Replication :: Oracle Migration (Distributor And Subscriber Databases)?
Jul 31, 2015We are going away from a 2003 Windows Server OS with SQL Server 2008 R2 to a 2012 Windows Server with 2012 SQL Server. Both the distributor and subscriber resides on 2003 Windows Server and the focus will be to migrate those databases to the 2012 SQL Server.
 We would also like to avoid sending down a new snapshot due to logic in the replication process (major headache to clean up data).  what's the best approach in moving the distributor and subscriber databases without having to run a snapshot? Â
In theory and needs testing:
1. Work with business users to get downtime
2. Stop sql apply so no new changes are going to the Oracle publisher database
3. Remove subscription, publication and distributor from current replication
4. Oracle DBA to clear out replication related objects - fresh clean slate
5. Use log shipping to apply last t-log and restore db with Keep_Replication
6. Set up new distribution, publication (keep existing object unchanged), and subscriber (without initialization) Will this work?
Transactional Replication From SQL 2000 Sp4 Publisher/distributor To SQL 2005 Sp2 Subscriber
Jun 26, 2007Hello,
Are there any requirements that dictate the SQL Server version for the distribution agent for a SQL 2000 publisher with a transactional push subscription to a SQL 2005 subscriber?
Thanks in advance,

Who Is Distributor, Publisher And Subscriber ?
Mar 28, 2007hi,
I'm reading the MS online docs about replication. there's something not so clear until so far.
I have one central server and 7 client servers.
Sometimes new data is entered at one client server. This should be replicated (when client comes online) to the Central Server (merge replication).
Also, the other way, once the central server gets new data (that was replicated from a client), it should be again replicated to all 6 other clients (from the central server).
now, who should i configure as the distributor, publisher and subscriber?
Distributor Cannot Connect To Subscriber
Jan 23, 2007I am setting up my 2005 Replication system...
publisher = 2005 sp1
Subscriber = 2005 sp1
I created a publication for a single table. Then I created the subscription to another 2005 server. Had to add it as a subscriber in the wizard. Told it to do the snapshot right away.
Everything seems fine right up to the point where it tries to connect to the subscriber... I get a cannot connect error. I have tried all kinds of security context and accounts for the sql agent to run under but nothing seems to work. I cannot even get a linked server to work. I have the subscriber setup to accept remote connections.
I am not sure where to look at next... I never had this issue in 2000.
Moving Snapshot From Distributor To Subscriber...
Aug 22, 2007Hi all
Can the Snapshot be copied from the distributor to the subscriber and then from the subscriber using the copied snapshot, create a subscription to the publisher?
Urgent help would be greatly appreciated

Remote Distributor And Subscriber On Same Machine - Is That OK?
Nov 2, 2006Hi,
Server A houses the Production DB which services an OLTP system. Transactional replication is configured on this server which has two subscribers - on two separate servers (servers B and C). The Distribution database currently resides on Server A (which is also the Publisher).
Server B is on the same LAN as Server A (on the same rack). I'm considering moving the Distribution database from Server A to Server B to offload some of the processing overhead from Server A.
Are there any gotchas/performance problems associated with having the Distribution database (remote distributor) and the Subscriber on the same server (server B) in a transaction replication topology?
Please advise or point me to the appropriate documentation - I haven't found anything that addresses this specific question...thanks in advance,

Jul 30, 2006We have a SQL 2000 Server (publisher & distributor) with around 15 databases being replicated (all using merge replication).
My question is the following:
Is it possible to perform Merge replication from a SQL 2000 (acting as the publisher & distributor) to a SQL 2005 server acting as the Subscriber)?
If anyone has a link to any instructions somewhere that would be great.

Seperate SQL 2K Publisher, SQL2K Distributor, SQL2K5 Subscriber
Feb 17, 2006Hi,
We are about to alter our replication architecture from
SQL 2K publisher/SQL 2K5 distributor/subscriber
to
SQL 2K publisher, seperate SQL 2K distributor and SQL 2K5 subscriber.
The subscriptions will be pulled from the distributor and pushed to the subscriber. Basically, all the work will be done by the distributor (in the hope of improving performance).
Has anyone had any experience of a similar architecture? All SQL servers are running with the latest service packs.
SQL Server Network Connectivity
Sep 5, 2001Has anyone experienced timeouts connecting to SQL 2K from a client and also the server console itself. Typically this error occurs on the client: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error `80040e14`
OLE/DB provider returned message: Timeout expired

Intermittent Connectivity Issues Though Network Is Fine
Oct 3, 2006Hi,
I am getting intermittent connectivity issues while connecting to a remote SQL Server 2000 database through the Enterprise Manager. It gives a time-out error
Initially I guessed it must be the network but then I was able to term-serv successfully into the remote server and work without any connectivity issues.
Any pointers how this is possible ?
Thanks for your help.

Replication Distributor
Aug 3, 2005I was wondering if you could set up multiple distributors for one database?For example:Server A needs to publish data to server B so I set up server A's distributor as server B. Later Server A needs to publish data to server C so I want to set up the distributor for this replication to use server C.I don't think this is possible as you need to set up the distributor for the entire DB when its created not for each individual replication job.Any help is appreciated.Nick

View 1 Replies View RelatedReplication Distributor Version
Sep 14, 2007What is the minimum SQL Server version I can use on my replication distributor server? My publisher and subscriber(s) will all be Enterprise Edition (64 bit). However, it seems awefully wasteful to put Enterprise Edition on a box that is just used for distribution. That's another $15K for a server that doesn't do much. Can I use a lower version (Express, Developer, Standard)?
Thank you,

Replication Distributor Job History Is Shocking!
Jan 24, 2007
Sorry for the odd format but that is what happens when you paste here! This is data from our Job History for a "Replication Distributor" Job Step Type. Here is how I interprete it: The job step started on the 19th. It restarted itself twice on the 20th. Then it restarted itself twice on the 21st. Then it restarted itself 3 times on the 22nd. And finally it restarted itself on the 23rd. Notice the progression of Retries_Attempted. When Retries_Attempted exceeds 10, the step will fail and the service will shut-down, which is what I have seen in the past. I conclude the Advanced Settings of Retry Attempts is not per "Event" but "total tries no matter how many successful retries are encountered." I thought a successful retry would reset the Retries_Attempted. But it does not. Is this correct? This implies that to keep the distributor up, we should set the Retry Attempts" setting to its max!

