hi,
Im I want to configure my sqlserver 2005 server as both subscriber and distributor for transactional replication purposes.
I want to configure the sql server 2000 as the publisher.
When I try to configure the publisher in the sql 2000 server, Im not being able to establish the connection with the distributor 2005 sql server in any of the 2 possible cases.
case1-Using windows authentication- message:need to use management studio or SMO
case2-Using sql server authentication-message:authentication failed
Question:
Is it possible at all to do this? or should I make the distributor to reside in a sql 2000 server?
Hi - hoping some folks here can help me. I've got a SQL 2000, Service Pack 4 database that I need to publish, but I'm getting the following error on the exec sp_addpublication statement when I try to set up publication in Management Studio:
Msg 8526, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_addpublication, Line 802 Cannot go remote while the session is enlisted in a distributed transaction that has an active savepoint.
I also tried to set up the Publisher in Enterprise Studio, on the theory that the system sproc was not backwards compatible, and there I got this error:
Error 627: Cannot use SAVE TRANSACTION within a distributed transaction
There is one proc in the publisher's database that uses SAVE TRANSACTION, but it isn't currently being run and it isn't dependent on the table being published. Has anybody else encountered this? Any ideas about how to make this go away?
For transactional replication, are there any issues and is it even possible to have 32-bit SQL 2000 publisher and SQL 2005 64-bit distributor and subscriber? Thanks
Are there any requirements that dictate the SQL Server version for the distribution agent for a SQL 2000 publisher with a transactional push subscription to a SQL 2005 subscriber?
I'm reading the MS online docs about replication. there's something not so clear until so far.
I have one central server and 7 client servers. Sometimes new data is entered at one client server. This should be replicated (when client comes online) to the Central Server (merge replication).
Also, the other way, once the central server gets new data (that was replicated from a client), it should be again replicated to all 6 other clients (from the central server).
now, who should i configure as the distributor, publisher and subscriber?
I AM TRYING TO SET UP A DISTRIBUTOR ON SQL SERVER 2005.
THE LAST STEP WHEN I AM TRING TO CONNECT I GET THE ERROR BELOW:
“ORACLE SERVER INSTANCE 'FOOBAR' CANNOT BE ENABLED AS A PUBLISHER BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING ERROR:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: UNABLE TO RUN SQL*PLUS. MAKE CERTAIN THAT A CURRENT VERSION OF THE ORACLE CLIENT CODE IS INSTALLED AT THE DISTRIBUTOR. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, SEE SQL SERVER ERROR 21617 IN TROUBLESHOOTING ORACLE PUBLISHERS IN SQL SERVER BOOKS ONLINE. (MICROSOFT SQL SERVER, ERROR: 21617)�
RESEARCHING THE ERROR IT STATES TO MAKE SURE SQLPLUS IS SET UP CORRECTLY IN THE PATH. THE PATH IS CORRECT. TESTING SQL PLUS IT WORKS; AND I CAN ALSO CONNECT TO THE ORACLE DB IN BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE.
I am setting up  transaction replication in SQL Server 2012 with three individual servers for Distributor, Publisher, Subscriber, But I want to know how to set the folder for Snapshot agent like whether the folder should be a network shared folder or normal local folder.
I am investigating scenarios for our new replication strategy and we have 2 very powerfull machines. 1 however more powerful than the other.
The distributor will be pushing (merge) data to 40 replicas around the globe, the database is about 5GB in size and uses dynamic filtering to sort out who needs what data.
The publisher will only be working with the distributor it is not doing any other work.
I am guessing the distributor will have the majorty of the work to do in this case and should have the more powerful machine. Does anyone know if this is correct?
I have Oracle 64-bit drivers installed. I can run SQLPLUS and it works. I can create linked servers to oracle and that works also. I am having this error when I try to add oracle as a publisher. OraOLEDB.Oracle is already set to 'Allow InProces'.

Can push and pull subscriptions be configured on the publisher/distributer server?
We have server A running SQL Server 2000 configured as Publisher/Distributor and also a Push subscription (transactional replication) to Server B configured as Subscriber.
The idea was to have Server B as backup server if Server A goes down. Users will continue to update data in server B till server A is up.
Once server A is up, I want to synchronise the up-to-minuit date from Server B to Server A in the form of Transactional replication configured as "Pull Subscription" from Server A.
I am having a problem now. I cannot drop my publisher and publication because i was uninstalled the remote distibutor before i disable al lthe publication. Now the remote distibutor no longer exist.
The subscriptions will be pulled from the distributor and pushed to the subscriber. Basically, all the work will be done by the distributor (in the hope of improving performance).
Has anyone had any experience of a similar architecture? All SQL servers are running with the latest service packs.
Hello All,The setting is SQL server 7, on Windows NT.If the distributor can not access the log on the publisher database ( butsubscribers are not deleted yet), will the full backup of the publisherdatabase truncate the transaction log? My guess is, it will not truncate thelog.Can any one confirm please?Thanks,Mokles
I am not able to connect to Remote Distributor from Publisher using Administrative Link Password. I have configured the Distributor on 1 m/c and Publisher on another m/c. When i use the wizard to configure the publisher using remote distributor. I have also specified the same Admin Password link (distributor_admin) in the distributor m/c. Â I am getting the following message: Â TITLE: New Publication Wizard------------------------------ SQL Server could not connect to the Distributor using the specified password.

