I am looking for a way to back up SSIS Catalog Database that was deployed on Azure. I looked through the documentation here:
SSIS Catalog
It seems like the first step of doing that would be backing up a master key, which is not supported on Azure, so I tried to look for a more general way of backing up SQL Server on Azure like this method of using Azure Portal GUI:
Azure Backup: SQL Databases and How To Back Them Up
Or using SSMS export wizard:
Export a Data-tier Application
However, it seems like they all fail to back up SSIS Catalog DB, giving this Error SQL71564:
One or more unsupported elements were found in the schema used as part of a data package.
Error SQL71564: Error validating element Signature for '[internal].[get_database_principals]': The element Signature for '[internal].[get_database_principals]' cannot be deployed. This element contains state that cannot be recreated in the target database.
Error SQL71564: Error validating element Signature for '[internal].[get_principal_id_by_sid]': The element Signature for '[internal].[get_principal_id_by_sid]' can...
I am investigating the details of these error messages, and they seem to mean that I should change the metadata or structure of the SSISDB, which I can't really do at the moment. Is there any way to backup SSIS DB on Azure without really changing SSIS DB?
Please try generating a DACPAC from the command line.
You can follow these articles:

I've created a backup of my local database through "Export Data Tier Application" and I saved the file at Azure Blob.
At Azure Portal, I choose my SQL Server and import a new database. I select the backup from the Blob, and wait a long time for the DB creation. It stucks at 1% all the time.
After 40 minutes, I get this message every single time I try to create the database:
The ImportExport operation with Request Id
'f6743e06-592d-4531-b319-4297b345f744e' failed due to 'Could not
import package. Warning SQL0: A project which specifies SQL Server
2019 or Azure SQL Database Managed Instance as the target platform may
experience compatibility issues with Microsoft Azure SQL Database v12.
Warning SQL72012: The object [data_0] exists in the target, but it
will not be dropped even though you selected the 'Generate drop
statements for objects that are in the target database but that are
not in the source' check box. Warning SQL72012: The object [log]
exists in the target, but '.
This is very frustrating, its just a database with tables (with no data) that only weights 25 megs. Im following every single tutorial to make this work, every single step, and I always get that error, no matter which database name I choose.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Instead of going through the process of creating a bacpac, upload it to an Azure Storage account and the fail at the end to import it to Azure SQL, you can easily migrate that SQL Server to azure using Azure Data Migration Assistant (DMA).
You just have to create an empty Azure SQL Database, and DMA do the rest. You can download it from here.
I have a backup file that came from Server A and I copied that .bak files into my local and setup that DB into my Sql Server Management Studio. Now After setting it up I deployed it in Azure Sql Database. But now there were change in the Data in Server A because it's still being used, so I need to get all those changes to the Azure SQL Database that I just deployed. How am I going to do that?
Note: I'm using Azure for my server and I have a local copy of Server A database. So basically in terms of data and structure my local and the previous Server A db is the same. But after a few days Server A data is now updated and my local DB is still the same as when I just backup the db in Server A.
How can I update the DB in Azure to take all the changes in Server A and deploy it in Azure?
You've got a few choices. It's just about migrating data. It's also a question of which data you're going to migrate. Let's say it's a neat, complete replacement. Then, I'd suggest looking at the bacpac mechanism. That's a way to export a database, it's structure and data, then import it into a new location. This is one mechanism of moving to Azure.
If you can't simply replace everything, you need to look at other options. First, there's SSIS. You can build a pipeline to move the data you need. There's also export and import through sqlcmd, which can connect to Azure SQL Database. You can also look to a third party tool like Redgate SQL Data Compare as a way to pick and choose the data that gets moved. There are a whole bunch of other possible Extract/Transform/Load (ETL) tools out there that can help.
Do you want to sync schema changes as well as Data change or just Data? If it is just Data then the best service to be used would be Azure Data Migration Service, where this service can help you copy the delta with respect to Data to Azure incrementally, both is online and offline manner and you can also decide on the schedule.
I am trying to create a free SQL Database in Azure under my DreamSpark subscription but I repeatedly receive the following error:
When you start an SQL Database creation, Azure lets you choose or create an SQL Server:
Since I don't currently have an Azure SQL Server I have to create one. I figured my error could be isolated to the server creation and effectively, while trying to create only the server, the error still rises.
I think that, even if Dreamspark subscription allows for a free small SQL Database, it does not allow for a free SQL Server. But this does not make any sense because I think there is no way to have an SQL Database without an SQL Server... So my questions:
Could you please confirm or refute my suspicion about Azure not permitting a free SQL Server in DreamSpark subscription?
In case it is not allowed, is there a way to create an SQL database without an SQL Server in Azure?
In case it is indeed allowed, why do I have this error then?
Thanks in advance.
I ended up circumventing this problem by using visual studio 2017 to create DB and DB Server for me. So we can be sure that DreamSpark subscription allows for a small DB AND a DB Server creation, which makes sense.
Still, don't know why I was getting that weird error though.
While creating the db, visual studio changed the name I provided by concatenating "dbserver" and "_db" to the server and db respectively. Perhaps, there was a naming issue that VS solved automatically, and that Azure is not reporting correctly.
I'm attempting to add a new data source from a SQL Server on Azure VM for a search service and indexer I'm creating through the Azure web portal. It's my understanding that I can create an index, import this data, then create an indexer to regularly push data to the index. I'm adding the connection string for our SQL Server and getting a successful message when clicking "Test Connection". The tables show up in a drop-down list, and I select one.
When I click "OK" on creating the new data source, a popup comes up that says "Sampling Data Source..." then an "Error detecting index schema from data source: 'Data source payload should specify at least one of datasource name and type'".
I've tried Googling this error, and I can't find anything on it and not sure how to fix it so I can proceed.
This looks like a bug in Azure Search portal support for SQL Server data sources.
We'll investigate. In the meantime, you can create your datasource programmatically as shown in Connecting Azure SQL Database to Azure Search.
In one of my project i have used Asp.net membership provider and there is some data on production environment.Now i need to to migrate that DB with SQL Azure.
I have used SQLAzureMW tool to migrate that and that tool has done proper migration except aspnet_user table's data and some of SPs and i have skip that table manually at time of final step on that tool
When i have looked in to data then aspnet_users table's data missing!
I have also read about New script for SQL Azure but i think that is for to create from scratch, i also heard about Universal Provider but confused in that.
As per my requirement what steps i need to follow to migrate existing sql db to windows azure sql db(WASD) with data and considering this what would be impact of that on application?
Note: Session State is also being managed using SQL provider here
Update
Again i have tried it with SQLAzureMW tool and this time i noticed that due to default collation type some of Sps were missing so i have run that manually as per this link
However still i need to make sure would there be any issue regarding session state Or other thing as i have migrate it's from existing db to WASD?
the SQLAzureMW tool show any message that you skip?
I have had many problems with this tool, but finally I could did everything with it. I would try creating first time Data Schema Only, and after copying the Data. Maybe you should use also DROP and CREATE option when generating the script, if the old data can't be overwrite. I hope this helps!
