SQL Server 2019 PolyBase Error: TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Posted by blakhani on December 10, 2019

In this blog we are sharing an issue which can be seen while querying external table created in SQL 2019 with data source pointing to SQL Server 2014. The error message which comes back is “TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host”

While working with PolyBase feature, few of our customer reported an interesting issue. They informed us that when they query large amount of data by creating an external table in SQL Server 2019 with data source as a table in SQL Server 2014, they get below error.

Msg 7320, Level 16, State 110, Line 82
Cannot execute the query "Remote Query" against OLE DB provider "MSOLEDBSQL" for linked server "(null)". 105082;Generic ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Additional error <2>: ErrorMsg: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]Communication link failure, SqlState: 08S01, NativeError: 10054.

This error doesn’t appear when:

Data source is created for SQL Server running 2016 or above.

Data set is not very big.

Here are the steps to reproduce the error:

In SQL Server 2014, create a login, create a database and then table inside it. Insert some rows. (note that I have selected column as char(5000) so that we fetch big chunk of data in each row)

USE [master]
GO
DROP LOGIN [polybaselogin]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [polybaselogin] WITH PASSWORD = N'A_Very_Strong_P@ssw0rd@123ForPolyBaseLogin',
DEFAULT_DATABASE = [master] ,DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = [us_english] ,CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF ,CHECK_POLICY = OFF
GO

ALTER SERVER ROLE [sysadmin] ADD MEMBER [polybaselogin]
GO

CREATE DATABASE [SQL2014DB]
GO
USE [SQL2014DB]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table_2014] (
     [i] [int] IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL
    ,[j] [char](5000) NULL) 
GO
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Table_2014] (j)
VALUES('Microsoft'), ('SQL'),('Server'),('2019'),('Released')

Now, create external table in SQL Server 2019. Location given in data source is IP:Port of SQL Server 2014 instance.

CREATE DATABASE SourceDB
GO
USE SourceDB
GO
CREATE DATABASE SCOPED CREDENTIAL SqlServerCredentials
WITH IDENTITY = 'polybaselogin', SECRET = 'Sysadmin@123';
GO
USE SourceDB
GO
CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE SQLServer_DestinationDB
WITH ( 
LOCATION = 'sqlserver://10.0.0.4:21433',
    CREDENTIAL = SQLServerCredentials
);
GO

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE SourceDB.[dbo].[External_Table_SQL2019_DestinationTable]
(
    [i] [int] NULL,
    [j] char(5000) NULL
)
WITH (DATA_SOURCE = [SQLServer_DestinationDB],LOCATION = N'[SQL2014DB].[dbo].[Table_2014]')
GO

At this point out setup is ready. Lets reproduce the behavior now.

If we try to query 3 rows from external table, it works fine.

If we fetch 4 rows then it fails.

-- below works
SELECT TOP 3 *
FROM [SourceDB].[dbo].[External_Table_SQL2019_DestinationTable]

-- this fails
SELECT TOP 4 *
FROM [SourceDB].[dbo].[External_Table_SQL2019_DestinationTable]

This is due to amount of data fetched by single query. Here is the workaround to overcome such behavior. We need to modify data source to use a connection option CONNECTION_OPTIONS = ‘UseDefaultEncryptionOptions=false’

First I needed to drop data source as it was used by external table. Since there is no data loss, we should be OK to drop them.

-- drop external table
USE [SourceDB]
GO
DROP EXTERNAL TABLE [dbo].[External_Table_SQL2019_DestinationTable]
GO
-- drop external data source
USE [SourceDB]
GO
DROP EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE [SQLServer_DestinationDB]
GO
-- create external data source with UseDefaultEncryptionOptions=false .
USE SourceDB
GO
CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE SQLServer_DestinationDB
WITH ( 
LOCATION = 'sqlserver://10.0.0.4:21433',
    CREDENTIAL = SQLServerCredentials,
    CONNECTION_OPTIONS = 'UseDefaultEncryptionOptions=false'
);
GO
-- create external table
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE SourceDB.[dbo].[External_Table_SQL2019_DestinationTable]
(
    [i] [int] NULL,
    [j] char(5000) NULL
)
WITH (DATA_SOURCE = [SQLServer_DestinationDB],LOCATION = N'[SQL2014DB].[dbo].[Table_2014]')
GO

Lets try to run the same query. Voilà! It works!

