Setting Up Replication On SQL Server 2000 Using Distributor Running On SQL Server 2005
Jul 6, 2006
Hi
I have a setup where I need to replicate the database which is actually subscribing from another database. The current setup is all in SQL Server 2000. I need to now setup a Distrbutor on a SQL server 2005 and publish the database using this distributor to another server on SQL server 2000.
Has anybody done this before. If yes what will I need to check. Can you please let me know :-
1) SQL Server 2000 which SP should be installed to support this enviroment.
2) SQL Server 2005 which SP should be installed to support this environment.
3) Any thing that I need to look out for.
Thanks for any inputs on this.
Regards

Hello,
Are there any requirements that dictate the SQL Server version for the distribution agent for a SQL 2000 publisher with a transactional push subscription to a SQL 2005 subscriber?
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi there
im trying to set up a replication from a local server to a remote server.
when starting up and selecting the Distribution / publisher, i get the following errors --->

Im trying to setup replication between two 2005 standard editions. They are on the same LAN and installed equally + SP1. They are installed as named instances (with the same instance name MSSQL01). Remote access is allowed and TCP/IP and shared memory and I can connect between them.
SQL1MSSQL01 is configured as the publisher & distributor and the snapshot is done. When Im using the subscriber wizard from SQL1 to create the subscriptions and add SQL2MSSQL01 as a subscriber the connection fails to the remote server.
The error message is:
TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to SQL2MSSQL01.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Failed to connect to server SQL2MSSQL01. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
When I do a manual connection to SQL2 using the server managemnet studio on SQL1 I cannot connect using the instance name e.g. SQL2MSSQL01, it works only when only using the server name e.g. SQL2. Then I have full access both when using a windows or SQL user.
When trying with using the server name only when setting up the subscription, I got a error saying that I need to use the full name.
TITLE: Connect to Server

Cannot connect to TFMHQARNDE07.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
SQL Server replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, ' SQL2MSSQL01'. (Replication.Utilities)
I can also mention that theese servers are cloned from another server and I needed to drop the old servername and add the new servername (sp_addserver) on both servers to get the publisher to work.
When I try to setup the subscription from SQL2 and add SQL1 as a publisher I get the same error.
Any one have any idea what it can be?

Where can I further educate myself on this subject?
Right off from the start I would assume that installing SQL Server 2000 or 2005 on Windows Server 2003 that is set up as a web server hosting a website would be against "best practices." Is my assumption right?
Common sense tells me to not to host a website on a pc that is also hosting my database.

We have a setup with one Publisher Server and 15 Subscribers with merge replication configured for all subscribers. The current Database size is approximately 3 GB expected to grow to 10 GB in next 1 year. We wanted to know what benefits would we incur if we add an additional seperate distributor server (hardware box). Also, what is the approx. size of a database where a seperate distributor server (hardware box) is recommended.
Thanks in advance

Can I run an instance of SQL Server 2000 in SQL Server 2005?
I was planning on restoring a backup of my SQL Server 2000 db to SS 2005, but keep the SS 2000 configuration. The main reason for doing so is to maintain the DTS packages I have in SS 2000 because my understanding is that these are not easily duplicated in SS 2005 Integration Services.
Thanks-Dave

I'm running 2000 databases in a 2005 server. Can anyone tell me if there are adverse effects in doing this?
As I understand it, the 2005 performance benefits are available to databases running as 2000(Ver80) But some of the new futures may not be available..
And any documentation from Microsoft/white papapers regarding this subjects are appreciated..

I am trying to test simple replication (only tables) of a database that resides on a SQL Server 2005 instance to a SQL Server 2000 instance. The Publisher and Distributer are set up on the SQL Server 2005 instance for Transactional replication. The subscriber is set up on in the 2000 instance. Replication Monitor shows the following error after applying a few scripts:
"Category: SQLSERVER Source SQLSERVER2000 Number: 170 Message: Line 6: Incorrect syntax near
'max'."
Here SQLSERVER2000 is the name of my 2000 instance, as should be obvious.
Beyond this point, replication fails. Any pointers as to where the problem could lie? Is this a known backward compatibility issue? I've checked all tables in the database and none contain any datatype that is new to 2005 (the database was actually created in and for SQL Server 2000.
Replication from 2000 to 2005 works fine, but the other way round is failing as described above. Any clues?

The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server.
There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'.
I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated
Thanks...

