Custom Resolver For Merge Replication
Sep 7, 2006
Hi there!
I'm trying to create a custom resolver for merge replication exactly like in the MS example.
It seems to work, but only ONE time. If I change, insert or delete a
record in a table the second time, the subscriber monitor comes with
the following errors:
Error messages:
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an
indication that other memory is corrupt. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error
number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199411)
The Merge Agent encountered an error when executing code in the
'UpdateHandler' method implemented in the business logic handler
'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90COMMyResolver.dll'. Ensure
that the overridden 'UpdateHandler' method has been properly
implemented in the business logic handler. (Source: MSSQL_REPL,
Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199411)
This last error is of course dependant on my action (update, delete, insert).
My code is -exactly- like the example (I just stripped out the log message).
Does anyone know why I am "trying to read or write protected memory" ?
The thing is that I'm trying to create an application that detects if a
table changes. Is this the right way to do this anyway or are there
better solutions?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I have been evaluating merge replication, 'push' subscription on SQL Server 2014. If the default resolver is used (I refer to @article_resolver parameter of sp_addmergearticle), all seems to work as expected. However if I use "Microsoft SQL Server Subscriber Always Wins Conflict Resolver" (or any other MS standard resolver for that matter), if the Subscriber is on a different machine, the merge agent invariably gives the following error: "The process could not initialize <resolver_name>. Verify that the component is registered correctly."
This does not happen if the Subscriber is on the same machine as the Publisher and Distributor.
The problem seemed to exist in SQL Server 2008 according to some posts but it has been apparently fixed since then. I've tried the following:
- @partition_options = 0, as was suggested somewhere.
- Copied ssrpub.dll (the resolver dll) to the Subscriber machine (should not really matter as this is 'push' subscription?)
- Registered ssrpub.dll with regsvr32 on the Publisher/Distributor machine.
I've also run sp_enumcustomresolvers on the Publisher machine, and it happily showed all standard resolver, including the "Microsoft SQL Server Subscriber Always Wins Conflict Resolver".
Another thought is, I'm using SQL Server Express as the Subscriber (on the remote machine). Perhaps it does not support custom resolvers? (I'm using the full SQL Server in the 'local subscriber' variant, which does work OK as I mentioned before).
Note also that if I create a new publication via SSMS, the Resolver tab of the Article Properties dialog is empty, i.e. it does not list any resolver. The same tab contains the full list of resolvers though, if opened for an existing publication.

I have gone through BOL and various online resources including this one and I can't find any examples on how to use custom conflict resolvers to generate a result row which is a combination of the rows to be merged.
BOL says it can be done, but suitable examples are missing. I have found various posts requesting examples from up to a year ago, but can see no replies with relevant information
In particular I would like to see examples of
1) A stored procedure based custom conflict resolver
2) A business logic handler written in VB .Net
Here's hoping

Hi there,
I have created a custom conflict resolver for an article that is using Merge replication. I can register my custom resolver OK, I can change my merge article to use my new custom resolver, but when a conflict occures the replication monitor shows the following errors:
Error messages:
No signature was present in the subject.
(Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2146762496)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2146762496
The Custom Resolver Component for article 'BRANCH' does not have a valid digital signature. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147198713)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147198713
At first I thought it was because my assembly wasn't signed, so I signed it. I still get the same error.
I have various debug statements in the assembly and I can see that Initialize and HandleChangeStates gets called ok, but no other overrides.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks

Hi all,
here is the context of our problem:
- Publisher : 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:
quote:Replprov.dll , 2007/09/25 14:26:07.591, 4000, 16890, S1, ERROR: ErrNo = 0x80045017, ErrSrc = <null>, ErrType = 8, ErrStr = The schema script '

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.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I have created a custom resolver in VB .net (VS2005). The resolver works ( Both Publisher and Subscriber are SQL 2005 ), but I need to be able to debug the code within the resolver. How do I do this? I have tried a number of things without success.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers
Neil

Hi everyone,
I am working on a COM-based custom conflict resolver (vb.net) for a merge replication problem that I am having. This is what I am trying to accomplish. 1. Have a Last_Upd_Dt column. 2. When there is a conflict between publisher and subscriber on a column, the winner is the most recent date in Last_Upd_Dt and want the value for that column from that source. 3. If there is no conflict on a column and the column was updated by either the publisher or subscriber, I want to keep the change made by the publisher or the subscriber. (i.e publisher made change in col #1, subscriber made change in col #2, no conflict, the resulting row will now have the col #1 value from publisher, col # 2 will have value from subscriber. Essentially merging the changes.)
Does anyone have any examples of a COM-based Conflict Resolver that implements ICustomResolver for SQL Server 2005? Can this be done using the Business Logic Handler (examples?) ?
TIA

I am using SQL 2005 build 9.0.2227
I have a custom conflict resolver - which fires on update conflicts (using row level tracking)
I have had a couple of occasions when the resolver has failed with the following error:
"The schema of the custom Dataset object implemented in the business logic handler does not match the schema of the source Dataset object. Verify that the custom Dataset object has been correctly defined"
In both cases I found that the row for which a conflict was being handled was not a conflict at all. One was a straightforward non conflicting update at the publisher and the other was a similar update at the subscriber.
I got round the problem by temporarily using a fix version of the conflict resolver dll that either set the custom Dataset to the publisher dataset or the subscriber dataset - depending on where the update had occurred.
When the first error (publisher update) occurred - the resolver code was basing the custom dataset on the publisher dataset - which was presumably empty - so I changed the code to base the custom dataset on the subscriber dataset. The second error therefore occurred when the custom dataset was based on the subscriber dataset - which again was presumably empty
Note that the tables involved in each occasion were different and neither table is filtered.
Is there a known bug in this area?
I am considering trying to change the resolver code to identify false conflicts in order to workround the problem - but this would be difficult to test as I can't reproduce the problem

