SQl Server Agent is missing from my SSMS.
I have attached the screen shot for your reference.
Please let me know if anybody knows the reason?
You're using Azure SQL DB. It does not support SQL Agent.
You'll need to look at using Windows Task Scheduler or a commercial product to provide scheduling services.
To use SSIS with Azure SQL Database, you need to use Azure Data Factory.
You use the SSIS catalog to store your SSIS projects, and Azure Data Factory to schedule them. You can also schedule them with Azure SQL Database Elastic Jobs.

I'm trying to build daily ETL process from Azure SQL Database to on-premises SQL Server data warehouse.
I have experience in ETL between on-premises SQL Servers but when it comes to Azure I'm not sure the best practise. I did some researches and got the options on ETL and ADP.
Would anyone here have similar experience before, could shed me some lights? Any comment, example or tutorial are much appreciated.
There are many ways can help you build daily ETL process from Azure SQL Database to on-premises SQL Server data warehouse.
I would suggest you think about Azure Data Factory or Azure SQL database Data Sync.
Data Factory can help you build a pipeline to copy the data between Azure SQL database and On-premise SQL Server. You could create a time trigger to trigger the copy daily. Ref these documents:
Copy and transform data in Azure SQL Database by using Azure Data
Factory
Copy data to and from SQL Server by using Azure Data Factory
Data Sync is a feature of Azure SQL database, you can sync the data between SQL database and on-premise SQL Server automatically. I think that's the easiest and cheapest way which can achieve your request in some way. Just note the requirements and limitations.
And like #Nick said, Azure SQL database doesn't support windows authentication, please use SQL authentication or AD.
HTH.
I am trying to replicate the source database (Oracle 11g and MS SQL Server 201x) to Azure SQL Database. Initially I thought of using Azure DMS(Database Migration Service) to do a full load + Change Data Capture for changes. After started to work on this, I learnt that the DMS requires Control Server privileges on the SQL Server Database and DBA Role on Oracle. We might not get these permissions on the source databases as they are managed by third party company (SaaS model). However, we have read permissions on the source database/tables.
We have to achieve the following :
Replicate data from Oracle Source System to Azure SQL Database and
Replicate data from SQL Server 201x to Azure SQL Database.
What should be the approach?
Azure SQL Data Sync? I read on the forum that it actually writes/creates tables in the source database. This won't be acceptable.
Transactional replication for SQL Server? - Has any one tried? Can you please share your experience?
Third option I thought was to use Attunity Replicate (however, not sure about the licensing costs)
Can someone please help with approaching this business problem?

You said, you have read permissions on the source database/tables(Oracle and SQL Server). I suppose that you just have the read-only permission.
Then the answer is no, we can not copy the data or migrate the database(Oracle and SQL Server) to Azure SQL database without the CONTROL SERVER permission.
Data sync can help you sync the data from SQL server to Azure SQL database, but you need have permission to Azure SQL too. Create the table with same schema and so.
If you don't the permission on SQL server, the Transactional replication also doesn't work.
For Attunity Replicate, I don't know much it, sorry that I can't answer you.
For your questions:
1.Replicate data from Oracle Source System to Azure SQL Database
Please reference this Azure Database Migration Guide: Migrate Oracle to Azure SQL Database.
This scenario describes how to migrate an Oracle instance to Azure SQL Database.
2.Replicate data from SQL Server 201x to Azure SQL Database.
Reference: Azure Database Migration Guide:Migrate SQL Server to Azure SQL Database.
This scenario describes how to migrate a SQL Server instance to Azure SQL Database.
We also could use bellow way to migrate the database with SSMS:
Create a dacpac file and import to Azure SQL.
SSMS Deploy database to Microsof Azure SQL database.
For details, please see: Learn how to Migrate a SQL Server database to SQL Azure server.
Hope this helps.
I'm having issues deploying databases to SQL Azure DB from SQL Server Management Studio using the Tasks > "Deploy Databases to Microsoft SQL Azure" option path. I notice this tends to fail if the database has views. Is this a well-known issue or am I doing something wrong?
Please consider not using SSMS and use Microsoft Data Migration Assistant (DMA) instead. DMA is the easiest way to migrate a database to Azure SQL Database. It gives you an assessment of the database and tells you about possible blocking points and existent incompatibilities of the database with Azure SQL Database. You can download DMA from here.
I am trying to migrate On-premises SQL Server to Azure VM.
I am writing in reference to below link
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-migrate-onpremises-database/#azure-vm-deployment-wizard-tutorial
I am having multiple applications in which few are hosted in Azure and few are On-premises.
All these applications contact on-premise SQL Server for data manipulations.
In some scenario these applications creates dynamic SQL Agent Jobs!
Now my requirement is to move on-premise SQL Server to Azure cloud. I would like to know how can I manage these dynamic SQL Agents in Azure?
In short, My question is: how can I migrate below items?
SSIS packages associated with these databases
SQL Agent Jobs scheduled in server (created dynamically)
File Stream associated with server databases
Also I am planning to use SQL Server "AlwaysOn" offering. So how to synch these SQL Agent Jobs in these shared Virtual Machines?
I was referring https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-general-limitations/ and it says as follow
Microsoft Azure SQL Database does not support SQL Server Agent or
jobs. You can, however, run SQL Server Agent on your on-premises SQL
Server and connect to Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
SQL Agents can be dynamically created as shown here https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3052/simple-way-to-create-a-sql-server-job-using-tsql/ My question is, will these stored procedures run in azure cloud?
Update
It’s challenge but can be done. We need to setup new Job, which constantly monitors and pull the current role of the replica, based on PRIMARY role, we run the job needs to do if it is the primary.
Below link gives me hint
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/45137/sql-server-agent-jobs-and-availability-groups but I am looking for step by step blog/article to achieve this.
My boss asked me to do some reports with SQL Azure Reporting. I'm quite new to this business, but I already did some reports with success on SSRS, but now I am facing some difficulties on how to setup the SQL Azure Reporting.
First, I tried to enter on Azure Portal and could not find the SQL Azure Reporting.
Am I doing this in the right way?
I already tried to do some research on Google, but I still get stucked on this.
My apologies if this question is too primary.
Thank you anyway.
The Azure SQL Database PaaS service does not have an embedded reporting tool. With that said, there are a few options for running SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS):
If you have an on-premises instance of SSRS, you can use your Azure SQL Database as a target and create reports
If you are looking to run everything in Azure, you can host an instance of SSRS in an Azure VM (IaaS). To accomplish this, there are two scenarios:
Provision an instance of SQL Server in an Azure VM and configure SSRS
Provision an instance of Windows Server in an VM Azure, "bring your own SQL Server license", and install SSRS in the VM.
If you're not bounded to SSRS, PowerBI (http://powerbi.com/) is great for authoring reports in the cloud.
