We have a windows 2003 server with crystal reports running on this, that ties to a sql db. Yesterday afternoon all reports that I was trying to run suddenly started freezing. I thought initially it was device specific and it was my pc and tried several other devices. Then one of my analysts noticed he couldn't run some standard Thursday reports which also froze .. etc.. Where does the error log for each of these reports write to so I can investigate the root cause?
Running slowly will not necessarily produce an error. The best thing for you to do in this situation is run the SQL used in your reports directly against SQL server from management studio, this way you have a whole host of performance monitoring options, you will also get a better feel of what the issue could be. Continue to troubleshoot different factors procedurally and you should find the issue.

Recently I was tasked to move two of our SQL Server Agent Jobs from one server to another as the old server is getting retired. These jobs run perfectly on the old server. Keep in mind I was not the one who created the SSIS packages that these jobs use. I also consider myself to have basic knowledge of SSIS.
I don't have permission to manipulate our servers so I had to work with our IT department to get this work done. I sent the IT department the two .dtsx files for the packages and they setup copies of the two jobs on the new server.
When I run these two jobs on the new server, they complete successfully but they run very quickly (compared to the old server's jobs) and I notice while looking in the message logs that they're writing 0 rows to my Excel output files.
There are no errors or even warnings that differ from the message logs I see for them on the old server where they're working perfectly so I'm at a loss for what's going on. I'm assuming I missed something very obvious like having to modify the jobs in Visual Studio in some way to account for what server they actually live on as I literally sent the same exact .dtsx files that are used on the old server (I was assuming what server the jobs live on doesn't matter from the SSIS/Visual Studio perspective because they don't pull any data from either one).
Anyway I'm just spitballing what the problem might be. Any help would be appreciated.
I need to find all the issues discovered in a snapshot/scan in Sonarqube. I can't use the web API since the volume can be excessive for new projects on first scan. I have a query that can find the latest snapshot with the project information. I can query issues by project. I can't figure out how to relate issues to a snapshot. There has to be a way since Sonarqube does it - New issues on the Project page.
Has anyone done this or have enough experience with the crazy schema to be able to figure it out? Can't wait for the schema rationalization...
Sonarqube 5.6.3 on Windows 2012 R2 with SQL Server 2012.
There is currently no association between snapshot and issue. Nor has there ever been one. The closest you can come is to use date parameters to narrow the set of issues created right around the time of your analysis. Note that this could be difficult if you run analyses close together.
The "new issues" metrics shown on the project homepage are just that - metrics. However, if you click through on one, you'll find yourself in a date-based Issues search.
You can do the same sort of thing using the web service, again, via date-based criteria. Or you could use the sinceLeakPeriod parameter.
I'm working on a visual studio 2012 project which using vb.net.
In the project, the program need to link back (using oledb) to an old school .DBF database.
During development stage, which the db allocated in localhost, everything work fine.
Now, when implementing the program, which the database is sit in a server the connection become horribly slow.
All the clients who using the program facing the same problem when opening the program or retrieve data from the database.
Example,
Opening an Employee List Table, around 20 records with 2 columns.
Local : took around 1 second to load.
Over Network : took more than 5 minutes to load.
Anyone here facing the same problem before and any solution that may overcome this ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I've been working on a similar application recently and I found that hosting DBF files from anything other than a windows server 2003 server showed similar SLOW results as to what you are describing... Something about how that server version serves files(I think it's related to opportunistic locking somehow) allows the client machines to receive the DBF data at a rate closer to what you were seeing at the development stage.
Overall I think doing anything other than allowing an DBF files for import to another type of database type (ie SQL ).. is a waste of time nowadays... DBF files are terrible and as you are learning don't serve well anymore anyway. Go XML or SQL or both! :)
The background to my problem is based on distributed computing. I want to have a database with some numbers in them and then a number of computers go through each row calculating another number (a little bit of an over simplification).
The problems I'm having are routed in my poor understanding of SQL servers (I think). I've got Microsoft SQL server 2012 (and 2008) installed on this machine and I've somehow managed to make a server for this task but then the problems arise.
I can't add a table to the server (I'm trying to do this in VS2010). When I expand the server and right click on tables and select add new table i get the following error:
"The server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 are supported."
That stops me making a table and from there I can't move on. I've downloaded and installed the VS2010 SP1 (and re-installed it again when it didn't fix the problem) as I found this suggested for similar issues.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I've read around but nothing seems to work, people suggest using "SQL Management Studio" but I don't seem to have this installed!
Also, I haven't gotten to this step yet, but if this gets fixed any advice/links on how to access the database from a different machine (over the same local network) would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Fraser
R Harvey gave you the pointer to SSMS - that's the ideal tool to use.
As for other computers accessing your local database - the name of your computer (where MSSQL is installed) is the name of the server in your connection string.
Please forgive me if this post is in the wrong place, but as your all the cleverest bunch of guys I know, advice would be appreciated.
Another user in my company wrote [and on another pc], installed the new application [written in vb.net I think - but maybe c#].
He left the company a month a go, and I have now started to get problems [or rather notice them for the first time] - the files were being logged to SQL Server on the network. Now I notice that a month ago the Network SQL Server 2008 has not been logging the data, but in fact it has been accumulating under SQL 2005 on the local machine that the software is installed on, and the temp file is over 100mb big...
I suspect that the IT department froze his account when he left, and this disrupted the SQL access and program network permissions. The Event Viewer seems to support this theory by logging red critical errors that basically say [unable to connect to SQL server etc etc].
The program runs now as a guest [It always ran as a guest]. So I cant see how freezing or deleting his account would affect things.
Do you know how I can fix this without re-installing everything?
Thanks in advance.
Jim.
here's a couple of things to check for starters:
what accounts the SQL services on the machine are running under e.g. http://sql-articles.com/articles/general/sql-server-service-accounts
which account is the application logging in as
