Veritas MS SQL differential backup interrupt MS SQL Native differential backup

I have MS SQL 2005 Enterprise edition and I am taking weekly(Every Sunday) full backup and daily differential backup using Veritas backup tool.
Now I got request from application team to take SQL native full backup on Tuseday and daily differential backup till next 2 days(i.e., till Thursday.) and keep intact current veritas backup strategy of daily differential and weekly full backup
Now my question is will My MS SQL differential native backup will hamper by daily Veritas SQL differential backup or vice versa.
Thanks in Advance!!!!!

Hi,
You should ask Veritas about this question whether Veritas backup would affect SQL Server backup or not I guess it will do.
Now a solution here can be
copy only backup. But unfortunately there is no meaning of differential copy only backup but you can take copy only log backup. What copy only backup does is it does not affect the current backup sequence which is occurring neither effects the restore.
Now since you already have full and diff backup in place why cant you use Veritas backup.

Error updating data source from SQL Server ODBC into SQL Native Client 10.0

I am converting Crystal 8.5 reports into Crystal XI release 2. The data source was ODBC using SQL Server 2000 and pointing to a stored procedure. In the new server the data source has to be ODBC again, but it uses the SQL Native Client 10.0 Driver, because the new server is SQL Server 2008. I have copied the same old stored procedure on the new server and it works fine as a data source to a brand new Crystal XI report. But when I am opening an existing 8.5 version crystal report and updating the data source to the new location I get the error message "Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source".
I thought I could tackle this error by creating a temporary data source using the standard ODBC SQL Driver linked to the SQL 2008 Server instead of the SQL Native Client 10 ODBC. So I first updated the crystal data source to link to this temp ODBC using SQL Driver and it worked fine. But after that, when I try to update the data source to link to the SQL Native Client 10 ODBC, I get the same error again.
So I guess that the problem is not the new server itself, but the switch between SQL Server ODBC and SQL Native Client 10 ODBC.
Does anyone know what's going on with this SQL Native Client 10 in updating crystal report data sources?

CR XI does not support that driver. Try selecting the Native driver or upgrade to CR XI R2 for free and use SP4, 5 and 6 and then FP 6.4 or upgrade to CR 2008 and SP 3 and Fix Pack 3.3
Thank you

ODBC Connection problem with SQL Native Client driver with CR 11

I am having an issue connecting my crystal reports to an ODBC connection that uses the SQL Native Client driver (Version 2005.90.2047.00). My reports work fine when using the SQL Server driver (Version 2000.85.3006.00). The ODBC connection is setup to use Integrated Windows Authentication and is defaulted to go to the correct database. When I test the ODBC connection in the 'ODBC Data Source Adminstrator' it connects fine.
The reports are trying to connect to stored procedures on a SQL Server 2005 database. I can log onto the ODBC connection in CR X1. When I try to set the Datasource connection for one of my reports to the ODBC connection I created, I get the following error:
'Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodified tables.'
When I drill down to the SP and try to update the datasource location of the SP directly I get the following errors:
'Data Object cannot be opened/accessed'
and
'Unknown Database Connector Error'
As I said, I don't have any problems when using the SQL Server 2000 driver. One other thing to mention, when I initially connect to the ODBC connection in CR X1 with the SQL Native Client driver, it asks for a username and password. I leave these blank since I'm using Windows Authentication.
Any advice would be appreciated.
System:
Windows XP
Service Pack 3
Crystal Reports XI:
Product Version 11.0.0.1282

Hi Jeff,
I just tried to create a new report using the native driver and there is no option to use Trusted Authentication. This would be why it's failing.
I don't believe we fully supported Native driver in Cr XI. Try downloading CR Xi R2 and install SP6 from this info:
Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
I tested it in R2 and the Trusted Authentication option is there so your reports should work.
Thank you
Don

SQL Native Client 11 (ODBC) - SQL Server 2012 - MS DTC - Transaction Promotion

Hi and thanks for any help in advance,
Does the SQL Native Client (ODBC) resource manager support automatic transaction promotion? I don't see anyway to get this to work using the ODBC API or the MS DTC API.
I have a connection that enlisted into a local transaction (setting auto commit to false). Then I get another call that is part of the same transaction but to a different server. So I try to enlist the first connection handle into a new distributed
transaction but that fails with the error code 25000 - which seems to indicate that promotion is not possible. Am I missing some other API call?
Any help appreciated.

For .Net yes. If you are using SQL Native client and ODBC - the Enlist keyword is not supported in the connection string. For .Net System.Transaction takes care of doing the promotion for you if required. What I am asking is how that is
achieved using SQL Native client API and the MS DTC using C++?

