Upgrade SQL From the SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2008

hello:
I am running the following query. This query is based on SQL server 2008. POIShare is a view which is created by the table.
"select PoiShare.AddressCode,REPLACE(PoiShare.NameSpell,' ','') as NameSpell,PoiShareOffset.Offset from PoiShare, PoiShareOffset where POIShare.AddressCode & 0xFF000000 = %COUNTRY_ADCODE% and PoiShare.POIID = PoiShareOffset.POIID order by PoiShare.AddressCode,PoiShare.NameSpell"
I'm getting the following result.

"PoiShare.NameSpell" is not sorted. I try to solve this problem.but It doesn't work.
I tried some ways.
1.Sort all of the field
2.Using "COLLATE Cyrillic_General_CI_AI_KS_WS" to "NameSpell"
3.Create index for "NameSpell"
4.Using "cast(replace(PoiShare.NameSpell,',','') as bigint)",But SQL returned an error
5.Install SQL SP1
any help is greatly appreciated.

SELECT * FROM <<VIEW>>
ORDER BY <<COLUMN>>
The query above work fine in SQL Server 2008. NameSpell has already been sorted, thank you.

Changes required to switch from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005?

I'm converting a legacy app from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. The app is written in VB6 and utilizes CR 8 OCX. When I invoke a report from VB I'm getting Error# 20599 Cannot open SQL server. I redefined the ODBC DSN specifying Windows Authentication, and the SQL Server instance supports mixed mode.
Searching for the error, I found an article that suggests I need p2sodbc8.zip, but I can't find a link to it in the Downloads area.
Would greatly appreciate any help at all - including a link to p2sodbc8.zip if that's the likely resolution.
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Hi Peter,
As you are having issue with SDK's.
I would suggest you to post your question in
Business Objects SDK Application Development » [Legacy Application Development SDKs|;
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all SDK queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thank you for your understanding,

When running STM (SAP Tools for SQL Server) on the target server I get the following error:

Request
I'm thinking if any one of you is able to access an SAP system on SQL Server (2005 or other) with the above mentioned stored procedure present you could scipt it to a txt file and post it here in order for me to create it manually on my system.
I've checked several SAP Notes on this subject and none of them explains how to create this store procedure from scratch, they all just assume it's already there and tell you to execute it.
Thank you.

I was able to solve this issue just now the following way:
- A friend of mine scripted it to a file which I then used to create the sap_use_var_MAX on the target database.
Here is a copy of that file:
USE [<SID>]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
create proc [<sid>].[sap_use_var_MAX] as
begin

declare @datatype sysname
declare @nullflag nvarchar(1)
declare @cmd nvarchar(1024)
declare @n_altered int
declare c cursor for
    select t.TABLE_NAME,c.COLUMN_NAME,c.DATA_TYPE,
              nullflag = substring(c.IS_NULLABLE,1,1)
      from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS c,
           INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES t
      where c.TABLE_NAME = t.TABLE_NAME AND
            c.TABLE_SCHEMA = t.TABLE_SCHEMA AND
            t.TABLE_TYPE like '%TABLE%' AND
            c.TABLE_SCHEMA = schema_name() AND
            c.DATA_TYPE IN ('text','ntext','image')
      order by t.TABLE_NAME,c.COLUMN_NAME
open c
set @n_altered = 0
fetch next from c into @tabname,@colname,@datatype,@nullflag
while (@@fetch_status <> -1)
begin
    if (@@fetch_status <> -2)
    begin
      set @cmd = N'alter table [' + @tabname +
                  N'] alter column [' + @colname +
                  N'] '
      if @datatype = N'text'
        set @cmd = @cmd + N'varchar(MAX)'

Moving sql server 2000 to sql server 2014

Moving sql server 2000 to sql server 2014. Could someone please give me steps to move everything from sql 2000 one server to sql 2014. I have 2 instance on sql 2000. 8 databases on each of them. On both instances we have store procedure and jobs.

