Concurrent Snapshot Still Locking Tables For A Long Time
Apr 5, 2006
We have transactional replication running with a seperate publisher/distributor/subscriber. I want to add a couple of articles to the publication, and then initialise them. I have added the articles and run sp_refreshsubscriptions
I now want to refresh the subscriptions. I have selected not to lock the tables on the snaphot tab of the publication properties, but whenever I run the snapshot agent it locks the application solid! Its odd, as soon as I run the snaphot agent, the phones start ringing within minutes. The application is Great Plains and I have set the snapshot agent to run nightly anyway.
Is there any way I can run the snapshot agent during working hours to refresh this one article? Once I have successfully done this, I have a number of articles want to add - but I can't lock the tables when refreshing the initial snaphot.

HI There
After upgrading my publishers to 2005 i noticed that i cannot specify not to lock tables during snapshot during publication creation, also not on publication properties, and i see sp_addpublication has no such parameter, is there no longer an option not to lock publication tables during snapshot?
Thanx

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.

Hi!
Well..
There's operable web sync with parameterized filter.
But sometimes the strange errors appear.
Below the list of the errors I got from ComErrorCollection property of MergeSynchronizationAgent instance:
ERROR: -2147199433
SOURCE: Merge Replication Provider(Web Sync Server)
TEXT: The Merge Agent was unable to start the SQL Server Agent job to generate the partitioned snapshot for this subscription. Verify that the SQL Server Agent service is running at the Distributor.
ERROR: 22022
SOURCE: HOST3MAIN
TEXT: SQLServerAgent Error: Request to run job dyn_HOST3MAIN-Customers-Main-2__20061014_14 (from User distributor_admin) refused because the job is already running from a request by User distributor_admin
ERROR: 20633
SOURCE: HOST3MAIN
TEXT: Failed to start the dynamic snapshot job. Verify that the SQLServerAgent service is running on the distributor.
ERROR: 20628
SOURCE: HOST3MAIN
TEXT: Failed to generate dynamic snapshot.
I'm sure that SQL Server Agent is running...
What is the reason and how it can be solved?
Thanks

I am using VS2005 (VB) to develop a PPC WM5.0 Program. And I am using SQLCE 3.0. My PPC Hardware is in 400MHz.
The question is when the program try to insert the first record into sdf database after each time the program started. It takes a long time. Does anyone know why and how can I fix it?
I will load the whole database into a dataset when the program start and do all the "Insert", "Update", "Delete" in this dataset and fill it into database after each action.
cn.Open()
sda = New SqlCeDataAdapter(SQL, cn) 'SQL = Select * From Table
scb = New SqlCeCommandBuilder(sda)
sda.Update(dataset)
cn.Close()
I check the sda.update(), it takes about 0.08s for filling one record into database normally. But:
1. Start the PPC Program
2. Load DB into dataset
3. Create a ONE new record in dataset
4. Fill back to DB
When I take this four steps everytime, the filling time is almost 1s or even more!
Actually, 0.08s is just a normal case. Sometimes, it still takes over 1s to filling back a dataset which only inserted one record when the program is running. (Even all inserted records are exactly the same in data jsut different in the integer key)
However, when I give up the dataset and using the following code:
cn.Open()
Dim cmd As New SqlCeCommand(SQL, cn) ' I have build the insert SQL before (Insert Into Table values(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX All field)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cn.Close()
StartTime = Environment.TickCount
I found that it is still the same that the first inserted record takes more time, but just about 0.2s. And the normal insert time is around 0.02s. It is 4 times faster!!!

Hello !
I just encountered a problem with snapshot replication or, if more detailed, with snapshot agent.
My environment consist of W2K Server (sp1) and SQL Server 7.0 (sp2)
The issue is when I create publication and then start snapshot agent for initial creation of schema and articles, it fail with the error:
"An exception occurred in the Snapshot subsystem. The step failed."
Event Log registers this error with the following message:
-------------------
"Step 2 of job --- () has caused an exception in the Snapshot subsystem and has been terminated"
-------------------
the step 2 in REPL-Snapshot job is "Run Agent"
Once more detail. The metter is that this occurs not consistently but from time to time. Some publications succeed in snapshot process but others don't. And else, if I want to manually run snapshot agent for the second time after successful completion for the first, I get the same error.
Any idea?????
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I have MS Time Seeries model using a database of over a thousand products each of which has hundreds of cases. It amazingly takes only a few minutes to finish processing the model, but when I click Mining Model Viewer to view the models, it takes many hours to show up. Once the window is open, I can choose model for different products almost instantly. Is this normal?

