Can Not Delet A Publication In SQL Server 2005: The Publication Does Not Exist [SQL Server Error: 20026]
Sep 21, 2007
Hi, everyone,
I am new in SQL server 2005. I had setup SQL server 2005 P2P replication. Somehow it did not work one of two way replication. I tried to delete the publication. However I could not do it. have the same problem. When I tried to delete the publication, I got the publication " " does not exist.[SQL server error: 20026]. I tried to use sp_droppublication, it gave me error "the database is not enabled for publication". Nevertheless, I can see the publication in MS SQL Management Studio and Publication monitor with OK status. I could not find the distribution database either.
Could you anyone has ideas to delete this publication? I am sorry I am not a programmer. Please give me more detail explanation if you can. Thanks.
I had a publication that I removed from the Local Publications folder but it still shows up in Replication Monitor (with a red 'X'). No jobs exist related to this publication either.
Everything is working ok, but I can't get rid of this from the Replication monitor.
I've recently gone through installing and setting up merge replication on Server 2005 Standard. All working.
I am now setting up a different box with SQL 2005 Workgroup with SP2. When I go to the Replication tab in Management Studio there is only Local Subscriptions - No Local Publications.
I've re-run the installation but I can't see how Publications is not getting installed orwhy it is missing.
I found a bug in Management Studio, which can be reproduced with following steps:
1. Create a new publication with the 'New Publication Wizard' 2. Select a database which contains at least 2 tables. 3. Select 'transactional publicatioon' 4. Select at least 2 tables as articles 5. Set article properties for all table articles 6. Change 'Statement Delivery' to 'Insert statement', 'Update statement' and 'Delete statement' and save the article properties. 7. If you now check the properties for a single article you find that the 'Statement Delivery' is set to 'Do not replicate...'. If you generate this publication and create a subscritpion you will see, that actual no replication take place.
It took me a while to find out why my replication doesn't work! :-((
Subscription to "Transactional Publication with Updateable Subscriptions" works only one way. Changes take effect on subscriber, but the subcriber is unable to update data on publisher.
I have Sanpshot Agent process running under SQL Server Agent service account with login 'sa.' All agents are running at the Distributor (Publishing Server.)
The subscriber is unable to connect to the Distributor using the SQL Server login.
Following is the error message I get:
Creating Subscription(s)...
- Creating subscription for 'SQL3' (Warning)

Unable to set the Publisher login for the updatable subscription. You may have to set this up directly on the Subscriber machine using sp_link_publication. (New Subscription Wizard)
First of all; My Oracle publication works fine when I don't explicit specify the shema_option parameter for the articles I'm adding to the publication. The reason why I then want to explicit specify the parameter is as following.
I'm developing a replication solution to get data from our production server (Oracle) to our Data Warehouse (SQL Server). The SQL Server (and the Data Warehouse code) uses the SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation. When I don't explicit specify the schema_option, the nvarchar columns of the replicated tables are created using the SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS collation and this results in some comparison errors, when for instance a select statement is trying to compare two nvarchar strings using different collations.
I've tried to specify the schema_option parameter as "@schema_option = 0x80" (Replicates primary key constraints.) to avoid the use of the SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS collation when creating the destination tables - I'm not sure it's enough? No matter what, I'm getting an error when I'm doing it (see below).
Message 2006-07-13 12:00:15.529 Applied script 'ITEMTRANSLATION_2.sch' 2006-07-13 12:00:15.544 Bulk copying data into table 'ITEMTRANSLATION' 2006-07-13 12:00:15.544 Agent message code 20037.

