When running the create publication wizard, I get:
"Error 14294 - Supply either @Job_id or @Job_Name to identify the job"
I had pubs & subs set up, but things were erroring, so I tried deleting everything and wanted to start from scratch, but the last step in the wizard gets me stuck.
Is it ok to clear the tables in the Distribution database that have info from earlier attempts at setting things up ?
Is there a way to delete the distribution database & really start from scratch ?
Hi, everyone, I am new in SQL server 2005. I had setup SQL server 2005 P2P replication. Somehow it did not work one of two way replication. I tried to delete the publication. However I could not do it. have the same problem. When I tried to delete the publication, I got the publication " " does not exist.[SQL server error: 20026]. I tried to use sp_droppublication, it gave me error "the database is not enabled for publication". Nevertheless, I can see the publication in MS SQL Management Studio and Publication monitor with OK status. I could not find the distribution database either.
Could you anyone has ideas to delete this publication? I am sorry I am not a programmer. Please give me more detail explanation if you can. Thanks.
i had configured a merge replication betwen 2 server and i was running fine. but due to network problems my network admin has changed the ip address and name of the publisher, distributor and subscriber.
what i did. i just drop the publication and now i m trying to create a new one. but i cannt' able to create. i dont' know y.. this is the error i m facing..

When go to set up a new publication I get the below error:

I am specfing the server name but it still brings back the same error, the message at the bottom also stats to try and connect to '' which of course is impossible. This is a domain controller if that makes any difference, SQL 2005 SP2, Win 2003 STD.
After upgrading SQL Server 2005 with the recent service pack, I am unable to create a publication. When I right-click on [INSTANCE]/Replication/Local Publications and select "New Publication...," the mouse cursor turns into an hourglass, but the wizard never shows up, nor is any error displayed.
There is a logged error that's been showing up that may or may not be related. The error message is "Replication-(null): agent (null) scheduled for retry. Could not clean up the distribution history tables."
Any ideas on how we can restore replication functionality on our SQL Server instance?
Hi,I am trying to use Enterprise Manager Wizard to create a newPublication database but I got the following message.Error 2812: Could not find stored procedureMyDB.dbo.sp_MSadd_logreader_agentThere seems that some replication stored procedures.Any help?Thanks in Advance
have upgraded to SQL Server 2005 from 2000 ( to 9.0.1399).
The database seems to be functioning in order, however - I am unable to crerate a publication in order to replciate the database.
I am using the New Publication Wizard and see the follwoing error:

I have three publications on a dev server. All are sql 2005 merge replication (push) with replication running to subscribers on the same instance of sql server (note this is just dev testing).
However, I have just marked one for re-initialisation / create new snapshot / don't upload changes but when I kick off the synchronisation it says it has insufficient permission to run the snapshot.
When I do this for the other two there is no problem.
SQLAgent is running (using LocalSystem) so I don't know why my reinitialisation won't work.
I re-created a publication that was having problems and it gives this error when I start the snapshot agent from SQL Server Management Studio: I am stuck on how to resolve - any ideas?
"The publisher's identity range allocation entry could not be found in MSmerge_identity_range table. Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates that a commit or ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement is missing. Previous Count = 1, current count = 2."
select * from MSmerge_identity_range returns 19 entries but I don't know how to fix.
I have tried deleting and re-creating but always get this error.
My other publications and subscriptions are working fine and I was able to create a new test publication that worked but can not get this one to work that worked fine up until today.
Hi, I disabled a merge publication on my server. I then ran sp_removedbreplication to clean the system tables. Thats fine. When I recreate a new publication on my server now, I still get the red x on my publisher node in my replcation monitor from the error I was getting before. Evenm though this publication is error free. Is it saving an srror flag in one of the sytem tabbles
I had a publication that I removed from the Local Publications folder but it still shows up in Replication Monitor (with a red 'X'). No jobs exist related to this publication either.
Everything is working ok, but I can't get rid of this from the Replication monitor.
I am trying to setup publishing on SQL Server 2000 Enterprise. I will be subscribing from a SQL Mobile 2005 database so I have installed the SQL Server 2000 SP3a Replication Components, .NET Framework 2.0, and the SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Server Tools.
I was able to go through the 2005 Mobile Web Synchronization Wizard with no problems. However, when I try to run the Configure Publishing and Distribution Wizard, I get the following message at the end:
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not configure 'GISSERV' as the Distributor for 'GISSERV' Error 14114: '(null)' is not configured as a Distributor.
The first option I choose is Make 'GISSERV' it's own Distributor. Then, I select the snapshot folder that I shared. And on the third screen, I've tried going with the standard default settings and customizing those settings.
Has anyone else come across this error? Is there anyone else out there replicating from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 Mobile?

