Can anyone help with how to recreate a pull subscription replication job after I had to recreate the msdb database when it was marked as suspect. I still have the subscription but cannot seem to recreate a pull replication job

My name is Tech guy,
I want to use window script program to execute a pull subscription installed on SQL 2005 express edition. Because it free for downloand.
is there a script that can call an existing pull subscription execution.
Are there any procedural differences between Express and MSDE considering pull subscription?

Hello,
i have one publisher with one pull subscription. when i make any change in publisher, that change is propegated to subscriber, but when i make any change in subscription, the change is not reflected. i have tried a lot of options but no one worked. please help me.
Regards,
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.
Thanks for any light that you can shed!

Hi there all
I have a problem creating a pull merge subscription on a server that's outside of our firewall. All standard ports are blocked so MS UNC connections are not possible which SQL 2000 uses by default when creating a subscription. Equally FTP is out = insecure.
I found a procedure to that said create the snapshot of the publication, create a backup of the published database, restore that backup to the remote server as a subscription db and then sync using merge. Didn't work, failed (several times).
Can anyone enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong or indeed if I'm doing anything correctly!
I can create a remote desktop (Term Server) connection to the remote and another back to the publisher (from the subscriber's desktop) and both connections are using SSH tunnels. SQL Server uses a non standard port to communicate over the firewall. The remote server sits behind another firewall/router with port redirection to it's private address. Each server has the other registered and there are no comms problems and indeed there are other replicated dbs between them.
Both servers are win 2003 and the remote (subscriber) is R2 version, both with SQL 2000 Server Std patched up to SP3. (if this has any bearing on the solution which I presume there is)
Many thanks for listening and I hope a few of you can answer as well

Hello,
i am trying to create a pull subscription to my publication using T-SQL. The pull subcription is created successfully but the problem is that data is not merged correctly. I mean when i run the agent ( despite of having data in subscription / publication ) the data is not merged and i get "No Data Needed To Be Merged" message.
i run following sp in this sequence:
At Subscrber:
1 - sp_addmergepullsubscription
2 - sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent
At Publisher:
1 - sp_addmergesubscription
Again at subscriber :
Transaction for adding merge agent job.
Regards,
As I understand replication in Sql2K the only difference in push or pull subscriptions is where the agent runs. If I wanted changes in the publisher to be sent to the subscribers immediately after the change then I thought push would be better. But, if I am equally interested in changes made at the subscriber then what should I use? Or does the agent monitor both the publisher and subscriber at the same time?

Are there any issues that anyone is aware of that may affect this working.
I have setup a pull subscription on the subscriber for transactional replication. The distribution job continues to run, but doesn't do anything because it says: The initial snapshot for publication 'man4' is not yet available.
How can I tell if the snapshot is running, and can I see the snapshot where it was created?
Hi all I have a question,
I am trying to enable a replication process between a SQL 2005 server and sqlexpress instances and i run into the following problem.
On the publisher a subscription (sp_addmergesubscription) is added for each 'machine' that participates in the replication. Is there a way to get around this?
Because when we distribute the installation we dont know all the machine names. I have made the publication accesible for anynymous access. But when the replication script is installed on the client ,the Error message that the subscription does not exists appears.
The only difference between the instal script for the client is that we do not add a sp_addmergesubscription on the server. Is it possible to let SQL server make an subscription when the client connects for the first time?
To summarize my question: Is there a way to enable the replication with only running a script on the client and not on the server?
If i need to explain it more in detail , just let me know and ill try

View 10 Replies View RelatedSay we need to replicate between 2 databases using transactional replication
So we create a publication on the first server and initialse the publication agent so that it takes a snapshot and starts the log reader to capture the transactions being keyed into it.
Then say we create a pull subscription from the second database but lets say we assume we already have the data from thepublication database already in it so no need to app,ly a snapshot over it, when the pull subscription starts we assume that only transactions in the log reader that occured AFTER the pull subscription was started would be applied. Is this correct?
Then say we need to stop the pull subscription for a short period then start it again (let say so that we can take a back up of the subscriber database and restore the database somewhere else and replication set up between these 2 with no chance of data being althered before the restore had finished) can someone confirm when we start the pull subscription again all the transactions that occurred during the stopped period will be applied when it is started again OR will it be the case that only the transactions since the pull subscription was restarted will be applied
Cheers