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Balmukund

How to fix SQL Patch Error: No valid sequence could be found for the set of updates.

Posted by blakhani on December 1, 2019

DISCLAIMER : THIS CODE AND INFORMATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Note: It is recommended to take backup of all the files before making any changes.

Recently we worked on a support case where we were having trouble installing SQL Server Patch. This was SQL Server 2016 SP2 and we were trying to install KB4524334 CU10 for SQL Server 2016 SP2. There was failure while upgrading PolyBase feature. (This can happen with other features also so same can be followed to fix them as well). The screenshot was something similar.

Let me start by explaining how do we troubleshoot installation/path failure issues. Whenever we troubleshoot SQL Server Setup/Patch related issue, we start looking at the log files to find exact error message which caused the failure. In case of patching, we first look at Summary.txt file which gives overall picture for all instances which were attempted to patch. Based on instance which had failure, we need to look at Summary file located under the instance name folder and dig further. Here is the article from online documentation:

View and Read SQL Server Setup Log Files

Lets go step by step in our scenario.

1. We looked at Summary_<MachineName>_<DateTimeStamp>.txt which is located under the folder having date-time stamp. I have highlighted important information which you need to review.

Overall summary:
Final result:                  The patch installer has failed to update the following instance: MSSQLSERVER. To determine the reason for failure, review the log files.
Exit code (Decimal):           -2068052368
Start time:                    2019-11-26 11:57:40
End time:                      2019-11-26 12:00:01
Requested action:              Patch

Instance MSSQLSERVER overall summary:
Final result:                  The patch installer has failed to update the shared features. To determine the reason for failure, review the log files.
Exit code (Decimal):           -2068052368
Start time:                    2019-11-26 11:58:49
End time:                      2019-11-26 11:59:51
Requested action:              Patch

2. We can see “Overall summary” and “Final result” which tells the instance which got failure, if any. In this case “MSSQLSERVER” which is a default instance. Below “Overall Summary” we can also see each instance overall summary.

3. Our failure was for instance MSSQLSERVER hence we need to go inside MSSQLSERVER folder and then look at Summary_<MachineName>_<DateTimeStamp>.txt file there. The information in this file would tell exact component which failed. Here are the various sections in that file and their meaning.

Overall summary:
<This section shows Action requested (like Install, Patch, Repair, EditionUpgarde etc.) and overall outcome of the setup. This would also tell if reboot is needed>

Machine Properties:
<Various Details about the machine like name, operating system, language etc.>

Product features discovered:
<This section would show details about SQL features which are already installed on this machine>

Package properties:
<This section would show information about the media which we are using to install/patch, its version, patch level etc.>

User Input Settings:
<This section would show action requested, Install, Patch, EditionUpgarde etc.>

Detailed results:
<This section would show information about each features being installed and whether it was Passed or Failed. In case of Failure, it would also so information about how to move forward>

Other sections were not relevant in this troubleshooting so ignoring them.

We know the sections and let us use the information available

Overall summary:
Final result:                  The patch installer has failed to update the shared features. To determine the reason for failure, review the log files.
Exit code (Decimal):           -2068052368
Start time:                    2019-11-26 11:58:49
End time:                      2019-11-26 11:59:51
Requested action:              Patch

Setup completed with required actions for features.
Troubleshooting information for those features:
Next step for Polybase:        Use the following information to resolve the error, and then try the setup process again.

