Merge Replication Error While Applying Snapshot

Jun 24, 2006

Hi,

i am getting the below error while applying running the Synchronization agent for the Subscriber. I have created replication topology with one central server and one subscriber. Here central server has windows server 2003 and subscriber has windows XP. Both are having SQL server 2005. After creating the merge subscriber, i am runnnig the Synchronization agent manually for the first time. While running that i am getting below error. Anybody aware of this error.

Applying The Snapshot For Merge Rep Fails Everytime Because Connection Is Reset?

May 14, 2007

Hi guys, Im desperately hoping someone here can help me. Ive been trying to set up merge replication between 2 servers all weekend and it keeps failing. Im setting this up as follows
The Publisher/Distributor is a SQL Server 2005 machine, the database being replicated is 4gb, and the only subscriber is a SQL Server 2000 SP4 machine. I set up my publication normally, and set up the push subscription, adn set it to initialize immediately. It weill then start bulk copying and go on for about 3-4 hours before it fails and gives me the errors:

Error messages:

When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201001)

This is driving me crazy as I havent slept in ages trying to get this fixed. Anyone have any idea whats going on? Its always one of 2 tables so far that keep failing, ContactLog and Content, what can I do?

Snapshot For Merge Replication Error: Discover Dependencies Failed

Mar 1, 2006

I'm converting an existing production replication process to SQL 2005 for testing. My snapshot for a merge replication is failing.

Environment: Single XP server, no filters, @schema_option = 0x000000000C034DD1

I have several snapshot jobs in my process, 2 for transactional replication and 2 for merge replications. In both types, I'm replicating from A to B and then from B to C. In the failing job, I'm merge replicating from B to C. In this failing snapshot job, the error messages are:

Does anyone have an idea what I could look for to try and fix this?

The A to B snapshot obviously uses the same tables. My snapshot for merge job (which worked) messages for the A to B snapshot are:

Invalid Column Name 'rowguid'. Error When Generating Snapshot For Merge Replication SQL Server 2005

May 15, 2007

Hi there,



I have setup merge replication which successfully synchronizes with a group of desktop users using SQL Compact Edition.



However now I have setup Article Filters and when I attempt to regenerate the snapshot I get the following error:



Invalid column name 'rowguid'.

Failed to generate merge replication stored procedures for article 'AssignedCriteria'.



When I look at publication properties at the Articles page.. All my tables have the rowguid uniqueidentifier successfully added to tables and selected as a compulsory published column, apart from the table above "AssignedCriteria".. Even when I attempt to select this column in the article properties page and press ok, when I come back it is deselected again. ( The Rowguid column is however physically added to the table)



I have scripted the publication SQL and then totally reinstalled from scratch, including the database but for some reason it doesn't like this table. I remove the article filters, but still this "rowguid" is never "selected" in article properties.



We are using Uniqueidentifiers in other columns as well for historical reasons, but this doesn't appear to be a problem in other tables..



DDL For this problematic table is as follows



CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AssignedCriteria](

[AssignedCriteria] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,

[CriteriaName] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,

[TargetScore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,

[HRPlan] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

[ActualScore] [numeric](18, 0) NULL,

[Criteria] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

[Employee] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

[IsActive] [bit] NULL,

[addDate] [datetime] NULL,

[totalscore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,

[isCalc] [bit] NULL,

[Weight] [decimal](18, 2) NULL,

[ProfileDetail] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [MSmerge_df_rowguid_7FF25DF903B6415FBFF24AC954BC88E4] DEFAULT (newsequentialid()),

CONSTRAINT [PK_AssignedCriteria] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

(

[AssignedCriteria] ASC

)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]



Thanks.

Replication Failing While Applying Snapshot As The Stored Procs Are Out Of Sync

Aug 28, 2007

Replication is failing while applying the snapshot as the stored procs are out of sync ( the objects referenced in the stored procedures are no more exists in the database) . Is there any easy way to identify the out of sync procedures so that I can exclude these stored procedures from the articles list. I am having around 1000 procs and is not possible to test them by executing.

Thanks in advance.

Replication :: Merge Agent Not Applying Transactions In Bulk On First Initialization Of A Subscriber

May 12, 2015

We have a filtered publisher (SQL Server 2012) with several pull and push subscriptions that have been functioning fine for years.

We have just added a new pull subscriber from a remote server.  We configured an alternate folder location on the subscriber (pointing to existing path on a remote server).  We generated new snapshot and partitioned snapshot, and moved to subscribing server at alternate path.We're seeing a problem we've never seen before:

When the merge agent runs, it applies the schema and performs a few hundred bulk inserts, but then proceeds to 'download changes to subscriber' as though the snapshot is old (it is brand new and should have all transactions).  We have never seen this before, i.e. all data is usually applied in bulk when creating a new or reinitializing an existing subscriber.

we marked the subscriber for re-initialization (from both the publishing and subscribing server) with a fresh set of snapshots.  The same problem occurred.We have also tried in our test environment (which mirrors production) and the snapshot applies as expected (via bulk inserts).

