SQL 2012 :: Merge Agent Hanging After A Large Request

Aug 29, 2015

Using merge replication + web synchronization, I have a situation when there are large amount of data changes to upload to the publisher, Merge agent would create a large request and send it over. The publisher gets it and is able to work on it. After few minutes it has finished but (I assume) the connection has been dropped. At the subscriber's side, it appears that the merge agent is hung. The output would look like something like this:

Upload request size is XXX bytes.
Uploaded a total of 100 chunks.
Uploaded a total of 200 chunks.
Uploaded a total of 211 chunks.

The request message was sent to [URL] ....

Normally, when the publisher finishes working, the merge agent then continues processing. But when it takes more than few minutes (it seems to break about at 2 or 3 minutes), merge agent will hang as long as the InternetTimeout setting is (currently 20 minutes) before finally failing and retrying.

But that's not right. The publisher was done and can't communicate back to the merge agent (presumably because the connection was dropped). As a result, merge agent will try to re-enumerate changes on top of giving appearance that it's hung.

I've already fiddled with settings such as MaxUploadChanges, UploadGenerationsPerBatch, UploadReadChangesPerBatch, and UploadWriteChangesPerBatch. However, none of those setting actually ensure that the request message is too large. It has worked in breaking up the changes into separate batches (e.g. processing a single table rather than all tables) which results in more frequent updates and thus avoid the problem.

However, when a single table has several changes, it is still lumped into one large request which then takes more than 2-3 minutes to process on publisher's side and thus I still end up with the same symptom of merge agent hanging.

Is there anything else I could try to get merge agent to keep its connection alive even during processing a large request?

SQL 7 Hanging With Large In() Statement

Mar 2, 2004

For MS SQL 7, an error occurs as shown at bottom.
Basically a piece of embedded sql is being sent to the db which has a syntax like:
select distinct WC_REFERENCE_MANAGER.logicalname,
WC_REFERENCE_MANAGER.referenceid,
wc_site.doclistid,
WC_REFERENCE_MANAGER.shared,
WC_REFERENCE_MANAGER.languageid
from wc_content inner join wc_content_ref on wc_content.contentid = wc_content_ref.documentid
inner join wc_reference_manager on wc_content_ref.referenceid = wc_reference_manager.referenceid
inner join wc_site on wc_reference_manager.referenceid = wc_site.referenceid
where xmlid = @p1 and contains(xmldata, @p2)
and wc_reference_manager.languageid = @p3
and wc_site.siteid = @p4
and wc_site.sectionid IN (

Followed by over 15000 numbers

(dont ask - its a generic product with a generic db design behind it!).

Any comments apart from rewrite the query (which isnt an option).

The error is :

SQL Mail/SQL Agent Hanging

Mar 7, 2001

I have a daily task set up to email a report to me. When I go to look at the jobs it says it is still executing after a number of hours. I Can't stop the job with out stopping SQL Agent. I can't stop SQL Mail. If I stop the SQL Agent I can't start it again. I try to open Outlook (98) but it won't open either. Can't view the properties of Outlook either. Only way to cure this is to reboot the server. The account we are using to start SQL and SQL Agent is a FDomain Admins account. When I try to log off the server I get and error message saying olemainthreadwndname is not responding. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Package Hanging On OLE DB Command With Large Result Sets

Jul 13, 2007

I have an SSIS package (SQL 2005 SP2 and Visual Studio SP1) that does the following:



OLE DB Source --> Conditional Split --> OLE DB Command #1 --> OLE DB Command #2



The source reads from database A. Each row is variable-width and up to several KB wide, including two ntext columns.



Command #1 executes a stored proc in db A, using a bunch of inputs and two output parameters.



Cmd #2 executes an update in db B, using the two output params from cmd #1 as inputs.



When the rowset size is small, around 500, everything works fine.



However, when the rowset size is larger, around 5000, SSIS hangs when trying to execute cmd #2. The profiler shows that none of the cmd #2 updates are ever executed. No error messages are produced, and the connection never times out -- it just hangs forever.



