Upgrade from SQL 2000 to 2005

In our test environment, we are on 2005 SP01 PL34, and are
upgrading SQL Enterprise Edition from the 2000 to the 2005 SP2 edition.
The SQL upgrade advisor has given some error messages
in relation to SAP tables, as per below. Should we be concerned about
these, or will they have any effect on upgrading from SAP B1 2005 to
2007 versions?
Remove references to undocumented system tables
Many system tables that were undocumented in prior releases have changed or no longer exist; therefore, using these tables may cause errors after upgrading to SQL server 2005.
Affected tables
Object Name : TmSP_GetDbSizeByDrives
Object Type : P
System Table : spt_value
Object Name : TmSP_CheckDiskSpace
The above messages point to SAP stored procedures.

I believe all those SP are temporary SP for you previous upgrade. Therefore. it should be no problem to upgrade your test database first. You have to back up the pre upgrade database anyway, you should be safe.
Thanks,
Gordon

Database restore from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 for SBO 2005B

Hi Everyone,
I am facing some problems in regards to the restore of SBO Database from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
Let me explain you the problem.
See I am using SAP B1 2005B with patch level 38 in my laptop with SQL 2000. I have made an company in this and done work in it as a production company and now I want to restore this company in the server which has SQL 2005. How to do it.
I have taken a backup in my laptop from SAP B1 Server Suite Manager which has SQL 2000 and sucessfully backed up but when I am trying to restore in the server which has SQL 2005 I am getting the following error in SQL 2005 in server :-
Restore failed for Server 'DXBAP001'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\data\SBO_DCHAR.mdf" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please let me know the solution for it.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
In SQL 2005 create a database and name as the 200 one was (though any name would do). when you create the database note the location of the .mdb and .ldf file.
once this had created right click on your new database > tasks > restore database
in the new window select from device and point it to your .bak file created from your 2000 system, ensure you put a tick in the restore box on the new line.
in the options tab tick overwrite database, and, change the file locations in the restore as directory to the file locations of the new database. the file names must be the same too.
you can change the original file names after the restore.
that should do the trick.
thanks,
mike

Upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server Express 2014 Enterprise

I was just wondering if it is possible to upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server Express or will I have to build the environment and then migrate the database?
Thanks for any help

Hi Lance_Romance,
As others’ posts, you don’t have to build new environment and then migrate databases between SQL Server instances, you can use the in-place upgrade strategy to upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2014 .Please note that SQL Server 2005 SP4 is required
in this case.
Before upgrading , I recommend you to use
upgrade advisor, it can help to analyze your existing SQL Server deployment and inform you of issues that need to be addressed. In addition, please perform a full server backup prior to performing the in-place upgrade, which will be an important way
to revert your SQL Server to its previous state if the upgrade does not go as planned. For more details, please review this blog:

SQL Server reporting services error "URl has already been reserved" while doing upgrade from SQL server 2008 R2 to SQL server 2012

"URl has already been reserved".
Reporting services for port 80 and 443 works fine both for reports and reportingserver on SQL server 2008 R2. But when I try to upgrade from SQL server 2008 R2 to 2012 this error pops up. How to make sure before upgrading regarding reporting services that
URL reserves and SSL are fine or how to fix reporting services are upgrade like repair install.
Thanks

Hi yashmitl,
In your case, please running the following command to check the current URL reservations on http.sys.
netsh http show urlacl
Then, please delete the URL reservation by executing the following command try to resolve the issue.

SQL 2012 Linked Server connection from SQL 2000

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to create a linked server connection in SQL 2000 to a SQL 2012 instance?
If so, which provider should I use?
Many Thanks,

Hi Shanky,
I'm afraid you misunderstood my Q. The above posts show how to create a linked server connection FROM SQL2012 --> SQL 2000.

Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?

Question
Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?
Main priority is voice activation upgrade. Ideas about how to proceed appreciated!

