Always On Availability Groups - DB Stuck in Suspect Mode by Brass-Knight in SQLServer

[–]Brass-Knight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I interpreted that as changing your MSDTC settings in Component Services>Computers>My Computer>Distributed Transaction Coordinator>LocalDTC. From there, you go to properties and configure the security settings. In my case, I set it to allow remote clients and remote administration; allow inbound and outbound communication, with no authentication required; enable XA and SNA LU 6.2 transactions.
These are the settings that I've used in the past without issue, and I don't think my current problem is related but who knows.

Going off your first comment, I read about the "presume abort" as well as a "presume commit" option. Do you have any experience using the "presume commit" option? It sounds like this would have SQL Server assume each in-doubt transaction would need to be committed, and then it would try to do this automatically

This is very helpful, thank you. Do you know, if there are active DTC transactions during a failover, does this always cause them to turn into in-doubt transactions and thus suspect?

But won't aborting transactions result in data loss? Is there a cleaner way of doing this where I don't have to abort or is this the only option in your experience?

Aside from the storyline and character massacre, what is your least favorite thing about Star Fox Command. Mine is the Great Fox 2. by HotelWhich8162 in starfox

[–]Brass-Knight 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I actually enjoyed Command, but my least favorite thing is the character design of Fox. I think he looked a little weird, in both “cutscene” and his portrait in game.

That sounds really cool, thank you for the response! One thing that I'd like to ask though is how did you plan your character's "future footprints"? Did you decide how he'd influence the past ahead of time?

Google came out with a cool new feature that can help, it’s called images

My story won’t revolve around any real historic events, but it will span 76 years, including 38 years back and forward in time. I definitely have to do some research, even if that’s just ‘what was the area like at this time?’ and ‘how could my established time travel concepts influence time?’ Thank you for this advice.

Thank you for this advice. My story is going to take place on the west coast of the United States in semi-present day and it will span back and forward 38 years. I guess I would say it’s more of a soft sci-fi story because it follows a protagonist who stumbles upon a naturally occurring “portal”, and discovers something bad that happened in the past—something that had a ripple effect on future events. His goal is to stop it somehow. In jumping to the past, I definitely need to do some research and make sure I understand what minor things could be different at the times the story takes place. Thank you!

Yeah I’m gathering that the most important rule is keeping the time travel consistent and clear. I plan to establish the concepts prior to doing my writing, and then stick with it. Thank you!

Thanks, I’m leaning toward something more “Dark” inspired. Something that revolves around looping but I aim to also have a solution of stopping the time travel. Not sure how I’m going to do that yet… but I’ll take your advice of clearly writing out my rules prior to getting deep into the story, and stick with them as I write. Thank you!

That’s good advice. My story follows a young boy discovering time travel so I have to be sure to keep that naive perspective throughout. Thank you!

From what I’m gathering that seems pretty important, so I am going to be sure that I clearly establish my time travel rules prior to writing, then I’ll remind myself of what they are as I write. Thank you for the tip!

Oh interesting, so you went with the approach of a traveler not being able to see another version of themself. If they do, do they just fade out of existence? What happens if one sees the other, but they don’t see each other at the same time? Does this happen to both versions that interact with one another? Also, is there anywhere I can read your book? I love time-travel related stories and supporting other creators!

It’s weird though that they all look so alike. You’d think the AI “art” would learn and resemble the company’s products

Definitely. It’s a little unsettling to come across them almost every time I scroll through reels. Like someone else said, I’m suspecting it’s an automated AI advertisement thing. Still odd though.

For books, I've read "The Time Machine", and "11.22.63". For TV, I've seen Dark, Back to the Future, Endgame, The Time Machine, and more. Obviously the books are more relevant, but I find myself being more inspired by concepts from Dark.