If I replace the cmd #2 updates with a simple select, everything works fine. If I replace it with a stored proc that does an update, it hangs.



The work-around I came up with was to create a new table in db B, and do inserts into the table, but unless I'm missing something, this still seems like a bug...

Merge Replication Hanging

Mar 29, 2007

Hi all,
I have a replication that worked for a couple of weeks without any problem. Since yesterday it is hanging. I am not aware of any changes done to the network or dataservers.
Dataservers are on 2005 SP1.
In the Replication monitor I see that the replication agent gets a 10 Minutes no activity seen message.
Therefor I started the merge process manually with Outputverboselevel 2.
It is hanging again, the outputfile tells me that sp_MSadd_merge_history90 is executed.
How to resolve this issue?

Merge Repliction - Run Stored Procedure When Merge Agent Starts

Jul 23, 2005

I have database on SQL Server 2000 set up with a merge publication.This publication is configured with a number of dynamic filters toreduce the amount of data sent to each client. Each client has ananonymous pull subscription. The merge process can be triggered by thewindows sync manager and my application.To improve performance I have created some helper tables to hold themapping between user login and primary keys of selected entities.For the replicated data to be correct the contents of the helper tablesneeds to be up to date.I need to fire off a stored procedure on the publisher beforereplication starts to verify that this data is up to date. I can notsee any documented way of doing this however I have been experimentingwith some unorthodox systems.Firstly has anyone any ideas?I have been considering adding a trigger to some of the tables used bythe Microsoft replication code - yes I know this is very nasty.My problems arise because executing this stored procedure will causesome data to be updated. In updating data we could create a newgeneration in the database. I must therefore run my stored procedurebefore any the Microsoft code makes any generation checks / updates.Anyone done anything similar, Anyone have any better ideas?Any comments would be gratefully received.

SQL 2012 :: Native Backups Hanging Across Instances

Jan 12, 2015

Native backups to NAS do not complete.We have been experiencing an issue whereby our native backups are hanging with status': SUSPENDED/ RUNNABLE...I ran select * from sys.sysprocesses. All of the backup SPIDs processes show BACKUPTHREAD/PREEMPTIVE_OS_FILEOPS

This first occurred last Wednesday evening. When I discovered this on Thursday, I attempted to kill the backup jobs. This also hung with 0% completed/0% time remaining. Backups hung on more than one instance.That evening, I attempted to restart the instance which also failed with something along the lines of: could not start MASTER file in use.

I then restarted the server--which I really did not want to do--and this cleared it. I was also able to manually kick off maintenance plans (DBCC CHECKDB and full backup) without issue.I was off Friday and the weekend. I came in this morning and found the maintenance plans (diff/tlog backups) did not complete in some of the instances--in one case, the instance affected now was not affected before. They appeared to have hung on their next scheduled kickoff which was later that night after I went home

Remembering the "file in use" error, I have run process monitor to see if anything unusual had a lock on any files. I saw only SQL Server and Double-Take processes accessing log files.Being a relatively new DBA, I am user where to go next in trying to track down the cause of this issue. This is fairly urgent as one of the instances that has had this problem both times is our production SharePoint environment.

Cannot Set The ProfileName On A Merge Agent

Jun 28, 2006

Hi,

I am trying to create a new merge subscription using RMO on Sql 2005, but I want the new agent to use a non-default profile.

I can set the ProfileName on the agent but it seems to have no affect. I was wondering, do I have the wrong Profile name?

