SQL Server Compact Edition Merge Replication Error
Feb 27, 2007
Hi
I am trying to complete sql server compact edition book online walkthrough "Creating a Mobile Application with SQL Server Compact Edition". I am successful to complete it as guided using all default settings (e.g. anonymous access, windows authenticaion etc.) and the sample run on both emulator and my pocket pc svc5000. I have following configuration..
Windows 2000 professional sp4
Sql server 2005 standard edition sp1
VS 2005 profesional edition (sp1 not installed)
Sql server compact edition
Sql server compact edition server tools
But the problem is that in production environment i will not be able to connect to the sql server using named instance (e.g machine_nameinstance_name). i have to use ip address in that situation. so i tried to modify the sample to use ip address in place of named instance and then the problem starts.. I have configued my sql server to allow remote connections using tcp/ip and named pipes using sql surface area config tool.
When using named instance i used following code to Synchronize with sqlserver 2005 with and it worked perfectly :
Dim filename As New String("Program FilesTestTest.sdf")
Dim repl As New SqlCeReplication()
repl.InternetUrl = http://machine_name/Test/sqlcesa30.dll
repl.Publisher = "machine_nameinstance_name"
repl.PublisherDatabase = "Test"
repl.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityType.NTAuthentication
repl.Publication = "Test"
repl.Subscriber = "Test"
repl.SubscriberConnectionString = "Data Source='" + filename + "';Password='';Max Database Size='128';Default Lock Escalation ='100';"
Try
repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase)
repl.Synchronize()
Catch err As SqlCeException
MessageBox.Show(err.ToString)
End Try
When i tried to do replication using ip address it shows following error:
System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException was unhandled
HResult=-2147467259
Message="Failure to connect to SQL Server with provided connection information. SQL Server does not exist, access is denied because the IIS user is not a valid user on the SQL Server, or the password is incorrect."
NativeError=29061
Source="Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition"
StackTrace:
at System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeReplication.Synchronize()
at TEST.MainModule.Sync()
at Test.MainModule.Main()
I am using following code to connect using ip address:
Dim repl As New SqlCeReplication()
repl.InternetUrl = http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/test/sqlcesa30.dll
repl.PublisherNetwork = NetworkType.TcpIpSockets
repl.PublisherAddress = "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,XXXX"
repl.Publisher = "SQL2005" 'instance name of sql in sql2005
repl.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityType.NTAuthentication
repl.PublisherDatabase = "Test"
repl.Publication = "Test"
repl.Subscriber = "Test"
repl.SubscriberConnectionString = "Data Source='" + filename + "';Password='';Max Database Size='128';Default Lock Escalation ='100';"
repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase)
repl.Synchronize()
I have give rights to iuser_manchine_name in the public access list of publication and on database also.
I don't have any idea on where i am wrong... Please help soon..
Many thanks in advance..

I posted a more detailed technical question a couple of weeks ago
with Subject = "Compact Edition 2005 Subscribers - Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based cleanup has deleted metadata"
But I got no replies.
Now my question is simpler: Is SQL Server 2005 Merge Replication reliable with Compact Edition subscribers on WindowsXP tablets?
We deleted all users' local databases a couple of weeks ago, and republished two publications with retention = 60 days.
Now we have at least one user who can't sync with the server, and replication monitor shows the error below.
But if she e-mails her sdf file to a support person, they can successfully sync her database.
We're sure that it's not a permissions issue, which is a normal suspicion when one user can perform a task that another can not.
It doesn't seem like a retention problem, because she's well inside the retention period.
She can successfully sync with the publication with upload/download tablers, but not with the publication with download only tables. Both publications were created on the same day, by the same DBA, with nearly identical properties.
This problem user has operated in the past with no problem, and she's configured identically to all of the others. It just seems like random flakyness with merge replication for Compact Edition subscribers.
I feel stupid saying that, because it sounds like I believe in a magical ghost in the machine. So my question is - IS MERGE REPLICATION A LITTLE BIT FLAKY FOR COMPACT EDITION SUBSCRIBERS ON XP MACHINES?
We've applied SP2 to the server, but no subsequent HotFixes.
We're trying to sell users and management on developing a larger occasionally connected system with the same replication scheme, so we need to know if it deserves our confidence.
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)

