SQL Server 2012 Migration

We are planning to migrate our existing environment to SQL 2012.
Existing Environment:
SERVER1
OS: Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition
2 Node Active/Passive Clustering With Transactional Replication
Number of Databases -> 2 (80 gb each).
Now how to migrate above environment to SQL 2012 on Windows 2012?
After migrating how to implement Log-shipping in above enronmnment.

log shipping doesn't support automatic failover. It requires a manually effort to fix in such cases.
You need to share the log file location as a clustered resource which is part of the SQL Server cluster group so that its availble to secondary database.
Because of this problem its always recommended to use cluster with database mirroring. Refer the below article
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/c55e1bbd-5b6f-4961-8e69-3de9ef4fb75f/use-db-mirroring-or-log-shipping?forum=sqldisasterrecovery#1bb9926e-1b39-47ad-9fe9-351d0fbaaf9f
But this is not the case with replication, The replication will fail during the failover and start it's operation once its back online.

Since you are moving to SQL 2012, try to work on alwaysOn High availability groups.

SSMA 6.0 Oracle to SQL Server 2012 Migration

Hi SSMA Team,
We were migrating data from Oracle(Oracle 10.2.0.5.0)
to SQL server 2012 via SSMA 6.0 and during the migration experiencing below error
“ORA-03106: fatal two-task communication protocol error”
We are using SSMA on Windows server 2008 R2 standard 64 Bit server, also SSMA is configured to use basic Oracle provider.
Would you also please let us know what Oracle Client provider is used in SSMA 6.0 to migrate the data, additionally can you please confirm that the driver used for connectivity is " System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection"?
We have 891 tables to migrate the data from Oracle to SQL server. Out of 891 table we are getting random failures ranging from 3- 9 tables(Failed tables).
We are getting this error in between the data migration of all tables, as we have done the settings to continue the data migration in case of failures. It continues to migrate data for rest of tables. We are using SSMA console
V 6.0 to migrate the data.
I can assure you that this is not the permission issue at all (since the migration go successful for other tables and failed only for 3-10 random tables only). Following is the Variable file details we using.
<variable-group name="OracleConnection">
    <variable name="$OracleHostName$" value="SourceHostname"/>
    <variable name="$OracleInstance$" value="DP"/>
    <variable name="$OraclePort$" value="1521"/>
    <variable name="$OracleUserName$" value="User_name "/>
    <variable name="$OraclePassword$" value="PWD "/>
    <variable name="$OracleSchemaName$" value="$SchemaName$"/>
</variable-group>
<variable-group name="SQLServerConnection">
    <variable name="$SQLServerName$"   value="TargetServerHostWith instance "/>
    <variable name="$SQLServerDb$"     value="$TagetSQLServerDb$"/>
    <variable name="$SQLServerUsrID$" value=""/>
    <variable name="$SQLServerPwd$"    value=""/>
</variable-group>
This issue become a bottleneck for our project deliver, would you please help us to solve the issue at the earliest.

Migrate biztalk 2006R2/SQL server 2005 projects to Biztalk 2013/SQL server 2012

We have Biztalk application projects deployed on Biztalk 2006R2/SQL server 2005 environment on a single server
Now we have installed and configured Biztalk 2013/SQL server 2012 in a multicomputer environment where Biztalk server is on one computer while SQL server is on the other.
Now it's time to migrate the projects 2006R2 to 2013.. Is it a smooth process? I found a lot of posts about migration from 2006R2 to Biztalk 2010... Just wondering if it is similar or more complex?? Appreciate any help/suggestions.. thanks!!

