MS has post a KB article on how to post a question on a online forum...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q555375
At first I though this was hilarious, but there is actually some good information in here that is applicable on this forum as well as anywhere else. Perhaps Brett could add this as a sticky?

If I want to unpublish an article thru Enterprise Manager, it does not allow me to uncheck it at publication properties. It only allows me to uncheck articles if I delete the subscription first. Does anybody know how tp do this in Enterprise Manager without deleting the subscription?

Code:

how to add new article within the existing replication
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi There
I hope someone can help me asap.
I need to alter a column on a replicated table.
So i execute sp_dropsubscription and sp_droparticle for the table for all publication to that article in the database.
Usually i just alter the table and then execute sp_adddarticle and sp_addsubscription afterwards and everything is cool.
However in this case after i drop the subscriptions for the article, when i try alter the table it says it is being replicated.
I query sysobjects and see that the table has replinfo = 1 , this is snapshot replication, but i only have transactional replication ? I used to have snapshot but that was dropped long ago.
I then query sysarticles and i find the table, however the pubid (publication id) for the table is equal to the publication id of another databases publication ??? I also have found in sysarticles articles with a publication id's equal to publications that do not exist, for example articles will have pubid of 2 , but if i run sp_helppublication on all user databases there is no publciation with an id of 2 ?
Please help, even after i drop all subscriptions to an article it seems that sql server thinks the article belongs to another databases publciation or publications that no longer exist?
Maybe there is some sort of cleanup sp i can run or something but it seems to me sql server has gotten articles confused with old deleted publications that no longer exist.
Therefore after dropping all subscriptions i still cannot alter tables as sql server think it is still being published but it is not!
Thanx
hello,
i need to filter an article based on a user-supplied datetime filter (the datetime parameter is specified by the subscriber just before replication). at the same time i need to filter again by user (different subscribers get different rows).
i already did the user-based filter using HOST_NAME( ). but the difficulty here (al least i think so) lies in passing 2 parameters to the filter. i cannot rely on using SUSER_SNAME to pass the user filter, because no one will want to create 500 user accounts. so i guess the only solution here is to pass both parameters using only HOST_NAME( ) and then write 2 splitting functions which uses HOST_NAME( ) as its parameter. am i right ?
publisher/distributor is sql server 2005, all subscribers use sql mobile.

Hi,
I'm setting up Transaction Replication b/w SQL Server 2K and SQL Server 2K5.
I have published Tables, Views and SPs as articles.
When I try to modify the published Stored procedure, the changes are not replicated.
When I Reinitialize the Subscription and start the Snapshot agent, it is copying the changes
made. But all articles are reinitialized again, So it takes huge time to do this.
Is there any way to just reinitialize only the changed article?
Or Is there any work around for this problem?

the msdn article explains how to input new data to a databse and return the primary key of the inputted row. It works perfectly. However, it explains how to insert a value, but there is a problem. It seems to set the value to be submitted in the VB code, instead of having the value be the user's input in the textbox. Look for the following line in the code below: newRow("ClientFileNumber") = "ClientFileNumber" It inputs "clientfilenumber" instead of what is actually inputted in the texbox. Does anyone know how to bypass this, to not have the words "clientfilenumber" inputted?Dim sqlconn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Client.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True")
Dim catDA As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Orders", sqlconn)
catDA.InsertCommand = New SqlCommand("JobInsert", sqlconn)
catDA.InsertCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
catDA.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@ClientFileNumber", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "ClientFileNumber")Dim NewJobNumber As SqlParameter = catDA.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@Identity", SqlDbType.Int, 0, "OrdersID")
NewJobNumber.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
sqlconn.Open()
Dim catDS As DataSet = New DataSetcatDA.Fill(catDS, "Orders")
Dim newRow As DataRow = catDS.Tables("Orders").NewRow()
newRow("ClientFileNumber") = ""catDS.Tables("Orders").Rows.Add(newRow)
catDA.Update(catDS, "Orders")
sqlconn.Close()
Response.Redirect("control_page_copy.aspx?NewJobNumber=" + NewJobNumber.Value.ToString())
Hi,
I'm building a straightforward-ish news site. Currently, the story details (e.g. headline, description, author, date) are stored in a SQL DB. The news is categorised and the category details are also stored in an SQL table.
However - what is the best way to store the actual news article?
At the moment, when the user enters a story, they input the details and article text. The details are saved in the DB and the text is saved as an XML file with filename corresponding to the article DB primary key. When the story is "read" the app pulls the details from the DB and loads up the appropriate XML file from disk.
For various reasons, I need to keep the article stored as XML, either in a file or in the DB. The DB provides for faster sorting and retrieval, and I don't want to store large amounts of data (i.e. the article itself) in the DB if avoidable.
I guess there are a few ways to do it -
1. Store details in DB and article as XML file.2. Store details and article in same DB table3. Store details in one DB table and articles in another
I would imagine that 3 would be the best, but would there be a performance hit? What is the maximum size of field (i.e. article size) I can have in a table?
Cheers

