Applying The Snapshot For Merge Rep Fails Everytime Because Connection Is Reset?
May 14, 2007
Hi guys, Im desperately hoping someone here can help me. Ive been trying to set up merge replication between 2 servers all weekend and it keeps failing. Im setting this up as follows
The Publisher/Distributor is a SQL Server 2005 machine, the database being replicated is 4gb, and the only subscriber is a SQL Server 2000 SP4 machine. I set up my publication normally, and set up the push subscription, adn set it to initialize immediately. It weill then start bulk copying and go on for about 3-4 hours before it fails and gives me the errors:
Error messages:

This is driving me crazy as I havent slept in ages trying to get this fixed. Anyone have any idea whats going on? Its always one of 2 tables so far that keep failing, ContactLog and Content, what can I do?

Hi,
i am getting the below error while applying running the Synchronization agent for the Subscriber. I have created replication topology with one central server and one subscriber. Here central server has windows server 2003 and subscriber has windows XP. Both are having SQL server 2005. After creating the merge subscriber, i am runnnig the Synchronization agent manually for the first time. While running that i am getting below error. Anybody aware of this error.

I'm trying to setup merge replication and get the following error from the snapshot agent after I've finished the 'New Publication Wizard'. This doesn't make sense to me as it is an automatic process. Also, it looks like it is complaining about a 'dbo.MSmerge_cont...' view which is a view created automatically for the merge publication.

Hi,
I'm converting a replication script from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
I am getting an error with push merge with no way to figure out what is wrong.
I've configured replication on a single XP server in SQL 2005 RTM version.
I have a push merge set up between A and B and between B and C. All 3 databases are 9.0 compatibility.
The snapshot and merge jobs for the A to B run fine with no errors, and merge replicates ok.
The snapshot for B to C fails with this message:

Love that exception message: "Data is Null" - very helpful to someone who is clairvoyant perhaps.
I checked the snapshot bcp files. The tables being merged all have data.
A sample add article command is:
exec sp_addmergearticle @publication = N'MyMerge', @article = N'Phone', @processing_order = 4, @source_owner = N'dbo', @source_object = N'Phone', @type = N'table', @description = null, @column_tracking = N'true', @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop', @creation_script = null, @schema_option = 0x000000004C42CDDF, @article_resolver = null, @subset_filterclause = null, @vertical_partition = N'false', @destination_owner = N'dbo', @verify_resolver_signature = 0, @allow_interactive_resolver = N'false', @fast_multicol_updateproc = N'true', @check_permissions = 0, @identityrangemanagementoption = N'none' ,@force_invalidate_snapshot = 1,@force_reinit_subscription = 1
If you have any ideas on how to fix this, I'd be most grateful. As it is after 6pm I probably won't read this again until morning. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi
I seem to have a strange problem when applying a snapshot when the tables in the publication have been updated while the snapshot was being generated.
Say for example there is a table called RMAReplacedItem in the publication. When the snapshot starts being applied to the subscriber, a stored procedure called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedItem_msrepl_css gets created that handles an insert if the row already exists (ie it updates the row rather than inserting it). However, after all the data has been loaded into the tables, instead of calling this procedure, it tries to call one called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedIte_msrepl_cssm - it takes the last letter of the table name and adds it to the end of the procedure name.
The worst part is that this causes the application of the snapshot to fail, but it doesnt report what the error is, and instead it just tries applying the snapshot again. The only way i have managed to find which call is failing is to run profiler against the subscriber while the snapshot is being applied and see what errors.
I have run sp_broswereplcmds and the data in there is what is applied to the subscriber - ie the wrong procedure name.
All the servers involved are running sql 2005 service pack 2. The publisher and subscriber were both upgraded from sql 2000, but the distribution server is a fresh install of sql 2005.

