The database has another publication, that was created prior to upgrade to sql server 2005 from sql server 2000 sp4. This publication is working ok, and there are no problems when running the snapshot agent for this publication.
The publications are using filtered articles, and all properties for the publications are the same.
Any help to solve this problem will be much apreciated.
Snapshot Agent Error: String Or Binary Data Would Be Truncated
Feb 5, 2007I'm creating a publication with a complex filter joining many tables, for replication between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Mobile 2005. Is there a limit on the number of articles, or depth of joins, in the filter? I have a working replication, but when I add another article joined to tables already in there, the snapshot agent status window gives me this error:
String or binary data would be truncated.
Cannot find the object 'MSmerge_ctsv_2C675AF5938E4EA1B7D0DCFF9ECAD9EB', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
sp_MS_marksystemobject: Invalid object name '[dbo].[MSmerge_upd_2C675AF5938E4EA1B7
The MSmerge_ctsv... system view being referred to DOES in fact exist. But I wonder if there's an internal varchar variable used to hold the join criteria which is too short for what I'm trying to do.
Any help is always appreciated!

I noticed that my snapshot agent never got moving at all and has been failing. It keeps on generating errors in the System Log with every retry...
The server {08B0B2D9-3FB3-11D3-A4DE-00C04F610189} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
and this

Any help is appreciated.

Snapshot Agent Cannot Start Server Execution Failed
May 22, 2006Hello, I've configured SQL Server 2000 for merge replication and am trying to start the snapshot agent for the publication and after about 20 minutes of it trying to start, it gives up with this error.
Server execution failed
There is no more information in the event viewer. I've tried it with a bunch of different subscriptions. SQL Server and SQL Agent are running under a local account which has access to the replcation data directory. SQL Agent is running.
I'm Running SQL 2000 SP3.
Thanks

Dynamic Snapshot Agent Error
Feb 17, 2006I am setting up a large number of Push subscribers to a single publication. because of the large number of subscribers, I am not doing the merge with agent jobs, but with SQL RMO. All works well, but from time to time I am getting a funny error when I add a event handler to the snapshotagent, to return the messages, if some feedback to the screen on how the process is getting along.
The error also happen when the process is al most done. Basically when I am not compiling in this line, then NO error.
//Add the Event Handler to receive the Status changes
DynamicSnapshotAgent.Status += AgentEvent;
But once I started getting the error, then it would not go away, sometimes if the publication & subscribers is recreated it goes away but not always, first do not use the event anymore, and at some stage I can put is back after a few succesful dynamic snapshot, then I can enable the event and it will work again........
Any help welkom
Regards
Gertus

Snapshot Agent Gives Error: Line38: Syntax Error Near 'tabl'
Oct 1, 2005Hi all,
View 4 Replies View RelatedSnapshot Agent Fails On Table With XML Datatype : Script Failed For Table 'dbo.TableName'
Sep 11, 2007SQL Server 2005 SP2 Error: Script failed for Table 'dbo.TableName'
I keep getting this error when trying to generate a snapshot for transact replication.
Here is the publishing table schema:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[viMediaPlaylist](
[MemberID] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[xmlPlaylist] [xml](CONTENT [dbo].[viMediaPlaylistCollectionSchema]) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[MemberID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 90) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
I tried the following:
#1)Create table schema at the subscriber manually, and change package to Keep object as is. Got the same error during snapshot.
#2Filtered replication to NOT include XML column. This worked, and no error was generated, replication was up and running.
So my question is, what is the problem with XML column being replicated?
Any ideas how i can make this work? At this point i'm not sure what the problem is with the xml column, but it seems like ti tries to run schema script, but i'm not asking it to create the schema i already did it myself. Thanks!

Snapshot Agent Failed From Time To Time
Sep 15, 2000Hello !
I just encountered a problem with snapshot replication or, if more detailed, with snapshot agent.
My environment consist of W2K Server (sp1) and SQL Server 7.0 (sp2)
The issue is when I create publication and then start snapshot agent for initial creation of schema and articles, it fail with the error:
"An exception occurred in the Snapshot subsystem. The step failed."
Event Log registers this error with the following message:
-------------------
"Step 2 of job --- () has caused an exception in the Snapshot subsystem and has been terminated"
-------------------
the step 2 in REPL-Snapshot job is "Run Agent"
Once more detail. The metter is that this occurs not consistently but from time to time. Some publications succeed in snapshot process but others don't. And else, if I want to manually run snapshot agent for the second time after successful completion for the first, I get the same error.
Any idea?????
Thanks in advance

Snapshot For Merge Replication Error: Discover Dependencies Failed
Mar 1, 2006I'm converting an existing production replication process to SQL 2005 for testing. My snapshot for a merge replication is failing.
Environment: Single XP server, no filters, @schema_option = 0x000000000C034DD1
I have several snapshot jobs in my process, 2 for transactional replication and 2 for merge replications. In both types, I'm replicating from A to B and then from B to C. In the failing job, I'm merge replicating from B to C. In this failing snapshot job, the error messages are:

