Use custom not ConfigMgr SQL Server Identification Certificate

Hello,
I noticed that during the database creation steps in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, the SQL server's instance gets assigned a SSL Certificate called ConfigMgr SQL Server Identification Certificate. I currently have one that
I have assigned by our own PKI solution as I am pointing this to our SQL cluster.
Is there anyway to use my PKI issued certificate over the self-signed one that gets deployed by System Center during the installation process? When I use my own PKI issued certificate, System Center is unable to connect saying there is an issue with
the certificate (which I know is untrue as other applications can communicate to the cluster fine with my PKI issued certificate).
Thanks in advance!

Accidentally deleted SQL Cert "ConfigMgr SQL Server Identification Certificate"

Hi,
a customer accidentally deleted the SQL Cert which is created automatically during the SCCM setup and now SCCM is not working.
Infrastructure:
SCCM 2012, CU1
SQL 2008 R2 SP1, CU7
Both Components are on the same box.
Is the certificate stored somewhere locally or what steps are necessary, that SCCM is working fine again.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Tom

I had the same problem (tried to copy the certificate from the server to my workstation to edit the reports, ended up moving it, loosing the private key in the process)
I was able to restore the private key using this article http://www.entrust.net/knowledge-base/technote.cfm?tn=7905
and the tool certutil –repairstore my <serial number>
just in case it happens to someone else.

Hierarchy monitoring detected that the ConfigMgr SQL Server ports 1433,4022, are not active on Firewall exception

SMS_HIERARCHY_MANAGER reports (Message ID=3353):
"Hierarchy Monitoring detected that the ConfigMgr SQL Server <fqdn> ports 1433,4022, are not active on Firewall
exception."
This is a fresh SCCM 2012 environment with no firewall active. SQL is installed on the same server as SCCM 2012. Is there a way to fix this without enabling the firewall?

Check this out
Issue:
ConfigMgr logs the error even though Windows Firewall is disabled or it is enabled and all exceptions are added to SQL Server(s).
Environment: I had an environment consist of a two node SQL Cluster hosting ConfigMgr database and a separate ConfigMgr primary site server
Resolution:
Windows firewall service must be started on both SQL nodes and ConfigMgr itself . As soon as the service is started exceptions for TCP 1433 and 4022 must be added to SQL nodes firewall.
After that the firewall profiles can be disabled using:
netsh advf set allp state off
This is true but if you disable the firewall even thought you have opened the Firewall port then disabled the firewall. The status message will continue to be generated and your site server will still be in an error state.
Notice that I said "disabled" and not "turn off".

SQL Server SSL Certificate

Hi All,
I am slowly getting to the bottom of applying SSL throughout my project but am stuck in the current situation and I need help please..
Project is a Java servlet running on Windows. Java 1.6 and Tomcat 7 but connects to a SQL Server database and an Oracle database (running on unix). We have a keystore set up successfully on the servlets' server with root, intermediate certificates etc
that successfully encrypts the connection to Oracle. The server team maintaining the server hosting the SQL Server database have supplied me with an SSL certificate, I am told is for accessing the SQL Server database. I am assuming it is a public key certificate.
I am trying to apply this certificate to encrypt the network traffic to the SQL Server database. I have attempted to import the certificate into the keystore mentioned above using the Java keytool but this does not work so I deleted the certificate from
the keystore again. I found the URL below which I have followed to install the certificate through MMC but cannot find how to now force Tomcat to encrypt the network traffic.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316898
Can someone please tell me what I am missing here please? There is loads of guidance on setting up keystores with root and intermediate certificates etc, but I cannot find any guidance on what to do in Tomcat to use a single provided SSL certificate. Do
I use the Java cacerts file and import the certificate in there?
Thanks in advance
Regards
AJF

Hi SQL Team - MSFT
Thank you for your response.
I have been looking at this further. I have only been given one SSL certificate which I am assuming because it has a file format of ".cer" it is the public key for the certificate on the server hosting the SQL server database. For this to work
they way we want, the "clients" will not have SQL Server Configuration Manager installed, but instead will have the SSL certificate mention above stored in a Keystore set up with the "Keytool" in the Java JRE.
I am unsure how the guys who manage the server hosting the SQL server database have set up the SSL certificate, i.e. if they have set up a root and intermediate certificate etc. I am currently trying to get information out of them (They are not
located immdiately near my location). I have a funny feeling they have not set up the SSL at their end correctly, and I am wondering if they have just imported into the servers browser, the same public key certificate they forwarded to me. When
you say "you have to first export the Trusted Root Certificate Authority from the server and import this to the client", what part of the SSL certificate(s) do you mean?
Do you mean the Certificate Authority root certificate and I have to import that into the client as well as the public key certificate?
I look forward to you next feedback.

