I have a problem when querying Active Directory or MySQL database as Linked servers.
The problem occurs when running the query through SSMS on a server other than the database server where AD is mounted.
If I run these queries on the actual Db server through SSMS I get results from the linked server.
If I run these queries on a 'Management' machine on a separate VLAN they return error 7390
The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "ADsDSOObject" for linked server "ACTIVEDIR" does not support the required transaction interface.
This only affects the Linked servers, I can query any table on the Db server from the management machine, so it's not ports and networking (that I can see).
I have tried changing the settings for RPC, RPC Out and Promotion of Distributed Transactions in the properties sheet of the linked servers, with various combinations but I still get no results, just the error
For good measure I have also tried to set the TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL to READ UNCOMMITTED .. in the SQL blocks executed
It used to work before I migrated from SQLserver 2008R2 to 2016....
I would appreciate any guidance and wisdom ..

I am using wildfly-8.2.0.Final.
There are several databases that i have to connect to. However, some of them are only used for certain functionalities on the web application and they are not needed to be online all the time. So when the wildfly starts, some of the datasources may not be online. However, disconnection to any datasource causes wildfly to not deploy .war deployment and i cannot find any way to solve this problem. Is there a way?
UPDATE:
I have a single table on a remote database server. The user will be able to query the table via my web application. The thing is, I have almost no control over the mentioned database. When the web application starts, it could be offline. However, this would cause my web application to fail to start. What I want is being able to run queries on a remote database if it is online. If it is offline, the web page could fail or the query can be canceled. But the only thing that I don’t want is that my web application to be limited by a remote database that I may have no control over.
My previous solution was a workaround. I would run queries on the remote database via a local database which has a foreign table to the remote one. However, the local one reads all data on the remote table before applying any constraints on postgresql 9.5. As the remote table has a large number of rows and I am using lazy loading, it takes so long for a single query and defeats the whole purpose of the lazy loading.
I found a similar question, but there is no answer.
On wildfly, you can set the datasource so that it tries to reconnect periodically when it disconnects. In my case, the deployment should be successful initially for this to be helpful.
The deployment will failed if it references those datasources.
Also you could define but disable those datasources.
We are having an issue with SQL Server 2008 R2 64 responding to stored procedure call. About every 2 weeks or so, the database stops responding to stored procedures called from an ADO connection/Command set (4.0 framework). We have been working on this for several months now, with little improvement.
System changes:
We upgraded an existing vendor product from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008 R2 via their upgrade method. The database instance moved from a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server to 64-bit Windows 2008 Server.
The pattern of failure:
The application is run throughout the day, executed by different users via Citrix without issue. Every few weeks, the application stops responding around the same time frame. Once the database stops responding to the hosted instance of the application, any execution of the procedure from the application hangs (installed on CITRIX server, installed on varied physical systems, or debugging in VStudio 2010). After an hour of checking logs, server status, SQL Monitoring tools, tracing the repeated execution attempts, the server decides to respond to the application without intervention.
Strange thing is, when the server is not responding to ADO.Net calls, we execute the stored procedure from SQL Server Management Studio and receive results in 1 to 2 seconds. We are using the same login to access SQL Server Management Studio, and executing the stored procedure with the same parameters.
Looking at the connection string passed to the ADO connection, I don’t see anything unusual:
connectionString="Data Source=myserver\myinstance;Initial Catalog=databaseName;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxxxx;Password=yyyyy;Connect Timeout=45"
Tried so far:
Added extra 2gb of RAM to the OS: no change
Added extra tempdb file, expanded size of tempdb log file from 1 to 5gb: reduced the issue from weekly to every 2nd or 3rd week.
Installed SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3: no change.
The black cloud:
To me, the repeating time pattern of failure implies an issue at the database host (server or resource), but the DBAs do not see load or resource issue. If it were purely a host issue, why does it respond to SQL Server Management calls, and not ADO.NET calls?
The last occurrence lasted over two hours, and was resolved after rebooting the database server. Not a great fallback, but desperate times and all…..
Updating the ADO.NET connection to use named pipes has resolved the issue for our application. Prefixing the database name with "np:" has the connection using named pipes.
connectionString="Data Source=np:myserver\myinstance;Initial Catalog=databaseName;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxxxx;Password=yyyyy;Connect Timeout=45"
The issue returned on 5/14. This query timeout posting gave us hints how to force SQL Management Studio to behave like the ADO.NET connection and allowed us to recognize this is a "parameter sniffing" issue. We have applied changes to disable the parameter sniffing within the stored procedure.
