Not Applying The Initial Snapshot When Setting Up Tran Repl.
Jul 20, 2005
I am setting up a combination of transactional and merge replication
on a very large database and do not want to apply the initial snapshot
since this would take to long. I am doing this with scripts that were
previosly created when the database was not this big. I want to copy
the publisher DB over to the Subscriber Server. Can I use the
parameter @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.

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.

Hello, I have setup web sync from wm 5.0 and it seems to crash when applying the snapshot. Looking at the column definitions it seems fine. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

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!

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?

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:

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.

Hi,
We currently have a fairly new SQL server 2000 db (currently about 18mb is size) as a backend to an application (Navision). Performance seems to be below what it should be.
The db is increasing quite rapidly in size, with a lot of data scheduled to be loaded onto the db and also more and more shops and users coming onto the system with alot more transactions going onto the db.
The initial setup of the db has the database File properties set to "Automatically grow file" by "30%" and has an unrestricted file growth.
The server that the db sits on is high spec and very large disk space.
Because the database will be expanding alot and thus reaching its maximum space allocation and then performing a 30% increase in size (which I guess affects performance quite a bit??) quite regularly.
Is it best to set the intitial size of the db to a alot bigger size in the first place as we have large disk space availiable and also set the % increase bigger also.
any advice on best performance would be much appreicated.
Regards,
David

I have created a snapshot
CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorks_Snapshot1200 ON
(NAME = N'AdventureWorks_Data', FILENAME=
N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAW_1200.ss')
AS SNAPSHOT Of AdventureWorks
I changed the records
AddressLine1
from 1970 Napa Ct. to 1970 Napa Ct. Apt 1
When i run
select * from Person.Address
AventureWorks_Snapshot1200 where addressid = '1'
select * from Person.Address
AventureWorks where addressid = '1'
Both appear as 1
When i change Apt to 2 and run it both appear 2
Changed again to 3 both appeared as 3 too.
I was under the impression that the snapshot would remain as 1 when the new update 2 has been performed.
Any light be appreciated.

Is it possible to have both tables rolled back from one Begin tran command or do i need to split the datatasl into two and treat each import as a seperate issue ?

Hi,
I want to rollback my t-sql if it encounters an error. I wrote this code:
begin tran mytrans;
insert into table1 values (1, 'test');
insert into table1 values (1, 'jsaureouwrolsjflseorwurw'); -- it will encounter error here since max value to be inputted is 10
commit tran mytrans;
I forced my insert to have an error by putting a value that exceeds the data size. However, I didn't do any rollback. Anything i missed out?

The problem case for transactional replication in MS SQL 7.0 is as follows:
Server A (intended publisher)
Server B (distributor, intended subscriber)
When configuring replication, the distributor (B) can be configured easily; the publisher (A) that uses B as its distributor will not allow for a publication to be created using either the Enterprise Manager wizards or TSQL commands. The error '627: Cannot use SAVE TRANSACTION within a distributed transaction' occurs when creating the publication.
Any suggestions; I need some help ASAP.

I am trying to set up a merge replication between SQL 2005 and SQL Express. When I try to apply the snapshot to the SQL Express database. I get the error "Can not access filepathSnapshot.pre due to error OS 3"
Does anyone know what OS error 3 applies to?
Also, when I try to place the snapshop in the default folder location say D:ReplicationData the create snapshot process will work. If I try to place the snapshot folder not in the default and in a UNC like this \serverIPReplicationData I get an access error. sqlAgent has access to the share, which is fully shared out. Any ideas?

I am running merge replication (SQL 2000 with SP2) with an anonymous pull subscription. The application vendor has come out with update that requires adding a table to a database. The vendor has created scripts that will add the table, as well as some stored procedures. If I apply the scripts to both servers and add the table as a new article to the publication, am I going to have to apply a snapshot of the entire database (which is very large)?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

I'm in trouble again. I want to make merge replication between SS 2000 Enterprise and SS 2005 Express edition. 2000 will be publisher, 2005 will be subscriber. In addition I want to use push subsription at 2000 side, very last thing is it will be download only (I know how to make a merge rep. downloadonly, thanks god!). That's all I want to do.
I made a little search, it seems what I want can't be done automatically, using SMO or scripts is suggested. In one of other forums I saw "distibuter>=publisher>=subsriber" (refering sql server versions). Is it an incontestable truth that I cannot make SS 2000 a publisher where SS 2005 Express is subscriber?
How can I achieve my goal, isn't there anyway to make 2000 publisher for merge replication while a 2005 Express is subscriber?
Thanks

Hi,
We're running a replicationprocess for months now, and 2 days ago it broke down, for no appearant reason I can detect. The setup is this:
A SQL2K server has a publication defined on a database, consisting of several dozen tables. It is a transactional publication, running continuously. There is 1 subscriber, a SQL2005. Both servers run with Win2003 and all have the latest servicepacks.
Up until 2 days ago there was hardly a problem. Then I received errormessages on being unable to load into a specific table. That table had been changed on that day, namely, 1 column was changed from CHAR(13) to CHAR(12). I do not know if this has any relation with the problem we experience.
Currently the databases are structural the same. I could not get the replicationprocess to work and deleted all, publication on server1 and subscription on server2. I tried to setup a new transactional publication, which is not a problem, however, I cannot create a succesful subscription. I receive the message:
The process could not bulkcopy into table 'Tablename', where tablename is the changed table...
Again, both tables in publisher and subscruiber are the same in all respects. When I remove the offending table from the publication, the same message now with another tablename... Removing this table will result in again this message with another tablename...
I am really flabbergasted. Any idea where to look at?
TIA

We have VLDBs running on a SQL 2005 server. Some users have questioned speed and response times. When I investigated the server (W2K3) using the perfomrance monitor, I noticed an interesting questionabel result. The Repl. Pending Xacts showed 44,000,000 transactions waiting to be delived to the distribution databse. Problem is - we do not have replication tunred on on any of the db's on the box. In my research, I have not noticed anyone with a similiar issue. Does this amount of transaction take up space, or is it simply a counter that I don't have to be worried about?