Hello all,
I have a unusual problem with a snapshot publication that I am having a hard time troubleshooting. The servers in question are all SQL 05 Enterprise. Here is the scenario:
Staging Server - This server acts as the publisher of the snapshot
Production Server - This server is the subscriber of the staging snapshot
Cascade Servers - These servers receive transactional updates from the production server
The staging server applies the snapshot to production successfully. From there the production server has a transactional publication which the subscribers are the cascade servers.
This model worked for a long time where we would generate the snapshot apply it to production and the updates would be sent to the cascade servers. All of a sudden there is a problem with the transactional publication from production -> cascade. There are 7-10 tables that do not receive the updates and all data in the problematic tables is truncated. The other remaining tables in the subscription receive the updates as needed. Looking at replication monitor and all other logs shows that the transactions are being replicated, but yet the 7-10 problematic tables do not contain any data. The only solution I have found for this is to recreate the entire replication model from scratch.
Any advice on how to handle this scenario? Is my model for using a transactional publication to cascade changes to a subset of servers incorrect?

I am setting up a combination of transactional and merge replicationon a very large database and do not want to apply the initial snapshotsince this would take to long. I am doing this with scripts that werepreviosly created when the database was not this big. I want to copythe publisher DB over to the Subscriber Server. Can I use theparameter @sync_type to 'none' when running the sp_addsubscription?Does anyone have any experience in doing this?Thanks in Advance for any help on this.Alan

Replication is failing while applying the snapshot as the stored procs are out of sync ( the objects referenced in the stored procedures are no more exists in the database) . Is there any easy way to identify the out of sync procedures so that I can exclude these stored procedures from the articles list. I am having around 1000 procs and is not possible to test them by executing.
Thanks in advance.

When a job fails, the right pane of EM for Jobs show a circle with a red X to the left
of the job. Thus making it easy to find problems.
Is there a way to reset the job to a status that eliminates the circle with the red X,
without successfully reruning the job?
Thanks.

We have a filtered publisher (SQL Server 2012) with several pull and push subscriptions that have been functioning fine for years.
We have just added a new pull subscriber from a remote server. We configured an alternate folder location on the subscriber (pointing to existing path on a remote server). We generated new snapshot and partitioned snapshot, and moved to subscribing server at alternate path.We're seeing a problem we've never seen before:
When the merge agent runs, it applies the schema and performs a few hundred bulk inserts, but then proceeds to 'download changes to subscriber' as though the snapshot is old (it is brand new and should have all transactions). We have never seen this before, i.e. all data is usually applied in bulk when creating a new or reinitializing an existing subscriber.
we marked the subscriber for re-initialization (from both the publishing and subscribing server) with a fresh set of snapshots. The same problem occurred.We have also tried in our test environment (which mirrors production) and the snapshot applies as expected (via bulk inserts).
(It might be relevant to note the publisher was recently upgraded in-place from 2005 to 2012.)

I am running SQL Server 2000 (clustered server) with Windows 2003. For some reason MSDTC is failing on distributed transactions. I can run code that begins and commits a transaction from query analyzer, or run a stored procedure from Query Analyzer with the same code in it and both work great, but if I call the stored procedure from a DTS job, then the job fails with the following error:
DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1, Error = -2147217900 (80040E14) Error string: The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.

I'm trying to test merge replication, but am unable to create the publication, the snapshot agent keeps failing. The error I get from replication monitor is "Script failed for Table <tablename>"
Our database has quite a few XML datatype columns, when I take out the xml columns the snapshot succeeds OK, but fails with the xml column.
I created a simple table containing a varchar column and xml column. I created this table in our database, and in Adventure Works. Was able to create a publication with this test table in the adventureworks database, but was unable to create publication with this table in our database. The snapshot failed with error "Script failed for table testtable". I removed the xml column on the test table in our database and was able to create the publication successfully. Creating a publication in the adventureworks database with an xml column has no problems, but does in our database.
Anyone have any ideas?

I was reading at the following page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsql2k/html/sql_replmergepartitioned.asp
When SQL Server accesses the data in a table, it locks the data for the duration of the process to ensure the transactional consistency of the data during the process.
I was wondering if it is possible to take advantage of snapshot isolation to allow me to avoid these locks?

