" The job failed" in copying database SQL SERVER 2012

I'm trying to copy a database. When going through the Copy Database Wizard, I'm getting a Execute SQL Server Agent Job error. The error states " The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details". See below:
Performing operation
Add log for package (Success)
Add task for transferring database objects (Success)
Create package (Success)
Start SQL Server Agent Job (Success)
Execute SQL Server Agent Job (Error) Messages
The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details. (Copy Database Wizard)
I can't seem to find what causing this problem. Am I using the correct approach? I just need to copy this database. Thank in advance.

Hi mohammad2050,
When using Copy Database Wizard, please make sure that the SQL Server Agent account or Integration Services Proxy account is a member of sysadmin fixed server role, and has access permission on both of source and target file system.
There is a blog about using SQL Server Copy Database Wizard for your reference .

Package Failing after update to SQL Server 2012 SP2

I have a package that was running fine with SQL Server 2012 until an upgrade to SP2 the package now fails in a derived column step where a bunch of type casts are done
(DT_NTEXT)"\" " + (DT_NTEXT)@[User::phantomScriptLoc] + (DT_NTEXT)"getautomatedtable.js " + (DT_NTEXT)"--ignore-ssl-errors=yes -user \"" + (DT_NTEXT)Username + (DT_NTEXT)"\" -pass \"" + (DT_NTEXT)Password + (DT_NTEXT)"\" -url \"" + (DT_NTEXT)@[User::gatewayWebLoc] + (DT_NTEXT)"\" -module \"/" + (DT_NTEXT)module_name + (DT_NTEXT)"/index.cfm\" -reportpage \"" + (DT_NTEXT)report_name + (DT_NTEXT)"\" -deptid \"" + (DT_NTEXT)cast_deptid + (DT_NTEXT)"\" -reportname \"" + (DT_NTEXT)report_title + (DT_NTEXT)"\" -outfile \"" + (DT_NTEXT)@[User::storeReportsLoc] + (DT_NTEXT)filename + (DT_NTEXT)"\" -format \"" + (DT_NTEXT)RTRIM(AutoRpt_FileFmt_Txt) + (DT_NTEXT)"\" -querystring \"" + (DT_NTEXT)queryString + (DT_NTEXT)"&debugMode=1\"\""
The package does not return an error but instaed call SQLDUMPER and creates a dump file.
Any one else had an issue since an SP2 upgrade?

Hi tbrown10a,
I am able to reproduce the issue after installing SP2 for SQL Server 2012. The issue occurs when trying to cast one data type to DT_NTEXT or DT_TEXT data type. As Arthur mentioned, I would suggest you file a connect at
https://connect.microsoft.com/sql.
Connect site is a connection point between you and Microsoft, and ultimately the larger community. Your feedback enables Microsoft to make software and services the best that they can be, and you can learn about and contribute to exciting projects.

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.

Sorry about the error in the path, but you find the files that's the main thing.

I've recall that I've tried to help people with this error before, but I'm sure they were able to sort it out.
Anyway, this blog post,

suggests the issue is a corrupted user profile, and you should try to use a different service account.
This blog also seems to have a simple solution, but I cannot vouch for that it will work:

Moving to unicode datatype for an entire database - SQL Server 2012

Hi,
I've a SQL Server 2012 database with more tables having more char and varchar columns.
I'd like to change quickly char columns in nchar columns and varchar columns in nvarchar columns.
Is it possible to solve this issue, please? Many thanks

Hello,
Creating a script could do it quickly as shown in the following article:
http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2010/10/18/sql-server-change-column-datatypes/
But creating the scripts may take you some time.
You will find more options here:

Hope this helps.

Which user for a contained database - SQL Server 2012

Hi,
if I've a contained db and I need to create an user for this db in order to porting this contained database to different servers inside the same domain, which type of user do I need to create?
For this user I don't want to apply any further configurations.
Any suggests to me, please?