The questions are now whether I actually have a schema_option alternative for Oracle Publishing? If so, what is the solution, and eventually how can I avoid the error stated above?
If I'm not able to avoid the article columns getting created with the "wrong" collation, is there then any other obviously solution to the problem?
We have to add some hardware and I was wondering if someone could provide a stepwise tip to do it .
It is a 3 Server Environment Pub/Dist/Sub All three running under SQL2K Here is what I am planning.
a. Uncheck the Enable in Distributed Agent for each replication b. Wait for all replications to complete c. Shut down Publisher ? Or do I have to do something else before that.
using publication from server one to server two. On server one, I have several directories with bcp files. Can the older files and directories be deleted?
I have transactional replication configured where the publisher and subscriber are on two different servers. Yesterday a database upgrade was carried out, and the DBA dropped replication by issuing sp_removedbreplication on the published database. The subscription is still set up.
I have two questions:
1 - What is the safest way to temporarily switch off replication without losing the publication or subscription? As far as I was aware (my replication knowledge isn't great), simply disabling the relevant agents would do the job.
2 - I now have the task of creating the publication again (fortunately we have a saved script). If I recreate this publication, will I be able to point the existing subscription at it?
Hi, I disabled a merge publication on my server. I then ran sp_removedbreplication to clean the system tables. Thats fine. When I recreate a new publication on my server now, I still get the red x on my publisher node in my replcation monitor from the error I was getting before. Evenm though this publication is error free. Is it saving an srror flag in one of the sytem tabbles
I am trying to setup publishing on SQL Server 2000 Enterprise. I will be subscribing from a SQL Mobile 2005 database so I have installed the SQL Server 2000 SP3a Replication Components, .NET Framework 2.0, and the SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Server Tools.
I was able to go through the 2005 Mobile Web Synchronization Wizard with no problems. However, when I try to run the Configure Publishing and Distribution Wizard, I get the following message at the end:
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not configure 'GISSERV' as the Distributor for 'GISSERV' Error 14114: '(null)' is not configured as a Distributor.
The first option I choose is Make 'GISSERV' it's own Distributor. Then, I select the snapshot folder that I shared. And on the third screen, I've tried going with the standard default settings and customizing those settings.
Has anyone else come across this error? Is there anyone else out there replicating from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 Mobile?
Hi all, when I create publication with New Publication Wizard. I get the following errors. Did someone meet this before? Can you help me? Thanks!

I have automated process, which synchronizes a transactional publication using initialize from backup approach. It drops subscriptions and puts them back again once the restore on the subscriber is completed.
Dropping the subscriptions causes a lot of blocking and deadlocking. I've decided to remove those steps, but it causes loss of data on the subscriber.
Is it a must to drop and re-create the subscriptions during such process? If not, how can I avoid the loss of data?
We have restored a database on new server without keeping replication settings. Now while creating the publication no tables are shown in new publication wizard window. In fact we have hundred of tables in database and included in replication on source server from where backup was taken.
What may be the reason that tables are not appearing?
When running the create publication wizard, I get:
"Error 14294 - Supply either @Job_id or @Job_Name to identify the job"
I had pubs & subs set up, but things were erroring, so I tried deleting everything and wanted to start from scratch, but the last step in the wizard gets me stuck.
Is it ok to clear the tables in the Distribution database that have info from earlier attempts at setting things up ?
Is there a way to delete the distribution database & really start from scratch ?
have upgraded to SQL Server 2005 from 2000 ( to 9.0.1399).
The database seems to be functioning in order, however - I am unable to crerate a publication in order to replciate the database.
I am using the New Publication Wizard and see the follwoing error:

I have three publications on a dev server. All are sql 2005 merge replication (push) with replication running to subscribers on the same instance of sql server (note this is just dev testing).
However, I have just marked one for re-initialisation / create new snapshot / don't upload changes but when I kick off the synchronisation it says it has insufficient permission to run the snapshot.
When I do this for the other two there is no problem.
SQLAgent is running (using LocalSystem) so I don't know why my reinitialisation won't work.

I'm in a middle of a project where replication established between Oracle 8i and SQL server 2005. Now we need to drop one column from on of the tables replicated from Oracle side. My question : Is there anyway I can do this in Oracle and automatically reflected on SQL server? If not what is the proper steps to do it. Realy appreciate your fast response.
I'm trying to link SQL Server 2000 sp3 to SQL 2005 64 bit. I keep getting Error 17 sql server does not exist or access denined. I tried adding remote user mapping and chaning the linked server properties to "Be made using this security context" without any success. Any help is appreciated.
Hi everyone In my SqlServer Management Studio Express, on start up it shows the server type option, but greyed.So that value is fixed to database engine. ( I'm trying to work on an SqlServer Compact Edition database through the SSMStudiothat's why I'm trying to get this to change.)Besides, after I connect i go to the Object Explorer, expand the server node, and go to Replication.When i expand replication, i get the "Local Subscription" option, but nothng for Publication.( I want to work on Merge Replication, that's why I desparately need Publication to work)Am i missing something here? I did not install SqlServer separately, I only have what comes bundled with the Visual Studio 2005 Setup.
I am trying to make an oracle publiching from sql server 2005 enterprise final release, i installed the oracle client 10.2 (10g) on the same server where sql server already installed, i made different connection to oracle database instance and it was ok.

