How to Update References to the BAM Analysis Server and Star Schema Database Names

  • Article

If you backed up your BAMAnalysis and BAMStarSchema databases, in the event of a system or data failure you can restore that backup to a different computer and you can rename the backup.

To restore the BAM Analysis Server or BAMStarSchema databases, perform the steps in How to Restore Your Databases. In addition, you must update the BAM Data Transformation Services (DTS) packages with the new server name and database name.

Prerequisites

You must be logged on as a member of the BizTalk Server Administrators group to perform this procedure.

To update references to the BAM Analysis Server and BAM Star Schema database name (SQL Server 2008 R2/SP1)

  1. Stop any BAM cube update and data maintenance SSIS packages, or prevent them from running until you have restored the BAMAnalysis or BAMStarSchema databases.

  2. Stop the BizTalk Application service (which includes the BAM Event Bus service) so it does not try to import more data into the databases.

    1. Click Start, click Run, and then type services.msc.

    2. Right-click the BizTalk Service BizTalk Group: BizTalkServerApplication service and then click Stop.

    Tip

    Another way to stop a service is to use the Net Stop command. To stop the BizTalk service using Net Stop, open a Command Prompt (If using Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista, start the Command Prompt using Run As Administrator) and type the following: Net Stop BTSSvc$BizTalkServerApplication then press Enter.

  3. Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, and then click SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio.

  4. In SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio, create a new project. Click File, click New, and then click Project.

  5. In the New Project dialog box, in Templates, click Integration Services Project, and then click OK.

  6. In the Integration Services Project dialog box, in Solution Explorer, right-click SSIS Packages, and then click Add Existing Package.

  7. In the Add Copy of Existing Package dialog box, in the Server drop-down list box, select the server that contains the BAM_AN package.

  8. In Package Path, click the ellipses button.

  9. In the SSIS Package dialog box, select the BAM_AN package, click OK, and then click OK.

    The package is now listed in Solution Explorer.

  10. In Solution Explorer, double-click the BAM_AN package. In Connection Managers, double-click database number 3 (MSDB database).

  11. In the Connection Manager dialog box, in the Server name box, enter the name of the MSDB server, and then click OK.

  12. Click the Package Explorer tab, double-click the Variables folder, and then update the values for the primary import server name and primary import database name.

  13. Click File, and then click Save All.

  14. In Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, click Connect.

  15. Click Integration Services, double-click Stored Packages, click MSDB, right-click the BAM_AN package, and then click Import Package.

  16. In the Import Package dialog box, in Package location, select File System.

  17. In Package Path, navigate to your saved project, select the BAM_AN*.dtsx file, and then click Open.

  18. Click inside the Package Name box to automatically populate the box.

  19. Click OK, and then click Yes to overwrite.

  20. Restart the BizTalk Application service.

    1. Click Start, click Run, and then type services.msc.

    2. Right-click the BizTalk Service BizTalk Group: BizTalkServerApplication service and then click Start.

  21. Enable any BAM cube update and data maintenance SSIS packages.
