i have created a publication whereas i have provided a network path to its snapshop folder e.g ( \serverfolder ) at time of creating. When i try to make a Pull Subscription and follow all steps of wizards, it gives me following error "The initial snapshot for publication '---' is not yet available". can you guide me what are causes of this problem and how may i solve it?
Thanks for help.

When I am trying to synchronize my sql server ce database with sql server 2000, I am getting this error in the Replication Monitor and Synchronization gets fail.
How to Create initial snapshot or is there any step by step configuration document available for Merge Replication with SQL server 2000 and sql ce.
Hi,
I'm merge replicating between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Compact on mobile devices. I recently had a problem with reinitialization of subscriber databases (please see my previous post, no responses yet...) which I couldn't resolve and had to get 15 subscribers to backup their dbs so I could manually restore each one onto the server. Most of the subscribers were able (yesterday) to then delete their local dbs, create new db files and sync with a snapshot. Today I'm trying to sync a new db with a newly created snapshot and getting the following errors:
2007/08/29 16:23:17 Thread=1118 RSCB=67 Command=SCHK Hr=8004563C An error occurred while reading the .bcp data file for the 'MSmerge_rowtrack' article. If the .bcp file is corrupt, you must regenerate the snapshot before initializing the Subscriber. -2147199428
2007/08/29 16:23:17 Thread=1118 RSCB=67 Command=SCHK Hr=80045017 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 logging and specify an output file to which to write. -2147201001
The only difference from yesterday is that there was a server restart this morning. I have regenerated the snapshot but it still doesn't work. This is only affecting users with new (empty) databases, users who regenerated their dbs yesterday can sync ok.
I have read other posts about folder/file permissions affecting snapshot delivery, but there have been no changes to permissions since successful snapshot deliveries yesterday.
I would really appreciate any help with this. At the moment I have 3 users who can't use the system at all.
Regards,
Greg
Hello folks,
I am trying to set up replication between a central office and multiple sites. This will be merge repl, since either central or satellites can be modified. However, one issue I ran into is setting up subscribers. I don't always have the option of starting with a publisher's snapshot; some of the subscribers have their own data already, which may or may not overlap with central site, and which needs to be synchronized into the central site somehow.
So far, I haven't seen any solution for this kind of scenario, at least nothing out of the box. Am I doomed to having to roll out custom data transfers (I don't think I can use DTS since all sites are running Express), or is there some standard way of doing this?
Thanks so much!

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

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.
Hi,
I have been using a licensed copy of Visual Studio 2005 and MS SQLServer 2005 for some time but am only now trying out the Reporting Services functionality.
I have attempted to follow the instructions from url:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/usingssrswithsqlexpress.mspx
However despite confirming that the report services are running and also checking the configuration by following the information in the above web page I still get the following problems.
1. When attempting to create a project via the wizard I get the following error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. If an attempt is made to add a new data source I am unable to choose the data source type (eg: Microsoft SQL Server). I am not given a choice for the type, in fact the relevant drop down is blank.
2. A project can be created without the wizard but if I right click the Shared Data Source folder I do not see the next Pop up to set the data source parameters.
I assume I am missing something quite fundamental - however so far I cannot see what.
Thanks in advance for any advice...

We had a runaway query which built the size of tempdb to 24000mb. Then someone changed the unrestricted file growth property to restricted growth while the size was 24000mb. Now I can not reduce the initial size. I have set the property back to unrestricted file growth. I have shrunk the tempdb and available space is almost 24000mb. I have stopped sqlserver. I even deleted the existing tempdb.mdf & tempdb.ldf files. But when SQL server is restarted, the initial size is set to 24000mb. It will not let me reduce the size. Is there anything short of manipulating the system tables to reduce the size back to 500mb?

I need to display the middle initial from a name field that contains the last name, comma, and the middle name or initial.
Example data:
Jane,Smith Ron
John,Dow L
Mary Jane,Dow Welsh
The result I am looking for is to capture only the first letter of the middle name. In this data example, I would need to display the following on a separate column:
R
L
W
-- I have a first name field that sometimes contains only the first name,
-- sometimes contains the first name and the middle initial, and
-- sometimes contains the first name, a space, followed by NMI (for no middle initial)
-- how do I correctly grab the first letter of the middle initial in all cases?
-- I have been playing with patindex but its harder than I thought. guess I need a case
-- statement in addition to this. Any idea how I can do this?

