I have got most of the way but there seems to be a permissions issue somewhere:
Before the restore everything is working fine in my target environment - target has a server login account TCMDBUser which is mapped to my tridion_cm database user TCMDBUser
My source tridion_cm database has user TCMDBUser_DEV.
After restoring the source .bak into my target TCMDBUser_DEV is orphaned.
I edit the TRUSTEES table to correct MTSUser and my admin log accounts for my target environment and run the following to fix up my orphaned database user:
sp_change_users_login #Action='update_one',
#UserNamePattern='TCMDBUser_DEV',
#LoginName='TCMDBUser'
GO
I can log back in to Tridion explorer and see the expected list of publications and can walk through the tree structure but when I come to a folder which should contain items I see nothing with error:
and the corresponding event log error is:
Unable to get list of SDL Tridion Content Manager items.

You will need to delete/drop the TCMDBUser_DEV form the DB and then create a new one with the same name and password (or reattach it to your cm DB). That should fix your problem.
I normally use the delete method with MS SQL server. I believe this occurs due to the ownership status that the TCMDBUser has on the database Schema.
When complete your TCMDBUser user should have the following permissions on your Tridion_CM database
Like Chris mentioned, I always drop the user from the database and then assign the existing TCMDBUser in SQL Server the rights to the restored database. You can drop the user with the following command (on the restored database):
EXEC sp_dropuser TCMDBUser
Then through the SQL Server - Security - Logins, you request the properties of your TCMDBUser and in the User Mapping add the following database roles: db_datareader, db_datawriter and db_ddladmin.
That's what I've always done in the past and works for me, not sure if its all required, but worth a try I guess
Try creating new user TCMDBUser in the database and run the following command
EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Update_One', 'TCMDBUser', 'TCMDBUser'

I think I have tried everything but I can't figure out how to set up an SQL Job that have a T-SQL Step that performs a SELECT on a linked server.
1) I got a Domain user mydomain\SQLJob
2) I got a SQL 2017 server 'JOBSERVER' with the SQL Agent running log on as a domain user mydomain\sv_agent (this cannot be changed). No futher rights should be given to this user either.
3) On the JOBSERVER I created a linked server
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'LINKEDSERVER'
4) mydomain\SQLJob is data reader on a database on LINKEDSERVER
5) I am able to do a SELECT * FROM LINKEDSERVER... from JOBSERVER in a regular Query Window.
On JOBSERVER I have tried
ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase SET TRUSTWORTHY ON
And then set the job to execute in MyDatabase
I have also tried
Job Step Properties > Advanced > Run as user > mydomain\SQLJob
I have tried adding mydomain\SQLJob to the linked server on JOBSERVER both with and without Impersonate
Could someone let me know what the correct steps are ?
Thanks
I found another post that stated it could not be done.
What I did instead was changing the T-SQL to a PowerShell script. Here the Run As works just fine.
I have few aspx pages and and few tables in database. Each page connects to respective table. The purpose of each page is the same, only some condition are different. When I develop I use different database for testing data and called it "Database_DEV1" to be easy to remember. Now a problem is that only one page connects to the database (Database_DEV1) with same connection string. Other pages throws error with message:
Cannot open database "Database" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'xxx'
Why does it connect to "Database" if I provided connection string that refers to Database_DEV1?
Is it possible that this kind of error may appear at all? Do I miss something? I checked connection string I provided.
It looks like page "remembers" something different for some reason. I tried simple SqlConnection class and it works, but dbml file not.
update
Problem is that that Context refers to folder:
// C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\0f053840_shadow\2edebf24\5576\App_Code.whnwybua.dll
At first, application connects using context that is declared in dbml. But when I do some actions it tries to connect using context which refers to dll file I described above. Why is that?
I have 2 databases in one server, a Web App db containing XPages only, and another database containing documents. When I tried to open a document in Xpage, an error appears saying that I don't have access to the document (I did a checking using db.queryAccess(myUserName) and found out that I don't have access to the document database, even though my user name is specified directly as Manager). I created a new copy of the document database, then points my web app db to that. Here I have access to the documents! I had implemented this before and this is the first time I had this problem. What are the probable problem(s) with my original document database? I already did a fixup and compacting, but to no avail. Please help me... Thanks!
Please check the the "Maximum Internet name and password" option in the ACL settings. This option overrides every ACL entry: If you are Manager but the option is set to "No Access" - you have no access.
I've specified the user of my application pool to be SERVER4\IUSR_SERVER4. And then I added this user to the SQL Server. But when I try to connect to the database I get the following error:
Server Error in '/BSHHD' Application.
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user 'SERVER4\Administrator'.
What's driving me mad is there's no user named SERVER4\Administrator. What do I have to do in order to be able to properly connect to this SQL Server database from my website?
P.S. I think this is related with Membership authentication. Now I need to find out how Membership accesses SQL Server and where the login credentials are specified
The thing is, the app pool user is not necessarily the user you use to connect to MSSQL (as a guy in the comments already stated). After seeing your connection string, this is probably the case, and maybe, just maybe, the problem is not the user but it's default database.
I've had this error in the past: Try setting the user you use in the connection string (clerk's) default database to something else. This error is common when you've set a default database for a user before and now the database doesn't exist anymore or is having some problems.
You can change the user's default database using something like this:
Exec sp_defaultdb #loginame='clerk', #defdb='dok'
You can also use something like this but I've never used it:
ALTER LOGIN SQLLogin WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = AvailDBName
Also, there's no need to set the integrated security to false because it is the default value already. I hope this helps =)
I have a ASP.NET web application which does some changes on a table in SQL Server 2008 R2.
On this table there is a trigger that does updates on another table in another database on the same database server.
When saving the changes I'm having the following error:
- The error message: The underlying provider failed on Commit.
- InnerException: This SqlTransaction has completed; it is no longer usable.
Also allowing the database user to connect to the other database isn't working.
Somebody knows how I can make this work?
The trigger is not related to Entity Framework.
The trigger fires when changes are made to the table irrespective of where that change came from.
This is probably a rights issue, the system is attempting to make the change to the second database with the security context that was used to connect to the first database. It the change that was caused by the trigger fails, then everything in the same transaction will fail.
Since you are accessing 2 databases in a transaction, you are using MSDTC, make sure that it is started and that you have rights to it.
