SQL Server Alert System: 'Severity 020'
Hi,
I received the following alert in our PRODuction database server:
SQL Server Alert System: 'Severity 020' occurred on server_name
Cannot attach the file 'DB' as database 'Db'. [CLIENT: xx.xxx.xx.xx]
Can anyone tell me what this error actually mean?
Did the database DB got corrupted?
Hi,
I only configured the alert. I am trying to find the issue which would have caused this alert in the server.
Check
ERRORLOG and see if you have any severity 20 error logged at the same time when you received alert.

Hello All,
My connnection tests for sql server fail when I create a JDBC system object. I used the exact same steps to create a oracle system object (user mapping,permissions)(of course, i used the url string and driver class pertinent to sql server) and the oracle system connection test works.
Can anyone advise me regarding this?
ThanksHi Vijay,
1. Minimum parameters for SQL Server are
Connection url-jdbc:sap:sqlserver://server.domain.com:1433;DatabaseName=Northwind
Driver class name-com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
Validate connection- Yes
User Mapping type- admin,user
2. Maintain Alias.
3. Maintain user-mapping in personalize link in mast head.
4. Test the connection.
Suppose if it still fails the test, then specify the IP address of the server name in connection url. For more info follow the SAP note - 773401 (Configuring Portal JDBC System connection properties ).
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Praveen

Capture duration time and use it in customized the SQL Server Job System Message
Hi there
I am trying to capture the job duration time and put it on the customized Job email subject.
This is the original message from SQL server, the Bold one is what I am trying to capture.
JOB RUN:
'Hello' was run on 7/30/2014 at 8:05:00 AM
DURATION:
0 hours, 0 minutes, 2 seconds
STATUS:
Succeeded
MESSAGES: The job succeeded.
The Job was invoked by Schedule 27 (Job 2). The last step to run was step 1 (Test).
Is there anyway to do that? I have tried to pull it from jobhistory and I did't have any luck.
Cheers,

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 AGENT DASHBOARD and Monitoring system
Hi
we are shopping around for a SQL SERVER management system where users that are not familiar with SQL can monitor Jobs and Job steps. Users will be able to see when a job failed and restart the job (if allowed) or call DBAs if needed based on instructions.
does anybody know of such a tool that would help operations peform their job?
thanks
eddy
eddy.aSorry mistakenly marked as proposed answer.
Sql Server 2012 has come with so many nice features which has helped me also to get validated so many stuffs in on place and that is called as Policy Based Management. Here I need to register all required servers and then all applicable policies will be
validated by executing them on daily or whenever you like.
Also Central Management Server:
An instance of SQL Server that is designated as a Central Management Server maintains server groups that contain the connection information for one or more instances of SQL Server. Transact-SQL statements and Policy-Based Management policies can be executed
at the same time against server groups. You can also view the SQL Server log files on instances that are managed through a Central Management Server. Versions of SQL Server that are earlier than SQL Server 2008 cannot be designated as a Central Management
Server.
Transact-SQL statements can also be executed against local server groups in Registered Servers.
More on below link:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/bb895144.aspx
For question on SSRS, there is option to embed buttons and by which you have option to put some commaned to execute like you can call some batch file to execute some jobs on other servers by using osql and others. This way you can try and check.

After
sql server 2012 installation, I attached my production db. Because of some reasons, i
changed sql engine account from network service user to system user by means of sql server configuration manager.
Now , there isn’t
a problem at sql server running system. But
I have doubts that
this can produce problems later. Because sql server database engine account must have privileges that listed below;
Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)
Replace a process-level token (SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege)
Bypass traverse checking (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege)
Adjust memory quotas for a process
(SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)
Permission to start SQL Writer
Permission to read the Event Log service
Permission to read the Remote Procedure Call service
While sql server installation, setup gives these
privileges to network service user automatically, but changing user by means of sql confugarition manager does not give these
privileges.
Now, system user has privileges listed below. And sql server has been running for 1,5 months without any problems.
Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)
Bypass traverse checking
(SeChangeNotifyPrivilege) (Everyone user has his privileges. So i think that system user has this privilege also)
What problems can occur because of this situation? Shall i give other privileges to system user and restart sql server or not? And how can i give these privileges to system user listed below;
Replace a process-level token (
this can be set from user rights assignments)
Adjust memory quotas for a process
(this can be set from user rights assignments)
Permission to start SQL Writer (
? - give advice )
Permission to read the Event Log service (
? - give advice )
Permission to read the Remote Procedure Call service (
? - give advice )Our server is windows server 2008 r2 enterprise edition. I have looked the bunch of permissions in user rights menu that is in local security policy settings gui.
And i have seen those permissions below were not granted to system user;
Bypass traverse checking (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege)
Adjust memory quotas for a process
(SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)
So, briefly you say, don't panic ? -

