Migrating Plastic SCM from SQLite to MSSQL Server backend - sql-server

There is Plastic SCM Server 6.0.16.1765 installed on the development server (MS Windows) with SQLite backend. It needs to migrate the existing repositories to MSSQL Server backend, but something goes wrong.
I followed the instruction step-by-step and it ends up with the error message(at step 7):
The migration progress has failed: The database repositories can't be created. Check the server log (plastic.server.log). Error: Directory lookup for the file "c:\program files\plasticscm5\server\repositories.plastic" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.
I checked as suggested (the server log) and it has the same message as above.
There's no c:\program files\plasticscm5\server\repositories.plastic file or catalog at server - it's true. SQLite data files are located on different place. Why does the plastic migrator check this path?
The repository storage connection is configured using integrated security:
Data Source=MSSQL_SERVER\INSTANCE;Integrated Security=SSPI;DATABASE={0};
Note: the SQLite data files have the extension .sqlite, so it will never find the repositories.plastic file.

After spending some hours, it was found that the problem is in optional parameter Database path. Actually, the parameter must be mandaroty in case of MSSQL Server backend. Neither migration wizard nor the error message gave anything can help. The migration log is missing.

I have an SSIS package where Source: IBM DB2, Target: SQL Server.
I have created a package in SSIS and able to run perfectly in my local machine. All connections work perfectly, data populates in the target tables.
However, after deploying it to SQL Server the package fails with following error in screenshot. Checked the server it has IBM OLEDB drivers for DB2 installed in it. Please help me out.
Your error message shows:
SQL1031N The database directory cannot be found on the indicated file
system.
This is not a programming matter, it is only configuration. The message means that the configuration (of the Db2 product on your SSIS hostname) is either not yet started, or has not yet been finished.
You can do the configuration with either a GUI, or via command-lines.
This work must be done on the hostname where the data-source is required (e.g. on the SSIS environment).
For a GUI: Use remote desktop to that SSIS environment, and then use the odbcad32 tool. Notice that there can be both a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version of odbcad32, so use the correct bitness to match the SSIS and Db2-driver bitness. Use odbcad32 to create and configure the data-source for the Db2-database. Usually that means creating and configuring a System data source. You can also test connectivity to the DSN from within odbcad32. The act of using odbcad32 to create the data source will (under the covers) cause the Db2 "database directory" to be created.
You can also do this configuration via either command-line actions (if the relevant Db2 tools are on the PATH, see db2 catalog tcpip node , db2 catalog database, db2 catalog system data source commands ), or alternatively by populating an XML file called db2dsdriver.cfg(which the Db2 driver interprets at runtime). All of these commands and configuration files are fully described in the free Db2 Knowledge Centre online.

Due to null value of $(DefaultDataPath) Could not publish my DBProject to SQL Server 2017 on linux based Docker Container

I am working on VS2017 SSDT with my DBProject while multiple FileGroups. Locally on Windows based SQL Server Instance this DBProject is deployed without any problem but when I deploy this Multi FileGroup based DBProject to my SQl Server 2017 on docker instance during deployment the following error occurs and deployment gets terminated.
A file activation error occurred. The physical file name
'ActiveBiz.Core1_ArchTransactionDataFile_1.ndf' may be incorrect.
Diagnose and correct additional errors, and retry the operation.

In google search I found that $(DefaultDataPath) not resolving due to this this filename without any path appears. Also find that We cannot set the value for $(DefaultDataPath) via code inside Deployment Script. So Can anyone tell me how to resolve this Issue?

Access Oracle data on Sql server

I need to make a linked server on a SQL Server instance to get data from Oracle, but I'm finding it difficult.
I set up ODBC Oracle and the connection test succeeds, but when I try to create the linked server in SQL Server, the below message occurs.
The user of the Agent service and MSSQLSERVER is LocalSystem
Can not initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL"
for linked server "10.40.22.7". OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked
server "10.40.22.7" returned message "The specified driver could not
be loaded due to system error 1114: A dynamic link library (DLL)
initialization routine failed. (Oracle in OraClient12Home1, G: \ app \
client \ adm_bds \ product \ 12.1.0 \ client_1 \ SQORA32.DLL). "
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
The file in the briefed folder exists.
Oracle version independent problem.
Restart the MS SQL server service after installing the ODAC.
MS SQL service must refresh the environment variables added after the installation of ODAC.
Given that it was >1 year ago, this probably won't help Fabiano but may help others out there...
Encountered the same issue and it turned out to be the permission setting of SQORA32.DLL as well as DLLs that SQORA32 depends on.
The account running MSSQLServer process needs to have read/execute permission on all relevant DLLs in that folder. (Use Task Manager to identify the account)
Add the account to security setting of the folder where SQORA32.DLL resides and let all files in the folder inherit the permission.
If you've changed the folder permission and you're still encountering the error message, ensure that the other files did not have permission inheritance disabled. My files weren't inheriting the folder permission (coz some genius disabled it) and despite giving SQORA32.DLL the correct permission setting, the same error message kept popping up and complaining about SQORA32.DLL. As it turns out, the error message was a red herring; it was the dependent DLLs that didn't have the correct permission setting.
~des
The issue for me was that the folder that contains SQORA32.DLL was not in the PATH. After adding it to the system PATH and restarting sql server, the connection was established with no error.

