The Agent Could Not Be Started.
May 2, 2007I created a snapshot publication (the engine is SQL2005 and the compatibility is 2000).
I got this message:
"The agent could not be started.
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
SQLServerAgent Error: Request to run job REPLSM-6 (from User DOMcustuser) refused because the job has been suspended.
Changed database context to SM. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 22022)"
And when i'm trying to reinitialize the publication, I get this:
"Replication Monitor could not start the Snapshot Agent to generate a new snapshot. You must start the Snapshot Agent manually before the subscription(s) can be reinitialized..."
What can I do? Why it doesn't work?
thnx

Kill Cmd Process Started From SQL Server Agent
Apr 26, 2004Hi!
I have a small problem , but it's still a problem.
I have a SQL Server Agent job that runs a .cmd file. This CMD is logged to a textfile.
This process is locked, waiting for me to type a password, but I have nowhere to type that pass.
What I want to do is kill the process that i locking the logfile, because since the logfile is locked, the job cannot be started again (and it's a scheduled job).
The jobs status is 'Not Running'.
I have solved the problem by making the cmd write to another logfile, so the schedule will work, but the file is still locked, and I don't want to restart the server since it's a productionserver.
How to I find the process that is initialized from SQL Agent, and kill it?
Thanks!

Merge Agent Not Started - Start Synchronizing Disabled
Aug 6, 2006i'm running a SQL Server 2000 SP42000.8.00.2039, developer.
i'm trying to setup a merge replication between the default istance and a named one of the same machine, using the same domain account for both publisher and subscriber.
when it comes to "start synchronizing" (right click on the subscriber merge agent), i found it disabled, just like it is running, but it is not (the icon shows a stop sign, even refreshing.)
The state is "disactivated". When i stop sync and start it again things don't change.
If i setup a "pull" subscription, i get a sequence of a message like "interface not supported" (a translation from italian "Interfaccia non supportata"): after 10 attempts, it stops.
i cannot find this error searching in internet, could you address me?
thanks in advance!
SSIS - Process Task Exit Code 4 - Via SQL Agent Scheduled Job Only - Works If Manually Started....
Oct 10, 2007We have a Process Task component setup in a couple SSIS jobs to call a command batch file to support transfering a file via Secure FTP to other servers and the process works fine if we start the SQL Agent job manually, however when the job is started via the scheduler, it fails with an exit code of 4. Even though there is a proxy setup on the agent job, is there a different user account being invoked by the scheduler??? We're on 2005 SP1 Hotfix 1 (2153). Thanks
Some more info...have found that if we leave a login session open on the server (login is the proxy account) the process works. It appears the issue is associated with a need to render/create a command window for the command line/batch process to run in and without an active windows session it fails....would seem to be that a product setup to run on a server in a batch mode would be able to work without this...is this the case? if so, how? Thanks.
Started / Cancelled Replication 2000

I can't convince him I haven't made changes to the production database...

Aug 4, 2015I am trying to get details out of targetinstance from a WMI alert, using Token Replacement in the job step.
The alert fires properly.
The WQL query for the alert is:

However, I can't get the WMI info out from the alert - everything I've read says it's within TargetInstance, but I don't see how to use the WMI call for it. I'm specifically looking for DeviceID In the job step, I've tried multiple variations. Only the __CLASS has worked, and that's because it's not within TargetInstance.Â

DB Engine :: Server Agent Job Failing After Moving A Database
Aug 10, 2015On Saturday we moved a few databases from SQL Server 2005 to a SQL Server 2012 cluster; and as expected some jobs have been failing because of this. The Job in Question executes two stored procedures and then an SSIS package; however when I ran the Job it failed with the error
Msg 7411, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Server 'servername' is not configured for RPC
I therefore configured the Server for RPC with the following script: -
exec sp_serveroption @server='servername', @optname='rpc', @optvalue='true'
GO
But the job failed again. So I therefore reran the script with the reconfigure option: -
exec sp_serveroption @server='OCELOT7CLUST', @optname='rpc', @optvalue='true'
GO
reconfigure with override
go
But again the job failed. I then closed SSMS and reopened it and attempt to run the job again and once again it failed.This is not an issue with the Linked Server as the linked Server is connecting as sa.

