Upgrade MS SQL 2005 platform to MS SQL 2008 - Update the JDBC driver...

Hello to all,
This is the second post that I created reporting this error because in the first one I open this message in group of "SAP on SQL Server" but without any kind of help from community:
My problem is...
I´m planning to do an upgrade of a sap system (SAP ECC 6.0) from SQL Server 2005 to a SQL Server 2008 but I´m facing with a little problem. This system has two stacks - ABAP + JAVA - and because of that the Upgrade Guide to MS SQL Server 2008 describe which are the requirements for this upgrade DB platform, and one of them is this:
"If you use a Java system, you have updated the JDBC driver as described in SAP Note 639702"
... the updated of JDBC driver when we have in system a Java part, like it has in this case! But I´m with a serious problems to find in SAP System Files in Windows 2003 Server the four files that is mentioned in that note 639702. I can´t find it anywhere... in note says:
Depending on the SAP release and the system configuration, the driver files base.jar, util.jar, sqlserver.jar, and spy.jar are available in an installed system at:
(NetWeaver'04, Java:) usrsap<SAP SID>JC<InstanceNumber>j2eejdbc
(NetWeaver'04, ABAP+Java:) usrsap<SAP SID>DVEBMGS<InstanceNumber>j2eejdbc
(NetWeaver 2004s:) usrsap<SAPSID>SYSexe<NUC|UC>Platformmssjdbc
But... still I didn´t find them! I also read other note 1109274 - New JDBC driver for NetWeaver 7.0 and higher but even so I still can´t find it!
Can you help me to find this files on my operation system? I have to update that JDBC... but of course for this task I have to find it first!!!
Best regards,

Hi,
Have you considered the possibility that the directory that was supposed to contain the jdbc drivers has been replaced by a recent kernel upgrade and you never noticed?
Anyway, looking forward, put in a new set of JDBC drivers in the correct location.
Also, with reference to the following point from the first note:
Check your JDBC Driver version before you download it. To do this, unpack the attached check tool SAPCheckVersion in the relevant JDBC directory (refer to the previous paragraph). Then open a command prompt there and execute the following command:
SAPCheckVersion.cmd <server name> <username> <password>
Replace <server name> with the name of the database server, <username> and <password> with the logon data of an SQL user (for example, sa or SAP<SID>DB). If you call SAPCheckVersion.cmd without a parameter, the system displays detailed help. The tool supports both DataDirect and Microsoft drivers.
*The download name tells you which version of the driver you need to download from SAP Service Marketplace.*
Run this SAPCheckVersion and find out which drivers you need to download and then download them and use them.

Shitij

Hello John Feely,
Yeah I already know that you mentioned! In my first post/previous message I mentioned that, I already read the note 639702 and it was there I read that explanation... regarding that creation that you refer in the case of files are not in those directories, so you said that I could download this four files and put in there... but where? and how..? Sorry but that solution seems does not make any sense!
I also look other systems with double stack ABAP + JAVA and I one more time I didn´t see that directories or files that are mentioned in that note!! DAMN!
Any tip?
Kind regards,

Migrating SAP products from a non-SQL Server platform to a SQL Server 2005

Hi,
I have another question too.
Can someone pls provide me the Considerations for Migrating SAP products from a non-SQL Server platform to a SQL Server 2005 platform?
More specifically from Oracle to SQL 2005.
Regards
Abhi

Hello
You need to perform an OSDB migration.
This will involve exporting your SAP system into a DB neutral format and then reloading this into an SQL 2005 SAP system.
Please review http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration
I recommend you review the homo/heterogeneous system copy guide for your SAP release.
Thanks

Need Checklist for migrating MS SQL 2005 SP2 to MS SQL 2012

Dear Member,
We are in process of migrating our MS SQL 2005 SP2 db engine / SSIS/SSRS services to 2012.Need to know steps/checklist and experiences of migration.
I have read on Microsoft site (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/ms143393(v=sql.110).aspx), that we can only migrate SQL 2005 with SP4 to SQL 2012.Do we need to upgrade first existing 2005 SP2 to SP4 and then start migration.
Regards,
Mahesh

Hello,
Yes, you need to apply SP4 first, if you choose to perform an in-place upgrade.
You have the option to perform a side-by-side upgrade too. Please refer to the following guide:

Hope this helps.

