SQLEXPRESS Merge Pull Subscription
Feb 2, 2007
Hi all I have a question,
I am trying to enable a replication process between a SQL 2005 server and sqlexpress instances and i run into the following problem.
On the publisher a subscription (sp_addmergesubscription) is added for each 'machine' that participates in the replication. Is there a way to get around this?
Because when we distribute the installation we dont know all the machine names. I have made the publication accesible for anynymous access. But when the replication script is installed on the client ,the Error message that the subscription does not exists appears.
The only difference between the instal script for the client is that we do not add a sp_addmergesubscription on the server. Is it possible to let SQL server make an subscription when the client connects for the first time?
To summarize my question: Is there a way to enable the replication with only running a script on the client and not on the server?
If i need to explain it more in detail , just let me know and ill try

Hi I want to Set up Such Merge Replication, Which can can Synchronize With out Network, Means Syncronization using CD.
Also When the Network connectivity will be available then it should do synchronization
I wants to transfer some file using CD only those changes to database which hasn't been synchronized, thats why Backup will not work.
Pls Help me, or tell me wether it is possible or not.

Hello.
I've been having an error when downloading the snapshot agent from our Publisher.
The articles selected are all the tables and all the stored procedures.
The Subscription is created programmatically and so is the synchronization. When trying to synchronize for the first time and when the subscriber tries to download the snapshot I have the following error:
Error messages:
The schema script 'Distrito_2.sch' could not be propagated to the subscriber. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201001)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147201001
The process could not read file 'GESZifuncAFRODITE$SILVITEST_GESZIF_GESZIF20070621182845Distrito_2.sch' due to OS error 3. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL20143)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL20143
The system cannot find the path specified.
(Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL3)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL3
The snapshot folder is at c:GESZifSnapshotFolder and the unc is \AfroditeSnapshot.
I'm getting a little desperate with this because we really need to propagate the schema changes around the subscribers.
Thanks in advance,
AVD

When doing a pull subscription where the schema is also replicated, the snapshot fails with the message " The process could not create the file
[machine name]D$MSSQL7ReplDataunc[Publisher Name]DateTable Name.sch
There is an OS Error Code of 5 saying Acces is denied.
The file mentioned above is created, so perhaps it fails trying to create a file for the next table.
Thanks for any light that you can shed!

Hi there all
I have a problem creating a pull merge subscription on a server that's outside of our firewall. All standard ports are blocked so MS UNC connections are not possible which SQL 2000 uses by default when creating a subscription. Equally FTP is out = insecure.
I found a procedure to that said create the snapshot of the publication, create a backup of the published database, restore that backup to the remote server as a subscription db and then sync using merge. Didn't work, failed (several times).
Can anyone enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong or indeed if I'm doing anything correctly!
I can create a remote desktop (Term Server) connection to the remote and another back to the publisher (from the subscriber's desktop) and both connections are using SSH tunnels. SQL Server uses a non standard port to communicate over the firewall. The remote server sits behind another firewall/router with port redirection to it's private address. Each server has the other registered and there are no comms problems and indeed there are other replicated dbs between them.
Both servers are win 2003 and the remote (subscriber) is R2 version, both with SQL 2000 Server Std patched up to SP3. (if this has any bearing on the solution which I presume there is)
Many thanks for listening and I hope a few of you can answer as well

Hello,
i am trying to create a pull subscription to my publication using T-SQL. The pull subcription is created successfully but the problem is that data is not merged correctly. I mean when i run the agent ( despite of having data in subscription / publication ) the data is not merged and i get "No Data Needed To Be Merged" message.
i run following sp in this sequence:
At Subscrber:
1 - sp_addmergepullsubscription
2 - sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent
At Publisher:
1 - sp_addmergesubscription
Again at subscriber :
Transaction for adding merge agent job.

As I understand replication in Sql2K the only difference in push or pull subscriptions is where the agent runs. If I wanted changes in the publisher to be sent to the subscribers immediately after the change then I thought push would be better. But, if I am equally interested in changes made at the subscriber then what should I use? Or does the agent monitor both the publisher and subscriber at the same time?

I have setup a pull subscription on the subscriber for transactional replication. The distribution job continues to run, but doesn't do anything because it says: The initial snapshot for publication 'man4' is not yet available.
How can I tell if the snapshot is running, and can I see the snapshot where it was created?

Say we need to replicate between 2 databases using transactional replication
So we create a publication on the first server and initialse the publication agent so that it takes a snapshot and starts the log reader to capture the transactions being keyed into it.
Then say we create a pull subscription from the second database but lets say we assume we already have the data from thepublication database already in it so no need to app,ly a snapshot over it, when the pull subscription starts we assume that only transactions in the log reader that occured AFTER the pull subscription was started would be applied. Is this correct?
Then say we need to stop the pull subscription for a short period then start it again (let say so that we can take a back up of the subscriber database and restore the database somewhere else and replication set up between these 2 with no chance of data being althered before the restore had finished) can someone confirm when we start the pull subscription again all the transactions that occurred during the stopped period will be applied when it is started again OR will it be the case that only the transactions since the pull subscription was restarted will be applied
Cheers

I am using RMO to synchronize an updateable transactional pull subscription from Sql Express SP2 to Sql Server 2005 64-bit Standard Edition. The data propogates from the server to the client, but changed data on the client does not replicate to the server. Any ideas?