Detailed results:
Feature:                       PolyBase Query Service for External Data
Status:                        Failed: see logs for details
Reason for failure:            An error occurred during the setup process of the feature.
Next Step:                     Use the following information to resolve the error, and then try the setup process again.
Component name:                SQL PolyBase
Component error code:          1648
Component log file:            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20191126_115725\MSSQLSERVER\sql_polybase_core_inst_Cpu64_1.log

Feature:                       Analysis Services
Status:                        Passed

Feature:                       SQL Browser
Status:                        Passed

Feature:                       SQL Writer
Status:                        Passed

Feature:                       LocalDB
Status:                        Passed

Feature:                       Setup Support Files
Status:                        Passed

From above information, we can easily understand that Polybase component had failure and other components got installed (shown as Passed). The message also points us to log which should have more details. When I opened sql_polybase_core_inst_Cpu64_1.log . The last few lines before failures are shown below.

Now the solution of the issue. If you look closely at the log file, it is referring few msp files, highlighted in blue color (39187852.msp, 6419f1dc.msp, 10894c.msp) . These files are cached version of sql_polybase_core_inst.msp files in C:\Windows\Installer folder. These files are for various previous patches applied on PolyBase feature. How would you find which MSP belongs to which patch i.e. which service pack, which CU, which KB? Fortunately there is a detailed KB available for this.

How to restore the missing Windows Installer cache files and resolve problems that occur during a SQL Server update

In the article go with “Procedure 1.b.: Use the FindSQLInstalls.vbs script” and run VBScript given. Once you run the script, open the output file and search for the msp files which are listed (highlighted by blue) in previous snippet. Here is are the relevant sections from VBScript output file. (Search for 39187852.msp)

Display Name:    Service Pack 2 for SQL Polybase (64-bit) (KB4052908)
KB Article URL: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=4052908
Install Date:    20190129
Uninstallable:   1
Patch Details:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Patches\4BAFD8A6CA3297C45B90FDC13CA985DC
PackageName:   sql_polybase_core_inst.msp
   Patch LastUsedSource: n;1;g:\c1d6c477712a2972547d\x64\setup\

    Per SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Patches\4BAFD8A6CA3297C45B90FDC13CA985DC\LocalPackage

   Package exists in the Installer cache, no actions needed.
   Package will update automatically if needed assuming that
   the LastUsedSource exists.

   Should you get errors about C:\Windows\Installer\39187852.msp or g:\c1d6c477712a2972547d\x64\setup\sql_polybase_core_inst.msp then you
   may need to manually copy missing files, if file exists replace the problem file,
   Copy and paste the following command line into an administrative command prompt.

    Copy "g:\c1d6c477712a2972547d\x64\setup\sql_polybase_core_inst.msp" C:\Windows\Installer\39187852.msp

It clearly tells this MSP is from “Service Pack 2 for SQL Polybase (64-bit) (KB4052908)”. Lets have look at one more msp output. (6419f1dc.msp)

Display Name:    Hotfix 5337 for SQL Polybase (64-bit) (KB4495256)
KB Article URL: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=4495256
Install Date:    20190605

Patch Details:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Patches\8EE0896B83D2A1246AD903269C85495A

   Package exists in the Installer cache, no actions needed.
   Package will update automatically if needed assuming that
   the LastUsedSource exists.

   Should you get errors about C:\Windows\Installer\6419f1dc.msp or G:\5645cedfa7be15cb95b0aedb1d6d05\x64\setup\sql_polybase_core_inst.msp then you
   may need to manually copy missing files, if file exists replace the problem file,
   Copy and paste the following command line into an administrative command prompt.