We are using 2000 replication in a fairly basic way. To push tables etc outside our firewall to the webserver, to keep that data current (each night). So the server within the firewall is the Publisher and the external web server is the pushed subscriber.
The problem we have is that sometimes when the link becomes sluggish, the snapshot replication fails. Usually a Error 13, Network error.
The trouble is, by that time it has already cleared the table on the subscriber, but never managed to push up it's new replacement data.
Is this how it works? I was wondering if there was a different approach we could take, perhaps something the equivalent of wrapping it within a transaction, so it would rollback if it fails?
Thanks,
David.

I'm having issues setting up merge replication and the errors I'm getting are inconsistent but lead me to believe there is a bigger underlying issue than what they actually indicate.
Issue: unable to initialise subscriber with snapshot for merge replication. Fails for various reasons regardless of environment and setup. Previously this has deployed fine but now it is not.
Publisher is SQL 2005 (9.0.2047), Subscribers are SQLExpress or SQL Dev
The various errors I get are as follows:
These come mixed together generally...
Unable to INSERT ... cannot insert NULL into column rowguid. [This error comes up on different tables for different snapshots, including ones with no records]
bcp (Bulk Copy) error 20253
batch send failed
Unspecified error
Failed to send batch after max errors
end of file reached, terminator missing or field data incomplete
Actions I have taken so far, all to no effect:
Adjusted Agent Profile to increase timeout values and decrease packet sizes
Took new snapshots (tables where errors occured changed but still ame errors)
Created a local subscription database on the server to remove any network related issues (using merge sync over VPN)
Deleted and recreated Publication
Created second publication with different articles on same database to find same errors in different locations again
I've tried reinitializing subscriptions (before subscribers were dropped and I tried recreating) but the DROP command fails due to FK constraints so if I reinitialize any subscriptions they will fail to be applied. Have tried editing the properties to just delete data and not drop tables but that still failed.
I've tried setting up subscriber without snapshot - created publication and snapshot, backed up db, copied to subscriber and restored there. See this article: https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=689428&SiteID=1 This bloke suffered same results and the response from MS was to change the help files, not functionality. Doesn't help us dealing with subscribers via satellite AND unable to deploy snapshots...
I've checked the service pack releases to see if any issues like this are addressed and found nothing relevent.
My gut feeling is that the snapshot is not being generated correctly for some reason - system stored procedure errors perhaps.
So far my experience with replication has been good, with the odd issue or frustrating limitation in older versions, but this is really killing me...

Hello!
I'm trying to use mirroring + snapshots for reporting on a large database.
I've set up the mirrored database and created a snapshot.
Everything looks fine unil a run some queries on the snapshot.
Some queries work some don't. the error is this:
Msg 954, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
The database "test" cannot be opened. It is acting as a mirror database.
From what i can tell when he's trying to use an index for the query, the engine tries to use it from the mirror database.
eg.
this query works fine:
select top 10 * from dbo.table1
this query gives the error:
select top 10 * from dbo.table1 order by col1 desc
What's going on and how can i make this setup work?
thanks.

I'm having trouble receiving a file via FTP. I've done this before, so I'm surprised how much trouble I'm having. I'm getting the error:
[Connection manager "FTP Connection"] Error: An error occurred in the requested FTP operation. Detailed error description: The connection with the server was reset .
I've tried to FTP via Internet Explorer 6, and it works fine. I've tried going into the "FTP Connection" and putting in the password, and clicking "test connection"... works fine again.
Any ideas for me to troubleshoot? I've shut down the package and re-opened it, but to no avail.