This is the code I'm using



subscription = new MergeSubscription();

subscription.ConnectionContext = conn;

subscription.SubscriberName = server;

subscription.SubscriberSecurity.SqlStandardLogin = sqlUserName;

subscription.SubscriberSecurity.SqlStandardPassword = sqlPassword;

subscription.SubscriberSecurity.WindowsAuthentication = useWindowsAuth;

subscription.PublicationName = publication.Name;

subscription.DatabaseName = publication.DatabaseName;

subscription.SubscriptionDBName = database;

subscription.SyncType = SubscriptionSyncType.Automatic;

subscription.SubscriberType = MergeSubscriberType.Global;

subscription.Priority = 75;

subscription.UseInteractiveResolver = false;







if(hostNameOverride != null && hostNameOverride.Length > 0)

subscription.HostName = hostNameOverride;

subscription.SynchronizationAgentProcessSecurity.Login = agentUserName;

subscription.SynchronizationAgentProcessSecurity.Password = agentPassword;

// Create the push subscription.

subscription.Create();



if (subscription.SynchronizationAgent != null)

subscription.SynchronizationAgent.ProfileName = "High Volume Server-to-Server Profile";



Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong??

Regards

Merge Agent Error

Apr 27, 2006

Hi

We are using HTTPS merge replication.

One of my subscribers is getting this error:

Error messages:

The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Publisher for changes not yet sent to the Subscriber. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload). (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199402)

 

This is a bit surprising - it has been working fine - and also there were no changes at the publisher (it only has one article in this publication - a stored proc)

Why would this have happened ? The retention period is 45 days and they synchronised successfully only a few days prior.

 

thanks

Merge Agent Login Problem

Jun 23, 2006

I have a push merge replication up and working in development SQL Server 2005 (publisher) and SQL Express (subscriber). Because the upgrade from 2000 to 2005 for our production servers has been delayed for who knows how long, I am working to set the same replication up with 2000 and MSDE.

The merge agent is failing in 2000 with the error:

Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 18452)


The 2005 merge agent runs fine. I think it is because the 2005 subscription wizard allowed me to set the 'Run as: SQL Agent Service Account' option, instead of a windows authentication uid. There is no opportunity to set this in the 2000 subscription wizard nor on the merge agen job step itself. I didn't take a screen dump, but am confident that I used the SECURITYMODE=SQL parameter on the MSDE client install.

Any help on whether I'm correct on what the problem is and what to change to get the 2000 merge to log in with the SQL agent service account would be great. Thanks.

Problem With Merge Replication--with Snap Shot Agent

Sep 20, 2004

i am having a problem with the merge replication.
has over 400 thousand records and is running on a hp server with a raid 5 configuration.
i am trying to create a merge replication on another server with the same configuration.

i am facing problems in 2 places.

firstly i created a push subscription and ran the snap shot agnt.
but the snap shot agent times out and expires .. as a result of which i am not able to create the initial snap shot on the subscribers end.

next i thought i would manualy create a snap shot
and so i backed up the dabase from the publisher and restores it on the subscription side.

now i tried to create a new subscription by chosing the option... the dabase alredy conists of the data base and schema
and i get a n error saying
"SQL Server Enterprise Manager encountered errors creating push subscriptions for the following Subscribers:

ICE: Error 20086: Publication '%s' does not support the nosync type because it contains a table that does not have a rowguidcol column

what do i do to solve this problem....
please try and give me a solution to solve either ways.

thanks,

Merge Agent Not Started - Start Synchronizing Disabled

Aug 6, 2006

i'm running a SQL Server 2000 SP42000.8.00.2039, developer.
i'm trying to setup a merge replication between the default istance and a named one of the same machine, using the same domain account for both publisher and subscriber.
when it comes to "start synchronizing" (right click on the subscriber merge agent), i found it disabled, just like it is running, but it is not (the icon shows a stop sign, even refreshing.)
The state is "disactivated". When i stop sync and start it again things don't change.
If i setup a "pull" subscription, i get a sequence of a message like "interface not supported" (a translation from italian "Interfaccia non supportata"): after 10 attempts, it stops.
i cannot find this error searching in internet, could you address me?
thanks in advance!

Merge Agent System Stored Procedures And Sp_Recompile

Hello,

We are trying to be proactive and stop a potential performance issue by reducing the number of recompiles in our SQL 2000 database application. This database is replicated. After viewing output from Profiler and PerfMon it seems that over 90% of the recompiles are due to system stored procedures generated by replication merge agents. Can anything be done about this?

