Merge Replication Subscription Doubles In Size

Jan 29, 2008

I made a DDL change to a published table. To do this, I had to remove the table from the article, modify two field sizes, save the table, and then add the table back to the publication. I did have to rerun the snapshot agent after this even though the new article is exactly the same (yes, I understand all rowguids are dropped and recreated).


So, at the subscription, I begin synchronization and it replicates every article, thus doubling the size of the subscription .sdf file. yes, it can be compacted and it cuts it back in half.

Question is how to prevent this behavior? Is it possible to create the rowguid before publishing the table/article and that way even if you go back and make a schema change that requires republishing you can avoid the nasty behavior of producing a new snapshot and and a doubling of subscription database size?

This particular merge publication is read-only. Every article is marked as 'download only.'

Ideally if schema change is needed to one table, I only want that table/article to require reinitialization.
Actually, if its a simple change like expanding a varchar by some chars I'd like to not have to republish the article at all.
keep dreaming?

Does anyone have advice as choosing between merge replication and updatable subscriptions? I've read the documentaion, they seem to offer the same functionality, and I don't see any clear guidelines as to why to pick one over the other...any suggestions would be appreciated!

Merge Replication - Uninitialized Subscription

May 7, 2007

I have created a Merge Subscription between two databases. I have set the security setting in the UNC folder of the publisher to allow 'Full Control' for 'Everyone'.

I have done various searches, google, here, etc. But cant seem to find much information to help me out.

When I create the subscription it says it was a success, but when I launch the replication monitor and click the publication it says its subscribers are uninitialized.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Replication: Remove Merge Subscription Without Existing Publisher?

Feb 26, 2004

Hi all,
I'm a rather newbie, not only to this forum but also to sql server having a question to the following issue:
Is it possible to drop/remove/delete the "orphan" of a merge subscription on one instance of sql server without having the (former) distributor/publisher (on other instance) available?
The background is: I had a small replication infrastructure with two instances (on two machines), one the publisher and distributor, the other the subscriber. Now it happened that the publisher/distributor machine was completely set up new without having the replication dropped in advance, what remained on the subscriber is now a database with all the merge/replication tables and the guid columns in the user tables.
Moreover this, an entry remained in the subscription saying that a subscription with the former publisher exists...

Can I remove these "orphans" without having to setup the instance again?

Thank you,
Andy

SQL 2012 :: Initializing Subscription With Web Synchronization (merge Replication)

May 9, 2015

I'm trying out a set up as following:

SQL Server 2008 standard as the publisher
SQL Server 2012 express as the subscriber

and I tend to use web synchronization; there is no domain trust.

After following the instructions at MSDN for configuring web synchronization, I have an error that I can't get past - after creating the initial snapshot on the publisher, I try to run replmerg.exe at the subscriber and I always get this error:

"The subscription to publication 'TestReplication' has expired or does not exist."

If I refresh the publisher's "Local Publications" and look within the "TestReplication", it does show that the subscriber is a known subscriber. Likewise, if I refresh subscriber's "Local Subscription", it has an entry for TestReplication publication.

I already verified that the user used by Replisapi.dll has the read permission to the snapshot folder, is a member of PAL, is db_owner of the publishing database and distribution database. I am using self-signed certificate for this test and I have already installed the certificate at the subscriber machine so that HTTPS is trusted. I can run diagnosis from subscriber so I know subscriber can reach and logs are being left at the publisher's IIS.

SQL 2005 Mobile Merge Replication Size Limits?

Feb 8, 2006

I am in the process of testing a SQL 2005 Std x64 server with merge replication using Windows Mobile 5.0 clients and SQL 2005 Mobile. The test DB is a copy of the currently active DB, but has been expanded to include some new tables to support planned application functionality extensions.

Once the publication exceeds 97 Articles, the error is thrown that "The buffer pool is too small or there are too many open cursors". If I drop one article everything is fine. I ran a test with dummy DB that had 100 blank tables, and this initialized just fine on the client. The additional articles I am publishing (the 98th table) is also empty, but it throws the error anyway.

Is there a limit on the total size/number of changes that can be sent? Since I have run tests sending over 64,000 changes to a client during initialization this does not seem to be the case (I am only attempting a little more than 9,700 changes on this initialization).

Some other ideas that have been tested without success are to stop the user triggers from propagating, and toggling the AWE setting for SQL. The Replication Monitor does say the client completes replication, and it seems to choke at the very end of completing replication when it attempts to write to the tracking tables. The last successful action is sys.sp_MSadd_merge_history90, and it appears to be acting on the last table added to the publication.

There does not appear to be a limit on the number or articles, since I can publish more articles in a dummy DB than I am able here, so it seems to be something to do with size. Any information would be helpful, this is a very frustrating issue. Thanks!

Merge Process Could Not Initialize The Subscription

Jul 19, 2007

I am experiencing some replication problems. I have a test server with a test database which has been working just fine with some simple Merge Replication. That old server is now been targeted for decommissioning. I have moved the test database to another test server and have set everything conceivable up the same as it was on the prior server but I am experiencing errors that I have not been able to resolve. I am using the same Domain User account with the same privileges on both systems...



The first error I receive in my SQL Server error logs is:



Message

Rapidly followed by the following error message:



Message

From within the Replication Monitor I look into the subscription and I can see the following error message:

Merge 2005 - A Row From This Table Will Go To Only One Subscription

Jul 31, 2007

Hello everyone.