I've written a web app in ASP.NET that stores all of it's data in SQL Server 2008r2 and runs everything via stored procedures. The app is collecting data for a department who wants 2-3 pieces of that data pushed to an old app they use which has a Microsoft Access 2003 backend (.MDB file). My thought was to create a linked server to Access so my app can push everything to SQL server and it can handle it from there (seemed simple enough). Based on info from MSDN (here and here), I was using the following SQL command to create the linked server:
EXEC sys.sp_addlinkedserver #server = N'CMPtesting' ,
#datasrc = N'\\srv.local\SHAREDOCS\MPS\CMPdata.mdb' ,
#srvproduct = N'Access' ,
#provider = N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'
This completes successfully, and I can see my CMPtesting server listed under Server Objects -> Linked Servers. However, if I try to verify the server using this:
SELECT name FROM [CMPtesting].master.sys.databases
or even just view the tables, I get an error:
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' cannot be used for distributed queries because the provider is configured to run in
single-threaded apartment mode. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7308)
Researching that error led me to "SQL to Access linked server" which suggested installing some different Access drivers and then using #provider = N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' instead of the Jet driver. Again, this completes successfully, but attempting to view the tables produces a different error:
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "CMPtesting". (Microsoft
SQL Server, Error: 7302)
I know this is not simply an invalid driver error, because if I just make up a provider name I get this instead:
The OLE DB provider "foobar" has not been registered. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7403)
I'm not sure what else to try because all my searches just turn up more rehashing of how to run sp_addlinkedserver without any additional details or help with these errors.
It seems I am running into the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) related issue.
SCENARIO
I am using TransactionScope and with in the single scope it hits two different databases on different servers (for instance, DB_A running Windows Server 2003 and DB_B running Windows Server 2008). One database is accessed using Entity Framework 4.0 and another using normal ADO.NET APIs.
When I run the application from my development machine (running WinXP) it commits and rollbacks both the connections accurately. But when I run the application, deployed on another server (for instance WAS_A running Windows Server 2003) it commits correctly but in case of exception is doesn't roll back the database activities on both the servers.
I thought it would be the MSDTC configuration issue on the WAS_A. So I went to the MSDTC -> Security Configuration and checked all the available options (as I did previously on other machines). But still I am facing the same issue.
Looking for your expert advices. :)
I believe that you need to look into Enabling Transaction Flow. Specifically, take a look at how one may error and the other complete as described in TransactionScope and WCF Services:
an error in a second WCF service call was NOT rolling back the changes made in a previous WCF service call...
In order to create an ambient transaction in your client and ensure that it is used by your WCF services...
The article then details the following steps:
Configure Your Binding with transactionFlow
Decorate Your Interface with [TransactionFlow(TransactionFlowOption)]
Decorate Your Method with [OperationBehavior(TransactionScopeRequired)]
Optionally update your Connection Strings with Transaction Binding*
*Note: This is optional in my opinion.
We deployed a VB.Net application on a customer's computer that contains SSRS reports.
The application connects to the SQL Server database in the app without any problems. We installed SQL Server Data Tools so we could deploy the reports (rdl) and data source (rdl) files up to the report server. These deploy without any problems.
In SQL Server Data Tools we can "Preview" the reports without any problems as well.
We do run into a problem when attempting to view the report from Internet Explorer (run as an administrator).
We get the following error:
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSourceReports'
(this is the name we used for the TargetDataSourceFolder)
error:40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
We also get the same error when the app we deployed runs the reports.
Please let us know what is not set up correctly on the SQL Server side.
A likely possibility is that you are experiencing a double hop authentication problem. It's not clear from your explanation, but is the SQL Server database on a separate server from the report server? If so, then your credentials allow you to connect to the report server but Windows integrated security does not pass those credentials on to the SQL Server database if you are using NTLM on the report server. The report server tries to use Kerberos on your network to authenticate by way of ticketing to the SQL Server database, but you must have this configured correctly on your network. See this article if you want to use Kerberos: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff679930(v=sql.100).aspx.
Another (easier) solution is to open the data source on the report server and change the authentication to use stored credentials. Make sure the credentials you use have read permission on the SQL Server database. The downside of this approach is that you cannot use row-level security in your report by user unless you design your report to capture user information and set up the query or a filter on the dataset to restrict data by user. If that's not a concern, the stored credentials are easy to set up and maintain - and you're going to have to do this anyway if you want to use caching, snapshots, or subscriptions.