A few pointers would be appreciated.
I am looking at building multiple SSIS packages. There will be some similarities. Flexibility is of highest importance. The main packages will need to connect to SQL Server1 as a source and SQL Server2 as a destination to transfer over dimenion data from multiple databases. (other SSIS packages may need to use SQL Server2 as a source and SQL Server1 as a destination)
For a single dimension table containing column dim_id on the target server (SQLServer2). I need to pass the results of the following SQL and insert into SQLServer2.database.dim_table
select dim.id
from SQLServer1.database08.dim_table
union
select dim.id
from SQLServer1.database07.dim_table
union
select dim.id
from SQLServer1.database06.dim_table
Now next year the names of the databases on SQLServer1 will be database09,database08,database07!
Now so far my best thought is creating views in my destination SQL Server. So I need some way of dropping and recreating the views. Previously in DTS I would expect to see SQL Server connection that I could use as source and destination. Now I can see SQL Server destination but not source? Also How do I just use SSIS to run some SQL. i.e execute a stored procedure, drop and creat views?
Many thanks,
Ells
p.s Flexibility is the key, in the last three months all the ip and server names have changed more than once so need to be as flexible as possible.

I am wondering if it€™s possible to lock a SQL table for specific amount of time, say 5 min.
There is a particular 'Phone' table on the database that should never get locked. Yet, during the development stages we have noticed that the table gets locked at time. The issue since has been resolved to the best of our ability, but, there is still a vague chance that the table can get locked due to the multiple jobs that query the table, when we go live.
If such a situation occurs, we just want to be able flip the switch that will send the server to the mirror mode and the previously mirrored database to become the principal.
So, I just want to recreate a situation by voluntarily locking the table.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Hi all,
I have a stored procedure that is called from a VB.NET application that takes an enormously long time to execute. In the QA it only takes 10sec but in the application it takes ages. The stored procedure is as follows:
PROCEDURE NAME IS SPTOPTWENTYUSERS
SELECT TOP 20 STRUSERNAME,SUM(INTBYTESRECVD) AS INTDOWNLOAD FROM TBLISAWEBLOGS
WHERE DTELOGDATE BETWEEN @BEGINDATE AND @ENDDATE
GROUP BY STRUSERNAME
ORDER BY INTDOWNLOAD DESC
The code that runs it is as follows:
sSQLString = SPTOPTWENTYUSERS
Using cnn As New SqlConnection(GetPath)
Try
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(sSQLString, cnn)
Dim dr As SqlDataReader
With cmd
.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
.CommandTimeout = 0
.Parameters.Add("@BEGINDATE", SqlDbType.DateTime)
.Parameters.Add("@ENDDATE", SqlDbType.DateTime)
.Parameters("@BEGINDATE").Value = dtpStartDate.Value
.Parameters("@ENDDATE").Value = dtpEndDate.Value
End With
cnn.Open()
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
Any help on why this happens would be much appreciated.
thanks

I have various reports which have in the header a textbox with a time/date expression.
e.g. =Format(Now, "HH:mm on dddd, d MMMM yyyy")
These reports have a daily snapshot taken so users can look up historic versions of reports. The problem is that if the PDF renderer is used the time displayed is the time now not the time the data was generated. (If I view the snapshot in the browser the correct historic time and date is shown though.)
This is at best confusing and at worst could lead to some bad business decisions being made.
Is there any way I can get it to display the actual time and date the snapshot was generated?
I have tried replacing "Now" with "Globals!ExecutionTime" with no effect.
I have also seen a suggestion to move the header textbox into the report body and then add a new textbox to the header pointing at the textbox in the body
e.g. with Expression =ReportItems("LabelToday").Value
But this does not work either and it is still displaying the time now when viewed in PDF format.
Is there any straight forward way of doing this?
If there is no straight forward way can I somehow access the HistoryID from within Report Code so I can look up the correct value myself in the ReportServer database?
Thanks In Advance,
Martin

I have a CTE query that is used to fill in nulls on a history table. The With statement executes just fine. sub 2 seconds on 974 records, however the main query is what's turning the whole query into a turtle. I know that it's the looping that it's doing there that is causing the slow down, but I'm just not sure how to fix it. I've tried inserting it into a temp table, refactored the code a hundred times, but nothing seems to be working.
Code is below and the execution plan is attached.
Server Version: 12.0.2342.0
Enterprise: 64bit
;WITH BuildTable
AS ( SELECT [GEGTH].[ID]
, [GEGTH].[Changed By]
, CAST( [dbo].[GetWeekStarting] ([GEGTH].[Changed Date] , 2 ) AS DATE) AS WeekOf

