SQL Server Mobile 2005 Merge Replication Problem On Windows Mobile 5.0
Aug 8, 2006
Dear ppl,
I am writing an application for a device (MDA Pro T-Mobile) having Windows Mobile 5.0 using
-MS .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP-1
-SQL Mobile 2005.
-VS 2005 .NET
The application uses Merge Replication. The error occurs in the Synchronise() Method of the SqlCeReplication object.
"SQL Server Mobile encountered problems when opening the database."
repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase);
repl.Synchronize();
I don't understand why I am having this error. It does create the database on AddSubscription() method but it is failing opening the database on Synchronise(). I have also tried uninstalling and then reinstalling all the SQL Mobile components in the following order.
-sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.cab
-sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.cab
-sqlce30.dev.ENU.wce5.armv4i.cab
However, when i run this application on a device(Dell X50 AXIM) with Pocket PC 2003, it runs fine creating the database and sysnchronising it.
The target platform for the project is Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK.
Does any one have any clue what could be the problem ?

Failed To Find Or Load The Registered .Net Framework Data Provider When Using SQL Server Compact Edition
Jul 3, 2007Hello
I have recently downloaded Orcas beta VS product and had no previous version of VS before. The install went clean and I have been able to generate Window apps and web apps with very little issues; however, I have one issue with running a web app using the "view in browser" option for checking an aspx page for validity. If I use the default Northwind database provided and generate an aspx form using the "DataSet" toolbox widget, the tool prompts for the datasource etc. required to generate the required code. I can select the Northwind database and select the desired columns from one of the tables. Once completed, I build the project (clean build) and then select the "view in browser" option to verify the results. The result is an error page indicating a server error ->
Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider.
I created on odbc connection to an iSeries(as400) box and was successfull in displaying the table on the webpage! I looked into the web.config file and it appears that all the required XML data is present. Any help would be appreciated as I am fairly green when it comes the .NET world.
Thanks

Locking Up After SQL Server Mobile Merge Replication

View 14 Replies View RelatedLocking Up After SQL Server Mobile Merge Replication
Nov 9, 2007
Hi ,
I would like to get your advice in an issue that I am facing regarding merge replication.
The flow is like:
1) User enter his login name and password.
2) Host_name is set as the login name that the user enters.
3) Based on the HOST_NAME property after filtering user gets the records relevent only to him
(Differnet subscriber may use same mobile device).
4) He make some changes in the local sdf according to the business logic.
5) The application Syncs with server on the next login session.
My issue is when I am trying to run the application in emulator exactly at the sdf updating part the application terminates.
Error mess: Connection to Remote Device has been lost.....
If I execute the same sql insert query it works om the local sdf and master database.
Emulator used where Pocket PC 2003 SE and Windows Mobile 6 classic emulator.
I have installed 1) Visual Studio 2005 SP 1 2) net compact framework SP2.
When I comment all the code related to Sync ,application works witout any issue.
And the same application works in my "I mate kjam".
The code that I use is given below:
==========================================================================
public void Sync(string hostname, int newsub) // Parameters for HOSTNAME and flag to denote new user or existing //user.
{
SqlCeReplication repl = new SqlCeReplication();
repl.InternetUrl = @"http://231.000.000.211/Merge/sqlcesa30.dll";

Merge Replication Between SQL Server 2005 And SQL Mobile
Oct 18, 2007Hi,
I'm currently investigating the feasibility of having SQL Mobile on a number of devices running Windows CE. These devices will have to synchronize with the server (either using merge replication or RDA) over GPRS. The problem I have is that some of these devices will never be online. Is there are a way of synching these offline devices? The model I had in mind was using a USB key (or some other storage device) to download the latest updates from an online device and transferring this data to the offline device, and vice versa e.g. from offline to online and then merging. Is this feasible?
Thanks

I can't seem to find which SQL Server Compact Edition version is pre-installed on the Windows Mobile 6 rom.
I guess it is 3.0, but I'm not sure about it.
Another question is, if I use SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 by deploying the .dll files as part of my application's CAB installer, will this be a problem for Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Mobile 6?

