Log Shipping Error

  • Hi all,

    I am trying to configure remote log shipping and getting following error.

    I have checked everything on both the sides and looks perfect. Primary backup and secondary copy folders are also shared. Same agent accounts are used on both the sides. Same SQL Server builds. There is no issue from the log shipping configuration point of view, it is all checked. Firewall is also opened for both the boxes, cause I copied logs from primary only.

    Can anyone tell me what is the problem in this?

  • Hi,

    I too have faced the same problem......

    N E one kindly suggest....

  • I think .. the agent does not have sufficient privileges.. check that

    "More Green More Oxygen !! Plant a tree today"

  • hi,

    but how to check the privileges for the agent......

  • If the Agent is a domain account, check the permissions on the SQL Log directory on both servers. Also check for misconfiguration on the log shipping jobs. Maybe it's trying to log to a server/database that doesn't exist.

  • hi,

    I have set up logshipping using the sa credentials for all the servers... i.e the primary server,the secondary server and the monitor server. the situation is like this :

    the logshiping is succeding for the primary server

    it is failing for the secondary server...... the log copy and restore are failing.

    can anyone suggest how to share the folders for copying the logs to the secondary server......

    another question is that i have created SQLAdmin user and have given sqladmin rights to it..... do we need to change the owner of the jobs to the SQLAdmin ????

  • Purnell is right follow that. Is it possible to resetup the Log shipping once again. That might help.

  • Change the log shipping configuration to run under the account of sql agent. then check the log shi[pping jobs also to run under the configuration of the sql agent account.

  • i have re setup transaction log shipping .....but no success....

    i'm running 2 instances 2000 and 2005 2 dbs of each instance are to be logshipped...

    is there anything to do with the updates or the service packs???

    presently i'm having the following configuration

    SQL2005 (primary server)

    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3175.00 (X64) Jun 14 2007 11:45:39 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)

    log shipped to

    SQL2005(secondary server)

    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (Intel X86) Feb 9 2007 22:47:07 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

    Kindly suggest

  • Is is possible you are trying Log shippng from 2000 to 2005 or vice versa?? In general, they are not compatible.

  • no the two instances are in 2005......

  • May be a new bug..not sure better contact support.

  • Hi Everyone,

    We faced the same problem as well. Have tried these:

    Running with wizard vs script

    Give Admin rights to SQL Agent Account

    Put latest SQL 2005 Patches and Window patches.

    Still can't figure out what cause it to failed. Any suggestions.

    Best Regards,