Hi,
I posted the long version of this over on the ADO.NET framework group:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet/browse_thread/thread/51597180ec77f543/70e804505c2df829#70e804505c2df829
The short version is:
In .NET 2.0 SP1, Microsoft have deprecated the "Reset Connection" connection string API which, when set to false, stops connection pooling from calling "sp_reset_connection" on connections drawn from the pool. We need this for our DB security: we "EXECUTE AS" on connection open and since we cannot tell when it will close (passed to 3rd parties and there is no useful "closing" event), we must "REVERT" the connection next time it is drawn from pool e.g. OPENS. We must do the revert before sp_reset_connection is called or SQL Server kills the connection (security violation) - we accomplish this by keeping track of connections' SPIDs. We implemented this using EL DAAB + custom SQL provider which handled connection open event. Now it is entirely broken!
This all worked fine in .NET 2.0 RTM when we could control when sp_reset_connection was called (could delay until after revert). Now I've run out of options and will have to rewrite the entire security infrastructure. What I'd really like is a decent "closing" event on SqlConnection (statechanged will fire after close - too late!). As I asked in the full post above.. how are we expected to build scalable apps with the features that Microsoft tell us to use when they don't work together?
How can I REVERT my connection before it is sent back to the pool?
If any of this isn't clear, please see above linked post.
Many thanks,
Simon

Hi All,
I am trying to republish a database but when the static snapshot runs it fails with the error msg below.
I am using windows 2003 and sql server 2005 standard edition.
I have a database named MDS that has a publication named "LoanProducts".
I have another database named MDSNZUAT on the same server. This database subscribes to the LoanProducts Publication.
Replication succeeds from MDS->MDSNZUAT.
Once replication is complete I would like to create two publications (LoanProducts and UserData) from MDSNZUAT.
I can successfully republish MDSNZUAT LoanProducts, but when i try to generate the static snapshot for UserData i receive the error below.
2007-03-02 05:36:28.64 [0%] Preparing table '[dbo].[LoanFeeType]' for merge replication
2007-03-02 05:36:28.65 [0%] The replication agent had encountered an exception.

2007-03-02 05:36:28.65 Exception Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ReplicationAgentSqlException
2007-03-02 05:36:28.65 Exception Message: There is already an object named 'MSmerge_default_constraint_for_rowguidcol_of_1282103608' in the database.
2007-03-02 05:36:28.65 Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
2007-03-02 05:36:28.65 Message Code: 2714
If i do not replicate MDSNZUAT to MDS first (i.e. MDSNZUAT is a completely stand alone database with no prior subscriptions),
I can successfully create static snapshots for both publications (LoanProducts and Userdata)
Has anybody had any similar experiences with SQL 2005? This has worked previously with SQL 2000.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

I did a small package with only one ODBC connection (Merant 3.70 32-Bit Progess). This package runs well in Visual Studio and fails when runs by SQL Server Agent.
Configuration:
SQL Server Agent on a 32Bit server.
The ODBC connection configuration in available on System DSN on this server.
The user of Server Agent have full access (Admin).
Connect Manager Provider: ".Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider"
SQL Server version: 9.0.3042

I created a .bat file with this instruction and It's run well:

Why it's not running with SQL Server Agent???

I have a merge replication. Currently works fine. Publisher & Distributor are on the same server. I need to change the location of the alternate folder for the snapshot files.
I’ll probably just change it through the GUI, but would I use sp_changedistpublisher or sp_changemergepublication if I were scripting everything?
My real concern is the subscribers. Do I have to ‘tell’ the subscribers where the alt folder has been changed to? Do I just run sp_changemergepullsubscription on the subscribers?

Hello.
I've been having an error when downloading the snapshot agent from our Publisher.
The articles selected are all the tables and all the stored procedures.
The Subscription is created programmatically and so is the synchronization. When trying to synchronize for the first time and when the subscriber tries to download the snapshot I have the following error:
Error messages:
The schema script 'Distrito_2.sch' could not be propagated to the subscriber. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201001)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147201001
The process could not read file 'GESZifuncAFRODITE$SILVITEST_GESZIF_GESZIF20070621182845Distrito_2.sch' due to OS error 3. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL20143)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL20143
The system cannot find the path specified.
(Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL3)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL3
The snapshot folder is at c:GESZifSnapshotFolder and the unc is \AfroditeSnapshot.
I'm getting a little desperate with this because we really need to propagate the schema changes around the subscribers.
Thanks in advance,
AVD
