Configure Replication and Retention Options for Repositories

LiteSpeed requires the following privileges and grants:

Account Requirement

User account that performs the LiteSpeed installation

Windows administrator rights and DBA privileges required to
  • Install stored procedures and extended stored procedures
  • Create databases, tables, and indexes
  • Insert, update, and delete to/from the MSDB, LiteSpeedLocal and LiteSpeedCentral databases
User account that runs the LiteSpeed UI Console

Power User privileges (or some equivalent).

NOTE: When executing a Double Click Restore, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and higher require that the Windows user account is an administrator.

SQL Server service account

Sysadmin server role privileges required to

  • Push stats to local repository
  • Back up or restore using extended stored procedures
  • Execute a scheduled job
  • Start a job manually

TIP: The SQL service account needs at least read\write access to the following directory and all its contents:
C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\LiteSpeed\SQL Server\

NOTE: SQL Server Configuration Manager should always be used when changing SQL Server service accounts.

SQL Agent service account (or a proxy account)

Windows or SQL Server accounts specified during instance configuration (Start | All Programs | Quest Software | LiteSpeed for SQL Server | Instance Configuration)

For more information, see Configure Server Instances.

If you select SQL Server authentication, the SQL Server account must have sysadmin server role privileges, while the Activity Manager service account must have the Log on as a service permission.

If you select the Windows authentication method for both the local and central repository, then the Activity Manager service account specified on the Service Account page must have the sysadmin privileges and the Log on as a service permission.

NOTE: If the central repository is located on another server, the LiteSpeed Activity Manager service account must have domain rights for two-way communication between the local and central repositories.

Windows or SQL Server account (Application Button | Repository Registration...)

For more information, see About Collecting Statistics in Repositories.

Db_owner of the central repository (required to retrieve data from the central repository)

Windows or SQL Server account (Application Button | SQL Server Registration...)

Sysadmin server role privileges required to

  • Connect to SQL Server and retrieve SQL Server properties
  • Back up or restore
  • Execute procedures, retrieve MSDB history
  • Access repositories

TSM with LiteSpeed

If using TSM, its recommended that the following line be added to the dsm.opt file used by LiteSpeed.

errorlogname "C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\LiteSpeed\SQL Server\Logs\dsierror.log"

 

Push Statistics to Central Repository

There are two options for replicating statistics to the central repository. The first option replicates the LiteSpeed activity. The second option only replicates job status, maintenance plans and log shipping information.

If you did not select to populate the central repository automatically or via a scheduled job during Instance Configuration, you can manually force a replication at any time by calling the ActivityManager.exe file from the command line or using the extended stored procedures.

NOTE: The xp_replicate_activity_statistics command is designed for sync changes between the local and central repositories. LiteSpeed does not contain information about the native backup history because it is a SQL Server native tool. You must use the [LiteSpeedLocal]..[LiteSpeed_ImportNativeHistory] procedure to import the native backup history first into the local repository.

To replicate database and LiteSpeed activity information

On the local repository server, do one of the following:

  • Execute dbo.xp_replicate_activity_statistics against the master database.
  • From the command line, change the directory until you are in the directory containing the LiteSpeed command-line utilities (Usually, C:\Program Files\Quest Software\LiteSpeed\SQL Server\Engine) and run ActivityManager.exe.

To replicate job, maintenance plans and log shipping information

On the local repository server, do one of the following:

  • Execute dbo.xp_replicate_job_statistics against the master database.
  • From the command line, change the directory until you are in the directory containing the LiteSpeed command-line utilities (Usually, C:\Program Files\Quest Software\LiteSpeed\SQL Server\Engine) and run ActivityManager.exe -GatherJobStats.