When I login using QA to my SQL Server database, it takes 15-20 secondsto establish a connection and open a query window. Drilling into adatabase via Enterprise Manager is similar. Once the connection isestablished, the server runs plenty fast however.Can someone tell me why it could take a long time for a connection tobe established?This behavior occurs when I am local on the box.Thanks,John

I'm running a query (see below) on my development server and its taking around 45 seconds. It hosts 18 user databases ranging from 3 MB to 400 MB. The production server, which is very similar but with only 1 25 MB user database, runs the query in less than 1 second. Both servers have been running on VMWare for almost 1 year with no problems. However last week I applied SP 2 to the development server, and yesterday I applied Critical Update KB934458. The production server is still running SQL Server 2005 Standard SP 1. Other than that, both servers are identical and running Windows 2003 Server Standard SP 1. I'm not seeing this discrepancy with other queries running against user databases.

Hi all,
If I use the following query for a Dataset and the execution takes a few seconds to show results
SELECT *
FROM dbo.ICParameter
WHERE (PatientID = @ID ) AND (LogTime > DATEADD(day, -1, GETDATE()))
ORDER BY LogTime
If I replace '99010200101' with @ID and enter '99010200101' when prompted for ID, the execution takes forever. Actually I have never got any results even after waiting for 10 minutes.
Could anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It seems inserting records takes a relatively long time. My guess is it needs time to allocate disk space for the extra space needed. Assuming this is true, are there any DB settings that allow auto space allocation in bigger chunk? I am looking for something like "DB growth factor" or " Table growth factor"
Thanks for any info.

I am designing a project using C#, SQL Express and VSTO.
Every time I change something in the database XSD display i.e add a query or create a new table adapter or configure an existing query, or just move the position of an existing table adapter, Visual Studio locks intself into a never ending loop with 100% processor activity (or 50% with dual processors). It stays in this state for about 4-5 hours and then come back to life.
Is there an option that I need to disable/enable to stop the program from doing this. I will appreciate your help.

I've written a C# program which (1) Calls a SQL stored procedure which, among other things, updates a table with email information and then (2) sends the email via Outlook. This is ultimately going to be on a production server where the C# email program can be called by a number of processes.
If more than one instance of the email program is invoked at the same time, problems could occur. For instance, after the first instance updated the table it would then begin the process of creating and sending the email, but if a second instance is called at that time,it could be updating the SQL table which I think would screw up the email the first instance was creating. As a solution, I've been looking into locking tables. What I'd like to do is lock the table after it's been updated and unlock it after the email is sent. I know I can use the SLEEP function in C# so if it tries to access the table and it's locked, to wait 20 seconds or so and try again.
So how can you lock (and unlock?) a table in SQL? I'm reading about using WITH (TABLOCK) in the UPDATE query, but I'm not sure that will solve my problem. From what I can tell, TABLOCK automatically "unlocks" when the update is done. That still wouldn't resolve the issue of instance 2 updating the SQL table after instance 1 had updated it, but BEFORE instance 1 has completing creating the email (based off the data in the table).
Thanks

Hi,
I have a question regarding locking tables in transact sql.
The situation is the following:
a table named TableA which has two columns; ID and Name.
a table named IDTable which has two columns REF_ID, REF_PREFIX
in the IDTable we have the following entry:
REF_ID = 1, REF_PREFIX = 'TbA'
I have a stored procedure that will make a lot of inserts into the TableA. However there is another program that makes insert into TableA as well.
They both read from the IDTable to get which ID to use (ID of course needs to be unique).
A simplified version of the stored procedure is:
"SELECT all entries to move from another table"
"While not all entries moved"
"Get id from IDTable"
"Insert into TableA"
"Update IDTable"
"Loop"
I would like to have it like:
"SELECT all entries to move from another table"
"While not all entries moved"
"lock IDTable and TableA"
"Get id from IDTable"
"Insert into TableA"
"Update IDTable"
"unlock IDTable and TableA"
"Loop"
and thus giving the other program a change to "get in line" to use the tables but not using them at the same time.
So my questions:
1) Is this possible (if not, please explain why)?
2) How do I lock a table, I have tried "LOCK TABLE" but that just gives me syntax error?
Thank you in advance.
BR Mikael