View 1 Replies View RelatedReplication - Distribution Agent
May 31, 2001I seem to be having trouble with the distribution agent not doing what I want it to do. I have set up a few publications to run all the time but when I want to schedule a publication to run once a day this doesn't happen it defaults to run all the time.
Can the distrubition agent run some publications continusly and some publications scheduled?
Can anyone shed some light on this problem.
Replication And Distribution Agent
May 3, 2000Please, i need some help with the replication i had configured.
I have two publications to the same subscriber, one with data filters and other not.
The one without data filters i have test manualy. But now after i have created the other one, the log reader says that '145 transactions with 347 commands' were delivered, but the distribution agents says that 'no replicated transactions are avaiable'.
I know that have many things to be replicated, but doesn´t work.
The Sql server agent is working on the distributor.
There is something that can be causing this error ?????
Please, if someone can help me i apologize
Thanks in regards

Any Effect Of SQL Agent On REPLication?
Feb 4, 2004Hello,
What happens to these REPLication agents if SQL Agent is stopped and started:
Snapshot Agents
Merge Agents
Misc Maintenance Agents
Can the agent be stopped and started with no thought to the status of replication, or should the replication state be modified in some way before any change to the status of the Agent?
(I know REPL depends on agent, so wuestion is, can REPL simply resume or not when agent is re-started.)
Thanks.

Recover A Replication Agent?
Mar 22, 2004Hi Guys,
Ive accidently gone and deleted a snapshot agent off a working publication (tables distribution.dbo.mssnapshot_agents, msdb.dbo.sysjobs etc).
Is there a workaround to create a new snapshot agent for the publication without having to break or recreate the publication?
I have tried adding a snapshot and only to fail, can anyone help? thanks a million
---*** Tried adding a snapshot agent ***---
use publishing_database
go
-- Add snapshot job
exec sp_addpublication_snapshot @publication = N'publication_name',

@frequency_interval = 1,
@frequency_relative_interval = 1,

The publication 'publication_name' already has a Snapshot Agent defined.

Dec 9, 2002I seem to have an orphaned Distribution Agent. There is no associated Publication and the agent is sending errors. The errors would be legitimate if only I had an associated publication. I also do not have an associated Snapshot Agent.

Replication - Distribution Agent Becomes Idle
Aug 21, 2006I have been seeing this issue for several weeks now. The distribution agent will become idle even though there is activity occurring within the replicated database. If I manually start the distribution agent, it will begin retrieving the transactions. I thought that this might be due to inactivity but I have modified the inactivity threshold and I am not receiving an actual inactive agent warning. There are no warnings -- it simply sits there and does not resume sending transactions.
Any thoughts? This is a transactional replication with a distribution agent that is run at the subscriber.
Thanks,

DB Freezes When Replication Agent Cant Deliver
Feb 27, 2004Hi
We are repeatedly having the trouble of our publisher database becoming unresponsive during network problems.
We have publisher in carribean, distribution agent in canada and subscribers all over. The problem comes when publisher cant deliver to distributor due to network outages.
We are planning on moving the distributor to the carribean ultimately but that will take a while, and our application repeatedly needs to be restarted due to these freezes.
Does anyone know of this problem & possible ways to fix it in the short term (short of changing our replication topology).
is this a bug in replication?
ps.database is merge & transactional pubs. (some tables merge/some trans)
help much apprec,

