SQL 2000 Transactional Replication

Feb 20, 2008

I doing a transactional replication with two servers. Server A, the Publisher and Distributor. Server B, the Subcriber. I did the replication using a dummy DB for practice purpose and it works fine. When I try to implement the replication in original DB, I found that some tables don't have primary keys and to be able to implement transactinal replication all the replicated tables need to have a primary key. I want to add the primary keys to those tables and also implement the replication but the problem is those tables have data in it. I'm thinking in create the new table and do a DTS to import the data to the new table or it's fine just to modify the table in design to add the primary key "Those table have record in it".

Some of you have any advice to me?

SQL 2000 Transactional Replication Issue

Nov 17, 2006

I have tried setting up transactional push replication using stored procedures and using wizards. I have two Publishers that are their own Distributors, and 1 Subscriber. All servers are running SQL 2000 SP4 build 2187. Replication appears to be working correctly, but on the Subscriber, under Replication > Subscriptions, the replication type is showing as 'Snapshot' instead of transactional for both subscriptions.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Transactional Replication From 2005 To 2000 Issue

Nov 8, 2007

Hi,

I setup transactional replication between 2005-> 2000 database for only one table. It works fine no problem. I checked replication monitor everything works well.
My Subscription was Push Subscription on Publisher.

This morning I restored main database at publication server, I saw all my publication configuration were gone.

I then went to create a publication and push subscription again..and did it, But when I went to replication monitor.
I checked that Snapshot are being created, but from distributor to Subscriber is saying below message?

"The concurrent snapshot for publication is not available because it has not been fully generated.....lONG CHPPPED off meassage"


Can any body tell me hwo to get over this issue?

Many Thanks

Initializing Transactional Replication Without A Snapshot In SQL 2000

Nov 10, 2006

SQL Server 2005 Books Online provides an article entitled, "Initializing a Transactional Subscription without a Snapshot". Is it possible in SQL Server 2000 to initialize transactional replication without a snapshot?

So far, I have been unable to find a similar procedure mentioned in the SQL 2000 Books Online. I was able to follow the 2005 procedure using SQL 2000 until I got to the step that says to enable the "Allow initialization from backup files" option on the "Subscription Options" tab of the "Publication Properties" dialog. But that option does not appear in the SQL 2000 version of the specified dialog box.

Any ideas?

Transactional Replication : SQL 2000 To 2005. Add New Table

Mar 2, 2007

I have a publication on 2000 machine, replicating by pull subscription to a 2005 machine. I added a table to the Articles in the publication. Reinitialized the subscription, and also restarted both the snapshot and log reader agent. I was kind of assuming the publication would automatically create the table on the subscriber, but after a very long wait it is still not there. Am I missing anything?

PS. Distination Object setting : "Action if name is in use" is set to drop and create new, not that that should make any difference since name is not in use anyway.

Thanks

Excessive Network Usage With SQL 2000 To SQL 2005 Transactional Replication

Aug 3, 2007

We have a SQL2000 database (Publisher) replicating inserts and updates across a 10Mb link to a SQL 2005 database (Subscriber). The Publisher has two tables we are interested in, 1 with 50 columns and 1 with 15. Both tables have 6 insert/update triggers that fire when a change is made to update columns on the publisher database.
We have set up a pull transactional replication from the Subscriber to occur against the Publisher every minute. We have limited the subscription/replication configuration to Publsih 6 columns from table 1 and 4 from table 2. Any change occuring on any other columns in the Publisher are of no interest. The SQL 2005 database has a trigger on table 1 and table 2 to insert values into a third table. There are around 7,000 insert/updates on table 1 and 28,000 on table 2 per day. All fields in the tables are text.
We are seeing "excessive" network traffic occuring of approximately 1MB per minute (approx 2GB per 24 hrs). We also see that the Distributor databases are getting very large -- upto around 30GB and growing until they get culled. We have reduced the culling intrval from 72 hrs to 24 hours to reduce the size.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this "excessive" network traffic can be minimised and how the distributor database size can be minimised. I think that maybe they are both related?

Thanks,
Geoff

Transactional Replication From SQL 2000 Sp4 Publisher/distributor To SQL 2005 Sp2 Subscriber

Jun 26, 2007

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,

SQL 2000 Transactional Replication-skiperrors Parameter With Error Logging

Mar 15, 2007

I have used skiperrors parameter for 2601,2627 and 20598 errors in my Transaction replication setup. When transactions with above error are encountered, its skipped but I€™m not getting sql command that is skipped in MSrepl_errors table. Since SQL server 2000 is not saving transaction sequence number in the MSrepl_errors we are not getting the command, which have the errors.


