So you’ve found an issue in a Package in a Project for a DataSynchronization in a Integration Services Catalogs ( .dtsx file ) that you want to edit?
Install if its not already on it and open SQL Server Data Tools
Click on File and New Project
Choose this Project
Choose “Intergration Servies Catalog” and Open the project
You should see the .dstx files on the right under
Login to the Nable Administrator Report Manager ( http://%reportmanagerserver%/Interface/Pages/menu.aspx )
You will need to use the username : reportsadmin@n-able.com ( You can reset this password )
Navigate to the following
Depending on your retention modify the below per here
Open SQL Server Management Studio make sure you have maintenance plan set up on the ODS Database
If you backup via another utility you can cancel the below :
After the maintenance plan ran , we ran a Shrink on the database to reduce a 400GB Database file back down to 50GB for 3000 Devices
*SolarWinds MSP does not recommend shrinking your database.* however this was needed due to the ODS build up
A Server 2012 R2 started getting VSS Writer Errors randomly in Veeam backup job. The server is running AADconnect which is set to autoupdate
A restart of the VSS SQL Writer which usually fixes this did not resolve the issue.
A look in the event log shows
A VSS writer has rejected an event with error 0x800423f4, The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retried,
the error is likely to reoccur.
. Changes that the writer made to the writer components while handling the event will not be available to the requester. Check the event log for related events from the application hosting the VSS writer.

Looks like you need to download the SQL Fix from here : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2983175/cumulative-update-package-2-for-sql-server-2012-sp2
Mirror Here : https://mega.nz/#!3AZ3gK7I!kDPhnAlur4XtslKxGXwmbnLitJiwN9R6rK-z4Rh0N-s
**Update , fix does not seem to work
A repair on the SQL database and then run the below script
Looks like this might be an issue with AADcoonect

**Update
ADSync launches an SQL Server Local DB under it’s own user account
– The User Profile Service thinks ADSync is no longer logged on, and unloads the registry
– SQL Server though still has handles to the registry, but they’re invalid now
Detailed explanation:

In short: Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->User Profiles->Do not forcefully unload the user registry at user logoff
For some reason I couldn’t delete credentials from Veeam due to them being used on a Shared Folder that did not existing in a backup repository or Tape to Folder. In the end I had to use SQL remove this.
As there is no notification with the iManage Email Filing Server when folder status turns from Succeeded to reset the folder , we use the following SQL Statement to notify us via email when there are problems
$PSEmailServer = "smptserver"
##SQL Query Function no SQL installs needed all powershell baby
function Invoke-SQL ($SQLServer, $SqlQuery) {
#Uncomment below to double check the statement
#Write-Host $SqlQuery
$SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$SqlConnection.ConnectionString = "Server = $SQLServer; Integrated Security = True"
$SqlCmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
$SqlCmd.CommandText = $SqlQuery
$SqlCmd.Connection = $SqlConnection
$SqlAdapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
$SqlAdapter.SelectCommand = $SqlCmd
$DataSet = New-Object System.Data.DataSet
[void]$SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet)
$SqlConnection.Close()
return $dataset.tables
}
$sqlresult = Invoke-SQL imanagesqlserver "select COUNT(1) from [imanagedatabase].[MHGROUP].EM_PROJECTS where ENABLED='Y' AND (STATUS=-1 or STATUS=-3)"
$DocGenCount = $sqlresult| select -expand Column1
if ($DocGenCount -gt 0 ) {
Send-MailMessage -From "email@domain.com.au" -to "email@domain.com" -Subject "EFS Problem Database Support" -Body "Current number of Issues $DocGenCount "
}
We recently got alerts through however logging into the Worksite Email Filing Server Management GUI there were no marked folders for resetting. This was due to the email address of the iManage user not matching the users filing email
It seems the iManage Inbox has difficulties filing items in a folder with a Custom24 Attribute attached to it. Here’s how to search imanage folders and list Workspaces/Folders with this attribute to remove where required.
SELECT PF.PRJ_NAME AS 'Folder Name', PWS.PRJ_NAME AS 'Workspace Name', PN.VALUE AS 'Cust 24 Value'
FROM MHGROUP.PROJECTS PF
JOIN MHGROUP.PROJECT_NVPS PN ON PF.PRJ_ID = PN.PRJ_ID
JOIN MHGROUP.PROJECTS PWS ON PF.TREE_ID = PWS.PRJ_ID AND PWS.PRJ_ID <> PF.PRJ_ID
JOIN MHGROUP.DOCMASTER DWS ON DWS.DOCNUM = PWS.DOCNUM
WHERE PN.NAME = 'iMan___48'Worksite/Imanage Monitor can export a document list based on History using the History search but it’s limited in the way it can display comments as well as duplicate Document Numbers. Below is SQL of how to get this direct in SSSM
Change the WorksiteDB to your DB and APPName to your application
SELECT DISTINCT [WORKSITEDB].[MHGROUP].[DOCHISTORY].[DOCNUM]
,[WORKSITEDB].[MHGROUP].[DOCHISTORY].[VERSION]
,[WORKSITEDB].[MHGROUP].[DOCMASTER].DOCNAME
,[WORKSITEDB].[MHGROUP].[DOCMASTER].T_ALIAS
,[ACTIVITY]
,[ACTIVITY_CODE]
,[ACTIVITY_DATETIME]
,[DURATION]
,[DOCUSER]
,[APPNAME]
,[LOCATION]
, CAST([WORKSITEDB].[MHGROUP].[DOCHISTORY].[COMMENTS] AS NVARCHAR(MAX))
FROM [WORKSITEDB].[MHGROUP].[DOCHISTORY] JOIN [WORKSITEDB].[MHGROUP].[DOCMASTER] ON [WORKSITEDB].[MHGROUP].[DOCHISTORY].[DOCNUM]=[WORKSITEDB].[MHGROUP].[DOCMASTER].[DOCNUM] WHERE (APPNAME = 'APPLICATIONNAME') AND (ACTIVITY = 'Checkin')How to create a new iManage/Worksite Database
1) Create new blank Databases on an SQL / Oracle Server and create or use existing iManage user full rights
2) Add these Databases to the ODBC Sources under Administrative Tools with correct credentials ( Make sure it’s 32bit C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe )
3) Use Imanage Database Administrator to Register a new Database ( right Click on Worksite Databases and Click Register )
4) When it asks for Operating System Path , this is the file server location so point it to the file server e.g. \\imanagefilesvr\sharename
5) This creates all the tables and meta data in the table.
6) Once done open Worksite Service Manager and click the databases button
7) Choose Add Database
8) Find the ODBC Source and add a loginID and password.
9) Add indexing if needed e.g. IDOL Indexer as well as server name of indexer
10) Restart Worksite Server and check logs of connection sucessful
To configure WorkSite Indexer to index content from a new WorkSite library
1. Ensure that you have a backup of your index data.
2. Back up all WorkSite Indexer configuration files.
3. Start the Deploy Tool by running the deploy-8_5.bat file located in the
installation directory.
4. Specify a new output directory that does not overwrite any existing
configuration files.
5. Ensure that the settings that you used to deploy the WorkSite Indexer are still
shown in the Deploy Tool. If the settings are not shown, reconfigure the
Deploy Tool with the same settings that you originally used.
6. Select the Indexer tab.
7. Click Add to add another WorkSite Library. The Add Library Configuration
dialog box opens.
8. In the Add Library Configuration dialog box, type the new WorkSite database
and connection information, then click Test.
9. After the connection test has completed successfully, click OK.
10. Click Grey Cog (Regenerate configuration files). NOT Deploy ( Green Arrow)
11. When the deploy process is complete, click Done, and then close the Deploy
Tool.
12. Stop the WorkSite Indexer services. See “Stop Individual WorkSite Indexer
Services” on page 88.
13. Navigate to the output folder you specified in the Deploy Tool.
14. If you have not made any additional manual configuration changes, you can
run the _deploy_services.bat file with the new configuration files. If you
have made manual changes to the configuration files, continue with Step 15.
15. Open the following new configuration files, and compare them to the deployed
versions from Step 1.
? WorkSite Connector.cfg
? WorkSite IDOL.cfg
? Worksite ContentN.cfg (if multiple Content servers exist, you must
copy all the configuration files)
? Worksite Active Content.cfg (if applicable)
? Worksite DiffTool.cfg
? Worksite Metadata Content.cfg (if applicable)
? Worksite Workspace Content.cfg (if applicable)
Add Content Servers
WorkSite Indexer Administration Guide 149
16. After confirming all configuration parameters, replace the existing
configuration files in your deployed directories with the new versions.
17. Restart the Indexer services. Use the Index Browser to ensure that the new
index database exists, and that the Indexer starts to process files from this
new WorkSite library.
How to Add Database to Communication Server
Recently a user lost their favorites in iManage. This was due to a Preferred Database change. Below was an SQL Query you can run on the iManage database server to check where the users old favorites are and also check for Duplicates
SELECT PRJ_OWNER, PRJ_ID, PRJ_NAME, SUBTYPE FROM MHGROUP.PROJECTS
WHERE PRJ_OWNER = 'imanage username' AND SUBTYPE = 'S'
OR PRJ_OWNER = 'imanage username' AND SUBTYPE = 'F'
ORDER BY PRJ_NAMEThis will give you the PRJID for My Favorites ( F ) and My Matters ( S )
To query the folders for thoose workspaces perform the following :
SELECT PRJ_OWNER, PRJ_ID, PRJ_NAME, PRJ_DESCRIPT FROM MHGROUP.PROJECTS WHERE TREE_ID = 'PRFID'