Replication Distribution Agent Does Not Start
Jul 20, 2005Hi,For some magical reason, my database replication has suddenly stoppedworking. I modified the publication but the Distribution agent willnot run; the snapshot does not get applied to the subscriber, andchanges made at the publisher do not get replicated.My configuration is: Transactional Replication with a 'Pull'Subscription. The Subscriber is Updateable with Immediate UpdatesOnly. All created via the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. Both thePublisher and Subscriber are on the same server. I'm running SQLServer 2000 (8.00.760 SP3), on Windows 2000 Server (5.0 (2195)).I manually run the snapshop agent. It runs fine with the status'Succeeded' and the Last Action is 'A Snapshot of X article(s) wasgenerated'.When I look at the distribution agent, things start to get a bitconfusing in ( <SERVERNAME>/Replication Monitor/ Publishers/<SERVERNAME?>/ Publication/ Subscription), the status staysconstantly at 'Never Started'. All other columns are either blank or0. When I right click over the subscription, both Start Synchronisingand Stop Synchronising are NOT greyed out. If I click on either StartSynchronising or Stop Synchronising (absolutely) nothing happens(except the mouse turns 'busy' for a fraction of a second). There areno error messages.I added -output c:sqlout.txt -outputverboselevel 3 to thedistribution agent command. C:sqlout.txt did not get created.It worked fine up to a couple of days ago. I'm not sure exactly whatcaused the problem, as I made a few changes at the same time. Thechanges included: adding a new transactional publication, adding morearticles to an existing transaction publication, and adding a mergepublication. I've tried to go back to the set up before I made thechanges, even disabling replication and starting again from scratch.Still the problem persists.The owner of the distribution agent has dbo permissions in both thepublishing and subscribing database. Under 'Publisher and DistributorProperties' I've set the 'Replication Agent Connection to Publisher'and 'Agent Connection to the Subscriber' both to Use SQL ServerAuthentication, both with the same account that has dbo permissions inboth publishing and subscribing database.Has anybody come across this problem before? Can anybody make anysuggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.RegardsDamian HelmeIS ManagerINTEC Engineering (UK) Ltd.

Jun 27, 2007Why would you schedule a Snapshot Agent to run daily, weekly, monthly, etc. for Transactional replication when the transactions are replicated once the change is committed to the Publication database?
Does this help to replicate DDL against the Subscriber?

Agent && Replication - Missing And Missed!
Sep 21, 2006I can't believe this. MSDE was a great product and I'm sure that SQL Express is even better. The difference is that I can't migrate any of my company's applications to it because they rely on a Replication architecture (requiring Replication Publication). And SQL Agent, how are you supposed to keep the database in good shape if you can't run Maintenance Plans at scheduled intervals?
I know, there are third party products out there to compensate for the lack of the SQL Agent, but they don't solve the replication problem. Besides, the Agent still exists in other editions - it's not like it has been dropped completely. Why do we have to lose functionality and features? We have already lost the use of a second CPU and memory > 1GB. Why do they need to keep taking stuff out? Why don't they just limit access to the new feature-set?
I would rather lose the new features such as Report Server and Full Text Indexing and get the SQL Agent and Replication Publication back. I can almost understand that with a free product, they don't want to keep piliing new features in just to give them away - even though I'm sure the sale of the larger editions more than covers the R&D investment in their construction. Why can't we chose? Agent or Report Server, Replication or Full Text Indexing? I don't need some of these new features (others might), I just want the features that I used to have. Perhaps SQL 2005 setup can be made to choose 2 out of the 4 features?
Whats more, I can't even say that I'll just stick with MSDE, as it now has a limited support life. Microsoft announced that any SQL Server version prior to 2005 SP1 will NOT be supported on Vista or Longhorn Server (nor does it support anything less than Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP SP2 where MSDE does).
OK - let me get this right. We had something that has been taken away in the new version. Perhaps I don't deserve the new version if I don't pay for it - fine - I'll stick to the old one I already have. BUT wait... I can't use that on the new platforms coming out.
Are my entry-level customers going to pay for the Workgroup Edition (add AUD$1200 to my entry level edition application of AUD$1500) to replace the Replication Publisher and provide a Maintenance plan? Is anyone going to pay for the re-architecting and re-construction of my application to work around these new limitations?
I guess that will be me. Is this what happens for being loyal to MS products?
Please - give back the SQL Agent and Replication publication.
