Anyone know what or how to calculate how much bandwidth I may use during replication. I have done this with large pipes with out a problem, just concerned I may need to change the interval to something else.
Thanks

We recently installed another SQL Server so we could test performance of replication between
the two servers. After I set up the replication between the two I got the following error:
subscriber must be running in Per Seat (Named User) licensing mode to use this replication feature.
Is there any way around this? Or could you direct me to some documention pertaining to
this error?
Thank you
Hi:
We have a project that will consist of 3 production servers in 3 different
regions and each server has it`s own clients in that region. We want to use
replication to keep them all in synch so that if one goes down, the client
PC`s would just re-connect to one of the other two remaining servers and
keep working.
1. I am wondering what type of replication to use?
2. I was leaning towards merge, but was wondering how to use it to keep 3
servers in synch? If I use the Central publisher with updating subscribers
scenario, I foresee a potential problem as follows:
A. Server1 is central publisher
B. Server2 and Server3 are updating subscribers
C. Server2 (or Server3) goes down, clients reconnect to Server1 and
keep working.
D. When Server2 (or Server3) is back up, Server1 will push all
changes back to Server2.
but,
E. Server1 goes down, clients reconnect to either Server2 or
Server3 and keep working.
F. Since Server1 is down, changes made to Server2 not replicated
back to Server3 (The central publisher is gone) until Server1 comes back up.
G. Server2 goes down while Server1 is down, clients re-connect to
Server3.
H. The changes made to Server2 were not replicated to Server3
because the central publisher is missing.
I. Server3 therefore is missing data changes.
Please help me figure this out. I feel as if I am missing something that I
could do to also keep Server2 and Server3 in synch with each other besides
the Central Publisher.
Thanks in advance!

suppose i am repliacting(Transactional Replication) to two servers using the same publications can i stop replicating to one server without disturbing the other server?
If i resume the replication to the server after two days what will happen to the two day's data?will they be replicated when i resume the replication?
Thank you
Can some one please give me a quick,brief description on the "Major diffrences" between these to features? Thank You, JJ

Hi
I have two SQL Servers (6.5). One based in London (LDNINNTS9) and one in New York (NYINNTS2).
I had bidirectional replication set up on one table in a DB and everything is (WAS!!!) working fine. Came to work this morning (Monday typical!) and the following has happened.
When I select the remote servers option on the NY server from Enterprise manager I get the following error message
Unable to connect to site '0'because '' is not defined as a remote server.
Now it says that '' is not defined as a remote server. So I did a select of @@Servername and it has returned (null). It was set to NYINNTS2. I have tried executing some ISQL to change the name and started and stopped the SQL Services but the name remains (null). Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to set the name up as it was?
I know that the Server name gets set to null if it is invalid, but I am trying to set it to NYINNTS2, which should not be invalid? Does the domain name impact the validity of the name?
HELP!!!!

Hi All,
Just want to know if we can replicate data (Transactional Replication) from a clustered servers (server A and Server B are active-passive clustered running SqlServer 7) to another server C running SqlServer 7.
If yes, how to go about doing this. Any white papers, KB articles or books out there which will walk through the steps to do it.
Appriciate any help.

Hello, Heros of The Programming World!
How it is possible to perform "replication" between two databases using technological means of MS SQL Server 2005 if two servers do not have a connection at all. The only thing is possible - is transfer of data for the replication on a CD.
What is the best way to do it if central database has a hundreds of such "subscribers"?
Hi There Gurus - Another Replication question for you all:
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get info on using Linked Servers in Snapshot Replication?
We have Replication all scripted & working between Registered servers, but one of our divisions is not allowing us to register their box on the Parent - ONLY a Linked server.
Thanks in Advance Everyone...

