SQL Server 2005 and 2000

Hello,
Is it possible to develop on SQL server 2000. And use the sbo company database in sql server 2005
Regards,
Kit

Yes Kit,
SQL 2000 is forward compatible with 2005. Thus you can develop in 2000 and migrate to 2005 when need be. The only thing is with the securities in 2005. It works slightly differently in 2005. But that you can sort out with minimal effort when you migrate/implement to 2005. And this will only be an "issue" if you use your own SQL logins/user. Using the standard SBO connections will allow seamless cut-over from 2000 to 2005.

How to integrate from MS SQL SERVER 2005 and Flatfile to Oracle 10g.

Hi
I am new to ODI. I am trying to load sample data from MS SQL Server 2005 and Flatfile to Oracle 10g.
1. I have created three models.
1-1. SQL2005 (SRC_CUSTOMER table)
1-2. Flatfile (SRC_AGE_GROUP.txt & SRC_SALES_PERSON.txt)
1-3. Oracle 10g (TRG_CUSTOMER table)
You may know I got those environments from the ODI DEMO environment.
2. I could able to reverse the tables also.
3. I have created an interface which contains source table (from MSSQL 2005), Flatfile and target table from ORACLE model.
4. I have imported the knowledge modules. But I am confusing in selecting the knowledge modules to source and target tables.
I've selected LKM File to SQL for flatfile model.
I've also selected LKM SQL to SQL for MSSQL 2005 model and IKM Oracle Incremental Update for the target table (ORACLE).
I've also implemented the interface that I created. It worked without errors. But there is no data in target table which is TRG_CUSTOMER.
I really would like to know what happened and what the problems are.
You can email me [email protected]
Thanks in advance
Jason Lee

what did give for SRC_AGE_GROUP SRC_CUSTOMER join condition
if it is
(SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE=SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN) AND SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE=SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX
give it as
(SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE>SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN) AND SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE<SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX

SQL Server 2005 and ColdFusion 7

Hi all,
I am using SQL Server 2005 and ColdFusion 7 (standalone) on
XP 64 Bit. I was using the exact setup a couple of weeks ago, but
had to reinstall my O/S due to hardware problems so am back to the
beginning. I remember having a nightmare setting datasources up in
the past, but did manage to find a solution.
I have tried the following:
SQL has TCP/IP Enabled
SQL is set to Mixed Authentication
SQL has a login set to the same as my Windows Username and
password
My database has a user (dbo) by the same name as the login
set in SQL
When I add a datasource in the administrator I enter the
windows username and password (I have tried without either as
well), the server name as localhost and the port as the default
1433.
I always get the following error:
Connection verification failed for data source: DATABASENAME
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket.
Connection refused: connect
Can someone offer any advice? This is driving me proper nuts.
TIA,
Paul

How to deploy MS Sql Server 2005 and 2008 jdbc driver

Hi SAP Guru's
Can somebody tell me how to deploy the jdbc driver of MS SQL Server 2005 and 2008 on SDM.
According to the SAP instruction we should have 3 files(mssqlserver.jar,msbase.jar,msutil.jar) but in 2005 driver file we only have 1 file i.e sqljdbc.jar so how do i deploy it .
Secondly i cannot deploy it on visual administrator as well and when i am doing the File to jdbc scenarion i am getting this error
" Accessing database connection "jdbc.sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=Employee failed DriverManagerException. Cannot establish connection to URL jdbc.sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=Employee SAPClassNotFoundException com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver".
can somebody please upload the screen shots on mediafire or any other site so that i will solve my problem.

Hello,
*OS: First of all: *
3 files (msbase.jar,mssqlserver.jar and msutility.jar )should be zipped to aii_af_jmsproviderlib.zip file only for UNIX OS.
For Windows OS only sqljdbc.jar file which in every version of JDBC driver should be zipped to aii_af_jmsproviderlib.zip.
You can deploy JDBC driver through SDM tool which mention in guide below:

Any problems if run SQL Server 2005 and Essbase Server on 1 machine?