Hi,
It would be very nice if some people out there, using merge replication can tell me their strategy to add Article through Enterprise Manager.
I have Merge Replication, I have new table which has to be replicated. I counld not find options in Wizard to add New article for replication.
Any Help will be appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation

We're replicating columns in a table from 7.0 server to SQL2k server. Once we've got the data on SQL2k, we were able to take advantage of DTS that was not available in version 7.0.
I recenlty added a column to the article and changed the DTS accordingly (transformation columns). However, I'm getting this error ever though I added the new column in the DTS.
-------
The number of columns in the bcp file does not match what is defined in the DTS package. Regenerate the package.
-----
I've recreated the package with no luck. This is becoming urgent as it's supposed to go into production soon.
Please help!!
Thanks,

Hi All,
I am having a server where replication is set up between 2 differnt databases. It is currently running. I want to add a couple of tables to the replication. I tried using sp_addArticle, but after executing it, in the properties of the publication it shows the new tables, but at the database level the tables are missing.
I tried with sp_addsubscription but I am getting strange error:
Server: Msg 14100, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addsubscription, Line 240
Specify all articles when subscribing to a publication using concurrent snapshot processing.
What can I do to publish the tables into the target database?
Thanks in advance.
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've revised the article tocover SQL 2005, and made a general overhaul of the content.

The articleincludes a trick where you can combine this with the normal conditions fordynamic searches for very good performance under some circumstances.I also cover the new OPTION (RECOMPILE) to force statement recompile.I was hoping that it could lead to just as good query plans as dynamicSQL, but it's far cry from that.--Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, Join Bytes!Books Online for SQL Server 2005 athttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...oads/books.mspxBooks Online for SQL Server 2000 athttp://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodin...ions/books.mspx
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn our replication environment, the subscriber is initially set up with an snapshot of the publisher database. However, after that, the subscriber and publisher are different and we can never re-initialize from a snapshot again (we purge data on the publisher to reduce the database size but do not purge the same data on the subscriber; we do this by stubbing out the stored procedures on the subscriber that purge data on the publisher).
If an article is added or dropped from the publication, using snapshot and synchronize, just these changes are propagated to the publisher (without an entire new snapshot).
However, if an Article Property is changed (change SCALL to MCALL under Statement Delivery options for the UPDATE statement), the interface REQUIRES an entire new snapshot. Is there any way I can avoid the new Snapshot? It overwrites the subscriber database and this cannot happen!

I have setup Transactional replication in SQL 2005 between two servers and have about 200 tables being replicated. The problem is that every time, I add or drop a table to replication, and start the Snapshot agent, it re-initializes every article and re-loads every article. This process takes 1 hour to complete and CPU usage goes to 100% during that time.
This behaviour seems very different from SQL 2000 where I would start Snapshot agent and only the relevant tables were added/dropped.
Has that functionality changed from 2000 to 2005? Am I not doing something right?
Thanks,
Amir

Using HTTPS merge replication
The subscriber was able to get the snapshot ok, then synchronise fine
However after adding an article to the publication and recreating the snapshot I get this error now at the subscriber
Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ComErrorException (0x80004005): A failure occurred when accessing 'usp_misc_dailyTasks_3.sch' due to an operating system error [2='The system cannot find the file specified.'] during Web synchronization. Ensure that the -InternetLogin user when using basic authentication and the user running the merge when using Windows integrated authentication has been granted access to the snapshot share.
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.MergeSynchronizationAgent.Run()
The key properties when synchronising are as follows:
agent.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityMode.Standard
agent.DistributorSecurityMode = SecurityMode.Standard
agent.InternetSecurityMode = SecurityMode.Standard
In order to create the subscription:
subscription.UseWebSynchronization = True
subscription.InternetUrl = webSyncUrl
subscription.InternetSecurityMode = AuthenticationMethod.BasicAuthentication
subscription.SubscriberType = MergeSubscriberType.Anonymous
subscription.SyncType = SubscriptionSyncType.Automatic

In 2005 transactional replication, The following procedure worked (without dropping the subscription) when I dropped an article from a replicated database:
Drop article: On Publication Properties, uncheck the article (table, stored procedure or function).
Create a new snapshot.
Synchronize the push subscription.
DROP the article on the Publication and Subscriber databases.
Replication still works!
However, the following article says the subscription needs to be dropped and re-created when an article is dropped from publication: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152493.aspx (Adding Articles to and Dropping Articles from Existing Publications ). For transactional publications, articles can be dropped with no special considerations prior to subscriptions being created. If an article is dropped after one or more subscriptions is created, the subscriptions must be dropped, recreated, and synchronized.
Under what conditions is dropping the subscription and recreating it absolutely necessary? I do not want to include this extra step.

Hi there,
I have an RMO application and I would like to force the processing order of the articles. I can see in the documentation how to do this for a topology managed by sql stored procedures but I can't see how / where it says in BOL how to do this in RMO.
I am pretty new to RMO and c# generally so please excuse me if I am just being thick!
Cheers,