Hello,
we've got a SQL Server 2005 which replicates with an SQL Server Compact 3.5. Every 10 to 20 synchronisations we're getting the error mentioned above. A Soft reset of the device helps to make the synchronization working again.
Why is this error happening and how can we resolve this?
BTW, we've also running system that replicates with an SQL Server Compact 3.0 without having this problems.
Thanks,
Markus

Hi All ...I
have been following the MS on-line tutorials to get replication setup
between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Compact Edition. I get to the
point where I run the Configure Web Synchronization and it is running
through the process where it is doing the automated configuration of
the shared directory - assigning users etc.I have attempted
this step with a user account that I expressly created for snapshots
and with the Administrator account and get the following error message:* The operation completed successfully. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070000)At
first, I thought this was a rights issue due to the fact that I was
using an account that I manually created. However, by using the
Administrator account (test only until I can figure this out) that
should have removed any rights issues associated with accessing the
shared directory where the snapshot will reside.Any help in getting this figured out will be greatly appreciated.David L. Collison Any day above ground is a good day!

We are developing Microsoft SQL Server CE 2.0 Merge Replication Using .NET Compact Framework. There is need of sinhronizations between SQL 2005 Mobile Edition witch resides on Barcode terminal (Windows CE) and SQL 2005 Developer Edition (on Windows XP). Everything is done by the book. There is few lines of code that we are using:
public bool Replicate()
{ bool ret = true;
SqlCeReplication repl = null;
try {
// Instantiate and configure
SqlCeReplication object repl = new SqlCeReplication();
string dbFile = ........
repl.InternetUrl = this.InternetUrl;
repl.InternetLogin = this.InternetLogin;
repl.InternetPassword = this.InternetPassword;
repl.Publisher = this.Publisher;
repl.PublisherDatabase = this.PublisherDatabase;
repl.PublisherLogin = this.PublisherLogin;
repl.PublisherPassword = this.PublisherPassword;
repl.Publication = this.Publication;
repl.Subscriber = this.Subscriber;
repl.SubscriberConnectionString ="Data Source=" +dbFile;
if (!System.IO.File.Exists(dbFile))
{ repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase);
}
repl.Synchronize();
}
IIS is configured, but in log on the server we've got this error:
2007/08/09 15:33:02 Hr=80004005 ACK:Error for DistributorSessionID = 58 2007/08/09 15:33:02 Hr=80004005 The SQL statement failed to execute. [,,,SQL statement,,] 28560 Please give us posible solution of this problem, we have searched on forums but with no result. p.s. I'ts urgent

Hello dear all.
I am using a Compact Framework 2.0 on a mobile 5.0 with a local Microsoft SQL Compact Edition 2005 database. The backend database is a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and I am trying to pull a 45000 rows table (the table has 2 varchars(8) forming a primary key and an INTEGER column).
The statement I issue is the following:
rda.Pull(table.TableName, table.TableQuery, Program.RdaOleDbConnectionString, RdaTrackOption.TrackingOnWithIndexes, table.TableName + "Errors");
The application works perfectly when I am pulling smaller tables (up to 15000 rows) but when I try to pull this one I get the following error details:
sqlCeEx
{""}
base {System.SystemException}: {""}
Errors: {System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeErrorCollection}
errors: {System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeErrorCollection}
HResult: -2147024882
Message: ""
NativeError: 0
Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition"
Please have in mind that the handheld on which I deploy does not have an extra storage card.
I have done a thorough internet search and I have found no solution to this problem. I truly rely on you to find the solution.
Thanks in advance,
Steliosvcy.