I can telnet the SQL port from secondary server. The log you mention only exist at primary server and nothing suspicious. Do I have to add the computer account secondary server to the SQL DB with same permission for primary server ?
I have another environment that have SQL+SCCM primary in same box, I have secondary server too, but at the site system status there is no ConfigMgr SQL server. Is it correct ? So I mean the ConfigMgr SQL Server only exist at the secondary server if we use
SQL remotely ?

You don't require SQL for Secondary servers. And I don't think, you need to add secondary servers system account to SQL.

Can we use different Databases (Oracle & SQL Server) in one report?

Post Author: venki5star
CA Forum: .NET
Hi there.
Can we use different databases (Oracle & SQL Server) in a same report?
If possible how?
Another question,
Can we change the Provider Name at runtime of the given report. If so the above question is useless...
Thanks in Advance.

I tried this using Oracle Provider for OLEDB (the one that supplied by Oracle Client) and Crystal Reports 9. you can drag the column into designer but the image does not appear in preview.
I guess it's because CR does not recognized it as image, and there are no information that the blob data is an image at all.

(new?) performance problem using jDriver after a Sql Server 6.5 to 2000 conversion

Hi,
This is similar - yet different - to a few of the old postings about performance
problems with using jdbc drivers against Sql Server 7 & 2000.
Here's the situation:
I am running a standalone java application on a Solaris box using BEA's jdbc driver
to connect to a Sql Server database on another network. The application retrieves
data from the database through joins on several tables for approximately 40,000
unique ids. It then processes all of this data and produces a file. We tuned
the app so that the execution time for a single run through the application was
24 minutes running against Sql Server 6.5 with BEA's jdbc driver. After performing
a DBMS conversion to upgrade it to Sql Server 2000 I switched the jDriver to the
Sql Server 2000 version. I ran the app and got an alarming execution time of
5hrs 32 min. After some research, I found the problem with unicode and nvarchar/varchar
and set the "useVarChars" property to "true" on the driver. The execution time
for a single run through the application is now 56 minutes.
56 minutes compared to 5 1/2 hrs is an amazing improvement. However, it is still
over twice the execution time that I was seeing against the 6.5 database. Theoretically,
I should be able to switch out my jdbc driver and the DBMS conversion should be
invisible to my application. That would also mean that I should be seeing the
same execution times with both versions of the DBMS. Has anybody else seen a
simlar situation? Are there any other settings or fixes that I can put into place
to get my performance back down to what I was seeing with 6.5? I would rather
not have to go through and perform another round of performance tuning after having
already done this when the app was originally built.
thanks,
mike

Joe,
This was actually my next step. I replaced the BEA driver with
the MS driver and let it run through with out making any
configuration changes, just to see what happened. I got an
execution time of about 7 1/2 hrs (which was shocking). So,
(comparing apples to apples) while leaving the default unicode
property on, BEA ran faster than MS, 5 1/2 hrs to 7 1/2 hrs.
I then set the 'SendStringParametersAsUnicode' to 'false' on the
MS driver and ran another test. This time the application
executed in just over 24 minutes. The actual runtime was 24 min
16 sec, which is still ever so slightly above the actual runtime
against SS 6.5 which was 23 min 35 sec, but is twice as fast as the
56 minutes that BEA's driver was giving me.
I think that this is very interesting. I checked to make sure that
there were no outside factors that may have been influencing the
runtimes in either case, and there were none. Just to make sure,
I ran each driver again and got the same results. It sounds like
there are no known issues regarding this?
We have people looking into things on the DBMS side and I'm still
looking into things on my end, but so far none of us have found
anything. We'd like to continue using BEA's driver for the
support and the fact that we use Weblogic Server for all of our
online applications, but this new data might mean that I have to
switch drivers for this particular application.Thanks. No, there is no known issue, and if you put a packet sniffer
between the client and DBMS, you will probably not see any appreciable
difference in the content of the SQL sent be either driver. My suspicion is
that it involves the historical backward compatibility built in to the DBMS.
It must still handle several iterations of older applications, speaking obsolete
versions of the DBMS protocol, and expecting different DBMS behavior!
Our driver presents itself as a SQL7-level application, and may well be treated
differently than a newer one. This may include different query processing.
Because our driver is deprecated, it is unlikely that it will be changed in
future. We will certainly support you using the MS driver, and if you look
in the MS JDBC newsgroup, you'll see more answers from BEA folks than
from MS people!
Joe

