Hi there.

I am trying to run database shipping from one server to another through a normal backup and restore TSQL. So first of all, there is linked server between PRIMARY_SERVER to STANDBY_SERVER. Also, there is a restore stored procedure in the master database in the STANDBY_SERVER. And for the job itself, there is a job that run from MASTER_SERVER that containing following steps:
1. BACKUP_to_local_disk
2. RESTORE_REMOTE_STORED_PROCEDURE_STEP (this will execute a remote stored procedure in master db on STANDBY_SERVER).

The backup step is fine butthe restore is not. I realise what wrong with it.

So My question is actually, on the STANDBY_SERVER, the database that needs to be restored is in "LOADING" state. I check the Process Info both MASTER_SERVER and SECONDARY_SERVER and nothing is related on this process. ?!?!

Correct if I am wrong if you execute a remote call for RESTORE for instance. The process should kick in the remote server (STANDYBY_SERVER), shouldn't it? I believe this will be under msdb .. or master database (running the process under)?

Thanks

are you rolling your own procedures, or are you using the already available simple log shipping scripts from the net, or from the SQL2K resource kit?

I suggest you try using this procedure http://www.sql-server-performance.com/sql_server_log_shipping.asp instead since it is know to work.
