Trying to set up replication between two machines (Developer Edition) and receiving an unitialized pull subscription. Error message states the publisher cannot be accessed with an agent message of 20084.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi,
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have occasional problems with transactional replication between 2 databases, and the problem is we dont notice right away. Usually the customer notices a few days after replication has stopped, and thats no good. We want to be notified as soon as there is any problem related to replication so we can go in and figure it out.
Ive been playing with the alerts, and it LOOKS like I should be able to do what I want, but after several hours I still cannot make any of the alerts work.
In my test environment, I'm forcing the following error, in order to try and test an alert: error 20598 "The row was not found at the Subscriber when applying the replicated command."
This seems to be one of our more common errors, and also its really easy to produce, so it seemed like a good candidate for testing the alert.
First off, I noticed that the agent profile was set to "Continue on data consistancy errors", which ignores error 20598. So I changed the profile to "Default", which doesnt skip any errors.
Next I set up a simple Job that simply writes a string to a file. I tested the job by calling it manually and it works. Once i can prove that this job is actually being called, I will change it to email me and the team.
Then I created a new alert in the publisher database which watches for error code 20598. Its response is to call the job I mentioned above. So when the error occurs, a string should be written to that file.
Then I forced the 20598 error to occur. I deleted a row in the subscriber DB, and then changed the corresponding row in the publisher. This causes the error to occur. In my replication monitor, I see new entries saying "Skipped 1 error(s) when applying transactions at the Subscriber." I'm not sure why it says skipped, but I know that these entries are the 20598 error that I'm trying to produce.
Now, there was nothing written to my text file, and I can see from the job history that my job was never called. If I look at the history of my test alert, it says "never occured".
I forced the 20598 error to occur, and I have an alert that is watching for the 20598 error, but it never fires.
I also created an alert in the subscriber database, watching for the same error. This alert was not called either.
Hello,
I am trying to setup merge replication for a sqlmobile database. I was able to set it up on a test environment which the sql instance and the iis were on the same box. I am trying now to go live. Our sql instance is on another box than the iis. I am now getting a 404 error when trying to test in the url https://www.domain.com/sqlmobile/sqlcesa30.dll?diag Is there a walk through for iis running on a different box, or does someone know of a solution?

Hi!
I have a WM5 device with Sql Server CE 3.0 and Sql Server 2005 on the serverside. I set up RDA and it works fine until I try do pull a little more advanced query. Instead of pulling a simple table with where clause I created a query that joined two tables returning values from only one. It doesn't seem to be possible, is it? If it's not, is it someway I work around this?

I am using the Configure Publishing and Distribution Wizard in the SQL Server Enterprise Manager to configure a server as a Distribution and Publishing server. The security configuration on the server in question for authentication is SQL Server and Windows NT.
When I get to the first page in the wizard I select that I want to use the server as the Distributor. The other option is to use another server for the Distribution server - and this isn't what I want to do. The next page presents the option to use the default settings to configure the distribution databases or to configure the setup. If I select the default options I get the following error message when the arrow is pointing to Configuring Distributor:
----------------------------------------------
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not configure 'SERVER1' as the Distributor for
'SERVER1'.
Error 18456: Login failed for user 'sa'.
Remote logins for remote server 'repl_distributor' have been dropped.
Server dropped.
Server added.
Server network name set.
----------------------------------------------
Something I have tried to change in order to fix this issue is the 'Replication agents on the Distributor log into the Publisher:' option from its default (By impersontating the SQL Agent account on 'SERVER1' (trusted connection)) to 'Using SQL Server Authentication of this account:', and in those fields I have put in 'sa' (which is a valid admin account to the SQL server) and the correct password.
In all cases I get the message above. Can anyone help me to see what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for your time,

Hi I have a problem. I have a replicated database. Now I have a couple of tables within the database where I delete the content row by row and caluted the new record and insert them. Now when I do this on the development system that is unreplicate it is fine. However on production that is replicated I get this error:
System.Web.HttpUnhandledException: Exception of type System.Web.HttpUnhandledException was thrown. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_VARLISTS_USERVARLISTS'. The conflict occurred in database 'BHP', table 'USERVARLISTS', column 'AutoID'.
INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_VARLISTS_USERVARLISTS'. The conflict occurred in database 'BHP', table 'USERVARLISTS', column 'AutoID'.
INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_VARLISTS_USERVARLISTS'. The conflict occurred in database 'BHP', table 'USERVARLISTS', column 'AutoID'.
Now I persume this is caused by the foreign key being contrained by the replicated database. I had though about unticking the box 'Enforce Relationship for replication' but I am not sure what problems this may cause.
Woudl this fix my problem? If not do you have any idea what would.
Thanks Ed
A user inadvertantly deleted a record in a table that maintains an identity seed. I attempted to insert the record using SET IDENTITY_INSERT ON, but forgot that this table is an article in merge replication. I am attempting the insert on the publisher and I get the following message:
Msg 548, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
The insert failed. It conflicted with an identity range check constraint in database 'cad', replicated table 'dbo.emmain', column 'empl_id'. If the identity column is automatically managed by replication, update the range as follows: for the Publisher, execute sp_adjustpublisheridentityrange; for the Subscriber, run the Distribution Agent or the Merge Agent.
The statement has been terminated.
How can I re-insert this record??Thanks in advance for any help
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)

