Frozen SSMS

  • Has anybody encountered the following problem ?

    When I tried to expand Managment / SQL Server Logs to check error logs, it actually did not expand it and SSMS is hanging since then. I even cannot close it from right-mouse-click/close.

    How can I fix this ? What should I set in order to prevent this in future ?

    Thanks

     

  • I've never heard of this one. Go to connect.microsoft.com. You can search for the bug there to see if anyone else has hit it. If not, you can report it.

    I just did a search over there and couldn't find anything. I tried "expand log" "open log" "ssms hang"

    You may want to try a couple of more searches or post a bug.

  • What's the actual size (mb) of the serverlogs ?

    I guess it's pulling it over the network, hence the "not responding"

  • Does it pull them all over when you expand the file list? I definately see a slow down when I open the error logs themselves, but I've not run into when I open the list (yet, knock wood, turn three times, sacrifice a goat to Murphy).

  • ...Does it pull them all over when you expand the file list?...

    AFAIK it doesn't.

    Only when you open them, it will pull them over .... My guess is this was the case.

  • In order to answer to a question of what size is error log file is I need to know in what folder it stores error log files - I tried to check all possible folders but it's not anywhere.

    After I try to expand SQL Server Logs, after a while it displays a message "Failed to retrieve data for this request. An exception occured while executing a T-SQL statement or batch. A secere error occured on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded."

    Is it possible that SQL Server does not keep error log file at all ? Or is it corrupted ?

    Thanks

     

  • Open up Sql server configuration mananget.

    Connect to your sqlserver-server.

    rightclick your wanted sqlserver service, go to the advanced tab and check the startup propetries. The sqlerrorlogfile is specified with the -e parameter.

  • Should I connect to SS config manager in my local machine or at actual server machine via RDC ?

    Because what I see on my local machine SS conf mgr is completely different from your description.

    If that's RDC, unfortunately I don't have access to that server.

     

  • it's a pitty, but you'll need RDC or so.

    this script also gives you the parameters.

    exec master..xp_instance_regenumvalues N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', N'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer\Parameters'
