SQL Server 2005 TR With IU/QUS - Restore From A Backup

Hello,

SQL Server 2005 TR with IU/QUS - Restore from a backup

Im trying to set-up the above using sp1. It all works fine until the final step, creating a subscription through sp_addarticle and Im getting the following error:

Msg 8152, Level 16, State 10, Procedure sp_MSget_synctran_commands, Line 198
String or binary data would be truncated.

This worked fine on my laptop with a small table with a couple of columns.Now Ive looked at this error and its like

select * from #art_commands

The table only has 49 columns in it, so its not huge.

What are my options for solving/getting around this problem:

1. Try and fix sp_MSget_synctran_commands, from memory, #art_commands has a nvarchar(max) column and Im wondering if this is related. must admit, havent really looked solidly at this sp yet.

2. SP2 doesnt look like it fixes this problem.

3. Create a bespoke method to replicate.

4. anymore for anymore?

It will be impossible to synchronize the databases so this restore from backup was my only option. Im a bit stuck now, can anyone help?

many thanks,

John P
