Hello,
I'm trying to automate a prod to test restore to run weekly on a SQL 2000
sp3a server. Its on the same machine so I can't use the copy db wizard.
Should i use DTS, replication or what. I don't want to deal with orphaned
users and the like. It should be as seamless as possible.
TIA,
jj

automating data refresh
Frequently we get request of data refresh. Its curbersome process everytime
to take backup from prod and restore in development/test region. I am
thinking to automate this process using stored procedure. But I need to pass
various parameters to SP to tell where is source, destination, domain, etc.,
Anyone has better ideas/suggestions. Do you have any script reg.
Thanks,
RamuIf you’re using SQL 2005 there are more options obviously with data mirror
and then snapshot. If you want a straight backup and restore then use a
stored proc on the destination server dev or test to use a UNC to grab last
night’s backup file and copy it locally. Then do the restore. Do the copy
with a batch file or better yet a powershell script and then create another
proc that accepts the parameters you need for the restore. Then create a job
with no schedule and give the developers access to the job. The job would
have the step of executing the batch file then executing the restore. You ca
n
also use snapshot replication to refresh dev and test on a schedule when
things are slow, however if you did this make sure the either the dev or tes
t
system are the distributor to offline some of the over head of replication.
If that’s what you want.

Automated Dump/Load
Hi
Does anyone have any scripts/jobs that automate the load from prod to test
environments. Prod already has dump jobs running. What I am looking for is a
sp or job which will ready the backup history table on prod and get the
latest dump files, xcopy them to test server and load test databases having
first killed users related to the db's being loaded.
Thanks
