  • i'm writing below this code..

    exec msdb..sp_send_dbmail

    @profile_name = 'local',@recipients='chintu@www.com'

    , @subject ='Log Shipping Job succeeded'

    , @QUERY = 'exec sp_executesql @stmt=N'exec sp_help_log_shipping_monitor',@params=N'

    I want Log shipping Status Through Mail.please Suggest Me.....because last back up transaction in the day and last restoration trn file in the day...

    so may be above script right..please help me.

  • Not sure why you'd want to use this (as the results from the sp_help_log_shipping_monitor will be in a horrible format using this method) but this will work:

    exec msdb..sp_send_dbmail

    @recipients='chintu@www.com'

    , @subject ='Log Shipping Job succeeded'

    , @QUERY = 'exec sp_help_log_shipping_monitor'

    Which version of MSSQL are you running? Is there any reason you're not using the built-in report for logshipping (attached?) - it's a built in SSRS report that you could prolly easily schedule to have emailed to you via the Reporting Services Reporting Manager...

  • Thankful...

    my current Version is 2008r2 standard edition

    but i don't know that process via Reporting services.i want last backup TRN in the day and last restoration TRN in the day.i know that only, am creating a one job and i can scheduled that job.please explain to me Via Reporting services via Email..please Help me

    ....

    iam writing below Script,

    exec msdb..sp_send_dbmail

    @recipients='chintu@www.com'

    , @subject ='Log Shipping Job succeeded'

    , @QUERY = 'exec sp_help_log_shipping_monitor'

    it shows the last backup and last copied and last restoration .but TimeStamp is not their..

    I will definitely appreciate any help from your side.

  • I think Are You Said,

    Reporting services configuration Manager To via Email Right.

    But is it possible??

  • please Help me..its very Urgent..........

    I Want last backUp TRN and Last restore TRN file in the day i., logshipping databases send via email also..(TRansactional stauts report through send email)

    SQL server DBA

  • Doesn't the query I posted above give you the results you are looking for?

    I don't believe there is a way to access/schedule the SSRS report that's built in to MSSQL (if there is I can't find it).

    Here's the dissected code from the exec sp_help_log_shipping_monitor if you run this on the log shipped server it will email you an email like the one attached. This code should run without change on any server (as long as database mail is enabled) - It will LOOP thorugh all the log shipped databases, returning the log shipping status for EACH

    You need to do some of this work yourself...

    If you schedule the script as a SQL Agent job and set it to run every hour, yes, you will receive 24 mails/day.

    If you just want the last one at the end of the day, create a SQL Agent job and schedule it to run once a day, at 11:59:57pm

  • Dear MyDoggieJessie

    First i made a mistake in de recipient parameter this is solved

    Then i drop the 3 temp databases.

    When i execute the script i got the message

    Msg 245, level 16, Sate 1, Line 127

    Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '<Primary_Server>\<Instancename>' data type bit.

    When i execute the script again i get teh message

    Msg 2714, level 16, Sate 6, Line xx

    There is already a object name '#log_shipping_monitor' in the database.

    In tempdb

    i see the 3 table, but these are empty.

    Should i run this as a job in the Job Aagent?

  • Make sure the temp tables are dropped. when you first executed the script the temp tables were created then when you attempted to rerun it, it fails because that table already exists.

    It would be cleaner to add an IF EXISTS in the beginning of the procedure/script, this would then drop the table should they already exists...

    Again, please post your script(s) when you are needing assistance (it's easier for someone to help)

  • I had it failed with similar error :

    Msg 245, level 16, Sate 1, Line 127

    Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '<Primary_Server>\<Instancename>' data type bit.

    The issue was with inserting a varchar value to pre-defined variable @is_primary which is of datatype "bit "

    In the code it does an insert:

    insert into #log_shipping_monitor (

    status

    ,is_primary

    ,server

    ,database_name

    ,is_backup_alert_enabled)

    values (

    1

    ,@primary_server ----This is defined as bit in #log_shipping_monitor whereas the value passed here is varchar

    ,@primary_database

    ,@backup_threshold

    ,@is_backup_alert_enabled)

    I see this script working very well in secondary server but on primary server, even after I fixed the datatype to sysname, it sends an empty email with no HTML.

  • Of course it doesn't work on the Primary Server...It's not supposed to. The OP asked for an automated notification of all log shipped DB's. Log shipping is in essence an actions from the Primary to the secondary...not the other way around.

    When the CURSOR originally gets created declare #hcprimaries cursor local fast_forward for

    select

    primary_id

    ,primary_server

    ,primary_database

    ,backup_threshold

    ,threshold_alert_enabled

    from msdb.dbo.log_shipping_monitor_primary with (nolock)

    order by primary_server, primary_database

    Nothing gets returned (because the values don't even exist on the secondary server, because the initial table column is a "is_primary bit not null default 0", this value gets set to 0 (and not the actual server name).

    This is of course, by design.
