I am for the first time trying to setup transactional replication. This is from an sql 2000 server sp3a to an sql 2005 server which I believe should work.
I did a quick test on my local machine (sql 2005) using it as both the publisher and subscriber and had no trouble setting it up. I repeated a similar process for the real servers using enterprise manager for the 2000 publisher parts and management studio to setup the PULL subscriber. This all seemed to work and the publisher logs seem to be indicating it was preparing the initial data however I am not getting anything coming over as of yet. I checked the logs and am getting an os error 3. I have included the two log sections I think are important below.
2009-07-21 21:37:42.043 The process could not read file 'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\ReplData\unc\DOMINO_qlsdat_DOMINO qlsdat to PONGOSQL\20090721164816\enbhostname_1.sch' due to OS error 3.
Message
The replication agent encountered an error and is set to restart within the job step retry interval.
See the previous job step history message or Replication Monitor for more information.
Looks to me like I need to give share permission to the replication data, should I have setup the replication data to go to a share using unc path.
OS Error 3 is no a permission problem, is a path correctness problem: Error code: (Win32) 0x3 (3) - The system cannot find the path specified.. A permission problem would be error 5: Error code: (Win32) 0x5 (5) - Access is denied..
The path D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\ReplData\unc\DOMINO_qlsdat_DOMINO qlsdat to PONGOSQL\20090721164816\enbhostname_1.sch is incorrect on the server that executes it. Usually one has to use UNC paths in replication, I can't know for sure if that is the problem, but it likely is.

All of a sudden one day (on my DEV PC) my Microsoft SQL Server 2012 instance (installed as instance name "SQL2012") would not start (all my other installed instances did). Trying to start it manually under Services failed. I don't recall making any recent changes prior to this. The cause of the failure was a mystery.
On inspecting Event Viewer, under System it showed a rather amusing error message [emphasis mine]:
The SQL Server (SQL2012) service terminated with the following service-specific error:
WARNING: You have until SQL Server (SQL2012) to logoff. If you have not logged off at this time, your session will be disconnected, and any open files or devices you have open may lose data.
checking under Application Event Log, I found these 2 error messages (preceded by a number of MSSQL$SQL2012 informational messages):
Script level upgrade for database 'master' failed because upgrade step 'msdb110_upgrade.sql' encountered error 200, state 7, severity 25. This is a serious error condition which might interfere with regular operation and the database will be taken offline. If the error happened during upgrade of the 'master' database, it will prevent the entire SQL Server instance from starting. Examine the previous errorlog entries for errors, take the appropriate corrective actions and re-start the database so that the script upgrade steps run to completion.
followed by:
Cannot recover the master database. SQL Server is unable to run. Restore master from a full backup, repair it, or rebuild it. For more information about how to rebuild the master database, see SQL Server Books Online.
Fearing having lost my system databases (and not having a backup of them to restore - who makes backups of their system dbs anyway??) and needing to access the instance, and attached databases - I was willing to try anything. Even the possible restore of the system databases: Restoring the SQL Server Master Database Even Without a Backup - but that looked quite complex.
Fortunately, I was eventually able to start the instance (thank you to this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59676743/4993856 which I trusted, because Pinal Dave also mentions that particular switch in: SQL SERVER – Script level upgrade for database ‘master’ failed because upgrade step msdb110_upgrade.sql encountered error 926, state 1, severity 25) if I ran:
net start mssqlserver$SQL2012 /T902
This pointed to some issue with the upgrade script... (Remember SQL is installed with instance name: SQL2012, hence the mssqlserver$SQL2012 used above for the named instance).
After some more searching I discovered this post: Installing service pack / cumulative update on SQL Server 2016 / 2017 breaks database engine (not exactly the same SQL version as mine) which pointed to the following possible Region Settings setting (Control Panel [when viewed by 'icons'] > All Control Panel Items > Region > Administrative > "Change system locale..."):
"Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" in Region Settings
THAT WAS IT!!! After de-selecting that option (and possibly restarting my computer), the MSSQL Server 2012 Instance started up without any issue, and I was able to access all my previously attached databases.
I assume the pending upgrade scripts ran successfully. Thinking back about it now, it is possible that I agreed to installing a SQL Update, and never bothered to test access to the instance afterwards.
I also don't recall exactly why I chose to enable that specific setting under Region Settings, possibly due to some Linux compatibility, but it looks like it has become defaulted 'on' in recent Windows builds.
I got the same problem SQL2017 after update Windows Patch Hotfix3391(KB5001228)
after restart server MSSQL Fail to start and event viewer shown error below
Script level upgrade for database 'master' failed because upgrade step 'msdb110_upgrade.sql' encountered error 200, state 7, severity 25. This is a serious error condition which might interfere with regular operation and the database will be taken offline. If the error happened during upgrade of the 'master' database, it will prevent the entire SQL Server instance from starting. Examine the previous errorlog entries for errors, take the appropriate corrective actions and re-start the database so that the script upgrade steps run to completion.
Solution
Fix by remove Beta:Use Unicode UTF-8 for Worldwide lang.. in the Region Settings
Then it require restart server. After restart MSSQL can start as normal.
The problem is the msdb_110.sql update script, the script is a bit of a mess, with mixed tabs and spaces (wtf?).
It tries to run a couple of procedures that fail, on startup of sql-server. They fail when the code-page is 65001 (usually because the BETA utf-8 code page option has been selected) and so SQL server fails to start.
This appears to happen any time a SQL Server update is installed. I only experience this error with SQL Server 2017, not 2019
Why?
Don't know? The script is a mess.
Solution
Deselect the use utd-8 code page option
Restart the machine
Start sql server and let it run the script
(optional) reselect the use utd-8 code page option
Restart machine again and sql server
(optinal but recommended) uninstall windows, install a unix and run postgres
My backup job in Maintenance Plans has an error (Please check error encountered below) which already 3 days straight.
Job configured as follows:
(Step 1): Backup the DBs to a shared folder of Server A
(Step 2): If Step 1 Success, It will copy the backups from Server A to the shared folder of Server B.
As per error from event viewer the error stopped at Step 1. I still don't know where the error came from but as per checking the backup created in Server A are all complete which is weird.
Here are my isolation:
The shared folder of Server A and Server B are accessible (tried also the account of SQL services job as a user in windows)
Here is the error found in event viewer:
1. BackupIoRequest::ReportIoError: read failure on backup device '\\\Server_A\Shared Folder\Database.bak'. Operating system error 64(The specified network name is no longer available.)."
2. "Package "Backup Databases Directly to Server_A Shared Folder" failed."
3. "SQL Server Scheduled Job 'Backup Databases Directly to Server_A Shared Folder.Subplan_1' (0xD20650B4C8A10F41A130C734D053DB63) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2019-08-24 00:00:00 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 89 (Backup Databases Directly to Server_A Shared Folder.Subplan_1). The last step to run was step 1 (Subplan_1).
As per error from event viewer the error stopped at Step 1. I still don't know where the error came from
Usually, when you checking it form SQL Agent history, expand the job and select step 1 so that we can see what causing the that error, information must be printed in message section (bottom):
"BackupIoRequest::ReportIoError: read failure on backup device '\Server_A\Shared Folder\Database.bak'. Operating system error 64(The specified network name is no longer available.)
In this case, there must be something wrong with path (wrong spelled), or the SQL Server service account (not only SQL Agent service account) doesn't have permissions on the shared folder.
When you say SERVER-A and SERVER-B can access shared folder, you might have verified logging in at the server with particular user, so that logged-in user got the permissions on the shared folder, as long as same user is service account user of SQL Server then we can assume, SQL Server really have access to shared folder.
Hope, fixing permission issues would resolve the error caused.
However, do you have any issues to directly create a backup on SERVER-B shared folder as i feel like we are doing unnecessary additional step.
P.s: I personally, recommend to use custom script for maintenance tasks, especially for backups. My answer at DBA.SE might helpful in your case for better backup strategy
I'm hoping to configure and use SQL Server 2014's Managed Backup to Azure feature. I've tested a manual backup to URL T-SQL query, and it worked. But, the backups created by the managed backup to Azure feature are failing to finish.
The managed backup process leaves a bunch of 0 byte backup files on Azure storage, and they're all locked (active leases) because of the failed backup process. I'm trying to figure out what the issue is. My SQL Server 2014 edition is the Web edition, which apparently does not support compression. The SQL Server Management Studio dialog for configuring the managed backup to Azure feature does not provide any options for compression, though. So, perhaps it's trying to compress the backup file and failing? I don't know how to see what's actually being tried by SQL Server while it does its automated backup to Azure, though. Anybody have any ideas there?
I'm seeing the following errors in the event log ...

