SQL 2012 :: Alert When Replication Has Failed
Oct 2, 2015
What are the different options for setting up Alerts when Replication stops or errors out?
I ran this code on the publisher:
USE [msdb]
GO
/****** Object: Alert [Replication: agent failure] Script Date: 10/2/2015 11:42:46 AM ******/
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name=N'Replication: agent failure',
@message_id=14151,
@severity=0,
@enabled=0,
[Code] ....
It already existed.
So I ran it on the Subscriber and it executed.
Are there any third party tools to do this?

I'm trying to set up a SQL Alert to run when a Failed login error is generated. For whatever reason, I can't seem to get this working. I have it set up to run on error 18456 (Failed login), I have the server set to log failed login attempts and I can see the entry in the log file, but the alert never occurs. Basically, I want a way to detect when someone is trying to hack into my database using a brute force approach.

I have a publication on Sql Server 2012 that uses transactional replication to 7 subscribers (these are a mix of Sql Server 2008R2 and Sql Server 2012). Last night I scheduled the Snapshot job to run to "re-publish" the database to the subscribers. I had a few new table to push down. Unfortunately the snapshot job became the deadlock victim. Now updates to the publisher are not being sent to the subscribers.
Short of rerunning the snapshot job, is there a way to repair the replication so the updates to the publisher are pushed to the subscribers? The "re-publish" can only be run overnight when there is very little impact to users.

Does Anyone of the SQLServer Guru has a smart script to alert DBA by email for failed jobs or jobs running more then their normal time(long running jobs), so that I dont have to go and look at the jobs everyday manually...on different servers...
Help is greatly appericated...
Thanks

Hi, I need to set an alert when a replication-conflict occurs rather that to check for conflicts manually. How can i accomplish this? I couldn't find the particular error-message to trap in an alert.
Regards!!

Hi There
I have a publisher, remote distributor and subscriber all running SS2000.
Under replication monitor on the distributor, under replication alerts i have enabled the "replication agent failure" alert.
All i need to know is should this alert trigger if the distribution agent that runs on the subscriber not the distributor fails?
I have add occurences of the distribution agent failing and the alert is not triggerred, is this because it only triggers for the agents that run on the distributor, ie: snapshot and log reader agents?
Thanx

I've noticed that the 14150 event is no longer showing up in the Application Log. The 14151 event does. We tried modifying the alert:
sp_altermessage 14150, 'WITH_LOG', 'true';
But this of course doesn't work on messages under 50000. We utilized this alert in SQL 2000 to send emails upon the success of a merge replication. Any idea how to get this to work? Is there a workaround or did MS drop the ball on this event? If they dropped it - sure wish they would let us know and also remove the ability to setup the alert for it...
Thanks in advance!

configuring sql alert for low sql memory.
I have configured the memory for sql server as below
min : 512 MB
Max :13500 MB
Total RAM on the server is 16GB
I want to receive email from sql server informing that sql server is running on low memory ( less than 200 MB free) so that I do not get out of memory issues and the sql server continues to run without fail.

I've built 4 new SQL2012 Ent SP2 instances using our standard build docsscripts all of which include an alert to pick up Sev 14 bad login messages.
However when I force a bad login to test these, they work on 2 servers but not the other 2.
The ones that fail write the Sev 14 msg to the SQL Error log and Windows Eventvwr fine, but there is no entry in the sysalerts table!?.
The alert is enabled and the windows event log service is running. I've noticed that none of the other alerts I've set up write to the sysalerts table though?
i'm not concerned about that yet, just the fact its not writing to the sysalerts table in the first place.

which have a lot of impact to database performace since it do not fit onto memory and spill over to disks.
The question is when i ran a profiler and tried to catch a sort warning i cannot find the query which cause the alert.

I'm getting this, after upgrading from 2000 to 2005.Replication-Replication Distribution Subsystem: agent (null) failed.The subscription to publication '(null)' has expired or does notexist.The only suggestions I've seen are to dump all subscriptions. Sincewe have several dozen publications to several servers, is there adecent way to script it all out, if that's the only suggestion?Thanks in advance.

