Snapshot Agent Cannot Start Server Execution Failed

May 22, 2006

Hello, I've configured SQL Server 2000 for merge replication and am trying to start the snapshot agent for the publication and after about 20 minutes of it trying to start, it gives up with this error.



Server execution failed

There is no more information in the event viewer. I've tried it with a bunch of different subscriptions. SQL Server and SQL Agent are running under a local account which has access to the replcation data directory. SQL Agent is running.

I'm Running SQL 2000 SP3.

Thanks

Snapshot Agent && Log Reader Agent Will Not Start.

Nov 30, 2006

Hi All,

I would appreciate any help here at all. I am pulling my hair out!

I am unable to start the snapshot agent or log reader agent from within SQL management studio. it fails on executing step 2 with unknown username or bad password.

I have checked all account details and they are correctly using my domain admin account. I can connect to SQL using teh same account and it also has sysadmin permissions.

If i copy the step 2 paramters and start from the cmd prompt (again logged in using the same domain account) they both start fine.



Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Cannot Start Log Reader Agent And Snapshot Agent

May 18, 2007

I am testing peer to peer replication in our environment. I simulated a three node peer to peer topology and a local distributor.

For some wierd reason I cannot get the Log Reader Agent and snapshot agent to start. The domain account under which SQL Server Agent runs has administrator previlage on the box. I also use a domain account for SQL Server Service. (none of the passwords changed).

This is the error I am getting - "Executed as user: abc. A required privilege is not held by the client. The step failed"

Any ideas???





Also this domain account is a member of



SQLServer2005MSSQLUsers$ServerName$MSSQLSERVER

SQLServer2005MSAgentUser$ServerName$MSSQLSERVER

Snapshot Agent Won't Start

Mar 11, 2008

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up merge replication between a SQL Server 2000 SP4 / Win2k box and a MSDE SP4/WinXP box and I'm finding that the initial snapshot isn't being produced.

The SQL Agent runs as a windows user that has admin privileges, the snapshot agent impersonates the SQL Agent. The SQL Server login for the agent account has the server role "System Administrators" and database access to all db's.

When I turn on logging and try to start the agent, the following is written to the log:
Microsoft SQL Server Snapshot Agent 8.00.760
Copyright (c) 2000 Microsoft Corporation
Microsoft SQL Server Replication Agent: SVRName-POS-POS_Test_Suburb-1

Connecting to Distributor 'SVRName'
SourceTypeId = 5
SourceName = SVRName
ErrorCode = 18456
ErrorText = Login failed for user 'SVRNameSQLAgent'.
The process could not connect to Distributor 'SVRName'.

Most of the posts I've seen regarding problems like this are due to subscriber authentication issues (not up to that, this is the initial snapshot) or windows/domain user permissions.

Any ideas what else it might be?

Sql Server Agent Job Execution Of A Package Failed

Feb 9, 2006

Hi,



when I try to run a package as Job I receive the following error

Executed as user: SITAsqlserveragent_svc. The package execution failed. The step failed.

Has someone an idea how I can get more detailed information about WHY the job failed? Tha package was created in BIDS and imported into MSDB. Running the package from the Integration Services context menu works, but starting it as a job from SQL Server Agent fails. Any idea or hint what the reason could be or how I can get more information?



Thanks in advance

The database has another publication, that was created prior to upgrade to sql server 2005 from sql server 2000 sp4. This publication is working ok, and there are no problems when running the snapshot agent for this publication.

The publications are using filtered articles, and all properties for the publications are the same.



Any help to solve this problem will be much apreciated.

Snapshot Agent Fails On Table With XML Datatype : Script Failed For Table 'dbo.TableName'

Sep 11, 2007

SQL Server 2005 SP2 Error: Script failed for Table 'dbo.TableName'

I keep getting this error when trying to generate a snapshot for transact replication.
Here is the publishing table schema:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[viMediaPlaylist](
[MemberID] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[xmlPlaylist] [xml](CONTENT [dbo].[viMediaPlaylistCollectionSchema]) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[MemberID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 90) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]


I tried the following:
#1)Create table schema at the subscriber manually, and change package to Keep object as is. Got the same error during snapshot.

#2Filtered replication to NOT include XML column. This worked, and no error was generated, replication was up and running.


So my question is, what is the problem with XML column being replicated?
Any ideas how i can make this work? At this point i'm not sure what the problem is with the xml column, but it seems like ti tries to run schema script, but i'm not asking it to create the schema i already did it myself. Thanks!

Snapshot Agent Failed From Time To Time

Sep 15, 2000

Hello !

I just encountered a problem with snapshot replication or, if more detailed, with snapshot agent.

My environment consist of W2K Server (sp1) and SQL Server 7.0 (sp2)

The issue is when I create publication and then start snapshot agent for initial creation of schema and articles, it fail with the error:
"An exception occurred in the Snapshot subsystem. The step failed."
Event Log registers this error with the following message:
-------------------
"Step 2 of job --- () has caused an exception in the Snapshot subsystem and has been terminated"
-------------------
the step 2 in REPL-Snapshot job is "Run Agent"

Once more detail. The metter is that this occurs not consistently but from time to time. Some publications succeed in snapshot process but others don't. And else, if I want to manually run snapshot agent for the second time after successful completion for the first, I get the same error.

