I AM TRYING TO SET UP A DISTRIBUTOR ON SQL SERVER 2005.
THE LAST STEP WHEN I AM TRING TO CONNECT I GET THE ERROR BELOW:
“ORACLE SERVER INSTANCE 'FOOBAR' CANNOT BE ENABLED AS A PUBLISHER BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING ERROR:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
UNABLE TO RUN SQL*PLUS. MAKE CERTAIN THAT A CURRENT VERSION OF THE ORACLE CLIENT CODE IS INSTALLED AT THE DISTRIBUTOR. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, SEE SQL SERVER ERROR 21617 IN TROUBLESHOOTING ORACLE PUBLISHERS IN SQL SERVER BOOKS ONLINE. (MICROSOFT SQL SERVER, ERROR: 21617)�
RESEARCHING THE ERROR IT STATES TO MAKE SURE SQLPLUS IS SET UP CORRECTLY IN THE PATH. THE PATH IS CORRECT. TESTING SQL PLUS IT WORKS; AND I CAN ALSO CONNECT TO THE ORACLE DB IN BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE.
I have Oracle 64-bit drivers installed. I can run SQLPLUS and it works. I can create linked servers to oracle and that works also. I am having this error when I try to add oracle as a publisher. OraOLEDB.Oracle is already set to 'Allow InProces'.
Msg 21626, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSrepl_testconnection, Line 110

I'm reading the MS online docs about replication. there's something not so clear until so far.
I have one central server and 7 client servers. Sometimes new data is entered at one client server. This should be replicated (when client comes online) to the Central Server (merge replication).
Also, the other way, once the central server gets new data (that was replicated from a client), it should be again replicated to all 6 other clients (from the central server).
now, who should i configure as the distributor, publisher and subscriber?
Hi - hoping some folks here can help me. I've got a SQL 2000, Service Pack 4 database that I need to publish, but I'm getting the following error on the exec sp_addpublication statement when I try to set up publication in Management Studio:
Msg 8526, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_addpublication, Line 802 Cannot go remote while the session is enlisted in a distributed transaction that has an active savepoint.
I also tried to set up the Publisher in Enterprise Studio, on the theory that the system sproc was not backwards compatible, and there I got this error:
Error 627: Cannot use SAVE TRANSACTION within a distributed transaction
There is one proc in the publisher's database that uses SAVE TRANSACTION, but it isn't currently being run and it isn't dependent on the table being published. Has anybody else encountered this? Any ideas about how to make this go away?
I am setting up  transaction replication in SQL Server 2012 with three individual servers for Distributor, Publisher, Subscriber, But I want to know how to set the folder for Snapshot agent like whether the folder should be a network shared folder or normal local folder.
I am investigating scenarios for our new replication strategy and we have 2 very powerfull machines. 1 however more powerful than the other.
The distributor will be pushing (merge) data to 40 replicas around the globe, the database is about 5GB in size and uses dynamic filtering to sort out who needs what data.
The publisher will only be working with the distributor it is not doing any other work.
I am guessing the distributor will have the majorty of the work to do in this case and should have the more powerful machine. Does anyone know if this is correct?
Can push and pull subscriptions be configured on the publisher/distributer server?
We have server A running SQL Server 2000 configured as Publisher/Distributor and also a Push subscription (transactional replication) to Server B configured as Subscriber.
The idea was to have Server B as backup server if Server A goes down. Users will continue to update data in server B till server A is up.
Once server A is up, I want to synchronise the up-to-minuit date from Server B to Server A in the form of Transactional replication configured as "Pull Subscription" from Server A.
I am having a problem now. I cannot drop my publisher and publication because i was uninstalled the remote distibutor before i disable al lthe publication. Now the remote distibutor no longer exist.
hi, Im I want to configure my sqlserver 2005 server as both subscriber and distributor for transactional replication purposes. I want to configure the sql server 2000 as the publisher.
When I try to configure the publisher in the sql 2000 server, Im not being able to establish the connection with the distributor 2005 sql server in any of the 2 possible cases. case1-Using windows authentication- message:need to use management studio or SMO case2-Using sql server authentication-message:authentication failed
Question: Is it possible at all to do this? or should I make the distributor to reside in a sql 2000 server?
For transactional replication, are there any issues and is it even possible to have 32-bit SQL 2000 publisher and SQL 2005 64-bit distributor and subscriber? Thanks
The subscriptions will be pulled from the distributor and pushed to the subscriber. Basically, all the work will be done by the distributor (in the hope of improving performance).
Has anyone had any experience of a similar architecture? All SQL servers are running with the latest service packs.
Hello All,The setting is SQL server 7, on Windows NT.If the distributor can not access the log on the publisher database ( butsubscribers are not deleted yet), will the full backup of the publisherdatabase truncate the transaction log? My guess is, it will not truncate thelog.Can any one confirm please?Thanks,Mokles
Are there any requirements that dictate the SQL Server version for the distribution agent for a SQL 2000 publisher with a transactional push subscription to a SQL 2005 subscriber?
I am not able to connect to Remote Distributor from Publisher using Administrative Link Password. I have configured the Distributor on 1 m/c and Publisher on another m/c. When i use the wizard to configure the publisher using remote distributor. I have also specified the same Admin Password link (distributor_admin) in the distributor m/c. Â I am getting the following message: Â TITLE: New Publication Wizard------------------------------ SQL Server could not connect to the Distributor using the specified password.

