SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot System Service not visible in Central Administration

Hi all,
I want to test PowerPivot 2012 on the following configuration:
- Windows Server 2008 R2 
- Sharepoint 2010 - Enterprise edition
- SQL Server 2008 R2 
- PowerPivot for Sharepoint<o:p></o:p>
As such, I downloaded SQL Server 2012 Evaluation and tried to upgrade SQL Server 2008 PowerPivot for Sharepoint instance to SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot
for Sharepoint. It didn't work as it's not possible to upgrade from Enterprise to Evaluation edition without a pid.
Next, I uninstalled the existing SQL Server 2008 PowerPivot for Sharepoint and I installed the SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for Sharepoint. 
I started to configure PowerPivot in Central administration (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210609.aspx) , but I got stuck at the 2nd step Create and Configure a PowerPivot
Service Application (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210685.aspx) in Central Administration.
The problem is that both SQL Integration Service  and SQL Server PowerPivot System service are not visible in Central administration > Manage
services on server; however they are visible and running in Windows Administrative Tools > Services.
Do you think the services are missing in Sharepoint Central Administration because the Sharepoint configuration database is on SQL Server 2008, while the Powerpivot instance is on SQL Server 2012 ?

Thank you for the suggestion.
Meanwhile I have managed to solve the problem. What I've done:
- remove PowerPivot configuration using the Power Configuration Tool
- uninstall PowerPivot
- reinstall PowerPivot
- run PowerPivot Configuration Tool - I still got the parent service error
- remove PowerPivot configuration using the Power Configuration Tool
- run PowerPivot Configuration Tool - this time I received another error regarding the user that runs SQL Server Integration services
- check  Sql Server Analysis Service account in Central Administration > Security > Service accountsManage service account - it seems that it was running under Local System account, although in Administrative Tools > Services it appeared to
be run by my domain account
- set a domain account for Sql Server Analysis Service in Central Administration
- run the PowerPivot Configuration Tool - this time it went smoothly.

  • SQL Server 2012 DB Engine does not start (clean install with server 2012 and 2008 R2)

    I'm trying to do clean installation of SQL server 2012 on Server 2012 (which is runnning as a VM on ESX server) and getting this "wait on the DB engine recovery failed" message. Initially, I though this issue was related to some permission issues
    but changing the permission or service accounts didn't help. I'm not seeing any "denied" messages in the log files either. Even with Server 2008 R2 (clean built VM), the installation gives the exactly the same error messages. 
    My setup is purely for test purpose; so, the security is not a concern. Can someone help or give me a clue where to look?

    Hi Nababoya:
    As you are telling this is a test installation process...
    In the logs i m seeing the error message "An error occurred while processing the log for database 'model'.  If possible, restore from backup. If a backup is not available, it might be necessary to rebuild the log.".
    1) If the SQL Services was installed successfully and SQL Service was not able to start because of model database issue...
        1.1) If you have model database SQL back file, start the SQL Server in single user mode with minimum configuration and try to restore MODEL database
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlserverfaq/archive/2011/05/11/inf-hey-my-sql-server-service-is-not-starting-what-do-i-do.aspx
        1.2) If you don't have backups., try to rebuild the system databases but make sure that you are not losing any data critical data on master and SQL Jobs on MSDB
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207003%28v=sql.110%29.aspx#RebuildProcedure
    2) As if this is a new installation try to repair the instance with the help of setup media file
    3) If the repair option fails., the last option wipe out the complete SQL Server components from Services.msc and Registries and start new installation.
    4) Make sure when you are doing un-installation all the required SQL Server components on services.msc should be in stop state.
    Hope this helps and let me know any questions...
    Thanks,
    Thanks, Satish Kumar. Please mark as this post as answered if my anser helps you to resolves your issue :)

