How to Schedule Reports and How to use File Share Suscription

I tried to schedule reports using File Share Subscription as specified in MSDN, But was not able to schedule the report.Can you give me detail of the nature of your issue?

How to schedule report to run

Hello.
On a monthly basis I need to run a report. The report takes three
parameters: A customer ID, a Month, and a Year.
I want to run this report for every customer in our database and save each
report as a PDF on disk. Then I will store a link to the report in the
customer's "file".
Can this be done? How?
Thanks in advance,
MikeLook up Data-Driven Subscriptions in the docs. That'll be your starting
point. The link part is easy. :)

How to schedule package Continuoulsly?

Hi,

I have requirement that i need to Schedule package continuously(every 10 Seconds).

Any solution on this?

H there,

I'm afraid that 2005 doesn't give you the possibility to launch processes on seconds-basis, so you could do a little vb application where inside a loop and using a Timer..:

Dim pkg As New Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Package

Dim EventsSSIS As Eventos

Dim app As New Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application

while true..

pkg = app.LoadFromSqlServer("msdb\yourpackage", Nothing, Nothing, Nothing)

sResultDts = pkg.Execute(Nothing, Nothing, EventsSSIS, Nothing, Nothing)

stuff..

Public Class Eventos

Implements IDTSEvents

OnPostValidate()

OnPreExecute()

..

stuff

|||Hi

I have two suggestions:
- you could reorganize your package to use an never-ending for loop, with a ~10 seconds sleep (I would try to do that first, if you have the possibility to modify the package)
- or use a scheduler (sql jobs, or third party software like nncron or cruisecontrol.net to trigger the package execution) - keep in mind that if you have to launch it every 10 seconds, it may end spending more time just starting and stopping compared to the time really used to carry out the transformations...

Is SSIS really what you want here?

SSIS is inherently a batch tool. If you want something more real-time then perhaps BizTalk is what you're after.

|||Although you should have an "end process trigger", I would suggest using a for task, place all your stuff in it and just say while @.endtrigger = 0.

I have had a similar issue with trying to run things every 1 min, 10 sec is a little fast I think. On my server it takes an SSIS job 1 min 34 secs just to START the job. This makes it very hard to say, look for a file over and over, until it finds it.

How to Schedule MSDE Backup

Hi guys,
I have an application that runs on MSDE. I need to back up the database on a
dialy basis. The backup file gets written to this folder (C:\backup) and
then I have found a backup software that will automatically write it to a
DVD+RW, overwriting the previous backup file.
To make the schedule easy I will use 31 DVD+RWs, one for each day of the
month. That way I will always have at least a month worth of backups.
I was hoping that somebody could help me with a small SQL script that will
backup my database from Monday thru Saturday, automatically. Also it'd be
great if the backup file would contain a name and the date of that day.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Hi,
MSDE will not come with GUI. So u have to use SQLMAINT.exe. See the below
URL for more info.

|||Hi Hari,
Thanks for your attempt to help me. Unfortunately for your suggestion to
work, I have to install SP3a and for some reason I cannot successfully apply
that. I constantly get the "The instance name specified is invalid" error,
even though I did not specify an instance name and there's only one
installaiton of MSDE on my machine.
What do you suggest?

you can have a look at a free prj of mine, at the link following my sign,
qhich implements a UI similar to Enterprise Manager where you can define a
SQL Server job to backup your db and of course define your schedules as
desired...

alternatively, you can prepare a cmd file like
<-->
OSQL -Usa -Pyour_pwd -Q"BACKUP DATABASE pubs TO DISK = 'C:\Pubs.bak' WITH
INIT" >c:\err.txt
<-->
and schedule it via standard OS AT or SCHTASKS, the native Win scheduler...

|||Andrea,
You're an angel, thanks a lot!
I downloaded your interface and installed it. I scheduled a backup and will
be testing this thoroughly.
A couple of questions re the interface if you don't mind:
1- I don't want to accumulate backups to the same file, since I will be
taking a fresh full backup on a separate DVD+RW everyday. How do I make sure
the backups do not keep appending to the same file day after day? Do I do
that just by leaving the ADD box unchecked, in the backup properties?
2- How can make it so that the backup file contains the day of the backup?
Thanks again,

leaving the "add to media" check box unchecked will add the "WITH INIT"
statement to the full backup statement, so that every backup set will be
initialized..

can you please expand on this? I'm sorry but I did not understand your
requirement..
and for DbaMgr2k related questions please feel free to contact me directly,
in order not to be OT on this public microsoft NG...

|||Hi Andrea,
[vbcol=seagreen]
What I mean by that is to have the backup file name include the date the
backup was performed. I'll give you an example:
For today, it would be called "SJDB 09072005.bak"
For tomorrow, "SJDB 09082005.bak"
For the day after tomorrow, "SJDB 09092005.bak"
And so on...
I hope that makes sense!
Andrea, once again thank you for your service to the community and sharing
your hard work with others.
|||Also Andrea,
Do you know how long it would take for a full backup to run for a full size
MSDE database (2048 MB)?
I ask because I wanted to know how much time to allocate before I schedule
the copy of the backup file to DVD.
Thanks again,

ok, you have to "edit" the backup statement of the generated job's step ...
assuming you are backing up pubs database to C:\ (replace C:\ with the
existing folder you want to backup to), you can provide the file name to
include the current date casting (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ca-co_2f3o.asp )
GETDATE() function result as required..
the final statement will look like:
DECLARE @.FileName nvarchar(25)
SET @.FileName = 'C:\' + 'pubs ' + CONVERT(varchar(10) , GETDATE() , 110 ) +
'.bak'
BACKUP DATABASE [pubs] TO DISK = @.FileName WITH INIT ,
NOUNLOAD ,
NAME = N'pubs BackUp',
NOSKIP ,
STATS = 10,
NOFORMAT
as regard your date format, I'd prefer the standard ISO format, thats to say
YYYYMMDD (CONVERT using 112 style), as this data format , 20050908 (for
today) is more readable and sorts better then 09082005..
you can go further, in the "advanced tab", and specify you want to "output"
the result of the execution (like standard messages and/or errors, if any)
to a text file.. if you want to, specify a file name (a text file) in the
"Transact-SQL script command options" ->output file
this will output, in case of success, something like
<-->
Job 'BackUp DB ['pubs'] - #08/09/2005 12.25.12#' : Step 1, 'BackUp DB
['pubs']' : Began Executing 2005-09-08 12:37:16
53 percent backed up. [SQLSTATE 01000]
99 percent backed up. [SQLSTATE 01000]
Processed 224 pages for database 'pubs', file 'pubs' on file 1. [SQLSTATE
01000]
100 percent backed up. [SQLSTATE 01000]
Processed 1 pages for database 'pubs', file 'pubs_log' on file 1. [SQLSTATE
01000]
BACKUP DATABASE successfully processed 225 pages in 0.242 seconds (7.586
MB/sec). [SQLSTATE 01000]
<-->
or the problem found, if any, you can inspect...

how to schedule job to run vbscript file

Hi All,
I wrote a vbscript file which copies one table records to another database table. I wrote error handling to send an email if error occurs when copying records from one table to another. I want to schedule a sql job and give this file to execute. Could anyone plz tell me how to schedule sql job which runs vbscript file. i selected ActiveXScript and choose vbscript and gave path. I'm not understanding what the command should be given to run vbscript file. The result of giving path is job is failing.
Any help would be appreciated...plzzzzzzz
thanks
carolThe way I've used the ActiveXScript option in the past is to physciallypaste the VBScript code into the Command textbox. AFAIK you can'ttype in a path.
