Hi all,
Is there a way to replicate all data in a table but on certain columns avoid throwing a conflict? I have serveral SQL servers running Tx-Rep and almost all of the tables contain a DateModified field. I don't really need to check for conflicts on this data but want to keep it in tact as much as possible.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
Although I am familiar with SQL commands I have never worked with SQL server before and find myself at a loss for which direction to take. I have a database for equipment reservations. I need to write a procedure to notify the end-user if a specific piece of equipment is already checked out during the time frame requested. I'm reading up on stored procedures and triggers and not sure which one (if either) is appropriate to use. Any suggestions? Thanks,

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello everybody,
we are running business critical application in 24*7 enviroment. Application is written in java and use JDBC 1.2 to read and write data into SQL 2005 SP2. We also use push transactional replication and as a part of this replication we run snapshot agent regulary.
Problem is that our java application receives regulary error: "Could not complete cursor operation because the table schema changed after the cursor was declared." After some further investigation with Profiler we found out, that snapshot agent calls sp_MSreplupdateschema with high probability this procedure changes at least modify_date of some tables included in replication. In profiler we also found that JDBC broadly uses cursors to access data. After the call sp_MSreplupdateschema all cursores declared before the call failed.
We tried to setup JDBC driver not to use cursors by setting SelectMethod=direct in configurations file. But this started deadlocks.
From my point of view it`s legitim to use cursors and snapshot agent together. The question is why snapshot agent modify table schema and how to solve this problem?
I send same question into Replication forum. Till now without any answer. I hope to have more luck there.
Thanks in advance for any advice
hi all
let's say i have three publications running on a network of one central server and four shops.
- a merge replication that keeps the price-table up to date between all shops and the central server
- a transactional replication of the arrived_orders-table from the central server to the shop in case
- a transactional replication of the sold_products-table fromt he shops to the central server.
the whole replication network runs on a distribution database that is located on the central server.
now, i've noticed already a few times, when a conflict occurs in one of the replications, also all other replications stop working. (for example when the transactional replication can not insert a line in the sold_products table because of a violation against a UNIQUE constraint in the central server).
Is it normal that also the merge replication and the other transactional replication don't do their inserts, updates etc any more????
Thanks
Hi Everyone!
Here another post on replication.
When conflict occur, I want the user to be able to select witch row to keep and witch to delete.
I've look for system stored procedure, that could help me do the resolution but I've founded nothing.
So I've thought that I could do it by hand, with UPDATE/DELETE query
Take the row in the %TABLE_NAME%_Conflict table and copy it into the real table, than delete the row.
I this the good way of doing it?
Is there any other way?
Thanks !

How can I get sql server to log to the windows event long when a conflict occurs so that I can set up a notification alert. I have gone to the replication alerts in enterprise manager and set one up but it is never triggered and there is never anything in the windows event log.

I am using MSDE 2000 for my replication. the problem is that althought at time creating publication it inserts GUID into every table but if one table in 2 nodes has same primary key, it inserts only one row ( accorrding to prority ). there are some Conflict Reslover methods that can be used for this purpose. i wanted to ask that is there any other way for me to resolve this conflict. i am asking for a new way because my database schema has been created and a lot of coding behalf of that schema has been done.
I'd be thankful if you guide me.

