Exception when starting Snapshot Agent when setting up database replication

I am trying to set up replication between databases. I followed this tutorials:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/replication/tutorial-preparing-the-server-for-replication?view=sql-server-ver15
and after:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/replication/tutorial-replicating-data-between-continuously-connected-servers?view=sql-server-ver15
I went through first without any problems. Almost completed the second, but I stuck on step View the status of snapshot generation
When I try to strat snapshot agent, I get error:
Exception Message: An unspecified error had occurred in the native SQL Server connection component.
I tried to search on the internet MSSQL_REPL55012 (that's error code I get), but didn't succeed.
I tried to look in SQL Profiler, Jobs history, Replication Monitor, even ran failing job step from PowerShell, but couldn't get any more info on that.
What might be the issue? Anybody else stumbled upon that?
I am using:
SSMS version 15.0.18206.0
SQL Server engine 15.0.2000.5
I finally got it resolved. The issue was missing OLE DB driver.
I just downloaded latest driver. Then I got msoledbsqlr.rll driver in directory C:\Windows\SysWOW64\1033. Then I copied to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\COM directory, so it can be found by snapshot.exe, which is executable run by Snapshot Agent.
Alternatvely, one can define environmental variable to point to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\1033 direcotry, so it will be found there.
Another issue might be that 64-bit SQL tries to use 32-bit drivers (msoledbsql.dll, msoledbsqlr.rll), but it wasn't issue in my case.
I know this question was answered but for future reference ,updating SQL server 2019 to latest CU solved for me.

Installing UDFs in Netezza (Aginity)

I'm trying to use the GROUP_CONCAT() UDF in a Netezza query but I have no idea how to install the function into my database! I've downloaded the c++ code and there's an installer in the folder but I don't know how to run that!
I've been googling it for about a day now with no luck. I'm using a Windows computer and am running Netezza through Aginity.
Would anyone be able to help me out?
Thanks in advance,
Conor
UDFs are installed through a command line interface on the Netezza host, and not through SQL. You will need to sftp the source code to the host, connect with an SSH tool (e.g. putty or the Aginity SSH client under Tools->SSH Terminal), and run the install script from there. Your database login will not work for logging into the host. You may have to work with your administrator to get access.
Here is an exmaple of innstalling the c++ version of GROUP_CONCAT into a database called TESTDB.
[nz#netezza group_concat]$ ls -1
GroupConcat.cpp
GroupConcatSep.cpp
install
[nz#netezza group_concat]$ ./install testdb
CREATE AGGREGATE

Pentaho - repository Creation Issue

Am trying to create Repository in Pentaho DI by using SQl server and Mysql, in that am facing a issue,
Please some one can help me to resolve that .
Repositary login failed.
Detailed cause:org.pentaho.di.core.exception,kettleException:
Error connecting to the repositary!The version of the repository is -1.-1.
This Kettle edition requires it to be at least version 5.0 and as such an upgrade is required.
To upgrade, backup your database and export the repository to XML for additional safety.
Then select the 'Edit' button followed by the 'Create or Upgrade' button.
Please consult the Upgrade Guide for eventually special instructions for this version.
Try following steps:
Check the existence of
"\data-integration\lib\mysql-connector-java-5.1.16-bin.jar
create a new database as repository,
select button [create|update], when select Dry run, please select N.

Run PDI jobs direct inside pentaho bi server 5.1 CE

is it in principle possible to upload and run PDI jobs in bi server?
I have tried it, but always get this error in the user console:
Sorry. We really did try. Something went wrong. Please try again or contact your administrator.
in conjunction with this log file error message:
2014/08/02 14:04:43 - RepositoriesMeta - Reading repositories XML file: FromInputStream
14:04:43,384 ERROR [GeneratorStreamingOutput] Error generating content from content generator with id [viewer]
Could some give me a hint? Thanks!
Easy answer: That does not work in the CE edition. That functionality is available only in the EE edition.
I'm not sure that's by design, so I think you should open an issue at jira.pentaho.com.
In the meantime, you can run PDI jobs in the biserver CE if you use xactions or CDA.

Getting error in attach AdventuresWorks database in SQL Server (Using window 7)

I am newbie in Sql Server.I am trying to attach AdventureWorks database with Sql Server 2008(Window 7).following Error -
Can anyone tell me that how I can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
This is the installer package (msi). You must run it from explorer firstly.
You are trying to attach AdventureWorksDB.msi. First run this msi file, it will extract its contents somewhere. Then you will need to attach a file with extension .mdf.