Operating system error Backup to URL received an exception from the remote endpoint. Exception Message: The remote server returned an error: (409) Conflict..
I can't read the full 409 error message, so I've got no idea what the actual 409 error is. According to MSDN, there are multiple possible 409 responses.
I have been struggling with this issue for several days. I tried a manual scheduled task that runs my T-SQL query, which works, but I can't have it automatically clean itself up after X days, using that method. Any ideas? Thanks!
This is indeed related to COMPRESSION being set on the backup command that gets called by the Managed Backup process.
Enabling debug messages pointed me to the stored procedure getting called: [msdb].[smart_admin].[sp_do_backup]. If you look inside this stored procedure you will see "COMPRESSION" hard coded into the various backup commands that it issues.
A find and replace for "COMPRESSION" to "NO_COMPRESSION" should fix your issue.
Note this only need apply to SQL 2014 Web Edition, as other versions support compression, and this shouldn't even come up.

Sounds like your master mdf file (master database) is corrupted.
Options include:
1. Restoring from backup
2. Detach existing databases (if possible), remove, and reinstall.
You might want to look a little deeper to see why this happened. It might be a failing drive on that machine. In which case, your number one priority is going to be to fix the hardware.
Try DBCC with proper parameters (CHECKFILEGROUP). If that does not help.... try identifying whether the error is in an index (then you can recreate that).
Otherwise.... get the backups. You HAVE backups, or?? ;) (good test for those - could have been a real database, not just the mater)
As this is master...
...detach all databases, get a new master generated (if anything ails reinstall server), reattach databases.
I know this is an old question, this blog post helped me tremendously. Help this will benefit others who run into the same issue down the road.
You should read the article for detailed step-by-step process. But this is the key command.

Is there any who can help me?
I thank you!

Edit
By gbn from other closed question:
Hi mrdanny,
I tried the way you suggested me. The problem is unresolved.
Error is reported : Message One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from a backup.
Is there an alternative solution that i should try? I am going to redesign the database.Please save my time!
Have you a good backup?
Given it says page (0:0), then I refer you to point 1
Use emergency mode and hope for the best. Paul Randall wrote DBCC CHECKDB...
The torn page is in the log file, so rename the log file and use the sp_attch_single_file_db procedure to attach the mdf and generate a new transaction log file.
