Awesome! The world is melting!
Uptime of client's machine
I have created a web based e-commerce site for a client a while ago. Was quite impressed to notice today that machine I have built using Gentoo linux and JBoss for the AS has been running for more than 500 days now:
dXrTle ~ # uptime
17:45:02 up 503 days, 1:36, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00
SQL Server 2005 Maintenance plan fails with "Failed:(0) Alter failed for Server 'servername'."
One thing you'll learn (if you have not already) is that SQL Server 2005's Maintenance Plans (which are actually SSIS workflows executed by SQL Server Agent Service) do NOT provide useful error information. I had to set up a script for a customer but spent my (very) early morning tearing out all the hair on my ageing head.
See, I got this from SQL Server History: Failed:(0) Alter failed for Server 'servername'. If that rings a bell for you then congratulations. It did not for me.
Today I stumbled upon the solution - thanks to a guy named Brent_Dorsey from sqlug.be:
My most precious has arrived.....
Finally - 23 days early - my Most Precious has arrived via FedEx.