<p>Hi, I would like to know if there's any problems in terms ofperformance when running SQL Server 2005 and Essbase Server on 1machine?</p><p> </p><p>Currently, my users are using Excel File (Lock & Send) toupload data to the Essbase Server and it took about 30 mins perexcel file upload. Application Manager is installed on client's andserver PC for adminstration.</p><p> </p><p>Now, I need to implement Datawarehouse and wish to installSQL Server 2005 on the current machine my Essbase Server isrunning. I will need to do simple SQL statements on the SQL Server2005 such as Update, Select, Insert etc.</p><p> </p><p>When comes to performance issues, will my current Essbase Serverbe affected? What if 2 users are accessing the Essbase Server andSQL Server at the same time? Will any data be lost in the midst ofextracting data?</p><p> </p><p>I hope someone can advise. Appreciate that.

You should really consider doing the load using a data load rule. If that isn't the problem, it may be that you are having a real performance problem. If you are moving enough data to require a half hour load, it should be probably be loaded from a text file, or even a spreadsheet, using a data load rule. Text file loads are a bit better than excel, especially when there are formatting issues. <BR><BR>Lock and sends are fine for changing parameters and doing adjustments, but heavy duty data loads really work a lot better with load rules.

SQL server 2005 and MDM components

Question:
1) Could we make a repository with relevant tables in SQL server2005, and then import to MDM Console?
2) Could we see the tables of one repository in SQL server 2005.e.g. In MDM console, one repository created with the name Test001, Test 001 has the main table and subtable as well as special table and Admin table. Now I want to see the same structure and same table name in SQL server 2005, can SQL server 2005 provide this possible? If it is possible, which component of SQL should we use?
Thanks!

Hi Alfred ,
1) MDM Basically created tables in database according to its needs . I am not sure if SAP provided the way around
2) Nope , Its not same structure in database . I only know <b>CM_History</b> is used to track the history . You can use MDM API's to access database .
Hope this helps a little ,

MS SQL Server 2005 and JDBC

Hi friends
I am new in Java and for the first time I want to write a program to connect to my database on MS SQL Server 2005 to retreive data. I read the tutorial, but I couldn't find there any information about the proper driver name to connect to a SQL Server database ;(
Could you please let me know what I should write as DriverManager.getConnection(????) to make the connection?
Thank you in advance.

I really thank you for your patience and accompanying me. At last I found what the problem was! It was about MS SQL Server 2005 TCP/IP connection!!!! It's disable by default, so it didn't let my java program to login. I enabled it and restart all the SQL services again. But when I executed the program another error appeared: This driver doesn't let you to have integrated secuirty .So I had to bring the 'sa' user id and its password to login to MS SQL Server. And this time it worked!! You are right, I had to cheange the connection URL to bring the port in it.
I am writing a system for a small company in java, and I installed the MS SQL Server 2005 myself and I should manage all the problems myself! So I didn't have anyone to help me but you dear friends.
I really appreciate all your valuable advice.
Now the final code is:
import java.sql.*;
public class DBtest {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // Create a variable for the connection string.
          //String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=Northwind;integratedSecurity=true;";
          String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=Northwind;integratedSecurity=true;";
          // Declare the JDBC objects.
          Connection con = null;
          Statement stmt = null;
          ResultSet rs = null;
             try {
                  // Establish the connection.
                      Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
                      con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
                      // Create and execute an SQL statement that returns some data.
                      String SQL = "SELECT city,country FROM customers";
                      stmt = con.createStatement();
                      rs = stmt.executeQuery(SQL);
                      // Iterate through the data in the result set and display it.
                      while (rs.next()) {
                           System.out.println(rs.getString(0) + " " + rs.getString(1));
          // Handle any errors that may have occurred.
          catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          finally {
               if (rs != null) try { rs.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
                   if (stmt != null) try { stmt.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}

SQL Server 2005 and JDBC-relation

Hi, i use a SQL-Server 2005 database for my Java App (with Hibernate) and i configure the DB with SQL Server Management Studio Express. I have created several tables with foreign key-relationships, but i have now the question, whether i can define new relationships (many-to-one, etc.) in my hibernate-files (*.hbm.xml, etc,) and use them in my classes WITHOUT defining them with the SQL Server Management Studio Express??
Thanks

H.If you have the Java objects and the mapping (either in .hbm.xml or annotations) you can use the <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create</property> in your hibernate.cfg.xml to have Hibernate generate the schema for you.
But, as jschell implies, one way or the other you have to end up with tables.

