SQL Server 2005 Database Mail - Mail configuration information could not be read from the database.

I'm trying to setup Database Mail and send a test message, but it's not working.
I've done several step-by-steps and all and I can't get it to work. Also checked several posts in this forum but none helped. I think it used to work before (2 months ago) but we had to turn it off.
I've enabled it in Surface Configuration, have tried recreating all profiles, restarted SQL Agent, checked version mismatch...
I check the Database Mail and I get the following message:

    If you don not have any process running on your pc that uses your database like Enterprise Manager or any other third party application, use
    SqlConnection.ClearAllPools();
     in C# code before restoring. Like the following code:
    Code Snippet
    public void BackupAndRestore(string Query)
         SqlConnection.ClearAllPools();
    SqlConnection connection = new     SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectToMasterDB"]);
         SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
         da.SelectCommand = new SqlCommand();
         da.SelectCommand.Connection = connection;
         da.SelectCommand.CommandText = Query;
         da.SelectCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

    Hi Lync gurus,
    I have a weird issue:
    Just installed a Lync Standard 2013. 
    Everything works except I keep getting this error in Log: every 30 minute or so.
    First an Error:  Event 47067
    A server did not respond to HTTP request
    Server lyncserver.domain.local did not respond to HTTP request PublishCertRequest targeted at
    https://lyncserver.domain.local:444/LiveServer/UserPinService.
    Cause: Server might be down or the network path between servers might not be properly configured.
    Resolution:

    Please check you can telnet port 443 and port 444 on Lync Front End Serve from client.
    Try to regenerate a new certificate for Lync Front End Server.
    Check all the services on Lync Front End Server are started.
    Check the option “Enable all purposes for this certificate” is checked for the trusted root CA certificate.

  • Error - Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use

    I am actually trying to make a script (in Sql Server 2008) to restore one database from one backup file. I made the following code and I am getting an error -

    Check, if there are existing connections to the database you are restoring by following command
    select spid from sys.sysprocesses where dbid = db_id('AdventureWorksDW')
    if you see any existing connections then kill them by issuing KILL command Syntax for kill is
    KILL <SPID>
    once you see there are no more connections then 
    Use mastergoIF DB_ID('AdventureWorksDW') IS NOT NULL

    I havent create new token values.
    Edited by: C@rlitos on Sep 30, 2009 6:14 PMHave you configured your Infra with a new hostname on a different port ?
    Unless, you had installed your OAS with custom ports, and have not used the default ports for the components, your lsnr_token for the newurl has a problem. orasso and sso should be configured at 7777, and by default they configure at that port. That means that your newURL should be pointing to http://newurl.com:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login for the ls_login_url.
    This might have happened due to some error in registering your portal with the SSO. Have you used custom ports for your installations?
    Additionally, did you configure your newurl on port 80?

  • Handling in java special characters read from the database

    Hello,
    I have a java application which processes data from the database. During processing I have to handle some special national characters which are specified with integer codes. The codes are defined in UTF-8 and the list of these characters and their codes is constant.
    How to handle them in java where char primitive type denotes characters in UTL-16, not UTF-8. Should I use class Charset and decoder like below?
    Charset charset = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
    CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder();
    The problem which I see here is that class CharsetDecoder provides no method which would take integer code of the character in UTF-8 and return char value (in UTF-16).
    The only way I see is to provide ByteBuffer, but then I have to encode the codes of these characters in UTF-8 somehow (how?), as they have two bytes codes like 50048.
    Best wishes,

    Please verify the followings:
    Make sure that from the SharePoint front end and application servers that you can ping your SQL server.
    Make sure that your Farm account has permission to the configuration database.
    Lastly verify that your database didn't for some reasons go into recovery mode.
    once everything is fine and you are still having issues, restart the SQL host service on the SQL server.
    Once the service is restarted you will need to reboot Central Admin and then your front end servers.
    In addition, as you built your farm inside the firewall, please disable the firwall, or create rules for SQL Server service in the firwall on SQL server.
    More information about creating rules in firewall, please refer to the following posts: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c5d4d0d0-9a3b-4431-8150-17ccfbc6fb82/can-not-create-data-source-to-an-sql-server http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1929/configure-windows-firewall-to-work-with-sql-server/

  • ONLY ONE FIELD DOES NOT GET PREPOPULATED FROM THE DATABASE

    I would really, really appreciate if someone can comment or suggest something that would help with the resolution to the issue I am currently experiencing.
    Simple sample form that explains the issue can be accessed from the link below.
    How to test the form:
    Open the form.
    Click on the yellow button to add new Task.
    The problem is with Additional Product fields ( in blue). You can add as many of them as you want by clicking on the Red button with the +. Add some data and uploade in database. When you download it from the database, data will come back fine for all of them, except for the first one.
    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
    https://acrobat.com/#d=2vFWOlm56FmrC4owzpfHew 
    The code is behind the Red button with the +. Very  simple. Perhaps is the indexing issue with the database. I do not know enough about it, to be able to send any suggestion to the DB guy.
    According to the DB guy, data uploades without issue. It is the blank field when the form with data is downoloaded.

