Is it possible to create Merge Replication between two server running on Windows XP(SP2).
Why i ask this, as i am trying to do so, but got the error
"The process could not connect to Distributor",
As i already change the login for these two services for "local system" to with Administrative permisstions, but noting seem good for me.. getting the same error.)
when i googling around this, what i find, i need the Domain Account to login to as the services (SQL SERVER & SQL AGENT) one. is it so i need the domain controler for the this ????
How can i create a domain account, without PDC (primary domain controller).
or
so help me out, is there any boby who setup the same???
if so help me.... or ..... any other solution or hint to do so
I developed a mobile application (CF 2.0) that uses merge replication to synchronize data between SQL Server Mobile and SQL Server 2000 SP4. The application uses asynchronous synchronization (BeginSynchronize method) to initiate the replication and update the user about the progress. The application worked perfectly on PPC2003 and Windows CE .Net 4.2 platformes.
The problem started when I moved it to WM5 platform. We're using Symbol MC70 devices.
When I start the replication for the first time it synchronizes without a problem. If I perform additional synchronizations(updates) it synchronizes without a problem. If I exit the application and start it again the sync process hangs when I try to synchronize it(to deliver updates).
I have a windows mobile 5.0 application that syncronises with SQL Sever 2005 (Merge Replication). The replication works fine without SSL. But when using SSL it doesn't work .On the device i get an error
28037, A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed.
I have created a a Wild Card Certificate (*.domain-name.net) using Microsoft Certificate Services (Stand Alone) and setup the replication website with replication virtual directory under it , in IIS, to use this certificate. The host header for the replication site is set to "sql.domain-name.net". I have binded the host headers to the port as well.
I can access the https://sql.domain-name.net/replication/sqlcesa30.dll from remote computer and device and it says Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition Server Agent, that means it is setup correctly.
I have installed the certificate authority and its wild card certificate on the device Root Certificates. Now when I call repl.syncrhonise() from device .. it throws exception with error 28037, A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed.
which i think means, it can't find the service url.
I am not sure what is the problem..something to do with Trust - SSL certificates... Is there any thing i am missing ?
We have setup a 32-bit IIS server on a 32-bit machine. Installed necessary SQL Server components (32-bit replication components). We have installed SQL Server 2005 64-bit SP1 with latest hotfixes on a 64-bit machine.
On the Mobile device we installed SQL Server 2005 Mobile.
When we start mergereplication the problem we have is error 28009 (An instance of the SQL Server Reconciler cannot be created) on the mobile device. I read allot about it, but still have a questetion.
Should this work?
I found the doc: SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Technical Resource Guide: Note: If your upgrade involves SQL Server CE subscribers, you must perform additional actions on the IIS server. You will need to install SQL Server 2005 client connectivity components along with SQL Server Mobile Edition components on the IIS server. You will also have to replace sqlcesa30.dlll, sqlcerp30.dll, and all the replication components on the IIS server.
From this I conclude it should work or is the doc in error?
If it does not, what can we do?
32-bit SQL Server 2005 on the 64-bit machine should work. (Can a 64-bit SQL Server 2005 run alongside 32-bit SQL Server 2005?).
I have a problem when i start sincronyzing with the emulator of MSVS2005 to SQL2005 in Windows Vista. I have the same program in the emulator, but sincronyzing with windows XP Pro and no problem...
"Failure to connect to SQLServer with provided connection information. SQL Server does not exist, access is denied because the IIS user is not a valid user on the SQL Server, or the password is incorrect"
I don't understand why I am having this error. It does create the database on AddSubscription() method but it is failing opening the database on Synchronise(). I have also tried uninstalling and then reinstalling all the SQL Mobile components in the following order.
I know that adding a column using ALTER TABLE to add a column automatically allows SQLSERVER 2005 to replicate the schema changes to the subscribers, however, I would like to add a new column to an existing article that is being used for merge replication, however, I don't want this column to be replicated. Re-initialising the subscriptions is not a option. Help would be appreciated.
I am working on bringing our disaster recovery site to be a live site. Currently we replicate to one of out servers (server B) with merge replication (from server A). Server A also does one way transactional replication form some table to several other servers including servers at the DR site.
This setup is not going to be fast enough for what we need so I am wondering if a table is receiving merge replication will the merge updates also replicate down the transaction path??
Example... Server B update a row and merges to Server A. With this update them replicate (via transactional) to Server C??
Hi everbody, I setup the Merge Replication , it is working perfectly. But i have one problem now it is updating both ways. I nedd one way. Any body tell me which parameter i have to change.
My production box is running on NT4.0,SP6, SQL Server7.0,SP2. We implemented Merge replication. Working fine last 7 months. Last weekend i disabled replication, Successfully removed Distributor and Publishor. After that try add new fileds but won't allowed me. It's give the error message. I Also found Some Conflict_tables found almost 20 tables. All system Tables. Can delete these these tables, if i delete any problem my database. I added filelds many times but this time i got errors.
I have just installed replication on our production server to Merge Replicate with a Laptop server that will travel from time to time. I have now noticed that we cannot add or change any fields or attributes on the tables which are being replicated (which are all tables in the DB). This is a problem because we are changing and adding columns all of the time. Is there a way around this issue like shutting down the replication service or something? I have been unsuccessful in finding a way around this other than removing replication while we make changes.