Hi! need your help.
I have 2 dedicated sql servers xx.xx.x.155 and xx.xx.x.165 (Hosted Environment)
Both SQL Server 2005.
I need to replicate (snapshot daily) data from 155 (Apollo1) to 165 (Apollo2).
and I have many questions as this is the 1st time that I work on this environment.
I created 3 windows accounts and was able to create the publications (Apollo1).
Apollo1ReplSnapAgent
Apollo1ReplDistAgent
Apollo1PublisherUser
However (the distributor) is not visible to Apollo2 so I am unable to subscribe.
Do you have any idea what I need to do to make it visible?
I setup an ftp site to drop the publication (as I was unable to create an UNC Share) and I was hoping to be able to subscribe to it.
Probably it is a matter of permissions...maybe a firewall? should I ask my provider to open a port? do I need to create the same 3 accounts in the Subscriber?
something like Apollo2SubscriberUser?
Please help!
I am lost!
Hi,
I tried with success to replicate a table_test_repl from my local server to an other server.
I used only one table for testing.
After that, i can't drop the 2 tables a_test_repl (on my local server and the other : I've got a message 'cannot drop the table because it is published for replication'
What can I do? I need absolutely to drop these tables to keep a clean model
and I can't drop the database and try again.
Thanks to your answers

Hello,Being a bit of a SQL Server novice, need some advice with the followingsituation.Server A and Server B have SQLServer 2000 based databases. The vendorof the application/system has implemented their own replication processto ensure the 2 databases are in sync. However, there is no clusteringwith virtual IP addresses implemented. So to an external client/db, itis 2 identical databases with the same name on 2 distinct servers.We need to develop an application that will reside on a networkedserver C and with SQLServer 2000 as well. While most of the tables inthis database are self contained, around 10 tables will have to bemirror copies of the same tables from either Server A or Server B.Question, how do we implement subscription based replication on top ofa redundant database, when no clustering is implemented? So, inessence, when Server A is alive, the database on Server C willperiodically (or on change) replicate the 10 tables from Server A. WhenServer A is not alive, it needs to do same from server B. (When bothserver A and B are alive, it is acceptable to get data from either,since they are synchronized internally).Any alternate suggestions on achieving this functionality are welcometoo. If SQL Server 2005 has some capabilities that may address thisproblem, that is a consideration as well.Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble finding any documentation on how linked servers are set-up under SQL 2005 for log-shipping and replication. Under SQL 2000, the only linked servers "visible" were ones that were user-defined. Under SQL 2005, it seems when you set-up log-shipping or replication, you get these new linked servers which are automatically defined. I would like to understand them and in particular, how security is maintained. We recently had a production issue where after some problem with a server which resulted in having to restart SQL Server, and shrink msdb, log-shipping started to fail authentication when trying to run alert jobs. Only after rebooting the server, and also the log-ship target server, and waiting 9 hours, did the authentication correct itself. I would like to know how it resolved itself and what took so long?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe setup: Two sql server 2005 SP1 clusters replicating with about 25 transactional publications and 10 merge publications. (Both clusters are being tested, nothing is in publication)
Currently, the servers are in the same building, which is prone to power outages. When a power outage occurs, how are the publications going to act once power is restored? Will we have to reinitialize the publications? This would be bad considering one of our publications takes around four hours to deliver a complete snapshot. What happens if one of the clusters where to go offline? When it comes back would it continue to replicate, or would the publication need to be reinitialized? Curious if anyone has any experience with this.
I've tried searching for any articles on this topic and have not been successful. If anyone knows of any, point me in that direction. Thanks!

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
We have an environment with 7 servers that are running replication with one another and I'm wondering if there are any tools or experiences that any of you might have that may assist in the auditing of these servers. The data should be in synch accross the boards for all tables, but sometimes problems can arise such as replication not being set up properly, stored procedure's being out of synch, or data gliches etc.
In dealing with these issues we have an in-house written program which analises each table on each server and takes a snapshot and does column by column compare. We also have another program that will synch the data up (basically a delete/insert statement on the publisher). This process can take up to 3 weeks for our quarterly update of every table. I'm wondering if anybody has used any tools such as in SSIS or a third party tool and has done or is doing something similar to what we are doing now. If so, are there any tips you wouldn't mind sharing on how our process might be sped up?
Thanks,
Phil
I have multiple web databases for storefront orders as linked servers on SQL Server 2008 R2. I need to organize the data for these orders into a structure that can be imported into my ERP application db frequently either on demand or periodically during the day. We are essentially trying to make the manual order entry process automated. My thought was to get the data into views that resemble the schema of the order table in my application db and then schedule a stored procedure with sql jobs or a load routine from within the ERP application that would insert data from the view into the order table.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report that was designed using SQL Reporting Services that sits on a SQL reporting server. It's nothing too exciting, it is essentially a three page application with legal jumbo on pages 2 and 3 and applicant data in fields on page 1.
We use rectangles to force page breaks to page 2 and to page 3.
When running the report on the report server, it shows and prints fine.
When running the report from the QA website internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from the production website from a machine internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from outside of the company network, the report is jacked. It obliterates large chunks of text, crams text together, and creates blank pages.

