SQL Server Mail Issue in 2012

Hi
I configured in SQL Server Database Mail Option in SQL Server 2012 using Gmail SMTP with all correct parameters but when i sending the mail i got the below error message
broker is also enabled in msdb database.
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 3 (2014-06-24T16:51:23). Exception Message: Could not connect to mail server. (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly
respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 74.125.25.108:587).)
pls do the need ful
Here i attached mail conf wizard

Hey ragu,
See the first film of a long TRAINSIGNAL quite comprehensively explains the use and settings of the mail server, but it illustrates not GMAIL service.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAlD8Bzbtcs
The second film explains how to configure GMAIL account (a port set, what server address, and the like) is only relevant for GMAIL account.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j69e3mTJF0k
If you go to the movies can also rule out any important issues such as whether the service works, misconfiguration, etc. .. and you can learn more about the subject.
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue

Required info on SQL Server Performance Issue Analysis and Troubleshoot way

Dear All,
I am going to prepare the simple documentation steps on SQL Server Performance Issue Analysis and troubleshoot method. I am struggling to make this documentation since we have different checklist (like network latency,disk latency, memory/processor pressure,SQL
query tuning etc) to validate once application performance issue reported from the customer.So, I am looking for the experts document or link sharing .
Your input will help for document preparation in better way.
Thanks in advance.

SQL Server Connection Issue

I've tried going through the steps to resolve the issue, but I am still coming up blank. The part that I am not understanding is the, "A non-recoverable error occurred during a database lookup." part.
Is this a security problem? I can establish an ODBC connection to the server as well as connect and query through visual studio, however when trying to run it through one of our custom programs, it throws this error message.
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:
TCP Provider, error: 0 - A non-recoverable error occurred during a database lookup.)

There are many reasons of SQL server connectivity issue. Refer checklist to find out the real cause of connectivity issue.
1. Check SQL services are running
2. Check SQL Browser service is running
3. Check remote connections are enabled
4. Network connectivity between database & application servers by TRACERT command
5. Check TCP/IP protocol enabled at SQL server
6. Check talent connectivity – telnet <IP address> <port no on SQL server running>
7. Check UDP port 1434 is open or not on SQL Server
8. Check firewall is running or not Check
9. If firewall running, SQL Server & UDP port must be added in exception in firewall
10. Run SQL Discovery report on machine SQL server installed, to check you are using correct instance name to connect( default \named) -http://mssqlfun.com/2013/02/26/sql-server-discovery-report/

Hello,
Your output you posted does not makes sense or may be I am not able to understand it..If you want through analysis I need following from you
1.
select
(physical_memory_in_use_kb/1024)Memory_usedby_Sqlserver_MB,
(locked_page_allocations_kb/1024 )Locked_pages_used_Sqlserver_MB,
(total_virtual_address_space_kb/1024 )Total_VAS_in_MB,
process_physical_memory_low,
process_virtual_memory_low
from sys. dm_os_process_memory
2 What is reason for keeping Max server memory and Min server mmory almost equal. 55 G is MAX and 45 G is min.
3. Does SQL server account has locked pages in memory privilege ?
4. Did you see any out of memory error ?
5 Please post output of DBCC MEMORYSTATUS and SP_readerrorlog on skydrive and post location here.
PS: SQL server utilizing memory is normal behavior ,what you posted does not exactly points to memory pressure and what seems to me cause here is poorly written queries running.

Upgrading SQL Server from 2008 to 2012 doesn't respect existing install / instance paths

Basic Information : Running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 with MS SQL Server 2008 (version 10.0.5869), trying to upgrade to SQL Server 2012. Currently working in a cloned
VM of our production server (so I can try things and not worry about affecting our production system).
Current server setup:
C Drive: Operating System (About 7 GB of 50 GB free)
J Drive: Program Files (About 65 GB of 78 GB free)
F Drive: SQL Databases (About 120 GB of 195 GB free)
Issue: I am trying to do an upgrade of our existing MS SQL Server 2008 install. I am using the GUI method, and choosing "Upgrade from SQL Server, 2005, SQL Server
2008, or SQL Server 2008 R2" in the Setup GUI:
All the checks & rules run with no issues. When I get to the "Instance Configuration" screen in the setup GUI, it is not respecting where my SQL Server instance is already installed (which is on the J drive). Instead it wants to install EVERYTHING
(including Instance Directory, which should be on the F drive, and the install folder, which should be on the J drive) on the C drive under C:\Program Files\ and there is no option in the GUI to change that, as it's grayed out.
I tried using a Configuration File to do the upgrade, but when I tried to specify the specific paths, it says those variables are not allowed to be used in an upgrade. If I allow the install to go through, it seems to install fine, but only leaves me with about
1.5 GB free on the OS drive (Drive C) and all of SQL Server is now installed on Drive C, which is not what I want or need.
Looking in the Registry Editor, I can see that under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
SQL Server\MSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\ that the SqlProgramDir key
has changed from "F:\" to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\" and that the SQLPath and SQLDataRoot have
changed from "F:\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL" to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL". SQLBinRoot has
also been changed "F:\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn" to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn".
It doesn't seem to want to follow where the existing Install and Instance Directories are. Am I missing something here? I've done a decent amount of research, but can't find anything that talks about this. So I'm at a loss as to what to do from here.

