Inconsistent Package Failures

Jan 19, 2006

I'm debugging my first SSIS package and is getting inconsistent results. The package does not always complete successfully. When the package does fail, it fails at different tasks that accquire database connections. Any of the following error message would show up:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Failed to acquire connection "FORGE.FMC". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.

[OLE DB Destination [6374]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "FORGE.FMC" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

[Connection manager "FORGE.FMC"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Communication link failure". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Named Pipes Provider: No process is on the other end of the pipe. ".

I never experienced any connection error when executing query through management studio. It's only SSIS packages that fails to connect every now and then. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Package Load Failures After Installing BIDS

Mar 11, 2007

I am runing WinXP Pro SP2 with all current updates and also VS2005 Team Ed for Developers. VS2005 is installed on D drive as is nearly all of my development tools. SQL Server 2000 SP4 is on the C drive and just installed SQL 2005 express with advanced services to D drive. I then attempted to install the express toolkit BIDS to the D drive only to learn it's hard coded(really stupid to not check for existing VS 2005) to install on C drive only. I've gotten past the denenv.exe issue.

The issue now is when I open VS2005 with the normal shortcut or the Business Intelligence Development Studio short cut and open any project that contains Crystal Reports reports and attempt to open a report I get package load failures for ReportDesignerPackage and Datawarehouse VSIntegration Layer Package. Also get this same error if you try to now create a BIDS report project.

I thought maybe VS2005 has a search path variable in tools/options or maybe a system envirnoment variable that could be tweaked to tell VS2005 to also look in the IDE folder for the dummy VS install on the C Drive. If there is I have not discovered it yet.

Second thought was to copy the files in the IDE folder of the dummy VS install on C drive to the IDE folder where my VS2005 is actually installed. I saw a post last night by someone that had done that with apparent success. That solution seems a little suspect since the BIDS packages files are registered at the C drive paths, so you certainly don't want to delete or move those files from where they were installed.

I'm nervous about side effects on my existing VS2005 projects during development and deployment and aren't even using BIDS.

So, now the question is how does one resolve this conumdrum?

Help With Xp_sendmail Failures

Jul 9, 2002

Where I work, we use a lot of triggers on our tables. And most of the time we use them to send email out (using xp_sendmail). For example, a user enters data and there is an insert trigger on that table to send email out to the appropriate individuals. This is all well and good until the SQL Mail Agent stops running for one reason or another. People try to enter their data and because there is an insert trigger on the table which tries to send mail out the entire transaction fails and the data can't be saved simply because the trigger can't successfully execute xp_sendmail. Does anyone know of a way around this? A better way to accomplish this? Any suggestions are appreciated!

DBCC Failures

Apr 16, 2001

Hi. I am running SQL2000 standard edition on a Windows 2K server. I have this annoying problem that the jobs I create through the maintenance plan wizard fail consistantly on a certain database that has one table in it. Just the database integrity check and update statistics part of the maintenence plan fail, the backups are fine.
This will occur on a brand new database, with the default options selected and with only one empty table in it. The script to create the table and indexes is below. The errors I get from the maintenance plan are:

--Check Data and Index Linkage
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]DBCC failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'QUOTED_IDENTIFIER, ARITHABORT'.

--Update QP Statistics
[Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 1934: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]UPDATE STATISTICS failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'QUOTED_IDENTIFIER, ARITHABORT'.

I have messed around with setting these db options on and off with no effect on the success of the maintainence plan. I am wondering if anyone can replicate the problem on there own installation or have any thoughts on how to fix. Oh if I take the formula off of the table the jobs run successfully.
Thanks in advance.

Transaction Log Backup Failures

Dec 29, 2000

We have a job created by the maintenance job wizard that backs up the transaction logs for all of our databases on an hourly basis. At random intervals, one of the tranaction log backups will fail with the following message in the job history:
sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.

The next scheduled transaction log backup will run fine the next hour. The sqlmaint.exe is present and executable. There are no additional messages in the SQL Server error log or SQL Agent error log. Any ideas what causes this random failure?

Unexplained Login Failures

Apr 12, 2004

Hi all,

I could really use some assistance. I have been researching this problem for over a month now and I have not made any headway or progress.

