DB Engine :: Unable To Start Distributed Transaction Between Two Clustered Servers?
Jul 2, 2015
I have 4 servers, 2 each for application (Dev & Prod)
DEV 1 & DEV 2 are standalone servers
Prod 1 & Prod 2 are Windows Clustered Servers.
From one application to other we do Distributed transactions. Dev 1 - Dev 2 or Dev 2 - Dev 1 can start DTC and working fine,but issue comes when Prod 1 - Prod 2 or Prod 2 - Prod 1. I get error message OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "xyz" returned message "No transaction is active.".
Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 3
The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "xyz" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
I have tested Dev 1 - Prod 1, Dev 1 - Prod 2, Dev 2 - Prod 1, Dev 2 - Prod 2 everything is working fine only Production servers are causing issue.
I enabled all settings needed for DTC on Cluster MSDTC service but no luck.
I have this code DECLARE @tempTableName VarChar(50)SET @tempTableName = NEWID() CREATE TABLE #@tempTableName( State Char(2), Billed Money, AslCode VarChar(10))INSERT INTO #@tempTableName EXEC GetRecords '2/1/2008' which gives me this error when I run The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a]. GetRecords does a select * from a linked server's table. Which is working fine but if I try to do an insert (into temp table) then I get the error. Any help?
I am receiving the following error when I run a stored procedure:Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spXXXXThe SP inserts data into a local (sql 2000) table from a remote sql2000 database. The SP works fine until I add a trigger to thedestination. The contents of the trigger do not appear to matter, as Ihave tried removing everything but one line, which is just a declarestatement. Updating the table with the trigger (even the full trigger)in place does not cause an error. Running the SP without the triggeron the table does not cause the error.I have the exact same setup on another server. Both the SP and thetrigger are IDENTICAL. This setup works on one server, but not theother. The only difference I can see is that the non-working server isWindows 2000 Server, while the working server is Windows 2003 Server.Any idea what's going on here?Thanks in advance.Eric
I'm having issues with a query to a view that references a view on a linked server, that in turn references a view on a third server.
Query to view on Server A --> View on Server B --> View on Server C
I can query from A to B using the linked server. I can query from B to C. I can query from A to C.
All servers at the same location on the same domain.
I cannot query a view on A, that references a view on B, where the view on B references a view/table on C
Each linked server configuration uses "Be made using this security context", with the user specified being 'sa'. I was hoping to get security out of the equation for debug purposes, hence the sa use.
I have tried from Query Analyzer using both windows and sql auth.
MSDTC is running on all servers as local system.
The full error returned is:
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a]. [OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ]
I have been attempting to set up a linked server in SQL Server 2000 to point to an Oracle database (a very old Oracle database, v7!).
The linked server set up works fine. Then I created a database on the same SQL Server. Within that database I created a view which reads information from a view in the Oracle database (linked server). When I attempted to create this view in Enterprise Manager, I get the following error:
"The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction."
And so I created the view in Query Analyzer. This worked perfectly, no errors, and I can now go into Enterprise Manager and call up the view, which happily goes off to the view in the Oracle linked server and pulls back the info. BUT, when I attempt to do the same thing through an application on a different machine (using OLE Db, and a UDL to connect) the same error as above appears.
Does anyone know what this error means, and where I went wrong? Any help greatly appreciated. My view onto the linked server looks like this:
"CREATE VIEW dbo.NLPG_VIEW AS SELECT * from openquery(sadaslink, 'select * from NLPG_VIEW')"
Many thanks in advance for your wisdom!
P.S I wondered whether I need to check if the distributed transaction co-ordinator is running but don't know how. Thanks,
I have 3 development SQL Servers A, B & C, all running SQL 2000 sp3 and Windows 2003. Servers B & C have a linked server pointing to A, and A has one pointing to B & C. The linkedservers all have RPC , RPC out enabled. I have a stored procedure called test on server A.
When the Insert....Exec code above is ran from server B it works fine, however when I run it from Server C, I get error 7391 The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction. [OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ] OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a]
But regular linked server calls (directly to tables) and openquery calls work fine from either server...
Eg insert into #tmp Select top 5 first_name, last_name from ServerA.db1.dbo.people
--and this works also
insert into #tmp Select * from openquery(ServerA, 'Exec db1.dbo.test')
Both servers (B & C) appear to be configured the same, and I have reconfigured MSDTC on all three boxes through control panel and component manager, have tried using SET xact_abort, SET implicit_transactions, registry hacks (TurnoffRPCsecurity), basically everything listed on Microsoft, and everything I've been able to find in these groups.
Hello!I have an Oracle linked server connected through MSDAORA. Linked serverqueries work perfectly - the "openquery" ones as well as the4-part-named ones.The problem I have is with embedding the queries within SQL Servertriggers.Trigger:CREATE TRIGGER tgTest ON [dbo].[test]FOR INSERT, UPDATE, DELETEASselect * from openquery(LS, 'select * from ORACLE_TEST')executing "delete from test" in SQL Query Analyzer raises this error:Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Procedure tgTest, Line 5The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA'ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d01b].I've tried almost every solution I found online, but nothing helped:(This looked promissing: http://tinyurl.com/nk2wd , but it didn't get meany futher.Maybe someone can get me through the troubleshoot mentioned in thatlink:- check if DTC running properlyHow do I check that? If I open the "Support services" in EnterpriseManager and right-click the "Distributed Transaction Coordinatior" Ican stop the service, what indicates the service is running, but isthere anything else I should check? I have 0 items in the right windowpane of the DTC item, is it OK?- registry setting as discussed earlierThe following Registry Keys should be entered:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSDTCMTxOCI ]"OracleXaLib"="oraclient8.dll""OracleSqlLib"="orasql8.dll""OracleOciLib"="oci.dll"My entries are:"OracleOciLib"="ociw32.dll""OracleSqlLib"="SQLLib18.dll""OracleXaLib"="xa73.dll"Are they OK?- check if Mtxoci.dll is loadedThere is a Mtxoci.dll in my system32 dir, but how do I tell if it'sloaded? Should I regsvr32 it?- SET XACT_ABORT ON should be use in your SQL statement, for example:SET XACT_ABORT ONBEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRANSELECT statementCOMMIT TRANI've tried that, both in trigger but also surrounding the query thatfires the trigger.Am getting deseperate - please help. Will send candies!TIA
I have a database containing my own tables and data and I wanted tobe able to query this against an accountancy program which has an ODBCdriver. This was never a problem with MS Access and Jet but I hit Jet'slimitations and have moved to SQL.Creating my own SQL database was no problem, but I was unsure of thebest way to be able to be able to have my SQL tables and my accountancysoftware tables appearing in the same Access front end.I created a linked server to the accountancy program. This wassuccessful in that I could see all the tables below the linked server inenterprise manager.My problem occurs when I try to bring the data from these tablesinto my SQL database.I create a new view in my database:-SELECT *FROM OPENQUERY(SAGE_SERVER, 'SELECT * FROM STOCK')(My linked server is called 'SAGE_SERVER' and I am trying to retrieveall columns from the STOCK table.)I then try to save this view and get the following errors.ODBC Error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The operationcould not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' was unableto begin a distributed transaction.[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]OLE DB Error Trace[OLE/DBProvider 'MSDASQL' ITransactionJoi JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].Thanks in advance,Marcus Thornton.

