I have created a subscription pull from one SQL server to another so that the database from one SQL server is replicated to another. But when the subscription runs, no data appears in the subscriber SQL server. When I check the subscription, I see that the database is connecting to the publisher but that is it. I have the login correct but what am I missing? Do the tables in the subscriber database have to be already created and matching the ones in the publisher database before the subscription runs or are they automaticaly created after the subscription runs?
Can you do a merge replication based on a view even if the data the view is based on is not located in the SQL database where the view is located (I am using distributed queries to pull in the data and have a view based on those distributed queries but the actual database where the data resides is on another server) ? Also, are you able to access a view via Active Server Pages?
First I'd like to thank Michel Smit for providing the instructions on how to create/recreate a report using VWD then converting it to C# Express. It was a tremendous help.
My report is generating, however, it is only pulling the first record in the database (there are four records in all). My report uses a stored procedure shown below:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.StoredProcedure1
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT inventory.*, Feeding.*
FROM Feeding CROSS JOIN inventory
Is there something wrong with this stored procedure? Or is there some other step I need to include. I was experiencing the "A data source instance has not been supplied for the data source" error before and I corrected that issue when I discover the report was looking at the wrong data source. However, on the information I found to the correct the problem it said that when the correct source is located, the relevant components should be created on the design surface which they are not, could this be contributing to my issue?
i have a table and i need to insert one column with data from another table. it goes something like this (although i know this is wrong, just here for a visual explaination) :
Code:
INSERT INTO List (list_date, email_address, list_status, list_email) values ( GetDate() , 'name@rice.edu' , 0 , SELECT emailAddress FROM Users WHERE id = '72' )
so, list_email needs the email address from the Users table. i tried messing around with inner joins but, well, here i am...
What is the proper way to ensure when pulling date between two getdates, that you include from midnight of the first getdate to 23:59 hours in the second getdate?
WD.WRKD_WORK_DATE and WD.WRKD_WORK_DATE between DATEADD(DD, - 11, GETDATE()) and DATEADD(DD, - 5, GETDATE())
It seems to me that if a scheduled SSRS report subscription fails ( Status Message - An error has occurred during report processing) , that I actually need to delete the subscription and reconfigure it from scratch. The scheduled job doesn't try to run again automatically (say the next Monday on a weekly Monday schedule).
Is there a way to "reset" a failed subscription without have to recreate the entire subscription?
Existing subscription already contains table included in the new subscription.
What are the possible causes of this merge replication error? Could it be caused by a SQL Server Compact Edition User trying to sync their .sdf file after their subscription has already expired on the SQL Server?
Would you expect to see a different message if a SQL Server Compact Edition user tried to sync a subscriber database (.sdf file) with merge replication if it's been longer than the subscription retention period since their last sync?
We are migrating our reporting services database from one server to another.
What needs to be done to subscriptions to ensure they work properly. Will they automatically update as part of the migration, or is there a manual process.
We are using Reporting Services 2000 and will be using Reporting services 2000 as well on the new server.
Hi all, I'm creating data driven subscription for parameterized reports. I'm supposed to deliver one report to six different customers. But each customer can see only his own data in the report. This is not a problem. But the problem is I need another report in which all the data can be seen. When I create DD subsription, I chosed Auto increment option for the write mode under "
Specify delivery extension settings for Report Server FileShare" . But then it creates seperate report for each parameter value. But it does not create the report which contains all the data for all parameter values. How can I make it without creating another report. Also when I use overwrite option instead of Auto Increment, It creates only one reports. Does any one know why it happens?
Hi, I am doing a repl.in SQL7/NT. At time of 'Push Subscription wizard' - I used the option "Yes,Initialize the schema and data......" whereas I already had data and schema at the subscriber. Now my question is what will happen now and how long will this process take(for approx5GB of DAta). OR should I stop the process - it's already an hour when I started the process. Any suggestion appreciated.
I have a data driven subscription with the information about the file name/file extension/ path etc coming in from a database. The problem is that the subscription status after running tells me that things are done and there is no error but the file is not being generated in the specified directory and for that reason the file is not generated at all anywhere on the hard disk. can anybody please help.
The information in the database for the report is as follows
Because of problems trying to alter databases used for replication my software would need to find out if a database is a publisher or was repliated (using T-SQL). Is this possible?