Hi..
I have configured publisher, distributer,subscriber... and tried to replicate it... it has done successfully...
When i try to add datas to the publisher ... it says
"conflict error"
can you please tell me how to check the replication is successfull or not.
and i want to add datas to publisher so that it should frequently updated in subscriber...
Hi
I faced with strange problem.
From time to time, during syncronization I get the following errors at the subscriber:
ERROR: -2147200992
SOURCE: Merge Replication Provider
TEXT: The merge process could not store conflict information for article 'Products'. Check the publication properties to determine where conflicts records are stored. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write.
ERROR: 2812
SOURCE: OFF1SQLEXPRESS
TEXT: Could not find stored procedure 'MSmerge_cft_sp_49D28CEAFF8A4ACC5C5462B5027D4E4D'.
ERROR: -2147199481
SOURCE: Merge Replication Provider
TEXT: The Merge Agent was unable to update information about the last synchronization at the Subscriber. Ensure that the subscription exists at the Subscriber, and restart the Merge Agent.
After I refresh the snaphot at the publisher, these errors disappear and the syncronization is completed without any problem. And I can sync easy again week or two..
What is the problem?
What is the right solution?
Yep, I can continue to refresh the snapshot each time when the error appears, but..
maybe there is another approach?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
i think i have serious problem. i have almost 20,000 rows with the following conflict on a table (generated by merge replication over a period of around 3 weeks) :
'The row was updated at 'SubscriberServer3.DatabaseA' but could not be updated 'at 'PublicationServer1.DatabaseA'. Metadata mismatch'
i have 20 remote subscribers & 1 publisher. The above message originates from practically everywhere.
Besides dropping(not practical at the moment) & recreating replication to get rid of them, what else can i do to resolve this problem?? Do i have to resolve this problem row by row?? i'm at my wit's end. Please help!!
Thanx in advance.
I have been evaluating merge replication, 'push' subscription on SQL Server 2014. If the default resolver is used (I refer to @article_resolver parameter of sp_addmergearticle), all seems to work as expected. However if I use "Microsoft SQL Server Subscriber Always Wins Conflict Resolver" (or any other MS standard resolver for that matter), if the Subscriber is on a different machine, the merge agent invariably gives the following error: "The process could not initialize <resolver_name>. Verify that the component is registered correctly."
This does not happen if the Subscriber is on the same machine as the Publisher and Distributor.
The problem seemed to exist in SQL Server 2008 according to some posts but it has been apparently fixed since then. I've tried the following:
- @partition_options = 0, as was suggested somewhere.
- Copied ssrpub.dll (the resolver dll) to the Subscriber machine (should not really matter as this is 'push' subscription?)
- Registered ssrpub.dll with regsvr32 on the Publisher/Distributor machine.
I've also run sp_enumcustomresolvers on the Publisher machine, and it happily showed all standard resolver, including the "Microsoft SQL Server Subscriber Always Wins Conflict Resolver".
Another thought is, I'm using SQL Server Express as the Subscriber (on the remote machine). Perhaps it does not support custom resolvers? (I'm using the full SQL Server in the 'local subscriber' variant, which does work OK as I mentioned before).
Note also that if I create a new publication via SSMS, the Resolver tab of the Article Properties dialog is empty, i.e. it does not list any resolver. The same tab contains the full list of resolvers though, if opened for an existing publication.
I have gone through BOL and various online resources including this one and I can't find any examples on how to use custom conflict resolvers to generate a result row which is a combination of the rows to be merged.
BOL says it can be done, but suitable examples are missing. I have found various posts requesting examples from up to a year ago, but can see no replies with relevant information
In particular I would like to see examples of
1) A stored procedure based custom conflict resolver
2) A business logic handler written in VB .Net
Here's hoping

We have merge replication running with anamous subscribers
We have generested lots of views tables and stored procedures like
sp_ins_C435D35DDEC04FE2517CCD52A9024EC4
ctsv_07BA7383A12B4654B4D3A69B3053B227
aonflict_DH_tblReplicationRegion
How do we get rud of these I am concerned it will fill up the publisher database
Can any one advise
Does anyone know how to check when a distribution job has finished
distributing a snapshot programatically?
I am writing an app that adds subscribers programatically. It first add the subscription (which creates a new snapshot) and after the snapshot is done, the distributor gets invoked automatically. Because I need to access the subscriber database after the publication is pushed I need to wait until
the distributor has finished its work.
Any help would be greatly apreciated! Thanks.

Hi
Sorry for asking what may be a rookie question... We have configured transactional peer-to-peer replication in a testing environment with two servers, each publishing and subscribing to each other. If we write a piece of code that updates the same row on both servers with different values, we are not seeing data conflict issues. The data updated on server 1 propagates to server 2, but at the same time data updated on server 2 is updated on server 1. This leaves the records on each server out of data.
I expected my test case to produce errors, but instead I got inconsistent data. How do you turn on data consistency checking?
Thanks in advance
Hi!
Does anybody know if there are any conflicts using an XP computer as server and running SQL 7.0 on it?
I have a laptop using Windows XP, that I also have installed SQL 7.0 on (desktop version). I use it both as a client and as a server. As a client I am connecting to the NT server and it is working perfectly. When I try to run my SQL developed software against the local server though, I get a message saying
"-2147217900 - Duplicate record or Record is in use.
The request for procedure "TABLE NAME" failed because "TABLE NAME" is a table object"
Any suggestions how to solve this?
thanx in advance

I'm using merge replication between 10 SQL server 7.0 SP2 machines. One central server is the publisher and 9 subscribers. I’ve setup an alert to get a message in case of conflicts. I defined it to trigger everytime the performance counter conflicts/sec rises above 0.
After some experimenting this seems now to work reliable, but there is still one point which bothers me. All conflicts are kept in the conflict history and everytime I get a message through the alert the number of copnflicts stated in the message increases by one.
Also if I open view replication conflicts in EM all conflicts can still be viewed even those I manually resolved. I can't even find a way to seen which conflicts are new ones and which have been resolved already. Does anybody know a way how to reset this numbers without going through all the conflict tables.