Problem Downloading The Snapshot Agent In A Merge Pull Subscription.

Jun 21, 2007

Hello.

I've been having an error when downloading the snapshot agent from our Publisher.

The articles selected are all the tables and all the stored procedures.

The Subscription is created programmatically and so is the synchronization. When trying to synchronize for the first time and when the subscriber tries to download the snapshot I have the following error:




Error messages:
The schema script 'Distrito_2.sch' could not be propagated to the subscriber. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201001)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147201001

Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL20143
The system cannot find the path specified.
(Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL3)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL3



The snapshot folder is at c:GESZifSnapshotFolder and the unc is \AfroditeSnapshot.

I'm getting a little desperate with this because we really need to propagate the schema changes around the subscribers.

Thanks in advance,

Changing Merge Agent Profile For HTTPS - MergeSubscriberType = Anonymous

Aug 8, 2006

Hi


We are using HTTPS merge replication

Our setup is as follows:

subscription.CreateSyncAgentByDefault = False -- I wrote a windows service to synchronise
subscription.UseWebSynchronization = True
subscription.InternetSecurityMode = AuthenticationMethod.BasicAuthentication
subscription.SubscriberType = MergeSubscriberType.Anonymous

Some of our subscribers have low-quality internet connections - how do I get the agent at the publisher/distributer use a slower profile - I've read How to: Work with Replication Agent Profiles (Replication Transact-SQL Programming)
but can't see where you specifiy an alternate agent profile

On the distributer / publisher (same machine) I go to replication monitor -> Warnings and Agents - I can only set the profile for the snapshot agent....

thanks

SQL 2012 :: System Cannot Contact A Domain Controller To Service Authentication Request

Dec 16, 2013

I am attempting to set up an always on cluster on VMware for testing. setting up everything through the Failover cluster is fine, the trouble comes when I try to set up the AlwaysOn availability group. Whenever I attempt to specify a network location I receive the following error: Operating System Error 1265(The system cannot contact a domain controller to service the authentication request..).

I looked up this error and most sites point towards a Windows 8 homegroup issue. Since this is a on a domain, I don't think it is relevant. I also added the service accounts from server A to Server B and visa versa. I even added the computer objects to its opposite partner..I have attempted to use "Join Only" and do a manual copy.

SQL 2012 :: Connections Not Getting Closed By Client Application And Impact Feedback Request

Mar 31, 2014

I have been investigating the number of connections activeinactive to a certain database server and I have stumbled across an application which seems to not be clearing its database connections.For one instance of a client there was >70 sql connections which eventuated from the closing and reopening one 1 screen in the culprut app. Once the application was closed all of the connections are recycled but its evident that within the application itself it is not correctly reusing already existing open connections.

I have raised a point with the main programmer that we need to investigate more into how the application is managingot managing its ADO .NET connections to SQL.

I am starting with doing some reading here URL... and I was hoping to get some more information about the possible impact of excessive sql connections on the SQL Server itself. Our organization is quite lucky in that our SQl Servers are Overspecced given their workload, bearing that in mind I would like to dig a bit deeper to get some stats if I can to highlight the scope of the issue to the managementprogrammers.Our SQL server peaks at 6500 processes and a good 70% of those are due to this applications mis-management of its sql connections.

Running A Large Number Of SSIS Packages (with Dtexec Utility) In Parallel From A SQL Server Agent Job Produces Errors

Jan 11, 2008

Hi,

I have stumbled on a problem with running a large number of SSIS packages in parallel, using the €œdtexec€? command from inside an SQL Server job.

I€™ve described the environment, the goal and the problem below. Sorry if it€™s a bit too long, but I tried to be as clear as possible.

The environment:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition, SQL Server 2005 32bit Enterprise Edition SP2.

The goal:
We have a large number of text files that we€™re loading into a staging area of a data warehouse (based on SQL Server 2k5, as said above).

