I am working with iOS native application in iOS using objective C and SUP as middleware .I am using the same provisioning profile for two fifferent application to run in iPAD.
My application was working well before . But now when I try to run it is showing an error like,
The remote database identified by remote ID '%1' is already synchronizing or the database connection is unusable: unable to access the lock for that remote ID
Error code -10343
What can I do to solve this?
when I searched in google I got some informations like
'The MobiLink server could not access the lock for the remote ID in the consolidated database or the MobiLink system database. The remote ID may have been locked by another synchronization, or the database connection may be unusable. Please check the database connection and try the synchronization later.
Please help me ...Thanks for any help in advance...
'
I think this is because the database is locked by some applications.

I know that using Firebird 2.5+ I can check if there are users accessing my database using SQL, but unfortunately, Firebird 2.0 doesn't have this feature. Yes, I know it's an old version, but it's a legacy software and I'm not allowed to upgrade this in a short time... :(
I need to know if someone is connected to my 2.0 Firebird database, due to a process I'll run:
Block connections to DB (but ONLY if no one is connected)
Run my process
Allow users to reconnect again
I can start my process only when there are no users connected.
My database is part of a client/server system (no Web).
Any hints?
-at[tach] : this parameter prevents any new connections to the database from being made with the exception of the SYSDBA and the database owner. The shutdown will fail if there are any sessions connected after the timeout period has expired. It makes no difference if those connected sessions belong to the SYSDBA, the database owner or any other user. Any connections remaining will terminate the shutdown with the following details:
https://firebirdsql.org/manual/gfix-dbstartstop.html
There is also Services API to do it so your database access library should expose the shutdown function. Specify a short shutdown, and if it failed - then there were some users. If it succeeded - now you can go on with maintenance, having a warranty client applications will not be able to connect.
Alternatively you can upgrade Firebird 2.0 -> 2.1 which is more close to 2.0 than 2.5 but already have Monitoring Tables implemented.
However this your approach has one weak point - race conditions. Using M.T. you envision your work as following:
Keep querying M.T. (which slows down server work significantly) until there are no other connections.
start maintenance work, that would fail if other connections are active
complete maintenance work
Problem is, that even after at step 1 you gained "no other connection" state, it does not mean that between steps 1 and 2, and especially between steps 2 and 3 now new connections would be made.
Even if you made your checks and ensure #1 condition, when you would go on with maintenance there would be some new user connected back and working now. Not every time of course, but as time goes by it will eventually happen one day.
But there is yet one more good thing in FB 2.1 - database-level triggers.
c:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_1\doc\sql.extensions\README.db_triggers.txt
You can create a regular "all_current_connections" table, using on connect and on disconnect triggers to keep it up to date.
You perhaps would also have to add some logic to your applications, so they would update that table with your internal application ID, to tell main workflow apps/connections from servicing utilities. However it is also possible that mere CURRENT_USER and CURRENT_CONNECTION pair, which the trigger knows and can store to the table, would be enough for that table, if you can infer kind of application from mere user name.
Then on disconnect trigger might be checking whether all "main workflow" apps disconnected and POST_EVENT to notify servicing utilities. However those utilities would still have to shutdown the database first, anyway.
You can shut down the database using gfix. The gfix tool will try to shutdown the database and if connections still exist after a timeout, the shutdown will fail.
For example, use:
gfix -shut -attach 5 <your-database>
This will:
prevent new connection being created,
wait 5 seconds for the existing connections to end,
if after 5 seconds there are still active connections the shutdown will abort,
otherwise, after 5 seconds the database will be shut down.
After shutdown, only SYSDBA or the database owner can create a connection to the database. This is only a viable option if your application it self doesn't use SYSDBA or the database owner account.
You bring the database back online using:
gfix -online <your-database>
For more information, see also Gfix - Database Housekeeping: Database Startup and Shutdown
Well, not an elegant way, but works...
I try to rename the database file.
If there is someone accessing the database, the rename operation will give me
an exception, saying that the file is in use by some process.
If rename succeeds, new users will not be able to access the database
anymore (the connection string used by my systems is not changed).
I run the exclusive process I have to.
Rename the database file to its original name, allowing new users to
connect again.
I post my solution in the hope that helps someone facing a similar problem.
Our new version of the product will probably a Web application and the database was not choosen yet, but certainly will no be Firebird.
Thanks to all that tried to give me an answer.