I have a database thats got sql as the engine and access 2000 for the client side. and every time I edit a record this "Write Conflict" comes up. I dont know why its doing that but Idont want that happening whent the database goes live and my users start editing records. what do I, apparently its a Replication Conflict

Hi all,
I have a db server which was installed with Collation 'SQL_Latin_General_CP1_CS_AS' and now I have to replace this server with a new server and I want to install this server with Collation 'SQL_Latin_General_CP1_CI_AS'.
I am using Linked Servers to collect some data from my Sybase database which has "Code Page 850 (Multilingual) character set,us_english,Binary ordering, for use with Code Page 850 (cp850)."
But with new SQL server(case-insensitive settings), I am unable to run a select query (joining a local server and sybase server) and I get an error message "cannot resolve collation conflict for equal to operation"
I have tried changing property of linked server by specifying Remote server collation to true and Collation Name as 'SQL_Latin_General_CP1_CS_AS' as well as 'SQL_Latin_General_CP850_Bin' but I do get the same error message.
Could any of you please help me in this regard ?
Thanks in advance.

Moving code from Sybase to SQL Server 2005. I have two tables. One table (vINID) is reset and populated right before this code runs. The other table (vINPA) is a table in the database used by the Front End App. This is the error I get when I try and run on our SQL Server 2005.

Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_BIN" in the equal to operation.

vINID.BLIV_ID,
ISNULL(vINPA.RCPT_AMT,0) AS RCPT_AMT
FROM Reporting_DEV.dbo.RPT_04597_INID AS vINID -- table re-populated

I have merge replication set with with one publisher and three subscribers (push subscription). From time to time I get the following in the conflict table:
"The same row was updated at both 'Publisher.database' and 'Subscriber.database'. The resolver chose the update from 'Publisher.database' as the winner"
This is weird because the UPDATE only happend at the given subscriber. I checked the publisher and all other subscribers and there was never an UPDATE on this table. Also, the update at the publisher was actually the record that was already present.
I'm kinda stuck here. Any help or comments are greatly appreciated.
i have a dts package that is going to run at night and pull data from2 tables in an Oracle db and load it to 2 staging tables that mypackage creates in sql server 2000. i then execute a few sprocs toand columns, indexes, etc. after that all happens successfully i wantto delete the two production tables and rename the staging tables totake their place.the problem is that when i run the sproc to add the indexes,constraints, etc i get an error because objects with the same nameexist on the 2 production tables. i can't delete the productiontables until the very last step. i thought about generating a randomnumber in my sproc and using it as the name of the index but thatseems crude and messy. any ideas?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running merge replication on SQL Server 2005. Included in replication are 6 Subscribers and one Publisher/Distributor. Replication compatibility level is SQL 2005 and I am using row-level tracking. Servers are synchronized in 5 minutes each (so gap between two consecutive syncs of one server is 30 minutes)
Earlier all of this was on compatibility level SQL 2000, since all servers were upgraded from 2000 to 2005. But 10 days ago I upgraded and replication compatibility to 2005. I did not initialize subscription, since I had data in place and db's ready for merge replication.
Since that 10 days ago I have column update conflict on each row change. Not just if it is changed at same time at different subscribers. For example, if I change one row today, and somebody else changes it three days later on other subscriber it counts as a conflict. He always chooses good (updated) version of data as winner, but it is quite annoying having 15000 conflicts in one table daily. And it makes harder to track other conflicts.
Does it have anything to do with row level column tracking, or it is some known bug? Or, even better, if anyone knows how to avoid it. I was thinking about changing it to column level, but then I need to reinitialize subscriptions which means sending of 9 GB data through some pretty slow lines (256 kbp/s), or few hours work to drop existing subscriptions and create new one's. Maybe I would to this if I knew that column level will help.