Merge Replication 32-bit IIS - 64-bit SQL Server 2005 -Windows Mobile 5 Device
Nov 15, 2006We have setup a 32-bit IIS server on a 32-bit machine. Installed necessary SQL Server components (32-bit replication components). We have installed SQL Server 2005 64-bit SP1 with latest hotfixes on a 64-bit machine.
On the Mobile device we installed SQL Server 2005 Mobile.
When we start mergereplication the problem we have is error 28009 (An instance of the SQL Server Reconciler cannot be created) on the mobile device. I read allot about it, but still have a questetion.
Should this work?
I found the doc: SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Technical Resource Guide:
Note: If your upgrade involves SQL Server CE subscribers, you must perform additional actions on the IIS server. You will need to install SQL Server 2005 client connectivity components along with SQL Server Mobile Edition components on the IIS server. You will also have to replace sqlcesa30.dlll, sqlcerp30.dll, and all the replication components on the IIS server.
From this I conclude it should work or is the doc in error?
If it does not, what can we do?
32-bit SQL Server 2005 on the 64-bit machine should work. (Can a 64-bit SQL Server 2005 run alongside 32-bit SQL Server 2005?).
Beste regards,

SQL Mobile Fails To Send Data To IIS - Merge Replication
Nov 22, 2006This is just too simple. I must be doing something wrong. I have tried everything, redoing the SQLMobile merge publication, setting permissions, and need help ASAP.
The basic test with the http://localhost/sqlmobile/sqlcesa30.dll returns the message:
SQL Server Mobile Server Agent 3.0
I have tried the merge replication with both my local SQL Server 2005 installation and a remote development box. Both instances return the same error.
I am able create and replicate a database using the sample application:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171908.aspx
However, another simple applications fails to synchronize when simply using the following code block:
Dim repl As New SqlCeReplication()
repl.InternetUrl = "http://xens/sqlmobile/sqlcesa30.dll"
repl.Publisher = "xena"
repl.PublisherDatabase = "SQLMobile"
repl.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityType.NTAuthentication
repl.Publication = "SQLMobile"

repl.SubscriberConnectionString = _
"Data Source='" + filename + "';Password='';" _
& "Max Database Size='128';Default Lock Escalation ='100';"
repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase)