Hi All,
Can push and pull subscriptions be configured on the publisher/distributer server?
We have server A running SQL Server 2000 configured as Publisher/Distributor and also a Push subscription (transactional replication) to Server B configured as Subscriber.
The idea was to have Server B as backup server if Server A goes down. Users will continue to update data in server B till server A is up.
Once server A is up, I want to synchronise the up-to-minuit date from Server B to Server A in the form of Transactional replication configured as "Pull Subscription" from Server A.
Is that possible?
Thanks

Hello,
I tried to use REPLMERG utility for Web synchronization and got the following error message in log file:
2007-03-23 14:35:10.484 The subscription to publication 'X' could not be verified. Ensure that all Merge Agent command line parameters are specified correctly and that the subscription is correctly configured. If the Publisher no longer has information about this subscription, drop and recreate the subscription.
The case description is as the following:
REPLMERG utility command line:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90COMREPLMERG.EXE" -ExchangeType 3 -Publication X -
Publisher B01 -Subscriber 127.0.0.1SQLEXPRESS -Distributor B01 -PublisherDB DBS -
SubscriberDB DBS -PublisherSecurityMode 1 -Output C:TempDBS.log -OutputVerboseLevel 2 -
SubscriberSecurityMode 0 -SubscriberLogin Operator -SubscriberPassword XXX -
SubscriptionType 2 -DistributorSecurityMode 1 -Validate 3 -InternetURL
https://www.company.com/Synch/replisapi.dll -InternetSecurityMode 0 -InternetLogin USER1 -
InternetPassword PWD1 -SubscriberType 0
The subscription to the publication X has been created with the following T-SQL script:
USE DBS
EXEC sp_addmergepullsubscription
@publisher = N'B01',
@publication = N'X',
@publisher_db = N'DBS',
@subscriber_type = N'anonymous',
@sync_type = N'automatic',
@subscription_priority = 0.0;
I've also tried to check subscription information on the server 127.0.0.1SQLEXPRESS using the following:
sp_helpsubscription_properties N'B01', N'DBS', N'X'
but the result set is empty. When I run sp_helpsubscription_properties
I get the same empty result. But the subcription is anonymous and when I synchronize it using RMO - it works.
Could you please advice what could cause the problem?
Thank you.
Alexander.

Hi
We have setup transactional replication between 2 databases on SQL Server 2000 SP3a (~70GB), using a concurrent snapshot (to prevent locking out of the live database) to initilaise the data and a pull subscription from the second database.
From analysing the msdistribution_history table in the distribution database on the subscriber it appears that the snapshot is being applied in a continuous loop to the subscriber database. Viewing the comments column in the msdistribution_history table we can see the following sequence of events occuring
Initialising
Applied script 'snapshot.pre'
Then it applies all the schema files .sch
Then it applies all the index files .idx
The it bulk copies the data in (bcp)
Then it creates the Primary Keys
Then it applies all the trigger files .trg
Then it applies all the referential integrity files .dri
These all complete successfully but then the process kicks off again immediately after reapplying the snapshot. We are unaware of any settings that may be causing this.
Any help on what maybe causing this would be much appreciated.

Hello.
Let me describe first my replication setup:
- SQL Server 2005 SP1 (SP2 coming soon)
- Approximately 35 remote users (Salesrep laptop) using Pull Subscriptions
- Merge (Bi-Directional) (8 articles - tables only)
- Merge (Uni-Directional) (5 articles - tables only)
- Transactional (5 articles - tables only)
Users receive data based on their territory #, therefore they receive their customers sets of data. It happens that customer change from one territory to another but not frequently. When it happens, so far so good, the data is redirected to the new salesrep using the model we configured (Territory table with SUSER_NAME() to filter the data).
Ok, here's my problem. Since a while, I can see in the replication monitor that some users seems to log the same conflict again and again (Merge process). I mean, checking the history for many subscribers, there is always the same number in the "Conflict" colums.
As an example:
- Merge completed after processing 18 data change(s) (4 insert(s), 14 update(s), 0 delete(s), 31 conflict(s))
- Merge completed after processing 27 data change(s) (10 insert(s), 17 update(s), 0 delete(s), 31 conflict(s))
- Merge completed after processing 20 data change(s) (5 insert(s), 15 update(s), 0 delete(s), 31 conflict(s))
and so on...(Those are only 3 historical entries for a single subscriptions but there are many like that, always with the same count of conflict - vary per user). It appears to me that the same conflicts come over and over.
The thing is that if I decide to reinitialize a subscription, conflicts will disappear, therefore I know that it is not a process on the server that keeps changing the data; anyway, even if it was, changes would be applied on the subscription because the server always win in my setup.
Any idea what should I do with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

