I have created a simple maintenance plan in SQL Studio. When I double-click on the task boxes (ie 'Rebuild Index', 'Backup') to just make changes or to look, I get the following message:
Cannot show editor for this task
Additional information:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0010014 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap)
I cannot rename, edit nor delete this task, Do you know what might be the problem?
Ok, I must be blowing my mind here.
I created a maintenance plan to run on Sundays at 10PM.
This plan failed due to Tempdb running out of space.
I rectified this and scheduled the maintenance plan to run the next day. This did not work either. The underlying jobs just did not kick off. Nothing in the event viewer or SQL Logs.
The reason, the jobs that this plan created also need to be changed.
Has anybody encountered this?
Further, I have a SQL Express on my laptop, which I use for maintaining our db servers(SQL 2005 Standard Version). When I alter the portions of the Maintenance plans(e.g. I changed the selection of the databases for "Index rebuilding" part) using my work station connected to a Production/QA server,when I try to save the changes it gives me an error: "Failed GUID........and some 16 digit number most of which are all XXXXX". But if I change the schedule it does not give an error but it does not change it either.....
I am really lost. I never had such problems on 7 or 2000.
I am not sure if these are co-related.
Calling all those that use Maintenance Plans.
There are some perculiar goings on happening on my servers. Plans across servers have been doing funny things like dumping back ups in different folders, some jobs have been hanging, so on and so forth.
And I think it's occuring after modifying SQL Server 2000 plans with SSMS. It's so intermitent, it's hard to put my finger on exactly when it's happening. It may have not even been reported yet. Fixing the anomolies are achieved by recreating the jobs (a matter of unticking and ticking the boxes in the Maintenance Plans).
In SQL 2000, if you create more than 1 schedule on a job that was itself created using a maintenance plan, SQL Server returns a message along the lines of "Dude, do this and weird things might happen". The message doesn't say what exactly, just that it can no longer guarentee the integrity of the plan. And indeed, weird things does happen, I tested it once.
I'm guessing this is a similar problem, but has not yet been pinned down. Has anyone come across this when using SSMS to maintain 2000 plans.
At this stage, I would like to point out that this is not a slagging off Maintenance Plans thread... I'm looking in the direction of anyone who's name starts with the letter Kristen or Tara

"It's Saturday night; I've got no date, a two litre bottle of Shasta, and my all-Rush mix tape... LET'S ROCK."
Can anyone please provide me with some Best Practises for setting up Maintenance plans? IE what order should things be done in? What should be done daily, weekly, monthly, yearly... I am attempting to setup a new server and I am now 100% sure I have the maintenance plan setup correctly... expecially when I attempted to run it last night it and ran for over 8 hours and still didn't do the backup's yet. I had to reboot the server this morning to make it stop using 100% of the CPU. So please any help would be wonderful.

I've seen a few threads on this which seem to suppose the problem is on Express edition rather than Standard edition. Not so here.
This is definitely Standard edition, SP3 as seen by running
SELECT CONVERT(char(20), SERVERPROPERTY('Edition'))
SELECT CONVERT(char(20), SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel'))
In SSMS
Under the Management folder there is no "Maintenance Plans" folder.
There IS a "Maintenance Plans" folder under the Legacy Folder.
I have another instance which is Standard and SP1 which looks just fine.
I have a new SQL 2005 Standard Instance. Server Collation is Latin_General_CI_AI - which should be the default or Norm. build 9.00.3042
I cannot Create Maintenance Plans. All error messages below. Some of the links point to help which address possible wrong collation - but my Server Collation is Latin_General_CI_AI - which should be the default or Norm.
Has anyone ever seen this before or can anyone offer any suggestions? is there a post sp2 patch to fix this????

