High Availability over Distance
I am looking for suggestions on creating a mirror site. Currently we have a
SQL server in a MS Cluster Environment. We will be creating another
clustered environment which will be 5+ miles away from the primary site.
What is the best way to create a mirror of the primary site?
I am looking for the Best option available (MS or third party). Currently I
am looking at Double Take and Replistor. We have sued Replistor in the past
with some good and very bad experiences. Primary goal is to make sure
secondary site is always up to date (within a minute or so). Money is not an
object (within reason, No Million $ options please :-) )
Thank you.
Hi Henrik,
Just be careful at using the high availabilty mode when the servers
(partners) are not on the same data center and pay special attention to
network reliability, network throughput and performance.
Take a look at this paper
Database Mirroring Best Practices and Performance Considerations
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/technologies/dbm_best_pract.mspx

High Availability
solution. I'm working on designing a solution that will allow for us to have
a primary site in Orlando and a secondary site in another state. The system
needs to have data moving in almost real time between the master and
secondary site. I've looked into the sql "active-passive" setup as well as
CA's HA solution, but would like input from someone whose accomplished
something similar.
Thanks,
GTM.
Have you looked at this white paper yet?

|||Note that one of the considerations for the active/passive GEO Cluster is that the network connections must be able to provide a maximum guaranteed round trip latency between nodes of no more than 500
milliseconds. The cluster uses heartbeat to detect whether a node is alive or not responding. These heartbeats are sent out on a periodic basis (every 1.2 seconds). If a node takes too long to respond to
heartbeat packets, MSCS starts a heavy-weight protocol to figure out which nodes are really still alive and which ones are dead; this is known as a cluster re-group. The heartbeat interval is not a configurable
parameter for the cluster service (there are many reasons for this, but the bottom line is that changing this parameter can have a significant impact on the stability of the cluster and the failover time). . 500 ms round-
trip is significantly below any threshold to ensure that artificial re-group operations are not triggered
You may want to research SQL Server Replication/ Log Shipping if you can have some latency (few secs).

also does failover.
Async replication is real-time, as opposed to the scheduled Log Shipping
function, which reduces the latency of the data.
And for availability, you can failover similar to a cluster (assuming a
server name, IP and starting services) without the distance limitation.

hierarchy
hi All,
i am facing a problem while creating a simple product hierarchy in SSAS.
i am able to create the hierarchy and deploy the cube,but in the browser while analysing i drag and drop the hierarchy .but only the key are displayed not the caption.
Please do help me with this
thanks in advance
Lalitha
You need to post this to the SQL Server Analysis Services forum.|||There shouldn't be any secrets to getting this to work, so I would just double check what you've done. Check the definition of the hierarchy/level/attribute and ensure that you are browsing the correct object. If you are still having troubles, please provide more info such as what version of SSAS you are using (2000 or 2005), what browser you are using, and more details about just what the problematic hierarchy looks like (key columns, name columns, etc).
Hope this helps
|||hi,
i am using SSAS 2005 . and i am using the browser tab which is available when the cube is proccessed.
i'll give the steps what i have done
i created a dimension of product consisting of attribute
productid
productname
producttypeid
priducttypename
productcategoryid
productcategoryname
then i am creating the heirarchy in the dimension Structure tab available.
the level were automatically identified and there was no caption avaliable
i draged and dropped the captions to the appropriate levels
and the caption didnot appear while browsing the cube..
This what is did
please do help me as soon as possible
Thanks in advances
Lalitha

What exactly are you doing when you "drag and drop captions" to appropriate levels? I'm guessing you're dragging attributes onto the hierahcy panel and dropping them under levels which creates attribute relationships (and thus Member Properties), but is not related to the caption of the level.
Levels are based on attributes and get their members from the values of the attribute on which they are based. Each attribute contains a KeyColumns property that determines how members are uniquely identified by the server and a NameColumn property that determines how the members are displayed. If the NameColumn is not specified, then the KeyColumn will also be used as the name. (If multiple key columns are specified, then a name column must be specified.) (In addition to names, translations can also be specified in the translations tab but as long as you've not changed anything in the translations tab it should have no impact.)

Thanks , I solved it. You'r information help me a lot

Hiding Reports in Sharepoint Integration Mode
I'm setting the Hidden property to True and then creating the report using the CreateReport method from the ReportingService2006 class. When I check the reportserver database Hidden is set to true. But when I call the GetProperties method it shows Hidden as being false. And in the document library the reports are visable.
I tried calling the SetProperties method after I created the report but it still didn't work.
Here's how I create the report.
Dim props(0) As ReportServer.Property
Dim SetProp As New ReportServer.Property
SetProp.Name = "Hidden"
SetProp.Value = "True"
props(0) = SetProp
rs.CreateReport(Path.GetFileName(fileName), Folder, True, bytes, props, warnings)
Any idea?
Thanks,
-Somsong
The Hidden property isn't respected by SharePoint document libraries. We would have had to make code changes in SharePoint itself in order to get document libraries to respect RS's Hidden property, and we didn't pursue that.|||So we would have to set up a default view and set a filter on it so that certain items can be hidden right? I can create a column in the document library and call it hidden, if the value in here is 'Yes' I could hide it. Do you know if I can set this value when I use the CreateReport method from the Reporting Services 2006 Web Service by passing in properties? I'm guessing this won't work cause those properties are probably just for the Report Server Database. I would probably have to use the Sharepoint Object Model to edit that column value right?
Thanks,
-Somsong

Hiding parameters
solved by creating parameters that gets the values from a dataset.
But I can't hide these parameters from the user. If I leave the promt field
empty it will become read only, but not hidden.
Is there a way of hiding these parameters?I beleive if you install SP1 for Reporting Services you can hide the header
(by not providing the prompt) but still be able to set the values...

If you do it via the report designer - just leave the prompt blank. I have
had great success using this method.

This is done in the Report Designer.
But since I now know that this should work, I'll just look around in my
solution to see if something is done wrong.
Thanks again.

I have the Report Server and SQL Server on two different servers.
Currently the SP1 is only installed on the Report Server (server).
Do I also need to install the SP1 on the server where SQL Server is located?

And if I'm not wrong this is the correct number for SP1.