Replication Monitor Could Not Connect To Distributor
Jun 25, 2007Hello Guys,
I have the following scenario:
PC1 : located in Dubai representing my laptop
PC2: located in Denver ,
Both pcs are connected to each other via the internet as i am using Aliases ,they can both access and see each other using SQL Auth.
I want to implement Merge Replication to Synchronize TestDB ,
I have NO DOMAIN connnecting them.
I Created a new publication ,under security i asked the agent to use the Sa account to connect
When launching the rep monitor i get the following error:
"Replication Monitor could not connect to Distributor 'laptop'."
"Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)"
Both Publisher and Distributer are on my Laptop ,why cant they connect to each other?
Another Question : could i implement Traditional Merge replication to synchronize my DBs or do i need to configure Web Synch in Merge rep to enable connecting via the internet?!
Thanks Guys!

Replication :: Reg Remote Publisher And Distributor Set Up
Jul 16, 2015I am setting up  transaction replication in SQL Server 2012 with three individual servers for Distributor, Publisher, Subscriber, But I want to know how to set the folder for Snapshot agent like whether the folder should be a network shared folder or normal local folder.
View 4 Replies View RelatedNeed For Distributor Server In Existing Replication Setup
Dec 4, 2004We have a setup with one Publisher Server and 15 Subscribers with merge replication configured for all subscribers. The current Database size is approximately 3 GB expected to grow to 10 GB in next 1 year. We wanted to know what benefits would we incur if we add an additional seperate distributor server (hardware box). Also, what is the approx. size of a database where a seperate distributor server (hardware box) is recommended.
Thanks in advance
Replication Problem Where Distributor && Subcriber On Same Machine
Mar 15, 2004What I would like to do is set up transactional replication from server1 (Publisher) to server2 (Subscriber), with server2 acting as the (Distributor).
I am successful on server2 in allowing server2 as a distributor for server1. When I try to configure replication on server1 to use server2 as a distributor and subscriber I get this message once
"
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not enable 'server2' as a Subscriber.
Error 14071: Could not find the Distributor or the distribution database fom the local server. The Distributor may not be installed, or the local server may not be configured as a Publisher at the Distributor.
"
and this mesage for each database I enable for subscription, I get this message.
"
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not enable database 'x' for snapshot or transactional replications.
Error 20028: The Distributor has not been correctly installed. Could not enable database for publishing. The replication 'publish' of database 'x' has been set to false.
"
The last message I get is
"
SQL Server Enterprise Manager successfully enabled 'server2' as the Distributor for 'server1'.
"
This message is apparently false.
When I try to Configure Publishing, Subscribers and Distributing... on server1, I get the message
"
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not retrieve information about the Distributor or the distribution database.
"
In an attempt to fix this I:
1. disable publishing on server1,
2. disable publising and distribution on server2.
3. enable publishing and distribution on server2.
4. enable publishing on server1 using server2 as distributor.
Again I get errors on step 4.
I have even tried re-installing SQL Server 2000 on server2 with no improvement.
Can some one please shed some light on this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Merge Replication Subscriber
Sep 6, 2001SQL Server 7.0 SP3
I am using the "Pull Subscription Wizard" to set up merge replication. I go through all the steps of the wizard and then I hit "Finish" at the end. When it gets to the third step (Creating the Subscription), I get the old:
__________________________________________________ _________
mmc.exe has generated errors and will by closed by Windows.
You will need to restart the program.
An error log is being created.
__________________________________________________ _________
This happens whether I try to do this from my PC or from the actual server I am creating the subscription on.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a hotfix I need?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig
Replication: Cannot Enumerate Changes At Subscriber
Jul 2, 2003Hi all!
I hope anyone here can help me with this tough problem:
I have a replication enviroment with several subscribers.
Publisher:MSSQL 2000, SP3
Subscribers: MSSQL200, SP3 and MSDE2000, SP3
Since a few weeks, one of the subscribers fails when
synchronizing with the message
"This process could not enumerate changes at the subscriber"
The erroroutput with verboselevel 3 doesn't help me much, I
append it to the end of this posting. (unfortunately german)
I heard that this error can be caused by a "blank" in an image
column or different Service Pack Versions - definitely not
possible in this case!
The only strange detail is that the SQL Server Versionnumber
of this MSDE shown via EM is not the same as the number shown
in controlpanel->software. By the way, is it ok that here are
two lines for the MSDE?
SP3 is definitely installed on all machines!
Any help would be greatly appreciated - i'm already losing hope...

Replication Insert From Subscriber
Jul 8, 2004:confused:
I want to call a stored procedure to do the insert into my published arcticle/table. Is this possible? I know you can call a stored procedure to insert into the subscriber arctiles.
The problem is the published database has a generated primary key (max +1 )that is calculated via a stored procedure during all inserts. I would bring the stored procedure over to the subscriber but that would not help since the values in the target table will not be 'current' because the subscriber database is only updated nightly.
Thoughts?

Any help will be appreciated.
