The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SQL 2005 Transaction Log Shipping not working but no errors are reported

Asked by grjitdept in MS SQL Server

Tags: SQL 2005 Transaction Log Shipping

Hello,
I am trying to use Transaction Log shipping to replicate a SQL 2005 database. The log shipping set up and process proceeds without any errors or warnings but when I test the replicated database none of the transaction logs seem to have been applied to it.

Here are the details:
- Primary server = windows Server 2008 Cluster with SQL 2005
- Secondary server = windows server 2003 (not clustered) with SQL 2005
- Both servers are in the same domain
- I have set up a LogShippiongOut folder on the primary server, shared it out and made sure that SQL server agent has modify access.
- I have set up a LogShippingIn folder on the secondary server and also made sure that SQL server agent has modify access.
- When setting up Transaction Log Shipping in SQL Server Management Studio I have taken all the defaults and under the Restore Transaction Log Tab for the secondary server I have chosen Standby Mode when restoring. (Though the issue also happens if I choose no recovery mode)
- No errors are reported when the log shipping is initiated and the database properly copies over to the secondary server
- Every 15 minutes all the log shipping jobs run without error.
- The transaction logs themselves appear in the both the LogShippiongOut folder on the primary server and the LogShippiongIn folder on the secondary server.
- BUT when I recover the database on the secondary server to test it, none of the transaction logs actually seem to have been applied and it is in the same state that it was when it was originally copied over during the set up.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you.
