SQL Server roles for migration

What specific SQL Server roles must be granted to the user connecting from Oracle SQL Developer in order to perform a migration? The SQL Developer Users Guide only says "This user must have DBA access to the Microsoft SQL Server database". I work in an extremely large environment with many separate DBA groups who are reluctant to grant the sysadmin role to anyone not in their group. I want to make sure I ask for all the necessary permissions at the same time so I only have to go through this fight once.
Thanks
Ron

Hi Ron,
Thats wrong. When we put together the SQL Developer Migration Workbench. One of the main things that we thought about was your exact situation.
Today, we dont need SA/dba privs to capture a database, or any specific roles. We capture what we can see from the system tables. So, if you have access to object (like executing a sp) but dont have privs to see the source, then we cant capture it. Like wise with all other objects too.
So, connect to your database, capture it and convert it, but always be aware of the role you are doing it as. You will only get what that user can see.

  • Is Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.

    All I want to know is if Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.
    I have been planning and deploying my companies first Windows Server 2012/SQL Server 2012 Always On cluster and Always On Availability Groups Multi-Subnet cluster and instances for SharePoint 2013, and I will be brutally honest, the documentation on either
    the MSDN and TechNet leave alot to be desired. Continually finding links in the documentation will take me from a Windows 2012 reference to a page talking about Windows Server 2008 or R2, The differences of which there are so many when it comes to configurations,
    settings, roles, services when working with SQL Server 2012. I have been confused, frustrated, screaming mad, with all the misdirection in this documentation.  The documentation takes me windows 2008 R2 which is different than 2012!
    Tired and trying to pick myself up off the floor!

    In general, DTC is not required for SQL 2012.  But, since you are asking specifically about SharePoint, it would be better to ask in a SharePoint forum.  They would be more likely to know those situations where FTC might be needed by SharePoint.

  • SQL server requirement for sharepoint 2013

    Hello All,
    currently i have installed SharePoint2013 in server farm mode, and i have used SQL Server 2008 R2 for DB. Can i use SQL Server 2012 for SharePoint 2013?
    Thanks

    SharePoint 2013 is compatible with SQL 2008 R2 and SQL 2012 so yes.
    What you can do is "move" the SharePoint DBs from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2012 without restore or backup.
    Link to msdn: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512725(v=office.15).aspx
    Here you have an example for SharePoint 2010 (is the same for SharePoint 2013): http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/664029/Migrate-SharePoint-s-SQL-Server-to-another-SQL-Ser

  • Is it possible to assign an AD User to SQL Server Login with a defined set of SQL Server Roles?

    A customer asked me if its possible to define in the Active Directory, the SQL Server Roles that should be automatically assigned to a sql server Login that is mapped to a Windows Account.
    In short, his idea is:
    - he creates in the Active Directory a User Group that "knows" about the SQL Server "SecutityAdmin" role
    - some Windows Windows Accounts are Member of this AD Group
    - if one of this Windows Domain Account is mapped to a SQL Server Login "CREATE LOGIN [<domainName>\<login_name>] FROM WINDOWS;" the created SQL Server Login will automatically be a Member of the SQL Server SecurityAdmin.
    Do you know if its possible to configure the AD / SQL Server in this manner?
    I invested some time searching through SQL Server Onlinehelp and AD Documentation. Found nothing. Dont even know if its fiction or a realistic wish.
    Any help, hint, adivce is really appreciated.
    Best Regards
    Paolo

    Yes, you can create an AD Group named "SQLSecurityAdmins", assign a login in SQL Server to this group and grant SecurityAdmin role to it (exec sp_addsrvrolemember).

    Hi Bodo
    Thank you very much for your reply. Dont know if i got it right.
    I create the AD Group "SQLSecurityAdmin", assign it to SQL Server Login and manually add the SQL Server Login as a Member of the SQL Server "SecurityAdmin" Role.
    Now i have a new AD User "NewUser", make him a member of the AD Group "SQLSecurityAdmin". Then i execute "CREATE LOGIN [DomainName\NewUser] FROM WINDOWS;". Is now the new SQL Login Mapped to the Windows Account "DomainName\NewUser" automatically member of
    the SQL Server SecurityAdmin Group?

  • Where to install SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint?

    The environment is SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server 2012 SP2 Enterprise Edition.  
    SQL Server 2012 SP2 Enterprise Edition is installed as default instance on a dedicated box.   All the features are selected in the Feature Selection windows during installation (see image).
    Now, I need to install SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint.   Should it be installed on the same dedicated box?  If I understand correctly, I need to select the SQL Server PowerPivot for SharepPoint option and uncheck
    the checkbox Add SQL Server Database Relational Engine Services to this installation.   Does this option also install SSAS?  Since there is already an existing SSAS, will that cause problem?

    Hi PcSQL66,
    To install SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint, you need to select SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint
    on the Setup Role page. Please refer to the screenshot below.
    And if you have a SSAS instance installed in your server, install SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint will install another SSAS instance.
    For the detail information, please refer to the link below.