Hi All,
Currently we use SQL 2K SP4 and snapshot replication with a Central Publisher with Remote Distributor toplogy.
I am looking to upgrade or migrate our SQL servers to SQL 2005 and was wondering what is the best way to do this for our replicated architecture?
Is the best way to run the SQL 2005 Upgrade on all 3 servers (publisher, distributor, subscriber) and should it automatically upgrade the servers including the replication components? Is there anything i should consider/watch out for when doing the upgrade and it involves replication (namely snapshot replication)?
Thanks in advance.

I want to replicate data from sql server 2000 to a sql server express 2005 box.
I can dts data across..but I want to be able to set up push replication from the Sql Server 2000 box, but the option to push the data to the Sql Express server in the GUI does not come up only Sql Server 2000 boxes are listed. Initially I will be using Snapshot replication but would like to eventually move on to transactional rep if only I can get it to push the data across.
Does anyone know how to acheive this thanks for any help Sammy.

Hi - hoping some folks here can help me. I've got a SQL 2000, Service Pack 4 database that I need to publish, but I'm getting the following error on the exec sp_addpublication statement when I try to set up publication in Management Studio:
Msg 8526, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_addpublication, Line 802
Cannot go remote while the session is enlisted in a distributed transaction that has an active savepoint.
I also tried to set up the Publisher in Enterprise Studio, on the theory that the system sproc was not backwards compatible, and there I got this error:
Error 627: Cannot use SAVE TRANSACTION within a distributed transaction
There is one proc in the publisher's database that uses SAVE TRANSACTION, but it isn't currently being run and it isn't dependent on the table being published. Has anybody else encountered this? Any ideas about how to make this go away?

Arghh ...
I have searched all the newsgroups and applied or tried all the suggestions, with no success. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled SQL 2005.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Here is the error I receive when I try to 'Configure Distribution' in the SQL 2005 management studio.
Any/all help is greatly appreciated.

PS. The destination path mentioned in the error is definitely a correct path.

hi,
Im I want to configure my sqlserver 2005 server as both subscriber and distributor for transactional replication purposes.
I want to configure the sql server 2000 as the publisher.
When I try to configure the publisher in the sql 2000 server, Im not being able to establish the connection with the distributor 2005 sql server in any of the 2 possible cases.
case1-Using windows authentication- message:need to use management studio or SMO
case2-Using sql server authentication-message:authentication failed
Question:
Is it possible at all to do this? or should I make the distributor to reside in a sql 2000 server?
thank you

We have a SQL 2000 Server (publisher & distributor) with around 15 databases being replicated (all using merge replication).
My question is the following:
Is it possible to perform Merge replication from a SQL 2000 (acting as the publisher & distributor) to a SQL 2005 server acting as the Subscriber)?
If anyone has a link to any instructions somewhere that would be great.

I have one standby server that I use for multiple production DB SQL Server 2000 servers. We are upgrading one of the production SQL Servers to 2005. I will install 2005 on my standby and run 2000 and 2005 side by side.
Is this okay? Are there any caveats specific to running 2000 and 2005 on the same standby server?

We have two SQL Server 2005 production DB at remote sites. Due to network bandwidth issue, we need to replicate these DBs (publishers and distributers) to central corporate SQL 2000 DB (subscriber for backup and possible reporting (and in rare case as a failover server).
We would start out with backup from SQL 2000 db restored on remote SQL 2005 DBs. When we have DB issue on remote 2005 DB, we want to restore it from central corp. 2000 DB backup. Since two DBs are replicating to central DB, we DO NOT want combined db back up data on restored remote 2005 db. We can restore the db and delete unwanted data before we turn on replication from this restored server. So, this is not a problem.
The real problem is how to avoid snapshot replication (during initialization) when we create a transaction replication on this restored server to avoid over writing data on the central subcriber sql 2000 DB???
HELP!!

I have a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise server which I need to set up as a linked server in SQL Server 2005. The Sybase server is version 12.5.2, and the Sybase ODBC driver version is 4.20.00.67. I have already installed the Sybase client software on the server.
I also created a SystemDSN on the SQL Server to connect to the Sybase server. I tested the connection and it was able to connect.
I ran the following code to create the linked server:
<code>
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'LinkedServerName', @srvproduct=N'Sybase', @provider=N'MSDASQL', @datasrc=N'Sybase System DSN', @provstr=N'"Provider=Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider;Server Name=servername,5000;Initial Catalog=databasename;User Id=username;Password=password"'
</code>
I then ran sp_tables_ex to make sure I could view the tables in the Sybase database. Here is the error message I get:
<code>
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "LinkedServerName" returned message "[DataDirect][ODBC Sybase Wire Protocol driver]Error parsing connect string at offset 13. ".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 41
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "LinkedServerName".
</code>
Any ideas what is happening here?