i think your SQL Server 2000 is hosted on old Windows server version so based on that you should prepare new environment for SQL Server 2014 from Win Server 2012 Sp1 and SQL Server 2014 and build your clusters then start your Migration from Old Servers to
new servers and here below is 10 configurations outlines that you should look after carefully for any DB consolidation or migration from a server to a server and indeed they represent unique potentials for your DB Consolidation /migration service that
can leverage distinctly your service quality and shape you very well in front of your customers:
1- Backup DBs and restore DBs with ZERO down time and ZERO data loss in the same time …Awesome …!
2- Cloning all DB special features that are not covered by backups and restores such as :
RCSI (Read committed snapshot isolation level using row versioning)
Service brokers
Encryption keys and certificates
3- Cloning identically all SQL logins with their mapped DB users including their passwords (if SQL authenticated logins ) and privileges on both server and DB levels .
4- Copying .rdl and .rds files between different versions of reporting services where backup and restore reportserver and reportservertemp DBs is not an option
5- Cloning all special Jobs like certain business jobs configured to perform some business stuff .
6- Cloning all mail profiles with their mail accounts
7- Cloning all Linked server + Aliases might be used inside old DB servers
8- Cloning some server configurations like CLR ,CPU parallelism, Replication size , Network packet size , optimize for ad hoc workloads
9- Cloning all Replications configurations for publishers and subscribers
10- Cloning all DTC configurations for both local and clustered DTC services
Follow the below links to know the steps by the scripts:

I kept getting this upgrade prompt from the App Store to upgrade free to OS10 Yosemite. So I finally did on my 4 year old iMac and now it appears to be stuck just spinning on that stupid ball that means trouble and it is not progressing. Anybody got any idea what I do now? Thanks.

I don't think you would get a thing from the App Store running 10.3.x on a PowerBook. It would help if you told us what you really are using and what version of OS X you were running.
It would also help to tell us what the "stupid ball" is. In fact it would be a big help to give us a thorough and intelligible description of your situation so we don't have to guess.

Connection with SQL Server 2000 to SQL Developer 1.2 Migration Workbench

Hi all,
I keep getting the following error with setup for SQL Developer 1.2 Migration Workbench connection to SQL Server 2000 database:
"Status: Failure -Network error IOException: Connection refused:connect"
I can access the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database with username
and password using Enteprise Manager. However for some odd
reason the Oracle SQL Developer 1.2 cannot connect to it.

I was having this problem too. I'll mangle this explanation, but Our SQLServer instance was on a local server with some named DNS something. So, to get to the server, we used theservername.outdomain instead of an IP. We could never get it to connect through the named server. We got an SQLServer instance going on a server that we could connect to through a regular IP, and it connected just fine.
Also, are you using the JTDS driver, or microsofts driver? We have only been able to connect with the JTDS driver. http://jtds.sourceforge.net/

Cant run Native SQL from the New BADI enhancements

I m trying to execute a Native SQL statement from the new BADI enhancement in ECC 6.0. Its very simple piece of code
data: v_count type i.
EXEC SQL.
SELECT zvbeln
         INTO :v_count
         FROM zvi2d
         WHERE zvbeln = :'0000010476'.
ENDEXEC.
It compiles and runs perfectly fine in a regular program but in the BADI it keeps giving compile error "Field specification missing" on the SELECT zvbeln line.
In general things dont seem to work right at all in this BADI I dont understand what the problem is. This BADI is being used to populate the EDI Segments and gets called asynchronously
Thanks for reading

why would you want to use Native SQL for this, why not just do this:
SELECT zvbeln
INTO v_count
FROM zvi2d
WHERE zvbeln = '0000010476'.
result will be the same.

