I am setting up  transaction replication in SQL Server 2012 with three individual servers for Distributor, Publisher, Subscriber, But I want to know how to set the folder for Snapshot agent like whether the folder should be a network shared folder or normal local folder.
View 4 RepliesI 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:

Can another one help me? Urgent!!
Hello,
Are there any requirements that dictate the SQL Server version for the distribution agent for a SQL 2000 publisher with a transactional push subscription to a SQL 2005 subscriber?
Thanks in advance,
John
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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a wired situation..!I set up transactional replication on one of my development server (SQL2000 Dev Edition with sp4).It is running fine without any issues and all of a sudden, i noticed inmy repication monitor tab under Publisher where I usually see thepublication is empty now.I do see the snapshot agent, log reader and distribution agent under myagents inside the replication Monitor. But its usefull to see all 3agents in one window under publisher before. What happend? Is there anyway to get that inside that monitor? Has someone encountered thissitation before? Please advise....After that I tried to create a new set of replication on differentdatabase on the same server and i dont see those either underReplication Monitor - Publishers....All it says is (No Items)....I would appreciate any help to correct this issue...

hi,
I'm reading the MS online docs about replication. there's something not so clear until so far.
I have one central server and 7 client servers.
Sometimes new data is entered at one client server. This should be replicated (when client comes online) to the Central Server (merge replication).
Also, the other way, once the central server gets new data (that was replicated from a client), it should be again replicated to all 6 other clients (from the central server).
now, who should i configure as the distributor, publisher and subscriber?
I AM TRYING TO SET UP A DISTRIBUTOR ON SQL SERVER 2005.
THE LAST STEP WHEN I AM TRING TO CONNECT I GET THE ERROR BELOW:

Hi - hoping some folks here can help me. I've got a SQL 2000, Service Pack 4 database that I need to publish, but I'm getting the following error on the exec sp_addpublication statement when I try to set up publication in Management Studio:
Msg 8526, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_addpublication, Line 802
Cannot go remote while the session is enlisted in a distributed transaction that has an active savepoint.
I also tried to set up the Publisher in Enterprise Studio, on the theory that the system sproc was not backwards compatible, and there I got this error:
Error 627: Cannot use SAVE TRANSACTION within a distributed transaction
There is one proc in the publisher's database that uses SAVE TRANSACTION, but it isn't currently being run and it isn't dependent on the table being published. Has anybody else encountered this? Any ideas about how to make this go away?
I am investigating scenarios for our new replication strategy and we have 2 very powerfull machines. 1 however more powerful than the other.
The distributor will be pushing (merge) data to 40 replicas around the globe, the database is about 5GB in size and uses dynamic filtering to sort out who needs what data.
The publisher will only be working with the distributor it is not doing any other work.
I am guessing the distributor will have the majorty of the work to do in this case and should have the more powerful machine. Does anyone know if this is correct?
Thanks in Advance

I have Oracle 64-bit drivers installed. I can run SQLPLUS and it works. I can create linked servers to oracle and that works also. I am having this error when I try to add oracle as a publisher. OraOLEDB.Oracle is already set to 'Allow InProces'.

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

hi,
Im I want to configure my sqlserver 2005 server as both subscriber and distributor for transactional replication purposes.
I want to configure the sql server 2000 as the publisher.
When I try to configure the publisher in the sql 2000 server, Im not being able to establish the connection with the distributor 2005 sql server in any of the 2 possible cases.
case1-Using windows authentication- message:need to use management studio or SMO
case2-Using sql server authentication-message:authentication failed
Question:
Is it possible at all to do this? or should I make the distributor to reside in a sql 2000 server?
thank you
For transactional replication, are there any issues and is it even possible to have 32-bit SQL 2000 publisher and SQL 2005 64-bit distributor and subscriber? Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a SQL 2000 Server (publisher & distributor) with around 15 databases being replicated (all using merge replication).
My question is the following:
Is it possible to perform Merge replication from a SQL 2000 (acting as the publisher & distributor) to a SQL 2005 server acting as the Subscriber)?
If anyone has a link to any instructions somewhere that would be great.