I have created a publication on SQL 2014 SP1/CU1 it is going to a distribution server also a SQL 2014 database. The subscriber is also SQL 2014 SP1/CU1. When I set it up there are no errors. I fire up Replication MGR and it looks good after the snapshot and distribution agent have been started. Again, no errors. When I do a tracer token the information gets to the distributer in 1 - 4 seconds but it never gets to the subscriber, the tracer token monitoring screen only shows pending for distributor to subscriber.
I can upload the scripts used to create the publication and/or the subscription but am a little hesitant because of server names in the scripts.

Iam not sure why Iam not able to successfully set up sql mail. here are the steps I follow:
1. I Created a user account and password to be used for sql server and sql agent as a service account.( Domain Namesqlservice )
2. Logged off window 2000 then log in with the same account I created in step one.
3. double clicked mail icon in control panel to set up a mail account by specifying the following:
pop :pop.erols.com
smtp: smtp.erols.com
I choose POP instead of IMAP to set up the mail account
4.tested the account by opening Outlook and was able to send and recieve mail via Outlook.
So far so good
I assume that I have already (a)created a service account to be used for sql server and sql agen mail account (b) created a mail account (c)tested the mail.
5. I opened sql server and clicked on the mail in the management console to test the sql mail by typing the same mail account in the text box, then clicking test.... I got an error message the MAPI is not set up and it is not connecting to any profile.
another error I got was Error :xp_mapi profile : failed with mail error 0x80040106
Here are some questions that I am not sure about.
Q1. Do I need to set up smtp service in service tab to use same account as sql server/ sql agent. It is using local system account now
Q2. the above steps are correct, I guess so, so what is the reason not being able to set up the mail profile to be used by sql server mail
Thanks for your help

Hi Everyone,Apparently, I was being asked on a question, "Why don't we procure adesktop PC to run MS SQL Server 2000 rather than a buying a server?".From a Management point-of-view, buying a desktop PC is much cheaperthan a server. However, I just wanted to understand that is it aviable solution given the database size is something around 200 GB?Equipping with more memory, more storage and a more powerful CPU on adesktop PC could really taking up the role to support the DBMS?Besides this "sensitive" costing concerns, what will be othersdifference in running the SQL Server 2000 on the two differenthardware architecture? For example, IO rate, reliability, RAID-1support, performance, … etc.(Note: The operating system is Microsoft Windows 2000 EnterpriseEdition)Regards,Ambrose

I am trying to migrate from my current system, where I do merge replication from Windows Mobile devices running SQL Server CE 2.0 to a central database running SQL Server 2000 sp3a. I want eventually to move to a system running SQL Server 2005 CE replicating to a SQL Server 2005 back-end. But the transition will need to be gradual, and I may have to support both systems for a while until I can convert all clients from the old system to the new. I also need to do thorough testing.
So ... I'm trying to set up a test environment giving me the maximum possible flexibility to do my testing. Ideally, I'd like to set up SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 on a side-by-side basis, in a manner that would potentially allow mobile devices running both SQL Server CE 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 CE to sync with either back-end server.
Can someone provide me with guidance as what is possible to set up here? I know that SQL Server 2000 and 2005 can be installed side-by-side on the same server. It also appears that you can set up SQL Server 2000 so that EITHER SQL Server CE 2.0 OR SQL Server 2005 CE can sync with SQL Server 2000 (see www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/sqlmobile/connectivity-tools.mspx), but I don't know if it's possible for BOTH SQL Server CE 2.0 AND SQL Server 2005 CE to sync to the same SQL Server 2000. As for SQL Server 2005 ... it appears to be possible to set up SQL Server 2005 so that BOTH SQL Server CE 2.0 devices AND SQL Server 2005 CE devices can sync to the same SQL Server 2005 (see web page cited above). However, I don't know if it's possible to set up a SQL Server 2005 server installation in this manner while at the same time having a side-by-side SQL Server 2000 installation supporting any level of mobile merge replication.
HELP!!!!
