I wanted to schedule the transaction replication. How do I do it? Currently I have set up a transaction replication which runs continuously and synchronizes the changes with immediate effect.
I need to configure a replication which will gather logs from the publication once in a day.
Is there any possibility?
We are planning to setup HA using either AAG or FC. ON my production environment (P), I have transnational replication configured for 2 of databases out of three. These data get replicated to another server( C1) hosted on cloud, with local distributor at P.
If I configure AAG/ FCI , how do I handle failover?I wanted to setup P as primary AAG with two replicas as S1 and S2. P->S1 will be synchronous while P->S2 will be asynchronous.Incase my P goes down how the replication will failover S1? Incase P and S1 goes down how do I failover to S2 with the replication.
I have an existing publication in sql 2012 with 2 articles, and then I add 2 more articles. After that when I generate a snapshot, will the snapshot be generated for 2 new articles only or for all 4 articles?
I remember adding 1 new articles to one existing publication with 150 articles and when I generated snapshot, it was generated only for 1 article. But I don't remember clearly.
Does it behave differently for small and large number of articles?

Hi Mate !
I was searching to enable replication publication on my SQL 2005 Express, but as far as I look, this feature don't seem to be included.
Am I, correct?
Is there a way to enable this fearture?
Thanks

I have one Publisher! (SQL 2005)
Two Subscribers. (SQL 2005)
Each subscriber requires different row filter from the published tables.
So, i need to create Two publications for each subscriber for the same db.
When i setup first publication, and apply filters to published tables.
All goes fine.
As soon i create an other publication with same published tables but DIFFERENT row filter; the log reader agent fails!
The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on 'DB1'. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL20011)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL20011
Execution of filter stored procedure 2076702271 failed. See the SQL Server errorlog for more information. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 18764)
Get help: http://help/18764
The Log Reader Agent failed to construct a replicated command from log sequence number (LSN) {0008443a:000003b5:003e}. Back up the publication database and contact Customer Support Services. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 18805)
:confused:
I have tried to re-initialze the subscriptions and re-run snapshots but no luck.
As i remove the row filter from the second publication; log reader starts working fine.
Previously i was using Merge replication and all was going BUT, on very large DML on publisher, we use to receive deadlock errors on application.
I decided to use Tran repl instead because log reader reads the changes from tran-log instead of locking the published tables; NOW I AM STUCK!
Ideas please!!!!
I tried to drop a merge replication publication and it is giving me an invalid object name dbo.ms_mergeagents message. I tried to drop using:
SSMS
sp_dropmergepublication
sp_replicationdboption
I got the last two from Microsoft KB article 324401. The subscription was never created because it gave another error invalid object_name msmerge_subscriptions. I can create new publications but not drop the existing ones.
Please assist...

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there an easy way to copy a replication publication definition from one server to another? In our environment we have a development environment, testing environment and soon a production environment. Right now keeping the replication definition between the development and testing environments is a manual process, are there tools that can do a diff on this or a way to keep this in sync?
For example when we change what information gets replicated in the development environment I need a way to propogate that change to the testing environment.
I know I can generate scripts from within SQL Server Management Studio, but it creates scripts very machine specific. So short of going through that and modifying the server names to match the different environments, is there a better way?
What's the relationship among replication, publication and subscription?
I want to create replication database, what things should I know first?
I am at my wits end here. For Replication the Books Online clearly state:
"The option to allow transformations is set at the time you create a publication"
However, I cannot find any options that allow me to do this in the Create Publication Wizard.
Once the Publication has been created I see in the Properties in the Subscription Options tab that "Use DTS to transform data before distributing it to a Subscriber" is set to No and there is no way to change it.
Where am I going wrong?
I am having a problem with merge replication after recreating a publication. It is a simple two-way replication between two servers allowing applications to update data at both ends, i.e. 1 publisher, 1 subscriber for all tables except some junk ones. The problem started after I did the following:
1) I dropped and recreated the publication to allow for some changes to the database schema. These caused problems so I dropped the subscription and publication and restored the databases at each end from backups taken before we started.
2) When I created the publication again, it wouldn't let me use the same name as it thought the publication already existed. It let me use a different name instead.
3) Most things work OK but one of the tables is not replicating inserts from the subscriber to the publisher. There are no errors and no conflicts, other similar tables replicate OK. Inserts go across the other way OK.
4) I am getting replication conflicts on another table that says 'Unable to synchronize the row because the row was updated by a different process outside of replication'
I believe the problem is to do with the original publication details still being in the restored databases, so am looking to drop the publication & subscription, remove the remnants of the old publication, fix the data and recreate pub & sub. What do I need to do to get rid of the old replication data in the database?
Any help much appreciated.
Hi,
I am stuck when trying to create a new publication. I fill all the wizard tabs but when finishing I get that message (6 times, one for every table):
Code Block
SQL Server Management Studio could not create article 'applicationModules'. (New Publication Wizard)
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

