SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse Appliance - Cross-domain Watcher node

Hi,
Is it supported to have the PDW appliance in one domain and the watcher node in a different domain?
If so, is a domain trust required or can certificates be used?
Thanks!

Thanks for the response Mai, but it does not answer my question.
I had already read the MP guide for System Center Monitoring Pack for SQL Server 2012 Parallel Data Warehouse Appliance before asking the question.
The guide identifies that all monitoring of the SQL PDW appliance is performed from a dedicated server that acts as a "watcher node". What the guide does not indicate is whether the watcher node must be in the same domain as the SCOM management
servers or if it can be located across an untrusted boundary.
In my case, the untrusted domain that requires monitoring includes the PDW appliance which has already been deployed and I plan to leverage a new SCOM gateway to simply the configuration, minimize the number of required certificates, firewall exceptions,
etc as other servers also require monitoring.
I want to locate the watcher node within the untrusted boundary and need to determine if this is a Microsoft-supported configuration or not.
Is there a more appropriate forum for this question, please?
Much thanks!

SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) Licensing

Hi All,
We have a customer that's interested in SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse
(PDW). I'm told this is an appliance sold by a manufacturer like Dell or HP. But
I also see Licensing price on the EA price list.
Can they also purchase PDW under a VL Agreement?
Regards,
DSarao

Yes. Microsoft sells PDW as an appliance with a software and hardware purchase. Note that the PDW requires both the software and hardware purchase.

Using SQLCMD need to SET NOCOUNT OFF for Sql Server Parallel Data warehouse (PDW) V2

Using SQLCMD to copy data to a flat file that is imported into Oracle using SQL Loader.
At the bottom of the files created by SQLCMD there’s a blank row (ALL NULLs) and then there’s a row that shows the total number of rows, e.g., (12571 rows affected).
SQL Loader allows us to remove headers (SKIP = 2), but it does not allow us to skip trailing records. Using the WHEN TABLE_ID != BLANKS command I can remove the blank row above the count marker, but SQLLDR still tries to load the count marker into the first
column, which fails the import.
When using SET NOCOUNT in the PDW I receive the error ‘NoCount is not a recognized option’.
Any suggestions on how to get around this and remove the trailing count?

Hi Waldropj,
Thank you for your question. I am trying to involve someone more familiar with this topic for a further look at this issue. Sometime delay might be expected from the job transferring. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

Connect to MS SQL Server 2000 data warehouse

Hi,
I use a MS SQL Server 2000 database for my web application where I use JSP. I suppose to create data warehouse using MS SQL Server's Data Transformation Service. But I don't know it's possible to connect to a MS SQL Server's data warehouse using JSP. So I want to know is it possible to connect to data warehouse using JSP and if it is how to do it? Thank you.

You can certainly connect to M$ SQL Server using the JDBC driver:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4f8f2f01-1ed7-4c4d-8f7b-3d47969e66ae&displaylang=en
Connecting to a data warehouse is no different from any relational database. (My understanding is that a data warehouse usually means a star schema implemented in a relational database.) This will connect you.
If you're not familiar with JDBC, you might need the tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/

SQL Server PDW(Parallel Data Warehouse)

Dear,
There are several features which are unsupported at SQL Server PDW(Parallel Data Warehouse) version.
Such as
UDF(User Defined Function) / Extended Stored Procedure, CLR / Cursor / Trigger /
@@SPID, @@SNAME_SUSER so on.
I'm wondering when these features will be supported.
Would you let me know approximate target date or road map?
Thanks, Jungwon

As far as I can tell , these features do not exist because the appliance purpose is to limit any components that can introduce a chance of performance degradation such as CLR and extended stored procedures beside also focusing on the core features for now.
The word in the street is you have have your own CLR code in a business layer while PDW is for mass data analytics.
for something like @@SPID , you should use the management web console & DMVs where they provides more rich information

Local Storage in SQL Server 2012 (Fast Track Appliance)

Hello,
Before procuring the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Fast Track Appliance, we require additional information to satisfy the requirements from our infrastructure staff. What type of data is stored in the local storage? It seems that the local storage
may be used for computations functionality only (temporary tables etc?); therefore, the only system backups that we may need to perform are for the main server and spare server which also contains all computation nodes (each SQL Server 2012 instance running
on virtual machines?). In fact, we probably don’t need any backups since the spare server provides a fail-over mechanism and allows for our engineers to “repair” any issues on the problem server? Also, If all of our data is already on a separate system
outside of this data warehouse and can simply be exported back to the PDW system, then perhaps we don’t require backups? We simply use this data warehouse for analysis of the data (query and reporting). The data collection and maintenance are permanently
stored on a separate system.
One last question, if required – could we remove the local storage and replace it with our enterprise SANs? – likely a performance hit; however, may still be better than having to integrate separate hardware components to try to replicate the fast track
appliance and attempt to tune for performance. Our infrastructure policy requires the use of enterprise SANs and reduction in local storage (possibly from new data center consolidation policies).
Thank you for helping us to decide quickly and purchase this Fast Track Appliance expeditiously to meet our rapidly approaching deadline. I have been unable to find answers to these questions from Microsoft pre-sales and tech support staff (without
a support contract).
Thank you,
Vinh
703-727-5377

Hello,
Thank you for the question.
If the data in the local storage can be extracted from the PDW again, we don't need to backup them.
As for the storage replacement, technically speaking, you can replace the local storage with the different SANs. However, if you do so, you will lead the system to a nonsupport scenario.
Please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh918452.aspx for further information.