The next test you should do, to isolate the issue, is to try another
JDBC driver.
MS provides a type-4 driver now, for free. If it is significantly faster,
it would be
interesting. However, it would still not isolate the problem, because
we still would
need to know what query plan is created by the DBMS, and why.
Joe Weinstein at BEA
PS: I can only tell you that our driver has not changed in it's semantic
function.
It essentially send SQL to the DBMS. It doesn't alter it.

Transact-SQL debugger not working in SQL Server 2008: "...debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier..."

I have recently installed SQL Server 2008. When I try to execute a query against an Access database, I receive this debugging error:
"Unable to start Transact-SQL debugger. The Transact-SQL debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier versions of SQL Server. (SQLEditors)"
Nor will the query execute; I get a transport-level error 0. Any thoughts?

Hi Davidmhjr,
>>Unable to start the Transact-SQL Debugger. The Transact-SQL Debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier versions of SQL Server. (SQLEditors).
Have you tried to restart the server once you have installed SQL Server 2008? As Naomi N mentioned please check the version of SQL Server you are using.
If you tried to connect to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2008 SSMS, you would not be able to debug and get this error, it happens because T-SQL debugger includes both server-side and client-side components. The server-side debugger components are installed
with each instance of the SQL Server 2008 Database Engine. The client-side components are installed when you install the SQL Server 2008 client-side tools.
So it works with SQL Server 2008 only so far. Another way is you can triy to use SQL Server 2005 SSMS to connect to SQL Server 2005.
More information about configuration requirement to run T-SQL debugger as below, please refer:
There are no configuration requirements to run the Transact-SQL debugger when SQL Server Management Studio is running on the same computer as the instance of the SQL Server Database Engine. However, to run the Transact-SQL debugger when SQL Server Management
Studio is running on a different computer from the instance of the Database Engine, you must enable program and port exceptions by using the Windows Firewall Control Panel application on both computers.
On the computer that is running the instance of the Database Engine, in Windows Firewall, specify the following information:
•Add TCP port 135 to the exceptions list.
•Add the program sqlservr.exe to the exceptions list. By default, sqlservr.exe is installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.InstanceName\MSSQL\Binn, where InstanceName is MSSQLSERVER for the default instance, and the instance name for
any named instance.
•If the domain policy requires network communications to be done through IPsec, you must also add UDP port 4500 and UDP port 500 to the exception list.
On the computer that is running SQL Server Management Studio, in Windows Firewall, specify the following information:
•Add TCP port 135 to the exceptions list.
•Add program ssms.exe (SQL Server Management Studio) to the exceptions list. By default, ssms.exe is installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE.
Hope it is helpful.

JSP using BC4J with MS SQL Server

I use JDevelop to develop my JSP apps with BC4J. When I Run a JSP app, the error happened.
The error message is [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Can't start a cloned connection while in manual transaction mode.
Who can tell me what the error message means? Or What error might happened to my code?
What parameter I should setup? Or What code I should change?

There is a "how to" that addresses this issue
with SQL*Server:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/howtos/bc4j/bc_psqlserverwalkthrough.html
You need to qualify your jdbc URL: (this is from the howto)
On the Connection page, enter the Java class name and the URL.
Java class name: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
URL: jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<db-host>:1433;SelectMethod=cursor
Note: There's a semicolon before SelectMethod=cursor.
Note on Select Method: From the MS SQL Server documentation: SelectMethod={cursor | direct} determines whether or not Microsoft SQL Server "server cursors" are used for SQL queries. Setting SelectMethod to direct allows SQL statements to be executed without incurring server-side overhead for managing a database cursor over the SQL statement. Direct mode is the most efficient for executing Select statements; however, applications are limited to a single active statement while executing inside a transaction. If multiple result sets are required from a single query execution, then the application must set SelectMethod to direct.

