SQL DBA renamed the Search databases, and now search isnt working

Our SQL DBA, saw the GUIDs and decided to rename the databases, didnt bother to tell anyone that they did it, now search is not working at all.
Should we reconfigure a new search of try to figure out how to put SharePoint search to the renamed DATABASES?
I also have found that the prior names of the Databases what they were with the GUIDs and was thinking of telling the DBA to rename them back, would this causes an issues... and this is in PRODUCTION SharePoint...

You can get the "old" names via Get-SPDatabase. Rename the databases within SQL until you have a chance to follow the proper procedure. The proper procedure is outlined here:

  • Upgrade OM 2012 to SP1 Beta - Version of SQL Server for the Operational Database and the Data Warehouse

    Hello,
    When I try to verify the prerequisites to upgrade my SCOM 2012 UR2 Platform to SP1 Beta, I have these errors :
    The installed version of SQL Server is not supported for the operational database.
    The installed version of SQL Server is not supported for the data warehouse.
    But when I execute this query Select @@version on my MSSQL Instance, the result is :
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64)   Jun 17 2011 00:54:03   Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation  Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7600: ) (Hypervisor) 
    But
    here, we can see that :
    Microsoft SQL Server: SQL Server SQL 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 SP1, are supported.
    Do I need to pach my MSSQL Server with a specific cumulative update package ?
    Thanks.

    These are the requirements for your SQL:
    SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2012 are available in both Standard and Enterprise editions. Operations Manager will function with both editions.
    Operations Manager does not support hosting its databases or SQL Server Reporting Services on a 32-bit edition of SQL Server.
    Using a different version of SQL Server for different Operations Manager features is not supported. The same version should be used for all features.
    SQL Server collation settings for all databases must be one of the following: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, French_CI_AS, Cyrillic_General_CI_AS, Chinese_PRC_CI_AS, Japanese_CI_AS, Traditional_Spanish_CI_AS, or Latin1_General_CI_AS.  No other collation
    settings are supported.
    The SQL Server Agent service must be started, and the startup type must be set to automatic.
    Side-by-side installation of System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 reporting and System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Operations Manager reporting on the same server is not supported.
    The db_owner role for the operational database must be a domain account. If you set the SQL Server Authentication to Mixed mode, and then try to add a local SQL Server login on the operational database, the Data Access service will not be able to start.
    For information about how to resolve the issue, see
    System Center Data Access Service Start Up Failure Due to SQL Configuration Change
    If you plan to use the Network Monitoring features of System Center 2012 – Operations Manager, you should move the tempdb database to a separate disk that has multiple spindles. For more information, see
    tempdb Database.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj656654.aspx#BKMK_RBF_OperationsDatabase
    Check the SQL server agent service and see whether it is set to automatic AND started. This got me confused at my first SP1 install as well. This is not done by default...
    It's doing common things uncommonly well that brings succes.

  • I renamed the card reader and now iPhoto doesn't work

    i am using a card reader to upload photos to iPhoto. everything works fine until yesterday i renamed the card reader icon (the icon always says "Untitled" but i renamed it to something else) and now it doesn't read anymore. the warning says "Unreadable Files: 1" it's in unrecognized format. i wonder if it has anything to do with renaming the file. what can i do and how can it fix this?

    Possibly
    iPhoto does not see your card reader - it sees the card so renaming it might create a problem since you are writing to the card
    Do you have photos on it you need to save? If so give image capture a try (it is in your applications folder) or use the finder -- once you have your photos off of it user your camera to reformat the card (the camera's format command) and see if that cures it (it probably will go back to untitled)

  • I forget my password and inserted the instalation cd and now It doesnt work

    I forget my password of my MacBook Pro and inserted the instalation cd to recover It and now It does not work what can I do

    Which model Macbook Pro do you have? 
    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.  
    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.  Need details on what happens when you try to boot up from your install disc.  Was it the disc that originally came with your computer? 

  • My ipod was sitting out in the heat covered and now doesn't work is there anything i can do to fix this?

    I was camping this weekend and left my ipod in the heat and now it does not work. is there any way i can fix this or do i need to send it in to get fixed'?

    - Try here first:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    - It could be only the battery since high temperature can destroy the battery.
    - I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to see what your options are.

  • I was trying to install windows in my mac pro, but, i dont know how, my mac system was deleted and now i just have the windws system and its wireless isnt working what do i do?!

    If your anwers is install mac again tell me how can i install it again i dont have the installation disk
    Help Me Plz

    Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Boot Camp applet. In that applet there is a Boot Drive option. Select Mac OS X.
    Or restart the system and hold down the Option key for a few second. A Boot Menu screen will come up. Select Macintosh HD.
    Once in OS X go to the Sys Prefences, Startup Disk and select Macintosh HD Mt Lion 10.8.2 and click Restart then Restart again. the system will now restart in Mac OS X.
    To boot back to Windows do the same, Startup Disk, and select Windows then Restart and Restart again.

