ASP COM and database access

Hello All,

I am currently creating a browser interface for our thick client which
was built on Visual Basic using COM ( a three tier environment). We
support environments where the SQL database server is separate from the
application server.

The problem I am facing is this.

When I try to access the database server from the ASP page through the
COM object, I get access denied. This is because the COM is running
under the IWAM account and it does not have access to the database
tables. Since this is a system account I cannot add it to the database
server which is on a different machine possible a different domain too.
When I gave anonymous access to the database server, it worked fine but
this is obvously not a solution I want. The other option is to create a
COM+ wrapper for every objects (possibly 100)which can be run under a
specific account. But this will be a huge task.
Are there any other options? Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks
SatishHi.I think this id COM fault not Database server.

Try to change access permissions using "dcomcnfg". On the Server where
IIS running.
Add IWAM account to allow access and to launch com objects.
It woks fine in my case. And i had the same situation.

ASP Code to Monitor Scheduled SQL Jobs via the web

Hi Guys,

I'm Hoping some one could help me out, I'm in need of creating a web interface to monitor scheduled SQL Jobs, both on sql 2000 & 2005.

I'm new to asp, Can anyone point me in the right direction.Really appreciate it.

Regards

This should get you started for SQL2005.

<%@. Page Language="VB" EnableTheming="False" %><%@. ImportNamespace="System.Data" %><%@. ImportNamespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><script runat="server">Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal senderAs Object,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)If Not Page.IsPostBackThen JobHistory_GridView.DataSource = FJobHistory_GridView() JobHistory_GridView.DataBind()End If End Sub Function FJobHistory_GridView()As System.Data.IDataReaderDim SelectConnAs New SqlConnection("SQL_Server_ConnectionString_With_User_That_Can_Access_MSDB_Database")Dim SelectCmdAs New SqlCommand() SelectCmd.CommandText ="msdb.dbo.sp_help_jobactivity" SelectCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure SelectCmd.Connection = SelectConn SelectConn.Open()Dim dataReaderAs IDataReader = SelectCmd.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)Return dataReaderEnd Function </script><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" ><head runat="server"> <title>SQL Job History</title></head><body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <asp:GridView ID="JobHistory_GridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="True"> </asp:GridView> </div> </form></body></html>

Thanks a mil Brad,

This will def come in handy, I'm new at this company, i've noticed that they already have a web interface set up to monitor sql jobs, at present it is setup to monitor jobs on sql 2000, I need to now get this working with sql2005, I've configured everything neccessary on the config & aspx pages. I get a connection to sql 2005, I know this because as part of the monitoring tool you are able to view proccesser info as well, I can view this information of the the sql 2005 server however it does not display the jobs. (Just Blank)

Any idea why this might be? I could post the code if that would help.

Thanks again for your assistance.

BR

Try this for the gridview instead

 <asp:GridView ID="JobHistory_GridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="session_id,job_id"> <Columns> <asp:BoundField DataField="session_id" HeaderText="session_id"ReadOnly="True" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="job_id" HeaderText="job_id"ReadOnly="True" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="job_name" HeaderText="job_name" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="run_requested_date" HeaderText="run_requested_date" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="run_requested_source" HeaderText="run_requested_source" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="queued_date" HeaderText="queued_date" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="start_execution_date" HeaderText="start_execution_date" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="last_executed_step_id" HeaderText="last_executed_step_id" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="last_executed_step_date" HeaderText="last_executed_step_date" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="stop_execution_date" HeaderText="stop_execution_date" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="next_scheduled_run_date" HeaderText="next_scheduled_run_date" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="job_history_id" HeaderText="job_history_id" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="message" HeaderText="message" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="run_status" HeaderText="run_status" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="operator_id_emailed" HeaderText="operator_id_emailed" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="operator_id_netsent" HeaderText="operator_id_netsent" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="operator_id_paged" HeaderText="operator_id_paged" /> </Columns> </asp:GridView>

If that doesnt work, post your code.
