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.

RE: Database (SQL-SERVER) access problem

Have you used NT Control Panel/ ODBC to set up the ODBC data source name?
You have to define the data source (database) SecTrade as well as the
driver to be used (SQL Server). This can be done by selecting the Add
button on the Data Sources screen in Control Panel/ ODBC.
Hope this helps.

Hi Forte-Users,
We have a setup a Sql-Server database on a NT server. In the Forte
EConsole,
we have
setup a ODBC-type Resource for this server, named SERVER2_ODBC. This NT
server
is configured as a Client Node in the active Forte environment. Note
that
Server2 is not
the Forte server, but has Forte installed. There is another NT server
which
acts as the
Forte server. NODEMGR and Sql-Server are running on SERVER2.
In our application, we have a DBSession SO with the database source
as SERVER2_ODBC, Userid=ForteInstructor. When running the application,
Forte
throws an exception, the gist of it being as follows:
USER ERROR: (This error was converted)
Failed to connect to database: SecTrade, username: ForteInstructor.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no
default
driver specified
We have tried
1) Installing ODBC drivers on the NT server (Server2)
2) Accessing local databases from Forte clients which works fine
3) Accessing the Sql-Server database through Isqlw (Sql-Server Client
s/w) -
It works.
Could someone suggest what we should try to get rid of this problem?
Thanks for any help,

Crystal Report 8.5 with SQL SERVER 2005 problems

Post Author: AREVA
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi All !We have some problems with Crystal Reports version 8.5 with SQL Server 2005: 1) When we want to generate a report (using data in SQL Server 2005) we have a popup message error : "impossible to loaded pdssql.dll".2) If we want to use SQL Server 2005, which Crystal Reports version we must used ? Is there any restrictions with this connectivity with 8.5 version ?Please, let me known, all informations about SQL Server 2005 and Crystal Report 8.5.Thanks for all !Best regards Anthony

Hello Kamlesh,
There is no expectation that the ActiveX viewer (RDC?) from CR8.5 will work in any version of Visual Studio .NET. There is also no expectation that the ActiveX viewer from CR8.5 will work on a machine with a 64 bit operating system.
You're using VS2008. You should migrate to the bundled edition of CR for VS2008 (v10.5), the ReportDocument object, and the .NET Windows form viewer or Web form viewer.

Can we able to ignore all the failed ones, and proceed till the end in excuteBatch()?

It sounds like a driver bug, and you should post this to the ms jdbc newsgroup.

SQL Server driver problem

I am trying to connect to SQL Server 2000. I have JDK1.3.1_02. When I compile my applet I get the error that class sqlserver from the statement "Class.forName(com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver);" not found. I have included the path in my classpath as "d:\JDBC\lib\msbase.jar;d:\JDBC\lib\msutil.jar;d:\JDBC\lib\mssqlserver.jar" where JDBC is the root directory for the driver.
Even the statement "import com.microsoft.*;" returns an error that package com.microsoft.* does not exist. What can be the problem?
Any suggestions/help appreciated!

You should be getting a different compiler error. Class.forName() requires a String argument, so your code should look like this:Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");Note the quotes around the class name. Also, your "import" statement is irrelevant in any case because that class is not in the com.microsoft package, it is in the com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver package.

SQL Server/JDBC Problems...

I know this topic has been posted before, and believe me I've read all of it and followed instructions at least 5 times over. But I just can't get rid of :
Got an exception!
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket.
On my SQL server side:
1) My Client Network Utility and Server Network Utility both have TCP enabled and default port set to 1433
2) I've set authentication to "SQL Server and Windows" instead of just "windows".
3) For now I'm using my 'sa' account as startup which is set to "SQL Server and Windows" authentication.
4) I've disabled and then enabled TCP a bunch of times, that doesn't seem to help.
5) My SQL Server log says:
2005-02-22 10:12:12.86 server SQL server listening on Shared Memory, Named Pipes.
It should say something about TCP according to the MS SQL help, but I've had no luck with that.
I've even tried NMAP on my computer to check for open TCP ports, and 1433 doesn't show up. My guess is the problem is with SQL Server 2000 (I'm using Java 1.5.0_01 for now). Is there some kind of trick (ritual? animal sacrifice?) needed to get SQL Server to start listening on TCP? God knows I''ve tried everything short of kicking the **** out of my purchased boxed set. Please...any help in the matter would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

I had the same problem on my windows XP laptop.
For windows XP you need SQL Server 2000 service pack 3.
Of course you may not be using windows XP but the service pack will not hurt.