How do I install the jdbc driver for sql server 2005, in sql developer 4.0 ?

Hallo together
I need access to tables in a MS SQL Server 2005 database.
One possibility is the JDBC driver.
How do i install this driver ?
Thank you very much for your postings.

Hi,
This is from the documentation -
Database: Third Party JDBC Drivers
The Third Party JDBC Drivers pane specifies drivers to be used for connections to third-party (non-Oracle) databases, such as IBM DB2, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Sybase Adaptive Server. (You do not need to add a driver for connections to Microsoft Access databases.) To add a driver, click Add Entry and select the path for the driver:
For Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server: jtds-1.2.jar, which is included in the jtds-1.2-dist.zip download
To find a specific third-party JDBC driver, see the appropriate website (for example, http://www.mysql.com for the MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver for MySQL, http://jtds.sourceforge.net/ for the jTDS driver for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase Adaptive Server, or search at http://www.teradata.com/ for the JDBC driver for Teradata). For MySQL, use the MySQL 5.0 driver, not 5.1 or later, with SQL Developer release 1.5.
You must specify a third-party JDBC driver or install a driver using the Check for Updates feature before you can create a database connection to a third-party database of that associated type. (See the tabs for creating connections to third-party databases in the Create/Edit/Select Database Connection dialog box.)
Alternative:
As an alternative to using this preference, you can click Help, then Check for Updates to install the JTDS JDBC Driver for Microsoft SQL Server and the MySQL JDBE Driver as extensions.

Mike

Sql 2005 standard edition for sql and AS databases with bpc 7.0 sp3 ?

hello
Install guide tells that we must use SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition with BPC except for Reporting Services.
Customer asks wether he could use SQL 2005 Standard Edition for SQL database and Analysis Services ?
Thanks.

Hello Sorin. Two more questions, please:
1) what do you mean by "Also into Application server you need EE because only in this version you have control flow." ?
Is "control flow" "business process flow" new functionality ?
2) On the other hand, I don't think that BPC admin task is able to handle lite or full optimize without an Enterprise Edition Client.
But customer asks wether it is possible to install on application server
- SSIS standard edition for SSIS service
- SSRS standard edition for Reporting Services
- SQL client Enterprise Edition to let BPC admin task handle lite and full optimize properly.
Why all this ? Because Enterprise Edition costs ten times more than Standard Edition and in a multi-server configuration, customer has to buy several SQL Server licenses, one per server running at least one SQL server service. (For example, with SQL,SSIS and OLAP on one server, and SSIS and SSRS running on the application server, customer has to buy two SQL servers licenses).
Thanks. R.

Having upgraded from 8.1 to windows 10, what is on the recovery drive?

I am new to the forum, I hope I have posted in the right place. Having upgraded from 8.1 to windows 10, what is on the recovery drive? if its not windows 10 what must I do to create a new recovery drive? or should I delete it? I have a USB recovery for windows 8.1 if I should need it. I have created a windows 10 repair disk and have a system image on an external hard drive. I dont beleave I actually need the recovery drive as I have a backup option, but I would be good to have the option to recover from the drive. I understand the backup otion I have will allow me to recover if I lose the drive. Please advise Thank you in advance.

Your recovery partition will still be Windows 8.1. Hp wont give you free Windows 10 recovery media even if your laptop is brand new with Windows 8.1 installed.