Error Upgrading from the Evaluation Version of Microsoft Lync Server 2013

Hi,
I try to upgrade from Evaluation to full Version using:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg521005.aspx
but after i run: msiexec.exe /fvomus server.msi EVALTOFULL=1 /qb
i get a popup:

Get-CsServerVersion :-> Microsoft Lync Server 2013 (5.0.8308.0): Evaluation license key installed.
Any ideea?

Hi Iulius
As your upgrading the Licence on the Lync 2013 FE it shouldn't care about the Lync 2010 Environment. As your moving from Eval to Full Licence on 2013. I have come across the below url that might help.
http://pei.com/2013/03/how-to-change-lync-license-from-evaluation-to-licensed/
http://jackstromberg.com/2013/02/how-to-activate-lync-evaluation-to-licensed-version/
I would personally go with from Lync Management Shell with Elevated Permission
cd /
cd /d: (Other what other drive letter)
cd /Setup\Amd64\Setup
msiexec.exe /fvomus Server.msi EVALTOFULL=1 /qb
But that's just me Id rather run the command from the directory than pointing to it.

Multiple CSV exports from the one button or pl/sql procedure?

I need to have multiple csv exports from the one press of a button. The easiest way I found to do this is it to use javascript to popup three windows, each as a CSV link. This is a bit ugly though, and leaves the browser popup windows open when the file has been downloaded.
I guess I could also make a solution based on branching, but I think that would be difficult to maintain and reeks of bad design (im not a fan of this spagetti GOTO style code!).
I implemented Scott's custom CSV as found here: http://spendolini.blogspot.com/2006/04/custom-export-to-csv.html
However I would like to know if its possible to download more than one file using this method. I could not work out how to do this .
Has anyone got any ideas? Simply repeating the code puts the second table into the original csv file. Is there a way to 'reset' the htp writer or smoething?
Any help greatly appreciated,
Alex

Sorry for the confusion - I guess I mean its easy in .NET because you can simply compress files together and then send 1 zip file down as the response. See http://www.developer.com/net/net/article.php/11087_3510026_2 for details.
I guess I could ask how to do this in APEX - but it seems to me that my original wording addresses the concept at a much more abstract level. I may not find the best solution for my problem if I just asked 'how can I dynamically zip together three tables as seperate files and send them to the client?'. I also suspect that this method is not possible in APEX without custom packages. Please prove me wrong!
I guess even if I could find some kind of javascript that didnt open a new window, but was a direct download to the CSV, that would be a good compromise. At the moment when you click on the link, three windows come up and stay blank until the files are ready for downloading. Then after the files have been downloaded the windows must be shut manually. Yes, I could use javascript to make the windows 1x1 pixel perhaps, and then shut them after a predetermined timeframe - but this is hardly an elegant solution!
Thanks for your responses.

Upgrade + migration from nw04 on windows 2000 to nw04s on windows 2008

Dear all,
I need to upgrade and migrate my nw04 java system from windows 2000 to nw04s on windows 2008.
From the PAM I can see that NW04 is not supported on windows 2008 and that nw04s (7.0) is not supported on windows 2000.
So, which is the correct upgrade path? Do I need an intermediate win 2003 server which is supported from both the releases?
Thanks and regards in advance
Federico