I use mongodb to store all data of my mac application.So I use Mongokitten library as the interface between the db and my app. Inorder to connect to db initially and maintain the connection throughout the time when application is running I need to establish a one time connection to db. But I'm not able to initialise the server globally in the swift file.What i do is connect to the server each time a operation(insertion, updation, deletion, read) is performed.This causes the connection to the server to be lost once when these operations are executed over a limit and causes my application to hang. Can anyone please help me find a solution to make the server connection only once for throughout running of application?
I found the answer.Implicitly unwrap the server variable and assign value to server on checking server connection.
For reference follow the link :https://swiftmodules.com/planteam/mongokitten
I am learning how to use the Service Broker of SQL Server 2008 R2. When following the tutorial Completing a Conversation in a Single Database. Following the Lesson 1, I have successfully created the message types, contract, the queues and services. Following the Lesson 2, I have probably sent the message. However, when trying to receive the message, I get the NULL for the ReceivedRequestMsg instead of the sent content.
When looking at the sys.transmission_queue, the transmission_status for the message says:
An exception occurred while enqueueing a message in the target queue. Error: 15517, State: 1. Cannot execute as the database principal because the principal "dbo" does not exist, this type of principal cannot be impersonated, or you do not have permission.
I have installed SQL Server using the Windows login like Mycomp\Petr. I am using that login also for the lessons.
Can you guess what is the problem? What should I check and or set to make it working?
Edited 2012/07/16: For helping to reproduce the problem, here is what I did. Can you reproduce the error if you follow the next steps?
Firstly, I am using Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, Developer Edition, 64-bit (ver. 10.50.2500.0, Root Directory located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQL_PRIKRYL05\MSSQL).
Following the tutorial advice, I have downloaded the AdventureWorks2008R2_Data.mdf sample database, and copied it into C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQL_PRIKRYL05\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2008R2_Data.mdf
The SQL Server Management Studio had to be launched "As Administrator" to be able to attach the data later. Then I connected the SQL Server.
Right click on Databases, context menu Attach..., button Add..., pointed to AdventureWorks2008R2_Data.mdf + OK. Then selected the AdventureWorks2008R2_Log.ldf from the grid below (reported as Not found) and pressed the Remove... button. After pressing OK, the database was attached and the AdventureWorks2008R2_log.LDF was created automatically.
The following queries were used for looking at "Service Broker enabled/disabled", and for enabling (the Service Broker was enabled successfully for the database):
USE master;
GO
SELECT name, is_broker_enabled FROM sys.databases;
GO
ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2008R2
SET ENABLE_BROKER
WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;
GO
SELECT name, is_broker_enabled FROM sys.databases;
GO
Then, following the tutorial, the queries below were executed to create the message types, the contract, the queues, and the services:
USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
GO
CREATE MESSAGE TYPE
[//AWDB/1DBSample/RequestMessage]
VALIDATION = WELL_FORMED_XML;
CREATE MESSAGE TYPE
[//AWDB/1DBSample/ReplyMessage]
VALIDATION = WELL_FORMED_XML;
GO
CREATE CONTRACT [//AWDB/1DBSample/SampleContract]
([//AWDB/1DBSample/RequestMessage]
SENT BY INITIATOR,
[//AWDB/1DBSample/ReplyMessage]
SENT BY TARGET
);
GO
CREATE QUEUE TargetQueue1DB;
CREATE SERVICE
[//AWDB/1DBSample/TargetService]
ON QUEUE TargetQueue1DB
([//AWDB/1DBSample/SampleContract]);
GO
CREATE QUEUE InitiatorQueue1DB;
CREATE SERVICE
[//AWDB/1DBSample/InitiatorService]
ON QUEUE InitiatorQueue1DB;
GO
So far, so good.
