weird error caused 7hrs of downtime ..

  • Hi all Pals!!!!

    I am facing a weird error at one of our customer sites. I spent many hours but didn't find any sort of hint or resolution to the issue. For now only as a temporary resolution we are just rebooting the machine.

    Its really appreciated if any can out me in a right direction.... 🙁

    The event logs provides me only this error:

    Exception happened when running extended stored procedure 'sp_OACreate' in the library 'odsole70.dll'. SQL Server is terminating process 71. Exception type: Win32 exception; Exception code: 0xe06d7363.

    and the sql logs gives me a different error like this:

    CryptoAPI function 'CryptAcquirecontext' failed

    This issue caused almost 7hrs of downtime 🙁 ... can anyone help me ASAP

  • Hi Vinu,

    The error you are getting is a compiler error and is described in (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/185294) - but that doesn't really tell you what actually caused it.

    As an exception was caught you should have a number of SQLDumpr* txt, mdmp and log files in the Log directory. (I am assumuing sql 2005 from what I remember sql 2000 had two sets, the mdmp and the .txt files)

    You have two options, the first is to contact Microsoft support and get them to have a look at the dump files and work out what it is, or (and/or) you can try posting some of the info here.

    What we will need is to take a look at the SQLDump00xx.txt file - specifically the input buffer and the stack trace - this might point to an obvious candidate, if it doesn't then the SQLDump000X.mdmp should be a user dump which will have a stack trace and *might* show what the problem is.

  • hi edwardelliott ,

  • 'sp_OA***' procs have always been on a bumpy road.:sick:

    With sql2005/8, if you can, convert all extended sprocs to CLR modules.

  • This recurred again after a month now.....

    it gives out same errors and event error logs are also not helping much...

    any suggestions? 🙁

  • i found these errors:

    'General cryptographic failure.'

  • did your sqlserver memory consumption grow contantly during this month ?

    If yes, you may be suffering a leak and may need to plan reboots on a regular basis, unless you can convert to CLR usage.

  • its not having any scheduled reboot and can u give me any idea how to conver to CLR...

  • We don't use any xprocs, so I didn't have to convert them.

    We only used sp_oacreate with smtp mail. These have all been switched to dbmail in sql2005.

    Maybe this link is worth a try: http://www.filehungry.com/english/product/windows_software/programming/database_tools/sql_clr
