I am been trying to setup replication on my local Developer edition copy of SQL Server 2005 SP1, but I keep running to into this unable to connect to server error within MS SQL Server Management Studio environment. I tried various connection settings under the configuration manager and things like adding entries to my host file with no luck. Understand that this requires the server name but failing at providing this for the connection to start the wizard. I am missing something simple here?

Forum,
I cannot create a Distribution Server on SQL Server 2005 SP1. When I right click on Replication and click "Configure Distribution" and hour glass appears for a minute, and then nothing happens.
I get the same result if I try to create a publication.
Any suggestions on what to do?
Thank you!

Hello,
I installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and SQL Server Management Studio Express. I am trying to set up merge replication. When I right-click the Replication folder in Object Explorer, the Configure Distribution menu item is not there. Also missing is the New - Publication menu item. All I can do is add New Subscriptions. I am logged in as admin with full priveledges. Am I missing something? Thanks!
FYI: I am running Windows XP SP2 and have installed SQL Server 2005 SP2. Thanks again...

I am trying to migrate a 2008 R2 (SP1) database with one secondary data file to a separate 2014 server using the Copy Database Wizard from the 2014 server, and connect to both SQL engines on that server. It consistently fails on step 5. I'm logging to a text file and the error I see is as follows:
InnerException-->Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.
StackTrace: at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection, Action`1 wrapCloseInAction)
I created a test database on the same 2008 server, also with a secondary data file, and it migrated flawlessly using the CDW. I am using the copy object method in all cases, and not the detach/attach method.
I would prefer to perform this without any downtime on the source (production) database.

I have a new Windows 8.1 64-bit machine onto which I have installed everything that I had on my previous Windows 7 machine. Occasionally I like to use the Copy Database Wizard in SQL 2012 to create a copy of a database on my stand-alone laptop before I begin a new stage of development on it. However, I have failed to run it successfully on my new Windows 8 laptop, despite everything apart from the operating system being identical to my Windows 7 machine, on which I never encountered a problem.
do not suggest using backup instead of the Copy Database Wizard, as if something has worked for me perfectly for 15 years I would like to know why it does not work now. The error message that I receive is shown at the end of this message.
The log-on accounts for SQL Server Agent and SQL Server Integration Services 11.0 are NT ServiceSQLSERVERAGENT and NT ServiceMsDtsServer110 respectively, as they were on my Windows 7 machine. All services are running. Why I receive the error stating, "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow" for every database that I have tried to copy, including a new database with no tables that I created to see if I still received this error. As I said, the problem relates to trying to copy databases onto the same machine on which the original database exists.
Event Name: OnError
Message: Failed to connect to server XXXXXXX.
StackTrace:Â Â Â at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ConnectionManager.Connect()
  at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.TransferObjectsTask.TransferObjectsTask.OpenConnection(Server& server, ServerProperty serverProp)
InnerException-->Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

Ok, I think this may have a simple answer. Basically I have no problems in setting up QueryString/Control/etc parameters when I use SELECT in the Configure Data Source Wizard as it prompts me for the necessary parameters. But when I try to use the Configure Data Source Wizard with an UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE it does NOT prompt me for the required parameters.Is this a bug or am I just missing something? Do I have to put them in manually or something?Thanks!

Hi,
We have replication setup on a sql server 2000. We encountered issue that the distribution agent goes down (distrib.exe stop running) in the event of network connection broken. We would like to know:
is this the expected result that the distribution agent will go down in the event of communication failure between the distribution server and subscriber server?
if not, is there a way to programmatically control and restart the agent?
Is there any sp in SQL server which can monitor the replication communication error message?
is there any sp in SQL server which can be run to restart the agent?
For the best practice, what do you think we can do to achieve an €˜event-driven€™ kind of mechanism so when an communication breaks, the agent can be restarted by the triggered event (or at least a simple way to automatically restart)?
Thanks
Bill

We are trying to import data into SQL Server 2005 from MySQL 5.0.x using DTS Wizard via MySQLOLE DB Provider developed by Cherry City Software .
We can read BLOB data from MySQL via ADO 2.7 and ADO.NET 2.0. We can also use DTS Wizard to read the data on Preview. For the test, we defined a table as tBlob (lText VARCHAR(9000)) and inserted one record with a few characters. However, DTS Wizard always fails at the executing step with the following error messages:
Error 0xc0202009: Data Flow Task: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0208265: Data Flow Task: Failed to retrieve long data for column "lText".

Error 0xc020901c: Data Flow Task: There was an error with output column "lText" (17) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (11). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0209029: Data Flow Task: The "output column "lText" (17)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "lText" (17)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.

Error 0xc0047038: Data Flow Task: The PrimeOutput method on component "Source - tblob" (1) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0047021: Data Flow Task: Thread "SourceThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047038.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0047039: Data Flow Task: Thread "WorkThread0" received a shutdown signal and is terminating. The user requested a shutdown, or an error in another thread is causing the pipeline to shutdown.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0047021: Data Flow Task: Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047039.

