Unable To Initiate Replication
Aug 25, 2000My problem is the following: when I try to configure replication between two SQL servers, I get an error message even before I get a chance to configure anything. When I choose "Configuring publishing and subscribers" (in Enterprise Man.) I receive the following error message: "SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not complete the wizard because @@SERVERNAME is for " is NULL. Use sp_addserver to set @@SERVERNAME".
When I try to do this I get the message that the name already exists...
Something is obviously wrong with this server, but I can't pinpoint the problem, much less resolve it - I would very much appreciate any help!!

Initiate Net Backup Task
Oct 5, 2012I am trying to initiate a Netbackup task from a SQL Job using the following CmdExec code:
"C:Program FilesVERITASNetBackupnindbbackex.exe" -f "C:Program FilesVeritasNetBackupDbExtMsSql<Filename.bch>" -p <profilename> -u <username> -pw <password> -s <server> -np
If I run it from a Command Prompt window it works fine, however if I copy the exact same code into a SQL Job and use the job type 'Operating System (CmdExec)' it fails to run. All I get in the Job History is: "Executed as user: DomainUsername. The step did not generate any output. Process Exit Code 2. The step failed."
I have managed to get this to work on another almost identical server using the same accounts and everything but for some reason it won't run on the one I'm currently using.
SQL 2000 Possible To Initiate Database Transfer?
Jan 3, 2006Hi guys,
I am new to SQL Server 2000 and like to enquire the following.
Scenario:
this current website is hosted by A but now taken over by B.
B was given SQL server username and password and was instructed to download the database directly from A based on the username n pw given.
So my qns is:
Is it possible to initiate data transfer from one server situated at locationA to another server at locationB that doesnt belong to the same domain? If can, by which ways? Using the DTS method? Or there are some settings to be configure at ODBC in order to initiate the data transfer?
Any experts out there? ;)
Log Shipping Best Method?? How To Initiate An Existing Plan?
Dec 16, 2005My question is two fold. First, What is the best method for mirroring to a fail-over server? Replication has limits on tables that do not have key fields, and I am finding that Log Shipping is harder to work with.
I have set it up several times, and conducted tests with test databases, but when it fails, I get no indication as to why, and I also can find no way to re-initiate it (without deleting the maintenance plan and starting over). Which leads to my second question, is there a way to manually initiate a log shipping plan already defined?
Thanks in advance!

Jul 6, 2006Hi
I have a setup where I need to replicate the database which is actually subscribing from another database. The current setup is all in SQL Server 2000. I need to now setup a Distrbutor on a SQL server 2005 and publish the database using this distributor to another server on SQL server 2000.
Has anybody done this before. If yes what will I need to check. Can you please let me know :-
1) SQL Server 2000 which SP should be installed to support this enviroment.
2) SQL Server 2005 which SP should be installed to support this environment.
3) Any thing that I need to look out for.
Thanks for any inputs on this.

Move Instance Off A Server With Hardware Problems SQL Server 2000 Sp4 ENT With Replication
Apr 2, 2008We have a SQL Server 2000 ent edition sp4 with 3 small databases and one 4 GB database which is REPLICATED
The Server has been bouncing like a yoyo today because of a disk controller problem and I am preparing to move the Instance to a whole new server this afternoon. The new Server will have the same IP and name as the original server.
Any suggestions for the easiest or most seamless way to make this happen? preferably using Backup and Restore since they plan on taking the old server down completely and then building a new server with the same name and IP ... any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sql Server Merge Replication Vs. Sql Server Transactional With Updatable Subscribtion
Jun 12, 2006Hi,
Transactional replication allows updatable subscriptions where changes at the subscriber are replicated up to the publisher, this can happen via Immediate Updating subscriptions, Queue subscriptions and P2P (new in SQL 2005), all forms of Transactional replication.
Any compared document between merge replication and Transactional with updatable subscribtion ?
Thanks,

Replication :: Server 1 And Server 2 In Mirroring Relationship With Automatic Failover
Sep 24, 2015I'm looking at a setup where they have server1 and server2 in a mirroring relationship with automatic failover.
Server1 is the principalThey are using transactional replication to replicate asingle databse to server3 is AWS.Distribution database is on Server1All Agents (log reader, snapshot, distributor) run on Server1Server2 has not been set up for replication...My understanding is that in this set up you would normallly place the distribution database on a separate server and enable publication on the mirror, Server2.
What happens if they failover? Replication would stop, and presumably records added while the mirror is the active database would not be marked for replication?How would they recover? Failback and reinintialize

