Microsoft Data Quality Services Refresh of client view table error - sql-server

I am trying to run SQL Server Data Quality Services on SQL Server 2014 with 32GB of RAM, plenty of disk space, and the latest updates (Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (SP2-CU2) (KB3188778) - 12.0.5522.0 (X64) Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.3 (Build 9600: ) (Hypervisor))
The data resides on the same server, separate database.
Knowledge base is created and published with three domains over about a million records table. And that where it stops working: creating data quality project fails after displaying cheerful message "Analysis of data source has been completed successfully" - clicking "Next" button leads to message #1, and, after restarting the application (and the server - just in case), the message #2
SQL Server Data Quality Services server has stopped working
Refresh of client view table for user [domain\user] failed.
These are fairly consistent.
Examining both the server and the client logs reveals nothing (besides a full stack dump for the error), and the only suggestion from Microsoft forums is “to apply latest service pack”; the latest service pack has been applied but still no cigar.
Any insights/suggestions would be highly appreciated!
thank you,
-al
P.S. Excerpt from the client log:
2/13/2017 9:19:26 AM|[]|1|ERROR|CLIENT|Microsoft.Ssdqs.Studio.ViewModels.Utilities.UIHelper|An error has occurred.
Microsoft.Ssdqs.Infra.Exceptions.EntryPointException: Refresh of client view table for user [domain\user] failed.;
at Microsoft.Ssdqs.Proxy.Database.DBAccessClient.Exec();

After poking around I have found a question similar to my on MSDN blog: a user complained that his DQS installation has STOPPED working after applying CU2 to his SQL Server 2014 instance... So, I downgraded mine from [(SP2-CU2) (KB3188778)] to [(SP2) (KB3171021)], and - drums rolling - everything started working!
This is not a solution but an acceptable workaround, and I can continue analyzing my data until I upgrade to SQL Server 2016, and the fun begins anew!

MS Access on Windows 10 drops connection to SQL Server randomly

We have a MS Access 2010 app, using SQL Server 2008 R2 as its database. All workstations were running on Windows 7 with no problems.
Our customer started to upgrade the workstations to Windows 10, and now we see connection to the server drops at a random occasions. Not related to any specific action, query, report or form.
The application is using ODBC connection to access the tables.
When this happens, all connections to all tables are dropped, and the app is unusable.
To resolve this, we need to restart the application and everything is working fine again, until the next time.
We opened up a table when this error occurs and see all the records showing #Name as the data.
Please help
Tested the network connection - no problems or errors
Upgraded SQL Server Service Pack to the latest (thought it might related to TLS version)

SSMA hangs on connecting to microsoft access database

SQL Server Migration Assistant for access hangs after selecting MS Access database, it just shows 0% and nothing happens. Up to this point, everything worked fine, but after I configured encrypted connections on the server with a TLS certificate, for some reason starts to hang at 0%. At the same time, SQL Server Management Studio connects over an encrypted connection without issues and no other issues were[enter image description here noticed anymore.
Perhaps this information will help someone. I was able to solve my issue in the following way. I uninstall SSMA first, then uninstall Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable. Rebooted the machine, downloaded it again, and installed first SSMA then Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable.
BTW, what I reported earlier was on a Windows 10 machine. Just tried on a Windows Server box and did not run into any problem. That Windows Server box had the most recent defender patch, a slightly different version of course. Version 1.343.352.0

SQL Server - Cannot Attach Database (869) or need Import .sbf|.dbf (visual fox pro)

Long time reader first time poster!
I have a bit of a unique problem which is intensified by my lack of SQL server knowledge. I have SQL Query writing ability but my server side admin is very weak.
Background:
I am currently working at a very small charity that had a "home-made" Superbase CRM solution which died. The tables which make up this CRM are .sbf files which I wasn't able to open with any other software.
Luckily I had exported the necessary tables to .dbf files before the Superbase died. Sadly these files do not operate as you would expect, so can't be opened in Access/Excel etc.
After lots of searching and testing, I found a work-a-round which came in the form of a visual fox pro driver which when installed became an option on the SQL import and export tool. This allowed me to import all the tables to my local SQL database.
For the last 12+ months I have been using the SQL Server studio as tool for data mining and analysis.
Last week we had a consultant IT guy come in and migrate our PC's to O365 (Azure?). I was on holiday at the time but beforehand I had made him aware of my server and the location of the databases. I made it clear that these items were absolutely crucial to the charity.
He did the migration and ensured that the databases were retained but didn't install a local SQL server but did install SQL Server studio 2012.
The Problem:
I cannot attach the databases.
Attach database failed for Server 'DESKTOP-PDTHLCL\SQLSERVER'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
The database 'FINANCE' cannot be opened because it is version 869. This server supports version 782 and earlier. A downgrade path is not
supported. Could not open new database 'FINANCE'. CREATE DATABASE is
aborted. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 948)
I have done lots and lots of reading in an attempt to solve this issue, at first thinking that I just need a later install of Local SQL DB but I exhausted that. - I have basically uninstalled and installed every version I could find :-)
From my investigation I have found out that the 869 error is a permissions issue not a version issue (unconfirmed).
In an ideal world I would love to be able to attach my databases to the new server. (Please help)
If this just isn't possible, then my only other solution would be to re-import the .sbf(.dbf) files to the new server.
The problem I have is I cannot remember how I got the visual fox pro drivers to display in the import export software. I have them installed but they don't show.
I would really appreciate any help you can give me, I have spoken to the IT guy and he admitted that this is beyond the realms of his expertise.
Visual Fox Pro Driver installed