Have you moved from Unix/Oracle to Windows/SQL Server
I am looking for people that have moved from Unix/Oracle to Windows/SQL Server...
Would you do it again ?
Did you save money ?
Were you using Zones to virutalize on Unix ?
Did you gain or loose overall Performance ?
Have you had to perform a recovery on SQL Server ?
Have you done a recovery in Oracle ?
Were you using Rman ?
Which worked better ?
We are going through an analysis of does it really make sense, save money and effect performance to move from a strong unix/oracle environment to a MS/SQL environment.
THanks Rob
[email protected]Hi,
All our R/3 legacy systems are Windows/Oracle.
All the new systems (BW, SRM, CRM, XI) are Windows/MSSQL.
It was an order from the management to make the switch because of the high prices of Oracle licences.
The official motto is now Oracle on Unix only and SQL server on Windows only.
We get the same level of performance as with Oracle, but we, old SAP Oracle grumpy admins, are much more comfortable with Oracle admin than SQL server admin.
imho, SQL server may seem simplier but it is much easier to look under the hood whith Oracle.
We have to reinvent the wheel and it's kind of frustrating but we will cope with it...
I would say that SQL server is not a good choice for BW usage because there is a lot more litterature on BW database optimisation for Oracle than MSSQL.
The official SAP class does not speak at all about SQL server but has several chapters on Oracle...

Missing "Windows Service - SQL Server Analysis Services"
Hi
In my SharePoint 2013 Central Administration (this is a Project Server 2013 deployment), I got an alert for this error:
PowerPivot: MidTier process account should have 'Full Read' permission on all associated SPWebApplications.
After reading
this thread, I assumed I have the 2 accounts configured the wrong way, so I check
this article to see how to change the accounts, but on the section
"Change the account under which each service runs" it says to select
"Windows Service - SQL Server Analysis Services", which I can't find like as you can see in the screenshot below. How can I solve this? I'm new to this all, so if you could simplify the explanation I would be thankful, if not, I'll
just work on it anyway. :) Thanks!Hi ,
In the process of configuring PowerPivot for SharePoint 2010, automatically select the Analysis Services for SharePoint Integration feature. After configuring PowerPivot for SharePoint 2010, we can see
SQL Server Analysis Services and SQL Server PowerPivot System Service are started on manage services on server. So you can verify whether analysis service is installed for SharePoint on manage
services on server.
More information, please refer to the links:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/855bd055-5ad3-493f-9c5b-1f5297b2e6e2(v=sql.110)
As Trevor said, for this issue, you can ignore it. Anyway, you can also check the link:

I hope this helps.

RSA1 DB Connection from SAP BW to external SQL Server databas.
Hello,
I am trying to connect our SAP BW system with SQL Server Source System through DB Connect in transaction RSA1.
Our BW system is running on Windows and MaxDB platform, therefore have I already added the latest dbmssslib.dll library to the kernel for SQL Server.
But the connection does not work anyhow, I recieve the error "Database error -1 at CON > [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does > exist or access denied." and I am quite sure that my input parameters are correct.
Therefore I wonder if someone has run into a similar problem and what the problem could be?
Best Regards,
Niklas SandstedtHi,
I am sorry that my case was assigned to wrong forum.
That should now have been corrected, however my problem still remains unsolved in one of our systems.
I found note 178949, which fixed the problem in one system. But even though the system setup seems to be identical, the two systems appears different.
The following has been done for both systems:
1. Upgraded kernel to 701 version 111 and added dbmssslib.dll and dbmssslib.pdb files
2. Created Logical system in BD54.
3. Tried to create DB connection in transaction DBACOCKPIT.
In the third step, the setup fails and I receive the following error message when I test the connection:
Database error -1 at CON > [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not > exist or access denied.
Database error -1
All profile parameters AL11-directories also seems to be correct in both systems, so both should find the dbmssslib.dll file.
One issue that I see is in DBACOCKPIT, the checkbox for "SAP Systems with basis release" is unchangeble and marked. This however, I think was changed in the other system automatically when the connection was established successfully.
Has anyone run into the same problem?
Best Regards,
Niklas Sandstedt -

attributed to the fact that no information about page allocation is logged information about de-allocation is logged please see below figure 13. Also if you compare amount of record returned in this case we had output containing just 64 rows while offline