AFAIK, it's been over three years since a WinXP laptop or desktop PC has been sold; I specifically bought a laptop in June 2008 because it was being clearanced by that retail chain to meet Microsoft's deadline, and got it real cheap. It was tagged for the store manager to purchase, but he let me have it because I exceeded his expectations for the services I performed for his store and thought I deserved it. Anything that wasn't made for Vista-compatibility will be very iffy with Win7, IMO - so that basically rules out anything that was made before like Oct or Nov 2007.
Unless another DNS 11 user happens to see this thread and can verify whether it works in Firefox 6.0 or not, I don't what to recommend except for you doing a web search to see what other DNS / Firefox users have to say about compatibility.

Sound glitches after upgrading from win 2000 to win

Hello!
I have this sound card since 2 years and never had any problems... but since I've upgraded from windows 2000 to windows xp, there's a lot of glitches in the sound coming from the card (it happens with all softwares I use). I'm using a sound blaster audigy 2 nx (latest drivers) on a P4 2GHz with 52 Mb Ram. Thanks in advance!

What version of the Oracle ODBC driver are you using? 8.01 is not a driver version-- it should be something like 8.1.7.x.y (assuming you're using one of the 8.1.7 Oracle ODBC drivers).
Since Oracle desupported the 8.1.7 database almost a year ago, do you have the option of upgrading the Oracle client to a supported release (probably 9.2 in your case)?
Unfortunately, I don't know what your particular problem is, but I have certainly seen problems mixing the latest and greatest versions of applications with older versions of the Oracle client.

Limitations of upgrading from ERP 2004 to 2005

We are evaluation completing an upgrade from ERP 2004 to 2005. However, we found a limitation in note 879335 regarding upgrading the portal.
We have an Enterprise Portal instance that is separate from the SAP ECC J2EE add-in. The ESS components including XSS run on the J2EE add-in.
According to this note, we cannot upgrade the XSS component on the J2EE add-in because it
is not running on EP. Does this mean we need to undeploy the XSS components and then upgrade the J2EE and then install the XSS component? or Do we need to import the XSS component on EP and then
upgrade?
Why is this a limitation?

I have isolated the issue further. In the following code fragment the event is being fired twice the first time and never again:
          If pVal.FormType = 133 And pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_LOAD Then
               '// get the event sending form
               'SBO_Application.MessageBox("Hello world")
               oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.GetFormByTypeAndCount(pVal.FormType, pVal.FormTypeCount)
               oNewItem = oForm.Items.Add("Button1", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_BUTTON)
               oNewItem.Left = 285
               oNewItem.Top = 382
               oNewItem.Width = 100
               oNewItem.Height = 19
               oNewItem.FromPane = 0
               oNewItem.ToPane = 1
               oButton = oNewItem.Specific
               oButton.Caption = "New Button"
          End If
End Sub
The code is an adaptation of the SDK VB.NET sample ('11.SystemFormManipulation'), which is supplied with the latest version of the SDK installation.
The big question is why is the event being fired twice.

Upgrade R/3 4.7 110 from SQL 2000 to ECC 6.0 /SQL 2005

Dear Experts,
We are currently running R/3 4.7 110 with kernel 640 32 Bit Non Unicode on Windows Server 2000/ MS SQL 2000 Platform. We are planning to Upgrade the same to ECC 6.0 on Windows 2003/ SQL 2005 on New x64 Bit Hardware.
I was earlier planning to Upgrade the OS/DB in first Phase moving the same R/3 4.7 on Windows 2003 Server /MS SQL 2005 and then Upgrade it to ECC 6.0 in second phase. But to my surprise when I checked PAM, I found that R/3 4.7 110 is not at all supported on SQL 2005 ( though R/3 4.6 C is)
Now shall I upgrade it to ECC6.0 First with Windows 2003/SQL 2000 ( Because ECC6.0 is supported with MS SQL 2000)and then move to MS SQL 2005 ?
Thanks
Jitendra Tayal

We had the same issue.
So I checked with SAP.
This was their reply.
'SAP R/3 4.7 Ext 110 is supported on SQL 2005. Please refer to the following notes for further information:'
Note 905634 - Release planning for Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Note 799058 - Setting Up Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Note 899111 - Installing R3 4.7SR1 (47X110) on x64 Windows Platform
Note 151603 - Copying an SQL Server database
So feel free to go ahead.
Thanks.