SQL Server 2005 SP2 Replication
I am having problems installing the SQL Server Compact Server Tools on my
Vista laptop to allow me to connect my Mobile Device running SQL Server
Compact directly to my SQL Server 2005 database through IIS.
I have done this successfully with an XP machine so I'm not sure if it is
Vista problem or not.
I have installed SQL Server 2005 SP2. When I try to install the replication
server tools (Sqlce30setupen.msi), in "System Configuration Check" window I get a failure on "SQL Server requirement" that says: "You must first install the Replication Components for SQL Server 2000 SP 3a
or higher or the SQL Server 2005 Replication Components" and the client components are full instaled in my computer.
I need help for detect and correct the problem.
Sincereously,
Alonso Junior

Should I be able to use a SQL Server Compact Edition sdf file as the data source for the SSIS Import and Export Wizard?
When I select the .net Framework Provider for compact Edition from the data source drop down, I get a message box with "An error occured which the SSIS Wizard was not prepared to handle. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. (mscorlib) Specified method is not supported. (System.Data.SqlServerCe)"
We have a user with a sdf file that will no longer sync, so we wanted to get her data from sdf file tables into SQL Server tables quickly and easily. Since the SSIS wizard wouldn't work with the sdf data source, we copied SQL Server Mgmt Studio query results into an Excel spreadsheet via the Clipboard, them imported those records with SSIS. But we need a repeatable process in case this happens in the future.
We tried to reinitialize her merge replication subscription with SQL Server Mgmt studio, and with C# code, but none of that would work.
How many MS data provider options are available for SQL Server compact edition? I see ".Net Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition" in the SSIS data source drop down, but shouldn't I also see an OLE-DB Provider for SQL Server Compact Edition?
This is all on my XP workstation where I can successfully write C# code for SQL Server Compact data access with Assembly = System.Data.SqlServerCe = C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPublicAssembliesSystem.Data.SqlServerCe.dll. So I think I have the proper tools installed.
Thanks.

I have written following code in my application
I just want to display all the data of a Single table into a Data Grid, I know that we can drag and drop the table on to a form and datagrid is generated, but here I want to retrive those values through my code, how should i do that
I am getting following errors while running the program
Error 1) Error No. 28037, MS SQL Server 2005 Evrywhere Edition
Error: A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed. For more information see HRESULT

At first we received error like
"The merge process could not retrieve identity range resource for table..."
then after solving this error we again started syncing of servers manually then we got some other error like
"the process could not enumerate changes to the subscriber".
We tried our best to solve this problem but some error appears each time like
"The process could not deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber."
"The schema script 'sync -t"Design" -o"dbo" -d"\ECOSYSTEMD$FTPMSSQLEcoSystemftpECOSYSTEM_MLEcosystem_MLEcosystem20060619204802Design_1337.bcp" -hORDER( [intDesignId] ASC)' could not be propagated to the subscriber"
again identity erroe emerges and agin we do the same process.
How to solve these problem?

I have:
A server computer running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
A industrial computer running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
And now also a Psion WorkAboutPro with CE 5 that should run SQL Server Compact Edition.
The industrial computer syncs its data with the server, basically saying "this has happened".
Now I want the Psion to sync with the industrial computer, but this sync must two-way.
I have tried to find a guide or something that can tell me "do this to sync" but the information i have found is sketchy at best.
If someone could point me in the right direction of a guide or something else it would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Björn

Hi,
I have merge replication configured over VPN and the replication is failing to connect to the subscriber through Named pipes with the error Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server ......
Actually , I am having issues with Named pipes connection from publisher to subcriber. I have enabled the protocols and also enabled the remote connections using both tcp/ip and named pipes. I have created the client network alias using named pipes
Also, due to security reasons only few ports have been released on the subscriber. Please provide me some information on the following.
1) Does any port specifically be released for listening on named pipes? i am able to connect using tcpip with out any issues as 1433 has been released.
2) How to configure the replciation to use tcpip and not named pipes (guess by default it will use named pipes)?

