SQL Server Creating Blocking Alerts

I have a SCCM 2012 R2 system that has separate App and Sql servers. I installed CU4 on 3/5. Here of late my DBA support team has been getting a lot of "Blocking Alerts" from the SQL side of things. This is a sample email:

Any thoughts on why these are happening? Did I forget something when installing CU4?

Hi,
Check the step by step guide
Step-by-Step SCCM 2012 R2 CU4 Installation guide
And since the issue is related to SQL performance, it would be difficult for troubleshooting without accessing your environment, I would suggest to contact with CSS support.

E$ Table in SQL Server - creating issues

Hi All,
After a successful run of an ETL SCD Type2, the E$ table is craeted in the SQL Server but it is not deleted after the run even when it is successful, the second time I run it it causes a failure because of that, how do I automatically delete it after a succesful run, I understand the error table being there after a failure, so we investigate teh cause and then manually delete it. IS tehre a way to automatically delete it after a successful run.
Thanks for your time and help.

Hi,
When you say deleted", do you mean :
- DROPPED (= destructed, a droped table doesn't existe anymore)
- DATA DELETED (= the table is still here but the records are deleted)
By default, the CKM doesn't *drop* the error table. You can activate the "drop error table" option in the "control" tab of your interface. If so, the E$ table will be dropped (=destructed) at the BEGINNING of the interface. The E$ table is NEVER droped at the end of an interface (otherwise, we couldn't be able to read the errors).
But it shouldn't generate crash during the step "create error table" because the flag "ignore errors" is supposed to be true in the CKM step.
And, the CKM ALWAYS delete the errors of your E$ table at the beginning of the interface. It means the errors that were rejected and stored in E$ during the last execution are deleted (... in fact, only the errors due to this interface).

Unable to establishing a connection to SQL Server created via SqlManagementClient

Generic Connectivity -Oracle(10gR2) to MS SQL server - Creating DSN

Hi,
I am trying to connect Oracle 10gR2(10.2.0.4.0) on linux x86 to MS Sql Server on Windows XP
I am referring the Metalink Note 264567.1 and using DataDirect ODBC drivers for the same
I have a question here
Do I need to create the System DSN on windows XP or on Oracle (linux server)?
If it is on linux server, how to I create the System DSN on the Linux?
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Pk

Hi,
You need to create a DSN on the box where the HSODBC (the oracle db) is running, so in this case the Linux box.
I'd assume there's documentation that comes with the 3rd party odbc driver on how to create a DSN with it. It probably depends on which version of driver manager you're using (pardon my ignorance, I do strictly Windows) so you'd probably want to check the docs for the driver manager. For example, if using unixODBC, the docs are on [their web site|http://www.unixodbc.org/].
Hope it helps,
Greg

Errors when Creating Aggregate Tables in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 within SQL server

Hi Martin,
I guess, I was not clear enough. Let me try again
How Aggregate Persistence works in OBIEE?
Once you are done choosing options in the Aggregate Persistence wizard, it generates an intelligent Query.
What query is it?
If you happen to understand the query, it is not like any ANSI standard SQL (I would say DDL) query. As you might have noticed there are no SQL Server datatypes, lengths, keys, constraints etc. This query can only be understood by the BI Server.
How do I issue this query?
Since the logical query could only be understood by BI Server, it has to be issued only to BI Server Engine using some tool viz NQCMD in this case.
What does issuing this query using NQCMD do?
The execution steps are as follows, the moment the query is issue via NQCMD
Aggregate Persistent Wiz Generate Query ----- Issued to ---> NQCMD ----- Passes the logical query to ---> BI Server ----- Parses the query ---> Builds the corresponding physical DDL statements Issued --->To the Database --- If successful ---> .RPD is automatically updated with the aggregated sources etc.
How do I pass the query to BI Server using NQCMD?
The format of issuing this logical query to BI Server using NQCMD is
nqcmd -d <Data Source Name> -u <Analytics UserId> -p <Password> -s <command> > output.log
where
<Data Source Name> : Is the DSN name which OBIPS uses to talk to Oracle BI Server. Yes, it's the very same DSN that can be found in InstanceConfig.xml
<Analytics UserID> : Any user in obiee with admin privileges.
<Password> : Password of the obiee UserId
<Command> : Logical SQL Command which you already have handy.
Hope I was good this time..

SQL Server Express 2008 instance fails to start

I've installed SQL Server Express with a named instance 'SQLSERVER2'. I was able to connect to it and reference it in the management studio. There was a problem though with Visual Studio 9 when running an ASP.NET web application that required connecting to the same instance. So, I went into the configuration manager to change the security level of the instance from network to local service. The change went through but could not restart the instance. That is what has created my next round of problems. I can't go in and change it back to network because the instance is permanently stopped. I cannot start it with the services manager. How can I fix this?