Snapshot Agent && Log Reader Agent Will Not Start.
Nov 30, 2006Hi All,
I would appreciate any help here at all. I am pulling my hair out!
I am unable to start the snapshot agent or log reader agent from within SQL management studio. it fails on executing step 2 with unknown username or bad password.
I have checked all account details and they are correctly using my domain admin account. I can connect to SQL using teh same account and it also has sysadmin permissions.
If i copy the step 2 paramters and start from the cmd prompt (again logged in using the same domain account) they both start fine.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Cannot Start Log Reader Agent And Snapshot Agent
May 18, 2007I am testing peer to peer replication in our environment. I simulated a three node peer to peer topology and a local distributor.
For some wierd reason I cannot get the Log Reader Agent and snapshot agent to start. The domain account under which SQL Server Agent runs has administrator previlage on the box. I also use a domain account for SQL Server Service. (none of the passwords changed).
This is the error I am getting - "Executed as user: abc. A required privilege is not held by the client. The step failed"
Any ideas???
Also this domain account is a member of
SQLServer2005MSSQLUsers$ServerName$MSSQLSERVER
SQLServer2005MSAgentUser$ServerName$MSSQLSERVER
Bizzare Error - All Back-up Agent Jobs Failed With Unsual Error!
Jan 29, 2008I have a really odd one here. We have a production server which is running SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition SP3. It has a number of databases which are backed up nightly. Last night all of the back-up jobs failed with the following error: -
Msg 913, Sev 16: Could not find database ID ##. Database may not be activated yet or may be in transition. [SQLSTATE 42000]
The databases are in good shape - no issues to report. When I run the Agent Job code within a Query Analyser session it works fine.
When I try and re-start the back-up from the Agent Job it continues to fail with the same error.
Any ideas?

Sep 11, 2007Hi All,
I'm facing a strange problem..
I've developed few reports. they are working fine in develop environment. after successfull testing they were published on web.
in web version, all reports are executing for first time.. if I change any of parameters values or without chaning also..
if I press "View Report" following error occurs..
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for data set 'dsMLGDB2Odbc'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
please suggest any alternative ways to overcome this issue
thanks in adv.
Error - Distribution Agent Failed To Create Temporary Files
Sep 17, 2014I've been using replication for a long while now but have never come across this error. It's a basic transactional replication from ServerA to ServerB, where ServerA is also the distributor. Everything had been running fine on it until yesterday, when this error started popping up and no further transactions could be delivered.
After some quick googling I was able to determine that the distribution agent account needed write access to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100Com. According to the MSFT article it's because the distribution agent is running under a non-default profile. I didn't change this. However, what I did change around the time that these errors started occurring was the server's Replication Max Test Size setting. It would be far too coincidental for this to not be the cause, but what I don't understand is *why* that would have changed it.
how do I change this? It is definitely not preferable to create temp files in this directory in our environment.
Query Execution Failed For Data Set &&<name&&> For More Information About This Error Navigate To The Report Server On The Local Serv
Jul 10, 2007I have created and deployed my first report. It renders fine for me and the other database admin. When others attempt to view it, we get the error
Query execution failed for data set 'periods'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand), For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
Initially, We created a local group on the machine that hosts both the database and webserver and added the individuals to that group. Then, within SRS Report manager, we added that group to the Browswer role of the report.
The error message was slightly different, in that it couldn't even open the Datasource.
We then added an individual to the database as dbreader, and got the above message. It apprently is starting to render, and when it encounters the first query (dataset "periods", which populates a drop down list for a parameter), it chokes. BTW, the Periods dataset executes a stored procedure dbo.Period_List that has no parameters. It returns a list of reporting periods.
I could not figure out how to "enable remote errors" or find an error log on the server. The C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesLogFiles Log files did not appear to record any errors.
Please advise!

I am using Windows Server 2003 RT, and SQL Server 2005.
When Replication is performed with SQL Server Mobile. All 3 taskes i.e. Publisher creation, Article Publish, Snapshot agen starting. All are ok.
However after replication is done when checking the Status of the Snapshot Agent it is not Running, and I cannot make it Run as well.
Please advice me as to what could possibily be wrong with it, what can I do.

Questions About Snapshot Agent
Jun 22, 2006Hi, I was wondering if changing the schedule of the snapshot agent will do any effect the unc/snapshot files ? I'm now doing merge replication and i am applying snapshot from alternate location. If i change the schedule do i need to re run the snapshot agent ? I'm afraid that the current snapshot will be expired..

