View 5 Replies View RelatedUsing SQL 2005 SP2. I have a publication that contains indexed views, and some other objects that query the indexed view using WITH (NOEXPAND). Currently replication fails because the CLUSTERED INDEX on the view is NOT replicated. I've experimented with various schema options but nothing changes. The view is replicated but not the clustered index on that view. I've seen some discussion on replicating indexed views to a table, but I would like to replicate indexed view schema fully. (Including the clustered index on that view). Is there a way to make this work?

I'm a novice with replication and am in need of direction on how to restore replicated databases. Server A replicates 5 databases to server B using transactional replication. Server A also contains the distribution database. I'm perfoming PUSH replication.
The development area asked me to restore Server A with a copy of production data located on server C. After I restored the data from C to A, I noticed that server A was no longer published. Is this normal?
I re-published the 5 databases, but noticed that the Log Reader Agent has now been running for 2 hours. I'm trying to give myself a crash course in replication, but am coming up empty regarding (1) the prefered method for restoring replicated databases and (2) determining why the Log Reader Agent is taking so long.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Dave
For SQL 2005 transactional replication I have 1400 articles (tables, views, functions, sp) that are all replicated.
Will SQL 2005 allow me to drop a table from from the publication and drop it from the publication database that is referenced by exising views or sps that are replicated or does it somehow check that?

I have 1 sql server 2005 database in Server A that is publishing a table to another database in Server B using the transactional method.
It is possible for me to delete all the rows in the database located at the publisher at the same time the subscriber pulls them?
Thanks.
I tried to run this(below) the table is replicated(transactional).
EXECUTE
sp_rename N'dbo.Tablename.Columnname, N'New_Columnname', 'COLUMN'But getting this error message:
Msg 15051, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_rename, Line 227
Cannot rename the table because it is published for replication.
We have a master database (SQL 2014 Std) from which data are imported from XML files (send by en ERP system) using SSIS. There is about 12 other servers (SQL 2014 Express) located in remote warehouses. People will uses PocketPC to scan barcode of products in the warehouses and all operations must be forwarded to the master DB to be exported in a XML file for the ERP system.Now, each warehouses are independant. How can I setup the replication so only data belonging to a specific warehouse is replicated to its corresponding DB? I thought about creating views, one for each warehouses, and setup a replication for each warehouse, so there would be 12 merge replications configured. Is it fine?

If I make changes to the db schema on server A - the changes are not replicated to server B.
Is this normal?
Do I have to restart the Sanapshot agent each time there is a schema change?

We had an issue recently where a (transactional) replicated table was replicating data as expected.
Then about 30 or so rows in the source table were not in the destination table, but other rows created after those 30 rows were replicated.
We have pretty much confirmed that users did not delete those rows.
Unfortunately we had to resolve the issue quickly and so blew away & recreated the subscription so a lot of evidence is probably gone from the crime scene.
We cant figure out what could cause 30 rows not to be replicated, yet leave replication operational.
Is there a script to find which non-clustered indices are replicated? I know i can do this easily through GUI , having a script will make my life much easier ....

Create jobs to copy database and restore database in destination servers

Yes and I would rather not use dts to accomplish this task.

Ray Miao at 5/7/2002 10:02:15 AM
Do you have direct network connection to remote server? Did you try dts?

I've been trying to replicate a database to an off site server using snapshot replication. It is scheduled to run every hour but I've noticed when data is changed at the source it never gets replicated to the destination. Does anyone know why?? I can't use transactional replication beause not all the tables have primary keys and they can't be added due to code. Some tables have id colunms and have been created with the Not for Replication option on the subscriber. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Robert
I can set up snapshot replication for those tables without foreign key constraints. But if there are foreign keys in the table, there will be error
message indicating that this object can not be dropped because it is referenced by ....
Do you have any remedy for that? Thanks
2 questions:
1) In snapshot replication, can the subsciber send info back to the publisher (even in a manual process)
2) In snapshot replication, do we need a distributor set up between the publisher and subscriber if there will only be a single subscriber, or can we write directly to it?
Thanks so much for any and all help!
Hi Guys,
We have a production server in East Coast (SQL Server 2000 SP2 - Database size is around 30 Gig). We have a reporting server is the West Coast. We need to replicate (transactional replication every one hour) from East coast to West coast. Is there any way that I can take a backup and restore upto the last transaction backup and then start replication agent on the production (by saying schema and data already exist). Basically we don't wan't to snapshot using FTP or bcp through WAN because it is going to be very slow.
If this is possible, will there be any validation problem.
Please help.
Thanks,

Suppose i want to replicate data from server A to server B
I am using snaphot replication.I did the snapshot replication for the first time
and server B got a snapshot of server A.
Next time i run snapshot i want the incremental data to be replicated and not all..Is this possible in snapshot replication? If not which type of replication should i use?
Hi All,I have set up a snapshot replication, and schedule it to run everynight. The snapshot run successfully, and data get replicated to thesubscribed server. However, data do not get transfer as the second dayand there after. I check the job history, the job (distribution) runsuccessfully. I start the snapshot agent again, then data gettransferred. I can schedule the snapshot agent to run every night, butthis is just not the way it's supposed to be. Is there anyone out therecan give me some help. Thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am using SQL SERVER 2005 snapshot wizard to create snapshot. But as soon as i create a snapshot it takes away all the indexes and constraint for the tabels on the subscription end although i have this indexes and constraint on Publisher side.
Can someone help me in finding if their is some setting to create a snapshot without losing indexes and constraints or if their is some other way to do this.

