SQL 2008R2 Database status not reflecting on SCOM 2012

Hi Everyone,
I am using SQL server 2008R2 with 2 instance and 9 database, SCOM agent installed on that server.
When i put 2 database offline i am not getting any alert, and i also delete 3 database its not reflecting on scom server.
I also verified SCOM services running and done re-install the agent.
Please suggest

Hi,
Have you imported the proper version of SQL MP for SCOM?
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10631
The details below are related to SQL MP.
SQL MP has database status monitor - the information from user manual:
"Periodically the monitor checks the status of the database as reported by SQL Server. This is done by running a query against the master database of the SQL Server instance and returning the state of the database. If you receive
an alert from this monitor, an action is required in order to bring the database back to an operational state."
SQL Server database state
Monitor health state
ONLINE
GREEN
OFFLINE
RED
RECOVERY PENDING
RED
SUSPECT
RED
EMERGENCY
RED
RESTORING
YELLOW
RECOVERING
YELLOW
Alert is generated when monitor switches to Critical (red) state.
Deleted databases will disappear after the next DB instances discovery which is performed every 4 hours by default. In order to initialize discovery manually you can restart SCOM Agent Health service on SQL Server and wait for a while.

Alert data is not present in SCOM 2012 Data Warehouse database since two weeks

Alert data is not present in SCOM 2012 Data Warehouse database since a week though I could see Performance data for the latest dates. Old Alert data is present but I think the latest Alert data is not being inserted to Data warehouse. No activity was done
on the day from where we are missing data.
I could see 31554 events on all my Management servers and this proves that Data Insertion is happening. I am not sure why only Alert data is missing (or not getting inserted) in DW database. I am trying to use SQL queries to fetch the data as I dont have reporting
currently. The same query is working for other dates, so there is no issue with this query.
I have noticed that I could see the Alert Data present in SCOM OperationsmNager Db but NOT present in OperationsManagerDW database.
In SCOM 2007, data will be inserted in both Ops DB and DW simultaneously. I believe the same methodology in 2012 too.
Please help me to fetch Alert data from DW. Any suggestion pls?

Hi,
Generally, data warehouse store a long-term data, and by default, it would keep 400 days data, I suggest check your configuration:

SQL Server Service is not reflecting to the new name.

Hi,
I just rename the computer and use the command below to rename the SQL Server but the SQL Server Service is not reflecting to the new name.
Is there a way to change the SQL Server Service and agent to reflect the new name or do I have to re-install sql server.
I am using SQL 2008 R2.
Thank you in advance.

If running "SELECT
@@servername" yields the old server name, it means the instance has not been renamed.
you must run statement to drop the old name of the instance and recreate it with the new name as the default (local) one..
EXEC master.dbo.sp_dropserver 'MACHINENAME\OLDINSTANCENAME'
go
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addserver 'MACHINENAME\newINSTANCENAME', 'local'
go
I took the code here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/c07ab906-dabf-4303-9737-d430d82c4f42/how-to-rename-instance-of-sql-server-2008-r2?forum=sqltools
Once you did this, look at your maintenance plans. I sometime end up having one or two still following the old name. Especially if you create this new server from a copy of another virtualized one.

Prestage Package status not reflecting on the console

Hello,
I have extracted some prestage packages successfully on the new DP but for some reasons, it doesn’t reflect the status on the primary server. After troubleshooting, I found
this article which describes my issue similarly.
http://eskonr.com/tag/sccm-2012/page/2/
Where it says, “Will reject this STA for DP”, that similarly matches with my concern.
I have followed the article regarding the script for compare the version difference but what I am not sure is, I believe it ultimately says to redistribute the content to
the DP once more ?
Let me know if I am wrong or if there is any other way as this is happening for many prestage packages.
Not sure how it started all of a sudden when it working since a day before.

Hello,
I have created a new prestage package and it extracted successfully as per the below message in Distmgr.log but for some reasons the status doesnt reflect on the console.