I have a Insert statement which i am using to insert data into a remote server from my local server. I have added the remote server as a linked server in my local server but when i try to execute the statement i am getting the above mentioned error. I am using Windows Enterprise Edition 2003 and SQL Server 2000.
I have also enabled the Allow InBound and Allow OutBound in the security configuration of My Computer properties but still i am facing the same problem. Kindly let me know how to resolve this issue.
Hello, I've a problem with a software developed in C# with the framework 2.0. This is the error I receive : The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "XXX_LINKED_SERVER" was unable to begin a distributed transaction. OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "XXX_LINKED_SERVER" returned message "No transaction is active.". If I try directly to restart the process, it works fine. Is there someone who can help me ? This is the process 1. In C# --> Call of a Query : select from the linked server (db in sql 2005) and insert into a table SQL 2005 2. In the C# --> using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()) and insert in a table in SQL 2005 which is link server Thank in advance.
I found the following link which seems to be the problem we're experiencinghttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/937517
The link includes a workaround which is the following: "To prevent the SQLNCLI provider from sending an attention signal to the server, use the SQLNCLI provider to consume fully any rowsets that the OLE DB consumer creates. "
How do I use the SQLNCLI provider to fully consume any rowsets?
We are going to use SQL Sever change tracking. The problem is that some of our tables, which are to be tracked, have no primary keys. There are only unique clustered indexes. The question is what is the best way to turn on change tracking for these tables in our circumstances.
I'm getting this when executing the code below. Going from W2K/SQL2k SP4 to XP/SQL2k SP4 over a dial-up link.
If I take away the begin tran and commit it works, but of course, if one statement fails I want a rollback. I'm executing this from a Delphi app, but I get the same from Qry Analyser.
I've tried both with and without the Set XACT . . ., and also tried with Set Implicit_Transactions off.
set XACT_ABORT ON Begin distributed Tran update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 and DONE = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.WBENTRY set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.WBENTRY set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.FIXED set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.FIXED set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.ALTCHARGE set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.ALTCHARGE set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.TSAUDIT set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.TSAUDIT set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 COMMIT TRAN
It's got me stumped, so any ideas gratefully received.Thx
I have a design a SSIS Package for ETL Process. In my package i have to read the data from the tables and then insert into the another table of same structure.
for reading the data i have write the Dynamic TSQL based on some condition and based on that it is using 25 different function to populate the data into different 25 column. Tsql returning correct data and is working fine in Enterprise manager. But in my SSIS package it show me time out ERROR.
I have increase and decrease the time to catch the error but it is still there i have tried to set 0 for commandout Properties.
if i'm using the 0 for commandtime out then i'm getting the Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.
and
Failed to open a fastload rowset for "[dbo].[P@@#$%$%%%]". Check that the object exists in the database.
I am getting this error :Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