I created a stored procedure based custom conflict resolver in SQL 2005, I return the winning result set and also save that result set to a test table to compare the values. The values saved to the test table are correct but some of the values saved as the conflict winter are truncated.
Example a char(3) filed is updated at the subscriber as €˜111€™ and updated at the publisher as €˜222€™, in my custom conflict resolver if I use the value from the subscriber the conflict resolver updates the field as €™11 €˜, if I use the publisher value the conflict resolver updates the field as €™22 €˜. Now the same records is saved to the test table correctly as either €˜111€™ or €˜222€™ depending on the logic I used. So the result set has the correct values, its after the custom conflict resolver is called where the values is somehow truncated. Has anybody run into this before and what steps can I take to avoid this.
Thank you,

Hi Everyone!
Here another post on replication.
When conflict occur, I want the user to be able to select witch row to keep and witch to delete.
I've look for system stored procedure, that could help me do the resolution but I've founded nothing.
So I've thought that I could do it by hand, with UPDATE/DELETE query
Take the row in the %TABLE_NAME%_Conflict table and copy it into the real table, than delete the row.
I this the good way of doing it?
Is there any other way?
Thanks !

Hi all,
I know that adding a column using ALTER TABLE to add a column automatically allows SQLSERVER 2005 to replicate the schema changes to the subscribers, however, I would like to add a new column to an existing article that is being used for merge replication, however, I don't want this column to be replicated. Re-initialising the subscriptions is not a option. Help would be appreciated.
I am using SQLSERVER 2005 (SP1).

Very often we have 50'000+ rows which you need to pull values from different source (e.g. CityNames from citycode in Excel file). Currently we are using Lookup - but the questions is which of those 3 options is best in performance wise?

I am working on bringing our disaster recovery site to be a live site. Currently we replicate to one of out servers (server B) with merge replication (from server A). Server A also does one way transactional replication form some table to several other servers including servers at the DR site.
This setup is not going to be fast enough for what we need so I am wondering if a table is receiving merge replication will the merge updates also replicate down the transaction path??
Example...
Server B update a row and merges to Server A. With this update them replicate (via transactional) to Server C??
thanks...

SQL Server 2000 Enterprise
Hello,
I have a test publication of two tables. Both tables are supposed to use a custom update stored procedure
(you know, "Replace UPDATE commands with this stored procedure call:")
When updating Table1 the system calls my custom stored stored procedure.
Here is a small excerpt captured by the Profiler when updating Table1:
exec usp_FNLC_MSupd_Table1 'Jun 24 2005 12:00:00:000AM', NULL, 100081142, 0x01
Looks good. I see that my custom update proc was used (usp_FNLC_MSupd_Table1).
Now, when updating Table2 (Table2 is pretty identical to Table1) Profiler sends this back and the update on the subscriber fails:
exec sp_executesql N'delete from "Table2" where "Dates3ID" = @P1 insert into "Table2" values (@P2, @P3) ', N'@P1 int,@P2 int,@P3 datetime', 8, 8, 'Mar 24 2006 12:00:00:000AM'
Then..
exec sp_executesql N'insert into "Table1" values (@P1, @P2) ', N'@P1 int,@P2 datetime', 8, 'Mar 24 2006 12:00:00:000AM'
Go
This is what the distribution agent throws back:
Insert Error: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.
(Source: DFBPBSO (Data source); Error number: 213)
So, why isn't the article Table2 using my custom update proc? All I do is updates, no deletes or inserts. No matter what I do for this article, it will not use the custom update proc.
I need help, please. Thank you in advance,
L

Last weekend i disabled replication, Successfully removed Distributor and Publishor. After that try add new fileds but won't allowed me. It's give the error message. I Also found Some Conflict_tables found almost 20 tables. All system Tables. Can delete these these tables, if i delete any problem my database.

I have just installed replication on our production server to Merge Replicate with a Laptop server that will travel from time to time. I have now noticed that we cannot add or change any fields or attributes on the tables which are being replicated (which are all tables in the DB). This is a problem because we are changing and adding columns all of the time. Is there a way around this issue like shutting down the replication service or something? I have been unsuccessful in finding a way around this other than removing replication while we make changes.
Thank you in advance for any help!

Hi all,
I have a merge replication going between 4 servers. The problem is when ever I do some BCP transfer to one of the tables in one of the servers. It puts the data in that table. But that Data does not get replicated to any other server like it should.
Please Advice on what to do. Is there any option I am forgetting to set or something.
Thank you for all your time in advance.

Hi All,
I have posted this earlier and I am re-posting it simplifying what I had said.
The scenario is:
I have two sql server database instances with the same database schema and all. However, both of them have different data. I have not set them for replication at all. Now, I want to do merge replication between them such that the data between them could be syncronized.
When I do pull merge subscription I have two choices -
1.Bringing schema and data to subscriber from publisher
2.Not bringing the schema and data from publisher to subscriber.
Obviously, I chose the second choice. But upon syncronizing I dont see any data from publisher coming to subscriber and vice-versa. If I add new data to publisher and do syncronization, I can see ONLY the new data created after the replication setup in subscriber. If I add new data to subscriber and do syncronization then the new data is removed from subscriber and not propagated to publisher.
Is there any way I can make this work??

Hi everyone
SQL Server BOL says merge replication can be done in only one direction. But my understanding is Merge replication happens in both ways between publisher and subscriber.
How can i allow data movement from only wince sql ce subscribers and not from publisher running sql 2000 and win 2k.
Please reply immediately bcoz i require a solution which has to be implemented very soon.