MS sql server 2005 and encryption

I've got a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database server set up
with encryption forced on. I managed to get the MS 1.1 jdbc driver
from Microsoft, I then tried to configure it into Coldfusion v
7.0.2 as an Other data source. The problem I've got now is that I
get the error
"com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The SQL
Server login requires an SSL connection."
I previously tried to use the SQL Server data source type but
that didn't work either.
So how do I get past this hurdle?

There is currently no SSL support for JDBC connections.

Upgrade Steps - sql server 2005 and Essbase 9.2.0

Currently we have Essbase, EIS in AIX and Web Analysis in Windows 9.2.0 on SQL Server 2000 in Windows server as repository. We are planning to upgrade Essbase, EIS and Web Analysis to 11.1.1. At this point we wanted to upgrade our environment step by step. We are not buying new servers. First move the sql repository to 2005 and then upgrade to 11.1.1. Our data resides in another SQL server 2000 server and we use sql load rules to load the data to essbase. Is it possible to update the SQL repository to 2005 while having the data in 2000, so we continue the production environment? What are the steps required for that?
Any input appreciated.
Thanks,
Daphne.

Since most of what happens is through ODBC (especially for loading data) I think you would just have to have the proper drivers in place to talk the the SQL server instances.

Hi,
If you are trying to create a new OLAP Intelligence Report using SQL 05 I am afraid you are out of luck.
You will need to get a copy of the Productivity Pack (Available for Download in Subscribenet) .
Also, in your SQL Server Sufrace Configuraiton manager try setting Analysis Services to Allow Ananomous connections. This will make sure you get a little further initially. (Dont leave Anonymous on)

OraOledb, Linked Servers and SQL Server 2005 issues

Some issues I've come across when using SQL Server 2005 (and SQL Server Express 2005), the OraOLEDB provider (10.2.0.1) and a linked Oracle database (8.1.7.4.0 64-bit)
1) You must set the OraOledb.Oracle\AllowInProcess value to 1 to allow the OraOledb provider to run in SQL Server's process. Without doing this I receive an 'unspecified error' from the OLE DB provider when attempting to run a query
2) When running a ' select * ' query across a linked server using the provider, I receive the following error: Msg 9803, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid data for type "numeric". I can, however, select all of the columns by name and the query completes (no error). Sometimes the 'select *' query returns a few rows before the error, sometimes it doesn't. The Microsoft Provider for Oracle does not have this problem

Okay... I've got a Win2K3 Std Ed server (x64) running 64-bit SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. I've installed the Oracle 10g 10.2.1 full client and admin tools, added two named services via the NetConfig assistant, and successfully set up (and tested) a connection via the ODBC Administrator to an Oracle database.
Now... when I try to create a new connection manager in SQL Server 2005 Integration Services, the OLEDB provider for Oracle can't be found, and when I try to manually add an underlying OLEDB connection to the database, SQL Server reports:
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. The 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' provider is not registered on the local machine.
Does anyone know what I need to do to see my ODBC Server data connections in SQL Server 2005 (64 bit)? I don't have this issue on my 32-bit SQL Server 2005 servers.