Hi there,
I have setup merge replication which successfully synchronizes with a group of desktop users using SQL Compact Edition.
However now I have setup Article Filters and when I attempt to regenerate the snapshot I get the following error:
Invalid column name 'rowguid'.
Failed to generate merge replication stored procedures for article 'AssignedCriteria'.
When I look at publication properties at the Articles page.. All my tables have the rowguid uniqueidentifier successfully added to tables and selected as a compulsory published column, apart from the table above "AssignedCriteria".. Even when I attempt to select this column in the article properties page and press ok, when I come back it is deselected again. ( The Rowguid column is however physically added to the table)
I have scripted the publication SQL and then totally reinstalled from scratch, including the database but for some reason it doesn't like this table. I remove the article filters, but still this "rowguid" is never "selected" in article properties.
We are using Uniqueidentifiers in other columns as well for historical reasons, but this doesn't appear to be a problem in other tables..
DDL For this problematic table is as follows
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AssignedCriteria](
[AssignedCriteria] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[CriteriaName] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[TargetScore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,
[HRPlan] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[ActualScore] [numeric](18, 0) NULL,
[Criteria] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[Employee] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[IsActive] [bit] NULL,
[addDate] [datetime] NULL,
[totalscore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,
[isCalc] [bit] NULL,
[Weight] [decimal](18, 2) NULL,
[ProfileDetail] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [MSmerge_df_rowguid_7FF25DF903B6415FBFF24AC954BC88E4] DEFAULT (newsequentialid()),
CONSTRAINT [PK_AssignedCriteria] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]

I am writing an application that is designed for the desktop, or small group (3 or less) desktops. The application is being deployed using the Cassini web server as a complete "embedded" solution. I wanted to use SQL Server Compact because of its small footprint and because of the synchronization capabilities with SQLServer. Also, it is very easy to deploy vs. SQL Server Express. The idea behind this APP is that someone might use it locally and then decide to subscribe to the service and then connect the same application to a web services application.
That being said, and with knowledge of Microsoft's stance on SQL Compact under ASP.NET, I have most everything working and it works great except for one thing. When I add a SQLDataSource to the page and set the connection string to my file and the DataProvider to System.Data.SqlServerCe and then bind a data grid to the SQLDataSource, it runs fine on my development machine, but when I deploy to my clean test machine, I get an error when the page loads saying:
Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.
I can create a dataset in code (in fact,in several other places I do) and it works fine. It is just the SQLDataSource(s) that are throwing this error. I have a copy of System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll in the bin folder and I have all of the compact DLL's in the bin folder as well. I can't figure out what I need to do. I also have a reference to the System.Data.SqlServerCe in the web.config file.
Can anyone help?

Does the new SQL server Compact edition RC1 (release in Dec 2006) replace the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Device SDK?
OR is this an additional database for specific requirements.
Currently developing against MS SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Device SDK;; if I switch to the Compact edition; is there a migration wiarzrd or Upgrade wizard available?

Is there a way to import the table definitions and data from an Access database into the 3.5 compact edition? I have no clue where to start. I have a .Net application that uses an Access database to store data. I want to create a windows mobile application for collecting the data and syncing with the PC application. Is the 3.5 compact edition the way to go? How do I get started? I don't even know how to open the interface for the database.
I'm certainly no newbie to programming, but the SQL Server and Windows Mobile stuff is like starting all over in some ways.

Hi to all,
I am new to VS, hence new to CF too,
Using VS2005 SP1, CF2.0, PocketPC Mobile 5.0 emulator.
Im looking for the most simple example I can get to create a db and a table just to understand the very basics of SQL Server Compact Edition.
I did some gui examples posted in MSDN, it worked fine, no problem.
But I don't want to use the toolbox dragging DataGrid, DataSourceBinding or Northwind.sdf, or any of that.
All I need is to be able to create a simple db, a table with two columns, and a connection to do very simple query,
I searched and searched, cannot find my simple guide.
Can anybody help me resolving this?
here is my test.
opened a new project, named MydbTest2
added a reference to System.Data.SqlServerCe
added a button to the form1
added a using directive System.Data.SqlServerCe
and this is the rest.
I get errors about
Error 1 The name 'myConn' does not exist in the current context F:My.VS.ProjectsMydbTest2MydbTest2Form1.cs 33 13 MydbTest2
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data.SqlServerCe;
using System.IO;
namespace MydbTest2
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void menuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Close();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string connStr = "Data Source = myDbTest.sdf";
SqlCeEngine myEngine = new SqlCeEngine(connStr);
myEngine.CreateDatabase();
SqlCeConnection myConn = new SqlCeConnection(connStr);
myConn.Open();
SqlCeCommand cmd = myConn.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "CREATE TABLE myTable (firstCol int, secondCol nvarchar(10))";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
}