Hi All
I€™m having a problem setting up maintenance plans on one of our SQL 2005 servers but first here€™s a bit of back ground.
The server is a Virtual machine running win2k3R2 SP2 server std and SQL 2k5, A supplier arrived to install and app on the server when discovering there app didn€™t work with 2k5 they seem to have set the 2 dbs on the server into 2k compatibility mode and set the entire SQL install to think its a 2000 install. (I€™m not sure how this is done all I can see is the wrong version number in management studio) The problem this is giving me it that the folder in management studio for Database Maintenance Plans is no longer under the management folder instead it under a sub folder called Legacy (which is how management studio seems to deal with all registered 2000 instances) and as such a can no longer right click and create new database maintenance plans is there any way around this or will I have to setup my backup job manually?
Ohh and have the supplier shot at dawn
Thanks All
Jon
I have a SQL Server 2005 x64 bit with SP2 applied and patched to KB934458-x64-ENU (9.0.3054)
I am unable to create a maintenance plan via Management Studio or save a plan in Management Studio using the wizard.
If I just try and create a new maintenance plan, then I get the following problem:
"An OLE DB error 0x80004005 (Login timeout expired) occurred while enumerating packages. A SQL statement was issued and failed."
If I try and create any maintenance plan via the wizard, I get the following problem:
"The SaveToSQLServer method has encountered OLE DB error code 0x80004005 (Login timeout expired). The SQL statement that was issued has failed."
I've doen a bit of digging on this and had initially thought it was related to the fact that I have two instances installed on 1 server. I've since updated the MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml file to point at both instances, as I thought that might have been causing the problem. That hasn't helped at all. Edited example of xml file is below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><DtsServiceConfiguration xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <StopExecutingPackagesOnShutdown>true</StopExecutingPackagesOnShutdown> <TopLevelFolders> <Folder xsi:type="SqlServerFolder"> <Name>MSDB SQL Server Instance 1</Name> <ServerName>ServerNameInstanceName1</ServerName> </Folder> <Name>MSDB Server Instance 2</Name> <ServerName>ServerNameInstanceName2</ServerName> </Folder> <Folder xsi:type="FileSystemFolder"> <Name>File System</Name> <StorePath>..Packages</StorePath> </Folder> </TopLevelFolders> </DtsServiceConfiguration>
Any suggestions would be most welcome!
SQL7: I have added a Maintenance Plan to backup to 4mm dat tape the master and msdb SQL databases as well as another database relative to our application called WISE. This works fine; however, it appears to always append to the media as opposed to overwriting (preferred). Any help would be appreciated.....
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am going to set up maintenance plans on all our SQL servers (7.0 and 2000). I have found several 'tutorials' on how to do this, but no one is describing the options in detail. Can you guys/gals please help me out? We have alot of small databases and some medium (1-2GB).

We have Veritas' Backupexec running in our Enterprise and the Veritas Install actually installs MS SQL Server MSDN on each Server in the Enterprise.
It looks like it also sets up a default Maintenance plan within each of the MSDN Instances.
I guess my question is.. Can I manage the Maintenance Plans on these MSDN Instances via the SQL Server EM GUI from my desktop?? Seems like when I look at the Maintenance plans alot of the options are greyed out or not available. What I am trying to do is modify one of the maintenance plans to have the backups deleted after one week (One of the Instances has been running a complete backup on the Backupexec Databases for a year and there are a years worth of backups on the Server) but the option to "remove files older than" is 'greyed out' ??????
Eh uhhhh where did the old '-DelBkUps 7DAYS' (delete files older than 7 Days) option go?
Is this a future product enhancement?
I fee like such a dirty noob.
Does anyone get any issues creating "Backup" jobs as a Maintenance Plan when specifying the backup location as a UNC path (e.g. "\backup_bladeBACKUPS")?
For some reason, if i try using the UNC path for a 1-time backup, it works, but when I am trying to put it into a scheduled job, it does not 'seem' to perform the Backup step.
Help please...

Is there a way to find out what Trans-SQL is being executed by a Maintenance Plan. More specifically, if I select Attempt to Repair on the Check Database Integrity screen, I know it is executing DBCC CheckDB, but which repair option is it using (repair_fast, repair_allow_data_loss, repair_rebuild)?

A year ago one of our SQL Server 6.5 servers was upgraded
to SQL Server 7.0 sp1. My compatibility level still shows
6.5, however. The SQLAgent has been using the 'localsystem'
account up until earlier this week. I changed the login
to be a domain account with System Administrator
permissions and removed the SA permissions from the
BuiltinAdministrator group. (My ultimate goal is to limit
the access NT Administrators have within my SQL databases.) All of my scheduled jobs run without error except the maintenance plans. (All
jobs have an owner of sa.)
The errors that I receive are permission errors-not being able
to get into tables on the MSDB database. However, if I open
Query Analyzer with the SQLAgent domain account and perform
a select on one of the tables in MSDB, it is successful. If I give
the BuiltinAdministrator account the SA permissions again
while still keeping the SQLAgent using the new domain account,
the maintenance jobs succeed.
Is this an upgrade problem since I do have other SQL 7.0 servers
that don't have this problem? How can I correct this?
Thank you!