I have implemented a Merger replication on our development server and I get a fillowing error when I try to update one of the table in publisher. "Transaction cannot start while in firehose mode"
Hi, I read some where that replication has two types conflict resolution, 1. row based and 2. Column based... If I am right... Can any one point me how to find out this option and how to set it up....
I have a merge replication going between 4 servers. The problem is when ever I do some BCP transfer to one of the tables in one of the servers. It puts the data in that table. But that Data does not get replicated to any other server like it should.
Please Advice on what to do. Is there any option I am forgetting to set or something.
I have successfully tried merge replication on single server with 2 databases. now i want to do the same with different servers, when i create pull subcription on server 2 which user account should I use? it is giving log in failure i tried using windows admin account and also the 'sa' account.
I have posted this earlier and I am re-posting it simplifying what I had said.
The scenario is:
I have two sql server database instances with the same database schema and all. However, both of them have different data. I have not set them for replication at all. Now, I want to do merge replication between them such that the data between them could be syncronized.
When I do pull merge subscription I have two choices - 1.Bringing schema and data to subscriber from publisher
2.Not bringing the schema and data from publisher to subscriber.
Obviously, I chose the second choice. But upon syncronizing I dont see any data from publisher coming to subscriber and vice-versa. If I add new data to publisher and do syncronization, I can see ONLY the new data created after the replication setup in subscriber. If I add new data to subscriber and do syncronization then the new data is removed from subscriber and not propagated to publisher.
I have just set up Merge replication, I have two servers, server A and server B, the merge replication worked successfully but I don't quite sure which databases should or should not replicated? If not, what other methods should I use?
I would really appreciated any comments or advice out there!
I had set up merge replication. I got these error messages where replications starts "Column names in each table must be unique. Column name 'PubID' in table 'bonflict_DBName_PHP_Data_Publications' is specified more than once "

Is it possible to modify or add new fields in sql 2000 when the instance became publisher ? I tried it several times but it failed. I access microsoft website but i did not help.
SQL Server BOL says merge replication can be done in only one direction. But my understanding is Merge replication happens in both ways between publisher and subscriber.
How can i allow data movement from only wince sql ce subscribers and not from publisher running sql 2000 and win 2k.
Please reply immediately bcoz i require a solution which has to be implemented very soon.
hi, in merge replication,i make a request subscriber with a priority 25.00,when i update the same date,it always choose the update from the publishing server,why????how does it work??? thx inadvance

I am in a process of learning Replication in MSDE, especially Merge Replication
Server runs on MS-XP Professional -------------------------------------- I have a sample Access project 'ReplTest' which has only table with only 2 columns. DatabaseName:ReplTestDB Table Name :TestTable MSDE Instance Name:SVRMYINSTANCE
Now I would like to know how I can configure this database for merge replication using SQL-DMO
Laptop runs on MS-XP Professional -------------------------------------- I have another access project which is running on computer 2 and connected to the ReplicaTest database.
MSDE Instance Name:LPTMYINSTANCE
My task is, when I am disconnected from server I would like to have a local copy of the database to work with and then, when reconnected, need synchronization with the server database and continue working from server database.
How to write this replication process from scratch using SQL-DMO objects in both Server computer and Laptop computer.
I dont have enterprise manager in both computers since they use only MSDE
Hi, I have a problem when doing merge replication. I need to have a identity column on both the publisher and subscriber, eg id. When the publisher is down, my app will now reference to the subscriber and insert into the subscriber. However when the publisher is up, the app will reference to publisher and start to insert into the publisher. This will cause conflict in the id. Also, i need the id to be in running order, therefore i cant use range for publisher and subscriber. Anyone have idea how to solve this problem?
I am having a problem getting my merge replication to work out. I am wanting to make it where the merge happens on demand. I have tried to run replmerg through cmd prompt and I get the error 'The subscription to publication [namehere] has expired or does not exist.' I have had no problems running the merge agent within Enterprise Manager. I have thought of running windows sync manager but I do not want my people to have to type a password in everytime they need to sync. I am running the whole replication process through FTP. I am in desperate need of help. Anything would be great!
I have merge replication setup between 2 servers and the subscriber had been offline for about 24 hours due to a network outage. What would be the best and easiest way to resynch the data. Would my best bet be a reinitialization or should I start a new snapshop and reapply. Also can I start a snapshot while users are using the publishing database?
I've tried to configure merge replication between SQL2005 and SQL Express use Web synchronize but the status of subcription is always uninitialized although I reinitialized it. Could you tell me the way to start it ? Thank so much.
Hi I am looking at SQL Replication and merge replication seems like the solution as I have 30 Remote offices who will all add data to their data bases and sync that data back to a central office. The central office will then use the "whole" data for reporting etc.
I am trying to figure out if I need static or dynamic filtering. I only want to filter horizontally on values found in a column called 'office' This value will be an integer that represents the different remote offices. But after reading through documentation I am still unclear as to whether I can do this with static filters. Any help/advice appreciated.