I am attempting to use the SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition (Management Studio) to create/manage a Compact Edition 3.5 database. My problem is that I cannot even create/open the compact database in Management Studio. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. TIA
Problem Creating the Compact Database:
Open 2008 Management Studio
From menu choose File | Connect Object Explorer...
Choose SQL Server Compact Edition as the Server type.
Choose <New Database...> as the Database file.
Browse to folder where file will be created (C:MyDatabase#1.sdf was used in my example)
Leave all other field as default selections OR make changes, either way it does not work.
Click OK.
At this point the OK button just becomes disabled and nothing happens.
Problem Opening An Existing Compact Database:
Open 2008 Management Studio
From menu choose File | Connect Object Explorer...
Choose SQL Server Compact Edition as the Server type.
Choose <Browse for more...> as the Database file and locate a ".sdf" file that I created using VS2008.
Enter password, if any.
Click OK.
The following exception is displayed:

Hi,
Having read a lot about SQL Server 2005 CE, I decided, after seing that it was finally available, to start its installation.
1- I downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=85E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en
2- Also I downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition books online from following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E6BC81E8-175B-46EA-86A0-C9DACAA84C85&displaylang=en
==> Is there anything else missing if I intend to use it for development with Visual Studio 2005 (VC++)?
==> What is "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Developer SDK" compared to the one "SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition" I installed? Should I install it?
ref: (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E9AA3F8D-363D-49F3-AE89-64E1D149E09B&displaylang=en)
3- There is also a link, which btw doesn't work at all, that should allow me to download following item:
"Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Tools of VS 2005 sp1"
==> Not being able to have any infos about it, what is the use of it? Should I install it in my environment? If so, any working link where I can download it from?
4- I finally noted, while browsing through SQL Server 2005 CE books online, the following note:
The following programming models are supported by SQL Server Compact Edition:
ADO .NET, accessible by using C# or Microsoft Visual Basic
OLE DB, accessible by using Visual C++ option from within Visual Studio 2005
==> How come that CE is not accessible using ADO.NET model when using VC++?
Thanks in advance,
Stéphane

Is it possible to use SQL Server Compact Edition v3.5 with SQL Server Management Studio?
When I attempt to connect to a 3.5 database I get the following error:
"You are trying to access an older version of a SQL Server Compact Edition Database..."
I am using v3.5 beta 2.
If not, is there anything out there that provides a Query Analyzer like interface for viewing data that works with v3.5?
Thanks.

I know that there is no ODBC driver available for SQL Server Compact Edition version 3.5. Do you plan to add an ODBC driver in future release? If yes, is it high in your priority list?
The scenario why I am looking for an ODBC driver is to connect an MS Access application to a SDF file instead of MDB file. This will enable me to easily sync the SDF file with SQL server repository using the new Data Sync Services.

I have a PDA application that manage a database.
My application uses Sql server 2005 Mobile edition and I want to change to
Sql server 2005 Compact edition.
I have an application that automatically upgrade new version of my software at users (customers sites) It is shipped on a memrory card (SD Card).
I want in my upgrade tool to install Sql server 2005 Compact edition so I do it by running the two cab files :
sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.CAB and sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.CAB
It works ok but I want also to uninstall Sql server 2005 Mobile edition and I do not find out how to do it automatically, First I do not know how to find out if Sql server 2005 Mobile edition is installd and if so how to uninstall it.
I want to do it all automatcally in my upgrade utility because my customers do not know to do it manually by theself.
Second I want to know if I have to use the Sql server 2005 Compact edition Uprade tool to upgrade my clients old databases because the now application works ok without Upgrading the database.
Thanks