SQL Server 2005 High Availability and Disaster Recovery options

Hi, We are are working on a High Availability & Disaster Recovery Planning solution for an application database which is on SQL Server 2005. What different options have we got to implement this for SQL Server 2005 and after we have everything setup how
do we test the failover is working?
Thanks in advance.........
Ione

DR : Disaster recovery is the best option for the business to minimize their data loss and downtime. The SQL server has a number of native options. But, everything is depends upon your recovery time objective RTO and recovery point objective RPO.
1. Data center disaster
Geo Clustering
2. Server(Host)/Drive (Except shared drive) disaster
Clustering
3. Database/Drive disaster
Database mirroring
Log shipping
Replication
Log shipping
Log shipping is the process of automating the full database backup and transaction log on a production server and then automatically restores them on to the secondary (standby) server.
Log shipping will work either Full or Bulk logged recovery model.
You can also configure log shipping in the single SQL instance.
The Stand by database can be either restoring or read only (standby).
The manual fail over is required to bring the database online.
Some data can be lost (15 minutes).
Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication
Peer-to-peer transactional replication is designed for applications that might read or might modify the data in any database that participates in replication. Additionally, if any servers that host the databases are unavailable, you can modify the application
to route traffic to the remaining servers. The remaining servers contain same copies of the data.
Clustering
Clustering is a combination of one or more servers it will automatically allow one physical server to take over the tasks of another physical server that has failed. Its not a real disaster recovery solution because if the shared drive unavailable we cannot
bring the database to online.
Clustering is best option it provides a minimum downtime (like 5 minutes) and data loss in case any data center (Geo) or server failure.
Clustering needs extra hardware/server and it’s more expensive.
Database mirroring
Database mirroring introduced in 2005 onwards. Database Mirroring maintain an exact copy of a database on a different server. It has automatic fail over option and mainly helps to increase the database availability too.
Database mirroring only works FULL recovery model.

HADR Considerations
Need to Understand the business motivations and regulatory requirements that are driving the customer's HA/DR requirements. Understand how your customer categorizes the workload from an HA/DR perspective. There is likely to be an alignment between the needs
and categorization.
Check for both the recovery time objective (RTO) and the recovery point objective (RPO) for different workload categories, for both a failure within a data center (local high availability) and a total data center failure (disaster recovery). While RPO and
RTO vary for different workloads because of business, cost, or technological considerations, customers may prefer a single technical solution for ease in operations. However, a single technical solution may require trade-offs that need to be discussed with
customers so that their expectations are set appropriately.
Check and understand if there is an organizational preference for a particular HA/DR technology. Customers may have a preference because of previous experiences, established operational procedures, or simply the desire for uniformity across databases from
different vendors. Understand the motives behind a preference: A customers' preference for HA/DR may not be because of the functions and features of the HA/DR technology. For example, a customer may decide to adopt a third-party solution for DR to maintain
a single operational procedure. For this reason, using HA/DR technology provided by a SAN vendor (such as EMC SRDF) is a popular approach.
To design and adopt an HA/DR solution it is also important to understand the implications of applying maintenance to both hardware and software (including Windows security patching). Database mirroring is often adopted to minimize the service disruption
to achieve this objective.
HADR Options :
Failover clustering for HA and database mirroring for DR.
Synchronous database mirroring for HA/DR and log shipping for additional DR.
Geo-cluster for HA/DR and log shipping for additional DR.
Failover clustering for HA and storage area network (SAN)-based replication for DR.
Peer-to-peer replication for HA and DR (and reporting).
Backup & Restore ( DR)
keep your server DB backups in network location ( DR)
Always keep your sql server 2005 upto date, in case if you are not getting any official support from MS then you have to take care of any critical issues and more..

Upgrade to SQL server 2005 - Point Production Environment to New Server?

We have Essbase, Workspace, EAS, EIS, FR, WA environment in Production, supporting SQL server databases are on ServerA which has all these databases in SQL server 2000. The corporate standard is moving to SQL server 2005, and the SQL server DBA has copied the supporting dbs to ServerB for testing.
Is "pointing" to ServerB an option, or do the BI+ components have to be redeployed? Any help or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.

Stephanie,
There could be schema changes between 2000 and 2005 you may want to check the support matrix to ensure your version of Hyperion is supported with SQL 2005.
Best bet is to back up the business rules, fr reports and then configure the system to the new databases on the SQL 2005 box then reimport the items.