(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.

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?
Hi,
I am trying to set up Web Synchronization using Merge Replication. The Distributor and Publisher are on the same machine. Subscriber is a windows mobile application which syncs the data using web synchronization. I have configured IIS on web server for the sync. However there is no domain user on database and web server. Is it possible set up web sync without a domain user? Which user can I then use to give permissions on the snapshot share folder.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
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.
Hi All;
I am trying to set up Merge Replication on a database and want to set the IdentityRange Management to Auto for all my tables which use a Identity column.
In the wizard, on Article Properties Page, I can do this by selecting a Table, and going for its properties, but this is a tedious task as I have ~300 tables to set this property on.
Is there another way or a global location where I can set the property to true and even mention the ranges and the threshold, so that I dont have to pick each table and set it individually.
I am also aware of the fact that I can Generate a Script and modify it and run that, but I was looking for some way to do this in the wizard.
Thanks!
Hello.I am trying to use Transact SQL to prepare publication for replication (SQL Server 2000 SP4 and SQL Mobile). I can easily create publication, add filters etc. but there is one thing which I can't find : parameter which tells me subscriber type and allow me to change subscriber type for publication. I don't know where I can change (or even if I can change) this property.
If someone made publication for mobile devices and replication with filters,resolvers etc. will it be a problem to share experiences here? Maybe some sample code with script or something what will guide me. Thanks in advance. Maciej Wysocki
Replicate ddl setting is not working if multiple subscribers are used...
View 2 Replies View RelatedSetting up Transaction Replication in test environment. I am willing to bet that most of you take a production backup (if so, how, and using what?), restoring the database to your test environment, then running a snapshot to your subscriber and away you go.
But perhaps you take a backup of your publisher and subscriber, if so, how do you know there are no inconsistences because there were transactions sitting on the distributor?
What do you do if you have additional indexes on the subscriber for reporting, that are not on the publisher?
Here at work we are having issues with getting consistent databases set up with T Rep, missing rows, duplicate keys at subscriber etc. How to avoid these issues.
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.

In my ASP.NET app, I'm executing a stored procedure via a SQLCommand the searches a customer database. I believe the default timeout is 90 seconds. I'm curious of what happens to the SQL Server Stored Procedure after timing out from the ASP.NET application. Does it timeout at the same time or do you have to set up a value in SQL Server?

Hello,
I have this problem on a Production database.
DBCC OPENTRAN shows "REPLICATION" on a server that is not configured for replication. The transaction log is almost as large as the database (40GB) with a Simple recovery model. I would like to find out how the log can be truncated in such a situation.
Thank you.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a VB.net app that access a SQL Express database. I have transactional repliaction set up on a SQL 2000 database (the publisher) and a pull subscription from the VB.net app. I use RMO in the VB app to connect to the publisher. My problem is I am getting some strange behaviour as follows
- if I run the app and invoke the pull subscription it works fine. If I then close my app and go back in, I can access my data without any problem
- If I run the app and try to access data in my SQL Express database it works fine. I can then close the app, reopen it and run the pull subscription it works fine
however.......
- if I run the app, invoke the pull subscription (which runs fine), and then try to access data in my local SQL Express database without firstly closing and reopening the app, I get a login error
- if I run the app, try to access data in my local SQL Express database (which works fine), and then try to run the pull subscription I get a "the process cannot acces the file as it is being used by another process" error. In this case I need to restart the SQL Express service to be able to run replication again.
I get exactly the same behaviour when I use the Windows Sync tool (with my app open at the same time) instead of my RMO code to replicate the data.
I am using standard ADO.Net 2 code to access my SQL Express data in the app and closing all connections etc
Any advice appreciated !

