  • Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?

    Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?
    Does this best practice still applies to sql server 2012 & 2014?

    Yes.  The extent size of SQL Server data files, and the max log block size have not changed with the new versions, so the guidance should remain the same.

  • Change the Data and Log file locations in livecache

    Hi
    We have installed livecache in unix systems in the /sapdb mount directory where the installer have created sapdata and sapdblog directories. But the unix team has already created two mount direcotries as follows:
    /sapdb/LC1/lvcdata and /sapdb/LC1/lvclog mount points.
    While installing livecache we had selected this locations for creating the DATA and LOG volumes. Now they are asking to move the DATA and LOG volumes created in sapdata and saplog directories to these mount points. How to move the data and log file and make the database consistent. Is there any procedure to move the files to the mount point directories and change the pointers of livecahce to these locations.
    regards

    Hi Lars
    Thanks for the link. I will try it and let u know.
    But this is livecache (even it uses MaxDB ) database which was created by
    sapinst and morover is there any thing to be adjusted in SCM and as well as
    any modification ot be done in db level.

  • Display data in log file using PL/SQL procedure

    Just as srw.message is used in Oracle RDF Reports to display data in log file in Oracle Apps, similarly how it is possible to display data in log file using PL/SQL procedure?
    Please also mention the syntax too.

    Pl post details of OS, database and EBS versions.
    You will need to invoke the seeded FND_LOG procedure - see previous discussions on this topic

  • How to monitor Log Backups for MS SQL Server

    Hello all.
    We are running Solution Manager 7.1 on SP Stack 10 and have downloaded the latest template content.
    When configuring the templates for DB monitoring, we noticed that although there is a metric that monitors the age of the last DB backup, there is no such metric to monitor the age of the last successful Log backup, or even a metric to alert us on a failed backup / log backup.
    Has any of you ever had to create a custom metric to monitor either the age of the latest successful log backup for MS SQL Server, or a custom metric to alert on failed backups / log backups?
    If yes, could you provide some instructions on how to create such a metric?
    Thank you in advance for your answers.
    Phevos

    Divyanshu, thank you for your answer.
    I had a similar idea to check the DB log file for failed log backups. The problem is that when I opened the log file from the dbacockpit, I found no errors/warnings for the days that our log backups did not run or failed. Here is a small part of that log to show you what I mean. In this example, the log backup was not running from 25th of July until the 28th of July when we fixed the log backups again, after receiving a disk space warning (log disk drive was almost full):
    The last successful log backup is mentioned in the log: "20140724091524    Backup    Log was backed up"
    Then as the days go by, there is no backup failure entries whatsoever to look for them in the log:
    20140725000023    spid18s    This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 1304 since 5/27/2014 11:50:00 PM (local) 5/28/2014 6:50:00
    20140725000023    spid18s    AM (UTC). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
    20140726000020    spid21s    This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 1304 since 5/27/2014 11:50:00 PM (local) 5/28/2014 6:50:00

    20140727000023    spid22s    This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 1304 since 5/27/2014 11:50:00 PM (local) 5/28/2014 6:50:00
    20140727000023    spid22s    AM (UTC). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
    20140728000022    spid17s    This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 1304 since 5/27/2014 11:50:00 PM (local) 5/28/2014 6:50:00
    20140728000022    spid17s    AM (UTC). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
    Until finally on the 28th we restored the log backup functionality:
    20140728042814    Backup    Log was backed up. Database: XXX, creation date(time): 2010/12/22(16:45:29)
    So, I find it difficult to deduce an appropriate string to look for in the log, in order to generate an alert when my log backups are not working.
    Any suggestions? Am I looking at the wrong place perhaps?

  • Opening .dat and .log files on iOS?

    I couldn't be sure which forum to put this under. I'm looking for an app that can open these two file types. Editing is not a requirement.

    Its hard to say without knowing the actual format and contents of said files. log files can be plain text. So any Text editor should be able to open them just fine unlesss they log is in some other perhaps binary format.  DAT files are usually containers ofr other formats, so without knowng what is in them again its hard to suggest anythng.
    What apps have you tried if any?

  • Can we store ORACLE DATA and LOG files in seperate file system

    I am installing NW2004s in HP UNIX Server with Oracle database
    I have selected the option as custom
    I would want the SAP datafiles to be stored in /sapdata  file system
    Log files to be stored in /oraclelog file system
    While installation SAP is just asking me for the location of SAP data files. It is not asking me for the location of the log files.
    (It is asking me for the location of control files)
    Hence as per my understanding the oracle log files can be saved only in  the same directory as oracle Data file.
    Please confirm

    I have heard reports of people that made some kind of synchronization between AD and OID, but I have no hands on experience with this. There are some notes on metalink that describe the process, but I try to stay away from AD as far as possible (I usually work on unix or linux environments and those don't really mix with AD).

  • Where can I find an explanation of Processes and Log files for LMS 3.2?