  • SharePoint 2013 SQL Server Edition for BI Features - must be on SharePoint SQL Server?

    I need to install SQL Server 2012 for a new SharePoint 2013 installation.
    Let's say I want to use the BI features of SharePoint 2013 like PowerView.
    I already have a separate SQL Server running SQL Server 2012 BI Edition that is used as the database server for our data warehouse and some apps.  But this SQL Server will not be used to house the SharePoint 2013 databases.
    Do I need to install SQL Server 2013 BI Edition on the SharePoint 2013 SQL Server (where the SharePoint 2013 databases will be housed) or can I used SQL Server 2013 Standard Edition on that server and utilize the BI Edition on the data warehouse server to
    use the BI features of SharePoint?

    Yes, BI or Enterprise must be installed on the SharePoint server in order to integrate SSRS. PowerPivot can be on a separate server with just a download (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35577) for certain components residing on
    the SharePoint server. This will give you PowerView, as well.

  • SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint

    We already have SQL Server 2012 standard edition installed with SharePoint 2013. We then upgraded SQL Server 2012 to the Endterprise Edition. Now we want to install Powerpivot and we did but it looks like we did or could not previously check the box on

  • Required Microsoft Sql Server 2005 Server Roles for JDBC Connection

    Hi!
    I have developed a database in MS SQL Server 2005, to which I would require only bulkadmin server role from an external java application, because I only need to update rows, insert values or use select queries in the database.
    The problem is that, using either the Microsoft JDBC Driver 1.1 or the Java JDBC ODBC Driver and the Windows XP Data Base (ODBC) configurations, I need a user with sysadmin server role inside Sql Server, otherwise JDBC won't connect to the database using the selected user. Even if I leave the sql login with setupadmin or any server role lower than sysadmin, the connection is refused.
    Is there no way to connect using JDBC to MS Sql Server 2005 other than granting the connected user sysadmin rights? My code looks as follows:
    String driver = "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver";
    String url = "jdbc:sqlserver://FIREBLADE\\SQLEXPRESS";
    String user = "username";
    String password = "password$$";
    Connection conn;
    Class.forName(driver);
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,password);
    if (conn != null)
    System.out.println("\nSQL Server Connection established ...\n");
    I have heard that Java JDBC connections to Microsoft require high-level access, and if that's the case I would rather migrate my database to MySql.
    Any informed answer is more than welcome. Thanks for reading my post!

    Well i personally prefer usage of open source MS SQL SERVER 2k jdbc driver called jtds instead of the driver provided by MS themselves(which is proproteriry) as i had similar problem which i personally encountered when i was using it.
    go through the below link for further info.

  • Permission denied when creating database in Sql Server 2008 for SQLExpress

    I'm getting an permission error while restoring the database. I'm using SQL Server 2008 SQLEXPRESS
    I'm able to create the user using this script " CREATE LOGIN [darth\vader] FROM WINDOWS;
    GO;"
    But when I try to give role to the user it's still give me permission error.. SP_ADDSRVROLEMEMBER ‘darth\vader’, ‘sysadmin’
    Can someone guide me how to resolve this issue?

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186858.aspx
    Permissions
    If the database being restored does not exist, the user must have CREATE DATABASE permissions to be able to execute RESTORE. If the database exists, RESTORE permissions default to members of the sysadmin and dbcreator fixed
    server roles and the owner (dbo) of the database (for the FROM DATABASE_SNAPSHOT option, the database always exists).
    RESTORE permissions are given to roles in which membership information is always readily available to the server. Because fixed database role membership can be checked only when the database is accessible and undamaged, which is not always the case when RESTORE
    is executed, members of the db_ownerfixed database role do not have RESTORE permissions.

  • SCOM 2012 Installation does not show the SQL Server Instance for reporting services

    I have an issue when I try to install SCOM 2012 with the Reporting Server feature, so in the step that I have to select a SQL Server Instance I cannot do that, because as you can see in the picture no one option appears.
    In my scenario I have a DCSERVER, SQLSERVER2008 R2, SCCMSERVER 2012 and in other server I are trying to install SCOM 2012. I are trying to use the same SQLSERVER to SCOM 2012.
    Should I do other procedure on SQL Server before to continue? I will apreciate someone could say me what I need to do to resolve this issue.
    Regards,
    Paul Mendoza.

    Hi Paul
    Can you confirm that SQL Reporting Services is installed on the server that you are doing the install.
    For a lab environment where you have SCOM Management Server, Web Server on one server and SQL Server on another you need to:
    - run setup on the SCOM Server and choose NOT to install reporting. The install here will create the OperationsManager database and OperationsManagerDW (reporting) database.
    - run setup on the SQL Server where SQL Reporting Services is installed. Then choose to install reporting. You should then see the SQL Reporting Services instance on the above window which is blank in your screenshot.
    Take note of the warning in that window - SCOM uses its own role based security within SQL Reporting Services and this can break other reporting. E.g. you can't install SCOM and SCSM reporting (SQL RS component) together. 
    Cheers