I am running SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2000 Server. Hardware is Dual Xeon 2.4/400 Procs, 2GB ram and 1 Raid10 Array with 4x 36 GB 10K RPM drives.

The server has about 50 dbs on it. All are primarly used in conjuction with some web application or site. On average the server sees about 270ish connections/sessions.

About 1 - 2 months ago, we started seeing random login failures. We have no explanation for these failures. Our coldfusion code gives us detailed logging information regarding the exact statement that was being executed when the login failed. We try to reproduce the failed login, we cannot. There are no misspelling, code inconsitencies in this regards because the logins are set in the data source which verify.

We are using per-processor licensing, so unless there is a hidden limit we are hitting or MS is lying about per-processor licensing having unlimmited connections, that is not the issue. Also, I've ruled out some kind of network issue because if that were the case, the login would have timed out, as opposed to failing. I've been running a trace and viewing the failed logins.

Has anyone dealt with this issue before?



Best Regards,


Errol Neal

How Do I Handle Connection Failures

Oct 15, 2007

I have a package that loops through a list of servers. I keep the list in a table, read it, then loop through it and dynamically set the ServerName in the Connection Manager so that I can connect to one server after another without having to set up separate Connection Managers for each. A Data Flow task queries each server for configuration information and writes that to a central database. Everything works well, unless a server is offline for some reason.

As long as it doesn't exceed the max number of errors, the package logs the error, skips over that server and continues along just fine. What I'd like to do is trap that error and manually write a row to the central database with the server name and an error message, so that at least all the servers show up in the report, even if they don't all have configuration data listed.

How do I handle this type of connection error? Everything I've seen on error handling either assumes it's a data error or that you want to log the error in some external log file. I want to execute a SQL script that writes the value of a variable (the server name) to a table.

Hi,

I have two packages that run successfuly.

But when I run them as jobs, (every 10 minutes) they failed randomly.

Intermittent Failures Using Web Synchronisation

Dec 18, 2005

HI

We are using HTTPS anonymous merge subscriptions....

Sometimes when trying to synchonise, we will get the following error messages returned to the subscriber....

The upload message to be sent to Publisher '**thewebserver**' is being generated
The merge process is using Exchange ID '0F65CFCB-AF17-47DC-8D98-493A44C243E0' for this web synchronization session.
The Merge Agent could not connect to the URL 'https://**thewebserver**/client/replisapi.dll' during Web synchronization. Please verify that the URL, Internet login credentials and proxy server settings are correct and that the Web server is reachable.
The Merge Agent could not connect to the URL 'https://**thewebserver**/client/replisapi.dll' during Web synchronization. Please verify that the URL, Internet login credentials and proxy server settings are correct and that the Web server is reachable.
The Merge Agent received the following error status and message from the Internet Information Services (IIS) server during Web synchronization: [401 :'Unauthorized']. When troubleshooting, ensure that the Web synchronization settings for the subscription are correct, and increase the internet timeout setting at the Subscriber and the connection timeout at the Web server.


If I then go to a web brower, put in the HTTPS address, it brings up the logon dialog - I put in the admin username and password to confirm the connection and that's fine.

We try and synchronise again, and this time it works - it's as though I have 'woken' it up again and it's happy to play.

Is increasing the timeouts as suggested by the error message the way to go ? If so, where does one set the 'internet timeout setting at the subscriber', and the 'connection timeout at the webserver' ?

 

thanks

Disk Backup Failures (file In Use)

Feb 21, 2000

I am getting occasional failures of a SQL Server 7.0 complete backup to disk on a production database. The errors seem to indicate that another process has the disk file open at the time of the backup. The errors contain the following texts : -

'Cannot open backup device'
'Operating System Error=32 Process cannot access file because it is being used by another process'.

The only other process that should access the disk file is an ARCserveIT scheduled job to copy the disk backup to tape but this is completing long before.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Random Communication Link Failures

Sep 2, 2004

We have been seeing random inexplicable communication link failures when communicating with a Win2K SQL server for a while now. After a very detailed analysis of the various causes of the problem (network, name lookups, etc.), we've narrowed it down to possibly the ODBC driver. We are using TCP/IP.