Hi, I'm new to SQL 7 (and fairly new to SQL Server), can anyone help with these basic questions on database maintenance plans generated by the wizard:
(1) Scheduling - can SQLServer handle say a REORG running at the same time as a backup against the same database? This should never happen, but what will happen if say a backup is due to start before a REORG has finished? To try & simulate this 'problem' I've run REORGs and backups at the same time & have yet to encounter errors I presume SQL locking handles this OK.
(2) Database integrity checks - (a) any comments on the wisdom of checking 'repair any minor problems'? Anyone had any problems with this? (b) While integrity checks are running do they take enforce a consistent view of the data? (I think this is probably the case as my reading of books online indicates that DBCC takes shared locks for the duration)
(3) Backups - does the 'VERIFY INTEGRITY' option have any impact on the live database? (My reading of RESTORE VERIFYONLY indicates it doesn't)
Thanks....
What is the recommended schedule for SQL Server maintenance plans that perform database integrity checks and optimizations?
Also, more specifically, how often should we be re-building our indexes?
Thanks for your help.
Is there a way to script out maintenance plans (and their corresponding jobs) from a server ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI used the wizard to create maintenance plans on my SQL 2000 servers. Part of the plan fails (checking data and index linkeage) when the job runs in off hours. It fails because it says the DB is not in single user mode. Shouldn't something in the plan take care of this. The wizard gives you no options. Or is this a bug. These jobs ran fine in SQL 7
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello everyone,
I'm new to DB Maint Plans, so let me apologize upfront. I've taken over a system from a DBA who is no longer working here, and he set up Maint Plans for all of the existing DBs. The plans show up in the Enterprise Manager under "Management->Database Maintenance Plans" like they should, but there are also entries in the "Management->SQL Server Agent->Jobs" area. When I set up a new DB Maint Plan for a new DB, it seems to be working fine, but I don't have any corresponding entries in Jobs. Did the other DBA set these up manually? Does anyone know why he might have done this? Is it needed? The jobs and job steps look like the following:
[DBName]Full:
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_sqlmaint N'-PlanID 33C423D0-CC31-40BD-A357-7DCCAB1DC262 -WriteHistory -VrfyBackup -BkUpMedia DISK -BkUpDB "W:sqldataMSSQL$P001Backup" -DelBkUps 1WEEKS -CrBkSubDir -BkExt "BAK"'

I am currently using sql server 2005 standard edition. I just completed a maintenance plan using the wizard to perform a full backup nightly of a user database.

However, everytime I set something up and try to execute it. The plans ends up failing. This isn't a hard process but something else isn't setup that needs to be.

Hi,
We have msde 8.00.760 - which is reportedly sp3, on a couple servers and all are having a problem. One is on 2000 and the other on 2003. Looking at the maintenance plans - the full backup directory and "remove files older than" box are blank. I've looked at quite a few threads - microsoft doesn't have anything specifically about this problem. Only that pre sp1 you can't edit a maintenance plan ON a server, have to remote in. Found one person who says to create a registry for the default backup path - but I just can't believe that this kind of behavior would go on for 3 service packs - and I don't see any mention of it in the readme for sp4.
I'm not even sure where to post this, but has anyone had a problem with maintenance plans disappearing?
I mean the SSIS package and the job just disappearing....?
I have four servers. Two dev and two prod. I created a pretty simple maintenance plan to backup databases. There are four tasks in the plan. One for each of four databases. Backing each up to a separate file, all in the same folder.
The plan gets associated with a job that has it run daily, every six hours, with no end date.
The plan runs just fine. Then this morning, on one of the servers, the plan and its job are just gone.
This is the second time this has happened. And it's not the same server that it happened on the first time.
Why would a maintenance plan just disappear?
Anyone?

I am creating a SSIS package on my workstation, and I then move the plan to the SQL server. I am able to run and see the package in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. However, I am looking for the location of the package on the server (its location in the files and folders on the server).

Hello
We created maintenance plans for Backup, we configured as:
1. Backup set expires after 2 days. (but we still see backup files are at the location from day one)
2. There is Overwrite and Append in backup file settings. what eaxactly overwrites means, in case we set up expire the backup set after 2 days.
please advice. Thanks, Jay