We have one €œmain€? SSIS package that takes a list of files to load from an XML file, loops through that list and for each file in the list starts an SSIS package by using €œdtexec€? command. The command is started asynchronously by using system.diagnostics.process.start() method. This means that a large number of SSIS packages are started in parallel. These packages perform the actual loading (with BULK insert).

I have successfully run the loading process from the command prompt (using the dtexec command to start the main package) a number of times.

In order to move the loading to a production environment and schedule it, we have set up an SQL Server Agent job. We€™ve created a proxy user with the necessary rights (the same user that runs the job from command prompt), created an the SQL Agent job (there is one step of type €œcmdexec€? that runs the €œmain€? SSIS package with the €œdtexec€? command).

If the input XML file for the main package contains a small number of files (for example 10), the SQL Server Agent job works fine €“ the SSIS packages are started in parallel and they finish work successfully.

The problem:
When the number of the concurrently started SSIS packages gets too big, the packages start to fail. When a large number of SSIS package executions are already taking place, the new dtexec commands fail after 0 seconds of work with an empty error message.

Please bear in mind that the same loading still works perfectly from command prompt on the same server with the same user. It only fails when run from the SQL Agent Job.

I€™ve tried to understand the limit, when do the packages start to fail, and I believe that the threshold is 80 parallel executions (I understand that it might not be desirable to start so many SSIS packages at once, but I€™d like to do it despite this).

Additional information:

The dtexec utility provides an error message where the package variables are shown and the fact that the package ran 0 seconds, but the €œMessage€? is empty (€œMessage: €œ).
Turning the logging on in all the packages does not provide an error message either, just a lot of run-time information.
The try-catch block around the process.start() script in the main package€™s script task also does not reveal any errors.
I€™ve increased the €œmax worker threads€? number for the cmdexec subsystem in the msdb.dbo.syssubsystems table to a safely high number and restarted the SQL Server, but this had no effect either.

The request:

Can anyone give ideas what could be the cause of the problem?
If you have any ideas about how to further debug the problem, they are also very welcome.
Thanks in advance!

Replication :: Merge Agent Not Applying Transactions In Bulk On First Initialization Of A Subscriber

May 12, 2015

We have a filtered publisher (SQL Server 2012) with several pull and push subscriptions that have been functioning fine for years.

We have just added a new pull subscriber from a remote server.  We configured an alternate folder location on the subscriber (pointing to existing path on a remote server).  We generated new snapshot and partitioned snapshot, and moved to subscribing server at alternate path.We're seeing a problem we've never seen before:

When the merge agent runs, it applies the schema and performs a few hundred bulk inserts, but then proceeds to 'download changes to subscriber' as though the snapshot is old (it is brand new and should have all transactions).  We have never seen this before, i.e. all data is usually applied in bulk when creating a new or reinitializing an existing subscriber.

we marked the subscriber for re-initialization (from both the publishing and subscribing server) with a fresh set of snapshots.  The same problem occurred.We have also tried in our test environment (which mirrors production) and the snapshot applies as expected (via bulk inserts).

(It might be relevant to note the publisher was recently upgraded in-place from 2005 to 2012.)

Large MSMerge_History, MSMerge_genhistory,MSRepl_errors Tables In SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (Merge Push Subscriber)

Nov 23, 2006

SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition act as publisher and distributor.
All subscribers are SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
According to 2005 book online, "MSMerge_History table exists in distribution database". Howevey I found this table in Subscriber database which is in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
The problem is this table (MSMerge_History) and other two tables (MSMerge_genhistory, MSRepl_errors) are quite large. We want to keep SQL Server 2005 Express database as small as possible so we can put more data into it.
Is there anyway (Manually or automatically) to clean those tables in SQL Server 2005 Express? Please help.

SQL 2012 :: Partitioning A Large Dimension?

May 9, 2014

The SQL CAT team's recommendation is to avoid partitioning dimension tables: URL.....I have inherited a dimension table that has almost 3 billion rows and is 1TB and been asked to look at partitioning and putting maintenance in place, etc.I'm not a DW expert so was wondering what are the reasons to not partition dimensions?
