Error 627: Transactional Repl. SQL 7.0
Nov 11, 1999
The problem case for transactional replication in MS SQL 7.0 is as follows:
Server A (intended publisher)
Server B (distributor, intended subscriber)
When configuring replication, the distributor (B) can be configured easily; the publisher (A) that uses B as its distributor will not allow for a publication to be created using either the Enterprise Manager wizards or TSQL commands. The error '627: Cannot use SAVE TRANSACTION within a distributed transaction' occurs when creating the publication.
Any suggestions; I need some help ASAP.
Thanks

Hello,
I've been able to startup a transactional replication between 2 database for some tables that only have different table names. Now there are still some tables that not only have different names but also different column names, can this be done in the wizzard ??
Thx

one week ago, for testing purpose, I set up trans repl, trans repl with updateable, snapshot repl using the same instance.
configuration is like this,
publisher and distributor are on the same server, 2 remote subscribers, one is 2000, the other is 2005.
It works OK, today I am trying to disable the replicaiton, clean up the machine. keep getting the errors:
an exception occurred while executing a T-SQL statement or batch
only replicaiton jobs,or job schedules can be added, modified,dropped or viewed through replicaiton SPs
could not update the distribution database subscription table, the subscription status could not be changed.
changed database context to 'master',(MSSQL SERVER error 22538)

I am trying to set up a merge replication between SQL 2005 and SQL Express. When I try to apply the snapshot to the SQL Express database. I get the error "Can not access filepathSnapshot.pre due to error OS 3"
Does anyone know what OS error 3 applies to?
Also, when I try to place the snapshop in the default folder location say D:ReplicationData the create snapshot process will work. If I try to place the snapshot folder not in the default and in a UNC like this \serverIPReplicationData I get an access error. sqlAgent has access to the share, which is fully shared out. Any ideas?

Hi Guys,
I have a small problem with the transactional replication when I run the initial snapshot and distributing some of the stored procedures. For eg., Say if the stored procedure has the following statements:
---------------------------------------
create procedure abc
as
declare @paytype varchar(50)
set @paytype='check'
insert into acct select cusname,cusacctno,@paytype from cuspay
---------------------------------------
I get the following error:
for statement:
set @paytype='check'
--------------------
Invalid column name 'check'.
(Source: ServerSQL1 (Data source); Error number: 207)
I tried changing to double quotes. even tried adding article using query analyzer without using EM
exec sp_addarticle @publication = N'ReplicationSrc', @article = N'abc', @source_owner = N'dbo', @source_object = N'abc', @destination_table = N'abc', @type = N'proc schema only', @creation_script = null, @description = null, @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop', @schema_option = 0x0000000000000001, @status = 16
GO
Still I get the same error. The server has SQL server 2000 SP2 running with remote distributor and pull subscription.
Am I missing anything.
Please help.
Thanks,
Anu

I am running sql 2000 sp3.
A pull subscription failed with the following.
errormsg: Cannot drop the table 'table_name' because it is being used for replication.
errordetail: Cannot drop the table 'table_name' because it is being used for replication.
(Source: SQLTEST2 (Data source); Error number: 3724)
This error started after a field was dropped and a new field added to one of the articles in the publication - changes were done through Enterprise Manager.
Why does this error come up. The Default Table Article Properties dialog box>>>Snapshot tab has the option "If a table with the same name as the destination table exists at the Subscriber>>>DROP the existing table and recreate it.
So if this is an option in replication for a Subscriber how come the error message says it cannot drop the table.
Any insight appreciated.

Hello,
I am a newbie to replication, I recently came up with this error.
Cannot use DROP VIEW with 'dbo.vw_UndeliverableEmail' because
'dbo.vw_UndeliverableEmail' is a table.Use DROP TABLE.
I tried running these two queries to make sure.
SELECT * from syscomments where id = object_id('vw_UndeliverableEmail')
sp_help vw_UndeliverableEmail
I am sure that it is a view.
I am not sure how to proceed since the object referred is indeed a view rather than a table as the Replication Error tries to point out.
The details :
SQL Server 2005 / Transactional Replication/ Pull Subscription Any thoughts/helps/suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks

We are trying to replicate a varchar(max) column and receive the following error when trying to insert a record on the publisher:
Length of LOB data (75679) to be replicated exceeds configured maximum 65536.
The distribution agent is set up to use the oledb streaming profile so I can't figure out where this setting is.

The full backup is taken 10:00 pm , transactional log backup is taken through sqlserver hourly basis.
when i restore the full back and later restore the transactional log backup taken at 11:00 pm , i get a error

what is this lsn number how can we relate the lsn number with trasactional log backup with the name.