SQL Server Database Problems

I have been using SQL Server for sometime with my company's product with no
unusual problems for some time.
However, having recently installed a Forte repository on a newly setup NT
machine (Workstation 4, SP4), I have come across problems.
The code constructs a cusor which requests columns from a table. Some of those
columns are of int type but when they are retrieved, the values are completely
different to those that can be seen when writing SQL statements directly from
ISQL.
For example, 1 becomes a seven figure number.
The following code is being used to iterate through the result set and create
another string which is made from the values concatenated together :
for CurRow in 1 to outputDataSet.ActualRows do
outputDataSet.CurrentRow = CurRow;
for curCol in 1 to outputDataSet.ColumnList.Items do
outputDataSet.GetValue(curCol,Value);
if(not Value.IsNull) then
// If datetime datatype, need some conversion
if (outputDataset.columnList[curCol].DataType =
DV_DT_DATETIME ) or (outputDataset.columnList[curCol].DataType =
DV_DT_DATETIME_NULLABLE ) then
begin
tempDateTime.SetValue( Value.TextValue );
-- The user has entered an invalid Date format.
exception
when e : UsageException do
tempDateTime.DecodeValue(source=Value.TextValue,
format=dateForm);
end;
pResultData.Concat(dateForm.FormatDate(tempDateTime));
else
pResultData.Concat(Value.TextValue);
end if;
end if;
if(curCol <> outputDataSet.ColumnList.Items ) then
-- pResultData.Concat('\t');
pResultData.Concat(pDelimChar);
else
pResultData.Concat( source = '\r\n' );
end if;
end for;
end for;
This has not occurred on any other installation and the only ideas that I have
are that :
i) the ODBC driver is either the incorrect version or has been setup incorrectly
in some way
ii) there are problems with the configuration of SQL Server or NT that is
causing this problem
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks,
Alex

My recomendation is to debug the web page. Set a breakpoint by clicking on the row say probably at the page load/form load event. Press F5 to start the debug. Click F10 to step over next row multiple times until and unless you get the error message. i.e
Invalid column name 'UserId'.
The piece of code which you have posted does not contain any assignment or usage of column name "UserId", therefore post the portion of the code where the error is actually taking place.

SQL Server 2000 problem with MII Version 12.1.8 Build(24) Reconnecting

Hi,
I have a problem using XMII Version 12.1.8 Build(24) with com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver JDBC driver with SQL 2000.
The problem we have is the machine where the SQL server is installed on reboot as per schedule once a week. When the server comes back online, XMII seems to get problem to reconnect correctly. Sometimes it reconnects perfectly, sometimes not.
When it fails, the only way to fix the problem is to uncheck the 'Enabled' checkbox, then save the data server, then check the 'Enabled' checkbox, then save again.
When the reconnect issue happens, uploading messages to SAP fail 100% of time, but downloading Control Recipes from SAP works 50% of time. For example, some PO's can be processed correctly, some others not, causing data losses due to poor data buffering(buffering doesn't cover connection time out). The failed PO's are marked as 'Sent' into CO53 SAP transaction but in fact, are lost in a hole causing data losses.
See the error we get atfer the server reboot:
Unable to get a connection from the pool
[EXCEPTION]
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The TCP/IP connection to the host VANASR70, port 1433 has failed. Error: "connect timed out. Verify the connection properties, check that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting... [see details]

[EXCEPTION]

The only way we have thought to workaround this problem is to develop our own buffering method into XMII workbench puting all data received from SAP or SQL insert query into an Oracle temp database. We should probably be able to fix this by this way, but it reprensents many costs and efforts, so we try to avoid this for sure.
Please, if you can provide us a patches or hints about how to fix this, it could be very appreciated because loosing data is very anoying.
Thanks a lot!

The validation query is in place and the system works very well 99% of the time.
When the SQL server machine reboot each sunday morning, during the time the machine is rebooting, the data server lose the connection which is normal, but when the machine comes back alive(less then 10 minutes), the data server seems to stay in an 'in-between' state showing the connection status 'Running' but showing also error messages posted in the orginial post in Netweaver logs. So at first look the data server is up and running and reconnected to SQL server after the reboot, but in fact, following these errors after the SQL server machine has rebooted, some data are processed correctly from SAP (Control Recipes) and some not.
The problems looks like very similar to threadID 1596329.

SQL server 2005 problem with service starting

I am having a problem starting my sqlserver service. It will not start and therefore i have no access to my sql 2005 server database. This is what in the event log. This database was working fine until i had two drives kill over in a RAID configuration.
The striping went out with a hitch and no i want to see if anyone have any ideas before i perform a restore. Do i need to run SQL server repair with the installation disk?

Well from viewing the log it looks like i am in a pickle. Since the SQL service won't start, is there a command or script to run for a database check using powershell? Since it looks like i will be doing a restore, just curious now.

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.