  • SQL Server 2012 Express Instance is Not Discovered

    I have a single SQL Server 2012 Express instance that is the backend database for a small door security application.  I just noticed after having deployed the OpsMgr agent months ago that it never discovered the SQL instance.  The SQL instance
    is, as stated, Express, and it's the only Express instance I have.  Is that why it is not discovered?  All the documentation I found seems to indicate the opposite -- that Express is discovered and there are steps you can take to exclude Express
    instances.  I have no overrides set to exclude any instance or any database.
    - System Center Operations Manager 2012 RTM (no SP1, no R2)
    - SQL Server 2012 MP version 6.3.173.1
    - SQL Server is Windows Server 2012
    - SQL Server 2012 Express running on a Hyper-V VM.  Instance is named DOORSERVER\Eclipse
    - Agent is installed and other discoveries seem to be working fine
    - No discovery errors in the event log related to SQL, although there is one about the Windows Server 2008 discovery not being able to start, but I'm on Windows Server 2012, so I am guessing that's okay?
    - No overrides are set on the discovery
    - Discovery has found every other SQL Server 2012 instance (standard and enterprise editions)

    Well, just realized I didn't have the latest MP.  Upgrading to 6.4.1.0 version of the SQL MP fixed the discovery issue.

  • SQL Server 2012 Express SP1 will not install on Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2

    I have been attempting to install SQL Server 2012 with SP1 Express Edition for about a two weeks and have been unsuccessful.  My organization recently purchased a new Dell PowerEdge T320 Server (64 Bit) with Intel Xeon Proc.-E5-2420; 2.2Ghz, 32 Gb RAM,
    1 Tb RAID 5 H/D, and Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials (preinstalled).  The server will be configured as an on premises server.  We are running a small church management application that requires SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express.  Per the direction
    of our application vendor, we downloaded the SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express file (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) from the Microsoft SQL Server Website.  We ran the file "As Administrator" and the SQL Server 2012 Setup program began. 
    We selected New SQL Server Stand-Alone Installation, successfully installed the needed Product Updates, and accepted the MS SQL Server 2013 Express License terms. 
    When the Feature Selection Page appeared we checked only the "Data Base Eng Services".  The
    Instance Configuration Page was displayed and we inserted a "Named Instance= Shelby",then pressed next.  On the
    Server Configuration Page the only change was setting the "sql server browser = automatic".  The Database Engine Configuration Page appeared
    and we inserted the following settings:1] Server Configuration Tab; a) mixed mode, b)inserted SQL Server Admin pswd, c) added current user as administrator: 2] Data Directories Tab; default/no changes: 3] User Instanced Tab; default/no
    changes: and 4] Filestream Tab; default/no changes.  Next the
    Reporting Services Configuration Page came up and the reporting services native mode was set to
    "install and configure".  The Error Reporting Page appeared and was left as the
    "default".  The SQL Server 2012 Setup program proceeded to Installation Progress Page and started to install. Just before the install program ended it displayed a message saying that there
    were errors and the Database Eng Services did not succeed. I uninstalled SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express three (3) times, ran Windows Update after every uninstall, attempted to install the Database Engine and got the same results.  Are there any patches or
    special procedures for correctly installing SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express on my hardware configuration or Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2?  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you post the setup Summary and detail logs, which will help to figure out the problem? The details about the location can be found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143702(v=sql.110).aspx

    Hi kneeah,
    According to your description, SQL 2012 database diagram is not printed correctly and several of column names are missed. There are some suggestions for troubleshooting this issue, you can refer to the following steps.
    1. We recommend you can copy database diagram to Word and check if it will print correctly.
    2. When printing database diagrams, several of the tables contain large grey squares instead of the column names. We recommend switch Windows XP computer from Classic theme to Windows XP theme, and check if it can print correctly.
    There is more similar issue about printing database diagram, you can review the following posts.

  • Trying to install features for PowerPivot and Reporting Services from SQL Server 2012 with SP2, but no access to key?

    Hi,
    I had installed SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot on WFE and App Server. This is test farm with 1 WFE and 1 APP and 1 SQL Server.
    However, we had a heap of issues with Windows Claims Authentication and PowerPivot - issues were raised with "unable to make a connection to EntityDataSource" . Now we uninstalled the PowerPivot and Reporting Services features and wanted to install
    with the SQL Server 2012 with SP2. Originally SP2 was installed seperately and we had read there had been issues.
    Anyway on trying to install the features again using the SQL Server 2012 with SP2 iso I get 
    Could not open key UNKNOWN\Components
    I don't want to start deleting or changing permissions as quite dodgey. What is this key for anyway and how do I resolve my issue.
    Thanks.
    John.

