bcp error while log ship reversal

  • I am getting following error when I try to exectue a piece of code that would move syslogins

    rlx\svcDBASQLAdmin. SQLState = S1000, NativeError = 0  Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Unable to open BCP host data-file.  Process Exit Code 1.  The step failed.

    above error occurs when following code is executed as a job

    bcp master..syslogins out S:\logins\TransactionLogs\syslogins.dat /N /S sqlser /U sa /P test123

    i have given user rlx\svcDBASQLAdmin full control to S:\logins\TransactionLogs share. dont know why would i get the error message above.

  • The error that you are getting is due to either the fact that the directory does not exist or the account does not have write authority to your bcp target. However even if you fix these things it will not do you any good because you cannot move user logins via bcp anymore <period>. Either use the DTS transfer logins task or look at this KB article:

  • I  think the article you mentioned probably only applies to the restore of a db. I am working off of this

    Let me know what you think.

    thanks

  • I have resolved the issue above. It had to do with permission to the folder.