Is there any way to track the commands those are skipped in transactional replication.

Transactional Replication From SQL 2005 To SQL 2000 Affects Performance Of Database.

Sep 21, 2007



Hello,

We previously having two servers A and B. Server A is used for updation of data and the data then replicated to server B. Server B is used for

Server A :
purpose : used for database updation/ modification
SQL Server version : SQL Server 2000 SP 2

Server Z :
purpose : used for Reporting
SQL Server version : SQL Server 2000 SP 2


We were doing Transactional replication from Server A to Server B.

Last month we have broght another server (Server B) with same hardware configuration but having SQL SERVER 2005 installed. This is to speed up our database update process. We have moved some of the database on this new server so that we can achieve our deadlines.

Server B :
purpose : used for database updation/ modification
SQL Server version : SQL Server 2005

I have set up the transactional replication from Server B to Server Z and replication works fine.
However, the issue is after it is started replicating from this new server (Server B) performance of all the queries reduced a lot.(making my life harder)

I didnt expected this as our reporting server is still SQL server 2000.
I have restored the backup of database which was replicated from server A (sql server 2000) and compared execution plan for one of our common query (which is used in most of the reports and which is now taking longer time to provide results)

I found that database which is replicated from Server B (Sql server 2005) is having primary keys. which was not present in the database which replicated from server A(Sql server 2000).

I have then removed the primary key and make the indexes same as previous copy of database(which was replicated from server A) But still the query takes long time.

Execution plan now shows "Table Spool" which was not present in previous copy of database.

Almost every query for this database is taking longer time now.

Can someone suggest me what is wrong and what should I need to fix.

Am I going on the right direction?

Transactional Replication - Updatable Subscribers - Image Data Type- Sql Server 2000

Aug 21, 2007

Sql Server 2000


I am looking for bidirectional transactional replication using updatable subscribers (queued or immediate) . Is it possible to replicate the image data from the updatable subscribers to the publisher. I understood that the Image data can't be replicated to the publisher from the updatable subscriber. I am not using the WRITETEXT or UPDATETEXT. I am using just INSERT and UPDATE for image data type transactions.

Any thoughts on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Combining Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication With Standard Transactional Replication

Dec 1, 2006

Hello,

I'm interested in combining the Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication and Standard Transactional Replication to provide a scale out solution of SQL Server 2005. The condition is as follows:

We may have 10 SQL Server 2005 (1 Publisher + 9 Subscriber) running transactional replication in the production environment and allow updates in subscribers. To offload the loading of the publisher, we plan to have 2 Publisher (PubNode1 and PubNode2) using Peer-to-Peer Transaction Replication and the rest 8 subscribers will be divided into 2 groups. The subscribers 1-4 (SubNode1, SubNode2, SubNode3, and SubNode4) will be set to be standard transactional replication subscribers of PubNode1, and the rest 4 subscribers (SubNode5, ..., SubNode8) will be set to be standard transactional replication subscribers of PubNode2.

Is it possible to setup above 2 Publisher + 8 Subscriber topology?
Also, could we set the 8 subscribers with updatable subscriptions to achieve each node is updatable?

We do not plan to set all the 10 nodes using Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication as it is necessary to make sure n*(n-1)/2 (i.e. 45) peer-to-peer connections is reliable. It seems that the maintenance cost is high if the servers are not in a LAN and the topology is very high coupling. So we prefer to divide the 10 nodes into 2 groups and reduce the cost of each node to maintain the connections to all other sites.

That's the scenario.

Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Thanks,
Terence

Transactional Replication From SQL Server 2005 To SQL Server 2000

Nov 8, 2006

I am trying to test simple replication (only tables) of a database that resides on a SQL Server 2005 instance to a SQL Server 2000 instance. The Publisher and Distributer are set up on the SQL Server 2005 instance for Transactional replication. The subscriber is set up on in the 2000 instance. Replication Monitor shows the following error after applying a few scripts:
"Category: SQLSERVER Source SQLSERVER2000 Number: 170 Message: Line 6: Incorrect syntax near
'max'."


Here SQLSERVER2000 is the name of my 2000 instance, as should be obvious.

Beyond this point, replication fails. Any pointers as to where the problem could lie? Is this a known backward compatibility issue? I've checked all tables in the database and none contain any datatype that is new to 2005 (the database was actually created in and for SQL Server 2000.

Replication from 2000 to 2005 works fine, but the other way round is failing as described above. Any clues?