I haven't touched the registry. Here is the ConfigurationFile.ini from the original install (I've scrubbed sensitive info out of it) showing the paths:

Hi bestrongself,
According to your error message, we need to verify if you configure SQL Server Database Mail to send email successfully by using your Windows Live Mail account or your mail account. If yes, then you choose use database mail to send a job fail error message
or others. We need to verify if your job owner account which used does have permissions. Check the job owner and the user being for the Agent service has SQL Server admin rights. Add the dbo_owner role to the Job Owner via SQL Server Management Studio.
There is an similar error about data jobs fail message, you can review the following article.
https://support.software.dell.com/capacity-manager-for-sql-server/kb/51365
There is an example configuring SQL Server Database Mail to send email, you can review the following blog.

Sql Server Connection Issues

After reinstalling Windows Server 2008 R2 EE my SQL 2008 R2 Sp2 Instances have some connection issues.
The server were installed under the same hostname, but he got a new sid in my active directory.
On the server there one DB Engine MSSQLSERVER, two named Reporting Services for MS crm 4.0 and SCOM and one Analysis Services Instance.
The DB Engine will collect Data from another DB, before writing to Analysis Services.
Here are the problems on the server:
When I connect via SSMS remotly, I sometimes get this error: Failed to connect to server <hostname> ... Named Pipes Provider, error 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server - Error 5
Both RS Instances have many event log errors like "Report Server (Instance) cannot connect to the report server database.". RS Reports are working fine, but sometimes the rendering is taking a long
time.
The DB Engine Agent Job to collect Data sometimes throw the following error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult:
0x80004005 Description: "Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection". End Error Error: 2013-12-10 06:03:40.41 Code: 0xC00291EC
User use Excel to connect to the Cube on my server. Often they got timeout errors. When they connect again it will work.
Are there any solutons on this?
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
The server were installed under the same hostname, but he got a new sid in my active directory.
Did you connect to SQL Server instance with Windows authentication? Since the SID of domain account is changed, the SQL Server instace may cannot verify the login account which stored in the master with old SID. In that case, please try to connect
SQL Server with SQL authentication and then readd the domian as login the instance.

OraOledb for 64-bit, Linked Servers and SQL Server 2005 issues

Our environment is : SQL Server 2005, Windows Server 2003, 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems.
Problem on 64-bit operating system box: (32-bit works fine).
I am trying to access Oracle 10g database using linked server from our SQL Server 2005. In case of number fileds i got the following error:
Invalid data for type "numeric".
After going through one of the posting in this forumn i was able to resolve the problem by converting those column values to char while querying and then converting them back to numeric type on SQL server side.
But today i ran into another problem. There is a VARCHAR2 column. I was able to retrieve the data yesterday for that column but today i am getting a blank recordset. If i exclude the colum from the query then i am getting all the rows.
I am querying against a view and it has got a number of columns whose data type is VARCHAR2.
Again the problem is on 64-bit operating system only. We have a 32-bit operating system on which i am able to retrieve the data including this column. I looked at the data and everything looks OK. No funny characters etc.
I tried workarounds like using cast, to_char, checking for nulls etc., Nothing works.
Any help is greately appreciated. Thanks.

Did you find a resolution for this? We have similar problem. Set up a linked server in SQL 2006 to Oracle (running on Windows 64-bit) Linked server works and views I had set up were working but they added some new data in the Oracle test database I am using and now I get errors on one of the views.
Error I am getting on the view is "Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB Provider "OraOLDEDB.ORacle" for the linked server"
If I fine tune my queries to find the specific table or view that is at issue, then I get the error "inconsistent metadata for a column"

Database Adapter and SQL Server procedure issue

Hello,
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.7.0 and SQL Server 2005.
In the Database Adapter configuration wizard, Specify Stored Procedure step, I choose the “GEACupax” schema and got the following error after a click on “Procedure Browse” button:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Invalid object name 'GEACUPAX.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA'.
The command Database Adapter tried to execute was:
(from jdev log:) select schema_name from GEACUPAX.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA order by schema_name;
Note, the schema name has changed to uppercase. I think that is the problem. If I try this query in SQLDeveloper, it returns the same error. I can fix it changing the schema name to “GEACupax”. The case matters.
Any ideas?
Leandro.

