Replication Problem Where Distributor && Subcriber On Same Machine
Mar 15, 2004
What I would like to do is set up transactional replication from server1 (Publisher) to server2 (Subscriber), with server2 acting as the (Distributor).
I am successful on server2 in allowing server2 as a distributor for server1. When I try to configure replication on server1 to use server2 as a distributor and subscriber I get this message once
"
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not enable 'server2' as a Subscriber.
Error 14071: Could not find the Distributor or the distribution database fom the local server. The Distributor may not be installed, or the local server may not be configured as a Publisher at the Distributor.
"
and this mesage for each database I enable for subscription, I get this message.
"
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not enable database 'x' for snapshot or transactional replications.
Error 20028: The Distributor has not been correctly installed. Could not enable database for publishing. The replication 'publish' of database 'x' has been set to false.
"
The last message I get is
"
SQL Server Enterprise Manager successfully enabled 'server2' as the Distributor for 'server1'.
"
This message is apparently false.
When I try to Configure Publishing, Subscribers and Distributing... on server1, I get the message
"
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not retrieve information about the Distributor or the distribution database.
"
In an attempt to fix this I:
1. disable publishing on server1,
2. disable publising and distribution on server2.
3. enable publishing and distribution on server2.
4. enable publishing on server1 using server2 as distributor.
Again I get errors on step 4.
I have even tried re-installing SQL Server 2000 on server2 with no improvement.
Can some one please shed some light on this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Server A houses the Production DB which services an OLTP system. Transactional replication is configured on this server which has two subscribers - on two separate servers (servers B and C). The Distribution database currently resides on Server A (which is also the Publisher).
Server B is on the same LAN as Server A (on the same rack). I'm considering moving the Distribution database from Server A to Server B to offload some of the processing overhead from Server A.
Are there any gotchas/performance problems associated with having the Distribution database (remote distributor) and the Subscriber on the same server (server B) in a transaction replication topology?
Please advise or point me to the appropriate documentation - I haven't found anything that addresses this specific question...thanks in advance,
Smitha

I was wondering if you could set up multiple distributors for one database?For example:Server A needs to publish data to server B so I set up server A's distributor as server B. Later Server A needs to publish data to server C so I want to set up the distributor for this replication to use server C.I don't think this is possible as you need to set up the distributor for the entire DB when its created not for each individual replication job.Any help is appreciated.Nick

Completed SQL 2000 Transactional Replication from distributor/publisher to Subscriber. (with identity problem solved)
NOW wizard disallows set up subscriber to publish back to the Distributor/Publisher. "Distributor not known" message on Subscriber server when we open configure Publisher-Subscriber tool.
Any experience using this wizard to set this up would be appreciated.

Hello,I'm trying to set up transactional replication on two SQL2k Servers.Unfortunately I stuck on the following problem:I use 'Configure Publishing and Distribution Wizard' , I make one of theservers (publisher) its own distributor, then I set all the paths .Afterpressing 'Finish' button, the wizard tries to perform next step i.e.'Configuring Distributor' and I get the error:"Error 14114: '(null)' is not configured as a Distributor". Does anyone haveidea what I should do in order to solve the problem?I tried to run procedures manually, and I get exactly the same error when Itry to execute sp_adddistributondbThanks,Piotrek

What is the minimum SQL Server version I can use on my replication distributor server? My publisher and subscriber(s) will all be Enterprise Edition (64 bit). However, it seems awefully wasteful to put Enterprise Edition on a box that is just used for distribution. That's another $15K for a server that doesn't do much. Can I use a lower version (Express, Developer, Standard)?
Thank you,
Ben Wolf

Sorry for the odd format but that is what happens when you paste here! This is data from our Job History for a "Replication Distributor" Job Step Type. Here is how I interprete it: The job step started on the 19th. It restarted itself twice on the 20th. Then it restarted itself twice on the 21st. Then it restarted itself 3 times on the 22nd. And finally it restarted itself on the 23rd. Notice the progression of Retries_Attempted. When Retries_Attempted exceeds 10, the step will fail and the service will shut-down, which is what I have seen in the past. I conclude the Advanced Settings of Retry Attempts is not per "Event" but "total tries no matter how many successful retries are encountered." I thought a successful retry would reset the Retries_Attempted. But it does not. Is this correct? This implies that to keep the distributor up, we should set the Retry Attempts" setting to its max!
Status Run_Date Run_Time Run_Duration Retries_attempted

Hello Guys,
I have the following scenario:
PC1 : located in Dubai representing my laptop
PC2: located in Denver ,
Both pcs are connected to each other via the internet as i am using Aliases ,they can both access and see each other using SQL Auth.
I want to implement Merge Replication to Synchronize TestDB ,
I have NO DOMAIN connnecting them.
I Created a new publication ,under security i asked the agent to use the Sa account to connect
When launching the rep monitor i get the following error:
"Replication Monitor could not connect to Distributor 'laptop'."
"Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)"
Both Publisher and Distributer are on my Laptop ,why cant they connect to each other?
Another Question : could i implement Traditional Merge replication to synchronize my DBs or do i need to configure Web Synch in Merge rep to enable connecting via the internet?!
Thanks Guys!

We have a setup with one Publisher Server and 15 Subscribers with merge replication configured for all subscribers. The current Database size is approximately 3 GB expected to grow to 10 GB in next 1 year. We wanted to know what benefits would we incur if we add an additional seperate distributor server (hardware box). Also, what is the approx. size of a database where a seperate distributor server (hardware box) is recommended.
Thanks in advance

We have inherited a remote distribution db where the password has been lost. I would like to confirm that if you change the password in the distributor properties-->publishers--> administrative link password that the password will be changed on all publishers without having to resnap the publications?

We are going away from a 2003 Windows Server OS with SQL Server 2008 R2 to a 2012 Windows Server with 2012 SQL Server. Both the distributor and subscriber resides on 2003 Windows Server and the focus will be to migrate those databases to the 2012 SQL Server.
We would also like to avoid sending down a new snapshot due to logic in the replication process (major headache to clean up data). what's the best approach in moving the distributor and subscriber databases without having to run a snapshot?
In theory and needs testing:
1. Work with business users to get downtime
2. Stop sql apply so no new changes are going to the Oracle publisher database
3. Remove subscription, publication and distributor from current replication
4. Oracle DBA to clear out replication related objects - fresh clean slate
5. Use log shipping to apply last t-log and restore db with Keep_Replication
6. Set up new distribution, publication (keep existing object unchanged), and subscriber (without initialization) Will this work?

I am not able to connect to Remote Distributor from Publisher using Administrative Link Password. I have configured the Distributor on 1 m/c and Publisher on another m/c. When i use the wizard to configure the publisher using remote distributor. I have also specified the same Admin Password link (distributor_admin) in the distributor m/c.
I am getting the following message:

After migrating MSDE from sp3a to sp4 (in order to fix CE replication bug) I can't sync to MSDE.
I got the following error code: [29045]->[Initializing SQL Server Reconciler has failed.] so I've looked into SQL Server CE log file and I've found the following error message:

I've already tried without success
Uninstalling all SQL Server 2000 (EE) instances (except for the "no instance")
Unistalling and re-install MSDE (sp4)
Re-registering sscerp20.dll.
Rebooting server.
Restarting IIS.
Any ideas?

Hi
I have a setup where I need to replicate the database which is actually subscribing from another database. The current setup is all in SQL Server 2000. I need to now setup a Distrbutor on a SQL server 2005 and publish the database using this distributor to another server on SQL server 2000.
Has anybody done this before. If yes what will I need to check. Can you please let me know :-
1) SQL Server 2000 which SP should be installed to support this enviroment.
2) SQL Server 2005 which SP should be installed to support this environment.
3) Any thing that I need to look out for.
Thanks for any inputs on this.

Hi
I'm trying to set up replication from one SQL server to another.
The publishing server is not a member of a domain and is located in a hosting center (but we have full control over the server). I can set up a Snapshot publication just fine.
The subscribing server is located in another remote location and is a member of a domain. Here I can also set up the subscription without errors.
The errors, I think, comes when the snapshot is about to be created, the error is, on the publisher server:
[298] SQLServer Error: 18456, Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'. [SQLSTATE 28000]
And the snapshot is not created.
Is it even possible to set up replication like this. I need to transfer the data from one sql server to another so we have a working "backup" so to speek if the other server does not respond.

Help!
I am using Script Transformation to output a new column as image[DT_IMAGE]
field to store serialized object. In the VB script, the sample code as
Row.serializedobject.AddBlobData ( binaryArrayReturnedFromC#dll )
The package always runs fine on my developing machine and will halt on other
machine at AddBlobData after certain number row records were processed. I am
stuck here. Anyone has any suggestion?
What I need is reading data from mutiple tables in one database and writing
into a single table in another datable. In order preserve all the columns
data, I use input column fields to construct a new object and then serialize
it, and store the serialize data into detination db table. (The object and
serialization function is coming from c# dll.)
Dim b As BusinessLicense = New BusinessLicense()
b.ApprovalDate = Row.approvaldate
b.BusinessId = Row.busid
b.BusinessName = Row.busname
b.NaicsCode = Row.naicscode
b.NaicsDescription = Row.naicsdescr
b.OwnerName = Row.ownername
b.Phone = Row.phone
b.Pkey = Row.pkey
b.RenewalDate = Row.renewaldate
b.StartDate = Row.startdate
b.Suite = Row.suite
Row.serializedobject.AddBlobData(Serializer.Serialize(b)) '''----This is blocking line
Row.infoType = BusinessLicense.TYPE
Both machine is xp with sp2. and standard SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06

Hi to everyone,
I'm facing a problem that drives me crazy. I've a web application that has the following problem. When I test the application on my developement machine all runs fine, but when I put into production server there is a problem in connection pooling. Look at the following image, the blue line is the number of connection in the pool and the violet line is the number of connection reclaimed. From the image it is clear that connection are returned on the pool only in block, maybe when the garbage collection pass and reclaim the object. The strange thing is that on my developement machine all is good, and also I'm using Enterprise Library and the connection are managed internally.- Thanks to everyone for any help.

Hullo all
I have two machines,
One is a standalone machine and the other is on a domain network. How can I run a stored procedure/job on the standalone machine from the domain machine ?
running the procedure as a Domain user results in a failed job/stored proc.
also creating an sql login and attempting to run it as that user also fails. How can I solve this problem ?
please e-mail me at wayde@sunnygrp.com if you have any thoughts...

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there was any white papers on the migration part from microsoft?
Apparently the situation is like this
Currently installed MOSS 2007 in a testing pc as application server. This application server will refer another testing database server which running SQL Server 2005.
Now, wanted to move this 2 temporary server into another 2 new servers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, it cannot be done by using image like Norton Ghost due to difference hardware spec.
So, if I install another fresh copy of MOSS2007 & SQL server 2005 in that 2 new servers, how can I migrate the contents, documents, etc from the testing database server?
It would be great if someone can show me the links to kb article. Thanks

After extensive testing I have found that bcp's run almost twice as fast on my dedicated Distributor than on either the Publisher or Subscriber. I was wondering if there is a way to make the bcp's spawned by creating a Snapshot run on the distributor and not the Publisher.
Any comments?

Hi There
If i apply Sql Server 2005 SP1 to a remote distributor can i keep all publication and subscriptions intact?
I am hoping i simply stop all repl jobs on the distributor, apply SP1 and then restart the jobs.
Is this correct ?
Thanx