Replication Issues After A Database Restore - Unable To Drop Or Create Transactional Replication

Sep 13, 2007

Hi,I have transactional replication set up on on of our MS SQL 2000 (SP4)Std Edition database serverBecause of an unfortunate scenario, I had to restore one of thepublication databases. I scripted the replication module and droppedthe publication first. Then did a full restore.When I try to set up the replication thru the script, it created thepublication with the following error messageServer: Msg 2714, Level 16, State 5, Procedure SYNC_FCR ToGPRPTS_GL00100, Line 1There is already an object named 'SYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100' in thedatabase.It seems the previous replication has set up these system viewsSYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100. And I have tried dropping the replicationmodule again to see if it drops the views but it didn't.The replication fails with some wired error & complains about thisviews when I try to run the synch..I even tried running the sp_removedbreplication to drop thereplication module, but the views do not seem to disappear.My question is how do I remove these system views or how do I make thereplication work without using these views or create new views.. Whyis this creating those system views in the first place?I would appreciate if anyone can help me fix this issue. Please feelfree to let me know if any additional information or scripts needed.Thanks in advance..Regards,Aravin Rajendra.

Replication :: Transactional Replication Removal Sequence

Sep 2, 2015

I have been researching on the proper steps or sequence to follow to completely remove SQL Server 2012 Transactional Replication.  I have read articles about using SSMS as well as using replication stored procedures and some procedures use SQLCMD or just regular TSQL executed in SSMS.  I have also read articles where people said all you really need is connect to the Publisher instance, find the publication you want to remove and choose "Delete" and everything will be taken care of behind the scene. I have three SQL servers that participate in transactional replication.  SQL-P (publisher), 

SQL-D (distributor) and SQL-S (subscriber).  Do I need to connect to the distributor instance and the subscriber instance when removing transactional replication or is it just really connecting to the publisher and click delete on the publication? I want everything gone including any metadata, systems tables, distributions db and any other replication objects created during the initial configuration.

Merge Replication Set Off Transactional Replication

Oct 9, 2007

I am working on bringing our disaster recovery site to be a live site. Currently we replicate to one of out servers (server B) with merge replication (from server A). Server A also does one way transactional replication form some table to several other servers including servers at the DR site.

This setup is not going to be fast enough for what we need so I am wondering if a table is receiving merge replication will the merge updates also replicate down the transaction path??

Example...
Server B update a row and merges to Server A. With this update them replicate (via transactional) to Server C??

thanks...

Transactional Replication

Jul 30, 2001

On my distribution server there is a directory called mssql7
epldataunc that houses the bcp, sch and idx files for replications. A directory is created for each publication. Most directories are empty but some contain all the table idx, sch and bcp files for the publication. Some of these files are over 6 month. Does anyone know if these files are neccessary to keep and why do only some publications have these files. I am wondering if they are kept when you push the publicaiton and it errors out originally and you have to restart it? If any one can shed some like on this I would appreciate it.

Transactional Replication

Feb 13, 2001

I have a problem with transactional replication in SQL Server 7. I have two databases (a publisher-distributor server and a suscriber server) and when I do an UPDATE in the publisher database the Log Agent Reader reads the UPDATE as an DELETE-INSERT and when the suscriber pull the suscription and try to do first the DELETE the transactional replication stops because of the Foreign Keys in the suscriptor database (that are the same as the publisher).
If anybody knows how to solve it, please tell me

Thanks

Replication - Transactional - 7.0

Nov 1, 1999

I have two servers networked via workgroups (no domain) and am trying to install Transactional Replication. Everything appears to install correctly, but when I run the initial Snapshot Agent I get the following error -

The process could not create file 'CONCEPCIONC$MSSQL7ReplDatauncCONCEPCION_Erik_Rep lication_Erik_Replication19991029153207Employer.sc h'.
Access is denied.

The SQLAgent is starting with same user account on both machines - admin rights and the same password. I have added this user to the (
epldata) folder permissions as well. I even see a "Employer.sch" file in the directory.

What am I missing?

Transactional Replication

Oct 25, 1999

Hello,

I am planning to implement replication between two servers (either snapshot/transactional). Those two servers are physically connected but we don't have domain concept i.e we connected both servers physically and it can be pinked from each other, but not under any domain (not also under different domain). How should I register SQL server& agent services to start with 'Service startup Account'. In this case I cannot start both servers using same domain Account, they how can I relate...

Thanks

Help... Transactional Replication

May 22, 2003

Hi guys can anyone help me with this issue. if so thankyou kindly.