Hi,
I'd appreciate any help i can get here. I'm working with an MS SQL Server 2005 SP2 db on a Windows 2003 OS. I set up replication from an Oracle 10g instance a few months ago, and everything was working until i installed SP2 for SQL Server.
I get the following error:

I can get snapshot replication to work just fine, but transactional replication throws up the error above.
Anyone with any ideas on how i can proceed?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Rama.

I have just started getting the following error from the queue reader but I can't see why.
The Queue Reader Agent has encountered the error ''Row handle is invalid.'' when connecting to ''Database'' on ''ServerName''. Ensure that the publication and subscription are defined properly and that both servers are running.
Does anybody know what it means / how I can fix the problem?
Thanks

This thread is no longer active. I moved issue to a new, cleaner thread named: How can I get Transactional Republishing to work?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've tried for more than a week to figure this one out, but have not found a solution. I'm missing some critical information that perhaps someone can share. I'm desperate and embarassed that this has kept me stuck for so long. Thanks for any assistance.
In my simplist scenario, I'm transactionally replicating a single table from database A to database B and then from database B to database C. All databases are on the same XP server (in this simplist version of the problem). This is SQL 2005 RTM. Publication A to B replicates fine. Publication B to C can't even get the snapshot to work because I get the error:
Command attempted:
drop Table "dbo"."MyReplTable"
(Transaction sequence number: 0x00004174000000E100A300000000, Command ID: 41)
Error messages:
Cannot drop the table 'dbo.MyReplTable' because it is being used for replication. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 3724) Get help: http://help/3724 (fyi - there is no help here)
I have a simple example script where I've renamed real names to fake names, that is exactly what I run to simulate the problem. Obviously the script is wrong, but where? I used the wizard to create the whole script (I know that is my first mistake ;-) ). After I start the snapshot jobs, I get the error above.
I presume that the sp_addarticle option @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop' is part of the problem. I don't have row filters. Also, I want to be able to replicate schema modifications when necessary (like add a column or drop a column)
Perhaps the sp_addpublication @repl_freq = N'continuous' option in the AtoB publication prevents the BtoC publication from ever getting a chance to do anything, if it never lets go of the table.
If it helps, here is my script with hopefully helpfully renamed objects. My real world scenario has many articles, but this is a simple version - 2 publications each having 1 article (the same table).

I have used skiperrors parameter for 2601,2627 and 20598 errors in my Transaction replication setup. When transactions with above error are encountered, its skipped but I€™m not getting sql command that is skipped in MSrepl_errors table. Since SQL server 2000 is not saving transaction sequence number in the MSrepl_errors we are not getting the command, which have the errors.
Is there any way to track the commands those are skipped in transactional replication.

When I using Create Publication Wizard for database 'MY DATABASE', and setup 'MY SERVER' as the Distributor, then I get a message:
SQLServer Agent on 'MY SERVER' current uses a system acount, which cause replication between servers to fail. In the following dialog, specify a domain account for the Service startup account.
I don't understand this message (current in SQL Server Agent properties, tab Service startup account using System account)? Anyone can explain to me?

I am running merge replication (SQL 2000 with SP2) with an anonymous pull subscription. The application vendor has come out with update that requires adding a table to a database. The vendor has created scripts that will add the table, as well as some stored procedures. If I apply the scripts to both servers and add the table as a new article to the publication, am I going to have to apply a snapshot of the entire database (which is very large)?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

I'm in trouble again. I want to make merge replication between SS 2000 Enterprise and SS 2005 Express edition. 2000 will be publisher, 2005 will be subscriber. In addition I want to use push subsription at 2000 side, very last thing is it will be download only (I know how to make a merge rep. downloadonly, thanks god!). That's all I want to do.
I made a little search, it seems what I want can't be done automatically, using SMO or scripts is suggested. In one of other forums I saw "distibuter>=publisher>=subsriber" (refering sql server versions). Is it an incontestable truth that I cannot make SS 2000 a publisher where SS 2005 Express is subscriber?
How can I achieve my goal, isn't there anyway to make 2000 publisher for merge replication while a 2005 Express is subscriber?
Thanks

Hi,
We're running a replicationprocess for months now, and 2 days ago it broke down, for no appearant reason I can detect. The setup is this:
A SQL2K server has a publication defined on a database, consisting of several dozen tables. It is a transactional publication, running continuously. There is 1 subscriber, a SQL2005. Both servers run with Win2003 and all have the latest servicepacks.
Up until 2 days ago there was hardly a problem. Then I received errormessages on being unable to load into a specific table. That table had been changed on that day, namely, 1 column was changed from CHAR(13) to CHAR(12). I do not know if this has any relation with the problem we experience.
Currently the databases are structural the same. I could not get the replicationprocess to work and deleted all, publication on server1 and subscription on server2. I tried to setup a new transactional publication, which is not a problem, however, I cannot create a succesful subscription. I receive the message:
The process could not bulkcopy into table 'Tablename', where tablename is the changed table...
Again, both tables in publisher and subscruiber are the same in all respects. When I remove the offending table from the publication, the same message now with another tablename... Removing this table will result in again this message with another tablename...
I am really flabbergasted. Any idea where to look at?
TIA

