Hi,
I am currently developing an application which depends on a MSSQL-Database (2000 or 2005). The client makes use of a local database which is a mirror (via merge-replication) of another database. In case of network-problems, the replication automatically stops.
My program needs to have a possibility to know this and to restart the replication.
How to?
Any help is appreciated,
Daniel HIlgarth

I've created (via Enterprise Manager) a merge replication and configured the publisher, distributer, and push subscription (via the wizards).
The Snapshot Agent is configured to autorun once the publication has been completed.
The Merge Agent has a schedule of 'Start automitically when SQL server agent starts', ie it runs continuously.
After setting this all via the wizards it all executes correctly with both the snap shot and merge agents firing and doing their jobs.
I then use the option Tools->Replication->Generate SQL Script. The 'script creation of replication jobs' option is checked. The script is created ok.
I then disable (completely) the replication, delete the database, and readd it cleanly.
From a command prompt I then fire:
osql -E -S <server> -d <db name> -i <script name>
This correctly sets up all the replication components and jobs BUT both the snap shot and merge agents haven't been started. Why haven't they been auto executed? Also, the merge agent schedule is defaulting to 'once per week' and no the selection i'd originally chosen. Does the script generation miss certain configuration choices?
If this is the case then what scripting additions do I need to make the agents fire and with the correct scheduling?
This is getting desperate as the SQL script needs to go into our InstallShield installation.
Please help,

Hi.
I have setup an SQL Server 2005 Merge Replication.
Now I need to display the status of the replication programatically from the subscriber side, I have checked the documentation which mentions MergeSubscription & MergeSubscriberMonitor but I couldn't know how to use them!!
Any Help ?
Thanks
Hello,
I had created a windows service using C#. I set its Startup Type as Automatic but it is not getting started automatically when my System Starts.
When our rep distribution services time-out (several times a day) some dba's just restart the service while others restart the rep job which starts the service. Are there any differences between these two methods? Does restarting the service inherit any changes made to the job's attributes?
Thanks!
I have database on SQL Server 2000 set up with a merge publication.This publication is configured with a number of dynamic filters toreduce the amount of data sent to each client. Each client has ananonymous pull subscription. The merge process can be triggered by thewindows sync manager and my application.To improve performance I have created some helper tables to hold themapping between user login and primary keys of selected entities.For the replicated data to be correct the contents of the helper tablesneeds to be up to date.I need to fire off a stored procedure on the publisher beforereplication starts to verify that this data is up to date. I can notsee any documented way of doing this however I have been experimentingwith some unorthodox systems.Firstly has anyone any ideas?I have been considering adding a trigger to some of the tables used bythe Microsoft replication code - yes I know this is very nasty.My problems arise because executing this stored procedure will causesome data to be updated. In updating data we could create a newgeneration in the database. I must therefore run my stored procedurebefore any the Microsoft code makes any generation checks / updates.Anyone done anything similar, Anyone have any better ideas?Any comments would be gratefully received.

I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.
Hi,
I'm using merge replication to maintain a backup copy of my main (publisher)MSDE database. A push subscription periodically (1 per minute) updates the backup DB.
It's intended that if the main db goes down then the backup (subscription) db can be configured as a publisher. This must all be performed via scripting.
The initial configuration of the main publisher and subscription is controlled via scripting, which works fine.
The problems occur when I try to configure the subsciber to become a publisher. A script is executed on the subscriber but fails at the point when it's configuring the publisher detail. The error is something like "unable to configure a publication for a database setup as an anonymous subscription".
I'm guessing that there are subscritpion artifacts added to the database which need to be removed before it can be configured as a new publisher.
Please help,

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've read frequently how stored procedures we create shouldn't be named withsp_ since SQL Server will first check the master db before the current dbwhen trying to find the sp to execute. I always nodded and thought how Iwas glad I hadn't done that. For some reason it never clicked that UDFbehavior could be the same.I have several UDFs that start fn_... When I reference a UDF as dbo.fn_...does SQL Server check the master db for these and only upon not finding themcheck the current db? If so, is there a performance hit for this?TIA,John

Hi Everyone:
I am just starting out on SSIS, and have the following business challenge that I would like to solve utilizing SSIS. There are two SQL Server data stores, one would be the source, and other would be the destination. I need to grab some data from store 1, and insert that data into store 2. Here are my questions:
1) Before i move the data to store 2, i have to check some criterias by callin some sps, and then the end result would need to be inserted into the destination database. Can anyone tell me how would i setup the control flow, to accomodate that in SSIS?
2) Can someone email me a sample package that does something similar?
I just need a starting point so i can build the design of my package. Basically i need to call three sps during the process to move data. First one will compile a list of all the records to process. Second one, will pick those up, make some calls to set some other parameters, and then finally insert it into some staging tables. Third one should simply pick up the data from staging tables, to a replica of those tables in the actual destination db. I would really appreciate if I can get some response to this post soon. Also, I would appreciate if you can point me in the right direction in terms of how to design this using SSIS. Basically i need a starting point control flow design(rough) to understand what control flow items would be used in this case. Thanks.

I'm a newbie to SQL and wanted to see if someone could help me write a query. I store historical options data in a SQL data base and I'm trying to create a query that will retrieve all ATM (at the money options).
For each unique stock symbol (STOCK_SYMBOL) in my database find the strike price (STRIKE) which is closest to the stock price (UND_LAST). This will be refined by the EXPIRATION and OPT_TYPE
The following query returns all options not just ATM options.
SELECT STOCK_SYMBOL, UND_LAST, STRIKE, EXPIRATION FROM DATA
WHERE EXPIRATION > '2007-02-01 00:00:00'
AND EXPIRATION < '2007-02-28 00:00:00'
AND OPT_TYPE = 'CALL'
Related DB fields.

I am using MS SQL Server 2005 Import and Export Wizard (.net framework Data Provider for mySAP Business Suite. )
as a interface between SAP and MS SQL 2005.
Once the connection is created i can use basic query to fetch the data from SAP tables
ie., SELECT * FROM AFPO
But say I want to EXTRACT data just for month of July from AFPO.
AFPO does not have date field so you have to join AFPO to AUFK and AUFK to COEP to fetch the date as a criteria to restrict data for the month of July .
This can be done in ABAP by view or Interim Table, if you have Developer Key.
Can anyone please tell me if aforesaid is possible with MS SQL Server 2005 Import and Export Wizard query ?
The SQLAgent service was modified to login as a domain account. SQLAgent would not start. I made sure that the account was in the Admin group on the server, I setup the account as a System Administrator in SQL. I made sure that the network protocols in Client Network Utiliity and Server Network Utility where the same as other servers using the domain account. The message I'm getting is...
SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server; SQLServerAgent cannot start).
I modified the properties for SQLAgent back to login as local account and I still get the same problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

When my system re-boots SQLServerAgent will no longer start. The following message is sent to the NT Event Log:
(Event ID 103) "SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server; SQLServerAgent cannot start)."
Following this message are two messages from MSSQLServer that read:
(Event ID 19020) "RPC Net-Library listening on: ncalrpc:USBGRSYSTST1[WMSG0000009A.00000001]."
So is this a timing issues? Is MSSQLServer taking too long to completely start before SQLServerAgent is started? If so, is there a way (without hacking through the registry) to make the SQLServerAgent service dependant on the MSSQLServer service?
This startup issue did not exist until an application was installed on the machine that also has several services that auto-start. I noticed that many of these new services are starting at the same time the MSSQLServer service is starting.
Any asssistance would be most appreciated.
I am receiving the following error when I am trying to start the SQL server.Any help is appreciated.

Greetings,
I've installed sql server 7.0 on winnt. Later i've changed my system name.
Due to this SQL SERVER is not running and i'm getting the following error.
"Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (unkown package id). Please rerun setup.". I've changed my system name back to the original one and sql server is running again.
Is there any way to change my system name and sql server running??
Thanks in advance.

I am using MS SQL 6.5 SP5, NT4.0. running Tivoli Service Desk. Two of the four agents on the Applications server were not running so I recycled the server and now NONE of the agents are coming up. Generally the agents show up on the application server control panel but they have not started. The status of the server is 'initializing' and the Watchdog has started but only the 'dispatcher'started. I have hard booted the aps server and recycled the aps and db servers both. I know that there is a way to suspend the agents but that has not been done and the 'resume' button is not available to use. I tried restarting the dispatcher but it didn't do anything. I have also gone into 'config' on the control panel and it shows that '4' agents are set to start up.
We run a Web version also so I have my help desk analysts using it but they cannot refer back to tickets that they have just opened, etc.
ANY SUGGESTIONS - I have been waiting on Tivoli to call me back for almost an hour and a half.
Thanks - Mary

I feel extremly happy today and let me share with this wonderful forum why.
SQL is awesome and I'm really learning that theres alot of resources out there and coding is not that hard once you understand what your doing. Just took awhile for things to sink in. I still have a long ways to go but I'm really enjoying using sql. I practically live in our SQL Server 2000 at work and I'm learning more and more about it everyday.
Thank YOu so much guys I really appreciate all the help you've given me

hello - i have this problem:
i am able to use bulk insert script like
"bulk insert demodb..table1
from 'c:filename.ext' with (formatfile = 'c:cp.fmt')"
to import a binary file into sql server.
table1 has 4 columns, noted column is number 2, type image, here's my format file:
8.0
1
1 SQLIMAGE 0 100184 "" 2 logo ""
i import only the binary file.
however when trying to do the same using bcp with the same format file, it just says
"starting copy..." and goes to sleep !
any idea what i should do?
i created a temp table with just an IMAGE column and then the bcp method works, but i rather need it with my current setup - table with 4 columns
thank you
I am unable to get SQL Agent service to run under the same domain name that my SQL Server service is running under. It will start and continue to run when Server and Agent are both ran under the Local Account. But once the services are switched over to the domain account, the Server starts, but the Agent fails. The domain user has administrative rights on the server, along with admin rights to the SQL instance.
Here is the event log.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: SQLSERVERAGENT
Event Category: Service Control
Event ID: 103
Date: 3/28/2007
User: N/A