That still doesn't parse to me... Lets break it down:
"...for the contained db to port to a server to another server in the same domain..."
I assume you mean "... from a server to another server...". The unclear thing here is exactly how you define "to port". For the database to be restoreable? Nothing has to be done. To not have orphaned users? Well, you don't get orphaned users for Windows
users, only SQL Server users. Is this Windows login already existing in the source database? Does it have permissions assigned for it that you need to keep. If so, why are we talking about crating a *new* users*? Many questions marks here...
Next part: "I need to create an user that doesn't require to accomplish any further user configurations"
Are we talking about creating a user for the purpose of performing the port? Or a user that is expected to use this database after this port? Or does this user exist already?
As for the "doesn't require to accomplish any further user configurations" part, I still don't understand this. Are you asking if all you have to do is to create this Windows user? Then the answer is possibly "yes", but it depends on your answers to my above
questions - i.e. a bigger picture of your scenario and what in the end you are trying to accomplish.

Best method to determine the week number of a month - SQL Server 2012

Hi,
I'm searching the most valid and tested method to determine the week number respect to a month.
Fe, the 1st January falls in the 1st week of January, the 1st February fall in the 1st week of February, and so on.
I've found many solutions but I'd like to know possibly the best one.
Thanks

Hi Uri,
SELECT DATEPART(week, '20150104')
   - DATEPART(week, CONVERT(CHAR(6), '20150104', 112)+'01')
   + 1
returns 2 and not 1. It's a Sunday.
Waiting to be spoonfed, eh?
The one-off in my query would be very simple to figure out - I forgot to add the +1. Is too much to expect from you that you could figure it out yourself?
And likewise, in my post I said that you should use "week" for weeks starting on Sunday, and "iso_week" if your week starts on Monday. Uri neglected to observe this, but you had the information to correct it. If you had been interested
in doing some work yourself, that is.
Nevertheless, there is an issue that I overlooked:
DECLARE @day date = '20160105'
SELECT datepart(iso_week, @day) -
   datepart(iso_week, convert(char(6), @day, 112) + '01') + 1
This returns -51. This is because with ISO week numbering, Jan 1st falls into week 53 of the previous year, if it's on a Friday or later. Week 1 is always the week of Jan 4th. When you week this does not happen, as week 1 is always the week with Jan
1st. (Dec 31st is always in week 53 or 54.)
To correct for this, we need this query:
SELECT DATEPART(iso_week, @day) -
   CASE WHEN DATEPART(iso_week, CONVERT(CHAR(6), @day, 112) + '01') < 50
THEN DATEPART(iso_week, CONVERT(CHAR(6), @day, 112) + '01')
ELSE 1
   END + 1

DROP XML SCHEMA COLLECTION dbo.ComplexTestSchemaCollection_attribute;
It worked nicely. But, I just found out the coding that was downloaded from the website of Apress and I just executed was different from the coding of Listing 4-8 listed in the book: all the <xs: ....> and </xs: ..> in my SSMS2012 are
listed as <xsd:...> and </xsd:...> respectively in the book!!?? The same thing happens in the Listing 4-3 Simple XML Schema, Listing 4-5 XML Schema and Valid XML Document with Comple Type Definition, Listion 4-6 XML Schema and XML
Document Document with Complex Type Using <sequence> and <choice>, and Listing 4-7 Complex XML Schema and XML Document with Model Group Definition (I executed last week) too. I wonder: should xs or xsd be used in the XML
Schema Collection of SSMS2012? Please kindly help, clarify this matter and explain the diffirence of using xs and xsd for me.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Scott,
Using xs or xsd depends on how you declare the namespace prefix.
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="item">
I've posted a very good link in your last question, just in case you might have missed it, please see the below link.
Understanding XML Namespaces
In an XML document we use a namespace prefix to qualify the local names of both elements and attributes . A prefix is really just an abbreviation for the namespace identifier (URI), which is typically quite long. The prefix is first mapped to a namespace
identifier through a namespace declaration. The syntax for a namespace declaration is:
xmlns:<prefix>='<namespace identifier>'
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio: XML XQuery-query the XML Blob using CTE: How to specify the coorelation name in bulk rowset?