1. created transactional publication (for tables, stored procs & views )
2. created empty database at subscriber
3. set up pull subscription at subscriber
4. ran the initial snapshot agent at the publisher
5. checked the schema files & found out it hadn't scripted the primary keys on the tables.

Problem: PRIMARY KEY AINT GOIN ACROSS, COULD ANYONE TELL ME IF IVE MISSED SOMETHING? THANK YOU MUCH APPRECIATED GUYS.

? Could it be that it is not picking up the primary keys on the tables because I am replicating stored procs and views with that publication?

? Should I break my publications into 3; say 1 for each object?

Thank you guys for taking the time to read this.

Transactional Replication

May 1, 2002

Hello all! I am setting up my first Replicated database, and want to get this right.

We are a Newspaper, and I will be Publishing the database that is the back end of the web server. The goal is to load balance the web site as well as to have a second identical server in case something goes wrong. Both the Subscriber and the Publisher need to be kept in sync as new articles are posted, so my client will just be updating the Publisher. But I'd like to keep a single set of usage statistics, so I was thinking of using Immediate Updating so the Subscriber can update the Publisher using two-phase commit.

What will happen if the Publisher shuts down and an update is attempted on the Subscriber? Will it just hang? Let's assume the worst - what if my Publisher is kaput? How do I determine that my other database is a Subscriber; and how do I stop it from being a Subscriber?

Thanks in Advance,

SQL Transactional Replication

Jun 28, 2002

Hi

I have a requirement for pushing transactional publication to various subscribers. Each subscriber will need to receive a different subset of rows from a table. So I need all rows published, but with horizontal filtering at subscriber level. Is there a way of applying filtering at the subscription level.

Transactional Replication

Sep 11, 2007

I am using transactional replication between two SQL 2005 databases. On Sunday evenings, we run a maintenance plan that rebuilds the indexes on the publisher DB. When the plan runs, the replication receives errors and cannot continue. The error appears to be at the publisher level. The publisher runs continually and the subcriber runs every 10 minutes. The error states "cannot run sp_replcmds" Other than Sunday, everything runs fine.

Thank you

Re Transactional Replication

Jan 11, 2006

Hi All!

Need help guys... I'm new to SQL Replication, though I successfully created a transactional replication testing on my machine using PUBS DB and a separate DB.

I'm planning to establish/setup a Transactional Replication. There are two SQL Servers, one is being used by WebApp_1 and the other is being used by WebApp_2.  Both servers are maintain by different administrators and situated on different domain/location (both used Win2003 Server).  We will transfer some data from Server_1 to Server_2. Server_1 will be setup as Publisher and the other is the Subscriber, then additonalServer_3 will be added and will serve as the Distibutor.

My questions are:

1. Do I need to request separate domain account from the two different servers to establish connection to the Distributor?

2. Will the User databases from Publisher in compromise/affected as far as database settings and data are concerned?

3. Any useful links?

Any help provided will be greatly appreciated...

Thanks!

Merge Vs. Transactional Replication

Jul 13, 2001

Hi everybody,

I'm still pretty new when it comes to SQL server and I'd like to get some opinions about replication. I need to set up replication between 10 sites. The database is about 2 GB and at each size about 10 users are entering data. The databases need to be synchronized at least 3 times a day. Now our application developer told us to use transactional replication while I'm thinking of using merge replication.

Can anyone give me some more advice about the pro and cons of either replication type.
TIA

Transactional Replication - Error 207

Jan 19, 2003

Hi Guys,

I have a small problem with the transactional replication when I run the initial snapshot and distributing some of the stored procedures. For eg., Say if the stored procedure has the following statements:

---------------------------------------
create procedure abc
as
declare @paytype varchar(50)
set @paytype='check'

insert into acct select cusname,cusacctno,@paytype from cuspay
---------------------------------------

I get the following error:
for statement:

set @paytype='check'
--------------------
Invalid column name 'check'.
(Source: ServerSQL1 (Data source); Error number: 207)

I tried changing to double quotes. even tried adding article using query analyzer without using EM

exec sp_addarticle @publication = N'ReplicationSrc', @article = N'abc', @source_owner = N'dbo', @source_object = N'abc', @destination_table = N'abc', @type = N'proc schema only', @creation_script = null, @description = null, @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop', @schema_option = 0x0000000000000001, @status = 16
GO

Still I get the same error. The server has SQL server 2000 SP2 running with remote distributor and pull subscription.

Am I missing anything.


Please help.

Thanks,
Anu