I am using RMO to synchronize an updateable transactional pull subscription from Sql Express SP2 to Sql Server 2005 64-bit Standard Edition. The data propogates from the server to the client, but changed data on the client does not replicate to the server. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I've a merge rep running with 4 subscribers for a while. Now I
wanted to add another subscriber and when I open the publisher
in the pull subscription assistant dialog, there are no publications
in it. (even not if i switch to "allow anonymous sub") But every-
thing seems to be alright wirh the publication itself! It even doesn't
work to select the publication in a pull subs. from an other db on the
same server! Any ideas?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Hi All,
Can push and pull subscriptions be configured on the publisher/distributer server?
We have server A running SQL Server 2000 configured as Publisher/Distributor and also a Push subscription (transactional replication) to Server B configured as Subscriber.
The idea was to have Server B as backup server if Server A goes down. Users will continue to update data in server B till server A is up.
Once server A is up, I want to synchronise the up-to-minuit date from Server B to Server A in the form of Transactional replication configured as "Pull Subscription" from Server A.
Is that possible?
Thanks

Hello,
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 -
Publisher B01 -Subscriber 127.0.0.1SQLEXPRESS -Distributor B01 -PublisherDB DBS -

SubscriptionType 2 -DistributorSecurityMode 1 -Validate 3 -InternetURL
https://www.company.com/Synch/replisapi.dll -InternetSecurityMode 0 -InternetLogin USER1 -
InternetPassword PWD1 -SubscriberType 0
The subscription to the publication X has been created with the following T-SQL script:
USE DBS
EXEC sp_addmergepullsubscription
@publisher = N'B01',
@publication = N'X',
@publisher_db = N'DBS',
@subscriber_type = N'anonymous',
@sync_type = N'automatic',
@subscription_priority = 0.0;
I've also tried to check subscription information on the server 127.0.0.1SQLEXPRESS using the following:
sp_helpsubscription_properties N'B01', N'DBS', N'X'
but the result set is empty. When I run sp_helpsubscription_properties
I get the same empty result. But the subcription is anonymous and when I synchronize it using RMO - it works.
Could you please advice what could cause the problem?
Thank you.

Hi I want to Set up Such Merge Replication, Which can can Synchronize With out Network, Means Syncronization using CD.
Also When the Network connectivity will be available then it should do synchronization
I wants to transfer some file using CD only those changes to database which hasn't been synchronized, thats why Backup will not work.
Pls Help me, or tell me wether it is possible or not.
Tell me some work around, or ask me details,
You got to help me out, Otherwise I will loss trust in MSDN Forums.

Hello.
I've been having an error when downloading the snapshot agent from our Publisher.
The articles selected are all the tables and all the stored procedures.
The Subscription is created programmatically and so is the synchronization. When trying to synchronize for the first time and when the subscriber tries to download the snapshot I have the following error:
Error messages:
The schema script 'Distrito_2.sch' could not be propagated to the subscriber. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201001)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147201001
The process could not read file 'GESZifuncAFRODITE$SILVITEST_GESZIF_GESZIF20070621182845Distrito_2.sch' due to OS error 3. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL20143)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL20143
The system cannot find the path specified.
(Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL3)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL3
The snapshot folder is at c:GESZifSnapshotFolder and the unc is \AfroditeSnapshot.
I'm getting a little desperate with this because we really need to propagate the schema changes around the subscribers.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
We have setup transactional replication between 2 databases on SQL Server 2000 SP3a (~70GB), using a concurrent snapshot (to prevent locking out of the live database) to initilaise the data and a pull subscription from the second database.
From analysing the msdistribution_history table in the distribution database on the subscriber it appears that the snapshot is being applied in a continuous loop to the subscriber database. Viewing the comments column in the msdistribution_history table we can see the following sequence of events occuring
Initialising
Applied script 'snapshot.pre'
Then it applies all the schema files .sch
Then it applies all the index files .idx
The it bulk copies the data in (bcp)
Then it creates the Primary Keys
Then it applies all the trigger files .trg
Then it applies all the referential integrity files .dri
These all complete successfully but then the process kicks off again immediately after reapplying the snapshot. We are unaware of any settings that may be causing this.
Any help on what maybe causing this would be much appreciated.
Hi all,
I have following problem:
I'm developing a Windows Mobile application, which is using RDA Pull for retrieving data from SQL Server 2005 database to PDA. Please, see the example:
Code Snippet
using (SqlCeEngine engine = new SqlCeEngine(connStr))
{
engine.CreateDatabase();
}
serverConnStr="Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=.;User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=Demo;Password=xxx";
using (SqlCeRemoteDataAccess rda = new SqlCeRemoteDataAccess(
Configuration.Default.SyncServerAddress, "", "", connStr))
{
rda.Pull("MyTable", "SELECT * FROM mytable", serverConnStr, RdaTrackOption.TrackingOffWithIndexes, "ErrorTable");
}
Everythink works fine, when I use 'sa' user account in serverConnStr.
But, when I change conn string to:
"Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=.;User ID=test;Initial Catalog=Demo;Password=test"
the sqlcesa30.dll cannot connect to SQL Server database.
In the sqlcesa30.log then I found following line:
Code Snippet
2007/04/17 10:43:31 Thread=1EE30 RSCB=16 Command=PULL Hr=80040E4D Login failed for user 'test'. 18456
The user 'test' is member of db_owner, db_datareader and public roles for the Demo database and in SQL Server Management Studio I'm able to login to the Demo database with using the 'test' users credentials and I'm able to run the select command on 'mytable'.
So, what's wrong? Why the sqlcesa30.dll process cannot login to the Demo database, and from another application with using the SAME connection string it works?
Please help.
Thank you.