This article cannot use the 'subscriber_upload_options' feature because the publication compatibility level is less than 90. Use sp_changemergepublication to set the publication_compatibility_level of publication 'testMR' to '90RTM'.
Changed database context to 'test'.
Publication 'testMR' has the following property: 'compensate_for_errors'. SQL Server subscribers below version '8.00.0858' will ignore this setting. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 21522)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=09.00.1399&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=21522&LinkId=20476
The error seemed pretty clear, so I end up doing:
EXEC sp_changemergepublication
@publication = N'testMR',
@property = N'publication_compatibility_level',
@value = N'90RTM'
and running the wizard again.
But I got the same error.
The link on the message take me nowhere.
and by googling for error 21522 I couldn't find any help at all.
Please, could anyone help?
Cheers
Hello.I am trying to use Transact SQL to prepare publication for replication (SQL Server 2000 SP4 and SQL Mobile). I can easily create publication, add filters etc. but there is one thing which I can't find : parameter which tells me subscriber type and allow me to change subscriber type for publication. I don't know where I can change (or even if I can change) this property.
If someone made publication for mobile devices and replication with filters,resolvers etc. will it be a problem to share experiences here? Maybe some sample code with script or something what will guide me. Thanks in advance. Maciej Wysocki
I'm trying to setup merge replication and get the following error from the snapshot agent after I've finished the 'New Publication Wizard'. This doesn't make sense to me as it is an automatic process. Also, it looks like it is complaining about a 'dbo.MSmerge_cont...' view which is a view created automatically for the merge publication.

I have transactional replication configured where the publisher and subscriber are on two different servers. Yesterday a database upgrade was carried out, and the DBA dropped replication by issuing sp_removedbreplication on the published database. The subscription is still set up.
I have two questions:
1 - What is the safest way to temporarily switch off replication without losing the publication or subscription? As far as I was aware (my replication knowledge isn't great), simply disabling the relevant agents would do the job.
2 - I now have the task of creating the publication again (fortunately we have a saved script). If I recreate this publication, will I be able to point the existing subscription at it?
I'm in a middle of a project where replication established between Oracle 8i and SQL server 2005. Now we need to drop one column from on of the tables replicated from Oracle side. My question : Is there anyway I can do this in Oracle and automatically reflected on SQL server? If not what is the proper steps to do it. Realy appreciate your fast response.
Regards
I have a software that is running with SQL Server 2005. The software has an utility to configure replication between 2 databases. When I was trying to configure it, for some reason the tool convert my main user database under system databases.
I need to put it back again under user databases.
Im thinking to backup my database first and put it offline and the restore the database again. But Im not to expert in SQL and also I am not sure if this will work putting back the database as a user database.
Hopefully simple question:
How to configure replication so that replication triggers issue a SET NOCOUNT ON?
Also: are there any negative consequences of adding a SET NOCOUNT ON to replication triggers?
I'm not a DBA so my experience with replication is pretty much non-existent. Hopefully, there's a simple configuration option that I can apply when setting up replication for a database. If not, is it going to be feasible for me to write a script that runs over the replication triggers/procs to add this SET statement (any pointers on inbuilt procs that would help here would be real useful)?
Thanks in advance