    It might be related to http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=583466&messageID=2988344

  • Wizard in a dialog window does not show errormessages from the database

    I have a main window and some wizards defined with JHeadstart. The wizards are started as dialogs to get them in a separate windows from the main window. This gives me a cancel and a save button for the dialog in addition to the ones for the wizard.
    I have managed to take away the cancel and save button from the dialog using custom .vm files. The problem is that then pressing the FINISH button for the wizard it closes the dialog window without showing errormessages from the database (ie constraint messages) and these only appear in the log. If I use the save button from the dialog it gives the errormessages, but does not exit the dialog even if there are no errormessages.
    Is this a bug or is there another way I should have done this ?
    The code for starting the wizard.
    <af:commandLink id="StartVeiRegMerknad"
    text="#{nls['TABLE_TITLE_VEIREGMERKNAD']}"
    action="dialog:StartVeiRegMerknad"
    useWindow="true" partialSubmit="true"
    launchListener="#{DialogLaunchHandler.handleDialogLaunch}"
    windowWidth="600" windowHeight="600"
    returnListener="#{backing_show.backFromPopup}"
    immediate="true">
    <f:actionListener type="oracle.jheadstart.controller.jsf.listener.DoRollbackActionListener"/>
    <f:actionListener type="oracle.jheadstart.controller.jsf.listener.ResetBreadcrumbStackActionListener"/>
    <af:resetActionListener/>
    </af:commandLink>

    Your finish button should call a custom managed bean method that executes the commit, checks whether there are errors, and only close the dialog of there are no errors.
    To close the dialog in code, you can use this:
    AdfFacesContext adf = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    adf.returnFromDialog(null, null);
    which is similar to using the <af:returnActionListener/> that you probably now used but should be removed from your finish button.

  • Could not load data from database after adding a query

    Dear all,
    I have a working crystal reports 2011 report. This report get its data from a BW 7.01 system provided by three bex queries. Everything works as expected but not I have to add a fourth query to the report then I get the following messages:
    I try to translate it because I user the german version:
    INFORMATION: In this report a stored procedure is used. Ensure that no SQL expression was added and no grouping on server side will be done.
    WARNING: Data could not be load from the database.
    WANING: Invalid argument provided. Details: The key figure structure isn't a valid field for report generation. Use instead the real keyfigures with teir units.
    Has anyone an idea what can be the reason for my issue?
    Thanks and regards!

    hi Gerrit,
    a couple of questions...
    1) are you adding all 3 queries (and then the 4th) in the same data connection or are each of these additional queries in a subreport?
    2) if all 3 queries (and then the 4th) are in the same data connection are you linking them?
    3) most importantly, if you create a brand new report off of the 4th query, is it successful?
    it's been quite a while since I've worked with bex queries but in general adding multiple queries (or stored procs or commands or combinations thereof)  to the same report is probably not a good idea. there ends up being a lot of processing happening in the crystal reports designer itself as a large virtual record set is created by the individual queries.

    My question is what the steps do I need to take to upgrade SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SP4.  The web server that host the SSRS is in 2005 SP2, and the OS is in window 2003. 
    Our SSRS report server and report server database are in different servers.  The SSRS in the web server is in 2005 SP2 enterprise edition, the report server database is in sql server 2005 SP4 enterprise edition.
    To upgrade the SSRS in web server from 2005 sp2 to sp4, do I need to backup/restore the encryption key?  Nothing will be changed in the report server database.  We will still pointing to the same database in the current server, all
    I wanted to do is performing a inplace upgrade of SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SP4.  
    Any response will be greate appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hi Lihui Chen,
    According to your description, you want to install the Services Pack 4 for SQL Server. Right?
    In SQL Server, Services Packs are used for fixing issues of current version product. It's not an Upgrade, you don't have to backup/restore your encryption key. You just need to download the Service Pack 4 on:
    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 RTM  . Please make sure you have administrative rights on the computer to install SQL Server 2005 SP4. For more information, see links below:

  • Importing data from SQL Server 2005 database

    Dear Friends
    Scenario:
    We have built an application for which the database is SQL Server 2005.
    Now, we have planned to switch over to Oracle 8i database.
    There is a field with data type as Varchar(Max) – which can hold data with a maximum length of 231 characters (SQL Server 2005)
    In Oracle 8i, the Varchar2 max size 4000 bytes or characters.
    We want to import the data from SQL Sever 2005 database into Oracle 8i database.In the process, the value for the particular field whose data type set as Varchar(Max) in SQL Server 2005 and contains more than 4000 characters gets automatically truncated while importing into oracle.
    We want the entire characters stored in the field to be imported into oracle database.
    Please suggest solutions.
    Thanks and regards

    Use CLOB if the data is purely text data. BLOB otherwise.
    But the question is why you want to switch over to an Oracle version which is de-supported by Oracle?
