SQL Server 2005: Monitoring Database Mirroring

Hi All,
I use SQL Server 2005 with mirror enable.
Are there anyway to check/monitor/verify whether all data at principal are transit to mirror serer ?
Regards,
Pitou

What is operation mode of the mirroring configuration?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc917680.aspx#XSLTsection126121120120
/*If transaction safety (or just 'safety') is set to FULL, the principal and mirror servers operate in a synchronous transfer mode. As
the principal server hardens its principal database log records to disk, it also sends them to the mirror. The principal then waits for a response from the mirror server. The mirror responds when it has hardened those same log records to the mirror's log disk.
When safety is set OFF, the principal does not wait for acknowledgment from the mirror, and so the principal and mirror may not be fully synchronized (that is, the mirror may not quite keep up with the principal).*/

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/hi-in/data/aa937724(en-us).aspx
now i want to connect to the database from remote machine(different network).
How can i achieve this, and what setting i have to make to the sql server?
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

okey i done with some experiment.
now i am able to do it from local machine with the following code
String url="jdbc:sqlserver://LocalIP:1433;integratedSecurity=true;";
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("url");
now when i move to remote system and change the Local IP to remote IP(server has static IP)

Replacing a SQL Server 2005 Express Database with a SQL CE 3.5 database

I am just googling for the past few days to find out the answer to this problem..
I have an app developed over few man-years of effort - with vb.net and SQL 2005 Express Db. Now we use VS 2010 sp1 with .net 3.5 sp1. We have used plain T-SQL commands and the app was performing admirably well. The DB has about forty tables. The data
volume is about 200 to 300 mb max - but mainly it stays about 50 to 60 mb in many places. We are also using XML data transfers to backup the data.
Now we want to shift to SQL CE 3.5 or 4.0 - just to avoid the pain of SQL Express download and installation by the users. We have successfully created a 3.5 and 4.0 sdf files. But when we change the connection from a mdf file to the sdf file in the VS2010 settings
area, it just goes fine - the connection string is accepted and the app starts. But we get the usual error no 26 - unable to locate the database file - and a five line message that it is not able to connect to the sql server.
Are we missing something ? We have included the sqlce dll in the references.. but just not able to make the app connect to the sdf file..
All the codes, datasets, adapters, queries are just intact in the app - but just we are not able to connect to the sdf database.
We would appreciate help in this regard and also in doing a build with SQL Ce with Inno Setup which we have been using so long.
Finally there is too much of SQL CEs around - but 3.5, 3.5 sp2 and now CE 4.0 seems to be ones to go in for. Which one is really the best for our app - 3.5 or 4.0 ?
Thanks in advance.

we change the connection from a mdf file to the sdf file ... All the codes, datasets, adapters, queries are just intact in the app...
Agree with Erik, just changing the connection string don't work, you have to use data access components from
System.Data.SqlServerCe Namespace instead of
System.Data.SqlClient Namespace

SQL Server Error when tryingt to install the CMS DB on SQL Server 2005 x64

I am trying to install BOEXI R3 on w2k3 64-bit OS in a SQL Server 2005 x64 database, I am currently at the installation step where i Specify an exisiting CMS database. I created a System DSN and tested it, and it was successful. So when I got to the screen where I select my datasource I had to check use trusted connection because the datasource would not show up when Use DSN created by WOW64 option was checked. From there I could select the database I created. Oh yeah, I also made the application server local system account part of my DB admins group so it has full access to the database yet when I click next to connect I get a CMS Database Error: STU000226. here is what I have in my log:

How do I get past this?

The workaround was, I installed the SQL Server Client tools and created a System DataSource and then had to create a user DataSource (it is a quirk in the installer I guess) to get past this point in the installation. Now I have an even bigger problem. Everything but the CMS installed and the installer hung at the "Configuring the CMS" part. The installation finished but when I tried to log into the Central managment console I got this error:
Error: Server GSD-RRPT-RDC:6400 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null
I looked at the forums for the cause of this error and came to the conclusion that BOEXI does not support an installation on SQL Server 2005 when using Integrated Authentication to the SQL Server. See the engineers here disabled SQL Authentication for the SQL Server and will not allow it.
Is this true? Or is there a workaround to install the CMS using Integrated Authentication in the DataSource ?
Thanks.