Any idea?????
Thanks in advance

MS SQL Server 2000 Snapshot Agent

Aug 16, 2006

Hello Sir,

Now I'm choosing Trasactional publication as my publication type. I now can successfully replicate the data from publisher to subscriber without any error.

But now my question is what is the usage of snapshot agent? When I go to Replication Monitor > Agents > Snapshot Agents > Start Agent but failed.

I need to check with you whether the way I start the snapshot agent was not correct? What is the effect if I drop snapshot agent during the replication and DBUpdate are running?

Please kindly help me .

Thank You.

SQL Server 2008 :: Transactional Replication (Snapshot Agent)

Mar 19, 2015

Is there a way to force the snapshot to use a format file when bcp'ng the data to the subscriber?

The publisher and subscriber schemas are slightly different. Mainly added columns to the subscriber.

We have a post snapshot script that updates these additional columns on the subscriber.

I'd like to force the snapshot to use a format file, so it doesn't error when initially loading the data to the subscriber.

Is this possible?

SQL Server Agent Did Not Auto-start

Nov 19, 2007

Hello everyone! We had an issue this week where SQL Server Agent did not restart automatically. Weekly maintenance runs on the server each Sunday in which a reboot of the server occurs. Both SQL Server and SQL Server Agent are set to auto-start when OS starts. SQL started fine, but SQL Server Agent didn't.

Anyone know of a reason why SQL Server Agent wouldn't have restarted? Also, does anyone know of a way to set something up that would alert me (through email) if this service hasn't restarted?

Thanks in advance,
Lance

Cannot Get SQL Server Agent To Start Using New Account... Why?

Feb 28, 2007

Well, this is very confusing.

I have 2 servers that are members of the same AD Domain.

I need an account that can login to either one, but needs to be able to start a service, which my network admin says a local domain administrator cannot do.

So, I just decided to create an account with the same name, properties and password on both machines.

This I did. The account is a member of local Windows Administrator group on each server. Additionally, it is an SQL account on the SQL Server local instance, and a member of the SysAdmin group.

I can assign this account to SQL Server as the startup account (Log in with this account). That works fine.
However, when I assign this account to SQL Server, then SQL Server Agent quits running. So I try to assign this same account to this service and I get an error that the account 'Unknown' cannot login and needs to be a member of the SysAdmin group!??

This is a completely confusing error message since the account is a Windows Admin, SQL Server SysAdmin account and can start SQL Server fine without a hitch.

Anyone else having this very annoying problem ?!

Auto Start Of SQL Server 7.0 Agent Not Occurring

Nov 16, 2000

I am not successful in getting SQL Server Agent to startup when SQL server starts up.

I believe the problem has to do with a lack of permissions or rights. I will list the steps
below which seem to me to be all that are needed to install SQL Server Agent. I used
Enterprise Manager to get this information.

If anyone can shoot any holes in the process, please do, that may be where my
problem lies.

a. Created NT accounts called MSSQLSERVER for the server and MSSQLSERVERAGENT
for SQL Agent.

b. Each of these accounts has the "right" to logon as a service.

c. Each of these accounts has "admin" rights.

d. Each of these accounts has been added to SQL SERVER under Security and Logins.

e. The properties assigned to each of the accounts are:
(1) on the general tab -- Windows NT authentication is in effect, database is master
and language is English (2) on the server roles tab -- System Administrators is checked
(3) on the database access tab -- the master database is checked

f. Under SQL Server Agent, properties, selecting the General Tab, in the frame
titled "service startup account":
(1) the circle labelled "this account" is clicked (2) the account is filled in using
domain namemssqlserveragent (3) the correct password is filled in taking case
into consideration

g. Under SQL Server Agent, properties, selecting the Connection Tab, in the frame
titled "sql server connection":
(1) the circle labelled "use windows NT authentication" is clicked


h. Right clicking the server and selecting properties show a multi-tab window
(1) the general tab shows that all three autostart boxes are checked
(2) the security tabs shows SQL Server and Windows authentication are in effect
(3) the startup service account shows "this account" selected and the account
is filled in with domain namemssqlserver and the password is filled in (taking
case into consideration)

In all cases above, the domain name is not the domain in which the server resides,
but is in a "trusted" domain.

Any help would be very much appreciated!!!!!

SQL Server Agent Fails To Start. Install ?

Sep 29, 2000

Two NT accounts have been created on the server.
MSSQLSERVER
MSSQLSERVERAGENT

These accounts have been given:
a. logon rights
b. unchangeable passwords
c. passwords which never expire
d. NT admin rights

Questions:

a. Do I have to create a login account within SQL Server 7 itself for these accounts?
b. Must the properties for "this account' box on the general tab include the domain name?
c. If the answer to (b) is yes, then can I use ".MSSQLSERVERAGENT" in the "this account"
box on the general tab?
d. Does the SQL Server Agent function require the "BUILTINadministrators" login in order
to work?

