Stopping And Starting Pull Subscription
Feb 1, 2007
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

When our rep distribution services time-out (several times a day) some dba's just restart the service while others restart the rep job which starts the service. Are there any differences between these two methods? Does restarting the service inherit any changes made to the job's attributes?
Thanks!

My problem is primarily with SQL backup but the instant question is with mirroring in SQL 2005. I have a log file that is out of control and I need to do a backup with truncate_only, but this is command is evidently disallowed while mirroring is enabled. Is it possible to temporarily deactivate or remove mirroring in order to get the backup log under control? Is it possible to do that and then 'resume' mirroring?
A secondary issue is that I don't think mirroring is actually working at this point in time anyway. In the Mirroring section of the database properties the Status window says "No connection: cannot connect to the mirror server instance," so the question of stopping and restarting may be moot.
How does one reestablish mirroring if the connection is lost?
Lots of questions, I know... I'm reading up on it, but I'm obviously not the guy who set it up in the first place! Thanks in advance for any help...

hello everyone,
I wonder if you can help me with a problem I have trying to support a web based application that uses SQL 2005.
The problem is that the application developers tell me that it is neccessary to stop and restart the SQL service as part of the troubleshooting process when their application stops working. Unfortunately, the customer has our application database on a clustered SQL instance that is used by other applications so they cannot just stop and restart the SQL service because this will have a major impact on all the other instances...
Is there another way that would effectively do the same thing as stopping and restarting the SQL service? I have read that dettaching and re-attaching might do the same but application developers say onlt stopping/restarting services is sufficient to break the connection with the application.
Any advice would be really welcome as I am completely new to SQL and struggling with this!
Many thanks, Nick.

Hello All...
I am new to this forum (and new to SQL for that matter), so I hope this isn't a stupid question. I tried searching for the answer but couldn't find it here.
I am trying to start & stop SQL server through the command line so I can start & stop it as a scheduled task. Are there any switches for sqlmangr.exe I can use? Maybe another way?
Thanks....Dave S. <majordis@weco-group.com>

I have a job that runs a dtsx package (containing an infinite loop). What I want to do is set up a schedule to start the job at 8am and stop it at 5pm. The scheduling GUI doesn't give this kind of option (caveat: that I can see).

Hi guys
I've been dealing with a few problems with SQL Server 2005.
We don't want to give our DBA's local administrator access to the servers so we had a problem with SSIS which I managed to resolve by adding their global group into the local DCOm group and modifying the security properties of MsDtsServer.
Another problem I've come across is when you log into Management Studio as an account that has local administrator access to the server you have the Green symbol next to the registered server, you can then right click and Stop, Restart services etc.
If I log into Management Studio with an account that has full SQL sysadmin rights but not local administrator rights to the server then the Green symbol doesn't appear and the Stop, restart options are all greyed out - all other functionality appears okay, they just seem to lose the ability to remotely stop and start services.
All of the above is with Windows Firewall turned off, if the user has local administrator rights but the SQL Server has the Windows Firewall switched on they are unable to remotely stop and restart services.
Port 1433 is open on the firewall and program execptions are there for sqlbrowse.exe
Anyone come across this particular problem before?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hello:
We have a new sales force automation application for sales rep to log their contacts, etc. It runs on mssql 6.5, sp 4.
They log in and leave their connections on without logging off or leave their coonections idle .
We set the user connections fiarly high but we are concerned that the max amount of user connections weill be consumed and the sql serve becomes locked.
My questions are:
1) Is there any parameter in the sql server configuration that will log off idle users have a certain time and dsiconnect them?
2) A backup of the database will be made each night. If there is no parameter, would it be a good idea to stop and start the sql server every night to release the idle connections?
3) If so, how to stop sql server from the commadn and start it with a command line command and do this in a batch file as a scheduled task?
4) Is there any other way to release these idle connections each night?
Any information you can supply will be appreciated. THanks.

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?

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

[RS 2005]
Given the starting and stopping points (time values), how do I generate values between these points.
For example, if I have 08 (representing Hour) as a starting point and 12 as a stopping point.
From this I would like to generate a data sequence like 08, 09, 10, 11, and 12.
So how do I accomplish this? In SQL or in the RS?
The only thing I can think of is using a WHILE loop and a temporary table in SQL (not to keen on doing this).

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 -

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.

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,

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.

Hi all,
I have following problem:
I'm developing a Windows Mobile application, which is using RDA Pull for retrieving data from SQL Server 2005 database to PDA. Please, see the example:
Code Snippet
using (SqlCeEngine engine = new SqlCeEngine(connStr))
{
engine.CreateDatabase();
}
serverConnStr="Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=.;User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=Demo;Password=xxx";
using (SqlCeRemoteDataAccess rda = new SqlCeRemoteDataAccess(
Configuration.Default.SyncServerAddress, "", "", connStr))
{
rda.Pull("MyTable", "SELECT * FROM mytable", serverConnStr, RdaTrackOption.TrackingOffWithIndexes, "ErrorTable");
}
Everythink works fine, when I use 'sa' user account in serverConnStr.
But, when I change conn string to:
"Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=.;User ID=test;Initial Catalog=Demo;Password=test"
the sqlcesa30.dll cannot connect to SQL Server database.
In the sqlcesa30.log then I found following line:
Code Snippet
2007/04/17 10:43:31 Thread=1EE30 RSCB=16 Command=PULL Hr=80040E4D Login failed for user 'test'. 18456
The user 'test' is member of db_owner, db_datareader and public roles for the Demo database and in SQL Server Management Studio I'm able to login to the Demo database with using the 'test' users credentials and I'm able to run the select command on 'mytable'.
So, what's wrong? Why the sqlcesa30.dll process cannot login to the Demo database, and from another application with using the SAME connection string it works?
Please help.
Thank you.
Fipil.