Can you use the below query to get CPU high utilisation alert purposes for both named and default instance? or, do I need to make any changes here (@wmi_namespace=N'.ROOTCIMV2' ) ?
USE [msdb]
GO
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name=N'CPU_WM_Utilization_Check',
@message_id=0,
@severity=0,

Now, I am getting closer and receiving the following message in the Distribution Task (repl_subcriber is the owner, AutoStart is the Frequency):
"37000[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed - User: Reason: Not Associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
I have 'sqlexecutivent' and 'pswd' defined on the CA (Publisher) and VA (Subscriber) Servers. I have 'sqlexecutivent' defined in the NT Administrator group on both machines. I have trusted the NT Administrator group to SQL Server on both machines (xp_grantlogin 'administrator', 'admin'). I have trusted the NT 'sqlexecutivent' login to SQL Server on both machines (xp_grantlogin 'sqlexecutivent', 'admin'). I have logged-in to both NT machines using the 'sqlexecutivent' login and 'pswd'. I have started the MSSQLServer Service and SQLExecutive Service using 'sqlexecutivent' and 'pswd'. When I set up the Topology, Publication, and Subscription I was registerred in SEM as 'sa'. I do not know if this is needed, but in SQL Server I also created 'sqlexecutive' logins and 'sqlexecutive' database users on both machines.
Please tell me what I am missing. Do I need to do anything with the repl_subscriber and repl_publisher login ids? Do I need to configure a DSN? Do I need to check anything in the registry? Maybe I need to just start over again with a fresh start by uninstalling the Replication Topology, Publishing, etc. Maybe I should try Multi-Protocol.
Again, these are two NT 4.0, SP3 machines running SQL Server 6.5 SP5a. They are set up in the same Workgroup. I can connect to both machines in SEM and by Mapping a Network Drive. The default netlibrary is set to named pipes.
As part of my appreciation for your efforts, I will document this process and mail it to you once it is working.
Thanks, Kevin

I have been attempting to set up replication between two 6.5 servers in the same domain, and all I get is a login failed error on my replication task. Both servers use standard security and an admin login for the server and exec service, and I am using the default remote server setup as installed with replication. I'm sure it will be something simple, but I can't see it.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi All,
We have a SQL server 2000 merge replication and it has been running for couple of years. We were even fine too at the beginning after upgraded our publisher SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. Now we are starting have problems. I just found there were two files seem to be too big, MSmerge_genhistory.bcp (1,830,287K) and MSmerge_genhistory90.bcp (1,977,746K). I have no idea why these two files are so big.
My questions are:
1. Why these two files? (we do have a mix of SQL Server 2000 MSDE and SQL Server 2005 Express as the subscribers)
2. Can (Should) I clean the MSmerge_genhistory table? How?(sp_mergemetadataretentioncleanup)
3. What could be the impact to all the existing subscribers if I clean this table?
Thank you for your help.

Hi all,
I hope someone who knows how to fix the following problem could shed some light:
I have set up a two-way transactional replication between two SQL 7.0 servers. The updates and inserts on server A is successfully replicated to server B. But when I tried to test if changes on server B is replicated onto server A, I got a 'login failed for user 'sa'' when I modified a user table. It sounds strange because I already logged in using 'sa' and all SQL servers use the same 'sa' login. I wonder if it is a Microsoft bug. The same problem happened on a pair of SQL 2000 Enterprise servers.
Thanks for any input.

Transactional replication running via a pull subscription between a single subscriber and single publisher on Windows 2000 servers (all current service packs and patches) with SQL Server 2000.
Early on Sunday morning, the server hosting the publisher was rebooted...but SQL Server Agent failed to start fully, causing the log reader agent to not start and no alerts to trigger. Still trying to isolate the cause of the problem with SQL Server Agent, as it's been problematic to keep it up and running. For the most part, though, it's coming up properly after restarts of the service or reboots, and starting all agents/functions.
However, the snapshot agent ran a number of times pulling schema and batch copies for the articles in the replicated dataset, and the distribution agent now fails each time it runs with a reference to "not having the initial snapshot for the publication available". SQL Server Agent went down before this could complete, and I left it down until I could ascertain the best route to take...
Any chance I can circumvent having to reapply a initial snapshot of the publication db (this is a large set of data), and just apply transactions from the log since my downtime has only been about 60 hours? Or is there an agent setting, job run to reinitialize, or an inherent quality to SQL Server Agent that will demand a complete reapplication of the snapshots due to the down time?
I'm betting that the distribution agent will start moving data as soon as the snapshot agent finishes up (as I said, it has not completed yet), but I'm praying there's a way to get around this...
Thanks!