Any help in figuring out why I can't get my SQL Server Agent to startup will be appreciated!!

SQL Server Agent - Can A Job Be Triggered To Start By Another Job Ending?

Jul 3, 2007

Hi,



I have a job in SQL Server agent with 199 SSIS steps and growing. In the job log only 99 steps are shown, which is a problem if a step higher than 99 fails to run. I need the steps to run in sequence and preferable would like to split the job into several jobs each containing no more than 99 steps. The only thing I don't know is if it is possible to have the next job in sequence start only when the previous job has finished.



Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how it is done?



Many thanks,

Package Execution With SQL Server Agent Or DTEXEC

Apr 4, 2006



Hello,

I want execute package with SQL Server Agent. I create a job and I try all the solutions : my job doesn't want to work.

I success to launch the package but the execution failed.

I try the same job launching from the server : it doesn't work either.

So, I copy the command line (/FILE, /DTS or /SQL) and with DTEXEC utility it works when this command is executed on the server (on a client computer, the problem "the product level is insufficient" appears).



Why is it working with this utility and not with a job ?

I try to change every secured option (credential --> proxy --> Run as ; change the owner of the job ; etc.)

What options must be checked and modified ?



Thanks for your help !

I have been trying to schedule a package I design to run off hour, but unable to do so. Here is a strange issue:

1. I am able to run and excute the package successfully through VSS. After I finished designing all my flows and containers, my exceution was successful to all my data sources.

2. I was able to deploy and run the actual package by sending to my local file system and it runs successfully through Execute Package Utility.

HOWEVER!!! when I tried to schedule this package through file system under sql server agent to run at night or through start job within SQL agent always failed...

I am puzzled so I added some logging on the package. The error message shows the following....

<message>The connection "{087B883F-D188-440A-9501-FF38CF5CEC28}" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.

<message>Failed to acquire connection "10.0.2.2.LogDB.jhwang". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.

But I thought if I had set the connection correctly to remember my passwords and using SQL server standard login within my package (connection manager) and should resolved the connection issues....

Why did it failed when I try to run it under sqlagent? But not through Execute Package Utility? Is there is a special setting I need to do for it to run under sql agent?

I notice within the job step when I choose the file source to point to my package... there was a tab called data sources where it has the connections I defined in my package. Does it matter if I put a check box on them or not? Either way they failed to connect.

Please help!

SQL Server Agent Fails SSIS Package Execution At The End.

Oct 1, 2007

I have an SSIS ETL Package that runs perfectly in debugger.

It is saved to the local SQL Server using "rely on server security".

The SQL Server Agent job runs at night and the job fails right at the last step. It is actually loading the data, because I write a record with row counts to an audit table, and they are successfully incrementing.

The real issue to me is that it is failing randomly, sometimes it will run 7 times then fail once, others it will go 2 or 3 days then fail. The job runs at the same time every night, and takes within a minute or two variance.

I've looked at the logs, and done a trace, and I can't seem to find anything that would cause the failure. The closest thing to an error is a join parameter note in the trace that's on tthe MSDB database.

Not a lot to work with, I know... but does anybody have any advice for me? Thank you in advance!

SQL Server 2008 :: Unable To Start Agent Due To Blocked Access

Jun 28, 2015

Had some big problems with my SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 during the last maintenance running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise ( upgraded from Standard). I'm getting the following error,

"SQL Server blocked access to procedure 'dbo.sp_sqlagent_has_server_access' of component 'Agent XPs' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'Agent XPs' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'Agent XPs', see "Surface Area Configuration" in SQL Server Books Online."

I did a google search and found others with the problem but the resolution isn't working for me. I ran the following commands, heck I ran them multiple times. No errors come back running these commands. But the same error keeps happening, I even restart the service and then the server again.

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure 'Agent XPs', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO

The msdb got too big for the disk it was on. I had maintenance plans to clear out the all of histories but I didn't think of the mail items. When I finally saw this problem I tried clearing them out using the stored procedures only with it finally failing because the transaction log got full. Since we didn't have a lot of jobs scheduled I decided to just recreate the msdb. So I scheduled a maintenance window, download SQL Server Service Pack 3.

my steps are as follows:
->diff backup of msdb
->stopped the service and started it again with: NET START MSSQLSERVER /T3608
->detached msdb with: SQLCMD -E -SP-SRVR-SQL-01 -dmaster -Q"EXEC sp_detach_db msdb"
->moved it off the drive
->restarted the service without any startup flags
->recreated msdb with: SQLCMD -E -SP-SRVR-SQL-01 -i"D:Microsoft SQL ->ServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLInstallinstmsdb.sql" -o"D:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLInstallinstmsdb62715.out"

I looked at the log file and there were no actual error messages so I applied service pack 3 and restarted server after it installed, was actually prompted to restart. In my tests I was never prompted to restart the server.Now I never started the agent service after recreating the msdb database since I knew it wasn't on the same version. I just went directly to the latest SP. Our applications are running fine but now I cant do scheduled backups.