Then the following queries are used to look at the queues (now empty when used):
USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
GO
SELECT * FROM InitiatorQueue1DB WITH (NOLOCK);
SELECT * FROM TargetQueue1DB WITH (NOLOCK);
SELECT * FROM sys.transmission_queue;
GO
The problem manifests when the message is sent:
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
BEGIN DIALOG #InitDlgHandle
FROM SERVICE
[//AWDB/1DBSample/InitiatorService]
TO SERVICE
N'//AWDB/1DBSample/TargetService'
ON CONTRACT
[//AWDB/1DBSample/SampleContract]
WITH
ENCRYPTION = OFF;
SELECT #RequestMsg =
N'<RequestMsg>Message for Target service.</RequestMsg>';
SEND ON CONVERSATION #InitDlgHandle
MESSAGE TYPE
[//AWDB/1DBSample/RequestMessage]
(#RequestMsg);
SELECT #RequestMsg AS SentRequestMsg;
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
GO
When looking at the queues, the Initiator... and the Target... queues are empty, and the sent message can be found in sys.transmission_queue with the above mentioned error reported via the transmission_status.
alter authorization on database::[<your_SSB_DB>] to [sa];
The EXECUTE AS infrastructure requires dbo to map to a valid login. Service Broker uses the EXECUTE AS infrastructure to deliver the messages. A typical scenario that runs into this problem is a corporate laptop when working from home. You log in to the laptop using cached credentials, and you log in into the SQL using the same Windows cached credentials. You issue a CREATE DATABASE and the dbo gets mapped to your corporate domain account. However, the EXECUTE AS infrastructre cannot use the Windows cached accounts, it requires direct connectivity to the Active Directory. The maddening part is that things work fine the next day at office (your laptop is again in the corp network and can access to AD...). You go home in the evening, continue with Lesson 3... and all of the sudden it doesn't work anymore. Make the whole thing seem flimsy and unreliable. Is just the fact that AD conectivity is needed...
Another scenatio that leads to the same problem is caused by the fact that databases reteint the SID of their creator (the Windows login that issues the CREATE DATABASE) when restored or attached. If you used a local account PC1\Fred when you create the DB and then copy/attach the database to PC2, the account is invalid on PC2 (it is scoped to PC1, of course). Again, not much is affected but EXECUTE AS is, and this causes Service Broker to give the error you see.
And last example is when the DB is created by a user that later leaves the company and the AD account gets deleted. Seems like revenge from his part, but he's innocent. The production DB just stops working, simply because it's his SID that the dbo maps too. Fun...
By simply changing the dbo to sa login you fix this whole EXECUTE AS thing and all the moving parts that depend on it (and SSB is probably the biggest dependency) start working.
You would need to grant receive on your target queue to your login. And it should work!
USE [YourDatabase]
GRANT RECEIVE ON [dbo].[YourTargetQueue]
TO [Mycomp\Petr];
GO
And you also need to grant send for your user, permission on Target Service should be sufficient, but let's enable on both services for the future.
USE AdventureWorks2008R2 ;
GO
GRANT SEND ON SERVICE::[//AWDB/1DBSample/InitiatorService]
TO [Mycomp\Petr] ;
GO
GRANT SEND ON SERVICE::[//AWDB/1DBSample/TargetService]
TO [Mycomp\Petr] ;
GO
i have made an application having entity framewrok. It is wpf application, now it runs fine on my computer, but when i run this application on another system it crashes, i debugged it on other system, exception came when i try to access data of entities, what could be problem,
The underlying provider failed on Open either means that your connection string is incorrect or the application doesn't have access permission to the database (either SQL account specified in connection string or current user running the application).
When I try to run an MVC 2 app on my local IIS 7, I keep getting this error:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in
retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure
the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will
be closed.
However, I don't have anything connected to SQL Server Express, and all my connection strings work fine when I'm running on my localhost.
What is the cause of such an error? How can I prevent it?
ASP.NET applications, including MVC 2 ones, by default create a SQL Server database to store users and roles. The database is called ASPNETDB and is stored in App_Data folder - if it is not there yet, ASP.NET will try to create it when the application starts.
To create/open this database, User instance of SQL Server Express is used. To start a User Instance the user profile must be loaded for the current user (in this case whatever account the ASP.NET application pool runs as). But the default configuration for IIS application pools is not to load the user profile to limit start time time and save memory.
To enable loading user profile for an application pool go to its configuration in IIS Manager and look for Load User Profile switch in Advanced Options. Set it to true and it should work.
If you would rather avoid using User Instances and loading the user profile, you can use a different database for your application's users and roles. Just go to IIS Manager again, find your Web Site, and look for Connection Strings section in ASP.NET configuration. I bet you will see a connection string called LocalSqlServer there. Just update it to point to the database you want to use. You can see this thread to learn how to create a new ASPNETDB database. If you create it on the main SQL Server instance you will not need the profile to connect to - just create a login in SQL Server and make sure your connection string is using it.
