So could it be related?

Is it ok to remove duplicate system PATH entries?

I have a system with many versions of SQL Server installed and I am trying to clean up the PATH (since it is so long).

I noticed I have many (nearly) duplicate entries for SQL Server, varying by only the last slash.   Is it ok to remove either the ones with the slash or the ones without the slash?   For example:

Dev to Prod

Hi,

I may be mixing two different areas here.

Our DEV machine has an MVC web app with SQL Server 2014 backend (database/data warehouse). We also have SSIS, SSRS and SSAS solutions.

Our PROD machine is now ready and we have installed SQL Server 2014. However, our instance names are different on each machine - DEV and PROD. As the db/dw is fully scripted, I can easily modify the scripts to recreate each on the PROD machine. However, the SSIS, SSRS and SSAS projects are currently linked to the DEV instances.

Do I need to manually update each instance name reference in these projects to the PROD instance name before deployment? Or is there a better procedure?

Also, I am are concerned that I will run into problems when I deploy our MVC web app to IIS on the PROD machine. ON our DEV machine, the MVC Identity system automatically created tables in our database:

dbo.AspNetRoles, dbo.AspNetUsers etc

Should I manually detach and attach these tables in PROD before I deploy the MVC web app?

Is it better to maybe make a copy of the MVC web app in DEV and connect this to the SQL Server instance on the PROD machine to ensure it still works, before I deploy?

Appreciate the help!

Replicating Node A to Node B after a SAP SWPM install on the Primary

$

Hello I'm hoping somebody might have an answer to my question.

We have two servers we are trying to setup with SQL 2008R2 database mirroring for SAP.  A primary (Node A) and a secondary (Node B) which will be the mirror.

SAP Import / Install was done with Node A through a distributed install via SWPM.

Mirror is setup between Node A and Node B.

SQL Logins from Node A have been created on Node B.

What other Node B "post installation" things need to be done to insure that SAP will work as expected?  Is there a specific order to complete these? 

Install of "SAP Host Agent"  from SAP Software Provisioning Manager
Install of "Operating System Users and Groups" from SAP Software Provisioning Manager
Create SQL Logins
Grant SQL Logins Roles/Rights
Window accounts
Create SQL Jobs

How should this be handled or How is this done so that the SQL Jobs are ready to go on Node B?  

There was special code that had to be added to each job when we did this for SQL AlwaysOn Availablity Groups so that the job new if it was suppose to run on the Primary, Secondary, or Both.

The mirror database is in a state of restoring.  It is can't be accessed.  It would make sense that this would be handled differently.
SQL Backup Devices 
Windows Environment Variables 
Windows Registry Keys 
Configuring SAP Applications for Database Mirroring
User environment of the <sid>adm user
Changes in Default.pfl
DBHOST parameter in the TMS domain profile


These are some of the things we have found, but what else we might be missing.  I have been unable to find a document that lists what needs to be done.  

I would be very interested if anybody else has come across these issues and how you resolved them.

Thank You,

Wade Morris

Unable to install SQL Server 2012 Developer

I have a problem with installing SQL Server 2012 (no matter which edition I choose). Installation usually runs well, but near the end shows up an error:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Setup

The following error has occurred:

The help link points to not-existing article on MSDN page. After I click OK button, the installation reaches it's end and shows up another, which tells, that Database Engine Services, Reporting Services - Native, Data Quality Services, Full-Text and Semantic Extractions for Search and SQL Server Replication failed to install.

After that I am able to start, for example SQL Management Studio, but cannot connect to database. Also services of SQL Server (Server, Server Agent, Full-text Filter, Reporting Services) are stopped and I am not able to start them manually (any try throws an error: "The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details").

I tried complete reinstalling of SQL Server, cleaning registry entries, different editions of that software - none method helped. Also, I tried the .iso images of installation media on other computers - it worked well and installed without any errors. My OS is Windows 8.1 x64.

We have a number of sql 2008 server with database owners running the gamut from current AD users (in Dev), "sa", dbo,  AD name of past DBA, etc. No rhyme or reason at all that I can detect. I am considering changing all database owners to "dbo". What are the consequences of this?

SQL Server Instance not being removed

Hello,

I am facing an issue where I am trying to remove a SQL server instance. The wizard completed successfully and no errors were reported in the wizard or in the log but when I list the instances again the instance I removed was still there and I could connect to the instance with no issues. Is it possible that the instance is broken or corrupt and needs repaired before it can be removed or is there a different way to remove this instance.

Thanks,

Todd

Installation of SQL Express 2014 blocked by Framework 4.0

Hello,

I have a very strange problem when I try to install SQL Express 2014 on 1 PC on my network.

The setup is blocking on the step "rules of functionnality" (I hope it is the good translation ...).

I ha ve a message that indicates that there is a problem the following checking : "It exists a Internet connection with the download center for Microsoft Framework 4.0". At the beginning I had Framework 3.5 and 4.5 installed on the PC.

When I tried to install manually Framework 4.0 I had a message that indicated that the setup was not possible because there was a Superior version. So I uninstall v4.5 and install v4.0 normally.

I run again SQL 2014 Express setup but I have always the same error. I take a look on Internet to look for the same problem but I found nothing.

Does someone can help me ?

Thanks in advance.

SQL Server Memory

$
0
0

Hello Folks,

I have a question with SQL Server RAM consumption, I have a customer who is running Microsoft Dynamics GP with too many users and too many applications, they had 32 GB RAM on the server and the SQL was consuming the full memory, I started the investigation and below what we did:

1. We have increased the RAM of the server to be 128 GB, their SQL Memory consumption was the same, it took all the available memory.

2. We have segregated the SQL databases into 2 clustered servers and implemented ACTIVE/ACTIVE clustering by having two instances of SQL on each server, kept the major "database" on one server and  moved all other databases to the second server, the second server memory is good and stable, but the first server is still consuming the full memory of the server.

3. We started investigating the database itself, we found major consumption of SQL Memory from custom reports the users been running with un-optimized queries, we have resolved this by creating a "Log Shipping" setup for the database to a new server and moved all the reporting connections to the new server, performance of the server was enhanced a bit, but it still consuming high memory of the server and sometimes by end of the day it reaches the full server memory.

4. Upgraded from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2012 with SP2!

All the above left the SQL for this database that is being used by Microsoft Dynamics GP only and for around 70 concurrent users, which we normally estimate to require 70-80 GB of memory with other customers, but here it is consuming 120 GB and sometimes users reporting slowness and "hangs" during transactions processing, and the only way to reduce the memory usage is by restarting the SQL Server service after working hours.

My questions are the following:

1. Is there a way to get a list of processes and queries that are currently consuming the SQL Server memory? I need to know what is really consuming the memory to take actions accordingly, I tried the "Processes" tab of the "Activity Monitor", but the "Memory Use" column is always between 16 and 24 KB for each query, is there a way to get a break down for all queries that is consuming the memory, so the summation of these will represent the actual memory usage? I found too many scripts over the internet but none returned what I am looking for.

2. Lets say the a big process was initiated and caused the SQL to consume the server memory, is there a way to release this memory usage after the disposal of the process? So the SQL memory usage returns back to the normal situation?