can anyone tell me if they know of a way to automate the update process from development servers to live server, with little interference from an administrator
I have a development team that are constantly updating their databases along with their ASP code, and want to publish changes an a weekly basis. They have asked me for a way to take their new structures, tables, procedures etc, and copy them to the live servers, but NOT to interfere with existing customer data.
Funny I know – and I hate the idea btw :(

I am in the middle of a major migraton project, moving from x86 SQL 2000 to IA64 SQL 2005. I have a business need to link to several legacy servers. I have a number of problems I am trying to solve.
1) Linking a Kerberos server to a non-Kerberos server.
2) Linking x64 or IA64 servers to x86 servers.
3) Linking SQL 2005 to SQL 2000.
Two of the errors I am encountering are:
------------------------------
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Communication link failure".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10054)

And
------------------------------
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for the linked server "SCDC250DB" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB".

Hi,
I am trying to use shared variables in the emebedded code of a report. But
when i assign a value to the shared variable in the detail level and access
the same from footer it shows different value (0).
I declared an integer variable as a shared variable. And changed its value
in the detail level. Then tried to access its value in the table footer.
Public Shared testVal As Integer
Function testValFunc()
testVale = 25
End Function
In detail level i call Code.testValFunc()
In footer -> Code.testValFunc() gives 0
Any Idea??? Is it because the header/footer is computed first and then the detail?

Ok, got an assignment from my boss.. Need shared storage for a 2 node cluster, with main focus on MSSQL DB Failover. We won't be storing alot of data, speed it not really an issue, just availability..
As far as I know I need 2 SCSI cards, 1 for each node. Node1 has to have ID7 and Node2 ID6 (for example)
this is it.. what's next? what's the best way to configure all this? Do I need a special box for all hard drives to be with certain controller?
I was thinking to link up like this

Hi,
I have noticed the the cubes that we have here use shared dimensions.
For almost all cubes(5-6) there are at least 4-5 common dimensions.
According to what I have been preached so far, the shared dimensions are so that you can reuse them. That is not what is practised here.
for example.
cube1 has somedim1, dim2_c1, dim3_c1...
cube2 has xyzdim1_c2,xyzdim2_c2,dim3_c2..
dim3_c1 and dim3_c2 are the same dimensions, one for each cube.
I don't know if I am missing something. Shouldn't the use the same dimensions? Could there be any reason for this.
pls. advice.
TIA

We've been running a database on a shared server. The traffic on oursite has been picking up steadily and it seems as though we're runninginto sporadic downtime on the database. Sometimes when we do largedata imports, the transaction log fills up and the schema somehowfails to truncate it when asked to back it up. So we run the explicittruncate statement and that usually seems to fix the problem. A fewdays ago a single stored procedure started to block, but inexplicablyonly when called by our .NET server. When called by hand fromEnterprise Manager, it executed fine. I was at my wits end when Ijust recreated it with the same exact code and it magically startedworking again. What gives? Is this at all indicative of a shareddatabase, or are these known SQL Server issues?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a couple of questions on the nature of shared and private deployment of SQL Server CE 2005 on mobile devices:
1. I've read that with a shared install, SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition files are automatically updated and serviced by Microsoft Update. I take it that this only applies to installations on desktop computers -- if you're installing on mobile devices, there IS no automatic update. Right?
2. I've also read that in order to do a shared install of SQL Server 2005 CE, the user must have administrative rights. How does this apply to installs on a mobile device? There is no such thing as an administrative user on a mobile device. However, mobile devices CAN require different levels of privilege to install certain programs -- do you need something like an application signed for privileged execution (via a M2M certificate) in order to do a shared install of SQL Server 2005 CE on a mobile device?
Or is the shared versus private deployment only an issue when deploying to a desktop?