Transact-SQL Technical Guru - May 2014
Naomi N
T-SQL: Random Equal Distribution
Jinchun Chen: "Nice."
JS: "The crucial thing about such a procedure is to check the data before the randomization and afterwards. You might encounter situations where "John Smith" and "John Meyers" might have exchanged their First names
which is technically correct, but logically and obviously wrong. So make sure that there is one additional check afterwards that makes sure that eventual privicy concerns will not survive the random process. Normally this would not happen, but I have already
checked this is one of my older blog entries, where we exactly had that problem obfuscating data to make that operational and live data will not be recognized afterwards. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jenss/archive/2009/04/08/when-is-random-random-enough.aspx In
addition to this some attributes are sticky to each other like gender and First Name. You also have to make sure that your distribution might change statistically in relation to other attributes."
Richard Mueller: "Very instructive. Perhaps the See Also section should have more links."
Ed Price: "Great formatting and topic! Could benefit from more descriptions. Great article!"
GO: "Naomi, your article is nice. Simple to understand the 'problem' and execute the 'solution""
Manoj Pandey: "Nice article with a different way to resolve a given problem. I think this can also be done by using NTILE() function. I've added the code in comments section."
Rogge H
Extending SYS.Geometry to Utilize Temporal Data
GO: "Great article, I enjoyed reading it. Thank you"
Manoj Pandey: "I like the idea, but it took me some more time to understand the overall logic as I'm new to Geo datatypes, Thanks."
JS: "For me not using this sort of things regularly, I don't see the problem and the benefit. I have no doubt that this is a brilliant explanations how to cope with a problem, but for me this is missing yet the red line. More pictures
would be helpful describing the problem and outlining the results produced."
Richard Mueller: "Needs more explanation, and perhaps an example. There should be links to relevant references."
Ed Price: "Good job on the opening descriptions! Could benefit from breaking up and explaining the code more. Images and references would be helpful. Good article!"
Hasham Niaz
DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
Jinchun Chen: "Good."
JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."
Ed Price: "Great job on this article! Very clear and well executed! See JS's comments for some thoughts about what's possible. Great article!"
Manoj Pandey: "A good utility Function that I can use and tweak for my future needs, Thanks."

Curious Case Of Logging In Online and Offline Index Rebuild In Full Recovery
Model
Jinchun Chen: "Good article. Thank you!"
GO: "One of the best Wiki Articles ever! Thanks buddy!"
DRC: "-- This is a great article which provides in-depth information on internals of Online & Offline rebuild index and Transaction logging. -- The following statement need to be re-written for more clarity. “The less logging can be attributed
to the fact that no information about page allocation is logged information about de-allocation is logged please see below figure 13. Also if you compare amount of record returned in this case we had output containing just 64 rows while offline index rebuild
had ____ rows.” -- Overall, a great article, thoroughly enjoyed reading it."

DRC: " -- This article -- Explains on modifying/deleting the registry keys after backup -- But it doesn't provide the level/how to back up the registry. -- We also need to warn the users that if we modify/delete the wrong registry key it might

Tons of Cannot Find SQL Server errors in ULS log
Background: I inherited the maintenance of this farm. The previous consultant migrated the client from WSS 3.0 to 2013 by way of 2007 MOSS and 2010 (unsure of version). I do not know if there was a "temporary" SQL server used during this process
that no longer exists. It seems likely given all of the errors regarding a missing SQL server.
The current 2013 Enterprise farm contains 1 WFE and 3 App servers, 2 of which comprise the search topology. There is one SQL server, not aliased. All machines are VMs. One of the search servers (App) is on a different ESXi host. The timer job that is creating
all of the ULS errors is running on the WFE. Beyond that, the farm has these symptoms:
It "works" albeit very slowly. Crawl rate of 2-7 dps for both external file shares and the SP content (both with and without Task Offloading / Chimney Offloading enabled). It seems to frequently recycle or take an otherwise long time to render
in the browser (any page). Finally, it spews tens of thousands of errors 24x7 on the WFE saying a SQL server (unnamed) cannot be contacted via Named Pipes.
Specifically: "Unknown SQL Exception 53 occurred. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below. A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or
was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)".
The next error in the sequence is: "An internal error occurred while running a timer job: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that
the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool.TryGetConnection(DbConnection owningObject,
UInt32 waitForMultipleObjectsTimeout, Boolean allowCreate, Boolean onlyOneCheckConnection, DbConnectionOptions userOptions, DbConnectionInternal& connection)..."
This is followed by an error such as this: "There was an internal error invoking the timer job '{E4DDC92E-0056-4E7E-BD3F-1CF5670ACB7D}' for service '{6105D588-FB34-4F1C-82F6-479D7FE146EA}'."
Of course, each time the timer job mentioned is different.
One more error appears consistently with these although not as frequently: "The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Diagnostics.SPDiagnosticsMetricsProvider (ID 36e6942a-9a80-440f-94a4-e4a606362734) threw an exception. More information
is included below. Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in
time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=21276; handshake=0;"
I have been troubleshooting this for days but am not making much progress. How can I determine just what SQL server it says it cannot find and where that server name is stored? It seems like it has to be part of the Timer job configuration since the two
things are related.Hi,
Thanks for your sharing and have a good day.