I've stuck a packet sniffer on the connection between the SQL server and the client and in almost all cases, the connection suddenly terminates with the client sending a TCP reset to the server.

Looking at the packet traces further, it seems like in about 60% of the cases, there is period of activity on the TCP connection, then some inactivity during which there is a constant stream of TCP keepalives between the client and server and then suddenly the client resets the TCP connection.

Now, we can usually correlate this TCP reset to some new activity initiated on the client application, so could this be related to connection pooling in the ODBC? Thats the only inference I can obtain.

We are running Win2K SP3a on the server.

Any ideas on what else to look for or how to debug this further? I have 10GB of packet traces and can provide more details on the connection traces if necessary. The problem also is that we have ~100 clients constantly communicating with the SQL server and we will see anywhere from 10-20 random CLFs in a day.

I've searched the archives extensively and this does seem to be a problem for many people, but a few of them seem to have had genuine network problems and we've pretty much ruled that out since there are other simultaneous TCP connections between the client and the server and they seem to be okay.

Thanks,

TN

Agent Failures And Custom Alerting

Jul 4, 2006

Hi

I need to have a reliable alerting system for my merge replications I have setup on my MSSQL 2005 server.

The problem is that the build-in alert system the 'agent failure' alert only triggers when 'all databases' for that specific alert is selected. There is no failure alert triggered when I select a database and force a failure. The 'agent succes' alert does never get triggered at all.

I need an reliable succes and failure alert per database because I need to do specific actions per database.

Can someone help me out here?

I'm thinking of building my own alerting system if the help here is insufficient. In that case I need to know in what tables to look. Maybe someone can give me some pointers?

Thanks anyway,

Edward

Login Failures After Database/Object Transfer

Nov 26, 2001

Hi all...

Sorry if this is a real simple question, but I just had a SQL 6.5 server dropped in my lap. I need to transfer all the data to a new box, which I did using the Tools mneu (Database/Object Transfer) in Enterprise Manager. I checked the databases after the transfer and all the data seems to be there, including the logins. However, if I try to connect the database, all logins fail.

Connection failed.
SQL State '28000'
SQL Server Error 4002
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed

Does any body know how to fix this easily without resetting every single user id?

Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Lookup Failures - Prompt For New Entries Through UI Control?

Dec 7, 2007

Hi All,

Sorry if this is an obvious question, I am new to SQL Server.

For the failures of a data flow lookup transformation, I would like to add a prompt through some kind of UI control (eg. datagrid) for new lookup entries, which I would then take the new entries, redo the lookup and continue on with my process.

Or, is there a better way to include adding new lookup entries to my process?

Cheers,

SQL Server Express 2005 Uninstall Failures

Apr 13, 2008

This is getting extremely annoying. I cannot unistall another instance of SQL Server Express 2005.

I have had three different servers with the separate installs of SQL Server Express 2005. I remove the product (Backup Exec, Dell IT Assistant, Microsoft System Center 2007). I uninstall the third-party product and they leave behind SQL Server Express 2005. For what idiotic reason I do not know. Then I try and remove SQL Server Express 2005 and for the third straight time it fails.


Here's the latest failure error, "TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup

I have a sequence container with 2 task into. If one of the tasks alert a failure then the sequence container should alert a failure too, but it doesn't. For testing I forced the error with setting the attribute ForceExecutionResult to Failure for one of the tasks. The task fails, but the sequence container succeeds.

I tried:

- changed the Precedence Constraints from AND to OR between the 2 tasks into the sequence container
- changed the attribute FailPackageOnFailure setting True
- changed the attribute FailParentOnFailure setting True

but nothing happened.

DateTime Inconsistent

Feb 11, 1999

I need some advise on how to check the consistensy of a DateTime attribute.

Some of my Datetime field(s) won't read as a NULL and some does for example:

Select FileNo,DateReceived,DateEntered,DateFU from RECEIVING
where DateReceived is not null and DateEntered is not null and DateFU is not null

I should get several records but the result is zero.

Is there any articles out there about DateTime ?

I appreciate any help.

Inconsistent Results

May 5, 2008

Hi,

I am building a report with a recursive hierarchy for drill-down purposes. The hierarchy is built by querying a SSAS OLAP cube and defining a details grouping for the table/matrix.