Hello my friend
This will be a very interesting project for sure. As you know, kernel 640 is not supported on win2008 and 700 is not supported on win2000, so here there must be a win2003 as a transition platform for this upgrade+ migration, not to mention migration from 32bit to x64 is also involved. You didn't mention the DB versions in source and target systems, as well as the SAP product you're trying to go with. Here's a brief checklist right now for what I can think of, once you're back with more details then let's make it intact:
I assume your source OS/DB is win2000SQL2000 32bit, target one is win2008SQL2008 x64.
1. Install a win2003 x64 server and SQL2000 32bit;
2. Install a new SAP instance same as your source system release in 32bit compatible mode;
note: if the system being migrated is BW, then be aware of that you might want to bring new features in SQL2008 of row compression and table partitions.
3. Detach the source DB from old SQL2000, and attach it to new SQL2000; some post configuration for DB copy will be required (STM tool). Now you've finish a migration from win2000 to win2003 32bit;
4. Start upgrading NW04 to 7.0, 640 to 700, find details in upgrade guide; Now you have your 700 instance on win2003 x64+SQL2000 32bit;
note: since release 701(700 EHP1) is available now, which you might want to upgrade instead of 700.
5. Change the collation 850BIN2 for SQL2000 32bit, detach DB;
6. Since migration from 32bit to x64 cannot be done smoothly, now you have to uninstall everything and reinstall win2003 and SQL2008 x64, followed by a new 700 or 701 instance;
7. Attach the source DB, post configuration for DB copy will be required (STM tool); Now you have your 700 or 701 instance on win2003 x64+SQL2008 x64;
8. Detach the SQL2008 DB;
9. Now go to your target win2008 OS, install SQL 2008 x64 and new 700 or 701 instance;
note: there might be some restrictions for NW 7.0 on win2008, go with the latest release (SR3 or newer).
10. Attach DB to this final OS/DB version: win2008 x64+SQL2008 x64, post configuration for DB copy will be required (STM tool).
Helpful?

Site not accessible from the Load balanced web front end server - sharepoint 2010

I have a production environment with 2 WFE's(sp-wfe1 & sp-wfe2), 2 APP's and 2 SQL clustered VM's.
2 WFE's are load balanced using hardware load balancer.
An A-Record(PORTAL) is created in DNS for the virtual IP of the load balancer which points to the 2 WFE's.
A web application is created on the WFE's on port 80.
alternative access mapping is configured and the load balanced record "http://PORTAL" is used under the default zone.
Under IIS I have edited the bindings for the sharepoint site at port 80 and added the HOSTNAME as PORTAL.
Result: The site is accessible from outside the server and works fine.
ISSUE: The site is not accessible within the WFE's(sp-wfe1 & sp-wfe2).
When I browse the site from the WFE's server it ask for the credentials and when I enter the credentials and click OK it ask the credentials again and again and in the end displays a blank page.
Kindly help me in this issue because I am clueless and couldn't find anything helpful on the internet.

HTTP post data from the Oracle database to another web server

Hi ,
I have searched the forum and the net on this. And yes I have followed the links
http://awads.net/wp/2005/11/30/http-post-from-inside-oracle/
http://manib.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/utl_http/
and Eddie Awad's Blog on the same topic. I was successful in calling the servlet but I keep getting errors.
I am using Oracle 10 g and My servlet is part of a ADF BC JSF application.
My requirement is that I have blob table in another DB and our Oracle Forms application based on another DB has to view the documents . Viewing blobs over dblinks is not possible. So Option 1 is to call a procedure passing the doc_blob_id parameter and call the web server passing the parameters.
The errors I am getting is:
First the parameters passed returned null. and
2. Since my servlet directly downloads the document on the response outputStream, gives this error.
'com.evermind.server.http.HttpIOException: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine'
Any help please. I am running out of time.
Thanks

You can use remote LOBs via a database link. However, you cannot use a local LOB variable (called a LOB <i>locator</i>) to reference a remote LOB. A LOB variable/locator is a pointer - that pointer cannot reference a LOB that resides on a remote server. So simply do not use a LOB variable locally as it cannot reference a remote LOB.
Instead provide a remote interface that can deal with that LOB remotely, dereference that pointer on the remote system, and pass the actual contents being pointed at, to the local database.
The following demonstrates the basic approach. How one designs and implements the actual remote interface, need to be decided taking existing requirements into consideration. I simply used a very basic wrapper function.

So you need to decide WHY you want the LOB on the client (which will be the local PL/SQL code in case of dealing with a LOB on a remote database)? Do you need the entire LOB? Do you need a specific piece from it? Do you need the database to first parse that LOB into a more structured data struct and then pass specific information from that struct to you? Etc.
The bottom line however is that you can use remote LOBs. Simply that you cannot use a local pointer variable to point and dereference a remote LOB.

