Getting an error while restoring logs in LOG SHIPPING environment

Hi. I'm having trouble getting DBmail to work on a SQL 2005 SP3 STD. (64-bit) installation. I've setup database mail with the wizard. I've tested sending an e-mail using telnet -> OK!   But when I try to send a test e-mail from the sql server management studio I the message is queued, and the Windows Event Viewer logs an error like this: *************************************** Event Type: Error Event Source: DatabaseMail Event Category: None Event ID: 0 Date:  27-08-2010 Time:  10:01:23 User:  N/A Computer: <My_servername> Description: 1) Exception Information =================== Exception Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.Common.BaseException Message: There was an error on the connection.

Hi, I just came across a situtation where one of my application is trying to connect SQL box and is failing because of permission. It is writing audit failure to the Error log file. Can anyone please explain what would be the effect of this continous writing to error log. Does it affect performance of SQL Server in any ways or if there is a way i can check.Regards, Deven ----------------------------------------- Please vote if you find any of my post helpful.

I'm trying to restore a copy of a database that has a filestream and am getting the error below. I've tried with move option to specify a new path and left it with default path, neither worked. Did a trace with procmon, didn't see anything. FileStream1 is a new folder that the restore process creates. I've deleted the folder, tried it with a new name, re-took the backup from the source machine, restarted SQL, rebooted the machine, drive permissions are open. I've run out of ideas on how to debug further. Looking up the error online wasn't much help either. Msg 3634, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The operating system returned the error '32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)' while attempting 'OpenFile' on 'X:\Data\FileStream1\4ecb2e48-0eee-4c99-a3f0-f1e6c7f00b24\f2efe374-9481-4c1b-a7f2-dcdcee350807\0000001b-0000aaa6-00f6'.

Hi, I am using a temp table in my sp. I have written the following tsql before and after using the temp table. IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##TEMP') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE tempdb..##TEMP; Data will be inserted to the temp table consecutively using a cursor. I use SELECT * INTO tempdb..##TEMP FROM EXEC('query') to fill this temp table for the first time and INSERT INTO tempdb..##TEMP(<fields>) EXEC('query') for the remaining times. The SP is working fine in my laptop, but I am getting an Invalid Object error on this temp table name in the production server. Could anyone tell me the possible causes please? Thanks Sree

Hi Experts, We have an Asp.net web application, which is deployed in shared hosting environment. On shared hosting environment initial request to this web application is handled by Linux server and then based on the requested page the Linux server is redirecting request to web server on windows OS.

Hi all, I've installed SQL Server 2008 SP1 CU9 developer edition and SQL Server 2008 R2 Express side by side on my machine.

Hi! I'm trying to publish an Excel workbook which loads data from SQL Server. The result is: no data loaded in the workbook and no error logged on Sharepoint logs. Notice that if I try to refresh the workbook in Office Excel all works fine! I try to set up Windows Authentication, None (to use unattended account) and with .odc file but with no result! The procedure I follow is: 1) create a new Excel file and create new data connection to the database (SQL Server 2008) 2) upload the file in the trusted file location 3) open the file in a web part and click on the "refresh all" button I used the same unattended account which I setup for this purpose with BCS and it works fine! I also try to set with PowerShell the Application ID created ("ES"): "set-spexcelserviceapplication -identity 6d871d92-19dd-4421-b33b-0012f9a5ea18 -unattendedaccountapplicationid ES" with no result. I noticed that the identity of the Excel Service application shown in the Central Administration isn't in the IIS Application Pool list: could it be the problem? I also tried to delete / re-create the application but the two IDs remains disequal! Have someone of you already worked with Excel Services and could give me any help? Thanx in advance, Elena

Not sure what the correct etiquit is for this. The thread I asked my question in last Friday was previously closed by a moderator, and I suspect that is why it's not getting answered.  Since I posted, there have been enough other people with the same issue posting to push it into the popular thread list. So I'm starting a new thread.  (Not sure what would be a better procedure.) Original thread is here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfxsetup/thread/4cb39c00-b038-45b2-bf38-2016a906570e Here was my question: This service was installed in a recent auto update on my SBS 2003 server and it was installed with automatic startup.  But it just starts up and shuts right back down.  The same occurs on my XP dev machines. Because of that my daily server report is showing: Auto-started Services Not Running Service Name Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319_X86 Total auto-started services not running: 1 In normal conditions, these services should be running. For details, it is recommended that you review errors in the Event log related to the service.   It's a annoyance to have that in the daily server reports.  (I want to see all green items) Since starting up and immediately shutting down, appears to be the normal behavior for this service. (That's also what it does on XP. And the .net 4 full installation verifies as being

Hi all

I'm having a problem in sharepoint when trying to create a new site from a custom template - I am getting the below error:

Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

 

Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.

Correlation ID: [long hex code]

 

However when I look in the ULS logs there is no mention of this correlation ID. I have turned the logs up to Verbose on everything, then reproduced the error, and still I can't find the error. Is it possible that this error is coming from another subsystem like ASP or IIS? I have looked in the IIS logs and can find the HTTP requests but nothing to do with why the error occurs.

Any help would be appreciated - I feel like if I could find the correlation ID I could at least start to work out what the error is!

Many thanks

Andy

I'm restoring several sql 2000 user databases on a sql 2008 r2 box, but sometimes I receive the following error

Error: 928, Severity: 20, State: 1

During upgrade, database raised exception 156, severity 25, state 1, address 0000000001C05A9F. Use the exception number to determine the cause.

So the error occured after the restore and while upgrading the database schema from version: 539 to 661.

However I notice that if I try to restore it again with the same statement, sometimes it goes sometimes it doesn't.

I'm not finding any 823,824 or 825 errors on SQL log.

The database compatibility level is 80.

While running Upgrade Adivsor on the database I saw 27 objects that use the older outer join sintax *=. However being that just a warning I don't think that's the cause, moreover because if I retry sometimes the restore completes succesfully.

Does anybody knows what is this?

Is this the I/O subsystem failing?

Why is this intermitent?

How do I fix it?

 

Thanks in advance.

Gabriel