Resource Breaks When Upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to 2005 - Help!

I have a resource that connects to mutiple databases:
<ResourceAttribute name='Databases' displayName='com.waveset.adapter.RAMessages:RESATTR_DATABASES'
description='com.waveset.adapter.RAMessages:RESATTR_DATABASES_HELP' multi='true'>
<value>dbOne</value>
<value>dbTwo</value>
<value>Employee_Info</value>
</ResourceAttribute>
It all works fine when the backend SQL server is 2000, but since we've upgraded it to 2005, the connection fails with this error:
Test connection failed for resource(s):MenuSQL: Required database dbOne not found.MenuSQL: Required database dbTwo not found.MenuSQL: Required database Employee_Info not found.
I'm using the MS SQL JDBC driver for 2005 and I've verified that my connection url is good:jdbc:sqlserver://%h:%p;databaseName=%d;integratedSecurity=true; where %h and %p are the correct host and ports.
I turned on tracing of com.waveset.adapter.MSSQLServerResourceAdapter and com.waveset.adapter.JdbcResourceAdapter and I don't see any errors or issues reported.
If I set it back to connect to the SQL 2000 databases, it works. If I change it to only connect to one database, rather than 3 it works. However, I need this working on 2005 with all three databases. Any ideas on what I can look at or how I can further troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Turns out the driver I'm using is fine (sqljdbc.jar). The problem is that the IdM source code executes "sp_databases" to list the databases. In SQL versions prior to 2005 this would work by default. But with 2005 a user has to be granted permissions to do so.
To fix it you need to either grant the IdM ID you're using VIEW DEFINITION permission at an appropriate scope: object level, database level or server level or modify the stored procedure so that it executes under the credentials of the owner.
Here's some info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187113.aspx

There are more detailed logs for the various components. The one of interesting is the one for the engine or possibly the one for full-text.
These logs are extremely verbose, and the errors are rarely crystal clear, but at least give them a try. If you have problems, find a place to upload them (Dropbox, Skrydrive etc), so that we can look.
The closest at hand is that "group" that cannot be found is an AD group.

Universe Connection - SQL 2000 to 2005 upgrade

We are using Designer 11.5.0.0 and have a Universe that is designed as Secured Type, OLEDB connection to a SQL Server 2000 Server/Database and WEBI reports have been developed using this Universe.
The plan is to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 and there will be no changes to any of the database tables that are used in the Universe.
My first question is .... once that happens, do I need to do anything to the Universe like update the connection, export it or anything else?
Second question is .... once the Universe is "upgraded" to the new SQL Server 2005 server/database, will the reports still work or do they need to be modified in any way?
Thanks for your comments !

One thing make sure that the schema name or owner name should be same along with the table names in the new database.
In the designer create a new connection pointing to the new database, export the universe to the CMC.
1) make sure that you use the proper middleware to create the new connection. pionting to new database.
2) No need to do any changes to the reports... the reports will take the connection used to the universe.
Thanks,

Upgrading from SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU] to SQL Server 2008 Express Edition OR HIGHER for Microsoft Security Compliance Manager

I have downloaded the MS Security Compliance Manager, which is in two parts: MS SQL Server 2008 Express Edition & the SCM. The install instructions state the the server needs to be install before the SCM. So as the install continues I get
an error message, which cancels the installation. So, I am trying to install SQL 2008 EE separate from SCM. My question is:
Can I upgrade from my current SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU]
directly to SQL Server 2008 Express Edition (or higher)?

So as the install continues I get an error message, which cancels the installation.
And which error message did you got?
SQL Server Compact Edition is something different then SQL Server Express (or Standard) Edition, you can't upgrade it as you asked for,.
