Error using DTA Utility to examin workload on test server

  • The error "E002" reads "Database xxx could not be successfully cloned on the test server"

    The workload is a trace file (.trc).

    I think that this has something to do with the hardware and software differences.

    The version of sql server on production is:

    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.4273.00 (X64)

    Dec 3 2009 10:20:38

    Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation

    Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

    The version of sql server on test is:

    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.4035.00 (Intel X86)

    Nov 24 2008 13:01:59

    Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation

    Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

    If you need more information please let me know.

    Thanks,

    James

  • I found the following suggestions.

    1. Make sure that you are not using an unsupported tuning option. The following link provides the unsupported tuning options: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345360.aspx

    2. Ensure that the two SQL Server instances are the same SQL Server editions.

    3. Ensure that the two machines belong to the same domain.

    4. Use the Trusted Connection option in the DTA utility command.

    It looks like the problem revolves around the servers being different versions.

  • Thank you sir,

    I found that as well.

    Looks like I'll have to wait for our latest test server which will be 64-bit.

  • You're welcome.
