Migrating DTS packages and SQL Jobs

Hello All,
We are in the process of migrating our SQLServer2000 production server to a
better hardware and Windows 2003. We have lot of DTS packages and SQL Jobs
that needs to be migrated as well. I can script the Jobs and run the script
on the new server and similarly I can save the DTS package on the new server.
Instead, Can I backup the msdb database and restore it on the new server. I
was wondering which method would be the best.
Thanks,
rgnRestoring MSDB is certainly an option but if you have anything that
references the original server name directly you may have to fix that.

Migrated NT users to AD - Permissions (Cross Posted)

(This message is cross posted to SQL and AD groups).
I'm in the process of migrating NT users to Active Directory. For file share
access this is fine because I migrate with SID history so everything just
works.
However I've done some test migrations for users with SQL permissions and
they can't access any databases. (As the permissions says their old name).
Short of me having to go through every single server for ever user is there
a way to update or a way for this to work?
Thanks
Rob.
Thanks.
Do you know what scripting i would be looking at or what third party tools?
I've spent a good while searching on this topic and am unable to find
anything so would appreciated any advice.
Thanks.
Rob.

Migrate to new SQL Server

Hi
I'm currently setting up a new SQL Server 2000, and I'm in the process of
planning our migration. What is the best way to migrate databases and
logins?
Should I use the "Copy database wizard" for migration, or should I start by
enabling all logins manually on the new server, manually copy all dts
packages, and finally use "Copy Database Wizard" to only copy over the
database?
I have a small enviroment with only 8 small databases, and aprox 20 users
who typically all have access to the databases.
/A.Avoid the copy database wizard. To move the databases use
Backup/Restore, or Detach/Attach.
To move logins, see http://support.microsoft.com/?id=246133 "How to
transfer logins and passwords between instances of SQL Server".
When I have moved DTS packages I simply opened them on the source
server, then did a Save As and specified the other server.

Are there any reason doing a dedicated move of the logins if I use Windows
Login on both the new and the old server? All logins are stored in A.D so
shouldn't it be sufficient to just add the apropriate A.D groups on the new
SQL Server and grant those the nececary rights on the databases?|||That would do the same thing. However, it would cause administrative
overhead.
That's why it's recommended moving logins using SSIS.

Migrate SQL 2000 to New SQL 2005 Installation.

Hi all, in my current environment, I have a single server SQL 2000 setup that's being replaced. I'm in the process of installing a new SQL 2005 cluster with the thought of taking advantage of 2005 mirroring and clustering, but have a few questions.

1. My thinking is that I can migrate my 2000 databases to 2005, but leave the databases in 8.0 (2000) mode. Are there any issues with this? I know they won't take advantage of the 2005 performance boost

2. Some of the apps don't support 2005 yet so I need to leave them in 2000 mode until they do. Is SQL 2005 fully backwards compatible with a SQL 2000 database?

3. Will mirroring work on SQL 2005 with a database that is still in 2000 mode?

Thanks for any assistance with this!

Start by running the SQL Server 2005 upgrade advisor against your SQL 2000 installation. This will give you good information on problems that you might need to address. Also, if your applications are purchased, check with the vendors for advice on compatibility. But the bottom line is that every application is unique and the only way you'll know for sure is by carefully testing.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question on mirroring.

Paul

|||Thanks for the response Paul, Doesn't the upgrade advisor only tell me info in regards to actually upgrading the database? I'm looking at keeping them at 8.0 compatibility on SQL 2005. Basically, I'm looking at keeping the databases at the SQL2000 level on a SQL2005 box. I guess my real question is: Are databases that are running in SQL2000 compatibility mode on a SQL2005 box fully backwards compatible?|||

Most applications will upgrade with no problems but there are a small number of breaking changes in 9.0, even if you stay in 8.0 compat mode. Look up "compatibility" and "sp_dbcmptlevel" in BOL for details.

|||

hi Tynman

Yes u can always keep SQL2000 database compatibility level i.e. 80 in sql 2005 by specifying compatibility level in system stored procedure "sp_dbcmptlevel" and give compatibility level as 80 with database name.

Ur command will be: sp_dbcmplevel dbname, 80

|||

BUMP!

3. Will mirroring work on SQL 2005 with a database that is still in 2000 mode (compatibility level 80)?

Do anyone have an answer to this question?

Migrate SQL 2000 to New SQL 2005 Installation.

Hi all, in my current environment, I have a single server SQL 2000 setup that's being replaced. I'm in the process of installing a new SQL 2005 cluster with the thought of taking advantage of 2005 mirroring and clustering, but have a few questions.

1. My thinking is that I can migrate my 2000 databases to 2005, but leave the databases in 8.0 (2000) mode. Are there any issues with this? I know they won't take advantage of the 2005 performance boost

2. Some of the apps don't support 2005 yet so I need to leave them in 2000 mode until they do. Is SQL 2005 fully backwards compatible with a SQL 2000 database?

3. Will mirroring work on SQL 2005 with a database that is still in 2000 mode?

Thanks for any assistance with this!

Start by running the SQL Server 2005 upgrade advisor against your SQL 2000 installation. This will give you good information on problems that you might need to address. Also, if your applications are purchased, check with the vendors for advice on compatibility. But the bottom line is that every application is unique and the only way you'll know for sure is by carefully testing.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question on mirroring.

|||Thanks for the response Paul, Doesn't the upgrade advisor only tell me info in regards to actually upgrading the database? I'm looking at keeping them at 8.0 compatibility on SQL 2005. Basically, I'm looking at keeping the databases at the SQL2000 level on a SQL2005 box. I guess my real question is: Are databases that are running in SQL2000 compatibility mode on a SQL2005 box fully backwards compatible?|||

Most applications will upgrade with no problems but there are a small number of breaking changes in 9.0, even if you stay in 8.0 compat mode. Look up "compatibility" and "sp_dbcmptlevel" in BOL for details.

hi Tynman

Yes u can always keep SQL2000 database compatibility level i.e. 80 in sql 2005 by specifying compatibility level in system stored procedure "sp_dbcmptlevel" and give compatibility level as 80 with database name.

Ur command will be: sp_dbcmplevel dbname, 80

migrate existing sql database to cluster

We are in the process of putting together a Windows 2000
distributed failover cluster. We have numerous SQL 2000
servers functioning as DB servers for a few different
departments. What we would like to do is eventually
migrate theses databases off of the stand alone servers to
the clustered servers.
Few questions:
Are there any major things to look out for when migrating
the databases? Or is it basically using the migration
wizard thats built into SQL server and dumping the
databases to one of the new installs of SQL on the cluster?
What about transaction and data files? Do these need to
be migrated as well?
Anything major I should be on the lookout for?
Any documentation about this on MS site? I couldnt find
any.
TIA!
Jeff BaileyYou should read on "moving databases between servers".
One Issue that often comes is security (logins/users).