Visual Fox Pro Driver installed2
.Current Server version
Please forgive me if the answers of these questions are already on the forum, sometimes I find the solutions are too technical or not close enough to my specific problem to be helpful.
Thanks

This error:
The database 'FINANCE' cannot be opened because it is version 869.
This server supports version 782 and earlier. A downgrade path is not
supported. Could not open new database 'FINANCE'. CREATE DATABASE is
aborted. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 948)
Means that the database files are from a SQL Server 2017 instance and you're attempting to attach (or restore) them on an earlier version of SQL Server (SQL Server 2014).
To resolve, just install the correct version of SQL Server, or upgrade the instance to SQL Server 2017 or SQL Server 2019.

SQL Server 2014 - Windows could not start SQL server on local computer

I have an AWS instance, on which SQL Server 2014 has been running for more than 3 years.
But a few days ago, suddenly the SQL Server stopped running.
I checked the server and tried to start SQL Server service from services, from SQL Server Configuration Manager etc. but I'm not able to start the server and got following error:
So I checked event viewer entries and I found these two errors:
I started some research work over web to overcome on this issue and I found that I can start SQL service using below command using T902:
net start MSSQL$REVCORD /T902
And SQL Server service started successfully.
But I want to make SQL Server / services back to normal as before so I can start / stop services normally.
I found on web that this cause is due to corruption in master SQL Server database, I don't have backup of master SQL Server database so I cannot restore it back.
I checked multiple threads over web and tried multiple things to overcome this issue but no luck.
So finally I decided to reinstall/recover SQL Server 2014, but I am getting another error while reinstalling:
Based on finding over web, all threads showing that I have to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server to make it normal again.
Please help! It's a live server with multiple calls continously so I cannot uninstall/reinstall SQL Server there due to possible data loss.
The first thing:
select * from sys.sysmessages where error = 5833
The message:
The affinity mask specified is greater than the number of CPUs supported or licensed on this edition of SQL Server.
Check your edition, and fix the affinity mask so that the number of CPUs satisfy the number which is supported by your edition.
You can fix it in SSMS on the Processors tab in your server properties, or using sp_configure

"Reporting Services Error" in Project Dashboard

Im using TFS 2012, SQL2012, and Sharepoint 2010. I went through the advanced installation of TFS and believe I missed some permission or something with an application pool. Everything related to TFS works well but any time I go to the project dashboard under Task Burndown I see this error:
Reporting Services Error
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Get Online Help
Query execution failed for dataset 'dsProjectGuid'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) Get Online Help
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
SQL Server Reporting Services
Then under Burn Rate I see this error:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Get Online Help
Query execution failed for dataset 'dsProjectGuid'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) Get Online Help
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
SQL Server Reporting Services
I came across this post which seems similar but then I try to actually
process the database I get an error.
Also, if I go to the TFS Administration Console >> Application Tier >> Reporting, I see the Warehouse database and Analysis database are "Configured and Jobs Enabled".
What am I missing? Thanks in advance.
First you don't mention:
The OS (Windows Server 2012 or 2008 or 2008 R2 and which SP???)
SharePoint Foundation or SharePoint Server 2010, is it SharePoint with SP1 or not??
The error you faced when you manually try to process the warehouse???
Anyway, the reporting errors could be happened because many reasons, so my advice to you, just take a look on my 2 Guides about installing TFS 2012 and 2010, see the reporting section, you will know exactly what you should do and how to verify every step before moving to the next one, they have videos and documents with every detail steps needed.
I recommended to have a look on the whole sections because sometimes the error will be in the service account used for configuring the Report Service which will exiting on the first section.

I referred the above link which worked for me.
I set initial catalog for data source TfsReportDS as "Tfs_Warehouse" and the initial catalog for data source TfsOlapReportDS as Tfs_Analysis. Other setting I left it to default which is 'windows Integerated security' for TfsReportDS and 'credentials are not required for Tfs2010OlapReportDS