Starting sql server despite database files no longer existing

I have the following situation:
A sql server 2014 is installed
While the server was shutdown the hard drive the databases were on had troubles which resulted in the loss of these files
So now I have the situation that the server has databases configured to be existing where the files don't exist any longer.
When I now try to start the sql server via the configuration tools it does not start and in the log files I see that he throws an error that he doesn't find the database files. When I tried to copy the same files there from another server I still had the same problem but the error message was now "access denied" (as naturally they had different users).
So my question is: What (aside from a reinstall) can I do to get the sql server up and running again?
Change the database file permissions to allow access for SQL Server. Look at an existing file to see what permissions must be configured.

Windows could not start the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) on Local Computer... (error code 3417)

For some reasons I moved this folder : (Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL) to another drive, then returned it to the same location, but sql server has stopped working, showing this error when trying to start it again:
Windows could not start the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) on Local
Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this
is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to
service-specific error code 3417.
I tried many solutions discussed in different forums, but none of them work for me.
The folder is not compressed or encrypted.
My sql server version is 2012:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 11.0.3128.0
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 11.0.3128.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.18047
Operating System 6.1.7601
Thanks for your kind help in advance.
Very simple to solve this problem.
Just open RUN window(Window+R) and type services.msc:
Services.msc window
Find the SQL within name column and right click on that.
right click on SQL as in screenshot
You will get properties option, click on properties.
One new window will be open and there you have to click on Log On tab. And select the Local System Account. then apply and okay.
Select Local system Account
After that come again in services.msc window. and right click on sql and click start.
And finally, SQL Server services started successfully. enjoy and keep learning.
Check if you did compress the driver or folder in where you put the .mdf file.
If so, plesae goto the driver or folder, change the compress option by
Properties -> Advanced and unticked the “Compress contents to save disk space” checkbox.
After above things, you should be able to start the service again.
Run this command after opening cmd as administrator
net start mssqlserver /T902
This command is called trace flag 902. It is used to bypass script upgrade mode. Every time when you try to start your sql service it also looks for script upgrades. and when the script upgrade fail your service unable to start. So, Whenever we have such upgrade script failure issue and SQL is not getting started, we need to use trace flag 902 to start SQL.
I hope this will help you..
In my particular case, I fixed this error by looking in the Event Viewer to get a clue as to the source of the issue:
I then followed the steps outlined at Rebuilding Master Database in SQL Server.
Note: Take some good backups first. After erasing the master database, you will have to attach to all of your existing databases again by browsing to the .mdf files.
In my particular case, the command to rebuild the master database was:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2012>setup /ACTION=rebuilddatabase /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=mike /sapwd=[insert password]
Note that this will reset SQL server to its defaults, so you will have to hope that you can restore the master database from E:\backup\master.bak. I couldn't find this file, so attached the existing databases (by browsing to the existing .mdf files), and everything was back to normal.
After fixing everything, I created a maintenance plan to back up everything, including the master database, on a weekly basis.
In my particular case, this whole issue was caused by a Seagate hard drive getting bad sectors a couple of months after its 2-year warranty period expired. Most of the Seagate drives I have ever owned have ended up expiring either before or shortly after warranty - so I'm avoiding Seagate like the plague now!!
This usually occurs when the master.mdf or the mastlog.ldf gets corrupt . In order to solve the issue goto the following path C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL , there you will find a folder ” Template Data ” , copy the master.mdf and mastlog.ldf and replace it in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Data folder . Thats it . Now start the MS SQL service and you are done
I have had the same error recently. I have checked the folder Log of my Server instance.
x:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\
and I have found this errors in logs
Starting up database 'master'.