Transactional Replication From SQL Server 2005 To SQL Server 2000
Nov 8, 2006I am trying to test simple replication (only tables) of a database that resides on a SQL Server 2005 instance to a SQL Server 2000 instance. The Publisher and Distributer are set up on the SQL Server 2005 instance for Transactional replication. The subscriber is set up on in the 2000 instance. Replication Monitor shows the following error after applying a few scripts:
"Category: SQLSERVER Source SQLSERVER2000 Number: 170 Message: Line 6: Incorrect syntax near
'max'."
Here SQLSERVER2000 is the name of my 2000 instance, as should be obvious.
Beyond this point, replication fails. Any pointers as to where the problem could lie? Is this a known backward compatibility issue? I've checked all tables in the database and none contain any datatype that is new to 2005 (the database was actually created in and for SQL Server 2000.
Replication from 2000 to 2005 works fine, but the other way round is failing as described above. Any clues?
Replicate To Other Server If Replication With Main Server Failed ...
Aug 16, 2007
Let say I've 4 server with MS SQL 2000 installed and I want all of them having the same data. So I'm using merge replication by assign one of them as publisher/distributor.
The problem is when ( let say ) server that have been assign as publisher/distributor down then all the other server cannot make replication.
My idea was to make it replicate to other available server ( among them ) if replication to main server failed.
Is it possible ?
If possible how to do it ?
Thanks.
Need Help Regarding Replication Between SQL Server 2005 And SQL Server Mobie Edition!
Mar 20, 2006Dear support,
I am working on my graduation project that has a wide section of PC Pocket application to merge data between the SQL Mobile Edition and the SQL Server 2005. So, i had done most of the steps mentioned in the Books Online for the SQL Mobile Edition, till i had reached the step of creating a subscription for the Mobile Database, it is known that at the end of this step there would be a code generated in order to use it in developing the application and after clicking finish the wizard will start Synchronization. Here this step fails with a message informing me that the snapshot agent is not started yet or the publisher didnt generate the snapshot yet !!
So looking forward to getting your advice soonly!
Thank you for your attention,
Kindly Regards;

View 5 Replies View RelatedSQL Express Replication And Problems Accessing Data After Replication
Jul 28, 2006Hi,
I have a VB.net app that access a SQL Express database. I have transactional repliaction set up on a SQL 2000 database (the publisher) and a pull subscription from the VB.net app. I use RMO in the VB app to connect to the publisher. My problem is I am getting some strange behaviour as follows
- if I run the app and invoke the pull subscription it works fine. If I then close my app and go back in, I can access my data without any problem
- If I run the app and try to access data in my SQL Express database it works fine. I can then close the app, reopen it and run the pull subscription it works fine
however.......
- if I run the app, invoke the pull subscription (which runs fine), and then try to access data in my local SQL Express database without firstly closing and reopening the app, I get a login error
- if I run the app, try to access data in my local SQL Express database (which works fine), and then try to run the pull subscription I get a "the process cannot acces the file as it is being used by another process" error. In this case I need to restart the SQL Express service to be able to run replication again.
I get exactly the same behaviour when I use the Windows Sync tool (with my app open at the same time) instead of my RMO code to replicate the data.
I am using standard ADO.Net 2 code to access my SQL Express data in the app and closing all connections etc
Any advice appreciated !
Thanks

Jul 10, 2005I am following the wizard to setup SQL Replication. My understanding is that I can create the Publisher and Subscriber on the same SQL database server. I have setup two databases TestA and TestB and TestC being the publication database, on the same server DatabaseA. The first warning I receive is that SQL Server Agent on Database A currently uses the system account which causes replication between the servers to fail. In the following dialog box, specify another account. I have set up another user account for DatabaseA with full writes to everything and specified the user account in the dialog the warning message spawned. I have put the SQL Agent user in all three database I followed the rest of the wizard and on the Specify Articles to Publish, Tables appear as the object type, Show is checked and Publish Article is unchecked. I try to check Publish Article for the tables object, and it is locked and I cannot go any farther in the wizard.What am I doing wrong? Do I have to use two different servers to do replication?Please advise!Thanks!DotNetNow

SQL Server 7.0 Replication
May 17, 2002I have Replication working on 2 servers running SQL Server 7.0 with SP3. I am replicating select tables from 3 databases using Transactional Replication. I setup P1 as the publisher and the home for the distribution database and P2 is the Subscriber. I setup a push subscription to P2. It is working fine. Just one issue. On P2, I don't have Replication Monitor and I'm not sure why. We just installed SP3 on these two servers. In order to do this on a Clustered environment, we were forced to drop replication and then re-add it after installed the SP. After all this was done, I re-added replication and now P2 does not display Replication Monitor.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks,

I need to replicate a certain table from the SQL Server Data Base on NT to the AS/400 (as subscriber). It is only one way, and I know that some product by starsql will probably work.
I do not know the details and am a little foggy about them. Can someone point me to an source of information on the sharing of data between NT and AS/400?