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 :

Hi,I'm trying to setup replication using SQL 2000 as the publisher and SQL 2005 as the subscriber.The problem I have is that the SQL 2000 instance is running on a non standard port 1083, so the name of the instance I'm connecting to is: TESTPC1SQL2000,1083SQL 2005 requires you to provide the "requires the actual server name" which would be "TESTPC1SQL2000" which unfortunately will not work as it's on a different port.The error message I'm getting when attempting to setup the subscription on SQL 2005 Management Studio is this:TITLE: Connect to Server------------------------------Cannot connect to TESTPC1SQL2000,1083.------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:SQL Server replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'TESTPC1SQL2000'. (Replication.Utilities)Does anyone know a workaround to this?Thanks,Andy
Oracle server cannot be enabled as a Publisher because of the following error: Additional inlonnation: Unable to connect to Oracle database server 'abc€™ using the Microsoft OLEDB provider MsDAORA.

We are going away from a 2003 Windows Server OS with SQL Server 2008 R2 to a 2012 Windows Server with 2012 SQL Server. Both the distributor and subscriber resides on 2003 Windows Server and the focus will be to migrate those databases to the 2012 SQL Server.
 We would also like to avoid sending down a new snapshot due to logic in the replication process (major headache to clean up data).  what's the best approach in moving the distributor and subscriber databases without having to run a snapshot? Â
In theory and needs testing:
1. Work with business users to get downtime
2. Stop sql apply so no new changes are going to the Oracle publisher database
3. Remove subscription, publication and distributor from current replication
4. Oracle DBA to clear out replication related objects - fresh clean slate
5. Use log shipping to apply last t-log and restore db with Keep_Replication
6. Set up new distribution, publication (keep existing object unchanged), and subscriber (without initialization) Will this work?
I am receiving the following error message when trying to create a new Oracle Publisher.
Msg 21684, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_ORACheckAdminPrivileges, Line 136
The permissions associated with the administrator login for Oracle publisher 'NT02' are not sufficient.
We have added the following permissions manually (not through a role) in Oracle:
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM and DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM CREATE PROCEDURE CREATE SEQUENCE CREATE SESSION CREATE ANY TRIGGER. CREATE TABLE CREATE VIEW
And we have also tried the Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server<InstanceName>MSSQLInstalloracleadmin.sql script.
In both cases we are receiving the error message above. The only way we seem to be able to get around the error is to grant the DBA role to the replication schema user, which doesn't seem right.
Has anybody run into this problem before? How did you get around the problem?
Also is there a way to view sp_ORACheckAdminPrivileges because it's doesn't seem to be viewable anywhere in the database? This would at least let us know what it's looking for from an Oracle standpoint.
Hi there,Is it posible to set the collation of SQL server 2005 like Oracle, which isthat objects names and column names are case-insensitive, but data issensitive;e.g:In Oracle:--create lower-case table and column namecreate table t1(c1 char(10));--Mike with upper-case Jinsert into t1 values('Mike');--follwoing I'm changing case in the table name, but it works, however'Mike' has to be with uppewr case Mselect * from T1 where c1='Mike'Above test fails in SQL server. Is there a collation which can make data'literals' sensitive, but data dictionary or the object names and columnnames case insensitive?TIA,Nasir

After migrating MSDE from sp3a to sp4 (in order to fix CE replication bug) I can't sync to MSDE. I got the following error code: [29045]->[Initializing SQL Server Reconciler has failed.] so I've looked into SQL Server CE log file and I've found the following error message:

I have a wired situation..!I set up transactional replication on one of my development server (SQL2000 Dev Edition with sp4).It is running fine without any issues and all of a sudden, i noticed inmy repication monitor tab under Publisher where I usually see thepublication is empty now.I do see the snapshot agent, log reader and distribution agent under myagents inside the replication Monitor. But its usefull to see all 3agents in one window under publisher before. What happend? Is there anyway to get that inside that monitor? Has someone encountered thissitation before? Please advise....After that I tried to create a new set of replication on differentdatabase on the same server and i dont see those either underReplication Monitor - Publishers....All it says is (No Items)....I would appreciate any help to correct this issue... Thanks in advance..
we have a table in an oracle database containing security information that is updated several times a day. the network connection into that oracle database is not always reliable. we would like to keep a copy of that table in a sql2005 database. the table will need to be refreshed 1/hr. it is a small table so performance won't be an issue.
would ssis be ideal for setting something like this up? i have never created an ssis package before (i'm an oracle dba crossing over). any pointers on how best to set this up?
I just upgraded my SQL 2000 server to SQL2005. I forked out all that money, and now it takes 4~5 seconds for a webpage to load. You can see for yourself. It's pathetic. When I ran SQL2000, i was getting instant results on any webpage. I can't find any tool to optimize the tables or databases. And when I used caused SQL Server to use 100% cpu and 500+MB of ram. I can't have this.Can anyone give me some tips as to why SQL 2005 is so slow?
