Re-initializing An Anonymous Subscription From The Server - Error

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)

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)

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.

Any ideas or alternatives?

Cheers