We have VLDBs running on a SQL 2005 server. Some users have questioned speed and response times. When I investigated the server (W2K3) using the perfomrance monitor, I noticed an interesting questionabel result. The Repl. Pending Xacts showed 44,000,000 transactions waiting to be delived to the distribution databse. Problem is - we do not have replication tunred on on any of the db's on the box. In my research, I have not noticed anyone with a similiar issue. Does this amount of transaction take up space, or is it simply a counter that I don't have to be worried about?

I'll start off by saying these questions were submitted to Microsoft and no
one can give us an answer without them doing a source code review. Their
response was "these are internal BCP scripts that are used by SQL"....yes, I
know that....that doesn't help to explain why the system created them. At
this point, I don't want my compary to pay support hours for Microsoft
personnel to learn what their software does.
--------------------
We've had merge publication in place for several years.
Last year, we added some tables/articles to publications.
After the upgrade from SQL Server 2000 SP4 Standard to SQL Server 2005 SP2
Standard, when the snapshot was run, the system created some new files that
had never existed before. Also, and more importantly, these files were only
created for the articles added after the initial snapshot was created.
Articles existing in the intial snapshot did not have these type of files
created.
Examples of these files for a SA_MOVE table that was added to an existing
publication:
MSmerge_contents_SA_MOVE.bcp
MSmerge_contents_SA_MOVE_forall.bcp
MSmerge_rowtrack_SA_MOVE90.bcp
sysmergesubsetfilters_SA_MOVE.bcp
sysmergesubsetfilters_SA_MOVE90.bcp
Also some new bcps created were:
MSmerge_contents90_forall.bcp
MSmerge_genhistory90.bcp
MSmerge_rowtrack90.bcp
sysmergesubsetfilters90.bcp
The system wanted to apply these files before it would start synchronizing
data so they had to be delivered to the subscriber. It appears it was the
sysmergesubsetfilters_ files that it wanted to apply. These are all 0 in
size and we do not have filter on(at least not as far as I know...see the
addmergearticle code below).
New databases created this year that had all of the articles defined in the
publication before the initial snapshot was taken did not get these
additional files created, nor did the system want to try to send files to the
subscriber before syncrhonization could begin.
This is an example of how an article had been cretead under SQL Server 2000
when adding a new database, before an initial snapshot is run:
exec sp_addmergearticle @publication = N'Last', @article = N'SA_MOVE',
@source_owner = N'dbo', @source_object = N'SA_MOVE', @type = N'table',
@description = null, @column_tracking = N'true', @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop',
@creation_script = null, @schema_option = 0x000000003000EFF1,
@article_resolver = null, @subset_filterclause = null, @vertical_partition =
N'false', @destination_owner = N'dbo', @verify_resolver_signature = 0,
@allow_interactive_resolver = N'false', @fast_multicol_updateproc = N'true',
@check_permissions = 0
This is an example of how an article was added under SQL Server 2000 to an
existing publication that already had the initial snapshot run:
exec sp_addmergearticle @publication = N'Last', @article = N'SA_MOVE',
@source_owner = N'dbo', @source_object = N'SA_MOVE', @type = N'table',
@description = null, @column_tracking = N'true', @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop',
@creation_script = null, @schema_option = 0x000000000000EFF1,
@article_resolver = null, @subset_filterclause = null, @vertical_partition =
N'false', @destination_owner = N'dbo', @auto_identity_range = N'false',
@verify_resolver_signature = 0, @allow_interactive_resolver = N'false',
@fast_multicol_updateproc = N'true', @check_permissions = 0,
@force_invalidate_snapshot = 1
A few questions:
Does anyone have an idea why the system created these files are part of the
2005 upgrade?
What is the real purpose of the files with names such as _forall.bcp ?
Thanks for any help/info on this,
Doug

Hi,
We have a client that has a large (5Gb) database replicated to 13 subscribers, the publisher is Sql 2005, the subscribers are Sql Express. The publication has as few filtered articles too. I have found that after several months of continuous running Replication Monitor is taking a long time to report history on each subscriber.
Do people tend to rebuild the indexes on the system merge replication tables on production servers, or should the standard replication jobs take care of this?
Thanks for your help
Graham

I am setting up a combination of transactional and merge replicationon a very large database and do not want to apply the initial snapshotsince this would take to long. I am doing this with scripts that werepreviosly created when the database was not this big. I want to copythe publisher DB over to the Subscriber Server. Can I use theparameter @sync_type to 'none' when running the sp_addsubscription?Does anyone have any experience in doing this?Thanks in Advance for any help on this.Alan

Hello...
We have had Merge Replication working for the past few months (SQL 2005 to SQL Mobile) and suddenly today the replication URL that points to the SqlCESA30.DLL does not work. I have tried re-running the SQL Mobile virtual folder wizard a few times....resetting IIS and even a re-boot...and still the URL is not available.
Is there anything that might provide some clue as to why this has unexpectedly failed?
thanks for any help!