It seems to me that if a scheduled SSRS report subscription fails ( Status Message - An error has occurred during report processing) , that I actually need to delete the subscription and reconfigure it from scratch. The scheduled job doesn't try to run again automatically (say the next Monday on a weekly Monday schedule).
Is there a way to "reset" a failed subscription without have to recreate the entire subscription?
Thank you

Existing subscription already contains table included in the new subscription.
What are the possible causes of this merge replication error?
Could it be caused by a SQL Server Compact Edition User trying to sync their .sdf file after their subscription has already expired on the SQL Server?
Would you expect to see a different message if a SQL Server Compact Edition user tried to sync a subscriber database (.sdf file) with merge replication if it's been longer than the subscription retention period since their last sync?
I need a stored procedure that can drop and recreate any table in a DB.
How could I find out all information pertinent to a table and able to generate the create statement dynamically in the preocedure then drop it and recreate the table.
Thank you and please help.
I want to drop table and then recreate. It's referenced by many table and I dont want to drop all constraints referencing to it. Is there any feature like "switch off/on constraints" in MSSQL?(6.5)

Dear All,
after searching continuously for removing the suspect mode of MSDB database, i've found a great article in net.but i dont understand how to proceed. please explain me the steps....
1.Detach the damaged msdb. You can't just detach msdb because you're not allowed to detach system databases. However, you can if you start the server with trace flag 3608. I did this by shutting down the server, navigating to the directory 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBinn' and doing the following: start sqlservr.exe -c -T3608
2.Move or rename the damaged msdb files (msdbdata.mdf and msdblog.ldf in the 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData' directory)
3.Run the instmsdb.sql script in the 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLInstall' directory
4.Shutdown and restart the server without the 3608 trace flag

I want to create a clean copy of my DB now that it is done. So it can be moved to another Server. It has some sample data in some tables that I would like to keep and some in other table that I don't. How can I do this?

Due to a server move of our SQL databases something 'strange' happend: one of the login accounts disappeared.
When I try to recreate it, SQL gives me back an error stating the account already exists. Read something about loginaccounts becoming orphaned but don't know how to solve it. The login account is a Windows (AD) account and not a SQL account (both requiring different methods of fixing?). How can I recreate just this single account?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hello
I am trying to recreate a MySQL database on a new domain. The original database was exported into about 40 .SQL text files. I am importing these .SQL text files into a new database using phpmyadmin. When I attempt to import the first of these files, I get a "fatal error". It says the upload time has exceeded the 300 second limit. How do I set up the server so there is no upload time limit? Or how would you approach a solution to this problem? There are about 40 of these text files and each file varies in size between 5 and 15mb. Is it possible to split individual files in half or 3 parts and import that way? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