Adding racks/nodes to parallel data warehouse v2

Hi,
Wondering what the mechanism is for redistributing data among nodes when you add a rack to PDW V2. Recall the way mentioned to do it was backup and restore in V1 and didn't see anything new discussed on the topic at pass 2012. Thanks.

Writing a stored procedure to import SQL Server table data into a Oracle table

Hello,
As a new DBA I have been tasked with writing a stored procedure to import SQL Server table data into an Oracle table. I have been given many suggestions on how to do it from SQL Server but I I just need to write a stored procedure to run it from the Oracle side. Suggestions/guidance on where to start would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I started to write it based on what I have but I know this is not correct :/
# Here is the select statement for the data source in SQL Server...
SELECT COMPANY
,CUSTOMER
,TRANS_TYPE
,INVOICE
,TRANS_DATE
,STATUS
,TRAN_AMT
,CREDIT_AMT
,APPLD_AMT
,ADJ_AMT
,TRANS_USER1
,PROCESS_LEVEL
,DESCRIPTION
,DUE_DATE
,OUR_DATE
,OUR_TIME
,PROCESS_FLAG
,ERROR_DESCRIPTION
FROM data_source_table_name
#It loads data into the table in Oracle....
Insert into oracle_destination_table_name (
COMPANY,
CUSTOMER,
TRANS_TYPE,
INVOICE,
TRANS_DATE,
STATUS,
TRANS_AMT,
CREDIT_AMT,
APPLD_AMT,
ADJ_AMT,
TRANS_USER1,
PROCESS_LEVEL,
DESCRIPTION,
DUE_DATE,
OUR_DATE,
OUR_TIME,
PROCESS_FLAG,
ERROR_DESCRIPTION)
END;

CREATE TABLE statements would have been better as MS-SQL and Oracle don't have the same data types.
OUR_DATE, OUR_TIME will (most likely) be ONE column in Oracle.
DATABASE LINK
Personally, I'd just load the data over a database link:
insert into oracle_destination_table_name ( <column list> )
select ... <transform data here>
from data_source_table@mssql_db_link
As far as creating the database link from Oracle to MS-SQL ... that is for somebody else to answer.
(most likely you'll need to use an ODBC driver)
EXTERNAL TABLE
If the data from MS-SQL is in a CSV file, just use and external table.
same concept:
insert into oracle_destination_table_name ( <column list> )
select ... <transform data here>
from data_source_external_table

How to migrate MS SQL Server OLAP data to Oracle 10g OLAP

Hi,
Anyone has any idea on whether migration workbench can migrate my MS SQL Server OLAP data to Oracle 10g (with OLAP option) ?
Best Regards,
Ian Ho

Ian,
What exactly do you mean by SQL*Server OLAP ? Is it just a 'normal' SQL*Server database which is used for an OLAP application ?
The migration workbench migrates schema objects, triggers, and stored procedures and is not concerned with the application that uses those objects.
And the same with the Oracle OLAP database. Once the data etc has been moved into the database you can then use it for whichever application you want.
If you have concerns apart from moving the actual data then please give us more details.
Regards,
Mike

Get SQL Server default data path via ADO/C++?

Hi,
I am trying to get the SQL Server default data path via ADO/Visual C++.
I find the SQL statements that will do that in
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1883071/how-do-i-find-the-data-directory-for-a-sql-server-instance/12756990#12756990
So I just concat all the statements above into a CString object strStatements, then try to open a recordset as follows:
_RecordsetPtr m_pRecordset;
m_pRecordset.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Recordset));
m_pRecordset->Open(_bstrt(strStatements), _variant_t((IDispath *)m_pConnection, true), adOpenDymanic, adLockOptimistic, 0);
m_pRecordset->MoveFirst();
The last MoveFirst statement will cause com_error, which said
“ADODB.Recordset error '800a0e78'
Operation is not allowed when the object is closed.
It seems that there are no data in the recordset at all. What is the problem?
Thanks

Hello,
Which query statement did you used to get the database data and log file path? Can you get the result by run the query directly with SQL Server Management Studio? For example,
SELECT SUBSTRING(physical_name, 1, CHARINDEX(N'master.mdf', LOWER(physical_name)) - 1)
FROM master.sys.master_files
WHERE database_id = 1 AND file_id = 1

SQL Server 2012's Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) Optional Add-on?

