SQL Server 2008 :: Temporarily Stop Replication / What To Do When Publication Is Dropped
Aug 12, 2015
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 need to run a script in production that adds primary key to a table. Because table is large, I can't run it in one shot, the log file is not so large to accommodate it. Instead, I created a new table with same structure plus new surrogate primary key, and I populate it in a cursor loop.
I already ran it many times in test server, and no problems with that. But the problem will be in production when applications will be accessing this table and try to insert/update it while I am running my loop.
So I am looking for a solution how to block users to access this table, it's OK if they receive an error. Setting database to single user mode will not work because I don't want to block them from all the rest tables in this database.

Is there a way to temporarily disable replication? My problem is that I have pull subscribers that I do not want accessing the database at certain times, so that data updates and backups can occur. Is there a way to make that happen?

I have automated process, which synchronizes a transactional publication using initialize from backup approach. It drops subscriptions and puts them back again once the restore on the subscriber is completed.
Dropping the subscriptions causes a lot of blocking and deadlocking. I've decided to remove those steps, but it causes loss of data on the subscriber.
Is it a must to drop and re-create the subscriptions during such process? If not, how can I avoid the loss of data?

We have restored a database on new server without keeping replication settings. Now while creating the publication no tables are shown in new publication wizard window. In fact we have hundred of tables in database and included in replication on source server from where backup was taken.
What may be the reason that tables are not appearing?

Hi there,
I installed 2 SQL2000 servers at a client site, the first acting as a publisher and distributor for transactional replication. The second is a push subscription to the first. The client wanted to change the database name, and some other stuff, so I removed the replication and set it up again for the new database name.
All's fine at the publisher / distributor but the subscriber is showing as still having active push subscription to the old (and new) databases
Any idea how to fix this

Hi, everyone,
I am new in SQL server 2005. I had setup SQL server 2005 P2P replication. Somehow it did not work one of two way replication. I tried to delete the publication. However I could not do it. have the same problem. When I tried to delete the publication, I got the publication " " does not exist.[SQL server error: 20026]. I tried to use sp_droppublication, it gave me error "the database is not enabled for publication". Nevertheless, I can see the publication in MS SQL Management Studio and Publication monitor with OK status. I could not find the distribution database either.
Could you anyone has ideas to delete this publication? I am sorry I am not a programmer. Please give me more detail explanation if you can. 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...

Is 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?

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

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?

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 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?

Under EM's Replication Monitor/Publishers/pub1/publisher1 there is a "Validate Subscriptions" option on the right-click menu. Since I see unexplained Replication Validation activity I think that the "Validate Subscriptions" option is turned on. But there is no "turn-off" button or way to say "stop." Does anyone know how this "feature" works?

Poor Performance Temporarily Cured by Re-booting SQL Server
Please can you help?
SQL Server 2000.
Accessed by VB.Net 2003.
Server set up by SQL consultant (who is no longer available).
We have a regular problem, which is most noticeable when analysing data (rather than data inserts/deletions) for producing xml or csv files or reports, even though the amount of data is relatively small. However structure of database means that there are still quite a lot of records and a lot of links between tables (database is currently being redesigned but in the mean time the problem still exists).
The problem is that access slows down dramatically and in some cases all but stops (one example is a csv file being produced where only a few lines have been output in 30 minutes). In every case the symptoms can be solved by re-booting the SQL server, after which the entire csv file is output in 10 minutes. Obviously though we wish to solve the problem and not just the symptom.
Additional information:
Transaction logs are backed up at 13:00 and in the evening (both periods of very low usage).Full backup is run in the evening and at 13:00 (both periods of very low usage), with integrity check performed prior to full backup. Database is optimized after the full backup including shrinking the database leaving 15% of the data space free.

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.

We have a SQL Server 2008 that is being replicated transactionally (log shipping) onto another SQL Server 2008.
Can we report against the replication slave without disrupting the replication process? I have been informed that the slave server needs exclusive access to the db in order to apply the transaction log.
If this is the case, are there any configuration changes which would allow us to report from the slave without impacting replication?