    Copy "G:\5645cedfa7be15cb95b0aedb1d6d05\x64\setup\sql_polybase_core_inst.msp" C:\Windows\Installer\6419f1dc.msp

It should be easy for you to identify that this one is from Hotfix 5337 for SQL Polybase (64-bit) (KB4495256)

Have a look at the file in C:\Windows\Installer folder and make a note of the size (39187852.msp, 6419f1dc.msp, 10894c.msp). Next download the KB which is mentioned in the “Display Name”. Once downloaded, extract in the path mentioned in last line, the copy command. Following above two examples, KB4052908 needs to be extracted in g:\c1d6c477712a2972547d and KB4495256 should be extracted in G:\5645cedfa7be15cb95b0aedb1d6d05. Note that this location is NOT fixed and you need to use the one in your script output. Now compare the files mentioned in last line (same copy command). Mostly you would find that at least one of the file would not be correct and that is the problem.

To fix the issue, we need to make sure that MSP file in C:\Windows\Installer is same as the one in the media.

Here is sql_polybase_core_inst_Cpu64_1.log file from another patch failure for SQL Server 2017. This one shows only one MSP instead of three which we have seen in previous logs. It all depends on which all patches have been installed previously. I would like you at analyze below file and then move further.

We were able to use VBScript to get the MSP from patch media and replaced it in C:\Windows\Installer. After that we ran patch again and it went fine.

As I have mentioned earlier, you need to be little careful while playing with the files. Always take a backup – Better safe than sorry!

SQL Server 2019 – Installation Error: An error occurred for a dependency of the feature causing the setup process for the feature to fail.

Posted by blakhani on November 8, 2019

After release of SQL Server 2019, one of our customer was trying to install SQL Server 2019 and encountered an error message. Since I was able to reproduce the issue in my lab, I contacted SSMS product group and they were kind enough to fix this issue very quickly. As of now, this is already called out in the release notes. The purpose of this blog is to show how to confirm if you are hitting the same issue. We would learn how to look at various log file and what are the error messages we need to look.

Issue Description:

Installation of SQL Server 2019 from removable media fails if SQL Server Management Studio 18.3 or earlier is installed. In my lab, I downloaded ISO from download center and mounted it. Here is the final screen shot showing installation failure.

When we click on the hyperlink on the screen, it opens up setup summary file which has this information about failed component. (Database Engine Services)

Detailed results:
Feature:                       Database Engine Services
Status:                        Failed
Reason for failure:            An error occurred for a dependency of the feature causing the setup process for the feature to fail.
Next Step:                     Use the following information to resolve the error, and then try the setup process again.

Next step is to look at Detail.txt file for any hint about dependent feature. (Search for “at Microsoft” keyword)

Target package: "E:\1033_ENU_LP\x64\setup\x64\sqlncli.msi"
InstallPackage: MsiInstallProduct returned the result code 1602.
No retry-able MSI return code detected.

From here we can see that issue is during installation of SQLNCLI (SQL Server Native Client) and error code is 1602. The log file associate is sqlncli_Cpu64_1

There we can see an interesting error : “Please insert the disk”.

If we check control panel, I already have SQL Server Native Client and mind you, this was installed when I installed SSMS 18.1.

Solution:

By now you would have understood the reason of the blog. If you are seeing messages in various logs, which are shown above, then you can conclude that you are hitting the issue due to preinstalled SSMS. Here is the screenshot from the release notes.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/sql-server-version-15-release-notes

Here are my additional notes.

We have seen this issue earlier when we have SSMS 18.3 already installed and SQL 2019 setup is invoked from ISO mounted as drive. It was combination of few situations.

SSMS 18.3 already installed AND
SQL Server 2019 Setup was running from a mounted ISO.

We have below workarounds:

On existing machines, where SSMS 18.3 or lower is already installed.

Uninstall SQL Server 2012 Native Client which got installed with SSMS. Then install SQL Server 2019. OR
Instead of running setup from mounted ISO, copy the content of media to a local drive or a network share and start setup.exe from those locations.

On new machines, where SSMS is NOT installed.

First install SQL Server 2019 and then install SSMS 18.3 OR
Install version of SSMS greater than 18.3.1 and then install SQL Server 2019

I hope this blog would help someone find solution without contacting Microsoft Product Support team. Please comment and let me know.