We are running merge replication, SQL Server 2005 Enterprise with SQL Mobile 2005 (Windows Mobile 5) subscribers. Partitions are filtered on HOST_ID.
Ocassionally we experience a situation where a subscriber experiences an unusually long synchronization duration, and upon examining Replication Monitor, it appears that twice the number of rows, or X the number of rows (up to 7 times the number of rows) that should have been inserted are recorded as synchronized for the session: once the normal amount as inserts and once the normal amount as updates. This occurs for all tables in the subscription. This occurs on a first time synchronization to an empty subscriber database where there should be only inserts taking place.
I have examined the snapshot partition folders for these users on the file system and they appear to be identical in size and content as other subscribers. Checking the last partition snapshot job run and other characteristics for the the subscriber in question, everything appears to be the same as other subscribers functioning normally.
The HOST_ID for us is an employee ID used to filter employee specific data. I have seen this happen if the subscriber changes the value for the HOST_ID used in filtering, after the mobile database has already been populated (2 employees attempt to use the same mobile device and database). But, we have seen this happen recently where the HOST_ID was apparantly never changed midstream.
This just started happening recently. The only modification around the same time frame was the implementation of a custom business logic handler/custom conflict resolver that performs like "Latest Wins" but has logic added to update the a last-update datetime column for selected transaction tables at time of synchronization, so that an SSIS job can detect the changed rows for copying incremental database changes to another application database. This all seems to be working perfectly.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

Hiya,
Our current application which uses SQL 2000/CE uses a single Merge publication to populate numerous "read only" tables on the mobile device, and create the schema for a "transactions" table, which will be filled by the mobile device during work, then merged at sync.
Now, the master "transactions" table at the publisher has millions of rows, and the mobile device does not need any of them... so currently we have it "filtering" by a always false clause, so that none of the data is pushed to the client.
The problem with this is that we cannot archive any of the records in the transaction table, as doing so (say, removing 200k rows) would result in the mobile devices (of which there are about 15,000 active in the field) to attempt to reconcile each of those 200k rows when it is next synced, which takes way too long.
Now, what we would like to do is upgrade to SQL 2005/CE 2005, if the new features will allow us a PULL ONLY table in some way? I cannot find how to do this via the wizard, but am sure I am missing something. At least I hope so.
Can anyone give a suggestion?
Thanks!

I've successfully carried out pull subscription using Wizard in SQL server 2000.
But NOW its the time to deploy the project & I've to do it programatically........
i tried to use the default stored procedures like "sp_addmergepullsubscription ", "sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent ", "sp_reinitmergepullsubscription ", with respective parameters.
Then using replmerge.exe i tried to execute the batch file But could not succeed......
Can anyone guide me from the Basics ??? (i knw the Replication Architecture its heirarchy....but have NO idea of performing it Programatically......!!!!!!!!)
by BASICS, i mean......how should i execute the resp. stored procedures with what parametes & the order i should follow in order to successfully pull a merge subscription in SQL server 2000.
if a Sample code is mentioned as example, would be better for me to understand....
Thanking all of you in anticipation...........

I have created a Merge Subscription between two databases. I have set the security setting in the UNC folder of the publisher to allow 'Full Control' for 'Everyone'.
I have done various searches, google, here, etc. But cant seem to find much information to help me out.
When I create the subscription it says it was a success, but when I launch the replication monitor and click the publication it says its subscribers are uninitialized.
Can anyone help?

I am experiencing some replication problems. I have a test server with a test database which has been working just fine with some simple Merge Replication. That old server is now been targeted for decommissioning. I have moved the test database to another test server and have set everything conceivable up the same as it was on the prior server but I am experiencing errors that I have not been able to resolve. I am using the same Domain User account with the same privileges on both systems...
The first error I receive in my SQL Server error logs is:
Message
Error: 14151, Severity: 18, State: 1.
Rapidly followed by the following error message:
Message

From within the Replication Monitor I look into the subscription and I can see the following error message:

Hello everyone.
We've been using replication since a while now and I just discovered that some user are not getting all the data they should. Let me explain the way the whole thing is configured for us.
We have a few tables that are replicated using the Merge process with filtering on the data using SUSER_SNAME() function. My users are salesrep using Laptop and they are synchronizing on demand. The merge process is configured so that a row will go to only one subscription --> Each rep has their owns customers and related tables informations.
I noticed that some users do not have locally all data (from their customers) from some tables while they should. I didn't checked in details but it is possible that these users are new reps replacing other staff that left the company. Is it possible that the data they do not receive is marked as to be previous reps owner because the replication is set as "A row from this table will go to only one subscription" ? The new rep uses the same laptop, therefore the exactly same computer name, only the username changes.
Because of this, now I'm having a bunch of conflicts when replicating because we're generating some ID based on existing data when the user enter new records in some tables; since the data is not sitting locally for them, the ID generated is not the proper one and we now have two identical ID (one on the server and one locally) which cause the conflicts to occurs.
Any helps would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
is there a way to ensure a merge subscription is synchronised before it is removed from the publisher using SMO? - (it is a push subscription)
I thought I had it as there is a MergeSynchronizationAgent object on the SubscriptionDatabase object, but calling Synchronize() on this throws an exception saying it can't contact the publisher.
Any help would be really appreciated, thanks.