We've been using replication since a while now and I just discovered that some user are not getting all the data they should. Let me explain the way the whole thing is configured for us.

We have a few tables that are replicated using the Merge process with filtering on the data using SUSER_SNAME() function. My users are salesrep using Laptop and they are synchronizing on demand. The merge process is configured so that a row will go to only one subscription --> Each rep has their owns customers and related tables informations.

I noticed that some users do not have locally all data (from their customers) from some tables while they should. I didn't checked in details but it is possible that these users are new reps replacing other staff that left the company. Is it possible that the data they do not receive is marked as to be previous reps owner because the replication is set as "A row from this table will go to only one subscription" ? The new rep uses the same laptop, therefore the exactly same computer name, only the username changes.

Because of this, now I'm having a bunch of conflicts when replicating because we're generating some ID based on existing data when the user enter new records in some tables; since the data is not sitting locally for them, the ID generated is not the proper one and we now have two identical ID (one on the server and one locally) which cause the conflicts to occurs.

Any helps would be appreciated. Thanks.

SQLEXPRESS Merge Pull Subscription

Feb 2, 2007

Hi all I have a question,

I am trying to enable a replication process between a SQL 2005 server and sqlexpress instances and i run into the following problem.

On the publisher a subscription (sp_addmergesubscription) is added for each 'machine' that participates in the replication. Is there a way to get around this?

Because when we distribute the installation we dont know all the machine names. I have made the publication accesible for anynymous access. But when the replication script is installed on the client ,the Error message that the subscription does not exists appears.

The only difference between the instal script for the client is that we do not add a sp_addmergesubscription on the server. Is it possible to let SQL server make an subscription when the client connects for the first time?



To summarize my question: Is there a way to enable the replication with only running a script on the client and not on the server?

If i need to explain it more in detail , just let me know and ill try

Sync'ing A Merge Subscription Before Removal.

Feb 15, 2006

Hi,

is there a way to ensure a merge subscription is synchronised before it is removed from the publisher using SMO? - (it is a push subscription)

I thought I had it as there is a MergeSynchronizationAgent object on the SubscriptionDatabase object, but calling Synchronize() on this throws an exception saying it can't contact the publisher.

Any help would be really appreciated, thanks.

SQL 2012 :: Relocating Log File Of Merge Subscription Database?

I need to move the log file of a disk and onto another disk. The log belongs to a merge subscription database.

I was going to stop/disable the merge jobs on the distributor, detach the database, move the log file to another drive, reattach, and enable the merge jobs on the distributor.

Does that sound ok, or should I employ some other method.

Programmatically Reinitializing Merge Subscription From Publisher - SQL 2005

Sep 4, 2007

From the SSMS GUI it is possible to re-initialize one or all subscriptions to a merge publication. This is done at the publisher.

How can I achieve these operations programmatically?

In particular, how do I initialize a single merge subscription from the publisher?


I have looked at the documentation for sp_reinitmergepullsubscription but it says that this proc must be run at the subscriber - which isn't much use when subscribers are disconnected for the majority of the time

I have a large number of merge subscribers and want to reinitialize all except one

Limit File Size Of Subscription Reports

I have a report subscription this is generating PDF files. The end user of the PDF files requires these files to be below a certain threshold in file size. Is there any way to set up a subscription to generate files that are under the threshold size?

If I knew approximately how many records would generate a report below the threshold, is there a way to generate several reports all of which are below the threshold?

Problem Downloading The Snapshot Agent In A Merge Pull Subscription.

Hello.

I've been having an error when downloading the snapshot agent from our Publisher.

The articles selected are all the tables and all the stored procedures.

The Subscription is created programmatically and so is the synchronization. When trying to synchronize for the first time and when the subscriber tries to download the snapshot I have the following error:

The snapshot folder is at c:GESZifSnapshotFolder and the unc is \AfroditeSnapshot.

Replication - Subscription Inactive, Why ?

I have a snapshot & a transcation publication on Server A, and a pull subscription for each on Server B.

The distribution agent on ServerA has the error:

"The subscription(s) have been marked inactive and must be reinitialized. NoSync subscriptions will need to be dropped and recreated."

Any idea what caused this ..... Everything was fine for a week or so.

Does anyone know of any good books or publications on Replication ? I've got some DBA books that cover the basics, but I'd like something that helps explain the oddball situations.

I have setup a pull subscription on the subscriber for transactional replication. The distribution job continues to run, but doesn't do anything because it says: The initial snapshot for publication 'man4' is not yet available.

How can I tell if the snapshot is running, and can I see the snapshot where it was created?

Replication Question - Updatable Subscription?

Apr 11, 2006

Hi all,

I am planning replication around a large SQL Database Server; 3 databases need to be replicated for reporting purposes.

My plan was to use Transaction Replication, as the Reporting database will be mostly read-only. However, we must add a whole bunch of additional, historical data to some of the tables of the reporting database that does not exist in the Publisher. I understand that changes can be made to subscriptions in Transaction Replication scenarios, ideally when the changes are few and far between. (Merge replication is excessive for our purposes.)

I don't want the additional historical data to be propagated back to the publisher. Is it possible that data is written to a subscriber in a Transactional Replication scenario without writing these updates to the Publisher? Given the nature of the data, there will not be conflicts between the historical data and the new changes applied from the publisher.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Faraz