Using Ranking on MS SQL Server 2005

Hello,
We are on BOXI3.1 base version and have a universe on top of MS SQL Server 2005.
My question is regarding use of rank functions. BO guides state that
You can perform a database ranking only if your database supports
it. If this is not the case, the Add a database ranking button is disabled on
the Query Panel toolbar. Databases that support ranking are Oracle, DB2,
Terradata and Redbrick.
So SQL Server is not in the list. However the add database ranking button is enabled on
my report panel. If i add a ranking the query runs for a long time and times-out.
Is there any universe parameter i need to enable to use ranking? Has any-one mangaged to
use ranking functionality with SQL Server 2005.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bashir Awan,
When we create this Object (using your example) at Universe level is the ranking hardcoded ?
My questions is, say i have Product object (with values A, B, C, D, E), and sales aggregated (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100)
Say the table is as follows
Product;        sales
    A;               10
    A;                70*
    B;                 50
    B;                 20*
    C;                 30
    C;                 60*
    D;                 40
    D;                 90
    E;                 80
    E;                100
Note: * represents Oversees sales outside US
Case 1: Now when we rank whole data to select top 3 we should get (E, D, C in Desc order)
Case 2: Now if I apply prompt on Country of sales as US will I get (E, B, D) or is it still (E, D, C as earlier).
Case 3: Similarly if I apply prompt on Product (no prompt on Country) in the filter pane and select (A, D, E) will my results show (E, D, A) or (E, D) as the value of A may be restricted due to ranking formula based on sales at Universe level.
I am sorry I may be asking a very basic question. Thanks
Sudhir.

CR 2008 SP3 FP 3.4 does not provide SQL Server Native Client 10.0

One of my clients is running Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.4 on a Windows 2008 R2 server and is running MS SQL 2008 (not R2) on a separate Windows 2008 R2 server. This was installed to correct printer issues. As expected, they started getting errors on some that use dates in the record selection formula.
I informed them that we needed to change the data connection driver from "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server' to "SQL Server Native Client 10.0". When they go in to create a new data connection the OLE DB (ADO) Provider list does not list "SQL Server Native Client 10.0" as an option.
As I understand it from another thread on this site, this OLE DB client version is required for CR 2008 to properly interface with SQL 2008 and that it should be available after installing FP 3.2 or 3.3. I made sure that they installed all fix packs in their released order.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Hello,
Actually there is:
{tblCaseData.CloseCodeID} = 2
and {tblCaseData.CaseSplitTrusteeCode} 'A'
and {%sql_Adj341Date} >= {?pf_BeginDate}
and {%sql_Adj341Date} < DateAdd ( 'd', 1, {?pf_EndDate} )
and {%sql_CountACH} = 0
and {%sql_CountNameIDParties} = 0
and {%sql_CourtWageDir} = 0
{%sql_Adj341Date} >= {?pf_BeginDate} and {%sql_Adj341Date} < DateAdd ( 'd', 1, {?pf_EndDate} ) is the result of NOT statement.
Try something like this:
{tblCaseData.CloseCodeID} = 2
and {tblCaseData.CaseSplitTrusteeCode} 'A'
and ({%sql_Adj341Date} >= {?pf_BeginDate}
and {%sql_Adj341Date} < DateAdd ( 'd', 1, {?pf_EndDate} ))
and {%sql_CountACH} = 0
and {%sql_CountNameIDParties} = 0
and {%sql_CourtWageDir} = 0
I added AND/OR/NOT etc. logic to:
and ({%sql_Adj341Date} >= {?pf_BeginDate}
and {%sql_Adj341Date} < DateAdd ( 'd', 1, {?pf_EndDate} ))
You'll have to figure out what the correct bracketing should be for your data and what you want to get out of it. Possibly moving the date part to the end of the selection formula will "fix" this.
Thank you
Don

Using Creator to Access SQL Server

Hello,
I recently picked up Creator while at JavaOne. Got it installed on my local system at home that also runs SQL Server 2000. I've tried setting up a data source to access several databases within SQL Server but I consistently get the following error:
"Login Failed for User <my User ID>: Reason: NOt associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
I'm not a SQL Server expert by any means and had it installed on my desktop but never really made much use of it. Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Cody

Sounds like you have your SQL Server authentication set to "Windows Only" .. Change the security settings in SQL to mixed mode (SQL Server and Windows) ,create a login in SQL server, and it should work for you.

Error when using Oracle Migration WorkBench (Sql Server 2k to Oracle 8i)