Hi,
This problem can occur if the new Service Account does not have a profile on the machine. To resolve the issue connect to the SQL Server machine using the New Service account. This will create a profile for the user.
SQL Server creates a self-generated certificate if a certificate is not explicitly specified and/or is not installed. This information is saved in the profile for the SQL Server service account. If the profile has not been created then SQL cannot register the self-generated certificate.
If there are any more questions, please let me know.
Thanks.
***Xiao Min Tan***Microsoft Online Community***
What 'New Service account' are you referring to? SQL Server Express resides on my PC where I'm logged on as administrator. I don't know what you mean by connecting to the server. I only know about connecting to the database instance which is the root of the this problem because it can't be started. Sorry for my confusion...

Moving table from oracle 10g to sql server 2005 plz help!!!

Hi All,
I have a table in oracle that i have to move to sql server.
I have exported the table and the dmp file is around 150 MB.
I do not know how to import this file into sql server.
Can some one kindly update me as to which is the best way to do this,
i know the best people to answer this would be the sql server techs but just wanted to try my luck on OTN.
regards,

Hello,
you could use the Database Gateway for MS SQL Server, create a database link that uses the gateway, and then transfer the data from Oracle to SQL Server using in SQLPlus a command like the following:
copy from scott/tiger@ora102 -
insert TEST1@dg4msql -
using select * from test1@ora102 ;
Another solution is using a PL/SQL block, and how to do it is described in the following note in My Oracle Support:
"Insert Into Remote Table Select * From Local Table" Gives Error ORA-02025 Using DG4MSQL (Doc ID 790572.1)
I don't know whether it is the "best way to do it", but it is an alternative.
For inserting a flat file into SQL Server you really need to check with Microsoft. Or you can use 3rd party software: http://www.dbload.com/
Best regards

Migration From SQL Server 2005 to Oracle DB through Oracle SQ Dev Problem

Hi all,
we are trying to do a full Migration from MS SQL Server 2005 to Oracle DB 9.2 i
we are using Oracle SQL Developer V 1.5.3,
the capturing of the DB and the conversion to the oracle model completed succefully
however when we try to generate the scripts from the converted model
the script generation hangs on a sequence and no further progress is made (the script generation pop up keeps still on a certain sequence displaying its name, and thats it )
no error messages are displayed,
how can we know the reason for this? or atleast find a log for whats happening...
any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi,
migrating a sequence shouldn't make a problem. I did a quick test. I created this table in SQL Server:
create table test_seq (col1 int identity(1,1),col2 char(1))
Then I captured the table, converted the table and generated the script. There was no problem.
CREATE SEQUENCE succeeded.
CREATE TABLE succeeded.
Connected
TRIGGER test_seq_col1_TRG Compiled.
As you see, applying the script was also successful.
I am using Oracle RDBMS 11g, I don't know whether this makes a difference. Do you have any 11g instance available to test it?
Can you show me one of the sequences that are causing the hang? Is the CREATE SEQUENCE statement already in the generated script, or not? Your table is for sure more complex than my simple example.
Regards,
Wolfgang

Can't Remove Datasets From SQL Server Management Studio Restore Database Dialog

Hello,
I am trying to restore a database in MS SQL 2008 R2 Management Studio on a Windows 2008 server.
- I right click the Databases folder and choose Restore Databases.
- I select the From device radio button as usual and click Add.
- I specify a .bck file as usual and click OK.
- When I return to the Restore Database dialog are two backup sets already in the "Select backup location to restore" part of the dialog that I unsuccessfully tried to restore earlier already there.
- I can see the path to the backup set that I want to add in the "From device" field of the "Restore Database" dialog. The backup is not listed in "Select backup location to restore" as it should be.
- I tried restarting the SQL Server service and I rebooted the server but the files were still there when I tried to do a restore.
- There is no option to remove the extra datasets in the "Select backup location to restore" part of the dialog. I am hoping that if I can remove the extra datasets that this will resolve the problem. Does anyone have any idea how to remove them?
Martin Mann