We have a large number of clients attempting to replicate two publications on 2005 Express databases (2 publications subscribed to the one subscriber database) with our 2005 Server (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Standard Edition) and experiencing two significant problems:
1) Users experience the following message:
The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Subscriber for changes not yet sent to the Publisher. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload).
This problem should not apparently occur with SQL Server 2005 (or 2005 Express) instances with SP2 applied. All clients experiencing this problem have SP2 installed as does our Server and the retention period is 30 days. The subscribers have been replicating well under that.
2) Replications never succeed after appearing to replicate/loop around for hours
This issue is the most critical as we have clients who have been installed and re-installed with new instances of SQL Server 2005 Express, new empty databases (on subscriber before snapshot extraction), and using fresh snapshots (less than an few hours old) which cannot successfully replicate.
Interestingly there is at least 1 instance where several computers are subscribed and successfully replicating the same database as another where replication refuses to succeed.
To test we have taken a republished database from another 2005 Server which is working fine and restored it to the same server as the one holding the database with which we are experiencing problems and subscribed to it. This test worked fine and replication of both publications went through fast and repeatedly without showing any signs of problem.
This indicates that the problem is perhaps data related as it appears localised to that database.
Below are two screenshots which may assist.
Screenshot 1 Shows that on the server side the replication attempts look like they are succeeding despite the fact that the subscriber end does not indicate success. Also the history indicates the the subscription has spent all it's time initialising and not merging any changes.
Screenshot 2 Shows a rogue process which has appears on many of the problem child subscribers. It shows a process running with no end time even though the job indicates failure in the message and even though other replication attempts appear to have succeeded after it. This process stays in the history showing that it is running even when I can find no corresponding process for it.
Can anyone suggest a further course of action/further testing/further information required which may assist?
This is extremely urgent and any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Scott

Hello,
I'm interested in combining the Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication and Standard Transactional Replication to provide a scale out solution of SQL Server 2005. The condition is as follows:
We may have 10 SQL Server 2005 (1 Publisher + 9 Subscriber) running transactional replication in the production environment and allow updates in subscribers. To offload the loading of the publisher, we plan to have 2 Publisher (PubNode1 and PubNode2) using Peer-to-Peer Transaction Replication and the rest 8 subscribers will be divided into 2 groups. The subscribers 1-4 (SubNode1, SubNode2, SubNode3, and SubNode4) will be set to be standard transactional replication subscribers of PubNode1, and the rest 4 subscribers (SubNode5, ..., SubNode8) will be set to be standard transactional replication subscribers of PubNode2.
Is it possible to setup above 2 Publisher + 8 Subscriber topology?
Also, could we set the 8 subscribers with updatable subscriptions to achieve each node is updatable?
We do not plan to set all the 10 nodes using Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication as it is necessary to make sure n*(n-1)/2 (i.e. 45) peer-to-peer connections is reliable. It seems that the maintenance cost is high if the servers are not in a LAN and the topology is very high coupling. So we prefer to divide the 10 nodes into 2 groups and reduce the cost of each node to maintain the connections to all other sites.
That's the scenario.
Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.
Thanks,
Terence

We are going to have two SQL 2000 Servers with a SQL 2005 distributor server that will handle 1 way transactional replication. What kind of server should I ask IT to spec out that would satisfy an installation such as this?
Our production DB is 30GB and we are replication about 60% of the data to another server.

On my distribution server there is a directory called mssql7
epldataunc that houses the bcp, sch and idx files for replications. A directory is created for each publication. Most directories are empty but some contain all the table idx, sch and bcp files for the publication. Some of these files are over 6 month. Does anyone know if these files are neccessary to keep and why do only some publications have these files. I am wondering if they are kept when you push the publicaiton and it errors out originally and you have to restart it? If any one can shed some like on this I would appreciate it.

Hi,
I am planning to do a transactional replication from production server to reporting server. In one of my database is having 150 tables in it, only 100 tables are having primary key . Remaining tables are not have primary keys. So i am not able to do transactional replication for those 50 tables. Could any one tell me how i have to approch transactional replication. Because i need to have production data at my reporting server in regular interval.
So pls suggest me .
I am using Sql 7.0 with service pack2.