How Do I Measure Bandwith Usage For Merge Replication SQL 2005 To Sql Server Mobile 2005?
Jan 24, 2007Hi,
Is there any way to measure bandwith usage during merge replication between sql server 2005 and sql server mobile 2005 running on a cradled wm5 mobile device.
Attaching the windows performance monitor to the network connection established over usb would work although I was wondering if there was something specific for this case integrated into Sql server 2005 / sql server mobile 2005 / Sql server management studio / third party tools that i could use ?
thnx,
pdns.
SQL Mobile 2005 Replication - SQL Mobile DLL Could Not Be Loaded - Error 28559
Jun 15, 2006I am migrating a pocket PC application from VS 2003 to VS 2005 and a few weeks ago I hit the following problem when replicating
A SQL Mobile DLL could not be loaded. Reinstall SQL Mobile. [ DLL Name=sqlceca30.dll]
Scanning forums for help I saw that other people had had this problem and one
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/aspnet_answers/NETFrameworkCompactFramework/Feb2006/post25814466.asp
suggested that this problem could be circumvented by getting the replication object early and then continuously using the same object for subsequent replications.
I did this and it works a lot better now but ever so often I get another error which is
Native Error 28559 SQL Mobile encountered problems when opening the database
My only option at this point is to stop and start the application which cures the problem.
Merge Replication With SQL Mobile 2005
Apr 25, 2006We are using SQL 2005 (SP1) and mobile agents with SQL Mobile. We are seeing an excessive number of updates after a device's database is reinitialized. My understanding was that if I generate a new snapshot or reinitialize all subscriptions (from the server), the devices would only get what the database looks like right now (inserts only) after syncing and/or reinitializing, but they are actually getting the right number of inserts and a huge number of updates in Replication Monitor. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Using Row Filtering In SQL Mobile Merge Replication
Oct 25, 2007Hi,,
I understand that it is possible to set filters dynamically using functions 1) SUSER_SNAME() 2) and HOST_NAME().
SUSER_SNAME() returns the login credentials used in the subscritption.
HOST_NAME() returns the host machine and can be overloaded with buisiness information.
My application should work as below;
1) User enters the login credentials.
2) Some information as the User name passed to server and if the user name is valid , the rows related to this particular user get downloaded to device.
A new user is added directly in the Users table in master database.
My questions are :
1) If I have 3000 users , should I create 3000 subscriptions with 3000 HOSTName or Login credential information to differentiate btween users?
2) If yes , other than using the wizard is there any scripts available to create large number of subscription?
3) If add subscription programatically , should I re-initialise subscription for each new user which is assigned with a diferrent host name value?
my current code looks like this
SqlCeReplication repl = new SqlCeReplication();
repl.InternetUrl = @"http://100.000.000.000/test/sqlcesa30.dll";
repl.Publisher = @"something";
repl.PublisherDatabase = @"something";
repl.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityType.DBAuthentication;
repl.PublisherLogin = @"sa";
repl.PublisherPassword = @"something";
repl.Publication = @"somethingPublisher";
repl.Subscriber = @"something";
repl.HostName = @"newuser"; // The user name entered in the login form assigned to Hostname property.
repl.SubscriberConnectionString = @"Data Source=""Program Files esthost.sdf"";Max Database Size=128;Default Lock Escalation =100;";
try
{
repl.ReinitializeSubscription(true);
repl.Synchronize();
repl.Dispose();
}
Please advise