I have two databases A & B which have a merge replication between them. Both are live data. I wanted to alter table in db A, so i deleted subscription and altered the table from db A. After that i rebuilt the replication between A & B with initialization but now my replication fails. Every time i get different error messages..recently i get message of 'Subscriber failed to initialize'. Could anyone suggest how to resolve this? Urgent please.

I just applied instcat.sql to my SQL Srvr 2k sp4. At first it broke my replication with some cursor errors. Applying the latest instcat.sql fixed the problem, however one of the distribution agents would not start (i'm not sure if instcat had anything to do with it) giving me a "Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'. The process could not connect to distributor 'DistributorName'. The step failed." error.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I am now getting the following error:

I checked under the SQL Security Manager, View, SA Privilege and my sqlexecutivent login is set up as:
CAServersqlexecutivent sa
Thanks in advance for any tips you can give me with this. Both servers are set up in a workgroup. We are not using Domains.
Also, should my table already exist on the Subscribing Server?

This is the most frustrating error I've ever encountered.
I can get no more info from sql server besides "server execution failed". It gives this error when starting the snapshot, distribution, and log reader agents.
This server has been working in this configuration for over a year. We made no changes except restarted the server. This is a windows 2003 server with sql server 2000 running all the latest patches and windows updates.

A former employee at my organization created a replication job to back up our database. The developer has since left and his windows account was deleted. I'm now receiving this error:

We have setup Transactional Replication that was originally initialized from a backup. Our subscriber recently had some hardware failures causing the publications to fail. We now have the server back up however the transactions for a few days have been missed, and data is now out of sync.
How do I go about resyncing that missing data? We have too many table to manually resync the data, and I cannot restore the database directly from a backup due to some permission issues and differences from the publisher. I've attempted to generate a new snapshot
However I get a message "[0%] A snapshot was not generated because no subscriptions need initialization." My current understanding that is that I should be able to take a snapshot from the publisher and apply it to the subscriber, thus syncing all the data.

I am running SQL 2008 Enterprize Edition with SP1 on Windows 2008. I am trying to set up replication. I have completed the following:
1. Created distribution Database
2. Created publisher
3. Granted SQL Agent access to the ...MSSQL100Com folder to execute the agent_exe files
4. Granted SQL Agent access to ...MSSQLinn where the subsystem_dll files are located
5. Granted SQL Agent write permissions to ...MSSQL
epldata in order the write the bcp files
Each time I try to initialize the snapshot, I get the following errors in the SQL Agent Log
1. Log Step.......cannot be run because the LogReader subsystem failed to load. The job has been suspended.
2. Log Step.......cannot be run because the Snapshot subsystem failed to load. The job has been suspended.
I found posts where the records in the msdb.dbo.syssubsystems pointed to different folders than where the dll and exe files are located. So, I checked that, but they are correct.
The SQL Agent has sysadmin on the SQL Server and is using a windows service account.
I believe it is a security issue because I can run the executables from the command prompt to generate the snapshot for the publication. Have I missed the forest for the trees?

Hi all,
I am setting up the replication with the scripts which used to setup in MSSQL2005 (non-cluster server). After I run the script and start the snapshot agent, log agent or distributed agent, it prompts,
Unable to start execution of step 2 (reason: Error authenticating proxy abc.comadmin9, system error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.). The step failed.
abc.comadmin9 is the administrator for all cluster, mssql service and I am sure that the username and password is correct.
Any advise? Thanks in advance.

I'm converting an existing production replication process to SQL 2005 for testing. My snapshot for a merge replication is failing.
Environment: Single XP server, no filters, @schema_option = 0x000000000C034DD1
I have several snapshot jobs in my process, 2 for transactional replication and 2 for merge replications. In both types, I'm replicating from A to B and then from B to C. In the failing job, I'm merge replicating from B to C. In this failing snapshot job, the error messages are:
