What do I have to do to set up replication over Citrix Metaframe? Right now, the best I can do is to export tables from one database, and then import them into the other database over the Citrix link.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm trying to make an DTS which concet to oracle driver.
When I make an DTS in client SQL Sever installed locally (PC) it does conect. But when I use the client from Citrix MetaFrame it does NOT conect.
Any suggestion?... Thanks in advance.

Hi All
Just wondering if anyone has experience with running SQL Server 7 with Citrix. We currently run Terminal Server for our business and now we are installing SQL Server 7 to run our main software package and we are being told that we should revert to a normal setup with workstations for each user rather than using our P75 terminals that we use with terminal server.
If all the procseeeing is being done by the server then surely we can just use the same low end boxes and just make sure that the server is crunching the data.
Thanks.....
I have some users on Citrix, running an Access front end with ODBCattached tables.In sp_who. on a normal workstation they'd usually show once or maybemore but all with the same hostname so counting actual number of usersis easy, group on loginame,hostname.When someone connects from a Citrix server, I append the connectionnumber to the workstation name in the connect string so the hostnamelooks something like "CITRIXBOXICA-tcp#256" also for terminal servicesthe hostname will look like "GANDALFRDP-Tcp#8".The problem is that on Citrix the user appears twice with a differenttcp number, the hostname is made up of the name of the citrix/ts server+ the environment variable %SESSIONNAME%, which is surely static for asession?Has anyone seen this in Citrix? Does it ghost old connections? I loogedout and in again just now and saw the sessions look like:CITRIXBOXICA-tcp#199 & CITRIXBOXICA-tcp#254 for my user name thenafter re-logging on I got CITRIXBOXICA-tcp#199 & CITRIXBOXICA-tcp#256so that session 199 has stuck there but wasn't visible in sp_who whilenot logged into the Citrix box.

I'm wondering about the behaviour of the HOST_ID() function with clients running on a Citrix server.
As I said in my post about "dynamical views", I'd like to use the host_id as a terminal ID, assuming this number will be unique.
In my current configuration, each user has a client on his workstation which connects to SQL Server, an it works fine. But what happens if i migrate my clients on a Citrix server. Will I always have the same host_id or not ?
I have an Access front-end with a SQL backend. The access front-end connects to a different database dependent on the user and function . The user is prompted to select a database and a new dsn is passed to reconnect the sql tables to the selected database. The program is run both locally and over Citrix. The program has run without error for 2+ years. Yesterday, I made a change to an ocx on 1 form and now I cannot connect via Citrix. The application runs without error locally. When I try to connect via Citrix, I get a SQL Login error SQL State 01S00 Error 4060. When I step through the code locally, the code runs as it should and does not error.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I'm at a loss as to why i am getting the following error:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component CLSID {E44847F1-FD8C-4251-B5DA-B04BB22E236E}failed due to the following error: 80040154
I am calling the package from a C# application which i have installed within a citrix environment. The application works without any trouble on my development machine but as soon as i run the code that executes the SSIS pacakge i get the error. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is causing this?
Many thanks in advance,
Grant
I need to replicate from a SQL 7.0 server to SQL 6.5 server.
Has anyone done it, or does anyone know if it can be done?
Thanks in advance

Hi gang,
I'm 99% sure this is possible, but I wanted to confirm before I go upgrading one box in our replication scheme without having to do all the others (which are geographically dispersed):
Can an SP2 box replicate (merge replication in our case) with pre-SP2 servers? Most of our servers don't even have SP1 applied, and we're ready to upgrade, but I want to be sure I can do them one at a time rather than all at once.
Cheers,
Matt
Can we replicate views in SQL 2000 or SQL 7.0 ? If yes please let us know How
Thanks
We are performing snapshot replications from one server to another, however the permissions are not being taken across.
When we manually reset them, the next replication will quite happily remove all permissions.
Any help appreciated.

I am trying to create an auto off-site backup of an entire database. This would include databases and users. It should also include changes made throughout the day.
Something challenging about this is I want it to also include design changes that may have been done throughout the day.
I understand log shipping or replication can deal with the data part of my solution. But how can I copy over the logins, users, and design changes?
Is it possible to have design changes replicated from publishers to subscribers?
I am using Sql2000 and have 6 servers. On this 6 servers 4 servers have the same database
MY QUESTION is i need a script or advice that will help to do this:
Every time data chages in 1 of the 4 servers that have the same database, I want all changes to happen in the other 3 so that they must always have the same information
Good Day Gurus
I posted a question about replicating logins to the database and the answer i got about doing a DTS to transfer logins is not good for me, is it possible to replicate syslogins tables so that i can do this if so, how because they are not listed Database and Publications when i try to create a publication, only individual created databases can be seen.
The reason for this is because when the DBA decides to change the user permission, i want the info to be merge replicated to the subscriber. At this moment i can run the DTS to transfer the login but it won't know when the logins have been updated and hence i won't know when to run it.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I am very new to SQL Server. Plenty of SQL knowledge but the whoe SQL server enviornment is new.
I am working with SQL Server 2005. My task is to generate reports without affecting our live database. I have setup a second server and installed SQL Server 2005 on that too. My thought was that maybe I could mirror or replicate the table I require over to this new server and run my queries from here. Is this easy to do ?
I read that mirroring might not work as it is solely for back up /fall over purposes and that data on the mirrored server would not be accessible.
I have also been looking at SSIS but at the moment this is all a bit like double dutch to me ! Can anyone point me in the right direction, preferably somewhere beginner friendly ie not overly complicated !!
Thanks a mill,
Sophie
I am using Sql 2005 and merge replication. I am relying on the feature where schema changes are replicated to subscribers but I have come across a situation where schema changes stop being replicated.
This is the scenario:
I create a database and publish it for merge replication.
I add subscribers.
If I need to change the published database I can use ALTER TABLE ddl and the subscriber gets the changes.
If I have to add or remove a merge article as part of a database change I specify the @force_invalidate_snapshot=1, @force_reinit_subscription=1. No any ALTER TABLE statements following the article change will NOT be replicated.
Is this a known 'feature'? Is it because @force_reinit_subscription is set to 1?
Can anyone help me?

Hello,
We have four mobile devices that are set up for merge replication via the web. We are not receiving errors but some of the data is not coming over to the devices. If we manually add a record that record will come over, but there is data that is on the server that isn't on the devices. If we run the snapshot for each device (We're using host_name as a filter) nothing happens. If we do validation check we get errors. If we reinitialize all devices it works but the next days data (sql job populates data to the publisher db at night) isn't on the device after syncing the next morning. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a sql 2005 publisher and distributor and a sql 2000 subscribers. for some reason on one of the subscribers i'm getting errors that it can't replicate the UDT's. i tried a new snapshot and made sure it was set not to replicate UDT's but i'm still getting Create Type errors.
would anyone have any idea why it's trying to create UDT's at the subscriber when i specify not to replicate UDT's?
Hi there,
I'm using Sql 2005 merge replication and I have noticed something, I'm not sure if this is true or not:...
My publication is set to replicate schema changes (replicate_ddl = 1). Now, I have noticed that schema changes are only replicated if the current snapshot is valid. Is this right? If so why?
My next question carries on from the first. If I'm about to run a TSQL script on my publisher that will add a column or two to a published table, how do I ensure my snapshot is valid inorder for the ddl changes to be replcated? Should I be using:
EXEC sp_mergearticlecolumn
@publication = <publicationname>,
@article = <article name>,
@force_invalidate_snapshot = 1,
@force_reinit_subscription = 1
on each table I modifiy, after I have added the new column?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
I have a database that is being set up for merge replication (Sql 2005), but there is one table that I only want the schema replicating, not the data - I never want the data to be replicated in either direction. I can see from sp_addmergearticle that you can do something like this for sp's or functions but is it possible to do this for tables?
Regards
Graham
Hello,
I use a merge replication between Sql Server and Sql Server Express.
When I enable a DB for .NET features (eg RoleManager), I have new tables and roles that are created and some GRANT are given on SPs.
When I replicate these DB to another one, none of my roles are replicated and I also loose my roles. Is there a way to replicate also the roles and the permissions ?
Thanks

I am wondering if there is a way to replicate changes in a SQL 2000 DB to 2005 without backing up the DB and restoring it in 2005.
We are running an ERP system using SQL 2000 and are moving to a later version that supports 2005 and we want to test it out before going live but I'd like to sync with the current system from time to time instead of having to convert the DB and get it ready again and again everytime I want to update the data.
Thanks for any help you can offer,

Hi,
I have a number of "join" tables ie joins records from two other tables for example, an employee may be responsible for more than one product so the join table would look like this:
table name: employee_products
Employee_id foreign key from employee table
product_id goreign key from products table
My question is, how do I replication this table? Replication requires all table to have a primary key field. In this case, both fields are foreign keys and I dont have a primary key as the same data appears regularly in either field.
How should I get around this so I can implement replication? I dont want to have to add another field to be the primary key field.
Thanks

Are there any known problems with replicating structure changes (New table, etc...), as well as data in MSSQL Server 7.0?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe're considering one database in the far east, using merge replication with a database in London.
There's a time difference of maybe 7 hours between the two sites - has anyone ideas on conflict resolution (thinking about the Far East updating a record at 16:00 their time, London updates the same record at 15:30 GMT - how does SQL Server know that London's time is the correct record to use?).
Any info gratefully accepted.
Thanks

I have a table that is used for reporting, the problem is that the data in the table is refreshed every 30 minutes with a bulk insert. I am trying to find a way to have two tables that are mirror images of each other and when the loading table is loaded, then the table assumes the identity of the reporting table. The basic prinicpal is I need to have the table be available almost all the time and when the bulk insert is happening, users cannot query. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

We have a database that I would like to replicate on another server but am unable to use regular replication via publish/subscribe due to the fact that the production database has no primary keys on tables, only clustered indexes. The backup db needs to be as close to real-time synchronized as possible and will be in fairly active use most of the time. Has anyone had success in developing such a system? How did you do it and what are the pitfalls? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have SQL Server running on my internal LAN. I want to have a second SQL Server running on a hosted (shared) website. I then would like these servers to talk to each other. At some scheduled time I need to publish data to the web, and I then need to subscribe to data input on the web by various clients. My internal LAN can see the Internet via our cable modem.
What is the best way to do this? What software will I need to run. I'm looking for the big picture.
Thanks for the help everyone.
I want to replicate to an archive database. This means that the subscriber will have data that has been removed from the publisher. In my reading, I haven't seen any discussion of this specific scenario.
Here's what I imagine the solution might be:
EXEC sp_addpublication_snapshot
@publication = N'My_Publication',
@frequency_type = 1 -- only create the snapshot once
GO
...
EXEC sp_addarticle
@publication = N'My_Publication',
@article = N'My_Table',
@source_owner = N'dbo',
@source_object = N'My_Table',
@del_cmd = 'NONE',
GO
I set the publication snapshot to only execute once, that would be during the maintenance window when it is initially installed. Then, on the tables that will contain archived data, I specify that deletes aren't replicated.
Here's my concern: aren't there times when you need to resync?
If you could push a new snapshot that dropped the tables on the subscriber and built the thing up from scratch, then things would sync-up just fine. But in this scenario if you drop the subscriber tables then you've just lost your archive.
What's the best way to handle this?
Thanks,

I have a single table on database A that needs to be replicated to two databases B and C in as-near-to-real-time as possible. The table is cleared every morning, and receives about 40,000 records per hour. Records are only added to the table, never updated or deleted.
I'm wondering what is the best approach to replicate this table :
1 - Transactional Replication
2 - A trigger on the INSERT on table in A that then inserts the record into B and C
3 - Timed jobs running on B and C that pull new records from A
thanks all in advance.
Hi
I have EE 05 installed and need to replicated tables from an odbc connection. How would i go about doing this? I cant find a way to like import tables that i need from the odbc connection.
Thanks!
We had a two-site system go badly wrong as a result of something. The netresult of this was that the publisher had to be completely reformatted andreinstalled. The server has, as a result of this, been given a differentname (went from being a named instance to not being one).Currently the publisher doesn't know it's a replicating system.Is there any way to join these two together so that they just startfrom where they left off, or will I have to re-do all the replicationfrom scratch by various SELECT INTOs to get the data across, thenpushing out fresh subscriptions?Thanks,Jim--Find me at http://www.ursaMinorBeta.co.ukJediGeeks http://www.jedigeeks.com"There's no 'I' in team, but there is a 'me' if you jumblethe letters up a bit." - Dr. House.