(It might be relevant to note the publisher was recently upgraded in-place from 2005 to 2012.)

Problem When Applying A Snapshot When Tables Have Been Updated During Snapshot Generation

Jun 20, 2007

Hi

I seem to have a strange problem when applying a snapshot when the tables in the publication have been updated while the snapshot was being generated.



Say for example there is a table called RMAReplacedItem in the publication. When the snapshot starts being applied to the subscriber, a stored procedure called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedItem_msrepl_css gets created that handles an insert if the row already exists (ie it updates the row rather than inserting it). However, after all the data has been loaded into the tables, instead of calling this procedure, it tries to call one called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedIte_msrepl_cssm - it takes the last letter of the table name and adds it to the end of the procedure name.



The worst part is that this causes the application of the snapshot to fail, but it doesnt report what the error is, and instead it just tries applying the snapshot again. The only way i have managed to find which call is failing is to run profiler against the subscriber while the snapshot is being applied and see what errors.



I have run sp_broswereplcmds and the data in there is what is applied to the subscriber - ie the wrong procedure name.



All the servers involved are running sql 2005 service pack 2. The publisher and subscriber were both upgraded from sql 2000, but the distribution server is a fresh install of sql 2005.

Creating A Snapshot For Merge Replication

Feb 14, 2006

I'm trying to test merge replication, but am unable to create the publication, the snapshot agent keeps failing. The error I get from replication monitor is "Script failed for Table <tablename>"

Our database has quite a few XML datatype columns, when I take out the xml columns the snapshot succeeds OK, but fails with the xml column.

I created a simple table containing a varchar column and xml column. I created this table in our database, and in Adventure Works. Was able to create a publication with this test table in the adventureworks database, but was unable to create publication with this table in our database. The snapshot failed with error "Script failed for table testtable". I removed the xml column on the test table in our database and was able to create the publication successfully. Creating a publication in the adventureworks database with an xml column has no problems, but does in our database.

Anyone have any ideas?

Merge Replication And Snapshot Isolation

May 30, 2006

I was reading at the following page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsql2k/html/sql_replmergepartitioned.asp

When SQL Server accesses the data in a table, it locks the data for the duration of the process to ensure the transactional consistency of the data during the process.

I was wondering if it is possible to take advantage of snapshot isolation to allow me to avoid these locks?

Issues Deploying Snapshot For Merge Replication.

Apr 6, 2007

I'm having issues setting up merge replication and the errors I'm getting are inconsistent but lead me to believe there is a bigger underlying issue than what they actually indicate.



Issue: unable to initialise subscriber with snapshot for merge replication. Fails for various reasons regardless of environment and setup. Previously this has deployed fine but now it is not.



Publisher is SQL 2005 (9.0.2047), Subscribers are SQLExpress or SQL Dev



The various errors I get are as follows:

These come mixed together generally...
Unable to INSERT ... cannot insert NULL into column rowguid. [This error comes up on different tables for different snapshots, including ones with no records]
bcp (Bulk Copy) error 20253
batch send failed
Unspecified error
Failed to send batch after max errors
end of file reached, terminator missing or field data incomplete

Actions I have taken so far, all to no effect:

Adjusted Agent Profile to increase timeout values and decrease packet sizes
Took new snapshots (tables where errors occured changed but still ame errors)
Created a local subscription database on the server to remove any network related issues (using merge sync over VPN)
Deleted and recreated Publication
Created second publication with different articles on same database to find same errors in different locations again

I've tried reinitializing subscriptions (before subscribers were dropped and I tried recreating) but the DROP command fails due to FK constraints so if I reinitialize any subscriptions they will fail to be applied. Have tried editing the properties to just delete data and not drop tables but that still failed.



I've tried setting up subscriber without snapshot - created publication and snapshot, backed up db, copied to subscriber and restored there. See this article: https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=689428&SiteID=1 This bloke suffered same results and the response from MS was to change the help files, not functionality. Doesn't help us dealing with subscribers via satellite AND unable to deploy snapshots...



I've checked the service pack releases to see if any issues like this are addressed and found nothing relevent.



My gut feeling is that the snapshot is not being generated correctly for some reason - system stored procedure errors perhaps.



So far my experience with replication has been good, with the odd issue or frustrating limitation in older versions, but this is really killing me...

Snapshot Agent Fails For Merge Replication Publication

Nov 9, 2006

I'm trying to setup merge replication and get the following error from the snapshot agent after I've finished the 'New Publication Wizard'. This doesn't make sense to me as it is an automatic process. Also, it looks like it is complaining about a 'dbo.MSmerge_cont...' view which is a view created automatically for the merge publication.