I do not understand why I have this issue.
SQL 2012 SP2, Transactional Replication.
I have added a new table to a database (existing publication) using T-SQL, I then opened up publisher properties, and ticked the new table/article so that it would be added to the subscriber. It did not show up.
I did not use a snapshot to initialize the subscription.
Immediate Synch is 0.
allow_anonymous is 0.
I mark the subscription to be reinitialized. When I start the snapshot agent I get '0% A snapshot was not generated because no subscriptions needed initialization'.
What could I be doing wrong, or missed out? Do I need to drop and recreate the subscription to get the article to show up?
I am trying to configure replication using a script. I created the distribution database as well as the publisher. Now, I am running the stored procedure in one of the subscribers to create subscription. However, I keep getting the same error over and over again. The error reads:
msg 50000, Level 16, State 1, Procedure usp_create_AccountSubscriber, Line 43
Failed to execute SP usp_Create_AccountSubscriber: This database is not enabled for publication
what does it mean? how can i solve it?
Hello! I am writing an app with C# that is using SQL Server 2005's RMO objects. I want to display a tree control with say a log history (last successful sync, dates, etc...). I know that the server stores this kind of info somewhere but I'm not sure how to access this via RMO.
Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Hi,
We have an issue with our replication configuration when viewed through replication monitor. Parameterised Filters and joined filters don't appear in the gui. However, when we script the publication all the filters are present.
This issue only seems to occur when we have a remote distributor.
I should also point out that we have a merge push topology that uses a custom RMO synchronisation component on a separate server to either the publisher or the distributor. Also all the databases in the topology are called the same name. This has caused us other issues relating to this topology in particular so I raise it here as well although I don't expect it to be the case in this instance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated in clarifying this matter.
I am trying to configure database mirroring with sql server 2012.
My principal instance and my mirror instance are on different server.
Both SQL Server service run with NT SERVICEMSSQLSERVER.
Now when I am configuring database mirroring, which service account should I use ? database account or server account ?
Instead of using domain account, can I :
1- create local account on my two server
2- Add these 2 logins in my 2 instances.
3- use these local account for configuring database mirroring.

We have many customers with a large database, many workers and many database transactions. Every night the databases are "full backupped". Regularly the logfiles (dbname_log.ldf) grow very large, for example a database (dbname.mdf) of 60GB and a logfile equal in size. When the drive becomes too full, I truncate these logfiles to free diskspace.
Question: is it a good decision to run a script that, after the daily full backup, truncates the logfile if it is larger than for example 10GB?
I am doing some general housekeeping for a couple of our SQL boxes in the Development environment. All the databases are set to Simple recovery mode. No need in anything else for these boxes. I have a database on all the boxes named "DatabaseMaintenance" Keeps things like all the sprocs for any type of database maintenance, etc....
I would like to schedule a single sproc that is located in the DatabaseMaintenance database to shrink the Transaction logs on a set schedule. They sometimes grow quite large while testing and developing. The thing that I cannot seem to get around, is when using the ShrinkFile command, one must use the Log Name. If this code is in a sproc that is located in the DatabaseMaintenance database, it will fail when attempting to call out to a different database. Because the Log does not exist on the database that the sproc is located.
How can I get around this small dilemma? There are only about 10 databases per box. To a point we really do not care what happens to them. They are on a Full backup schedule daily, just to keep the objects. As I stated previously, the logs will still grow huge at times while pumping data.
Is there a way to create a piece of code that will run against each database on the server, and be stored in a single database? Other than the system databases of course.
Hi,
I have multiple questions and would appreciate any suggestions in resolving them. I'm a novice to these issues.
1) First of all, what is the exact command to setup the trunc. log on chkpt. option on for a transactional log of a SQL Server 2000 database? Is this option on by default? I have noticed for one of the databases I'm managing that the transaction log was over 12 GB, while the db was only 425 MB.
2) How's it possible to run a DBCC TRACEON to see the content of the transaction log to see if we are having any issues with any uncommitted transactions, i.e. updates, inserts, and/or deletes.
3) What are the commands to truncate inactive transactions and increasing the readbatchsize?
4) lastly, how do I validate transactional replication via checksum and find valid latency between a small number of changes that need to be committed between publisher and subscriber.
Thank you so much in advance!
Sincerely,
Alla
We have 15-20 report server environments including Dev/SIT/UAT/PROD/DR etc. so instead of configuring it on each servers, we would like a script to use with parameters.
After installing the SSRS 2012 package on each server with given instance and service account, I would like to configure the SSRS through script instead on running the Configuration manager RSConfigTool.exe manually.
we already have created the database beforehand using the scripts provided by WMI. do we need db_owner permission on msdb and master database to configure SSRS?
We use AlwaysOn availability groups, which has 2 SQL nodes configured (version: 11.0.3373.0), my full and differential backups are working for all my databases, however I am unable to perform any LOG backups.
I have double checked my Availability Group settings, and the backup preferences is set to: 'Prefer Secondary'
I've tried creating a maintenance job as well as using Ola Hallengren's maintenancescript job to back them up, but nothing is written to the drive. All jobs return successful every time, and take less then 3 seconds to run. There are no events being written in the SQL error log or event log.