Hi is that possible to configure replication in the following situation.
server A is built by snap of server B. Because i am able to create publisher on server B but i am unable to create same on server A.
could any one explain the situation, why it is happening this way.
any help is appriciated.
if you are curious what kind of error i got.

I am looking forward at performing a SNAPSHOT REPLICATION between a 2000-Publisher and a 2005-Subscriber. But on following the wizard the latter is unable to recognize the publisher.
Could anyone help to let me know the possible reason or if there is some setting which i may have missed out?

Hi Everybody:
We encounter a difficult problem in our production environment.
I have a merge replicaiton which contains 10 tables from Server s1 and database d1 to Server s2 and database d2. Among those 10 tables 5 of them are true merge tables ( carry data both ways, from publisher to subscriber and from subscriber to publisher). Other 5 tables I would like them to carry data only one way from publisher to subscriber ( never merge data from subscriber). Anyone has any suggestions how I impliment this?
Thanks in advance.
Joan
I get the following error:
Another snapshot is running for the publication.
I just upgraded to Service pack2 and can not get the replication working. I have not clue what is wrong.
Thanks in Advance,

Hello,
We are using Snapshot replication to move data for our Data Warehouse from a server which performs the loading to the production reporting server. We are currently using Sql Server 2005 in both environments. The loading server is setup as the Distributor and Publisher and the production reporting server is setup as the subscriber. However, the replication is not automated instead we only want it to run if the load process is successful. To do this we did not set a schedule for replication but added the jobs that the Replication Wizard created to our own Sql Agent job which manages the load. I have listed the below commands that the sql agent is running for replication in the order in which they are ran.
1) -Publisher [SRVLOADER] -PublisherDB [PRESENTATION] -Distributor [SRVLOADER] -Publication [SRVREPORTER] -DistributorSecurityMode 1
2)-Subscriber [SRVREPORTER] -SubscriberDB [PRESENTATION] -Publisher [SRVLOADER] -Distributor [SRVLOADER] -DistributorSecurityMode 1 -Publication [SRVREPORTER] -PublisherDB [PRESENTATION]
In our own job we run each of these jobs using the EXEC SP_START_JOB() procedure. Each job listed above runs under their own PROXY account.
Finally, we are experiencing an intermittent problem where the Agent will report it is unable to Copy data into "X" table, with "X" being any one of the tables in the reporting database. This has only ever occurred during the automation process and not from manually running each agent job. This problem also might not occur for a couple of days and then might occur 2 or 3 days in a row, which has led us to question the dependability of this approach.
In closing I would like to ask if there is a problem with the way we have set it up? Something we could do to improve the process so it becomes more reliable? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Is there anyway to prevent deadlocks during the snapshot replication?
I understand that you can minimize by maybe creating a couple different snapshots (mixing tables to minimize locking while snapshot is being created), but is there any other way?
Thank you
I configured the transactional replication using push method. I use the option generate snapshot. Until the Snapshot complete, I didn't any tables in the subscriber db.After that also I can see in some tables it has indexes and some tables it doesn't but it has data in that table .
How does the bulk copy works from snapshot?i.e. is it first create the table with columns then insert data later it will create the indexes...How the sequence works in the subscriber.
Hello,
Harry Half wit here!!
I know that snapshot replication is the simplest form of syncing with SQL server and I can't even figure that out today!!.
I keep getting myself confused as to who should be configured to be a publisher, distibutor or subscriber etc etc.
My scenario is simple:
1 server creating a daily snapshot of a table and then 1 remote laptop (msde) pulls the snapshot into it's own database.
Heres what i did so far;
I configured the server to be a publisher and distributor (is that right?) and didn't set up any subscribers because i want to do that from my remote.
From the remote I did nothing but go into EM tools"create new pull subscription" but I cannot see the publication on the server.
SHould I set my remote to be a distributor to do this?
any help very much appreciated!!
Snapshot replication.
View synchronization status.
Last status message:
"The job failed. The Job was invoked by User distributor_admin. The last step to run was step 3 (Detect nonlogged agent shutdown.)."
What should I do to make the synchronization work?
I have two clusters and one publishes snapshots and the other cluster subscribes. I am planning an SP2 installation but I see in the SP2 readme that there are only special considerations for merge and transaction replication.
Will I need to patch in a certain order and will it matter if I patch the publisher who is also the distributor and then a week later patch the subscriber?
Thanks

What I'm trying to do is to create a snapshot replication where it is pushed from the publication server. I have it kinda working but my problem is that the subscription server is not grabbing the tables its asking for. It only grabs some replication tables.
I have noticed two things.
First: When I go to Job syncrinization progress it states that its still in progress even though the replicated database is Very small.
Second: In replication Monitor under the subscription watch list tab it states that the subscription has never been initialized.
Thanks,

We have a database which was replicated with merge replication. we added a few table and a field to another. When I try to create the snapshot I get:
An error was raised during trigger execution. The batch has been aborted and the user transaction, if any, has been rolled back.
I have detached and re-attached the db, removed all triggers from the tables, and still I cannot recreate the snapshot the last step before the error as listed in the monitor is generating all procedures for all table articles 49%.