Every time I run the report one or more of the leaf members in the recursive hierarchy "jumps" up to the highest level. First I thought that this may be due to the fact that the leafs parents are not part of the returned dataset. However, the queries makes sense and the "offending" members does never contain any data (while the query should return only non empty members) which is why this is a very strange behavior. Furthermore, the "offending" member differs between different executions of the report, despite the fact that the parameters is exactly the same and the cube is untouched between executions.

I am actually pressing "View Report", waiting for the report to execute and when I press "View Report" again, the returned datasets seem to differ, yielding different "offending" members in the report.

When I run the queries individually in the Data-tab in BIDS, the returned datasets are always the same. Execution caching is turned off for the report.

Checking against SSRS's ExecutionLog, the RowCount for consecutive executions with the exact same parameters differ. For example, RowCount:
3094
3080
3079
3088
3087

Why does SSRS behave such inconsistently? Any tips or tricks?

Inconsistent Query Results

Apr 10, 2001

I am running SQL Server 7.0 on NT 4.0. I have created a simple query:

SELECT SUM(month1) As total_month1
FROM eac_manload
WHERE project_number = 8800
and dept IN (50,51,52,55,57,60,61,62,63,64,65,68,69)

I first time I run the query I get the correct result. Subsequent times that I run the query the result is 1 record with a Null value. The data has not changed. If I stop MSSQLSERVER and restart the service I get the correct result the first time and the Null value each time thereafter. Anybody out there with any idea of what is going on here? Any help will be appreciated!!

Inconsistent Return Codes Using BCP

Mar 2, 1999

I apologize for the length of this message, but I think I need to include all this info so that the problem is understood. I am having what appears to be a problem capturing the return code from a failed BCP.


I create a stored proc to use BCP to load a table:

create procedure sp_bcp_load as
declare @RC int
execute @RC = master..xp_cmdshell "bcp JON..W4KPV in e:inetpubftprootfinreslaw4kpv.g4000.data /Sdbmtss1 /m 0 /f d:mssqluserdatafinresW4KPV.fmt /Usa /P /e d:mssqluserdatafinrescp1.err /t""|"" /r "

select 'Return code from bcp = ', @RC
if @RC <> 0
BEGIN
print 'BCP Error.'
return (8)
END
GO



If I execute the SP, and encounter a transaction log full error, the return code is still zero:


1000 rows sent to SQL Server. 45000 total
1000 rows sent to SQL Server. 46000 total
Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2:
Server 'DBMTSS1', Line 1:

Can't allocate space for object 'Syslogs' in database 'Jon' because
the 'logsegment' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs,
dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment.

(54 row(s) affected)

----------------------- -----------
Return code from bcp = 0




If I execute the SP again, it correctly returns a non-zero value:


Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2:
Server 'DBMTSS1', Line 1:
Can't allocate space for object 'Syslogs' in database 'Jon' because
the 'logsegment' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment.

(6 row(s) affected)

----------------------- -----------
Return code from bcp = 1

(1 row(s) affected)

BCP Error.



Does anybody have an idea why this behaves this way? Any suggestions on how to trap an error on the first call?

Thanks,
Jon Carter

Inconsistent SP Performance On Different Servers

Jun 8, 2006

One of my developers recently installed a backup of the production database onto his test site. His test server has the same configuration as the production server.

One of the Stored Procedures that is called takes 1:45 to run on his machine, but only 2 seconds on the production server. This same SP takes only 2 seconds on my development database.

The SP is called iteratively, up to 10 times... to run against 10 separate fields. Depending on a value for a parameter called @CriteriaClassID, depends on which portion of the SP runs.

The significant difference in processing time in itself is baffling (since the servers are same specs / configuration, as far as I can tell, and the data is identical, since he has a backup of the most recent production data).

But more baffling: if, in his data, I switch the values from field 1 to field 2, and vice versa, his results take 2 seconds (switching the values in field 1 to field 2 switches the value in @CriteriaClassID which is passed through to this SP).

It's exactly the same SP; the only difference is that field 1 is processed first, field 2 second, field 3 third etc. On the production site and my development site, it doesn't make a difference in the order they are processed. On his machine it does.