Merge Replication Problem On Windows Mobile 5
Sep 9, 2006Hi,
I developed a mobile application (CF 2.0) that uses merge replication to synchronize data between SQL Server Mobile and SQL Server 2000 SP4. The application uses asynchronous synchronization (BeginSynchronize method) to initiate the replication and update the user about the progress. The application worked perfectly on PPC2003 and Windows CE .Net 4.2 platformes.
The problem started when I moved it to WM5 platform. We're using Symbol MC70 devices.
When I start the replication for the first time it synchronizes without a problem. If I perform additional synchronizations(updates) it synchronizes without a problem. If I exit the application and start it again the sync process hangs when I try to synchronize it(to deliver updates).
Any ideas?
Thank you
Merge Replication Using SSL On A Windows Mobile 5.0 Device
Feb 5, 2007
Dear ppl,
I have a windows mobile 5.0 application that syncronises with SQL Sever 2005 (Merge Replication). The replication works fine without SSL. But when using SSL it doesn't work .On the device i get an error
28037, A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed.
I have created a a Wild Card Certificate (*.domain-name.net) using Microsoft Certificate Services (Stand Alone) and setup the replication website with replication virtual directory under it , in IIS, to use this certificate. The host header for the replication site is set to "sql.domain-name.net". I have binded the host headers to the port as well.
I can access the https://sql.domain-name.net/replication/sqlcesa30.dll from remote computer and device and it says Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition Server Agent, that means it is setup correctly.
I have installed the certificate authority and its wild card certificate on the device Root Certificates. Now when I call repl.syncrhonise() from device .. it throws exception with error 28037, A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed.
which i think means, it can't find the service url.
I am not sure what is the problem..something to do with Trust - SSL certificates... Is there any thing i am missing ?
Awaiting,
SQL 2005 Mobile Merge Replication Size Limits?
Feb 8, 2006I am in the process of testing a SQL 2005 Std x64 server with merge replication using Windows Mobile 5.0 clients and SQL 2005 Mobile. The test DB is a copy of the currently active DB, but has been expanded to include some new tables to support planned application functionality extensions.
Once the publication exceeds 97 Articles, the error is thrown that "The buffer pool is too small or there are too many open cursors". If I drop one article everything is fine. I ran a test with dummy DB that had 100 blank tables, and this initialized just fine on the client. The additional articles I am publishing (the 98th table) is also empty, but it throws the error anyway.
Is there a limit on the total size/number of changes that can be sent? Since I have run tests sending over 64,000 changes to a client during initialization this does not seem to be the case (I am only attempting a little more than 9,700 changes on this initialization).
Some other ideas that have been tested without success are to stop the user triggers from propagating, and toggling the AWE setting for SQL. The Replication Monitor does say the client completes replication, and it seems to choke at the very end of completing replication when it attempts to write to the tracking tables. The last successful action is sys.sp_MSadd_merge_history90, and it appears to be acting on the last table added to the publication.
There does not appear to be a limit on the number or articles, since I can publish more articles in a dummy DB than I am able here, so it seems to be something to do with size. Any information would be helpful, this is a very frustrating issue. Thanks!
High CPU Utilization On Merge Replication With SQL 2005 Mobile
Jan 10, 2006I have a question for anyone who mas some tips/pointers for optimizing SQL merge replication publications.
The front end web server is running IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 x86 Server Standard (Server A). The back end database server is running SQL 2000 Standard on Windows 2003 x86 Standard (Server B). The merge replication clients connect via HTTPS over the Internet from a custom C#.NET 2005 application using SQL 2005 Mobile running on Windows Mobile 5.0 (Client).
The publication itself has several filters on it. The entry point uses the user's Windows username to start the filter. Based on the user, it then filters the records in multiple tables. There are 68 articles and 44 filter statements. The filters extend multiple layers deep, in other words they are not all filtering off the HOST_NAME() variable, some tables filter from records in tables that filter from the HOST_NAME() variable. The publication is set to minimize data sent to the clients, and considers a subscription out of date if it has not synced in the last 4 days. All the rowguids are indexed as well.
There are approximately 35 clients actively using the application at any given time. On average, a client will initiate a merge replication 3-4 times per hour from 8am-5pm. Generally, a sync will take between 10 seconds and 2 minutes to complete, with most of them being around 30 seconds on average.
When a client starts a sync, there is a spike to about 50% on the server's CPU graph. If multiple clients attempt to sync at the same time the CPU utilization can be pushed to 100% for extended periods (more than 30 seconds).
I recently completed a project to increase the bandwidth available to the clients, and plan to reduce the number of filters significantly (although this will obviously increase the amount of data going to the clients and the storage needs on the individual devices). I also plan on changing the setting to not minimize the amount of data sent to the clients.
Having said all that, does anyone have any information about how to further optimize merge publications to mobile clients? The next publication will be on SQL 2005 x64 Standard if I can solve the issues in the text environment. I would like to enhance the publication as much as possible to make the end user experience better than it currently is.
Thanks!
Problem Using SQL Server Mobile 2005 With Windows Mobile 5 Application
Mar 23, 2006Hello,
I am developping a non-managed C++ application for PocketPC using a SQL Server mobile database.
The application is compiled for PocketPC 2003 and uses SQL Server Mobile v2. I use Visual Studio 2005. But I need to compile the application for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. So I installed the WM5 SDK and had the WM5 into my project configuration.
The "ssceoledb.h" which I include incluses the "transact.h" file. But my problem is that this file is only provided with the PocketPC 2003 SDK and not in the WM5 SDK.
So I cannot use the WM5 configuration project with SQL Server. I also tried with the last SQL Server Mobile 2005 (ie v3.0) and the "ssceoledb30.h" also includes "transact.h".
Did I miss something to install ?
Do you know how I can resolve the problem ?
By advance, thank you for any answer.

