I have setup SQL mail on SQL 7 sp3 running on NT 4 sp6a using a POP3 account (Lotus Notes 5.03 Domino Server.) I can bring up Outlook (2002) and send/receive works. Also, if I send a test mail from Operators this works as well. The problem is when using xp_sendmail the thing just hangs (xp_sendmail 'dmccallie@olanmills', 'Test') and I am left with a couple of processes in SQL that I can't kill. Is SQL mail really this hard or is it just a POS? I had been using a domain administrator account to start MSSQLServer and MSSQLAgent so I created a new domain account SQLSrvr with the same results.
Thanks in advance and any help would be great...DeWayne
We are attempting to use Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer Version 9.00.2047.00 to run a BCP command from a Process task. We are able to do so without a problem when running it interactively, but when run as a SQL Server Agent job the bcp process never completes and the job hangs indefinitely.
We also tried using a Script task for this, with the same result.
I was trying to extract data from the source server using OLEDB Source and SQL Server Destination when i encountered this error:
"Transaction (Process ID 135) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.".
What must be done so that even if the table being queried is locked, i wouldn't experience any deadlock?
Hello all, I am running into an interesting scenario on my desktop. I'm running developer edition on Windows XP Professional (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Developer Edition). OS is autopatched via corporate policy and I saw some patches go in last week. This machine is also a hand-me-down so I don't have a clean install of the databases on the machine but I am local admin.
So, starting last week after a forced remote reboot (also a policy) I noticed a few of the databases didn't start back up. I chalked it up to the hard shutdown and went along my merry way. Friday however I know I shut my machine down nicely and this morning when I booted up, I was in the same state I was last Wenesday. 7 of the 18 databases on my machine came up with
FCB:pen: Operating system error 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) occurred while creating or opening file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation. and it also logs FCB:pen failed: Could not open file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.).
I've caught references to the auto close feature being a possible culprit, no dice as the databases in question are set to False. Recovery mode varies on the databases from Simple to Full. If I cycle the SQL Server service, whatever transient issue it was having with those files is gone. As much as I'd love to disable the virus scanner, network security would not be amused. The data and log files appear to have the same permissions as unaffected database files. Nothing's set to read only or archive as I've caught on other forums as possible gremlins. I have sufficient disk space and the databases are set for unrestricted growth.
Any thoughts on what I could look at? If it was everything coming up in RECOVERY_PENDING it's make more sense to me than a hit or miss type of thing I'm experiencing now.
Dear list Im designing a package that uses Microsofts preplog.exe to prepare web log files to be imported into SQL Server
What Im trying to do is convert this cmd that works into an execute process task D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad>preplog ex.log > out.log the above dos cmd works 100%
However when I use the Execute Process Task I get this error [Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoadpreplog.exe" "" at "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad", The process exit code was "-1" while the expected was "0".
There are two package varaibles User::gsPreplogInput = ex.log User::gsPreplogOutput = out.log
How do I use the execute process task? I am trying to unzip the file using the freeware PZUnzip.exe and I tried to place the entire command in a batch file and specified the working directory as the location of the batch file, but the task fails with the error:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC0029151 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: In Executing "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeeklyUnzip.bat" "" at "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeekly", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Then I tried to specify the exe directly in the Executable property and the agruments as the location of the zip file and the directory to unzip the files in, but this time it fails with the following message:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "%1 is not a valid Win32 application".
The command in the batch file when run from the command line works perfectly and unzips the file, so there is absolutely no problem with the command, I believe it is just the set up of the variables on the execute process task editor under Process. Any input on resolving this will be much appreciated.
I am designing a utility which will keep two similar databases in sync. In other words, copying the new data from db1 to db2 and updating the old data from db1 to db2.
For this I am making use of the 'Tablediff' utility which when provided with server name, database, table info will generate .sql file which can be used to keep the target table in sync with the source table.
I am using the Execute Process Task and the process parameters I am providing are:
The customer.bat file will have the following code: tablediff -sourceserver "LV-SQL5" -sourcedatabase "TC_CTI" -sourcetable "CUSTOMER_1" -destinationserver "LV-SQL2" -destinationdatabase "TC_CTI" -destinationtable "CUSTOMER" -f "c:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1"
the .sql file will be generated at: C:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1.
The Problem: The Execute Process Task is working fine, ie., the tables are being compared correctly and the .SQL file is being generated as desired. But the task as such is reporting faliure with the following error :
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:SQL_bat_FilesSQL5TC_CTIpackage_occurrence.bat" "" at "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90COM", The process exit code was "2" while the expected was "0". ]
Some of you may suggest to just set the ForceExecutionResult = Success (infact this is what I am doing now just to get the program working), but, this is not what I desire.
I'm pulling data from Oracle db and load into MS-SQL 2008.For my data type checks during the data load process, what are options to ensure that the data being processed wouldn't fail. such that I can verify first in-hand with the target type of data and then if its valid format load it into destination table else mark it with error flag and push into errors table... All this at the row level.One way I can think of is to load into a staging table then get the source & destination table -column data types, compare them and proceed.
should I just try loading the data directly and if it fails try trouble shooting(which could be a difficult task as I wouldn't know what caused error...)
I am having this table locking issue that I need to start paying attention to as its getting more frequent.
The problem is that the data in the tables is live finance data that needs to be changed and viewed almost real time so what I have picked up so far is that using 'table Hints' may not be a good idea.
I have a guy at work telling me that introducing a data access layer is the only way to solve this, I am not convinced but havnt enough knowledge to back my own feeling up. (asp system not .net).
Hi, I'm trying to upload the ASPNETDB.MDF file to a hosting server via FTP, and everytime when it was uploaded half way(40% or 50%) I would get an error message saying: "550 ASPNETDB.MDF: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" and then the upload failed. I'm using SQL Express. Does anybody know what's the cause? Thanks a lot
Hi. When I try to start a package manually clicking the Start Debugging button I get this after a little while:
Cannot process request because the process (3880) has exited. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)
How can I prevent this from happening? This happens every time I want to start the package and every time the process id is different. Here it is 3880.
I have had a full lock on my sql server and I have a few logs to found the origin of the lock.
I know the process at the head of the lock is the 55 process.
Here are the information I have on this process: Spid 55 55 ecid 5 5 Ecid 0 0 ObjId 0 1784601646 IndId 0 0 Type DB PAG Resource 1:1976242 Mode S IS Status TransID GRANT GRANT TransID 0 16980 TransUOW 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