  • HT4623 my IPOD is using version 5.1.1 and says it is up to date.  One of my apps updated for IOS7 and now doesn't work on my IPOD.  What can I do?  It is a podcast app that I use every day.

    My IPOD touch is using version 5.1.1. and no updates available.  I use a podcast app which I listen to every day.  The app updated for the new IOS7 and now doesn't work for me any more. 

    All yo can do is either find a compatible app that works for your 3G iPod (iOS 5.1.1) or purchase a new model iPod.

  • I had a replacement iphone 4 sent from apple through the service plan and now need to change carriers, orange dont now have my imei registered on their database and cant process the unlock can i unlock another way without jailbreak?

    I had a replacement iphone 4 sent from apple through the service plan and now need to change carriers, orange dont now have my imei registered on their database and cant process the unlock can i unlock another way without jailbreak?

    Hi philhardinges,
    You can ask Apple support for the replacement receipt, this receipt would have the old iphone information(including Imei) and the replacement iphone information.
    I had a problem like you and they sent me that information, then with the old imei you can unlock your iphone
    Another way to take the old iphone imei, you can look for the original iphone box, yep, the one i hope you saved carefully somewhere in your house hahaha. The imei is showed on the bottom of the box down-right corner.
    Hope this information can help you.
    Best regards

  • You badgered me into installing the latest Itunes and now I cannot find my music nor my podcasts. Where the **** are they?

    I was badgered into installing the latest Itunes and now I cannot find my music nor my podcasts. Where the **** did they go and how can I get them back? You folks at Apple sure make it hard to like you or want to use your products.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't normally lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the main iTunes library folder (and subfolders if possible) from any real-time scanning process.

  • Did the requested upgrade and now iTunes won't open for anything

    I upgraded to the newest version and now iTunes wont open, no error message, nothing. It looks as if it's going to launch when I click on it but nothing happens. This Happened last time I upgraded but it worked itself out after a few mins but this has been all day... nothing is working.
    I tried to plug my iPod in and not even that will launch iTunes.
    In a similar topic it was asked if QuickTime would launch, my QuickTime will open but it has been loading for 2hrs now.... WHATS GOING ON?!!???
    Dell dimension desktop   Windows XP  

    Me too... The other post relating to this was with a PC but the same is happening for macs too by the look of it. Has anyone got an idea of how to sort this out? I don't suppose it's possible to find an earlier version of iTunes to download? I'm going to have a search now cos I need iTunes to be working!

  • Check concordance between the package database and the filesystem

    Hello, I'd like to write this down :
    To list the packages installed in the database, I use
    pacman -Qsq
    -Q because it's a query on the local database, s to search and q for quiet.
    If you would like to list the files installed by pacman on your computer, you would do
    pacman -Qqs | xargs pacman -Ql | cut -f2 -d' '
    and if you would to count them you could write
    pacman -Qqs|xargs pacman -Ql|wc -l
    If you'd want to know if the files actually exist, and reporting for errors, you could run
    for a_package in $(pacman -Qqs) ; do
    for a_file in $( pacman -Ql ${a_package}|cut -d' ' -f2 ) ; do
    if [ ! -e ${a_file} ]; then
    echo package ${a_package} is broken: file ${a_file} is missing. ;
    # use the following if you would wish to remove the broken package.
    # sudo pacman -R ${a_package} ;
    # break
    fi ;
    done ;
    done
    The if test does check if the file, whatever its kind (folder, symbolic link, etc), does actually exist on your computer, and report a problem if the file is missing. In a generality purpose, I used test -e. You could look at the test manpage, to look for more elaborate examples. You can imagine report what kind of file is missing, or run a check of the permissions and owner which file has in the file system.
    So, I use this because I recently messed up my system with AUR build that came along with the database, but was hard to debug. I don't know how to distinguish between an AUR package and an official package, so this solution came out to clean my database.
    I hope I could post more code snippets here if you find it useful. See you.

    yes. It does the job as well. Just a question: can you use the output of this command to remove the packages which are broken ?
    EDIT: actually pacman -Qqk gives the name of broken packages. My apologies.

    Reset the device, restart the device, try downloading any other app.
    All of these are basic steps that could have been found by a simple search of the forums as a resolution for the issue.

  • IPhoto just froze so I Force Quit the iPhoto app and now I have lost half my (hundreds) of photos. How do I restore them?

    iPhoto just froze so I Force Quit the iPhoto app and now I have lost half my (hundreds) of photos. How do I restore them?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
