can't access SQL Server 2005 Cubes, when Integrity firewall runs

Hi,

i'm not able to access the content of the SQL Server Cubes, when i've running the Checkpoint Integrity firewall on the system. I've to shut down the firewall to see the content of the Cubes. Does any one have idea, what could cause this?

allow traffic to pass thru port 1433 for sql server clients|||

hi,

thx for your answer, traffic for is port 1433 is open. For testing i allowed also any traffic, but it didn't fix the issue, it only works when Integrty doesn't. I had a similar issue with the Ab Initio application, but this Software Company did fix the issue. I don't know how they exactly fixed it, but it was not a Firewall Policy related issue.

|||

kindly post the error text.

Hi,

there are no error messages, the SQL server 2005 Managemnet Studio application just 'hangs', when the Integrity firewall runs. We've the issue, only when we try to accecss the content of the Cubes container, independent if we use the SQL Server toools or f/e Microsoft Excel to access it.

Cannot start DTC in Enterprise Mgr

Hello, experts!

On Sunday, as part of routine maintenance, we had to shut down our clustered servers. When we tried to bring them back up, they would not recognize our array unless we disabled the cluster service. It was agreed that we should disable the cluster service (it's caused nothing but problems due to poor implementation and vendor software support), but now we're having difficulties with SQL Server. We're having several "small" problems (i.e. unable to remove our old instance of SQL Server), but the main issue is that our client cannot connect to our server. They are able to ping us and connect to our development database (not affected by the failure), but cannot connect to the production database. Currently, the most obvious difference between production and development is that development displays a green icon (running) for both Distributed Transaction Coordinator and Full-Text Search in Support Services (Enterprise Mgr), whereas production has a red (stopped) icon for both. Also, we previously identified that MSDTC was not running and that it was inaccessible in Component Services, so we uninstalled and reinstalled. We were then able to access MSDTC in Component Services. That said, when I attempt to start DTC or Full-Text Search in Support Services, I receive the following error message:

An error 1722 - (The RPC server is unavailable) occurred while performing this service operation on the MSDTC service.

I've troubleshot this error message and verified that both RPC and DTC are started in the Services menu, that both services are set to start automatically and that both are using "Network Service" login. At this point, I have no idea what could possibly be causing this problem or if this could even be related to our client's inability to connect to our SQL database. We're running SQL Server 2000 SP4 on Win Server 2003 Dell machines. Any assistance is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Can you discuss what steps you took to disable the cluster service? Also, was this MSCS, Veritas Cluster or other?

When an instance is installed as clustered, the configuration is set up to only run under the cluster. This may be causing some of the troubles.

|||

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for the response. We're using MSCS. We disabled the Cluster Disk Driver in Device Manager, then disabled the Cluster Service in Services.

How would we go about utilizing a previously clustered server in a non-clustered capacity? Would we have to rebuild the server with a clean install of Windows Server and SQL Server?

|||

Did you cluster MS DTC? If not, that is most likely your issue. On a clustered implementation, DTC needs to be clustered as well. It's done at the OS level.

Cannot shut down VS after using report designer

Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says:

Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again.

Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager.

I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS. Only SSRS.

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

I too ran into this today. After having a look at the bug in the product feedback centre, I noticed the bug is resolved as not reproduced.

Is it me, or does it seem unproductive to resolve a bug as not reproduced when there's 9 Can Validate and 13 voters with the average rating 4.69? Clearly this should continue to be investigated.

Maybe look at the code that checks for modal dialogs and see what dialogs could cause this message and work backward from there?

|||

BTW, my situation was dragging code from one source file to another. E.g. while in one file, clicking selected text and dragging it to a tab to activate another file and dropped on that file. That file was just added to the project (C#) as a New Item (class).

Of course, I can't reproduce it...

If it matters, I recently came out of Stand By... and I'm not using BIDS or SQL Server with this project.

|||

FYI...

I encountered this problem today for the first time. I was creating a new report in a project by selecting an existing report, right-clicking on it and selected COPY. I then did a CTRL-V to paste it into my project. The new report name was "Copy of...". I renamed the report and then I encountered the problem. I was able to close the IDE via the task manager.

I am unable to reproduce the problem.

|||I get this every time I design report (SQL Reporting services). I cannot shut down Visual Studio. It complains of a modal dialog being open but I can't find it.|||I have the same problem quite often. I am not sure why they are not able to reproduce it.|||

Are you running any plugins to Visual Studio?

