Troubleshooting and Known issues with Apex SQL Tools


Trial period for ApexSQL Edit doesn't reset when new version is installed

SYMPTOMS
When I install a new version of ApexSQL Edit, instead of getting a 30-day trial period, I get 0 days. Hence, I'm not able to evaluate the product. I have not installed this version before.

RESOLUTION
Please contact sales for an evaluation extension.

User settings disappeared after updating ApexSQL Edit to the latest version

SYMPTOMS
When I updated ApexSQL Edit to the latest version, all my "User Queries", templates, and snippets disappeared.


CAUSE
After updating ApexSQL Edit to the latest version, several folders/files in application folders are replaced with the versions found in the an installation package. Information found in user queries, snippets, templates, and application layout may be overwritten.

RESOLUTION
Before installing/upgrading existing version of the ApexSQL Edit application, backup the following folders and files:

- Folders:
o Snippets
o Templates
- Files
o Replacements.xml
o SQLFormat.xml
o UserSQLFormat.xml
o Favorites.xml
o Queries.xml
o Settings.xml

All of the above can be found in the application folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\ApexSQL\ApexSQLEdit). After upgrading/re-installation, please restore the backed up files by copying them to ApexSQL Edit's application folder.

Message “Jobs object reload error”

Message “Jobs object reload error” is shown in the Manage Audit Data dialog.

CAUSE
The "Jobs object reload error" message is shown when the user account doen't have permissions to run msdb.sp_help_job and msdb.sp_help_jobhistory. This means that the EXECUTE permission was denied on the objects 'sp_help_job' and 'sp_help_jobhistory', database 'msdb', and schema 'dbo'.

RESOLUTION
Add 'execute' permission for the user to, at the very least, msdb.sp_help_job and msdb.sp_help_jobhistory.

You can run the following script from the administrator account to do this (change AUDITOR to the name of audit user).


USE MSDB;
GO

GRANT
  EXECUTE
  ON SP_HELP_JOB
TO AUDITOR
GO

GRANT
  EXECUTE
  ON SP_HELP_JOBHISTORY
TO AUDITOR
GO

How do I add a brace to a code template?

If you are using C# as output language, then you should add a space between "<" and ">".

For example, to output the following:

public class ReadOnlyBase<RequestInfo>

It must be written as:

public class ReadOnlyBase<%= "<" + ClassName %>Info>