Hi, I work for the State of Illinois and though we have progressive IT shop, we tend to be a bit behind the curve. We are still using SQL Server 2005 for all our data needs and have been planning to move to 2012 for the past two years (may actually
occur soon, even though I have been trying to influence our department to just go straight to the new SQL Server 2014). Because I was selected to work in our new Data Warehouse team, I have a keen interest in learning what I can about the PDW.
However, I suspect that just because we are moving up to 2012 does not mean that any PDW licensing will automatically be included, or does it? Can someone point me to an article on PDW licensing (I have seen something hinting at more than one
level of PDW licensing)?

Hi Ron. PDW is a scale-out SQL Server data warehouse workload on the Microsoft Analytics Platform System appliance. You can learn more about APS here (http://www.microsoft.com/aps). As for the licensing, PDW is licensed separately from SQL Server 2012/2014.

Problem: load SQL Server 'varbinary' data

Source database: SQL Server 2000
OS: Windows 2003 (SP1)
Oracle: 10g (R2)
Datatype Mapping: SQL Server ‘varbinary(1000)’ to oracle ‘BLOB’
With the help of OMWB, I created the oracle database schema for a SQL Server DB (offline capture). I have problems when I tried to populate the (destination) database with a table with ‘varbinary(1000)’ datatype:
PlateX.expID (as on http://www.sdss.org.uk/mybestdr5/en/help/browser/description.asp?n=PlateX&t=U) and the with original data is like this: http://dsg.port.ac.uk/~hx/research/sdss/logs/SelectExpidFromPlatex
The PLATEX.ctl file (generated by OMWB) is like this (http://dsg.port.ac.uk/~hx/research/sdss/logs/PLATEX.ctl):
load data
infile 'PLATEX.dat' "str '<er>'"
into table PLATEX
fields terminated by '<ec>'
trailing nullcols
<SKIP>
EXPID)
I failed to load the data with the sql_load_script.sh script, and the log file is like this:
<SKIP>
EXPID NEXT * CHARACTER
Terminator string : '<ec>'
value used for ROWS parameter changed from 64 to 12
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table PLATEX, column EXPID.
Field in data file exceeds maximum length
<SKIP>
Record 60: Rejected - Error on table PLATEX, column EXPID.
Field in data file exceeds maximum length
MAXIMUM ERROR COUNT EXCEEDED - Above statistics reflect partial run.
Table PLATEX:
9 Rows successfully loaded.
51 Rows not loaded due to data errors.
0 Rows not loaded because all WHEN clauses were failed.
0 Rows not loaded because all fields were null.
Space allocated for bind array: 238392 bytes(12 rows)
Read buffer bytes: 1048576
Total logical records skipped: 0
Total logical records read: 60
Total logical records rejected: 51
Total logical records discarded: 0
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Helen
P.S. previously, I mapped: SQL Server ‘varbinary(1000)’ to ‘RAW(1000)’ in Oracle but failed to populate the data (http://dsg.port.ac.uk/~hx/research/sdss/logs/PLATEX.log).

Hi Emile,
regading extracting data from MSSQL with OWB on Unix platform (using Generic Connectivity):
Re: SQLServer access from AIX Warehouse builder
Re: OWB on Solaris Connectivity with SQL SERVER on Windows
We want to load aprox. 100 million records a day.
I've read some articles about this and the advise was to dump the data from SQL Server to files and load the files with OWB.100 million records per day is not a problem for daily extracting from MSSQL Server if you have 1-2 hour.
In my opinion dumping to text file is a bad practice and is unnecessary if customer don't have special requirements (for example for security reason).
SQL Server source table and a Oracle target table without any difficult transformationsIn my opninion the best way process data from MSSQL is to extract data to staging area (schema) on Oracle DB with mappings as simple as possible (ONLY filters, without any join), and most of data processing prefom in Staging area or during moving from staging to DWH.
Also look at OWB user guide (how to use Generic Connectivity in OWB)

SQL Server 2005 data pull from Oracle

Hi, I am learning how to use Oracle and I ran into this problem.
My database is running on SQL Server 2005.
I have an ODBC connection to Oracle. I also have a VB .Net script that queries the Oracle table that the data resides in.
When the job is running, and if it stalls, I do not get a timeout error. It locks down my database and no other source systems can feed data to me; these are back logged in the queue.
Is there an easier way for me to make a connection that will pull data on a consistent basis? Please help ...
Student Learner

Learning how to use Oracle does not include taking data from Oracle and putting it into SQL Server.
From your description of what is happening I agree with BluShadow. This is not an Oracle issue. This is a coding in VB .NET issue.
Posting the statements you are executing against some unknown version of Oracle would be a good starting point.

PerformancePoint in Sharepoint 2010 and SQL Server 2012 data source

Hi,
I have a problem on creating PerformancePoint reports in Sharepoint 2010 based on SQL Server 2012 source data.
I try to create a data source in PerformancePoint dashboard designer, I choose Analysis Services, and I get a following error:
"The data source cannot be used because PerformancePoint Services is not
configured correctly...."
I think it is due to a version of a ADOMD.NET component that needs to be installed, but I am not sure which version is necessary? Could you help
me with that?
Of course, if there are any other prerequisites, please, tell me.
Regards,
Srdjan Nikitovic

Did you set unattended service account for your PPS?