Any ideas? I though perhaps his Indexes were corrupted in the rebuild, but we ran a SQL Server maintenance schedule to clean it up, and no improvement.

This is the SP, if it is of any help:

CREATE procedure [dbo].[st_pull_model_data] @ModelID as integer, @CriteriaID as integer
as

declare @ClientID as integer, @CriteriaClassId as char(1)

/*Procedure to pull data from org_model_data and postalcode_model_data for modeling and media analysis */
/*Need to have table #temp_data created outside of SP with fields org_id and zip_code */
/*This procedure is used by SP st_model_data */

If @CriteriaID is not null
begin

set @CriteriaClassId = (Select model_criteria_type from model_criteria where model_criteria_id = @CriteriaID)
if @CriteriaClassID = 'G' -- changes client_id from specific to general, if General is required.
begin
set @ClientID = 0
end
else
begin
set @ClientID = (Select client_id from model where model_id = @ModelID)
end

If @CriteriaClassId in ('G','P')
Begin
update#temp_data
setdata1 = postal_criteria_value
from #temp_data t
left outer join
(select postalcode, postal_criteria_value
from postalcode_model_data pmd
join model_org_trade_area mota on mota.zip_code = pmd.postalcode
join model_org mo on mo.model_org_id = mota.model_org_id
where model_criteria_id = @CriteriaID
and client_id = @ClientID
and mo.model_id = @ModelID) as PMD
onPMD.postalcode = t.zip_code
end
else
Begin
update#temp_data
setdata1 = org_criteria_value
from#temp_data t
left outer join
(select distinct postalcode, org_criteria_value, omd.org_id
from org_model_data omd
join org o on o.org_id = omd.org_id
join model_org_trade_area mota on mota.zip_code = omd.postalcode
join model_org mo on mo.model_org_id = mota.model_org_id and mo.org_id = o.org_id
where model_criteria_id = @CriteriaID and o.client_id = @ClientID and mo.model_id = @ModelID) as OMD
on OMD.postalcode = t.zip_code and omd.org_id = t.org_id
end
end

Inconsistent Application Performance

Feb 13, 2007

Basically, I have a web-based application that queries aggregates from several big tables that grow rather quickly. I feel I am fairly accomplished at tuning individual queries and have optimized these particular stored procedures as much as I can and often see great results for a period of time. However, after time passes, it seems the stored procedures begins performing really badly. What's frustrating is that I have traced the server, located a stored procedure that consistently executes with an abnormally high duration, but when I run the exact same text directly against the sql server it returns instantly.

If I recompile the stored procedure using my direct connection by including the WITH RECOMPILE clause to the EXEC statement, the problem remains for the web-app. However, if I add the WITH RECOMPILE to the actual stored procedure, it is instantly resolved. I can then remove the WITH RECOMPILE from the stored procedure text and things will remain speedy for a period of time before they again slip back.

I'm curious as to what I can do from a SQL standpoint to correct for this. For now, the app team is setting a counter for each execution and then issuing a WITH RECOMPILE when the counter limit is exceeded.

I apologize if this question has most been asked before and I have attempted a review of the forums but was unable to find any material. Any suggestions, advice, links or general assistance would be most appreciated.

Inconsistent Database Performance

Jul 23, 2005

Hi,I am facing a peculiar problem while looking ahead in a live Databasecurrently under operation in one of my client’s Project. AnApplication that is updating 3 - tables in the Database is missing toupdate a certain number of Fields in one of the Tables. The fact isnot frequent and I have checked through the Server Performance Monitorthat there is no performance slag of the Server during any point oftime.The Tables are indexed with common Key fields. Can anybody help me inthis regard ?Thanks & Regards.--Posted using the http://www.dbforumz.com interface, at author's requestArticles individually checked for conformance to usenet standardsTopic URL: http://www.dbforumz.com/General-Dis...pict193836.htmlVisit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Inconsistent Performance From Queues

Nov 13, 2006

Hi everyone! I have a very brief question... I have 10 queues in my database and each of them are sent equal number of messages... There are instances where they execute/activate the stored procedures very fast but there are times where they don't, does anyone have an idea why this happens?

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post. :)
