Hi,
I'm copying/updating a database from one server to another. The package is executed as a SQL Agent job and overwrites the destination database. The package runs for about 20 minutes and then fails with the error below. At failure, the DB has about 60% of its 17GB size.
I used Profiler to watch the database being dropped and then created. Next the tables and other objects. Then data being bulk-inserted. Every time I run the package, the last data load is for a table that uses the image data type. After that the full-text indexes and catalogs are dropped. Then the users. In the end, the database is up and has the tables and SPs, but no data.
The error log show the DB starting up. The options being set. And thats it. No errors.
Help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Walt