The acount information could not be verified - SQL 2005 SP3 installation on Windows 2008 R2 Failover Cluster

Hi,
We have a problem when we are trying to install SQL SP3 on SQL 2005 cluster.
The problem is described bellow:
We installed a new Windows 2008 R2 x64 failover cluster with two nodes.
As a next step we installed SQL 2005 Enterprise edition x64 on this failover cluster. We have finished the installation without problems. After SQL installation we are trying to install SQL SP3 . We have logged on using a domain administrator account and
we start the installation of SP3 with that user. In authentication mode screen the test gives a success status using either domain administrator-windows authentication or sa-sql authentication. On remote user account screen, when we give the domain
administrator account we get the message "the account information could not be verified. Press ok to return to authentication mode screen to determine the reason for failure".
We have tried to give the SQL services startup user on remote user account screen but the error is the same.
the domain administrator account exists on security logins of SQL with sysadmin rights.
Can someone help?
Thanks.

Hi StelioMavro,
According to your error message, when you install SQL Server 2005 SP3 in your failover cluster, we need to verify if there was other instance that had been removed and the installation did not pass the login check. I recommend you use windows authentication
instead of SQL Server authentication when applying SP3. And the windows account used to run the SP3 setup program must have administrator privileges on the computer where SP3 will be installed.
For more information about how to install SQL Server 2005 SP3 in failover cluster, you can review the following article.

What issues will I have if I take sql 2005 on 32bitOS TO sql 2005 on 64bit?

Last Year our SolMan was installed on 32bit OS, with SQL 2005 on Windows Ent. Edition (UNICODE).
I am preparing to migrate it to 64bit OS, and want to get there as quickly as possible without jepordizing the data integrity.
I was thinking that rather than doing a data export and import, that I could simply do a detach/attach of sql 2005
On the NEW server with 64bit OS My plan is to install SolMan 7.0 UNICODE & SQL 2005
If anyone has had experiences with this I would really appreciate tapping into your experience
Thank You in Advance
Regards,
Maria

Hello Maria,
We have used attach and detach method. We used the system copy option in the installation master for the java instance. Search for SAP notes for more detail - i dont have the right note handy.

Issues connecting to sql 2005 database using Oracle sql developer 1.2

I just installed the sql developer and was trying to use the quick migrate to try a migration from a sql server to oracle..
I am getting the following error message when i click on the retrieve database after entering the database credentials
Status : Failure net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.driver
I am getting another error message when i click on the 'test' button
Status: Failure - Unable to find driver: net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.driver
I downloaded the jtds driver from source forge and i am wondering what I should do to get the sql developer to make successful connections to sql server.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I have the same issue with both version 1.1.3 of the SQL developer and the latest version(1.2.1). I have added the jar file path in tools->preferences->Database->Third Party etc...
I got the jar file from this download: jtds-1.2.2-src.zip
I get this error when trying to connect to an sql server:
oracle.jdeveloper.cm.CMException: Unable to find driver: net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver

Any help would be appreciated. I like the tool would hate to have to abandon it, it works like a charm on our oracle databases.

At the urging of an Apple Store employee, I upgraded to OS Lion X. However, Excel does not recognize the hard drive and I cannot save any work. I understand there is a small compatibility issue - any suggestions ?

I need some direction on fixing an issue with excel and lion x which has a compatibility issue - can't save my work to a hard drive.

If you made a backup before installing lion, now would be a good time to restore that backup.... Ok, well you can always boot into lion recovery menu.... shut down your mac, hold down the option key and restart your computer..... Select recovery from the disk startup menu and go to disk utility... select the OSX disk, you can try repairing your permissions and repairing the disk.... If you lucky enough, it will fix it.... If not, and you have a decent internet connection, click the reinstall LION OSX after exiting disk utility. Your mac will now REDOWNLOAD LION OSX and reinstall it.... did you happen to make a backup before?
Also, did your mac originally have Leopard? Just curious... Because LION is entirely 64bit now where as Snow leopard had support for 32 bit as well, but the problem may be that some of your older apps where 32 bit.... This is just a guess though I'm not sure.... Because I've had numerous problems and crashes with my CS 4 stuff and final cut pro 7 and aperature.... Not sure if it's totally related to the whole 64 bit thing, but the thing is that the crashes are only occuring on my 32 bit apps.... otherwise the computer runs great.... To remedy, I had previously made an OSX lion USB drive so that I could do a fresh install of LION. I backed up all my data and files, installed a new SSD and my Macbook is SCREAAAAAAMING fast.... Sorry about the gloating but I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of your problem....