This is a problem I encountered when I had to detach a database file (type .mdf):
1) I went to the MS SQL Management Server Studi and detached my database file successfully from a connection called Workhorse.
2) I needed to place the .mdf database file into a zip file in order to put it on a remote server. I did this using Shared Portal. This was also successful
3) However when I tried reattaching the database file, I got this error:
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5A(Access denied.) while attempting to open or create the physical file "CProgram FilesMSSQL ServerMSSQLData<databasename>.mdf'
Q) The database file and log file (ldf) exist in the correct directory so I don't know what happened. Can any one help?
I have a strange error, when I try to create publication
Msg 3933, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSrepl_addpublication, Line 1222 Cannot promote the transaction to a distributed transaction because there is an active save point in this transaction.
What is it?
P. S. The error arise with all types of replication.
I have a problem with a publication which is a transactional replication on SQL Server 7.0 . I want to add stored procedure to the existing publication along with the tables . But the Enterprise manager does not allow to select or check the box against the required stored procedure although it displays when i right click on the publication and select proeprties .
Can i have some help in this regard ? Does anybody knows to add a stored procedure by means of a query .
Is there any other way to modify publication in SQL Server 7.0 although it is possible in SQL Server 2000 .?
Because of problems trying to alter databases used for replication my software would need to find out if a database is a publisher or was repliated (using T-SQL). Is this possible?
I have been wrestling with this one all day and cannot find anything on MSDN, google, etc.... I have configured replication, but cannot create a new publication either programmatically or using the wizard. I programmatically did the following: 1. I set up my local server as a distributor, and created a distribution database (@distributor set to server sysname) execute sp_adddistributor @distributor = @distributor execute sp_adddistributiondb @database = @distributionDB, @security_mode=1; 2. I registered my local server also as a Publisher (@publisher set to server sysname, @distribution = 'distributor') SELECT @sql = 'sp_adddistpublisher @publisher = ''' + @publisher + ''', @distribution_db = ''' + @distributionDB + ''', @working_directory = ''' + @directory + ''', @security_mode = 1' SELECT @sp_executesql = quotename(@distributionDB) + '..sp_executesql ' EXEC @sp_executesql @sql 3. I enabled my local database for transactional replication (@replicationDB) exec sp_replicationdboption @dbname = @replicationDB, @optname = 'publish', @value = 'true 4. I added a logReaderAgent on the ReplicationDB SELECT @sql = 'sp_addlogreader_agent @publisher_security_mode = 1' SELECT @sp_executesql = quotename(@replicationDB) + '..sp_executesql EXEC @sp_executesql @sql
All is well up to this point, no problems, all looks great. When I check the status of things using sp_help repl stored procedures to check on publisher, distributor all looks healthy. Also looks good when I use the SSMS replication interface to check on distributor, publisher, etc. . HOWEVER...... I cannot create any publications.
I tried programmatically, and also by using the wizard. I keep getting the same error :'Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'pubid', table'. This is the sql I try to run: EXEC sp_addpublication @publication = 'test3333', @status = N'active', @allow_push = N'true', @allow_pull = N'true' This is the error: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_MSrepl_addpublication, Line 1320 Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'pubid', table 'CypressMaster.dbo.IHpublications'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated. Msg 14018, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSrepl_addpublication, Line 1348 Could not create the publication. If I use the wizard instead of trying to create the publication programmatically, I get this error (just about the same content, but a little different wording): Creating Publication - Creating Publication 'NewPublication' (Error) Messages * SQL Server could not create publication 'NewPublication'.

hi I was following the walkthrough "Creating a Mobile Application with SQL Server Mobile" and when I got to the point where you create a "local publication" I couldn't find the link "Local Publication" in my Object Explorer.
I read all the help in books online however id did not tell me how to bring that link there.
I did install the replication component using the CD installation. I have SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and Visual Studio 2005
I also found the help "Using the Publication Wizard to Create a Publication" but did not know where to locate or start the wizard.
Hi, I've come across this one before in one of the threads, unfortunately for me the author managed to figure it out for his/her self and there for no answer was posted, so can anybody help PLEASE???

Its been created via UI on SQL2005 the distributor is correctly installed i also have not tried creating a publication on any other database.....this is the first.
I want to drop a table from a publication , so that i can copy some data from another server . After the copy , i want to add the article or the table back again to the publication without making any changes to the subscribers configuration .
Is it really possible on SQL 7.0 ? Right now it does not allow me to copy the data to the published table or even drop the article (table) and it says that the article is published for replication and cannot be dropped or modified . The table is configured for transactional replication .
I will have to drop the entire publication and create all the subcribers again .
We have a publication from database a to database b. Database a containts table1 to be published to databasae b. Database b contains a publication of table1 to database c. When we go to rerun the publication from database a it errors saying cannot drop table1 since it is part of database b's publication. how do you do this.
Hi, I'm using DMO (SQLOLE65.dll) to programmatically replicate selected publications. The Publication object supports a property called Enabled, which can be set to FALSE. I'm setting the enabled property to TRUE for those publications that need be replicated, and make the others FALSE. Still, all publications get replicated. [I give DoAlter to commit the changes i made.] Any solution,Please mail me ASAP to venkateswaranb@synectics.soft.net

with following error:

Hi, I would like to know the procedure to be followed to add a table to the existing publication. The subcriber doesn't have the object yet. I have data in the source table and I want to add this table in a existing publication for transactional replication. Any advise is appreciated.
