imported" listed but it was empty. After much searching I saw a posting about clicking "rebuild" which purportedly would restore the folders and messages - the "rebuild" function is not available (grayed out).
Then I downloaded Eudora to my XP laptop, imported the Outlook files to it, transferred the required files to the Mac, and used the Eudora Mailbox Cleaner (following the instructions found online) and I get the same result - I see the "Imported" mailbox, but the "rebuild" function is not available.
I'm sure I could try downloading Thunderbird and doing this all over again but it seems to me I'd just run into the same problem as with the O2M program and Eudora. I feel like there must be some simple thing I'm missing (even though I've followed the O2M instructions, the Eudora Mailbox Cleaner instructions, and some other suggestions).
Oh, and since I didn't want the Windows for Mac version of Office, I deleted the trial version so now I don't have Entourage to try importing into there first! If I'd only known......... that probably would have worked best. Does anyone know if that is on either of the installation discs that come with the MacBook?
Simply forwarding all those emails isn't an option. My ISP does not have an IMAP server, so that's not an option, either (unless I can use a .mac mail account maybe? That just occurred to me....)
At any rate, I seriously would love some suggestions/help as I'm going NUTS trying to get this done! What a mess.
TIA -

Well, I can use my .mac mail account to upload from my XP laptop, and use that .mac account on the MacBook to move the messages - - - it's just going to take forever (sigh). If anyone comes up with a quicker solution I'd be thrilled........

Data extraction from SAP r/3 to sql 2000, bpc server

Hi All,
I have posted a similar thread previously,sap r/3 to sql 2000/2005, and understood how to transfer data from SAP R/3 to SQL 2005, but I need to transfer data from SAP R/3 to SQL 2000 server, not SQL 2005 server.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kranthi.

If you want to extract SAP R/3 data to SQL 2000, here are some alternatives:
1. It becomes very easy if by any chance, you are using SAP BW with SAP R/3. You can extract the data into BW using standard or custom extractors and then send it out with open hub. SQL2000 can pick the flat files from a specified location at regular intervals.
2. You can use Business Object extractors. You can get more info at:
http://www.france.businessobjects.com/pdf/products/dataintegration/rapid_marts_sap_infosheet.pdf
3. If that is not an option, then you need to have a tool that allows being called via RFC. This agent will then execute the required command on behalf of your application and return the result. I do not know if there is a ready-to-use RFC-compliant agent for SQL Server. If you have a tool that does it for you, you might have to check your network connections (ping), permissions etc. and see if you can execute an rSQL from the remote machine on the SQL server.
There is a general solution to connect to nearly any kind of modern server application from a remote site by using simple HTTP requests. Suitable HTTP server for most needs would be:
1. Microsoft IIS
2. Java Tomcat or IBM WebSphere
3. SAP WebAS
In most cases, the IIS would probably be the one as it is installed on the Windows 2000 server anyway.
Define an Active Server Page (ASP.NET) and insert the necessary code in your favorite language to extract the data from the SQL server.
Your ASP.NET page would pack the result in the HTTP response object to be returned. In order to call the page from SAP you call the function modules HTTP_POST (using a HTTP POST request) or HTTP_GET (for HTTP GET request) on the standard RFC destination SAPHTTPA. (Pointing to a SAP utility program saphttp that resides in the SAP binary directory of your SAP database server and can be called from the command line in order to test its functionality without RFC).
