    Hi!

    I am using App-V 4.6 RTM on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 and SQL Server 2008 SP1 x64 with all latest patches.

    Default English language everywhere.

    Since App-V installation, SQL Server Agent job named "SoftGrid Database (APPVIRT46): Check Usage History" which by default

    is running once a month, was never able to run successfully. The error was following:

    Executed as user: dbo. The server principal "sa" is not able to access the database "APPVIRT46" under the current security context. [SQLSTATE 08004] (Error 916).  The step failed.

    To resolve this error in job step properties I changed default master database to APPVIRT46, and got next error:

    Executed as user: dbo. DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 2528)  'TRUNCATE_ONLY' is not a recognized BACKUP option. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 155)  DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 2528).  The step failed.

    How to solve this one I dont know, since TRUNCATE_ONLY is not supported in SQL Server 2008.

    From App-V product description I understand that SQL Server 2008 is supported by App-V 4.6.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks for any help.

    OK, I commented out following line


    EXEC (N'BACKUP LOG [' + @db_name + N'] WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY')


    in  procedure sp_SFTcleanupusage and now job runs fine.

    Initially I tried to delete only WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY part from the line, and got error:


    Executed as user: dbo. DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 2528)  The statement BACKUP LOG is not allowed while the recovery model is SIMPLE. Use BACKUP DATABASE or change the recovery model using ALTER DATABASE. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 4208)  BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013)  DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 2528).  The step failed.


    The code even doesnt check for recovery model of the database and by default App-V database is created with Simple recovery model.

    Thanks for answer, Znack.

    I saw that thread as I did search before posting my question.

    Suggested solution confuses me a little - so everyone who run App-V 4.6 on SQL Server 2008 need to manually edit system procedure sp_SFTcleanupusage for history cleanup to work? I mean isnt that a bug and shouldnt there be an official patch or workaround that solves this?

    Hello,

    Unless noone reports it as a bug via Microsoft Support (the forums are not an official support channel) I don't think Microsoft will prioritize fixing this - if it truely is a bug...

    Glad you were able to resolve your issue, of course you could have changed App-V's database recover model to Full in which case removing WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY would've worked.