    Hi John,
    Did you meet the error message during the process of configuring the PowerPivot for SharePoint?
    If yes, I suppose that the existing features or components have not been uninstalled completely.
    I recommend to delete the two keys left when uninstalling the PowerPivot and please make a copy of the registry keys before you delete the two keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServiceProxy
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServicea
    Please check the steps in the link below to see if there anything wrong when you uninstalling the PowerPivot and then re-install it to see how it works:

  • Creation of System Stored Procedure in SQL Server 2012 & SQL Server 2012 R2.

    Hi all,
    I am stuck at a point I am looking for a system stored procedure named 'sp_dboption' in SQL Server 2012  & R2 but could not find.
    Searched for it on the net and found that, this stored procedure 'sp_dboption' is now obsolete. So I tried to copy the content of 'sp_dboption' stored procedure from SQL Server 2008 R2 and create new system stored procedure with this name 'sp_dboption' in
    SQL Server 2012 but was unable to create the system stored procedure.
    Can you guys please tell me how to create system stored procedure in SQL Server 2012 & SQL Server 2012 R2. The reason of why I want to achieve this is because I have used 'sp_dboption' system stored procedure  in my application to create a database.
    As 'sp_dbotion' stored procedure is present in SQL Server 2008 R2 I am able to create the database in SQL server 2008 R2 but not in SQL server 2012.
    Can you please guide me how to create system stored procedure. I am out of luck.
    Please assist me, thanks & looking for help at the earliest. Hope someone will come to the fore and help me.

    Hi Vishwajeet,
    If you tried to create any object in the sys schema, you will get the error below.
    The specified schema name "sys" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.
    So I am afraid creating any object in sys schema is not supported by SQL Server. Here is a similar link for your reference.
    How to create table in SYS schema in SQL Server?
    Though sp_dboption is not in SQL Server 2012, does creating a user-defined one with the same content in 2008 make any difference in your business? You just need to specify the fully qualified name dbname.dbo.sp_dboption.
    If you are still interested in creating a system sp_dboption, you can register it with the
    sp_ms_marksystemobject.

  • Sql Server 2012 Integration Services Catalog views - cpu usage history

    Hi,
    I am new to SQL Server 2012. I have deployed and executed a SSIS package on the Integration Services catalog.
    Now, to analyze the performance of the executed package I wish to query the SSISDB catalog views to retrieve the cpu & memory usage history. Please let me know in which catalog view/table I can find this info. 
    There is a column named "Process_Id" in the "catalog.operations" table. Can we tie this id to the Sql Server pid/kid and then retrieve the cpu
    usage history ?
    ** I am using Sql Server 2012 **
    Thanks

    Hi All,
    Thanks all for your inputs. One final question - 
    As I mentioned earlier, the Sql Server 2012 catalog views
    DO NOT  capture various performance metrics
    (e.g. cpu usage history, memory usage history etc) of
    an executing SSIS package . However, I am cognizant of the fact that it is possible to retrieve this exact info
    (ie. cpu usage history, memory usage history etc) for
    a Sql-Server internally generated SPID (present in [sys].[dm_exec_sessions]).
    The approach is to find a way to join/relate the catalog provided "Process_id" to the Sql Server generated internal SPIDs in a session. If I am successful in joining these 2 process ids together,
    it will allow me to gather all the information available from both sides - ie the catalog views + the sql-server internal process SPIDs of the session. Thus, by tagging the SSIS pprocess_id to
    its sql-server session it will allow to retrieve the resource usage details by the executed SSIS process.
    **Please also let me know if the above could be achieved by any other approach.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

  • SQL Server 2012 Express Install on Windows 7 SP1 Embedded not using virtual account?