Vijay,
Thanks for you reply.
I figure out a related bug:
Bug 12859472: Cannot browse store procedure in case-sensitive MS SQL Database
There are two possible workarounds:
1. Use a database name with capital letters
2. Do not use stored procedures, but access the tables directly.
The notes on the Bug ticket describes that the issue would be scheduled to be fixed in PS7 which is 11.1.1.8.
Cheers!
Leandro.

SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) 2012 High Availability Solution in Azure VM

I have been testing an AlwaysOn high availability failover solution in SQL Server Enterprise on an Azure VM, and this works pretty well as a failover for SQL Server Databases, but I also need a high availability solution for SQL Server
Analysis Server, and so far I haven't found a way to do this. I can load balance it between two machines, but this isn't working as a failover and because of the restriction of not being able to use shared storage in a Failover Cluster in Azure
VM's, I can't set it up as a cluster which is required for AlwaysOn in Analysis Services.
Anyone else found a solution to use an AlwaysOn High Availability for SQL Analysis Services in Azure VM? As my databases are read-only, I would be satisfied with even just a solution that would sync the OLAP databases and switch
the data connection to the same server as the SQL databases.
Thanks!
Bill

Bill,
So, what you need is a model like SQL Server failover cluster instances. (before sql server 2012)
In SQL Server 2012, AlwaysOn replaces SQL Server failover cluster, and it has been seperated to
AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (SQL Server) and
AlwaysOn Availability Groups (SQL Server).
Since your requirement is not in database level, I think the best option is to use AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (SQL Server).
As part of the SQL Server AlwaysOn offering, AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances leverages Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) functionality to provide local high availability through redundancy at the server-instance level—a
failover cluster instance (FCI). An FCI is a single instance of SQL Server that is installed across Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) nodes and, possibly, across multiple subnets. On the network, an FCI appears to be an instance of SQL
Server running on a single computer, but the FCI provides failover from one WSFC node to another if the current node becomes unavailable.
It is similar to SQL Server failover cluster in SQL 2008 R2 and before.
Please refer to these references:
Failover Clustering in Analysis Services

OraOledb, Linked Servers and SQL Server 2005 issues

Some issues I've come across when using SQL Server 2005 (and SQL Server Express 2005), the OraOLEDB provider (10.2.0.1) and a linked Oracle database (8.1.7.4.0 64-bit)
1) You must set the OraOledb.Oracle\AllowInProcess value to 1 to allow the OraOledb provider to run in SQL Server's process. Without doing this I receive an 'unspecified error' from the OLE DB provider when attempting to run a query
2) When running a ' select * ' query across a linked server using the provider, I receive the following error: Msg 9803, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid data for type "numeric". I can, however, select all of the columns by name and the query completes (no error). Sometimes the 'select *' query returns a few rows before the error, sometimes it doesn't. The Microsoft Provider for Oracle does not have this problem

Okay... I've got a Win2K3 Std Ed server (x64) running 64-bit SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. I've installed the Oracle 10g 10.2.1 full client and admin tools, added two named services via the NetConfig assistant, and successfully set up (and tested) a connection via the ODBC Administrator to an Oracle database.
Now... when I try to create a new connection manager in SQL Server 2005 Integration Services, the OLEDB provider for Oracle can't be found, and when I try to manually add an underlying OLEDB connection to the database, SQL Server reports:
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. The 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' provider is not registered on the local machine.
Does anyone know what I need to do to see my ODBC Server data connections in SQL Server 2005 (64 bit)? I don't have this issue on my 32-bit SQL Server 2005 servers.

I want to report this to Microsoft, where it can be addressed and corrected in the upcoming Service packs.
This is something critical.. (that's what at least....I feel).
Please let me know the link/Forum where I can post this.

SQL server Timeout issue in data insertion

We are loading data from DB2 database to SQL server using Data flow task. During data insertion in SQL server, we are receiving the below error.
"An exception has occurred during data insertion, the message returned from the provider is: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
Kindly help to resolve this issue.
Thanks!!!

Check the connection timeout property of the source connection.