Hi
I'm not a sql server savvy, so I need assistance on the following two scenarios:
A customer runs a script like this (slightly larger, but I ripped away the meat)
---------------------------------------
create database test_database
go
USE [test_database]
exec sp_changedbowner 'sa'
use master;
go
sp_grantlogin 'server01CUSTOM_ADMIN';
go
use test_database;
go
-- lots of table creations, where one of the tables are TEST_TABLE
sp_addrole 'ADMIN_ROLE';
Go
sp_grantdbaccess @loginame = 'server01CUSTOM_ADMIN', @name_in_db = 'USER_ADMIN';
go
sp_addrolemember @rolename ='ADMIN_ROLE' , @membername = 'USER_ADMIN';
Go
GRANT SELECT , UPDATE , INSERT , DELETE ON [dbo].[TEST_TABLE] TO [ADMIN_ROLE]
GO
---------------------------
Now, if a person is added to the server01CUSTOM_ADMIN group, he/she should be able to do the following: (let's say it's a he)
- Create a test.udl-file (win xp). Set a provider to sql server.
- On the connection-tab enter hostname of database server in the Data Source-field and use windows NT Integrated security.
- When he now test the connection, it should work, since he has access to the database.
- Also, using the dropdown "3. Enter the initial catalog to use:", he should see SOME datatables. Not ALL, not none. The ones that he has access to.
So, if TEST_DATABASE is the only access that server01CUSTOM_ADMIN has, that database and only that one should show, right?
In my customers scenario, some databases show (irrelevant ones), but not TEST_DATABASE. In my test, I still get ALL databases. Even after I rip the guy out of the Administrators-group and Users-group. He's only a member of the CUSTOM_ADMIN-group on server01. "Test connection" succeeds, and all the databases on the server shows.
What I hope for is following questions like "He's probably sysadmin, check it" etc, so that I can systematically (using your brains) filter out the reasons for these scenarios to happen.
Thanks in advance.
Folks:
Is there a way to decrease the initial size of a database/log file? I've noticed you can increase it, but if you decrease it, after you confirm the change and go checking again, you will see nothing happened.
Is there a way? Am I missing anything?!
Hi,
Currently my db size is only 6 GB but the transaction log file initial size was set to 20 GB and has grown much way beyond the db size with the autogrowth feature turn on. The database was originally a test/development DB and was migrated to a production server including the log file. This probably caused the accumulation of transactions on the log.
We run backup everyday and tried to shrinkfile and file size did not change.
Can I change the "initial size" setting of the transaction log without causing any problems? Do I need to stop the service before I made the change assuming I made the change after the backup run? Or can I change it on the fly?
Thanks in advance.

Via t-sql, how can I query for a file's initial size?
I want the same thing one finds by :
Start SQL Server Management Studio, view, object explorer, right click [dbname], properties, files, Database files: Initial Size (MB).
Many thanks.

SQL 2008R2
Added four new equally sized .mdf files to a production tempdb last night and restarted the instance. I was hoping to remove the initial file as it's not required and does not match the size+growth of the others. The option to 'remove' it is greyed out in the files tab of the GUI so I'm assuming that ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] REMOVE FILE [tempdev] will also fail.
Do I need to migrate any data in this particular .mdf before it can be dropped? Or would the simplest approach be to change the size of this file to match the others and drop tempdev3?

I have a SQL Server 2005 Std. Ed. 64-bit installation. There is one instance supporting a single production database. I have a CLR udf. This udf uses the XMLDocument object to retrieve XML from a URL. When the CLR udf is executed, there seems to be an initial slow response time. Subsequent response times are very fast. If the CLR udf is not called for a few minutes and then called, the slowdown appears again.
Is there something happening behind the scenes with compilation or something like that which could cause this slowdown?
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I am setting up 2005 Transacational Replication on a database that was created on SQL 2000. There are 1400 articles (tables, views, sp and functions). It takes 2.5 hours to create the snapshot. Then, once the distribution errors gets its first error, it keeps retrying and getting the same error. Q1: Can I tell it to record the error but keep going? Q2: How do I stop the distribution agent once it gets in the this state? I have been deleting the publication but that seems like overkill.
I am trying to figure out a more efficient way to identify all the articles that are going to get errors. Is there any way to test the articles to see which ones will get an error? My current process takes a long time just to identify one error (since I have to create the snapshot each time).

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
In a .net application there is a link that brings up a SSRS report.
I have noticed that if it is the first time this report is requested i.e. Application has just been opened and the report button is clicked, then it takes a while to get this report to appear on the screen. But if this report is requested again (i.e. for the second time or more) then it only takes a few moments for the report to appear on the screen.
So it seems that only the first time the report is requested it takes a longer time to get this report. Is there a way to reduce this initial load of the report?
Thanks
Each day, the first user who launches our RS reports always gets a long wait time. Subsequent report launches are normal.
Does anyone know what is going on? If yes, what is the remedy?

This may sound a little anal-retentive, but I have a number of SSIS packages that, when I open them, the first thing I have to do is scroll to the left or up to get to where the tasks are displayed. Even if I move the tasks right or down, they still end up in that initial position. This happens even if I use auto arrange.
Is there a way for me to set the package so it has a consistent point or display at which it opens?
Hello everybody, I would be thankful if you try to help me with my problem,
I am using merge replication under SQL Server 2005.
In our system there is a central database running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition with a big database published for merge replication. There are too a lot of clients running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition that pull subscriptions to the central database. How the clients create subscriptions and run the synchronization process is posted below (RMO Progamming).
When running the syncrhonization process, the Distributor connects OK, the Publisher Connects OK... but when the snapshot copy process starts, the execution is halted with an init session error "unknown user name or wrong password" (more or less because I get the message in spanish ;)
I think that the problem is snapshot folder sharing permissions, but I do not kow how to solve it.
Thank you very much!
