Linked Server Selection Query Fails with "MS DTC has stopped this transaction"
Hi everyone, I’m currently setting up a Linked Server from our head office (server A) SQL Server to a subsidiary unit (Server B) SQL Server. The Linked Server connection tests successfully, and I can log into server A from server B and can using query. However, when I try to execute a query using a 4-part name through Linked server, I encounter the following error: Msg 8522, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) has stopped this transaction. Environment Details: Head Office (server A) SQL Server: SQL Server 2008 R2 (already upgraded pack SP3) Windows Server 2012 TLS 1.2 enabled MS DTC service is turned on Subsidiary (server B) SQL Server: SQL Server 2016 Windows Server 2016 Standard (64-bit) TLS 1.2 enabled MS DTC service is turned on Networking: The B server connects via VPN to be on the same network as server A Ping and Telnet tests (IP and port) from both sides work fine SQL login from server A to server B(via IP and port) is successful USING PROVIDER: i have try to using SQLNCLI11 and MSOLEDBSQL, but both till error DTC. Linked Server test connection: Success Update, insert query: it's ok, but when i try selection query, i got error DTC has stop this transaction. example: SELECT * FROM [LinkedServerName].[DatabaseName].[dbo].table Has anyone faced a similar issue? Could this be a MS DTC configuration mismatch or network security/firewall/DTC port range issue? Any guidance on how to properly configure MS DTC across different servers/domains/VPNs would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Bulk Insert causing duplicates in target table
We use ETL tool(C# based) which uses Bulkcopy method to do bulk insert to target table. Recently we are facing 2 Issues in our daily loads 1. Target table with no primary key - the load returns success but it inserts 5x times of the same record. It loads same records 5 times. 2. Target table with Primary Key - The load returns failure with primary key constraint but it inserts the rows into target table. DBA Team is unable to find anything in there logs ,So I am confused why this error occurs. This occurs daily in 10% of the jobs and once you rerun after 2-3 hrs the same job finishes successfully without above mentioned issues. Please suggest how can I debug this issue.Improve query performance on memory optimized tables with Temporal using new index creation enhancement in SP1