SharePoint 2010 SP2 hosted on Windows 2012 R2 NOT discovered by SCOM 2012 R2 + 2 SP MP's

What is the process to get SharePoint 2010 Management Packs loaded in System Center 2012 R2 to discover/monitor SharePoint 2010 SP2 (14.0.7121.5000) loaded on Windows 2012 R2?
View of installed system:
System Center 2012 R2 loaded on Windows 2012 R2 (supported separately by SQL 2012 SP1 loaded on Windows 2012 R2)
-Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products Management Pack for System Center Operations Manager 2007

SharePoint 2010 SP2 (14.0.7121.5000) loaded on Windows 2012 R2 (supported separately by SQL 2012 SP1 loaded on Windows 2012 R2)
The SharePoint 2010 Management Shell works fine!
Result
Event 0, Operations Manager - Cannot identify which SharePoint farm server is associated with. Check the management pack guide for troubleshooting information.
Looked at these already:

http://om2012.wordpress.com/2013/05/24/sharepoint-2010-mp-on-scom-2012/
Further, if the xml push does have the command get-farm instead of get-spfarm, that could be the issue. i.e.

Peter,
I recommend to remove the Windows 2012 R2 server out of the farm and redeploy on W2008 R2.
This issue does not have an easy fix.
Summarizing, this appears to be the issue:
1. Windows Management Framework 3.0 is integrated with Windows 2012 R2, which installs .NET 4 and Powershell 4.0. Not uninstallable.
2. The Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell is not supported with Powershell 4.0.
3. The SCOM SP2010 MP puts a package on the defined farm server and when the agent launches the package, it calls Powershell (v4 in theis case) and errors out. The target W2012 server will have an Error 0 in the Operations Manager Event log. See below.
Options:
1. Work around maybe - Develop method for manual discovery (I'm working on that now).
2. Rebuild SP2010 farm on Windows 2008 R2
3. System Center Team - Write a new MP to down version Powershell (Powershell.exe -Version 2)
4. Powershell Team - Write a SharePoint Snapin for Powershell 4

Copy\Paste Views not working in SCOM 2012 R2 console

Dear Concern,
Hi, I am using SCOM 2012 R2 and i have come across a problem that when i copy a view and try to paste it in same management pack, the paste action is not working. Cut and paste is working fine but copy paste not working. When i copy any view, the paste option
come alive but did not work when i clicked on it.
Has anyone tried and tested it?
Regards,

Hi,
I have tested it in my SCOM 2012 SP1 Environment and it worked there from Sealed to Unsealed and Unsealed to Unsealed.
I have no R2 Environment in reach at Moment so i cannot test it there.

Availability reports not working in SCOM 2012

Hi,
All of a sudden the availability in our SCOM 2012 is not working. I mean it just shows the plain white bar indicating UP(unmonitored) instead of the Green (available) or Red bar.
I tried to check the MS logs but could not find anything related to this issue. Please note that other performance reports are working fine. It's just the availability reports that's playing with me.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks
Srini

Hi Gautam,
This issue is resolved by restarting the SCOM services on all the MS. For some reason the MS were not able to insert the data in to the DW, once i restarted the services everything is back to normal.
Thanks.

Backup for SQL 2008R2 database taking extremely long!

Runnig DPM SP1 on hostserver backing up over to a different network. Only failing for SQL 2008 r2, where it takes a very very long time. It takes so many hours, that the job even laps its own self. Is there any other factors that can influence
this, leaving network, disk I/O and size of database on the side? Anyone with same problem? any solutions? Pretty desperate here. Thanks in advance!

Hello Samir,
Volume does not have any encryption or dedup. The actual first backup took over 20 hours. This is with dpm creating the allocated the volume for the backup. And then every backup sycronisation took about 7-8 hours. SQL database is about 1.3 TB. I understand
this big, but still they has to be another reason to why it would take way long.
thanks in advance!

Deployment Status not reflecting correct application installation status

Morning All,
Running into an issue where the application Deployment Status does not properly reflect the state of the application install.
The software installs, works properly and is reported in Software Center on the client PC as being installed succesfully however the status within CAS shows "In Progress" with a description of "Program started".
The application in question is Cisco Network Access Manager which terminates the network connection and requires a reboot before restoring. Additionally the site is behind a NAC switch which adds another layer of security to the network at that loation.
Currently I have deployed to 90 test machines - 65 of which have reported in as succesfull, the remaining 25 have installed and are working but are not being updated in the Deployment Status.
I have checked the Sender.log on the site server and link analyzer between the primary & secondary. I have also checked the client heartbeat and statemessage.log all seems well - no errors reported.
Additionally I have reviewed the WMI status on the client and repaired (just in case).
Through google search I have also ran the following:
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Call RefreshServerComplianceState
' WScript.Echo "Finished"
Sub RefreshServerComplianceState()
' Initialize the UpdatesStore variable.
dim newCCMUpdatesStore
' Create the COM object.
set newCCMUpdatesStore = CreateObject ("Microsoft.CCM.UpdatesStore")
' Refresh the server compliance state by running the RefreshServerComplianceState method.
newCCMUpdatesStore.RefreshServerComplianceState
' Output success message.
' wscript.echo "Ran RefreshServerComplianceState."
End Sub
As well as forcing a check in from the client and running the summarization on the CAS.
So far nothing seems to trigger an update. I'm hoping someone can point me in the proper direction in regards to diagnosing this problem.
Many thanks, Jeff