Hi all,
I just started doing the XML Xquery programming in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio. I executed the following code:
--query the XML Blob using a CTE (pulling from the XML file each time) Products
WITH XmlFile (Contents) AS (
SELECT CONVERT (XML, BulkColumn)
FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'H:\Products.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) ) AS XmlData
SELECT *
FROM XmlFile
GO
I got the the following Msg:
Msg 491, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
A correlation name must be specified for the bulk rowset in the from clause.
How can I specify the correction name for the bulk rowset in my project?
Please kindly help, advise and respond.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hello Scott,
You have to assign a table alias for the OPENROWSET =>
--query the XML Blob using a CTE (pulling from the XML file each time) Products
WITH XmlFile (Contents) AS (
SELECT CONVERT (XML, BulkColumn)
FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'H:\Products.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS MyXML ) AS XmlData
SELECT *
FROM XmlFile
GO

Does a sql server client application needs to be modified to allow it to have benefits of running on a SQL Server 2012 cluster?

I have a client application in c++ which interacts with sql server database. My question is whether I need to make any changes to the client application code to allow it to have the benefits of running on a SQL server 2012 cluster environment.
To elaborate more on my query my concern is for e.g if my application has called an api to execute a sql query and during
the execution of this query the sql server (part of the cluster) goes down then as per my understanding the sql cluster would ensure that another node takes up the task from the current sql server which has gone down. Is this transition transparent to the
client application or in such a case my client application needs to again make a new connection and again execute the query?

Hello,
Just as Shanky post above, When you connected to a database in an availability group and specify the availability group listener in the connection string, if the availability group fails over, the original connection is broken, your application
should try a new connection after the failover.
So, when connect to an availability group, please try to increasing connection timeout and implementing connection retry logic to increase the probability of successful connection.

Problem Installing SQL Server 2012 Express

Hello
I'm in the process of installing SQL Server 2012 and the install is continually failing. It reports to possibly be a problem with the package; I've tried downloading three times now and setup has failed each time. There is a link below to the install log
file which I believe will likely be more help than my attempting to describe the symptoms but please let me know if there is any additional information which would help in finding the problem.
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=9ACB131B26E0E088!514&authkey=!ABuTadbr92UTFpo
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
“Error Code: 29559
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with the package. The error code is 29559”
Let’s try to work around the issue on a different way. Please try to download the following Evaluation Copy of SQL Server 2012, run setup, and on the “Product Key” page select
Express Edition (on the “Specify a free edition” combo box).
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29066
Do you have another instance of SQL Server installed?
Hope this helps.

Using SQL Server 2012 Express with Bitocker

Hello,
I'm currently working on getting our SQL Server Express database working with BitLocker but I am coming across a few problems. Here is my scenario:
The OS is partitioned into two volumes (C and D).
The C volume contains the OS and Software, while the D volume is primarily used for the database files (logs, back, and mdf).
The D volume is encrypted using BitLocker
The database connects using the SA account (SQL Server Authentication)
From what I understand, BitLocker must be enabled with the same account that the SQL Server is running on. So what I have done is change the SQL Server service account to the user account (lets say its called User) via SQL Configuration Manager. While staying
logged into User account, I then enable BitLocker via Control Panel -> System and Security -> BitLocker Drive Encryption. I then reboot and then while the software is trying to connect to the database I get the following exception:
'login failed for user sa'.
Is there anything I need to do to get this working? Thanks for the help.

Hi moncadad,
When you turn off BitLocker, does the database also show “Recovery Pending”? If so, the simplest cause for “Recovery Pending” might be that a disk spin-up was slow, or a disk became full. Please read this
blog to fix the issue, then check if you can successfully connect to the database after you turn on BitLocker.
However, if you are not able to view the database contents only after you turn on BitLocker, I suspect that there are some issues about configuring BitLocker. As far as I know, Bitlocker must be performed by a member of Local Admins Group, please make sure
that your account is a member of Local Admins Group on your computer.
Also I would like to recommend you post the question in the
Microsoft Bitlocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) forum to get better support. For more details about configuring SQL Server with Bitlocker, please review the following similar articles.

Unable to run sql server 2012 setup

Hi All,
I installed SharePoint 2013 on Application Server and Database(Sql Server 2012) on another server. But for reporting application I need to install some components of SQL on Application Server as well. When I try to run the installer it crashes and
shows this below dialog box.
When I debug this I get the below error.
I saw some suggestions saying it won't work with Remote Desktop so directly connected the monitor to the server and tried to install but nothing works again. Let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you install the .net framework 4.0?
Meanwhile, for the SQL issue, i think you may ask in SQL forums:
