Re-initializing An Anonymous Subscription From The Server - Error
Aug 15, 2007
Hi,
I'm trying to force an anonymous subscription to re-intialize on it's next sync attempt. I can do this from the subscriber no problems, and from the publisher using 'Re-initalize All Subscriptions', but I can't seem to re-intialize only a single subscription from the publisher.
To do this I'm trying to execute sp_reinitmergesubscription using the subscriber details found in the sysmergesubscriptions table. This executes ok and when the subscriber starts to sync it does try to re-initialize starting with generating a new snapshot, but after processing for a while it throws the following error messages:
Error messages:
The merge process could not allocate memory for an operation; your system may be running low on virtual memory. Restart the Merge Agent. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147198720)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147198720
An error occurred while reading the .bcp data file for the 'CDP_TableDates' article. If the .bcp file is corrupt, you must regenerate the snapshot before initializing the Subscriber. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199428)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199428
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. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201001)
There doesn't appear to be any shortage of memory on the server. There is no problem regenerating the snapshot from the publisher, and there's no problem with syncing through the web using delta syncs or re-initializing from the subscriber, so I can't see any obvious cause from those error messages.
I'm using SQL Server 2005 SP2 on the publisher, and SQL ServerCE 3.1 on the subscriber.
I tried to use REPLMERG utility for Web synchronization and got the following error message in log file:
2007-03-23 14:35:10.484 The subscription to publication 'X' could not be verified. Ensure that all Merge Agent command line parameters are specified correctly and that the subscription is correctly configured. If the Publisher no longer has information about this subscription, drop and recreate the subscription.
The case description is as the following:
REPLMERG utility command line:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90COMREPLMERG.EXE" -ExchangeType 3 -Publication X -
We have customers that are using web synchronization. Could you, please tell us when service pack for the bugs, discussed in thread http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=689428&SiteID=1 will be reliazed?
What replication participants should apply the service pack in a configuration where Subscriber (MS SQL 2005 Express) gets synchronized with Publisher/Diustributor (MS SQL 2005 Standard)?
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.
I am using windows 2003 server and i have installed SSAS 2005 and configured http request for AS 2005 with this below url : http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/httpasws.mspx. I had tried all the possiblities given in this url. But i am getting like "Test connection failed because of error initializing provider. The HTTP Server returned the following error : Not found" when i create udl file. Moreover i have installed MSOLAP 3.0 and OLAP 9.0 provider and MSXML 6.0 Parser.
I have seen several posts on the subject, and have tried various configs. At this point, I am simply trying to connect to SQL Express, that's all.
I have an app. in MS Access that uses SQL Express as a back-end database (this is the simple desktop version of our software). I don't remember having so many issues with just connecting to a small db engine on a single computer..! Just to get it off my chest, there was a post about this subject where someone listed more than 15 items to check... If anyone at Microsoft is reading... connections should not require a 15-item check-list.. People running sql express are not creating a sophisticated database system, probably running it because, they want a free, easy solution, and do not have an IT person, nor are they intersted in reading any 1 of the 15 items... Just trying to connect to the instance of the database that runs on the same computer.... that should not require more than possibly 3 different settings.
My objective at this point, is simply to connect! Nothing else.
My environment settings are:
OS: Win XP Professional MS Access(2003) and SQL Express both installed on the same computer All connection attempts are on the same computer SQL Express is installed in mixed mode SQL Browser running, Network DDE running (if needed) All Network protocols are enabled (tried disabling and enabling each 1 at a time as well) All Client protocols are enabled I tried setting network library to "dbmssocn", and left blank for default (uses namedpipes) I tried using host name, localhost, and IP address for servername (with the SQLEXPRESS of course) Also tried leaving it blank I tried with Integrated security, also tried with the user "sa" and "test" user (both enabled and capable of logging in and accessing the database) I tested the connection from SQL Express Manager, successfully connected in all modes (secure, and with SQL users) to make sure there are no issues with the users or security. Tried turning the SQL browser off (this should not be needed in local mode) Tried using an alias Tried using attach database as a filename And, the firewall is turned off.
Always getting the error "....connection failed because of an error in initializing provider" (whether using namedpipes, or TCP, or shared mem)
Both SQL Express and Access are installed on the computer, that should include the providers...
Please let me know if there is anything left for checking and/or trying... Appreciate your help...
I am creating my first SSIS package, simple, I read a file, a computation and then write it to an excel.