How to set default SQL Native Client in SAP BO?

Hello,
is there any possibility to set default SQL Native Client? We must have two SQL NC installed unfortunately, 2005 and 2008. Issue is, that SAP BO chooses the 2008 by default and user must manually switch to 2005 to see pre-defined instances. Is there any way how to select SQL NC 2005 as default? Many thanks
Best regards,
Joe

Hi,
Try this procedures.
1. Dont open your SBO program.
2. Goto C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\Conf\ folder
3. Delete file b1-local-machine.xml
4. Log to SBO program.
5. Apply all necessary authentication then select SQL_2008 then log.
6. After logging exit to SBO program.
7. Re-log again if SQL_2008 is already in default.
Thanks.

MS-SQL Server 2005 SP1 vs MS-SQL Native Client 2008 or 2012

Hello,
I woud like to know if it's possible to use on a computer Windows Seven, the MS-SQL Native Client 2008 or 2012, and connect it on a MS-SQL Server 2005 (under Windows 2003 enterprise).
Regards,

Hello,
Yes, the SQL Server Native client is backward compatible, means you can use Client 2008 or higher to connect to a SQL Server 2005.
With some limitations the client is also forward compatible, means you can use a client 2005 to connect to SQL Server 2008 and higher; but the client isn't aware of new server features.

Parameter list in SQL native queries

I need to migrate from Toplink 10 to EclipseLink.
In my "old" project, I have some SQL native queries like '...... where field in #pFieldValues'
#pFieldValues is an arraylist/vector.
It was working perfectly with TopLink 10, but now it fails with 'Oracle Error' 'Invalid column type'.
How can I achieve this now with EclipseLink? (I don't want to use EJBQL queries (or JPQL queries).

PL/SQL Native Compilation - not working!

I'm at my wits end here.
Oracle 10.2.0.3 under Windows Server 2003 (i know, i know...) and a whole lot of procedural PL/SQL that I think could benefit from native compilation. I've done this on Linux/unix environments a few times but never imagined it would be quite so painful under Windows.
Ended up using Visual C++ 2003 (7.1 compiler) which compiled everything. MinGW wouldn't compile everything, lots of undefined references to _setjmp and others, but that's a different subject.
Anyway, after two days of dealing with issues, I finally get things to compile. The .dll is created. The init parameters say we're native. The test procedure is recompiled as native, and verified in dba_plsql_object_settings. As far as I am aware, native compilation is present and working. But when I run the thing.... performance is the same. Recompile as interpreted... same. Recompile as native again... same. This is demo code here, simple loop, the kind of thing that is 10x faster on my Linux environment.
Basically the behavior is as though native compilation just isn't working... the DLL isn't working. Funny thing is that it -was- working earlier with the same code... right up until I bounced the box. Now I am dead in the water with no log file, no trace, nothing... just a non-functional native compilation feature.
Any ideas? Anyone else struggle with this?
Bob

SELECT name, value
FROM gv$parameter
WHERE name LIKE '%code%';
Did you do this before you bounced the database?
ALTER SYSTEM SET plsql_compiler_flags = 'NATIVE';
or
ALTER SESSION SET plsql_compiler_flags = 'NATIVE';when perhaps you should have done this:
ALTER SYSTEM SET plsql_code_type = 'NATIVE' SCOPE=BOTH;

Using dynamic SQL (native) in triggers.

Hi All:
As a part of client requirement, I need to capture all column data from tables when rows get deleted. I am using a single table to capture deleted column data (not concatenated but one column data per row).
I am using native dynamic SQL as I need to get the most recent column list for any table from USER_TAB_COLUMNS table. Somehow, Oracle does not allow me to use :old.xxx syntax when doing a EXECUTE IMMEDIATE insert_statment;
Can't I use native dynamic SQL in triggers to refer to :old and :new values?
Thanks,
Sankar.

No, you cannot use NDS to refer to the :old values. You can use the data dictionary to automate the writing of the audit trigger code itself though. Hi Todd,
Can you please explain your comment about using the data dictionary to automate writing the audit trigger code..
Thanks.

10g pl/sql native os interaction?

i've seen some indication that pl/sql interaction with the host os is native in 10g?
is it now possible for one to list the contents of an os directory and loop through returned values processing each file and deleting them all from a simple pl/sql api?
any information most apprecitated.