SQL Server shutdown has been initiated
So for me it was an easy fix. I just added proper access rights to this files to the sql server service account.
I hope it will help
In My case I had to Upgrade the SQL Server since evaluation licence had been expired.
What is System Event Log saying?
Have you tried to repair:
Sql Server Installation Center -> Maintenance -> Repair
I was getting this error today. And above answers didn't help me. I was getting this error when I try to start the SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) service in Services(services.msc).
When I checked the error log at the location C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Log, there was an entry related TCP/IP port.
2018-06-19 20:41:52.20 spid12s TDSSNIClient initialization failed
with error 0x271d, status code 0xa. Reason: Unable to initialize the
TCP/IP listener. An attempt was made to access a socket in a way
forbidden by its access permissions.
Recently I was running a MSSQLEXPRESS image in my docker container, which was using the same TCP/IP port, that caused this issue.
So, what I did is, I just reset my TCP/IP by doing the below command.
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
Once the resetting is done, I had to restart the machine and when I try to start the SQLEXPRESS service again, it started successfully. Hope it helps.
Go to the services and check if the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service is running stop it and start your SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service it should work.
see the image:
Make sure both drive have the same partition - ( like FAT or NTFS, preferably NTFS ) also make sure he NETWORK SERVICE account, has the access.
Database rebuild fixed it for me as well. Also had to restore the old database from backup as it got corrupted during power outage...
The copy master.mdf procedure did not work for me.
i had the same problem before
the error code 3417 : the SQL SERVER cannot start the master database,
without master db SQL SERVER can't start
MSSQLSERVER_3417
The master database records all the system-level information for a SQL Server system. This includes instance-wide metadata such as logon accounts, endpoints, linked servers, and system configuration settings. In SQL Server, system objects are no longer stored in the master database; instead, they are stored in the Resource database. Also, master is the database that records the existence of all other databases and the location of those database files and records the initialization information for SQL Server. Therefore, SQL Server cannot start if the master database is unavailable
MSDN Master DB
so you need to reconfigure all settings after restoring master db
solutions
replace master mdf and ldf files with the same files from another instance of sql Server as long as its the same version reference
Rebuild System Databases refrence
reinstall sql server
I copied a master.mdf und mastlog.ldf from another Computer (luckily, we have a lot of Clients with the same configuration, otherwise template data would be perhaps necessary). I backed up the damaged master.mdf and mastlog.mdf. After that I replaced the bad ones with the ones from another Computer. And it worked. I needed to start the MSSQLSERVER Service of course. But, after that I had Problem that the user was already existing but orphaned (error code 15023), I executed the query
USE Database_name
EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Auto_Fix', 'username'
after that, everything was working smoothly. Hope this helps you and many thanks for this thread, saved me :)
Just rename the current ErrorLog to any other name like Errorlog _Old and change any old Log file to Error log file
try to start the SQL server services.. That's it. it will work..
Sql server error log file got corrupted. that is why it gives the problem even when you have all permissions.. when you delete it. new file will be generated.
I encountered this issue after changing database location. And I solved it by moving system databases back to their default locations. Although I will recommend not to move system databases like master and model to some other location. But if you want then you can refer to this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/databases/move-system-databases?view=sql-server-2017
Re-entering credentials will help to start the services:
Start > Services
Right click on SQL Sever > Properties
Log On
Re-enter credentials and apply
Start the services now
The reason behind getting this Error Code : 3417 may be as follows:
One cause may be due to the Network account for the Data folder in
Program files.
The other reason may be because of some Windows
settings changed somehow.
Example: If for some reasons you have moved this folder (Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL) to another location then returned it to the same location. So, though it was returned to the same location the server may stop working and show error code 3417 when trying to start it again.
How To Fix SQL Error 3417
Go to "C:Program Files Microsoft SQLServerMSSQL.1MSSqLData"
Security/Permission settings
Network Service Account
Add a Network Service account
Then again check all
As stated here, you can try this third party tool as well.
A few times now, I've experienced various instances MS SQL Server to fail with this error after a Windows update. Most of the quick fixes above did not work for me.
What did:
copy all production databases over to some safe place
remove everything SQL Server via add/remove programs
get the latest SQL Server Express or Dev & install it
move the databases over to their home and reattach them.
For me, this was the fastest solution. Trying to find the cause of the error and fixing it is an afternoon of googling misty error messages. But YMMV.
In my case problem was about evaluation period expiration. I also went through this thread of StackOverFlow.You can investigate your problem by going to Event Viewer --> Windows Log (Application) and then search for your error id. For Step by Step guide to view error id in event viewer visit this...