I am getting the message: "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider." The database is NOT remote. My computer is slow though. after about 10 or 15 seconds after clicking the button to test my connection, I get the message and much more. The message asks me if the instance name is correct. I don't know what this would be. This message is on the first task, reading the file (finding the file).
The last sentence of the long message is: "Named pipes provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server (2).
My question is: Why am I getting this message and what do I need to do to resolve this problem?
I'm having a problem sending the query set as an email text attachment. Test transmissions from Database mail working fine.
Send simple messages with the sp_send_dbmail sproc works fine as well.
It is only when I try and send a query result that things blow up. The query itself is working fine also, so I'm now down to think there is some esoteric problem with the sproc itself.
Surface config features have database mail on, and SQL Mail off.
Msg 14661, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_send_dbmail, Line 476 Query execution failed: Error initializing COM Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0 A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Investigating the sproc itself shows...
Line 476 in the sproc is the beginning of a 'trap' --Raise an error it the query execution fails -- This will only be the case when @append_query_error is set to 0 (false) IF( (@RetErrorMsg IS NOT NULL) AND (@exclude_query_output=0) ) BEGIN RAISERROR(14661, -1, -1, @RetErrorMsg) END

Have 6 SQL Server 2012  failover clusters  environments on Windows 2012 R2 standard edition.Have intermittent connectivity issues when using Windows Authentication, with the error "test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. login timeout expired" . Am checking by using a UDL file and have tried the below.
1) Have made port changes to use static 1433 port. 2) Have enabled shared memory and using Named Pipes and TCP/IP by using cliconfig. 3) Have turned off firewall. 4) Loopback is disabled 5) SQL Browser is running, have changed 'Built in Account setting'  from 'Local Service' to 'Network Service'. but with no effect.
Still I am getting intermittent connectivity issues.
I created reports and deployed successfully. but one problem i am facing is when i am opening the browser to see reports, it is asking for credentials..
But i want to show these reports for anonymous users
Is there any way to show reports for anonymous users? If yes, what is the process. please refer me any articles.
Running SQL Server Personal Ed (Server A) on Tablet PC (publication and distribution setup here) trying to push data to SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Ed. (Server B). When I start sync I get two failures. First is 'remote server not defined as subscription server'. Second, subscription to publication xx not valid (error# -2147201019). The snapshot is succeeding fine. What do I need to setup on Server B? I have the same db on both servers.
We had to failover our primary db server for maintenance to our secondary replica. The primary was rebooted during maintenance. We failed back after the maintenance and one of the databases is not synchronizing.
I checked sys.dm_hadr_database_replica_states, and it is showing that it is INITIALIZING.
It has been in this state for more than 45 mins now. The last_sent_time, last_received_time, last_hardened_time and last-redone_time are all stuck with a time stamp 45 mins ago.
They haven't changed. How do i resume this database and bring it back in sync?
I tried suspending and resuming the data movement, but hasn't worked.
I was reading though my logs and noticed I had three instances of an anonymous logon last night. The last anonymous logon was at approx midnight. This is prime hacking time.
Can anyone give me direction on issues or concerns with anonymous logons.
How do you set up a SQL server to allow anonymous access from a website? I am using asp for a web site and keep getting this error:

I am new to SQL server so any help no matter how obvious would be appreciated
hi. i was following the newbie's guide: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/med302_msdn_sql_mobile.asp?frame=true
on the creating a new subscription i was doing okay until i get to the last part wherein i click finish and this error pops up when it starts synchronizing data..
An error has occured on the computer running IIS. Try restarting the IIS server.
i already tried restarting the server.. is there anything else i can do to make it work?
I have attempted this with more than one database (SQL Server 2005). The snapshot was created successfully. The Web configuration was completed successfully. All my security logins (DB and authentication) have the correct permissions and I have followed Microsoft's instructions perfectly (over and over again!).
I am using a MS Server2003 R2 box, Service Pack 1. All of my Mobile 5.0 components installed successfully.
This is a data formatting issue, but I am attempting with an empty table (3 fields) to make it as simple as possible. In fact, the first time through the instructions I used their SQLMobile database created with Microsoft's script. Same ending, same issue. I cannot create a SQL Server Mobile subscription.
I should mention that this error occurs on the 2nd task "Synchronizing Data".