Hi Annee,

Migrating Data from MySQL to SQL Server 2012

Hi all,
I'm Migrating a database from MySQL to SQL Server 2012, using SSMA for MySQL v5.2.1258. I've got the schema migrated over and have resolved any migration issues (stored procedures / views), but when it comes to migrating over the data I'm just hitting
a wall.
None of the data is migrating and when the migration report is displayed every table has a red x against it's Status. The Output box has the following:
Data migration operation has finished.
0 table(s) successfully migrated.
0 table(s) partially migrated.
64 table(s) failed to migrate.
I've seen on the forum that someone else was having the same problem
(http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlservermigration/thread/b835f4b3-3d93-42a4-9b6b-d21d3dfd8dab/)
I've set the project settings mode to default, still getting the same error and tried using both Client Side Data Migration and Server Side migration, with both giving the same result. I've tried going through the step-by-step blog as well.
I am doing something really stupid? There are 64 tables, so don't really want to try doing exports from each table and importing it into the new database.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers
Alex

DataBase Migration from SQL server 2005 to SQL server 2012

What are the challenges and steps to be taken care for proper migration of the Database.
Applications are using the Visual Studio 2012.
saikalyan

Few things that I can think of -
Verify all logins and users are migrated correctly.
Some of the SQL Server 2005 features/code could be deprecated in SQL Server 2012. Changes could be required before or after migration.
Some of the queries could have different performance (better or worse) on 2012 due to changes in query optimizer.
The applications/SSIS/DTS config files are updated to use the new server/instance name.
DNS alias names from the old servers (if used) are moved to the new server to have minimal impact on connection strings.
Plan for downtime of applications and batch processes.
Notify developers about the migration and the new server name(s)

Sybase ASE 11.9 to SQL Server 2012/2014 Data Migration

I am given a task of migrating the Sybase ASE 11.9 server databases to SQL Server 2012/2014.
We have Sybase server installed on Windows server 2000.
We are going to setup a SQL Server 2012 on another server machine.
We are planning the migration using SSMA Version 6.0.
My questions are as below:
1. Do i need to install the SSMA Sybase Client tool on both the servers?
2. The database is quite huge, so they want us to perform the migration on a Copy of Sybase database. Is it possible?
Also please let me know what are the requirements for all this process so we can take care of it before doing actual migration.

Hi Lydia ,
Thanks a lot for making it clear to me.
So as per my understanding i will install both the client
application of SSMA for Sybase and the
Server extension pack on Windows Server 2012.
So, if i can access the Sybase Server from Windows Server 2012(Sql Server Destination) then no
need to install the client application of SSMA for Sybase on Windows Server 2000(Sybase
Source).
Thanks

Error in CLR assembly after migrating to SQL server 2012

We moved to SQL Server 2012 from 2008R2 and I am unable to get the CLR assembly working. I have read several topics about trustworthy setting and a mismatch dbo SID. I checked the SID and everything looks good and the 2008R2 server works fine with
Trustworthy set to OFF. I'm starting to think it is a .NET issue. 2008R2 works with 2.0 and 2012 uses 4.0 and i'm wondering if just redeploying the assembly will fix the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Msg 10314, Level 16, State 11, Procedure MP_ExportXYToCSV2, Line 41
An error occurred in the Microsoft .NET Framework while trying to load assembly id 65540. The server may be running out of resources, or the assembly may not be trusted with PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS or UNSAFE. Run the query again, or check documentation
to see how to solve the assembly trust issues. For more information about this error:
System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'exporttocsv, Version=1.0.4780.25878, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f5567e386ca8280d' or one of its dependencies. An error relating to security occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013150A)
System.IO.FileLoadException:

   at System.Reflection.Assembly.Load(String assemblyString)

It is not clear what you have done, for an assembly with a permission set beyond SAFE to work, one of these conditions must be set:
1) The database is trustworthy and the database owner has EXTERNAL ACCESS ASSEMBLY or UNSAFE ASSEMBLY permission, depending on the permission set for the assembly.
2) The assembly is a signed with a key, and that key exists in the master database. A login has been created from the key, and this login has been granted the matching assembly permission.
Since you say that it worked on SQL 2008 R2 without trustworthy, I would assume that you had a key-login pair on the old server, but forgot to move them to the new server.
Don't set the database trustworthy. This is a potential security risk.