MS SQL Server 2000 Problem to Connect

Hi There
I have a problem with MS SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 3 and JDBC from Microsoft
My tools are:
- Windows 2003 Server Standart Edition
- MS SQLServer 2000 with ServicePack 3
- JDBC from Microsoft with ServicePack 3
I want to connect in the database using JDBC.
At first time, I follow the example to chance the authentication of SQL
Server
http://www.banmanpro.com/support/sql2k.asp
Now, when I will try out to connect in the SQL Server, I receive this error
message
java.sql.SQLException: [Micro$oft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for
JDBC][SQLServer]Login failed for user 'Administrador'.
I'm trying to connect in SQL Server using my Windows Account, in other
words, I'm using the ADMIN account of Windows and which was registered in
the SQL Server.
In then DriverManager.getConnection line from Java, the Username and
Password is same the operation system, but I receive the error below.
Maybe Can you help me please?

You can't log in using Windows credentials using the MS driver (yes, I know that sounds kind of funny). Use jTDS for that, if you really need it (or if you encounter any other problems with the MS driver). Otherwise log in using SQL Server credentials (try with user sa and blank password if not sure).

JDBC MS SQL Server ResultSet Problem

I'm writing a web-app using apache tomcat. I'm using MS SQL Server 2000 as my database. I am having no problem connecting to the database, but whenever I query the database, the ResultSet that is returned never has anything in it. I've tried even the simplest select queries and i'm still getting no results. I thought it might be a problem with the JDBC Driver I've been using, but I'm using the exact same driver for SQL Squirrel Client to connect, and Squirrel Client is returning results just fine from the database. Is there something that I've forgotten in my servlet code? Here's something like what I've been using:
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(host, userName, password);
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from some_table");

If the select statement returns rows then the loop will execute... Put in some debugging output just before the while() loop, inside the loop, and immediately after the loop.
Are you ignoring exceptions?
Google for "jdbc tutorial". Take the simplest example program there that selects something. Run it as a command line program. Does it work? (Answer: yes.) Now what is different between that example program and your code?

MX7 SQL SERVER Datasource problem

hello
I installed MX7 and I do not manage to create a datasource
which
point towards my dB MSSQL SERVER on local, it posts me this:
Connection verification failed for data source: blanko
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
Driver]Error
establishing socket. Unknown host: (local)
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer
JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Unknown host: (local)
under Coldfiusion server 5.5 there was the possibility of
checked “Trusted connnection” and it had no prob with
MSQLSERVER there Apparently it is necessary to work with the JDBc
drivers but I do not have any idea of how to install it I am sure
that it is a traditional error, if somebody has already encountered
the problem,
thank you to light me
thks Sam
Configuration: Windows 2003 Internet Explorer 7.0

I found why it did not recognize localhost, because I placed
(localhost) between bracket because on CF 5.5 it was the case for
(local), therefore now it recognizes apparently the localhost as
server but it is another problem now: it did not recognize the
username and password,
however I configured SQL SERVER 2005 in mixed mode and thus
I test with login: Administrator and password empty (because I
don't have password on Windows authentication) and I also test with
username: sa and my password admin but without success, here what
it indicates as error:
Connection verification failed for data source: blanko
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket.
Connection refused: connect
in addition I do not know if there is a bond, (I work under
win 2003 standard edition) and according to what I read on the Net,
it may be that it is a problem of port, can be the port 1433 is not
open? If I make on DOS prompt: telnet localhost 1433 ==> failure
to connect whereas telnet localhost 80 works
I even tried to connect with
username: sa
pwd: mypwd
port: 80 (I know that 80 is the port for HTTP)
it posts the following message:
Connection verification failed for data source: blanko
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]No
more data available to read.
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:

Sql Server 2014 Problem

Hello,
Can anyone help me that i installed sql server 2014 after installation when i open it it is asking for server name ,how to solve this problem?

Hello,
Can anyone help me that i installed sql server 2014 after installation when i open it it is asking for server name ,how to solve this problem?
First please tell did you installed named instance or default instance. Did you installed licensed version/evaluation edition or express edition.
You always connect to SQL Server using SSMS like
Hostname\instancename. You can go to Run type cmd and in command prompt type hostname the name returned is your hostname. Instance name is name of SQL Server instance which you created with installation ( if you created one or else it will be default instance)
If it is default instance and not a SQL Express you can just type dot. Dot like
. and can connect. If it is SQL express you can connect like Hostame\SQLEXPRESS.
If it is named instance connect like Hostname\instancename.
PS: Use account which you have added as administrator while installing SQL server as shown by Javier. if you selected mixed mode authentication you can connect by SA.
Please mark this reply as answer if it solved your issue or vote as helpful if it helped so that other forum members can benefit from it.