i have a sequence container in my my sequence container i have a script task for drop the existing tables. This seq. container connected to another seq. container. all these are in for each loop container when i run the package it's work fine for 1st looop but it gives me error for second execution.
Message is like this:
Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.
i am getting this error "Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.".
my transations have been done using LINKED SERVER. when i manually call the store procedure from Server 1 it works but when i call it through Service broker it dosen't work and gives me this error.
I have Two Access Databases connected as Linked servers through ODBC driver.
I want to run a Distributed Query .
The SQL is as follows:
SELECT Alias1.FiledNames,Alias2.FiledNames from

LinkedServer2.DatabaseName2.dbo.Tablename2 AS Alias2
It gives me this error message.
ODBC: Msg 0, Level 19, State 1 SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 12 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.
I have two SQL servers, SERVERA and SERVERB. They are on two different VLAN's within our corporate network. They are physically only about 5 feet apart. SERVERA is SQL2005 while SERVERB is SQL2000. I am running a distruted transaction as a result of an insert on SERVERA which then causes a Stored procedure stored on SERVERA to insert a record on a table on SERVERB. I know my syntax is correct, 'cause I can get the Process to work between two servers (one SQL2000 and the other SQL2005) on the same VLAN. But when I run it in the problem environment, I get the following error message:
SQL Execution Error
Executed SQL Statement: INSERT INTO Tablea(recordid, recordtext) values(3, 'Testagain')
Error source: .Net SQLClient Data Provider
Error Message: The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCL1" for linked server "SERVERB" was unable to being a distributed transaction.
I have checked to make sure that MSDTC is running and it is on both servers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Eric-
Hi,On My local SQL server I have added a linked server to another SQLserver (remoteserver) in another Windows NT Domain.When I run this codeselect count(*) from remoteserver.mosaics.dbo.LocationThis works fine.However when I usebegin transactionselect count(*) from remoteserver.mosaics.dbo.LocationIt errors out saying thatThe operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transactioncoordinator. ]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB'ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].My question is even though I am just reading data from theremoteserver, why does the local transaction get promoted to adistributed transaction.Any help will be grately appreciated.TIA...Rohit
I'm trying to do some researh on the use of SQL's DPV. I'm looking for feedback from people who've actually done this production to know more about the design challenges and level of added administration required. Any information will be much appreciated. Thanks.
We get the below error while performing a distributed transaction on linked server. We have several linked servers configured in the source server and all of them succeed with the distributed transaction except on one.
We did all the basic troubleshooting and moreover the distributed transactions work fine if we use a remote server instead.

I am trying to install failover support for my sql server 7.0 database on the in clustere server enviorment Now We have operating system on two clusterd servers but just one common database disk Now what will happen if i lose server A ( Active ) the server B will take over and use the same database . But what will
happen if database disk crashes IS it possible for me to replicate the data or use disk mirroring , or have one clustered
database server seperate How does the database server cluster work ? What kind of replication do i use for my backup support ? what should be my recovery process ? how can i use standby option on the database during recovery ?
Please try to reply as soon as possible if you can also point to some documetation on the net that will also help
Also look at my current structure ( but this should not affect your answer )
Tables
group 1 --- 20 tables ( being replicated to server c ) group 2 ----60 tables
on cluster 1 Server A-- Holds Group 1 ( Transictional replication to server c )
on cluster 2 server B---(Production server ) Group 2 + Group 1
Just want to know if we can replicate data (Transactional Replication) from a clustered servers (server A and Server B are active-passive clustered running SqlServer 7) to another server C running SqlServer 7.
If yes, how to go about doing this. Any white papers, KB articles or books out there which will walk through the steps to do it.
Hi all, I am trying to merge data of 2 tables on different servers with an insert statement.
INSERT INTO SERVER1.db.owner.table select s2.* from SERVER2.db.owner.table as s2 LEFT JOIN SERVER1.db.owner.table as s1 ON s1.key=s2.key where s1.key is null
I got this error. The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.

while the select query is giving the result. I have done simmilar inserts on some other tables which worked fine
I have created sp_addlinkedserver. and DTC set on both servers.
Hi All, I am trying to use distributed transaction (using linked Server). But getting the folloing error..
Some one please help...
following is the error...

According to Microsoft, if you need to change the subnet for the clustered servers, you will need to either edit the registry or reinstall virtual SQL Server.
Does any one know which registry key(s) store the subnet information? I was reviewing the clustered key but was able to find the key for the IP address only.