Cannot Build SQL Server Mobile Solution For Windows Mobile 5
May 18, 2006Using MS VS 2005 (incl SQL Server Mobile)
MS Pocket PC 2005 SDK
I am working on a project that builds for Pocket PC on both Mobile 2003 and Mobile 5. The project uses/will use SQL Server Mobile to store local data.
Project created from new with support for both platforms. I include required header files ssceerr30.h and ssceoledb30.h.
Project builds fine in WM2003 configuration, release and debug.
When I build for WM5 the compiler cannot find the header file transact.h. This is included from within ssceoledb30.h. Same as under WM2003.
In WM2003 configuration if I highlight the ssceoledb30.h include in Visual Studio and open the header, it takes me to <Visual Studio dir>SmartDevicesSDKSQL ServerMobilev3.0. I then locate the include for transact.h and do the same, which takes me <Visual Studio dir>SDKPocketPC2003include. The file exists.
If I repeat the above 'browsing' under the WM5 configuration, ssceoledb30.h takes me to a different copy in the WM5 SDK directory. There is no diff between the file here and the other copy used by WM2003. If I attempt to open transact.h - file does not exist.
Fix (which I'm not too sure about, i.e. is it OK?) - If I copy transact.h to the WM5 SDK directory, the project builds.
Why has transact.h disappeared from WM5 SDK?
I can find no ref's to this problem anywhere. Is my installation of the WM5 SDK corrupt? What else could I be missing?
Is there a sample for SQL Server mobile (like the NorthwindOLEDB sample) that comes configured to build for WM5?
SQL Server Mobile Tutorial And Getting Proper Mobile DB Installation
Apr 24, 2006Hi folks, I'm new to Windows Mobile progamming, and new to this forum. Apologies in advance if I'm asking a boneheaded question, but I've done searches and can't find anything directly applicable to my problem.
I'm currently walking through the published MS tutorial in setting up an SQL Server 2005 Mobile application that subscribes to a publication on SQL Server 2005 to exchange information.
I've gotten almost all the way through... successfully set up the server components, creating the publication, etc. On the mobile side, I've been able run the cab files to install the SQL Mobile components and to create the project, add the reference to the dll, and instantiate an engine object. It compiles.
The step in the tutorial after that, though, where you specify the data source from the "data" menu, I've got a problem. When I try to use the "new connection" dialog from choosing the data connection, "MS SQL Server Mobile Edition" doesn't show up as a choice. I've tried choosing any of the other combinations, and in teh subsequent "Connection properties" section my database, SQLMobile (as in their sample) is available, but I get an error when I choose it and click OK. Clicking on "Test Connection" gives me a connection successful message.
My guess is that something about the Mobile server side components is not installed correctly on my development machine, but honestly I have no idea how to begin to fix it. Has anyone seen this problem before and know how to resolve it?
Your time and any knowledge sharing is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
-Dana

Creating A Mobile Application With SQL Server Mobile - FIX
Jul 21, 2006This is a great tutorial and it's a shame one of the more important steps was missed.
In the €śCreate the snapshot user€? section you you find the steps to create the snapshot_agent account. Then in the €śCreate the snapshot folder€? section you find the share and folder permissions. However, at no point do the instructions advise you about adding the snapshot_agent to the SQL Server Logins. The result is that agent cannot perform the initial snapshot but you won't find this out until 50 steps later after Step 10 in the section €śCreate a new subscription".
To get back on track, openthe Object Explorer's Security section and add the snapshot_agent to your logins. Then using the "User Mappings", set an appropriate level for the SQLMobile database role. Once completed you then need to run the agent.
Right-click the SQLMobile publication you created and select "View Snapshot Agent status". From that dialog you can select "Start" to run the agent. When it completes, you can return to the tutorial section "Create a new subscription" and continue with the tutorial.