Mar 11, 2008Hi guys,
I'm trying to set up merge replication between a SQL Server 2000 SP4 / Win2k box and a MSDE SP4/WinXP box and I'm finding that the initial snapshot isn't being produced.
The SQL Agent runs as a windows user that has admin privileges, the snapshot agent impersonates the SQL Agent. The SQL Server login for the agent account has the server role "System Administrators" and database access to all db's.
When I turn on logging and try to start the agent, the following is written to the log:
Microsoft SQL Server Snapshot Agent 8.00.760
Copyright (c) 2000 Microsoft Corporation
Microsoft SQL Server Replication Agent: SVRName-POS-POS_Test_Suburb-1
Connecting to Distributor 'SVRName'
SourceTypeId = 5
SourceName = SVRName
ErrorCode = 18456
ErrorText = Login failed for user 'SVRNameSQLAgent'.
The process could not connect to Distributor 'SVRName'.
Most of the posts I've seen regarding problems like this are due to subscriber authentication issues (not up to that, this is the initial snapshot) or windows/domain user permissions.
Any ideas what else it might be?

Jun 15, 2007Hi am trying to create a snapshot (Merge replication) - My database is approx 6GB and one of my tables has 14.5M records - I have a total of 1500 articles to replicate.
When I start creating the snapshot - it seems to just stop on the Table that has the 14.5M records. When I delete all the data in that table it works fine. I have also check disk space and also the log files and tempdb size and all seem ok.
I am using SQL 2005 with the latest SP
Is there any form of verbose logging that I could enable to let me see what is going on
Any help would be greatly appreciated

MS SQL Server 2000 Snapshot Agent
Aug 16, 2006Hello Sir,
Now I'm choosing Trasactional publication as my publication type. I now can successfully replicate the data from publisher to subscriber without any error.
But now my question is what is the usage of snapshot agent? When I go to Replication Monitor > Agents > Snapshot Agents > Start Agent but failed.
I need to check with you whether the way I start the snapshot agent was not correct? What is the effect if I drop snapshot agent during the replication and DBUpdate are running?
Please kindly help me .
Thank You.
Transactional Replication && Snapshot Agent
Jun 27, 2007Why would you schedule a Snapshot Agent to run daily, weekly, monthly, etc. for Transactional replication when the transactions are replicated once the change is committed to the Publication database?
Does this help to replicate DDL against the Subscriber?
Thanks,

Snapshot Agent Can Not Connect To Distributor
Apr 24, 2006I'm trying to set up merge replication between SqlServer 2000 and SqlMobile 2005. When I create the publication, I select merge replication for SqlServer CE. When I view the status of the snapshot agent, the error message is "the process could not connect to Distributor. The step failed".
I've verified both SqlServer and SqlServer Agent are running under the same domain account (with admin access to the server). This domain account has full access to the snapshot shared folder. I've also run "exec sp_helpserver", which gives me the server name for both the name and network_name fields where id=0.
I'm able to successfully set up merge replication between SqlServer 2005 and SqlMobile 2005, but my production servers are sql 2000.

Snapshot Agent Missing Files.
Jan 16, 2007My Snapshot Agent for SQL Server 2005 sometimes does not fully complete. I am expecting around 2073 files in the snapshot folder but only get 492 (this number does change). I have immediate_sync set to true, so I should get a full snapshot every time. It seems to quit after all data has been BCP'ed out and before the schema generation starts. I do get the "The replication agent has not logged a progress message in 10 minutes. This might indicate an unresponsive agent or high system activity. Verify that records are being replicated to the destination and that connections to the Subscriber, Publisher, and Distributor are still active. " message in the MSSnapshot_history table.
I am guessing that there is some sort of blocking that is preventing the snapshot agent from continuing and then it times out and dies. But that is a total guess as I have not been able to observe the behavior, only the outcome.
Any suggestions to what the cause is or how I can fix it?
Thanks, Amy
Unable To Get Snapshot Agent To Initialize
Feb 20, 2006I am unable to get my snapshot agent to initialize. When I start the "View Snapshot Agent Status" and press the Start button, it appears that the snapshot agent attempts to starts and then it doesn't.
I have configured the a distribution server and need to push a replication to another database, both can connect, etc.
I used the wizard to configure the distributon server and subscription server. I am using AdventureWorks, and am attempting to replicate a single small table.
Replication :: Snapshot Agent Updates Statistics
Jun 26, 2015We have transactional replication publications from SQL 2014 to SQL 20122008 R2. When we add new tables to the existing publication and start the snapshot agent, Snapshot agent updates the statistics for random tables on the publisher DB. It appears that all the outdated statistics are being updated regardless which table is being initiated. In a highly transactional environment we can't update the statistics every time. its causing huge issues for us. Is there any work around for this ?Â
View 8 Replies View RelatedHow To Programmatically Find Out Whether Snapshot Agent Has Finished?
Oct 15, 2007Hi,
I want to generate a new snapshot using stored procedures. I want to wait for the snapshot files to be created and then execute a stored procedure. What's the best way to determine that the snapshot has completed successfully? I thought of doing something like:
exec msdb.dbo.sp_help_job
@job_name = @job_name
@job_aspect = 'job',
@execution_status = 1
however I can't put the results of that proc into a temp table because I get this error:
Msg 8164, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_get_composite_job_info, Line 72
An INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested.
Any ideas? I'd like a T-SQL solution.
Thanks,
Mark.
