Hi Jim, Will blog! Thanks! Tom -----Original Message----- From: isapros-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isapros-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Harrison Sent: Saturday, May 17, 2008 5:09 PM To: 'isapros@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [isapros] Something new on ISATools.org http://isatools.org/tools/msde_bcp.zip It's a script to provide a MSDE or local-SQL ISA log export. I originally wrote it for MSIT, but other folks asked for a "less specific" version, so here it is. It will export your log data to the destination folder of your choice (local or remote). How is this different from other similar tools? 1. it uses SQL bulk copy (BCP), which is self-throtting (read: won't choke your ISA) 2. avoid the whole detach, copy, reattach (or delete) mess 3. logs all activity to %windir%\temp\msde_bcp.wsf.log 4. avoids the current or future logs to prevent contention (and thus lockdown) 5. works in a standalone or array environment 6. provides self-debugging capability (only available via Jscript; VBscript isn't nearly as self-aware). The readme gives you examples and requirements. Feel free to send me bugz, complaints, death threats, large sums in small, unmarked bills, etc. Jim