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

SQL azure database size not dropping down after deleting all table

Dear all,
I have a simple database on Azure for which I have deleted all table data. The size of the database is still showing 5Mb of data and I am charge for that. I have heard that this may happen from cluster index getting fragmented.
I have run a querry I found on internet on all my table index to show percentage of fragmentation and all report 0%.
DBA is not so my job but what could it be or how can I reduce that size ?
ON premise I would use COMPACT DB but not available in azure like some others DB action
Thnaks for tips
regards

user created objects/data are not the only ones stored in your database. you got system objects and metadata as Mike mentions above.
are you trying to skip being charged if you're not storing data? looking at the pricing table, you'll still get charged the $4.995 for the 0-100MB database size range.

SQL Server Database objects not show

Hi,to all
i do a connection to SQL SERVER with SQL Developer without any problems,but when i search to find table in tables level, i find any things.
in SQL SERVER my db is restored from .bak file.
in SQL Developer when connect i select my db from retrieve database,but in objects in after database connection i see first master folder and when extract i see 3 folder.
please help me to retrieve object from sql server db.

Hello,
Are you using the “Save to file” option? Try reducing the “Set maximum file size (MB)”. Disable file rollover or use it
for creating 2-3 files only.
Please report this issue on Microsoft Connect.

Only Alert Data is not being inserted in SCOM 2012 Data Warehouse database

Hi All,
Alert data is not getting inserted into SCOM Data Warehouse database since 10 days though I could see latest Performance data in DW DB. No changes were made as far I know on SCOM servers or DB's. I had this issue few months back
and got resolved by executing a qiery to create an entry for Data Warehouse Synchronisation server entry.
Now I have checked the discovered inventory and could see an entry present and it is healthy. Still, latest Alert data is not getting inserted into DW DB. Please help me out.

Universe export - data changes not reflecting in Report

Hi
The changes and the latest updates in the database are not reflecting in reports,
even if i export the universe again.
and i have refreshed the reports, that even not reflecting.
i did Edit query and Run query this action also not bringing the latest data to reports
why this happens ?
how to solve this issue ?
Regards
Dineshkumar

