Identity Range Managed By Replication Is Full And Must Be Updated By A Replication Agent. Error Message Makes NO SENSE.
Mar 6, 2007
Hello,
I'm getting the following error message when I try add a row using a
Stored Procedure.
"The identity range managed by replication is full and must be updated
by a replication agent".
I read up on the subject and have tried the following solutions
according to MSDN without any luck.(http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/
304706 )
sp_adjustpublisheridentityrange (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/
library/aa239401(SQL.80).aspx ) has no effect
For Testing:
I've reloaded everything from scratch, created the pulications from by
running the sql scripts generated,created replication snapshots and
started the agents.
I've checked the current Identity values in the Agent Table:
DBCC CHECKIDENT ('Agent', NORESEED)
Checking identity information: current identity value '18606', current
column value '18606'.
I check the Table to make sure there will be no conflicts with the
primary key:
SELECT AgentID FROM Agent ORDER BY AgentID DESC
18603 is the largest AgentID in the table.
Using the Table Article Properties in the Publications Properties
Dialog, I can see values of:
Range Size at Publisher: 100,000
Range Size at Subscribers: 100
New range @ percentage: 80
In my mind this means that the Publisher will assign a new range when
the Current Indentity value goes over 80,000?
The Identity range for this table cannot be exhausted! I'm not sure
what to try next.
Please! any insight will be of great help!
Regards,

Hi all i have setup merge replication with one publisher and 3 subscribers
The replication worked fine for about 2 months then i recieved the following error on all my subscriptions
The Publisher failed to allocate a new set of identity ranges for the subscription. This can occur when a Publisher or a republishing Subscriber has run out of identity ranges to allocate to its own Subscribers or when an identity column data type does not support an additional identity range allocation. If a republishing Subscriber has run out of identity ranges, synchronize the republishing Subscriber to obtain more identity ranges before restarting the synchronization. If a Publisher runs out of identit (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199417) Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199417
I have updated my sql server to service pack 2
The publisher is sql Standard edition and the subscribers are Express edition
We are consistently getting the error message below on our subscribers that have blob images. Is there a way to increase a setting to avoid SQL to throw this error, or another suggestion? Thanks in advance.

I've been programming with SQL 7 for about a year and my company has finally decided to go SQL 2k5.
I've come accross a really irritating error when writing to the DB via ADO in ASP pages. I have a column in a table that is auto-incremental.
In SQL server 7 you just make an ADODB.Command object and enter the SQL query 'insert into table (columns) values ('val...') now for SQL 7 I can completely leave out the auto-incremental column (called 'ErrorNo') and simply specify the other columns and values in my insert query. e.g. where my table is called master_error:
ErrorNo int identity (1, 1) not null ,ReportedBy char(10) ,ExpectedFixDate datetime
With ErrorNo being an auto-incremental identity, my query would be
INSERT INTO master_error (ReportedBy, ExpectedFixDate) VALUES ('Ben','01 Sep 2007')
this works perfectly with ADODB.Command when writing to SQL Server 7 from IIS 5.0
however when I execute the exact same command on the exact same table using ADODB.Command writing to SQL Server 2005 from IIS 6.0 I get an 'error 500 internal server error'
I thought perhaps SQL 2005 might have different syntax so I typed the query directly into SQL Server 2005's version of query analyser and guess what... it worked fine.
I can't tell where the error lies. I find it hard to beleive that the error is in the code of my ASP page as it works perfectly against a sql 7 db.
I'm getting this, after upgrading from 2000 to 2005.Replication-Replication Distribution Subsystem: agent (null) failed.The subscription to publication '(null)' has expired or does notexist.The only suggestions I've seen are to dump all subscriptions. Sincewe have several dozen publications to several servers, is there adecent way to script it all out, if that's the only suggestion?Thanks in advance.
I'm having a problem with merge replication. Â My publisher and subscriber are SQL 2008 SP1, and my distributor is SQL 2008 R2. Â Currently, there is no access to the subscriber data aside from the replication agents, so there are no data changes going on there, data is only being modified on the Publisher. Â My plan was to get everything setup and do some internal testing before releasing the subscriber for use.
We have a couple of tables that can have quite a bit of data each day prior to replication. Can we increase the default values for a table for each subscription? For example we have a table called table1 and on the sqlexpress client they could enter in 10000 rows a day, on table2 it's just 100 rows a day. How can we increase the values to where we do not get the error for table1 stating that the insert failed because it conflicted with the identity range check constraint. Thanks in advance.
I am trying to set up Merge Replication on a database and want to set the IdentityRange Management to Auto for all my tables which use a Identity column.
In the wizard, on Article Properties Page, I can do this by selecting a Table, and going for its properties, but this is a tedious task as I have ~300 tables to set this property on.
Is there another way or a global location where I can set the property to true and even mention the ranges and the threshold, so that I dont have to pick each table and set it individually.
I am also aware of the fact that I can Generate a Script and modify it and run that, but I was looking for some way to do this in the wizard.
i use a transactional replication to load my datawarehouse DB everynight.
This works fine for the first repliaction but on the second i get the error "Agent message code 21074 the subscriptions need to be reinitialized..." and i have to reinitialize with new snapshots.
During testing, the log for tempdb filled up. That caused the replication agents to get an error and stop. Is there an easy way to have the agents wait a minute or 2 then try to restart?
I have two machines running SQL Express that I am attempting to use as proxies for a client application as the security admin has deemed that outside clients can not connect directly to the main DB servers.
When I have one of the SQL Express boxes subscribed to my SQL 2005 standard server, everything is happy, but when I attempt to add the second SQL Express box as a subscriber, everything seems to blow up.
OK, I'm setup as a merge with updates and no filter since I want all of the servers to get all of the data. I'm also on a non-standard port but have my aliases setup, and I don't have any connection issues. When I run the subscription wizard from the management studio, it comes back with "Success", but about 2 seconds later, I get errors on both subscribers from the replication monitor. Oh, I am aslo setup for push subscriptions and am setup to run continuously.
Here is the error message from the rep. monitor.