    Being fairly new to Ciscoworks, I've been scouting for documentation that explains the processes as enumerated by the "pdshow" command. Also, when there are problems, I find myself hunting through the log files without a clear understanding of which log file most likely contains the data I need for troubleshooting purposes.
    Is there a document, preferably in table format, that has at least a brief explanation of each of these items? I can probably eventually glean this information from reading all of the documentation, but that would be a lengthy task.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Log File Issue In SQL server 2005 standard Edition

    We have database of size 375GB .The data file has 80 GB free space within .When trying to rebuild the index we had 450 GB free space on the disk where Log file is residing.The rebuild index activity failed due to space issue.added more space and got the
    job done successfully
    The Log file has grow up to 611GB to complete the rebuild index.
    version :SQL server 2005 Standard Edition .Is ther a way to estimate the space required for rebuild index in this version.
    I am aware we notmaly allocate 1.5 times of data file.But in this case It was totaly wrong.
    Any suggestion with examples would be appreciated.
    Raghu

    OK, there's a few things here.
    Can you outline for everybody the recovery model you are using, the frequency with which you take full, differential and transaction log backups.
    Are you selectively rebuilding your indexes or are you rebuilding everything?
    How often are you doing this? Do you need to?
    There are some great resources on automated index maintenance, check out
    this post by Kendra Little.
    Depending on your recovery point objectives I would expect a production database to be in the full recovery mode and as part of this you need to be taking regular log backups otherwise your log file will just continue to grow. By taking a log backup it will
    clear out information from inactive VLF's and therefore allow SQL Server to write back to those VLF's rather than having to grow the log file. This is a simplified version of events, there are caveats.
    A VLF will be marked as active if it still has an open transaction in it or there is a HA option that still requires that data to be available as that data has not been copied to another node yet.
    Most customers that I see take transaction log backups every 15 - 30 minutes, but this really does depend upon how much data your company can afford to lose. That's another discussion for another day.
    Make sure that you take a transaction log backup prior to your job that does your index rebuilds (hopefully a smart job not a sledge hammer job).
    As mentioned previously swapping to bulk logged can help to reduce the size of the amount of information logged during index rebuilds. If you do this make sure to swap back into the full recovery model straight after and perform a full backup. There are
    problems with the ability to do point in time restores whilst in the bulk logged recovery model, so you need to reduce the amount of time you use it.
    Really you also need to look at how your indexes are created does the design of them lead to them being fragmented on a regular basis? Are they being used? Are there better indexes out there that can help performance?
    Hopefully that should put you on the right track.
    If you find this helpful, please mark the post as helpful,
    If you think this solves the problem, please propose or mark it an an answer.

  • About the MDF and log_LDF file in the SQL server

    Hai Experts ,
    I need known the , What is MDF and log_ldf file .
    In our BPC server there are MDF and Log_LDF file in the MSSQLSERVER folder under the E drive.
    The both file have huge database size .
    Can u explain what is MDF and Log_LDF file , why its created ....
    Regards
    Daya......................

    Hi Daya
    Those files are the actual SQL database files, in SQL Server management console, you have a logical view of the database with all of the objects within the database. The *.MDF and *.LDF files are the actual physical files which makes up the database in SQL Server. (Where the actual data is stored...)
    The MDF file is the actual data file
    The LDF file is the transaction log file, SQL Server uses this file in order maintain ACID compliance. It uses transactions to ensure that the database will always revert to a known consistent state on failure.
    More Info:
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SQL_Server]
    You don't provide much information regarding the environment, i.e (DEV, QA, PROD, etc), but your *.LDF file should not be bigger that your *.MDF file, and if it is quite large, then you will need your DBA to shrink your Transaction Log file.

  • Ssis - import data from flat file to table (sql server 2012)

    i have create a ssis for importing data from flat file to table in sql server 2012.
    but i got the below error for some column in data flow task.
    error: cannot processed because than one code page (950 and 1252)
    anyone helps~

    Hi,
    The issue occurs because the source flat file uses ANSI/OEM – Tranditional Chinese Big5 encoding. When processing the source file, the flat file connection manager uses code page 950 for the columns. Because SQL Server uses code page to perform conversions
    between non-Unicode data and Unicode data, the data in the code page 950 based input columns cannot be loaded to code page 1252 based destination columns. To resolve the issue, you need to load the data into a SQL Server destination table that includes Unicode
    columns (nchar or nvarchar), and convert the input columns to Unicode columns via Data Conversion or the Advanced Editor for the Flat File Source at the same time.
    Another option that may not be that practical is to create a new database based on the Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_BIN collation, and load the data to non-Unicode columns directly.

  • Extract data from Flat file CSV to SQL Server 2008 using SSIS 2008 (Data gets corrupted when extraction)

    Hi,
    I am trying to extract data from multiple CSV files to SQL into a single table. The data type of all the columns in SQL table is nvarchar(MAX).  I am able to extract the data from the flat files but some of the data(on extraction) is
    corrupt including question marks(?) and other invalid special characters. Also I tried selecting the UTF-8, 65001(Unicode) format but the problem still persists. Also I tried using data converter but no use.
    I checked with the data in the flat file but there is no data with question mark(?) or any other special characters.
    The separator in the flat file is Comma(,)
    Please help.
    Thanks in advace.

    The source system and application determines the code page and encoding. Is it Windows, Unix, Mainframe or some other type? 
    Unicode files sometimes begin with a byte order mark (2 bytes) to indicate little or big endian.  If you open the file in notepad and then select save as, the encoding in the dialog will show the encoding notepad detected based on the BOM.  If
    that is ANSI instead of Unicode or UTF-8, you will need to know the code page the source system used when the file was created.

  • Log file shrinking in SQL server

    Hi,
    I have a log file with initial size of 80 GB in C drive.
    Now we are having space issue in C drive, so i tried to shrink the log file, but its not reducing below initial size.
    Is it the default behavior or i missed anything while shrinking ?
    I used DBCC SHRINKFILE option to shrink it.
    How can i change the initial size of the log file ?
    If it has been set as 80 GB , because of that am i not able to free space in C drive ?
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    Please check first the log reuse wait state of the databases, may you have to run an additional log backup before you can shrink the log file

    Post relates to: Tungsten T2

    You would re-install Palm DT 4.1.4, then rename the .dat file to .old in each folder Datebook, Calendar, Too do's, and Memos under your user name in C:\Program Files\Palm\ [your Palm user name (similar)] . Then put the .dat file you have saved from your original install folders in each new respective folder. Then you should be able to view your data under the user name you placed it under.