    Hi there,
    I did a default installation of SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows 7 embedded Standard SP1.
    When I look at the SQLSERVER service credential it is configured to run under "NETWORK SERVICE" instead of the virtual account "NT SERVICE\MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS".
    This is different from SQL 2012 Express installation on a non-embedded Windows 7.
    Why is this difference?
    Secondly, because of this, I am unable to take a backup of databases to any folder other than the default SQL folder.

    Hi Chandrasekaran,
    As Local Service account, the Network Service account and high privileged Local System account could be used by many services.
     It becomes harder to track which service is actually accessing resources and performing actions, because all the services are using the one Network Service account or other account.
    In Windows7 and Windows Server 2008R2, it introduces a new type of account called a virtual account, which emulates creating many unique instances of the Network Service account, so each service runs with its own instance of the Network Service account.
      For example, when you install SQL 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 and later you’ll see the services run with virtual service accounts named like:
    in the format NT SERVICE\<SERVICENAME>.
    According to your description, when the SQLSERVER service was run under “NETWORK SERVICE”, you only back up database to the default SQL folder. It may be caused by the NETWORK SERVICE account has limited local privileges, just accesses network
    resource with the computer credential. I recommend you change the account to Local System account, by default, which has full permissions on your computer.
    For more information about SQL Server service account and virtual account, you can review the following articles.

  • Which service pack should I install if I have SQL Server 2012 RTM version 11.0.2100.60

    I read the recommendation "SQL Server 2012 RTM is no longer in mainstream support. If you wish to continue getting fixes, you should absolutely plan on migrating to the SP2 branch;" from
    http://blogs.sqlsentry.com/team-posts/latest-builds-sql-server-2012/. I am not quite sure how I can migrate from RTM to SP2. Thank you in advance.

  • SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and SQL Server 2012 Standard edition vs. Enterprise - feature question

    I can't seem to find any clear answers to the implications of installing SQL Server 2012 standard edition vs. enterprise in regards to SharePoint 2013. 
    I understand that to get many of the features you need Enterprise edition of SQL 2012; but, what I can't figure out is if the backend SharePoint SQL 2012 is standard; but, the PowerPivot/SSRS server is Enterprise will we still get the features?
    If we have 3 tier SharePoint farm, one of those tiers is for the SQL Server database backend.  If that SQL instance is 2012 standard and we add another server to the farm w/ SQL 2012 Enterprise to handle the tabular models, PowerPivot, and SSRS in integrated
    mode will we still get the features?
    Or, can we (should we) install Enterprise 2012 as the SharePoint database backend and let that instance triple down as also the PowerPivot and SSRS instance?
    The Degenerate Dimension

    Hi MMilligan,
    SQL Server 2012 Standard is not supported PowePivot for SharePoint . In addition, SQL Server 2012 Standard is also not support some Reporting Services Features.

  • SQL Server 2012 Installed KB2793634 and it completed successfully but display error in the event log

    Hi
    Running SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on Windows 7 x64 SP1
    One of the machines that this is installed displayed that the Windows Installer was starting repeatedly, like every 30 secs
    I installed KB2793634 and everything completed successfully.  No errors in any of the Summary, Detail, etc and all check marks at the end.  I went throught the event viewer and in the application log and saw the following
    Product: SQL Server 2012 Database Engine Services - Update '{4023B523-7241-4B6D-83A4-92105B0A3DC8}' could not be installed. Error code 1642. Windows Installer can create logs to help troubleshoot issues with installing software packages. Use the
    following link for instructions on turning on logging support:
    Is this something with the KB.  How do I find what the issue is and what do I do to fix it? Or is this a real error?
    I brought up SQL Server and the issue that the KB resolves seems to been resolved.  I can connect to the instance just fine, the version of the KB has been applied to the instance so now it is at 11.0.3128
    Any information will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    According to the description, I know the patch that was successfully installed after the msiinstaller error.
    1. Per
    KB304888 and mentioned the possibility that the hotfix was launched a second time after the initial successful update.
    I suspect if you have installed any hotfixes or Cumulative updates after installing Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2012.
    Reference:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2793634
    2. Check the application log. Is the error happening intermittently?
    Thanks.