I've been searching for HOURS how to resolve this issue:
I am trying to upgrade SQL Server 2008 R2 (Express Edition with advanced services) to SQL SERVER 2014 Standard edition, my first issue was to update the 2008 R2 to Service pack 2 on the first FEATURE RULE TEST, at this time on it's keep saying this:
======================================================================================
Rule Check Result
Rule "SQL Server 2008 R2 Service pack 2 or later is requered for upgrade.: failed.
This SQL Server 2008 R2 features that have been selected to be upgraded to SQL Server 2014 are not at the require service pack. To continue with this upgrade, install SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2 or lager to the selected instance and the shared features.
=====================================================================================
This is the Configuration Report issue:
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - System Configuration Check Report
UpgradeFeatureSpecificRules: SQL Server 2014 Setup configuration checks for rules group 'UpgradeFeatureSpecificRules'
KJRTMUpgradeBlockRule
Checks if the currently selected SQL Server 2008 R2 features to upgrade are at the supported service pack. Failed The SQL Server 2008 R2 features that have been selected to be upgraded to SQL Server 2014 are not at the
required service pack. To continue with this upgrade, install SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2 or later to the selected instance and the shared features.
====================================================================================
I try after hours and finally did install the Upgrade Advisor and got not issues, the last choice I was to uninstall the Management Studio because in other upgrade express versions got blocked, but in this new version of SQL Server 2014 I don't see any way
out!!!
Thanks.Hi again
This is the scenario:
-I have installed the SQL SERVER 2008 R2 With Advanced services (version 10.50.1600.1), and now my guest decide to upgrade to an STARNDARD version which nowadays Microsoft is offering the 2014 version.
-As all IT Support and DBA I try to upgrade to SQL 2014 to check and see with requirements were missing or updates. The first check report only ask to upgrade to SQL SERVER 2008 R2 SP2 (version 10.51.2500.0) which I found in the optional update list and
resolved immediately with the Windows Update service.
-Finally, I realise doing the discovery report (suggested in the last post) is that Windows update only download the service pack 2 for SQL Server 2008 instead of the 2008 R2 (I downloaded manually) then the version was upgrade to 10.52.4000.0
Next time I might download the updates manually and not loosing a lot hours with Windows Update, another point very important is that when SQL Server 2008 R2 is installed, create the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 folder at all programas in the Startup menu:
with the SQL Server Installation Center, but there is not one R2, when you execute this one just show the 2008 installed features.
Now we are on 12.0.2000.8
Thanks anyway and all of you for your interest!!! -
Why the non-cluster SQL Server appeared in the cluster nodes list
1, I install the node rs6 standalone, Why it appeared in the cluster node list by inquiry the dmv?
2, how to removed the rs6 from the cluster node list ?
by "set -clusterownernode -resource "XXXASQL" -owners NODE1,NODE2"?
But how to find the resource name? I tried to use window cluster name, SQL cluster name, and SQL role name , All of them say failed to get the cluster object.
3,how to set the owers to {}, I try below, but failed.IMHO, sys.dm_os_cluster_nodes DMV is associated with the SQL Server
Operating System (SQLOS), sys.dm_os_cluster_nodes returns one row for each node in the failover cluster configuration.
As you are running standalone instance on cluster I am assuming this information is being picked from
OS and not from RS6 SQL instance.
As you have confirmed Is_cluster is false and if you don’t see RS6 instance in failover cluster manager I don’t think anything damaged here. Everything looking as expected, dont change owner node as its standalone instance.
Maybe you are looking for