What URL should be tested prior to subscribing - HTTP://MyBox/MyAppName? What should be the expected results? Right now, I get a page does not exist - of course, there are no pages, just the dll in the virtual directory.
I have Sharepoint Central Administration and Team Foundation Server web sites running. In addition,
I get a strange error on some report subscriptions. The following is the stack trace:

The exact same subcription worked before and if i stop and start the RS service and does a test with the subscription right after it will work. However , when i change it back to the original time it´s the same thing all over again. I found this
Which says that it will be fixed in SP2. So basically i am just wondering if i got the same problem and should wait for SP2 or if i have different problem but the same error message?
I have a SQL data source and a GridView control in a user control. I used to have them on a specific page that is not the default. When I clicked on a link on the default page to get to the page containing them, they worked as desired.Now I've moved them to a user control so I can include them on multiple pages, including the default page. Included in the code for the SQL data source is the Selecting event that defines what the SQL query should be. There is a default query defined in the source code of the ascx control, but that's not the query that I want to run when the control is displayed.However, when my default page is displayed, it seems to ignore the Selecting event and displays the query that is in the code for the default page. When I click to another page, that one defines the user control properly.I tried fixing it in the Page_Load event for the default page, but now I'm getting an error that CommandText is not initialized. How do I initialize the query for the SQL data source for the default page?
I'm running SQLMaint.exe for DBCC and backups overnight, because I like the -BkUpOnlyIfClean switch, but I'm having a problem. I need Due to space constraints, I need to overwrite the backup every night. The -DelBkUps switch is nice, but it accepts a parameter of weeks, not days. Is there some syntax I can use with SQLMaint.exe to get what I want, or am I going to have to do an NT 'at' commnad to get rid of the file just before th enext dump, or what? Any suggestions would be intensely appreciated.

We're getting a barrage of Windows Authenticated login attempts that are using the Anonymous login on one of our client's production servers. This smells to me of a service gone awry.
The login attempts originate from a server that is hosting some Quest Software applications, specifically their Performance Analysis tool. This machine has been well behaved until this morning, but it has been issuing around ten failed login attempts an hour.
The problem that it causing me pain at the moment is that the client has not renewed their Quest support yet because of a merger, so their contract recently expired. Does anyone have any insight into what might cause a normally well behaved app/server to go mildly berzerk exactly ten days after the support contract expires?
I have a web sync merge publication with multiple anonymous subscribers. Unfortunately two of the subscribers have experienced errors as follows.
############################################### The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Subscriber for changes not yet sent to the Publisher. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload). (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199401) ###############################################
Now they successfully sync'd within the retention period so I am baffled as to why the cleanup has occured. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a way to reinitialize just a single subscriber. It seems that the only reinitialize option is across all subscribers, which I do not wish to do as they would loose any changes since last sync.
The problem is: when you're trying to call in method MyMethod anonymous method that doesn't use local variables, deployment of the assembly will fail referring that MyMethod tries to store smth. in the static variable. Indeed, looking at the compiled CLR code, you can see that anonymous delegate is cached in the private static delegate and the call looks like:
If(ClassName.privateStaticDelegate == null) ClassName.privateStaticDelegate = new MyDelegate(HiddenMethodName); CallAnonymousMethod(ClassName.privateStaticDelegate);
Is there any workaround to fix this problem.
P.S. I googled about this problem and found only one article on it: http://www.ayende.com/Blog/default,date,2005-12-26.aspx
When doing a pull subscription where the schema is also replicated, the snapshot fails with the message " The process could not create the file [machine name]D$MSSQL7ReplDataunc[Publisher Name]DateTable Name.sch
There is an OS Error Code of 5 saying Acces is denied.
The file mentioned above is created, so perhaps it fails trying to create a file for the next table.
I have a client who is getting an error when they try to create a report subscription. The error is as follows:
An unexpected error occurred: A subscription delivery error has occurred. ---> A subscription delivery error has occurred. ---> One of the extension parameters is not valid for the following reason: The account you are using does not have administrator priviledges. A subscription cannot be created for [email address].
The thing I find strange is that the client was able to create a shared schedule with no problems, so I don't see how they don't have administrator privileges. The shared schedules and subscriptions are created programmatically through a web application if that is of any importance.
When I try to create a new subscription I get the following erro.
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help
EXECUTE permission denied on object 'sp_add_category', database 'msdb', schema 'dbo'.
Any ideas?