Upgrade Oracle iAS 9.0.4.1 JDBC Driver to 9.2.0.8

Hi,
I'm using Oracle Application Server 10g R1 (9.0.4.1) for a JDBC application that connects to an Oracle 9.2.0.7 Database.
Due to some NLS problems with JDBC connections which are out of the scope of this posting, I need to upgrade the JDBC Driver of iAS 9.0.4.1 to the latest JDBC Driver, closest to my database full version. Since there is no 9.2.0.7 JDBC Driver set, I downloaded the 9.2.0.8 JDBC Driver files for Java JRE 1.4 which is the jdk/jre of the iAS 9.0.4.1.
This set though, contains files ojdbc14.jar, ojdbc14_g.jar and ocrs12.jar and NOT the JDBC Driver files that are found in the ORACLE_HOME\jdbc\lib path of the iAS 9.0.4.1., and of course, replacing the existing with the new ones, does not work (does not update the JDBC Driver on the server).
How can this upgrade be archived?
Is anyone aware of the documented JDBC upgrade procedure for Oracle iAS 9.0.4.1, to driver version 9.2.0.8?
Why there is no classes12.zip or classes12.jar distribution in the JDBC driver 9.2.0.8 set?
Thank you

Restoring a SQL Server 2005 DB to a SQL Server 2014 install, is there any way to prevent it from being upgraded

Does anyone know if there is a flag I can use to prevent a SQL Server 2005 database from being upgraded to SQL 2014 when it is restored to a 2014 instance?
Don't ask why, I just need to know if this is possible or if 2005/8 DB's are required to be upgraded if they are going to run on SQL 2012/2014 instances. The documentation seems to say this is so, I just want to verify that.

First: You cannot directly restore a 2005 database to
2014. MS supports migration over 3 SQL Server version steps; means you can restore 2005 to 2008/2008R2/2012, but not to 2014. You have to do a migration step between.
Olaf I was looking for this today, because I'm working with a new customer that have SQL 2005 and I have SQL 2014. And needed to restore a backup form the production server in my test server.
When I read what you write I think, oh no!! I have to install SQL 2012 in my server. But that it's not an option for me, and I say let me try to restore the DB first in 2014 and if not work install 2012.
You can restore a 2005 database to 2014 directly, and it works.
For reference the version number in the servers 2005 (9.0.4035 SP3) and 2014 (12.0.2000 RTM)
This is not related in any way to the original question that you answered (the file format will be upgraded to the new motor, that is sure).
I put this lines because in the future there will be some people searching about if possible to restore a 2005 DB to 2014, and like me will read your lines and think it's not possible and that can make a decision to buy 2012 and not 2014 to that new server they
will migrate.
Don't forget to mark the best replies as answers!

What is SQL 2000 mode in SQL 2005 Server?

I have a application which will work in SQL 2000 (literally). I am upgrading my SQL server to 2005 from 2000. I want to know how to make SQL 2005 to function as SQL 2000 so that my application will continu working with 2005 too..?
In other words where is the option as "Run this program in compatibility mode for" like we have in Windows?
I appreciate all your help.
Ping me in Yahoo IM : rajeshtheodore too

Which Oracle product? You've only mentioned two Microsoft products and an unnamed application so far.
In other words where is the option as "Run this program in compatibility mode for" like we have in Windows?Do you mean an option in this application that works on SQL Server, or an option in SQL Server 2005? Why would we know anything about either of those?