the oracle publisher is displayed in the list of publisher but when press ok i got the following error :

I have a strange error, when I try to create publication
Msg 3933, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSrepl_addpublication, Line 1222 Cannot promote the transaction to a distributed transaction because there is an active save point in this transaction.
What is it?
P. S. The error arise with all types of replication.
I have a problem with a publication which is a transactional replication on SQL Server 7.0 . I want to add stored procedure to the existing publication along with the tables . But the Enterprise manager does not allow to select or check the box against the required stored procedure although it displays when i right click on the publication and select proeprties .
Can i have some help in this regard ? Does anybody knows to add a stored procedure by means of a query .
Is there any other way to modify publication in SQL Server 7.0 although it is possible in SQL Server 2000 .?
Because of problems trying to alter databases used for replication my software would need to find out if a database is a publisher or was repliated (using T-SQL). Is this possible?
i had configured a merge replication betwen 2 server and i was running fine. but due to network problems my network admin has changed the ip address and name of the publisher, distributor and subscriber.
what i did. i just drop the publication and now i m trying to create a new one. but i cannt' able to create. i dont' know y.. this is the error i m facing..

I have been wrestling with this one all day and cannot find anything on MSDN, google, etc.... I have configured replication, but cannot create a new publication either programmatically or using the wizard. I programmatically did the following: 1. I set up my local server as a distributor, and created a distribution database (@distributor set to server sysname) execute sp_adddistributor @distributor = @distributor execute sp_adddistributiondb @database = @distributionDB, @security_mode=1; 2. I registered my local server also as a Publisher (@publisher set to server sysname, @distribution = 'distributor') SELECT @sql = 'sp_adddistpublisher @publisher = ''' + @publisher + ''', @distribution_db = ''' + @distributionDB + ''', @working_directory = ''' + @directory + ''', @security_mode = 1' SELECT @sp_executesql = quotename(@distributionDB) + '..sp_executesql ' EXEC @sp_executesql @sql 3. I enabled my local database for transactional replication (@replicationDB) exec sp_replicationdboption @dbname = @replicationDB, @optname = 'publish', @value = 'true 4. I added a logReaderAgent on the ReplicationDB SELECT @sql = 'sp_addlogreader_agent @publisher_security_mode = 1' SELECT @sp_executesql = quotename(@replicationDB) + '..sp_executesql EXEC @sp_executesql @sql
All is well up to this point, no problems, all looks great. When I check the status of things using sp_help repl stored procedures to check on publisher, distributor all looks healthy. Also looks good when I use the SSMS replication interface to check on distributor, publisher, etc. . HOWEVER...... I cannot create any publications.
I tried programmatically, and also by using the wizard. I keep getting the same error :'Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'pubid', table'. This is the sql I try to run: EXEC sp_addpublication @publication = 'test3333', @status = N'active', @allow_push = N'true', @allow_pull = N'true' This is the error: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_MSrepl_addpublication, Line 1320 Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'pubid', table 'CypressMaster.dbo.IHpublications'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated. Msg 14018, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSrepl_addpublication, Line 1348 Could not create the publication. If I use the wizard instead of trying to create the publication programmatically, I get this error (just about the same content, but a little different wording): Creating Publication - Creating Publication 'NewPublication' (Error) Messages * SQL Server could not create publication 'NewPublication'.

hi I was following the walkthrough "Creating a Mobile Application with SQL Server Mobile" and when I got to the point where you create a "local publication" I couldn't find the link "Local Publication" in my Object Explorer.
I read all the help in books online however id did not tell me how to bring that link there.
I did install the replication component using the CD installation. I have SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and Visual Studio 2005
I also found the help "Using the Publication Wizard to Create a Publication" but did not know where to locate or start the wizard.