This could be a defect in the DTS Wizard. How do we workaround this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

On SQL Server 2005 SP2 for Publisher and Distributor on the same instance, my old snapshots are not being cleaned up.
The following error is in the agent history:
Executed as user: DomainMyUser. Could not remove directory '\vmsql01ReplDatauncPublication_TRANSACTIONAL20070702104416'. Check the security context of xp_cmdshell and close other processes that may be accessing the directory. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 20015). The step failed.
xp_cmdshell is enabled and I can run commands like :
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell ' md c:TestFolder'
The permissions to the snapshot share and file system are that DomainMyUser has full control.
I have logged into the machine as this user and can remove snapshots so it does not seem to be a permission issue.
On other machines I do not get any errors but the snapshot folder still is not cleaned up.
Any suggestion as to what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Amy

Hi,
I'm new to working with replication & I'm just starting to test some implementations. We're still using the beta, v7.00.517. and... basically nothing works, I can't even open any of the replication management features in Enterprise Manager. As soon as I select any item from the replication menu I get:
Error 208: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'msdb.dbo.MSdistributiondbs'
It's either:
A: a bug, B: something screwed up in my system databases, or C: I'm missing something really obvious.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

When setting up Replication in v. 6.5, a 'distribution' database is created, containing these tables:
MSjobs
MSjob_commands
MSjob_subscriptions
MSsubscriber_info
MSsubscriber_jobs
MSsubscriber_status
However, they cannot be accessed via the SQL Server Enterprise Manager interface like tables in other databases, at least I can't get to them. Is this a problem or a feature? I can query them to get their contents, but I'm wondering if there might be something wrong with my installation of SQL Server.
Any knowledge shared would be greatly appreciated.

I can't use the distribution database because it doesn't exist, and I can't create the distribution database because it already exists.
A failed replication set up had left a fat distribution database that caused the server CPU to peg 100% when I tried to set up a new Transactional replication (halfway through the wizard).
I removed all replication objects from SMSS, but the only thing that fixed it was deleting the distribution database with an ALTER to OFFLINE and a DROP, and restarting SQL.
Now, I'm unable to set up replication.
When I try, I get the error "Database 'distribution' does not exist. Make sure that the name is entered correctly."
In Distributor Properties, the Publisher is shown with a distribution database of 'distribution'. If I untick that, SQL asks if I want to disable the Publisher. I say yes & get the error "Database 'distribution' does not exist.'
Ok, so let's create it. In the General tab of that window I create a new Distribution database and call it 'distribution'. Then I get the error 'Could not add the distribution database 'distribution'. This distribution database already exists.
exec sp_helpdistributor shows distribution database as 'distribution'
SMSS doesn't show the distribution database at all.
How I can proceed?

We have a production SQL2K DB with publication.
I found replication stopped, distribution database was marked suspect
and log file is gowning.
I have tried using sp_resetstatus and restart server but recovery
said some IO errors reading distribution's datafile, so I guessed distribution database was totally dead.
I have handful documents telling me how to remove replication and
I am going to take that ride.
Before I do anything real,
is there any warning from you Prof people?
is there any trap I may encounter into?
is that OK to rebuild replication after I remove the dead replication?
highly appreciate for any help and comments.
thanks in advance!

I would like to use SQL Server Express with Advanced Services for both a centralized publication/distribution database and a local subscribing database for offline.
I need to configure the distribution database but do not see the "configure publishing and distribution" option while right-clicking on the Replication folder in SQL Server Management Studio Express.
How do I get that wizard to show? I do see the "New" -> "Subscription" wizard.
I am fairly new, any help would be greatly appreciated with configuring my centralized database. Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I'm a newbie. I've installed a replication between 2 NT4 servers, with SQL 6.5. My logreader tasks has crashed "Can't allocate space for objects 'syslogs' in database 'distribution' etc...". With a DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE) I can see that the log is 100% full, but I can't dump it : when I use DUMP TRAN DISTRIBUTION WITH NO_LOG, my distribution log is still 100% full. So how can I do to dump it and what can I do to prevent it from filling up ? Do I need to dump it like I do for my database but how could it work if a DUMP TRAN doesn't work ?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for the English, it's not my native language.

I have a distribution database that has grown over 50g. Distribution cleanup takes over 15 hours to run and there are always very few rows in msrepl_Commands. Usually only a few hundred. Everything is being replicated fine, but I fear a storm coming. why distribution would be so large with so few rows? Also, Ghost Cleanup has been running all week, so I'm thinking maybe the records marked for deletion aren't being deleted?

Is there any % basis (SIZE) for Distribution DB according to the size of the database?
Is it feasible to keep seperate server for Distribution Server or keeping
Publisher and distributor on same same.

SQL Server 2000 | Transactional Replication
Suspected Problem: Distribution Database Transaction Log Not Checkpointing
I have a distributor with a distribution database that keeps growing and growing (About 40 GB in 7 days). The database is using the SIMPLE recovery model but the log continues to accumulate data. I have spent time looking at articles such as: "Factors that keep log records alive" (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345414.aspx) and the one thing that stands out is the Checkpoint. I noticed that I can run a manual checkpoint and clear the log. If the log records were still active, the checkpoint would not allow the log to be truncated. This leads me to believe that the server is not properly initiating checkpoints in the Distribution database even though Recovery Model = SIMPLE and the server Recovery Interval = 0.
I found this: "FIX: Automatic checkpoints on some SQL Server 2000 databases do not run as expected" (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909369/en-us) but I suspect this is a followup to a problem that may have been introduced with SP4 (since SP4 is a requirement for the hotfix). I am running SP3a (Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.850) so I don't think that is the issue. I have several other nearly identical servers with the same version and configuration that have properly maintained log files.
SP4 is not a good option for me at this point - the next upgrade will be to SQL 2K5.
Any thoughts?
Jeff