Hello,
My issue was a bit different then your screenshot. I was able to choose a backup dataset with no problem from the "Select backup devices" dialog as you show in the screenshot. At that time the "Restore Database" dialog box you show in the background had
no backup files, you show filetest1, filetest2. However after clicking the "Add" to files were listed in the "Restore Database" dialog neither of which was the one that I was trying to add. The problem was that the wrong files were listed in the "Restore Database"
dialog and I couldn't remove them.
The problem turned out to be two issues. I resolved the problem as follows:
It turned out that someone had compressed my server c:\ drive and I was not aware of it. Disk compression and SQL server have conflicts. As I had never compressed a drive I didn't know that Windows Explorer displays compressed files in blue letters. So the
first step was to decompress the drive. Which did not fix the problem.
What had caused the files to show up was that I had somehow created a backup with two data sets in it. It seems that when SQL Server creates a backup one of the first things it does is check the drive for the required space and create an empty backup file
the size of the backup to reserve the disk space. It seems that I had created a file that contained space for a backup but no data with another back with data behind it. When I looked at the backup file size in explorer it was almost twice the size it should
have been.
I resolved the problem by changing the path of the default backup folder. I was able to do a restore from there. Afterwords the default backup folder worked and the files listed were no longer there.
Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the help.

Thanks Lydia Zhang for your reference urls.
Please let me know if you come across any reference articles related to
Creating a SQL Server table and View with columns as SQL Server TVP similar to Oracle UDT like
CREATE TABLE "OE"."CUSTOMERS"
   (   "CUSTOMER_ID" NUMBER(6,0),
   "CUST_FIRST_NAME" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) CONSTRAINT "CUST_FNAME_NN" NOT NULL ENABLE,
   "CUST_LAST_NAME" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) CONSTRAINT "CUST_LNAME_NN" NOT NULL ENABLE,
   "CUST_ADDRESS" "OE"."CUST_ADDRESS_TYP" ,
   "PHONE_NUMBERS" "OE"."PHONE_LIST_TYP" ,
   "NLS_LANGUAGE" VARCHAR2(3 BYTE),
And also creating a SQL Server TVP inside an another SQL Server TVP as in Oracle
create or replace TYPE customer_typ
AS OBJECT
    ( customer_id        NUMBER(6)
    , cust_first_name    VARCHAR2(20)
    , cust_last_name     VARCHAR2(20)

Installation of ODI with SQL Server 2005

Hi
I am trying to install ODI with MS Sql Server 2005.
I created a database in Sql Server & created a user with db_owner rights for logging into the database.
While trying to install Master Repository, i selected Sql Server with following details
Driver: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
URL: jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<myhostname>:1433;SelectMethod=cursor
The repository does not get created giving error:
*com.sunopsis.core.q: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Parameter 1 (""): Data type 0x38 is unknown*
Now if i change the URL to jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<myhostname>:1433, the repository gets created successfully. But at the time of login into the topology manager using the same Master repository, it again prompts me the same error.
Has anyone faced the same issue?

Hi,
You are using SQL server 2005 but trying to connect using the SQL server 2000 connection details you should be using
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
jdbc:sqlserver://ServerName:1433;databaseName=DBNAME;SelectMethod=cursor
You will also need to make sure you are using the correct SQL server 2005 driver, if you are using a version of Java before 1.5 for ODI then you will need the SQL Server 2005 1.2 JDBC driver.
Cheers

Oracle to SQL Server DB Link (64-Bit)

Dear All,
We need to create a db link from Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.1 on 64-Bit Windows 2003) to SQL Server 2008 (on 64-Bit Windows 2008 R2). We followed the necessary steps on Testing Servers (Oracle 10gR2 and SQL Server 2005 both on 32-Bit Windows) using the following method:
Create ODBC on Oracle DB Server for SQL Server
Create inithsodbc.ora in <Oracle_Home>/hs/admin
modify TNSNAMES.ORA file to add TNS Alias for ODBC
Change SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES to NONE in SQLNET.ORA
Change listener.ora file to amend SID_LIST_<ListenerName> and reloaded the listener
Everything worked perfectly fine.
But when we followed the same steps on Production (64-Bit environments), we get the errors. Below are the contents of files:
*(1)*
inithsodbc.ora
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = testodbc
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = off
*(2)*
Listener.ora (partial contents)
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = hsodbc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
After reloading the listener, i can see:
Service "hsodbc" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "hsodbc", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service..
*(3)*
TNSNAMES.Ora (partial contents)
HSODBC =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <Server Name>)(PORT = <Port>))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = hsodbc)
(HS = OK)
*(4)*
SQLNET.Ora
#SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=180
*(5)*
SQL> create database link testdb connect to <UserName> identified by <Pwd> using 'hsodbc';
Database link created.