You can, yes. It would, however, require writing some Java stored procedures that would do the actual interaction with the host OS and generate the listing of the OS directory. You could then call that from PL/SQL, as in

Native SQL log backup

Hello,
I'm wondering if I can take SQL native log backup every 15mins in addition to DPM backups. We're using DPM for both databases (daily) and logs (every 15min). Will it break anything in DPM if I take log backup separately and we
won't be able to restore database point it time?
Thanks,
Brian

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
What did not work
1. Rerun of backup job resulted in same error message.
2. Manual backup failed with below error message and that showd me further way.
==============================================================
Msg 4214, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.
==============================================================
What Worked
1. Checked the full backup and found it be running with non native i.e through a third party tool – “BMC Backtrack”. There was no error in previous full backup.
2. Because of below message I thought that there might be a problem in updating full db backup flag I took a Full Native backup and that ran fine
“BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.”
3. After the full backup I manually ran Tran log backup, which also ran succeessfully.
4. Subsequent job transaction log backups are running ok now.
Wondering what might have went wrong and what other things that I missed to check???

Backup using Backup-SPFarm alongside SQL backups

Hi all,
At present I have SharePoint 2010 running on a server with it's databases off on a SQL server that hosts not only the SharePoint databases but a load more as well. I have full and transaction log backups of the databases running via the native SQL
tools, so the databases for SharePoint are covered.
Knowing that this doesn't cover me in a disaster from the SharePoint side I'm going to use Backup-SPFarm as well, but in my testing I've noticed that Backup-SPFarm and SQL native backups get into a bit of an argument when it comes to diff backups:
"The previous full SQL backup for the database Search_Service_Application_LinksStoreDB_28ce0f29952746c2931decf12e91a0e1 was performed by another backup tool and may not be restored correctly."
So what I'm currently planning on doing is leaving SQL to handle the database level backups, and to use Backup-SPFarm with the configurationonly switch. That way in the event of an emergency I would restore the dbs and then restore the SP backup.
My question really is then, will this work? Is doing the Backup-SPFarm with configurationonly switch plus the SQL backups (plus a backup of the VM running SharePoint to get web.configs etc) enough, or does running configurationonly actually stop something
else essential from backing up as well that I haven't now accounted for?
Many thanks,
Luke

The OP's question was about Backup-SPFarm with the -configurationonly switch. In that case, Backup-SPFarm certainly does not do "full/incremental SQL database backups," and cannot "replace the standard SQL backup tools for SharePoint databases."
Backup-SPFarm -configurationonly has significant limitations and cannot be used as your only form of farm configuration backup. (Limitations are detailed
here.)
In regards to backing up VMs, backing up VMs *is* supposed to be supported in certain contexts. According to
Technet, "you can create a warm standby solution by making sure that you consistently and frequently create virtual images of the servers in your farm that you ship to a secondary location."
I discussed this very question with a Microsoft PFE who said that using VM snapshots as a disaster-recovery component is not supported. (He referenced
this article.) I asked him about the conflict between the article and TechNet, and he said that TechNet is authoritative.
The key is that your snapshots must be taken of the entire SharePoint stack with all your farm servers and SQL shut down. This limitation means that content freshness will be an issue on restore, but in my opinion, it should be possible to find a DR solution
that utilizes a combination of cold VM snapshots and content freshening from content DB backups.
It would need careful testing for your specific environment, however.

SQL Server upgrade with merge replication

We are planning to upgrade SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2012 and both the databases will be hosted on two different servers. SQL Server 2005 has around 25 merge publication and have around 400 laptops that subscribe to these publications. The new SQL server
2012 will also have same replication setup as the old server. The data base size on the existing server is 66 GB and takes about 1.5 hrs for initial sync up.
Due to various business constraints we can't move over to new server in a single switch. Instead we need to keep both the servers running for a month or two. During this process, we need to replicate (uni-directional) data from SQL server 2005 to SQL server
2012 on a daily basis. To achieve this we have tried the following approaches so far:
DB backup and restore from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 server - In this approach, the publications are dropped by SQL 2012 after we restore.
SQL native replication - Could not setup Transactional, Merge and Snapshot replication due SQL server constraints. Cannot setup merge replication between SQL 2005(publisher) and SQL 2012(subscriber)
Microsoft Sync framework – Sync fwk expects identify column or primary key for the sync to work but database has 76 tables without any primary key
SSIS – DB consists of 170 tables and will require significant effort to write and maintain the package to sync update and delete operations on the DB. Insert operations on the other hand are easy to support.
We are looking for different options to setup server to server replication with given constraints.

You will need to use some form of change tracking to gather the changes up and replay them on the SQL 2012 server.
You can hack into the msmerge_Contents and msmerge_tombstone to do this. It will be fairly laborious to set up, but it is doable. You can do this as a batch operation so you can run it nightly to do your syncs.
A lower tech way of doing it would be to run tablediff between the two servers and then replay the script nightly.