I want to have transactional replication setup with SQL 2000 as a publisher and SQL Express 2005 as a subscriber? Where can I get some documentation around that?
Basically, the problem I am stuck with is that while registering the subscriber in SQL2000, SQL2000 cannot recognize my SQL Express 2005 instance as a subscriber. I have tried both SQL Ent. Mgr. and sp_addsubscription.
I was wondering if it is possible to setup replication between a 2005 SQL Publisher and a 2000 SQL Subscriber? Is there any special setup steps I need?
version SQL Server 2005 SP2 table in SQL Server 2000 (80) compatibility level publication in SQL Server 2000 compatibility level - Distributor : SQL Server 2005 SP2 - Subscriber : SQL Server 2000 SP4 + hotfixes (version 8.00.2187)
There is only one article in our publication (a simple table with a GUID and a nvarchar(50) columns), and we have left the default resolver.
1 - The first synchronization of the subscription is successfully completed, and it is the same for the different updates/inserts/deletes or conflicts.
2 - Then we change the Resolver of our article by our own COM-Based Custom Resolver (developped in C# 2.0). This resolver only change the default behaviour: the subscriber always win (this is for a test, in the future we will have a complex business logic). All the synchronizations works fine and do what we want in the conflicts.
3 - We rollback the resolver to the default one... and here is the problem! The synchonizations stop to work correctly. For all of them we've got the same error:
It is no more possible to synchronize this subscription... Any remark will be helpfull cause we did not find anything on the net concerning this error.
I have a setup where I need to replicate the database which is actually subscribing from another database. The current setup is all in SQL Server 2000. I need to now setup a Distrbutor on a SQL server 2005 and publish the database using this distributor to another server on SQL server 2000.
Has anybody done this before. If yes what will I need to check. Can you please let me know :-
1) SQL Server 2000 which SP should be installed to support this enviroment.
2) SQL Server 2005 which SP should be installed to support this environment.
I'm trying to set up a transactional replication from SQl Server 2005 to SQl server 2000. The Distributor and the publisher are on our server and the subscription is supposed to be on a SQL 2000 server on a different location. Before upgrading to 2005 I didn't have problems - the replication from 2000 to 2000 was working perfectly.
After I succesfully created the distributor and the publication the first problem that I encountered was that when I tried to create the subscription it was giving me an error that I cannot use an IP to acces the server. I realized to fix that issue by creating an Alias in the SQL Server Configuration Manager for the server where I wanted to create the subscription (a push subscription).
Now when I try to add the subscriber it gives me another message "Execute permission denied on object 'sp_MS_replication_installed', database 'master', owner 'dbo'" - so I cannot create the subscriber.
The user that I use to create the subscriber on the 2000 server is dbo for the subscriber database but it doesn't have rights on the master database. Also I realized that on the 2000 server I still have the old subscription but I cannot delete it - for the same reason - no access on the master database. Before upgrading to 2005 I had the exact same rights on the 2000 server.

What if a Publication and Distribution server machine fail to work. Do I need to reinitiliaze the whole snapshot on a new machine and retransmit the data to the subscriber. Or can I make use of replication script to recreate the publication and distribution and then replicate to existing subscriber using same machine name?

I have been looking for a way to replicate data from a DB2 system running on an AIX machine. I found some information related to doing this with SQL2000, but not with 2005. Can this be done - preferably without writing our own provider.
I am receiving the following error message when trying to create a new Oracle Publisher.
Msg 21684, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_ORACheckAdminPrivileges, Line 136
The permissions associated with the administrator login for Oracle publisher 'NT02' are not sufficient.
We have added the following permissions manually (not through a role) in Oracle:
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM and DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM CREATE PROCEDURE CREATE SEQUENCE CREATE SESSION CREATE ANY TRIGGER. CREATE TABLE CREATE VIEW
And we have also tried the Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server<InstanceName>MSSQLInstalloracleadmin.sql script.
In both cases we are receiving the error message above. The only way we seem to be able to get around the error is to grant the DBA role to the replication schema user, which doesn't seem right.
Has anybody run into this problem before? How did you get around the problem?
Also is there a way to view sp_ORACheckAdminPrivileges because it's doesn't seem to be viewable anywhere in the database? This would at least let us know what it's looking for from an Oracle standpoint.
From the SSMS GUI it is possible to re-initialize one or all subscriptions to a merge publication. This is done at the publisher.
How can I achieve these operations programmatically?
In particular, how do I initialize a single merge subscription from the publisher?
I have looked at the documentation for sp_reinitmergepullsubscription but it says that this proc must be run at the subscriber - which isn't much use when subscribers are disconnected for the majority of the time
I have a large number of merge subscribers and want to reinitialize all except one
Hi,I am trying to set up a Updatable Subscriptions for TransactionalReplication with SQL 2005 (queued updating).I have a stored procedure "SYS_spShellTest" which is replicated to thesubscriber viathe replication option "Execution of the stored procedure":-------------------------------------------------------------ALTER procedure [dbo].[SYS_spShellTest] @cmd varchar(1000)WITH EXECUTE AS ownerasBEGINEXEC @result = master..xp_cmdshell @cmd, NO_OUTPUTReturn (@result)END-------------------------------------------------------------1) If I call "exec SYS_spShellTest" on the publisher the call is alsoexecuted on the subscriber.2) If I call "exec SYS_spShellTest" on the subscriber the call is NOTexecuted on the publisher.How can I make 2) work so that it is also executed on the publisherplease?Thanks a lot,Patrick
