IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.

SYMPTOMS

Site updates and MIF files fail to process and there may be a problem with options set on the tempdb database.

The following error may be included in the Dataloader log file if you have SQL tracing enabled:

SQL>>>>> You cannot run SELECT INTO in this database. The DBO would have to run sp_dboption to enable this option.

CAUSE

The problem can occur when the Select Into/Bulk Copy option on the tempdb database is not selected. Systems Management Server requires that the Select Into/Bulk Copy option be selected for it to function.

Please note that the Select Into/Bulk Copy option is a default selection for the tempdb database.

RESOLUTION

you can correct the problem by performing the following steps:

Start SQL Enterprise Manager.
Click Databases on the Manage menu.
Double-click tempdb.
Click the Options tab.
Click Select Into/Bulk Copy and click OK.
Stop and restart the MSSQLServer service.