Would someone know a way to identify the origin of the process 55?

I have a File System Task Copy file operation to copy a file in an SSIS package. The package when scheduled as a job fails with the following error:
The process cannot access the file 'C:ETLConsignmentAppleAppleRawFile.txt' because it is being used by another process.".
However when I right click on the package and execute it manually from the Integration Services it runs successfully without any problem. I am not certain on how to resolve this issue any inputs will be much appreciated.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Rename file 1, File System Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.".
When running two File System Tasks after each other, with the same file, the file is still locked when running the second task. Resulting in an error: 0xC002F304 at Rename file 1, File System Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.".
I found a workaround by addind a Execute Process Task before the second File System Task that pings to the localhost. This results in a 5 second delay, but there must be a better solution. Anyone?
i'm going nuts with SQL server notification thing. I have gone throigh this artical which tells how to set user http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/SqlDependencyPermissions.aspx. This article show how to create new user and setup for sql server notification.But In my case user was alredy existing in database. which is very common senario in most cases. So i did following( check the SQL script below) but then i get this error "A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process.

I am trying to use xp_sendmail with no luck. My SQL mail works fine and I am logged in as sa. Here is the csript that I am using. The script works on my local box(which is running Win 2K Advanced Server and SQL 7). It will not work on my production boxes. Any suggestions?
I am using xp_sendmail in a stored procedure.I need to update the fields after the mail sent. Is there a way to capture the errors or server messages that occurs. I am using the following code.....
If @send_Mail=0 Begin update MasterleadPool/*Updates the MasterleadPool table once the mail sent */ Set EmailSent='Y', Dateout=getdate() where AssToID=@AssToID and EmailSent='N' and AssToFlag='Y' End
I used @@error to capture the error but it does'nt work. I got server message as follows.... So the problem is it should'nt go to update statement if there is any type of errors in sending a mail..
Server: Msg 17903, Level 18, State 1, Line 0 MAPI login failure.
However in doing this, it never works (go figure or I wouldn't be submitting this). I have defined the variable @EMAIL_ADDRESS_LNK appropriately to reference a field in a table and I'm positive that the value in the field is valid.
What am I missing? If this is not possible, is there a workaround. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
How robust is xp_sendmail? I would like to roll thru 10 - 20 thousand records, strip the email and send a newsletter...
I'm a definite newby when it comes to mail servers (and how they interact with SQL Server 7.0)...so I'm not sure whether this type of processing would crash/stall the server.
can xp_sendmail handle this type of processing?
I appreciate your help,
p.s. can u point me to any good articles on the subject?
I have a query that works on its own, however when I put it into xp_sendmail it fails. It appears that the "set" command does not work. Here is the query. Any suggestions? Can you use variables within xp_sendmail @ query section?
EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail @recipients = 'Richard Peoples', @subject = 'The following Budget Checked items need attention.', @query ='DECLARE @A1 CHAR (20) DECLARE @A2 CHAR (2) SET @A1 = 'Yvette Palomo' SET @A2 = 'N' IF (select COUNT (*) from FSPROD75.dbo.PS_C_JRNLLN_BUDCHK where RETURN_TO_ANALYST = @A1 AND BUDGET_CHECK_CLEAR= @A2) > 0 begin select A.JOURNAL_ID, A.PROJECT_ID, A.ACCOUNT, B.XLATLONGNAME from FSPROD75.dbo.PS_C_JRNLLN_BUDCHK A INNER JOIN FSPROD75.dbo.XLATTABLE B ON A.BCM_LINE_STATUS = B.FIELDVALUE where (((A.RETURN_TO_ANALYST)= @A1) AND ((A.BUDGET_CHECK_CLEAR)=@A2)) AND (B.FIELDNAME = "BCM_LINE_STATUS") end'
I'm using XP_Sendmail on an NT Server and it works fine. We have a new Windows 2000 server, which the SQL Mail has been set up correctly, and the test passes.
When I use execute xp_sendmail in the query analyzer on the 2000 server, it just sits there and processes for over an hour, without any error messages.