Hi all,
I have recently setup a transactional replication in MS SQL 2000. After setting up the replication the clients TempDB grew by almost 60GB. Now the client is Blaming me for the TempDB GROWTH and saying that its because of the replication being setup i tried to convince them but they are not satisfied yet. Can anybody please tell me does replication cause the tempdb to grow. If yes then how. can u suggest any good link for getting to know the internal working of SQL Server replication????
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I know that adding a column using ALTER TABLE to add a column automatically allows SQLSERVER 2005 to replicate the schema changes to the subscribers, however, I would like to add a new column to an existing article that is being used for merge replication, however, I don't want this column to be replicated. Re-initialising the subscriptions is not a option. Help would be appreciated.
I am using SQLSERVER 2005 (SP1).
I have been researching on the proper steps or sequence to follow to completely remove SQL Server 2012 Transactional Replication. Â I have read articles about using SSMS as well as using replication stored procedures and some procedures use SQLCMD or just regular TSQL executed in SSMS. Â I have also read articles where people said all you really need is connect to the Publisher instance, find the publication you want to remove and choose "Delete" and everything will be taken care of behind the scene. I have three SQL servers that participate in transactional replication. Â SQL-P (publisher),Â
SQL-D (distributor) and SQL-S (subscriber). Â Do I need to connect to the distributor instance and the subscriber instance when removing transactional replication or is it just really connecting to the publisher and click delete on the publication? I want everything gone including any metadata, systems tables, distributions db and any other replication objects created during the initial configuration.
Hello everyone,I am involved in a scenario where there is a huge (SQL Server 2005)production database containing tables that are updated multiple timesper second. End-user reports need to be generated against the data inthis database, and so the powers-that-be came to the conclusion that areporting database is necessary in order to offload report processingfrom production; of course, this means that data will have to bereplicated to the reporting database. However, we do not need all ofthe data in the production database, and perhaps a filtering criteriacan be established where only certain rows are replicated over to thereporting database as they're inserted (and possibly updated/deleted).The current though process is that the programmers designing thequeries/reports will know exactly what data they need from productionand be able to modify the replication criteria as needed. For example,programmer A might write a report where the data he needs can beexpressed in a simple replication criteria for table T where column X= "WOOD" and column Y = "MAHOGANY". Programmer B might come along amonth later and write a report whose relies on the same table T wherecolumn X = "METAL" and column Z in (12, 24, 36). Programmer B willhave to modify Programmer A's replication criteria in such a way as toaccomodate both reports, in this case something like "Copy rows fromtable T where (col X = "WOOD" and col Y = "MAHOGANY") or (col X ="METAL" and col Z in (12, 24, 36))". The example I gave is reallytrivial of course but is sufficient to give you an idea of what thecurrent thought-process is.I assume that this is a requirement that many of you may haveencountered in the past and I am wondering what solutions you wereable to come up with. Personally, I believe that the above method isprone to error (in this case the use of triggers to specifyreplication criteria) and I'd much rather use replication services tocopy tables in their entirety. However, this does not seem to be anoption in my case due to the sheer size of certain tables. Is thereanything out there that performs replication based on complexprogrammer defined criteria? Are triggers a viable alternative? Anyalternative out-of-the-box solutions?Any feedback would be appreciated.Regards!Anthony

If you have a SQL server setup that isn’t using a SAN but just a normal raid array and you wanted to utilize a SAN now.
What are the steps, I'm guessing that you will need to start the services under a domain user correct?
Is it as easy as detaching the DB and then reattaching the DB on the SAN?
I'm assuming you need to map the data and log arrays from the server to the SAN correct?
I can’t seem to find any documentation on moving a server to a new SAN. Can someone post links if you have them?
Do you need ENT edition or is Standard OK .
Thanks for your help.
Hi
I'm trying to set up a new job to update a field in the table, I've managed to get the select syntax to work, but when I added an IF statement and Update syntax it didn't like it and the following error was shown:-
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 9
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'BEGIN'.
This is the syntax I'm trying to use for the job:-
USE EmployerEngagement
IF (SELECT On_Stop
FROM tblEmployer LEFT OUTER JOIN tblWP_Details
ON tblEmployer.Emp_ID = tblWP_Details.Emp_ID LEFT OUTER JOIN tblVetting
ON tblWP_Details.Record_ID = tblVetting.Record_ID
WHERE tblEmployer.On_Stop = 0
AND tblVetting.Next_Vett_Date <= GETDATE())
BEGIN
UPDATE tblEmployer
SET On_Stop = 1
END
Basically I just want to change the On_Stop value from 0 to 1 if the Next_Vett_Date is before or on todays date.
Am I using the wrong syntax for this?
Thanks