Cannot upgrade a Server 2000 VM to Server 2003

Hello!
I have a Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 Hyper-V server, and I have a VM of an ancient Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I need to test an in-place upgrade of that VM to Server 2003 Enterprise for a legacy app.
When I attempt the in-place upgrade, it reboots normally once about half way through the upgrade and goes back into the setup, then gets to the final stages, reboots, and then I get a BSOD with 0x0000007B error, inaccessible boot device.
Has anyone here successfully done an in-place upgrade inside of a VM going from 2000 to 2003?
A fresh installation of 2003 into a VM works fine.
I cannot wrap my head around why a perfectly running 2000 VM would suddenly not be able to find the boot device when upgraded to 2003. If a fresh install of 2003 recognizes the VM and boots properly, why wouldn't it do the same in an upgrade in a VM?
I am trying other methods and have been Googling it for hours.
Thank you!

OK, I swear I don't drink booze or do drugs, but I think I may need to start! I am going to go straight to crack.
I just followed the same steps I have done five times before (definition of insanity?!), and this time, the 2000 to 2003 upgrade worked.
- Started with a fully-patched 2000 Advanced Server VM.
- Removed the Integration Services and rebooted.
- Started the 2003 upgrade from within the VM.
- Got the same black screen that I was getting before with "A disk read error occurred, "Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart" on the screen after
the first reboot
- Set the VM to boot from the CD first, then when it said "Hit any key to boot from CD," I hit a key. At that point it asked if I wanted
to continue the upgrade. Making that choice lets it continue.
- Prior to this installation, the VM would reboot half way through the installation steps, then start back up and finish the installation.
After the final reboot, it would BSOD with the 7B error. This time, it did NOT reboot at the half way mark.
- This time, for reasons unknown, the same exact steps successfully installed the upgrade.
I am going to back up this VM and try it again. Yes, I am a glutton for punishment, but I need to know WHY it worked this time.
Strange stuff!

Odd character generation in the payload from the R/3 side to PI server

Dear Experts,
The scenario is an integration from R/3 -PI- Webserver (Ext CRM server). An ABAP report is executed on the R/3 side which in turn invokes the RFC which is connected to PI server through RFC Adapter. On the receiving side the SOAP Adapter is used for connecting the External web server. Now when ABAP Report is executed on R/3 server it generates a transaction which does not gives error but the payload generated from the R/3 side is incorrect. When we check it on the PI server using the SXMB_MONI transaction, we can clearly see the odd characters like ㄲ㠸㈰㠺㔴㘱㌺ which is defined as string in the inbound message payload.ie In the payload looks like as given below.
<ns1:string>??㠸㈰㠺㔴㘱㌺</ns1:string>
Kindly advice on how to overcome such problem. Is there any setting which needs to be done on the R/3 side or on the PI server side pls let us know.
Thanking You
With Kind Regards
Sylvester

Hi,
You can change the encoding in your SOAP Adapter ...

Upgrading wordpress from the wp admin panel. How?

Hi, I have major problems getting wordpress running properly with the LAMP settings found in the wiki. Thing is, the wordpress blog runs fine, but fails when updateing, installing or upgrading from the wordpress admin panel.
I've tried chown http:http, rataxes:rataxes, root:root and even a recursive chmod 777 /srv without succeding to update via the panel. Wordpress just says: "An unknown error occurred" when installing plugins. When upgrading I get wordpress's ftp update form in which I can't figure out what to enter.
I know some of you think it's a wordpress problem, it may partly be so, but the thing is it's only happening on my newly installed Arch machine. Any clues?

Have a look at PHP's error log (should be located at /var/log/user.log). My guess is that you need to set "allow_url_fopen" to "On" in /etc/php/php.ini.