Package migration from SSIS 2008 R2 to SQL server 2012

hi guys:
My company has decided to use Sql server 2012 for the database service, Integration service as well as analysis service
The first question is which tool I should install to run packages ? in SQL Server 2008 R2, I've installed BIDS which is inside the disk.
Also do I need to install any visual studio tools? I was under the impression that the BIDS 2008 was using kinda shell visual studio.
Thanks
Hui
--Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --

Hi cat_ca,
To develop package in SQL Server 2012 Integration Services, we use the SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT 2012) which can be installed from the SQL Server 2012 install media. The SSDT 2012 use Visual Studio 2010 shell by default and can be integrated into Visual
Studio 2010. By installing SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012, we can also integrate SSDT 2012 into Visual Studio 2012. However, SSDT 2012 cannot be integrated into Visual Studio 2013. As far as I know, the SSDT 2014 released
in SQL Server 2014 RTM will use the Visual Studio 2013 shell and can be integrated into Visual Studio 2013.

Need to convert DTS packages to SQL Server 2012 environment.

Hi Friends,
As Part of the Project Requirement,we need to convert DTS packages to SQL Server 2012 environment.
Please sugest me best approach.
Thanks

Best approach is to re-design the packages in SSIS 2012 directy if it is feasible. Because most of the DTS feaures are discontinued and also you will have to clean up all errors that you are going to get after migration.
Discontinued Integration Services Functionality in SQL Server 2012
Otherwise you need to migrate it first to 2008R2 and then 2012 version.
Below ones would be helpful for you:

Difference between database features - SQL Server 2008 R2 navtive vs SQL Server 2012 with SQL Server 2008 compatibility set?

I am investigating the impact of upgrading from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012. To reduce the impact of the upgrade, I am planning to restore / create our application database onto SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 (SQL Server 2008 and
SQL Server 2008 R2).
Are there any differences in feature support for database running in native mode on SQL Server 2008 R2 vs a database installed on SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 set?

Are there any differences in feature support for database running in native mode on SQL Server 2008 R2 vs a database installed on SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 set?
Yes there can be difference and impact there are few features deprecated in SQL Server 2012 you must be aware about that. Please see
Deprecated Database Features in SQL Server 2012
Deprecated SQL Server features in SQL Server 2012
After you migrate database to 2012 please don't move ahead with production unless you have tested your application to new created database

SQL Server 2012 Deploy Database to SQL Azure...

I have spent many days trying to copy a simple test database from my PC to SQL Azure but with little success. Then I installed SQL Server 2012 and see a new task:
Deploy Database to SQL Azure... It looks like an automated extraction to DAC and then creating the Azure database all in one step.
I was elated, but got hit with the following three types of errors.
One or more unsupported elements were found in the schema used as part of a data package.
Error SQL71564: The element Extended Property: [dbo].[Accounts].[Address].[MS_Description] is not supported when used as part of a data package (bacpac).
Error SQL71564: Table Table: [dbo].[Activities] does not have a clustered index. Clustered indexes are required for inserting data in this version of SQL Server.
Error SQL71564: Element User: [NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE] has an unsupported property AuthenticationType set and is not supported when used as part of a data package.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac)
May I know what I can do on the on-premise database to rid of the first and third error?
Thanks.

Hello,
1) Remove the Extended Property from the (?) column Address in table Accounts.
BTW, for small databases it's sometimes easiere to generate a script for the database (and modify it slightly) instead of using the Wizard

What is Extended Property? What is this .MS_Description? I can't see it in the table designer or the Column Properties. (I don't know whether this was corruption caused by Data Sync I used earlier.) How do I remove it.
Of all the methods of copying SQL Server to Azure SQL, this one gives the least mistakes. If I can solve this Extended Properties thing hopefully I can migrate the database over.

Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager

Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager?
when I check on Microsoft site it says
Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server
or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.
When you open an .rdl file in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), if the report was
created for a previous namespace, Report Designer automatically creates a backup file and upgrades the report to the current namespace.
This is the only way you can upgrade a report definition file.
Now here is another confusing statement which says
You can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server
2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. The report server stores the report definition file in the original format. The report is automatically upgraded the first time it is viewed, but the stored report definition file remains
unchanged.
All I want to know is if I deploy a rdl made in 2008 r2 to 2012 will it work on the report manager of
2012?
<o:p>
</o:p>
Mudassar