You can search for KB articles on SAP Service Market Place .
Here is first :
Symptom
You make changes a local Universe in Designer.
When refreshing the report, in Desktop Intelligence, the results do not reflect Universe update.
It used to be enough to simply refresh report's data, for Dataprovider to show object changes from the Semantic layer.
Change of behaviour in SP3 codeline: the DeskI Query Panel does not automatically pick up the latest modifications made to the local Universe.
Reproducing the Issue
Using BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence XIR2 SP3:
Using your universe (eFashion), create and refresh a simple Desktop Intelligence report (.rep).
Make a simple change to the universe (like renaming a field/ object name) and save these changes.
Go back to the open DeskI report and try to refresh the data provider using: 'Data/Refresh Data'.
This will not show the latest changes.
However, if you follow the same workflow using XIR2 SP2, the universe update will be immediately visible (in the report) simply after refresh.
Cause
This is not a product regression, but intentional change in application's code delivered with FixPack3.1.
Fix Request ADAPT00818520 changed the application's behaviour: << When a restricted user is logged on to view a Desktop Intelligence document, prompt windows may be slow to open. >>
Resolution
In Desktop Intelligence menu, go to: Tools > Universes
Click 'Refresh'
Select and 'Import' your universe
Next, go to toolbar menu: Data > Edit Data Provider
In Query Panel, click 'Run' to regenerate the Query and interrogate the updated universe.
Only after following these actions will the .unv ammendments be visible in the report.
Here is second :
Symptom
Changes to object made for the Universe is not affected when refreshed from InfoView if we check 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' in Universe Designer
Desktop Intelligence (Deski) Report still prompts for selection of contexts even if 'Allow selection of contexts' is unchecked for Universe
Row level Restriction is not applied correctly in InfoView(View Mode) when 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' checked in the Universe Designer
Environment
BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Service Pack 2 Fix Pack 2.6
Reproducing the Issue
Changes to object made in the Universe is not affected in InfoView(View mode) when 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' is checked in Universe
1. Log in to Designer
i) Import Island Resort Marketing
ii) Go to Universe Parameter >> SQL
ii)Uncheck Allow Selection of Multiple Context
2. Create a new Desktop Intelligence(Deski) Report based on Island Resort Marketing
i) Drag the object Country in the Result's Pane
ii) Save and Export the report to the repository.
3. In Designer Change the Object Country under Resort from Resort_Country.country to
i) Resort_Country.country+'ddd'
Note: Uncheck Allow Selection of Multiple Context
ii) Save and Export the Universe
4. Log in to InfoView
i) View the report
ii) Refresh the report
iii) Changes to the object taken place i.e Country is concatenated with ddd
5. In the Universe Designer, change the Object Country under Resort from Resort_Country.country to
i) Resort_Country.country+'eee'
Note: Check Allow Selection of Multiple Context
ii) Save and Export the Universe
6. Log out from InfoView and login again
i) View the report
ii) Refresh the report
iii) Changes not taken place. Shows only Country instead of Country concatenated with eee.
Row level Restriction is not applied correctly in InfoView(view Mode) when 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' checked for the Universe.
Import efashion Universe
Drag the Outlet_Lookup table into the objects pane on the left hand side
Create Row Level Restriction on the state field of Outlet_Lookup table as Outlet_Lookup.State=(u2018Texasu2019)
Apply the restriction to Administrator
Save and Export the Universe. Note: Uncheck Allow Selection of Multiple Context in Universe Parameter>>SQL
Log in to Desktop Intelligence (Deski) as administrator with Enterprise Authentication
Create a new Deski report
Drag the object state from the Outlet_Lookup table to the Results pane
Observed that the administrator is able to see only Texas which is expected behavior
Save and export the report
Log in to Infoview as Administrator
View the report. Refresh the report
Observed that the administrator is able to see only Texas which is expected behavior
Log in to Infoview as any user say Test User
View the report. Refresh the report
Observed that Test User is able to see all the states which is expected behavior
In the Universe Designer, Check Allow Selection of Multiple Context in Universe Parameter>>SQL for efashion Universe
Save and export the Universe
Log in to Infoview as Test user
View the report
Refresh the Report
TestUser is able to see only Texas which mean that the restriction is applied to Test User also
Cause
This is by Design as the 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' forces selection of the context, which is not possible in Infoview, so that in Infoview it is assumed the Context is already selected and no SQL regeneration is required.

Problem Description: Changes to object made in the Universe is not affected when refreshed from InfoView if we check 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' in Universe Designer
Explanation:
If we modify an object and selects also the option 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts', it means that potentially there is more than one SQL that can be generated with the use of that object. Hence if a report is created in Deski, run and exported to enterprise, that means, one particular context (SQL) has been selected.
If you then update one or more of the objects again, the SQL will have to be regenerated in Deski for the right context to be selected for that particular report.
Therefore, if this option is used, for the objects to be updated, the SQL of the report will have to be regenerated in Deski, run and export it back to repository, then refresh the report in InfoView.
For Deski reports viewed in InfoView, it is not possible to evaluate the context on refresh. The report will always use the context stored with the report and same for the SQL. Therefore the Deski report will need to be imported locally, refresh it and then export it back to repository for the changes to take place.
Problem description: Desktop Intelligence (Deski) still prompts for selection of contexts even if 'Allow selection of contexts' is unchecked for Universe
Explanation:
The option 'Allow selection of Multiple Contexts' in Designer is not to disable the prompt. It will prompt you to select context if the object used is associated with context. The option is just to allow Deski to select multiple contexts at a time if in case the object used is associated with multiple contexts and accordingly generates the SQL.
However if we uncheck the option even if there are multiple contexts associated with the object used, it will allow selection of only one context at a time.
Problem Description: Issue with Row level Restriction when refreshed from InfoView with 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' checked for the Universe.
Explanation:
We first have to regenerate the SQL in Deski, then export it to repository and refresh from InfoView for the changes to take place correctly. The explanation above applies.