SQL Server 2008 :: Changing Alt Snapshot Folder For Merge Replication?

Sep 22, 2015

I have a merge replication. Currently works fine. Publisher & Distributor are on the same server. I need to change the location of the alternate folder for the snapshot files.

I’ll probably just change it through the GUI, but would I use sp_changedistpublisher or sp_changemergepublication if I were scripting everything?

My real concern is the subscribers. Do I have to ‘tell’ the subscribers where the alt folder has been changed to? Do I just run sp_changemergepullsubscription on the subscribers?

Problem After Applying Snapshot Publication To Subscriber

Jul 13, 2006

Hello all,

I have a unusual problem with a snapshot publication that I am having a hard time troubleshooting. The servers in question are all SQL 05 Enterprise. Here is the scenario:

Staging Server - This server acts as the publisher of the snapshot
Production Server - This server is the subscriber of the staging snapshot
Cascade Servers - These servers receive transactional updates from the production server

The staging server applies the snapshot to production successfully. From there the production server has a transactional publication which the subscribers are the cascade servers.

This model worked for a long time where we would generate the snapshot apply it to production and the updates would be sent to the cascade servers. All of a sudden there is a problem with the transactional publication from production -> cascade. There are 7-10 tables that do not receive the updates and all data in the problematic tables is truncated. The other remaining tables in the subscription receive the updates as needed. Looking at replication monitor and all other logs shows that the transactions are being replicated, but yet the 7-10 problematic tables do not contain any data. The only solution I have found for this is to recreate the entire replication model from scratch.

Any advice on how to handle this scenario? Is my model for using a transactional publication to cascade changes to a subset of servers incorrect?

Not Applying The Initial Snapshot When Setting Up Tran Repl.

Jul 20, 2005

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

Bulk Copy Error With Snapshot Replication

Feb 4, 2002

I'm running SQL 7.0 SP3 on two different machines (one with additional hotfixes). I'm taking a nightly snapshot of imported data on Server1 and pushing it out to another SQL 7.0 server on our network, Server2. All but one table is copied successfully. On the final table, I receive the message, "The process could not bulk copy into table '"%"'."
Error Information Category: Data Source, Source: Server2, Number 4813.

Full error message: "Expected the text length in data stream for bulk copy of text, ntext, or image data."

I've looked up 4813, but it's pretty ambiguous/generic. Also, when I SELECT from Server1 and INSERT INTO Server2 in the QA, I receive no errors. Does anyone have any insight?

SQL 2005 SP2 - Unexpected Results With Snapshot Replication - Should Get An Error

Jun 25, 2007

I am using snapshot replication to copy data from one database to another. I truncate the destination table first. The publisher and the subscriber are different databases on the same server. The data turns into 1 unrecognizable row.



Here is what the source table looks like:
displayTypeID, displayType
1, Title List Formats
2, Title Details
3, Title List Export
4, Pricing Notes
5, clone Mask 001
6, clone Mask 002
7, clone Mask 004
8, clone Mask 008
9, hide From Admin
10, not Common Attr
11, Insert Title
12, title Types



The resulting data looks like this:
DisplayType, displayTypeId
, 1660953600
I see no errors in replication and nothing in the source table looks like bad data that could cause such a malady. I see the problem on two different servers now and identified the source of the problem, the column order is reversed in the source and destination tables. The data types do not even match so I would at the very least expect an error from bcp.

Merge Replication Error

Replication-Replication Merge Subsystem: agent TRPSQL3-ThomsonResearch-TR Pub-TRPSQL2-4 failed. The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have been unable to create or write to the message file. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history log

I am getting the above error in Merge Replication. any one having any idea pls let me know.

Thanks & Regards,

Merge Replication Error

Aug 25, 2006

In Merge Replication, I am not able to replicate one table having more than 5 GB data to the subscriber. If I have filter on the table I am able to do. I couldn't understand the problem? Any one having any idea on the same?

For your information.

I have 1.7GB free space in C drive. Is it a space problem in C drive? Actually my data base is storing in E drive. It has 30GB free space. But Sql Server installed in D drive it has 2 GB free space.

Thanks in advance

Kasi.

SQL 2000 Merge Replication Error

Apr 27, 2006

I have a merge replication publication that has been running for
months. This week the Snapshot started failing, reporting that an
article was not included in the publication. I checked and found
3 articles that mysteriously no longer show up as being in the
publication. When I attempt to add them it reports that it can't
add them because there is already an article by that name in the
publication. Apparently some table has lost its rows for these
articles while another table(s) still has its rows.



Has anyone had this problem? Is there a solution short of
dropping the publication and starting over - a solution that would
literally take weeks for us?



Thanks for any help.