I have tested this fucntionality and can confirm that ssrs 2008 r2 reports work when you deploy them on new ssrs 2012 report manager .
No Migration is required .
I didnt even moved report server dbs .All I did is just deployed reports on the report manager and it worked .
"You
can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server 2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. "
Microsoft needs to correct this the documentation is misleading

EHP2 - EHP7 Upgrade Path using SQL Server 2012/Win Server 2012 R2

Hi Guys.
I have question regarging Upgrade Roadmap for a ERP 6 EHP2 system based on NW 7.01 which I would like to Upgrade to ERP6 EHP7 SP7
Source System is
Windows 2012
SQL Server 2008 R2
EHP2 for ERP 6.0 SPS Level 14
Target System
Windows 2012
SQL Server 2012
EHP7 for ERP 6.0 SP 7 based on NW 7.4 SP 9
During Upgrade checks it says I must Upgrade Database first before continue since DB Release is too low for NW 7.4 SP9 as stated in Note
1951491 - Minimal DB system platform requirements for SAP NetWeaver 7.4 SP08
So, at this point I agree i have to update SQL Server to 2012 before next step
Now, my concern is that my Source System does not have the minimum NW SP level (14) to run under SQL Server 2012 which is 26.
Im currently running SAP Kernel 721 EXT Level 401 which is above mininum
According to Note 1651862 - Release planning for Microsoft SQL Server 2012 that would not be possible
Existing systems of SAP products that are out of SAP maintenance can be upgraded to SQL Server 2012 in order to prepare a SAP upgrade, if they match the SAP NetWeaver Support Package requirements defined below.
SAP products prior to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 are not supported at all on SQL Server 2012.
Required minimum SAP Netweaver Support Package Stacks (SPSs) for SQL Server 2012 (SAP ABAP, SAP ABAP+JAVA stacks)
SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 - SPS 26 (SAP BASIS 26, SAP BW 28)
SAP EHP1 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 - SPS 11 (SAP BASIS 11, SAP BW 11)
SAP EHP2 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 - SPS 11 (SAP BASIS 11, SAP BW 11)
SAP EHP3 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 - SPS 03 (SAP BASIS 03, SAP BW 03)
SAP NETWEAVER 7.1 - SPS 14 (SAP BASIS SP14)
SAP EHP1 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.1 EhP1 - SPS 10(SAP BASIS SP10, SAP BW SP10)
SAP NetWeaver 7.2 - no restriction
SAP NETWEAVER 7.3 - SPS 07 (SAP BASIS 07, SAP BW 07)
SAP EHP1 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.3 - SPS 03 (SAP BASIS 03, SAP BW 03)
If your system is running on a SPS lower than the one required above, you have to apply the minimum required SPS before upgrading/migrating to SQL Server 2012.
If you install a NetWeaver product on SQL Server 2012, the required SPS for your product must be applied immediately after the installation - see SAP note 1676665, section I for more information.
But performing the Upgrade would be technically possible? I mean not for productive use but technicaly during that time the Database is Upgrade and during SUM Execution.
According to the note it states if you install a Netweaver Product in SQL Server 2012, SPS must be applied immediately, so is kinda ambigous what SAP is saying.

Martin

Hi Martin,
For a test scenario, there's no harm in trying it (other than spending a lot of time on it, but hopefully that will prove not to be a waste). Generally, I expect you'll be fine upgrading your DBMS even though you aren't on the required minimum SP yet. The main thing you'll be missing out on is the updates to DBACOCKPIT, but once you do your EhP upgrade (with sps update included), you'll be putting that in place.
So, you could try this on your sandbox system and see if there are any problems. I assume the intent is to start the EhP upgrade as soon as the DBMS upgrade is done, right? In other words, you won't be actually using the system without the required SP except to run the EhP upgrade?
Alternatively, you could do a minimal support pack update, perhaps just a Basis SP only, to the minimum SP needed for your current release, then do the DBMS upgrade, then proceed with the EhP upgrade. This would be the safest procedure, but, as I said, I expect you can probably get away without going to this level without much problem. Again, the idea would be minimizing the time between the start and end of the total project on each system (DEV, QAS, PRD, etc).
Regards,
Matt