What I find odd is that It only dies when I try to add a second subscriber, and then it kills both of them. Any help or ideas on where I should look would be most welcome.
I have setup a replication and after 24 hours this are the error messages I have got:Last action; The database 'supersite' on server 'solomon' does not exist. Full error message: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'superiste'. No entry found with that name.Make sure that the name is entered correctly. Can anyone out there help me out?
I have a SQL server scheduled to replication. This works fine if it has to do that one the sever on the same mechine. If it has to be done to another server, the replication fails with the following error message.
08001[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][dbnmpntw]Connectionopen(Createfile())
I have created my production server as a distributor and a publication on that server. On my backup server I have created a pull subscription. After that I have generated SQL scripts on my backup server so I can create the pull subscription anytime.
To test my script I used sp_removedbreplication 'dbname' to remove replication on the backup server. I then used the generated SQL script to create the pull subscription again. I got this error message
Job 'ProdServName_DBName-BackServName-DBName401A48AE-D8DC-4F29-A610-13916370CD0B' started successfully. Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addsubscription, Line 135 Invalid object name 'syspublications'.
What does this Error message mean and what can I do about it?
I am new to SSIS (though have a decent amount of experience with SQL Server 2000), and am trying to design a data warehouse and eventually a comprehensive reporting solution.
Here is our setup: - We have ~150 studios all operating software which we designed (ie. we have control over the system that will be the Data Warehouse source). - All studios use merge replication back to Head Office (we maintain a duplicate of each of their databases).
From my limited understanding of Data Warehousing methodology, I believe that I should prepare a 'staging area' which contains all needed data from these databases. My question is how to do this in an efficient manner (without resorting to software-maintained timestamps in all the source tables - this would require significant modification to our software).
Since replication is already identifying which rows are new or updated, I'm wondering if there is some way to use this information to limit the information processed during the Data Warehouse updating process. I realize that I would still need to determine whether the row was updated or new, but it would cut down immensely on the number of rows processed.
I feel like I could be missing out on a simple way to do my data extraction from the source DBs. Does anyone have any advice?
I am getting this error during Merge Replication "Unable to synchronize the row because the row was updated by a different process outside of replication."
I could not reproduce this error in my development enviornment, can anyone tell me what is cause of the above error and how do I reproduce this error in my development machine? I am able to get which is outside process?
The Conflict Type is 10 for above error which is logged into Conflict Table.
We just moved source server to newer, bigger box ... Windows 2003 and Active Directory ... Snapshot agent worked but distribution failed ... Same login as on older machine, login is sysadm, used DCOMCNFG to allow ability to launch process ... What are we missing?
I have a merge replication in place. I increased the identity_range to 100000 for a table. I have done this both ways, via the properties of the publication on SSMS, and via TSQL. I have call sp_adjustpublisheridentityrange. Then I recreated the sanpshot.  EXEC sp_adjustpublisheridentityrange @table_name = N'Label', @table_owner = N'caseup';but after synchronization, the range defined in the table's constraint has not changed and now all of the identity values are used up. All inserts are failing.What needs to be done to force the publisher to recreate the identity range on a subscriber(s).
I'we set up a replication between to sql 2000 servers(transactional replication), the problem is that user application is using select @@identity. I can se way this is a problem, but i cannot find an solution to this. Other than change the client app's code, which undesirable. Anyone with an suggestion how to solve this issue?
I 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?
Please, 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 ?????
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.)
-- RESULT: Server: Msg 14101, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_MSaddpub_snapshot, Line 73 The publication 'publication_name' already has a Snapshot Agent defined.
i have larg table (images) and i want to replicate it to two locations by the merge replication . in the first location , i was appling the merge replication for 10 months without problems. but at last week ,aftre reinilizing the publication( after generating the snapshot successfully) , i stoped the synchronization for some problems in the network line and increased the minimum and the maximum retention periods .now , when i am going to start synchronizing i receive this message :"the merge process could not perform retention-based meta data cleanup in database " and the number of rows between tow locations for this table are different .
please help me quickly before to be the difference in number of rows is too large and i can't to stop the system for the long period.
note : i have other publications that is replicated by transactional replication.
I've got a merge replication set up between boxes. They're on separate sites both behind an ADSL Nat modem router. The publisher connects to the subscriber via a port forward / Nat translation at the router. This replication set up has been running for some months now. This morning I got this failure message from the merge agent on the publisher.
"the specified remote server name may not be the network name of the remote server or the remote server is unreachable due to network problems. The step failed"
Currently the Enterprise Mgr at the publisher can see the subscriber as can query analyzer running on the publisher.
The host name of the subscriber is the same name used in the server registration at the publisher. The registration uses a Client Network Utility alias to resolve the name.
If I run a ping command at the publisher using the subscribers name I get replies (the resolution of that name is done via a hosts file entry)
Both machines are Win2k Server boxes running SQL Server 2000 Standard.
Any ideas why the agent can't see the subscriber despite the fact its usual communications channel is working just fine?