What are you doing when it happens? Is there a particular report you're working on? Or does it happen after switching tabs, etc?

These kinds of things are pretty difficult to reproduce without detailed knowledge of what you're actually doing. If there's a bug here, it probably is in an obscure code path that just doesn't get all that much traction when we run through it on our computers. Usually, the exact order of operations makes is the clincher in getting a repro in house.

So, any detail you can provide will help us look at this.

Thanks!

For me, the only constant is that I am working in report designer. I can start from a wizard, or start from "new item" (Someone has mentioned that the wizard caused some flakey behavior)

Some days I can open an existing report, change a label and everything will be fine, i can open another report and change a label and then it wont close.

I dont know if it is tied to the other weird behavior in the designer:

Hover over the data field toolbox tab and it wont open, I have to hover over tools, and then slide down to data.|||

I know I have experienced slowness in VS when I have multiple projects running in the background. Especially if one of the other projects is connected to a server.

However I can't reproduce these either. I'll pass along your comments to the folks that work on Report Designer.

For me, the only constant is that I am working in report designer. I can start from a wizard, or start from "new item" (Someone has mentioned that the wizard caused some flakey behavior)

Some days I can open an existing report, change a label and everything will be fine, i can open another report and change a label and then it wont close.

I dont know if it is tied to the other weird behavior in the designer:

Hover over the data field toolbox tab and it wont open, I have to hover over tools, and then slide down to data.|||

I know I have experienced slowness in VS when I have multiple projects running in the background. Especially if one of the other projects is connected to a server.

However I can't reproduce these either. I'll pass along your comments to the folks that work on Report Designer.

Cannot shut down VS after using report designer

Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says:

Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again.

Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager.

I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS. Only SSRS.

Any Ideas?

Thanks!
BobP

any luck on this? This is pretty annoying.|||

Myself and a number of colleagues are having the same error come up.
We are only able to shutdown the visual studio by going to task manager. Still trying to find the cause, but if anyone else knows anything more?

Still using task manager here. Can't find anyone that has an answer... I'll keep looking... the truth must be out there.

Same bug here, but when a Infragistics control (Windocker) breaks at design time.

Grrrrr...

There is an open bug track on this at:

|||The problem normally occurs with me when I had used the query designer an has run an query.

When continuing the work at some time sql server ask the question whether to keep the result set or not.

When VS is not the active window this message is stuck behind the VS screen and you can not stop it.

It is quite anoying and my only solution at this time is to save frequently.

I too ran into this today. After having a look at the bug in the product feedback centre, I noticed the bug is resolved as not reproduced.

Is it me, or does it seem unproductive to resolve a bug as not reproduced when there's 9 Can Validate and 13 voters with the average rating 4.69? Clearly this should continue to be investigated.

Maybe look at the code that checks for modal dialogs and see what dialogs could cause this message and work backward from there?

|||

BTW, my situation was dragging code from one source file to another. E.g. while in one file, clicking selected text and dragging it to a tab to activate another file and dropped on that file. That file was just added to the project (C#) as a New Item (class).

Of course, I can't reproduce it...

If it matters, I recently came out of Stand By... and I'm not using BIDS or SQL Server with this project.

|||

FYI...

I encountered this problem today for the first time. I was creating a new report in a project by selecting an existing report, right-clicking on it and selected COPY. I then did a CTRL-V to paste it into my project. The new report name was "Copy of...". I renamed the report and then I encountered the problem. I was able to close the IDE via the task manager.

I am unable to reproduce the problem.

|||I get this every time I design report (SQL Reporting services). I cannot shut down Visual Studio. It complains of a modal dialog being open but I can't find it.|||I have the same problem quite often. I am not sure why they are not able to reproduce it.|||

Are you running any plugins to Visual Studio?

What are you doing when it happens? Is there a particular report you're working on? Or does it happen after switching tabs, etc?

These kinds of things are pretty difficult to reproduce without detailed knowledge of what you're actually doing. If there's a bug here, it probably is in an obscure code path that just doesn't get all that much traction when we run through it on our computers. Usually, the exact order of operations makes is the clincher in getting a repro in house.

So, any detail you can provide will help us look at this.

Thanks!