SELECT count(*) FROM <TableName>@testdb
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from TESTDB
Could you please help me in resolving this issue?
regards,

HSODBC was never ported to 64bit Linux - that's the reason why it doesn't work.
As an alternative you could use the follow up product of HSODBC called Database gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC). You can download DG4ODBC release 11.2 from OTN, edelivery or My Oracle Support and then install DG4ODBC into its OWN Oracle_home, different from your Oracle database (if you install DG4ODBC 11 into an existing 10.2 Oracle_Home you will corrupt this 10.2 OH!).
Configuration is similar to HSODBC - only the name of the executable in the SID section of the listener.ora differs (program=dg4odbc) instead of (program=hsodbc).
DG4ODBC is certified with Oracle database release 10.2.0.4/5 - so please make sure you apply also the mandatory database patchset to your Oracle database.

SQL Server TG Locking Issues

We are using Oracle Transparent Gateway 9.0.1.1.1 to connect an Oracle (Windows 2000) 9.1.7.4.0 database to a SQL Server 2000 SP2 database.
Using the TG, we have noticed that inserting/updating a SQL Server table locks the entire table so that nothing can be queried from the table until a commit/rollback. Inserting the same record from SQL Server creates a "page lock" but does not affect the entire table.
Anyone familiar with the locking rules or any parameters that affect the locking behavior?

Scott,
The gateway does not create any type of locks. Could you provide the sql statements in your session. Also take a look at the trace generated by the SQL Server profiler

Scripted installation of SQL Server 2014 Express

Hi,
We're trying to write a script that would automatically install a SQL Server Express 2014 (to simplify the deployment of an application).
We've managed to install the software, setup most of the things, but now we are stuck trying to enable the TCP-IP protocol for the named instance that we have created.
Here's the script we're using (took from MSDN):
Import-Module "sqlps" -DisableNamechecking
$smo = 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.'
$wmi = new-object ($smo + 'Wmi.ManagedComputer').
# List the object properties, including the instance names.
$Wmi
# Enable the TCP protocol on the default instance.
$uri = "ManagedComputer[@Name='JOHN-PC']/ ServerInstance[@Name='DEMO']/ServerProtocol[@Name='Tcp']"
$Tcp = $wmi.GetSmoObject($uri)
$Tcp.IsEnabled = $false
$Tcp.Alter()
$Tcp
The issue we have is that if we run it in a PowerShell (as administrator), the $Wmi object doesn't have the instances populated, therefore the script crashes at $wmi.GetSmoObject because the path is not correct.
If we run the script with SqlPS (omitting the Import-Module), it works correctly without any issue.
We would like to run the whole script through a "normal" PowerShell because the script we try to write installs SQL server, creates the instance, creates the DB and the structure, etc.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for the answer. I've tried again with loading the assemblies and the module, still no luck.
Here's what I tried with a freshly-started, in administrator, PowerShell (commands and results):
C:\Windows\system32> [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo")
GAC Version Location
True v2.0.50727 C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo\12.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91\Microsoft.SqlS.
C:\Windows\system32> [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlWmiManagement")
GAC Version Location
True v2.0.50727 C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlWmiManagement\12.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91\M.
C:\Windows\system32> Import-Module "SQLASCMDLETS" -DisableNamechecking
C:\Windows\system32> Import-Module "SQLPS" -DisableNamechecking
SQLSERVER:\> $wmi = new-object ('Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Wmi.ManagedComputer')
SQLSERVER:\> $wmi
ConnectionSettings : Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Wmi.WmiConnectionInfo
Services : {MSSQL$LSI, MSSQLSERVER, SQLAgent$LSI, SQLBrowser...}
ClientProtocols : {np, sm, tcp}
ServerInstances : {}
ServerAliases : {}
Urn : ManagedComputer[@Name='JOHN-PC']
Name : JOHN-PC
Properties : {}
UserData :
State : Existing
As you can see, the `ServerInstances` collection is empty, meaning that the GetSmoObject will fail because the path is invalid.
Now if I do the same in a SQL Server PowerShell (SQLPS.exe), here's the result:
SQLSERVER:\> $wmi = new-object ('Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Wmi.ManagedComputer')
SQLSERVER:\> $wmi
ConnectionSettings : Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Wmi.WmiConnectionInfo
Services : {MSSQL$LSI, MSSQLSERVER, SQLAgent$LSI, SQLBrowser...}
ClientProtocols : {np, sm, tcp}
ServerInstances : {DEMO, MSSQLSERVER}
ServerAliases : {}
Urn : ManagedComputer[@Name='JOHN-PC']
Name : JOHN-PC
Properties : {}
UserData :
State : Existing
Same computer, same everything and you can see that here we have 2 instances, one called DEMO (the one I created in the script earlier) and one called MSSQLSERVER.
I really don't get the reason behind that. We have a sort of workaround, calling SQLPS with the -Command parameter from the standard PowerShell, but it would be better if we could do it directly into the main script.
Edit:
As you asked, I also tried to do a `Get-Module --ListAvailable` just to make sure the module were indeed present.
