    DataFresh, SQL 2005 & xp_cmdshell

    If you try to call PrepareDatabaseforDataFresh on Sql Server 2005, you'll get an error that looks like this:

    Msg 15501, Level 16, State 1, Procedure xp_cmdshell, Line 1
    This module has been marked OFF. Turn on 'xp_cmdshell' in order to be able to access the module.

     It's not hard to turn it on.  However DBAs at my company don't want to turn it on even on test DBs :(.

     I told them that I can turn it on by code just before I call PrepareDatabaseforDataFresh and then turn it off after.  But they don't want to hear that.

     Is there anything else I can do to create a snapshot for DataFresh?

     
    Thank you

    Sorry, xp_cmdshell is required in the current version of dataFresh. We will investigate alternative options in the future.