Oracle 10g/11g to Sql Server 2005 Migration

Dear All,
I am a beginner to this migration Activities..
We have designed one Application which is havin Database as Oracle 10g.
and We had another small Application which is having Sql Server 2005 has Database.
Daily we need to convert DB of Oracle to Sql server DB in order to acces recent updated data..
Pls help me how to convert Database in Oracle 10g/11g to Database in sqlserver 2005..

Hello,
this is an Oracle forum and we are handling here migrations from foreign databases to an Oracle database.
For migrations in the other direction, in your case from Oracle to MS SQL Server, you need to read the Microsoft pages, e.g.:
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/migration.aspx
Daily we need to convert DB of Oracle to Sql server DB in order to acces recent updated data..Normally a migration is not a daily process, so I guess that you just want to transfer data from Oracle to SQL Server on a daily basis. If that is the case, you should consider to use our Gateways. Please start reading here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/gateways/index-100140.html
Using the Database Gateway for MS SQL Server (DG4MSQL) or the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) you can copy your data from your Oracle database to your SQL Server database, using a database link in the Oracle database.
Please let me know whether this answer helped you.

Size of SQL Server 2005 Database for SAP B1 2005 B is heavy

Hi all,
In my company we are working with SAP B1 2005 B SP 25.
Our Database is in SQL Server 2005. Its Size reaches 6 GB in less then two years periods.
Can Any body guide me to reduce the size or how to maintain database. Can we split Database in SAP B1 ?
Due to the size users getting less speed
Awaiting your valuable guidance for the same.
Best Regards,
Chintesh Soni

Hi Chintesh,
I would advise caution doing any of the things suggested in SAP Note 548772. In particular, I strongly recommend you do NOT set auto-shrink on. This is a really bad idea on a production database and I can't understand why SAP would suggest it.
Is it the data file that is 6GB or the overall size of the database (ie data and log files)? If your log file is large then this can slow performance. I recommend setting up transaction log backups on an hourly basis. This is good practice and not only keeps the log file healthy but also gives you the option to recover your data to the last transaction log backup in the case of an emergency. If you don't want transaction log backups then do as the SAP note mentions and set the recovery model to simple and do a once-off truncation of the log file.
Are you doing regular maintenance on the database (ie rebuilding indexes, updating statistics)? Are you monitoring fragmentation on the data drive and doing a defrag occasionally to keep the drive healthy?
Kind Regards,
Owen

How to attached a sql server 2008 database on sql server 2005

Hi,
I have a backup of database designed over sql server 2008. I need to attacched this on a machine where sql server 2005 is installed and I am getting the message while attaching the database.
"The database can not be opened because it is version 661.
the server supports version 611 and earlier"

You need to install/have another instance of SQL Server 2008, restore over there the database and perhaps create a SSIS package to move objects and data into SQL Server 2005

I plan to upgrade the SSRS 2005 SP2 enterprise edition in our internal web server to 2005 SP4, the Reporting server database is hosted in another sql server in sql server 2005 SP4. Do I need to do anything on the reporting server database side?

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!
Li-hui Chen

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:

Hi Timo,
My jdev version is 10.1.3.3.0, this is for R12. By PR i mean to say process request and PFR process form request in the controller.
In the Process request of the controller, i am finding the checkbox bean and assigning the firepartialaction for it.
Later in the process form request for the fired event, i am trying to handle the rendered property of the messagetextinput. Is this a right approach?
my code below
public void processRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
super.processRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
OAApplicationModule oaapplicationmodule = oapagecontext.getApplicationModule(oawebbean);
OAMessageCheckBoxBean oamessagecheckboxbean = (OAMessageCheckBoxBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("X_FLAG");
if(oamessagecheckboxbean != null)
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Message check box Bean found:", 1);
FirePartialAction firepartialaction = new FirePartialAction("change");
oamessagecheckboxbean.setAttributeValue(PRIMARY_CLIENT_ACTION_ATTR, firepartialaction);
oamessagecheckboxbean.setFireActionForSubmit("change", null, null, true);
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "setting fire event", 1);
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
super.processFormRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Inside Process Form Request", 1);
if("change".equals(oapagecontext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_PARAM)))
OAMessageTextInputBean bean = (OAMessageTextInputBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("X_NUMBER");
if(bean!=null){
bean.setRendered(Boolean.TRUE);}

PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleSoft Database Cannot Connect with MS SQL Server 2005

Folks,
Hello. I am working on PeopleSoft PIA. My system is Windows Server 2003, MS SQL Server Express 2005 Standard, PeopleTools 8.49. I am setting up PeopleSoft Database \PsMpDbInstall\setup.exe and got the errors as follows:
Error: Setup fails to connect to SQL Server. The default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connection.
Then I type in "sqlcmd" in Command Prompt and got the same error as follows:
Name Pipe Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server. MS SQL Native Client: the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connection.
In order to fix SQL Server 2005 remote connection problem, I have done the 3 steps as follows:
Step 1: In SQL Server Surface Area Connection, enable local and remote connection, TCP/IP and Name Pipes, SQL Server browser Startup type "automatic" and status "running".
Step 2: Create exception for SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server browser Service in Windows Firewall.
Step 3: Add the default SQL Server Port 1433 into Windows Firewall.
But the above 3 steps cannot resolve SQL Server Express 2005 remote connection problem. Can any folks help to resolve this problem ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Management Studio can connect with SQL Server 2005 successfully.
I have turned off Windows Server 2003 firewall completely. But "sqlcmd" in Command Prompt still connect with SQL Server 2005 because its remote connection is not allowed.
Is the "not allow remote connection" problem caused by Windows Firewall or SQL Server 2005 itself ?
Thanks.

Get an image from a varbinary field in an SQL Server 2005 database

Hi:
In a varbinary(MAX) field of an SQL Server 2005 database I
storage JPG images. I design a webservice that returns the
following XML structure:
Public Class IMAGEN
Public ErrorConsulta As Long
Public Imagen As Byte()
End Class
The response look like this:
<FLEXOBTENERIMAGENResponse>
<FLEXOBTENERIMAGENResult>
<IMAGEN>
<ErrorConsulta>0</ErrorConsulta>
<Imagen>/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/2wBDAAgGBgcGBQgH....</Imagen>
</IMAGEN>
</FLEXOBTENERIMAGENResult>
</FLEXOBTENERIMAGENResponse>
Where the node Imagen are thousands of caracters that
represents the JPG image.
How can I show this JPG in an Image control of a Flex Builder
2 or 3?
If you need more information please let me know.
Thanx in advance.

Assuming that you have text fields storing the Y N then on
the output you
have a code block like this
<%
If recordset.fields.item("wheelchair").value = "Y" then
%>
<img src="images/wheelchair.gif">
<%End if%>
However is your field is set to be a Yes/No type then the
best way is to
write the test like this
If recordset.fields.item("wheelchair").value = TRUE then

Migration from of database and app from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Hello Every body,
Lately, I have been requested to migrate one inhouse developed hub application from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g. The objective is to move application and also the database to Oracel 10g.
Here is the current platform:
OS Win 2008 64 bit
JDK 1.4.2
JBoss 3.2.5
EJB 2.1
My question is what kind of issues you guys see in above upgrade. As far I know, Schema and Database migration can be done by Oracle workbench. Oracle 10g supports JDK 1.4. Oracle 10g also supports EJB 2.1.
Anything, I need to take into consideration or any risks or problems. I would like to list down all the risks, and accordingly, I am thinking of start the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Zeeshan Qureshi

In general the Java/J2EE application needs work in the following categories:
1. Connection Settings: Use Oracle JDBC drivers, create new data sources, connection pools and what not. Disable AUTOCOMMIT for Oracle JDBC Connections.
2. For EJBs, you should regenerate the entity beans because some object names/column names might have changed in oracle.
3. Any custom SQL that is in use in the EJBs will have to be ported to Oracle just as you would do in stored procedures and other applications.
4. For Java front-ends, if you are using callouts to stored procedures and expecting result sets then they will require some changes. You need to modify the stored procedure call signature to include the REF CURSOR variables and process them.
5. Changes to any SQL Server specific database functions manipulating character/date data will be required.
6. CLOB/BLOB/XML apis are different across databases so if you are using those then focus on them as well.
7. Retreiving Auto/generated keys from database also may need changes from what I have seen.
Hope this helps..