Hi,
We are about to alter our replication architecture from
SQL 2K publisher/SQL 2K5 distributor/subscriber
to
SQL 2K publisher, seperate SQL 2K distributor and SQL 2K5 subscriber.
The subscriptions will be pulled from the distributor and pushed to the subscriber. Basically, all the work will be done by the distributor (in the hope of improving performance).
Has anyone had any experience of a similar architecture? All SQL servers are running with the latest service packs.
Hello All,The setting is SQL server 7, on Windows NT.If the distributor can not access the log on the publisher database ( butsubscribers are not deleted yet), will the full backup of the publisherdatabase truncate the transaction log? My guess is, it will not truncate thelog.Can any one confirm please?Thanks,Mokles
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi 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
SQL 2000.
If I have a server setup to use a remote server for replication distribution can I actually change which server is the distributor?
Example
Server1 has publications
Server2 is distributor for Server1's Publication
Server3 is new hardware
Can i Make Server3 replace Server2 as the distributor?
How can I do this?
using SQL 2000,
Can you setup a SQL Cluster to work as a Remote Distributor? Would there be any challenges in doing this?
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
MS recommends to use remote Distributor for mirroring. It looks like it will be a single point of failure. What are my options ? We can't mirror it, is failover clustering the only way to go (SAN being single point of failure) ? How would log shipping work, if I didn't get the very last completed transaction log fast enough to the other machine, so that recovered distribution database would be behind ?
Also, if distributor fails, would my transaction logs on publisher fill up the entire disk space ? Can it be stopped ?
Thank you.
I am planning to have AlwaysON Availability Group setup between Server 1 and Server 2
Server 1 -->Publisher-->2014 SQL Enterprise edition-->Windows Std 2012 --> Always on Primary Replica
Server 2 -->Publisher(when DR happens)-->2014 SQL Enterprise edition-->Windows Std 2012 --> Secondary  Primary
Server 3 -->Subscriber-->2012 SQL Enterprise edition-->Windows Std 2012 --> NOT involved in Always ONÂ
Server 4 -->Subscriber-->2012 SQL Standard edition-->Windows Std 2012 --> NOT involved in Always ONÂ
Server 5(VM)-->Distributor-->2012 Standard edition-->Windows Std 2012-->not involved in Always ON
i know Publisher and subscribers can be mix match of 2014 and 2012 rom the above scenarios can i use (VM)SQL2012 std. as Distributor ? while publisher is being SQL 2014 ent.?
I have 2 servers: #1 -- SQL 2005 SP1 publisher ; #2 -- SQL 2005 SP2 subscriber
originally I had #1 as pub and dist but dist but killing my CPU so I was in the process of moving the dist to #2... Got it all configured and when I tried to add #2 as a dist for #1 it fails when I get to the administrative password screen... It give me an error about how it cannot connect with the given password but under that is says linked server failed.
Since it mentioned linked server I tried to connect via the previous linked server to #2 and it failed... I cannot connect to #2 anymore from #1. I can login directly to #2 and I can use osql to connect to #2 but linked server does not work. I tried all drivers and many configurations...
Any ideas??
Hi,
I am replicating a couple of SQL2K databases via transactional rep and remote 2K distributor to 1 SQL2K5 database.
I want the distributor to email me when/if any of the agents fail etc. In order to set this up, I think that I need the SQL Server service to use a domain account (from error messages that I have been getting). It is currently using a local system account (it was a test box in a previous life).
I have tried this briefly, and found that it lost the publisher details in the replication monitor. Can anyone tell me what the implications for changing the SQL server service user and password are? Am I going to have to tear down and rebuild replication? The SQL Server Agent is fine - I am trying to get the two services in sync.
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

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat 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,

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