I want to use window script program to execute a pull subscription installed on SQL 2005 express edition. Because it free for downloand. is there a script that can call an existing pull subscription execution.
is there anyone know how to drop subscription from the publisher database without a connection to the subscriber(because the subscriber server is formated)
I have uploaded a report onto my 2005 Reporting Manager and want to create a daily email of the report... How do I set up the email facility? Can someone give me a link? I not sure what to do because the company uses Exchange Server and not SMTP....
I need to subscribe one report in Reporting Services. I was compiled all fields and I said to report server that I want excel file at one shared directory of the server. When the report server tried to process the report I have the following messagge:
Failure writing file S16 : An unexpected error occurred in Report Processing.
The current action cannot be completed because the user data source credentials that are required to execute this report are not stored in the report server database. (rsInvalidDataSourceCredentialSetting)
Delievered by: Report Server E-Mail SMTP: is enabled on IIS Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
Email Setting: setup correctly
What else is it that I would need to check to get the subscriptions going?
We are seeing a problem with the users of our application. If the user closes our application from running programs (as best as we can tell as we cannot repro in dev) and SQL Mobile is in the middle of an async sync, sometimes when the application restarts it fails to load the properties for replication from the database. We are using code that is nearly identical to the samples provided by MS for performing replication async. Basically, the database still exists on the device and the application can use it just fine, but when a sync starts, the database is already there, so it tries to load the properties at which point we get a message stating that there is no subscription in the database.
Any ideas?
The second question would be if it doesn't exist and the database already contains data, can I create the subscription and have it not loose the users changes? Will it sync correctly after that?
hi. i was following the newbie's guide: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/med302_msdn_sql_mobile.asp?frame=true
on the creating a new subscription i was doing okay until i get to the last part wherein i click finish and this error pops up when it starts synchronizing data..
An error has occured on the computer running IIS. Try restarting the IIS server.
i already tried restarting the server.. is there anything else i can do to make it work?
I have setup Merge replication with 2 publishers and one subscriber. On the subscription machine I can see publisher 1 listed under local subscriptions but not publisher 2. I have created the second subscription on publisher 2 and also tried to create the subscription again on the subscription machine but i get an error saying the 'Subscription already exists'.
Neither do I see the second subscription nor does it work as if it is subscribed to Publisher 2. What could be going wrong.
I know how to schedule a report to generate and email somebody weekly on a particular day of the week but how do you tell it to run for previous date range? For example to run on Thursday Sept.13, I would want it include data from Start date of Sept 3 and end date Sept 9.
I have attempted this with more than one database (SQL Server 2005). The snapshot was created successfully. The Web configuration was completed successfully. All my security logins (DB and authentication) have the correct permissions and I have followed Microsoft's instructions perfectly (over and over again!).
I am using a MS Server2003 R2 box, Service Pack 1. All of my Mobile 5.0 components installed successfully.
This is a data formatting issue, but I am attempting with an empty table (3 fields) to make it as simple as possible. In fact, the first time through the instructions I used their SQLMobile database created with Microsoft's script. Same ending, same issue. I cannot create a SQL Server Mobile subscription.
I should mention that this error occurs on the 2nd task "Synchronizing Data".
What URL should be tested prior to subscribing - HTTP://MyBox/MyAppName? What should be the expected results? Right now, I get a page does not exist - of course, there are no pages, just the dll in the virtual directory.
I have Sharepoint Central Administration and Team Foundation Server web sites running. In addition,
Hello, I have spend 2 days already in search how to fix my query notification problem. Here is the case :
I run very very basic query like "SELECT name FROM dbo.author" with SqlNotificationRequest and I monitor events in SQL profiler. On Audit login I have :
-- network protocol: TCP/IP set quoted_identifier on set arithabort on set numeric_roundabort off set ansi_warnings on set ansi_padding on set ansi_nulls on set concat_null_yields_null on set cursor_close_on_commit off set implicit_transactions off set language us_english set dateformat mdy set datefirst 7 set transaction isolation level read committed
I understand my subscription fails but the reason as given in msdn is :
"The connection options were not set appropriately when the command was submitted"
You can see that my options are exactly as stated in MSDN. I'm stuck here and don't know what more to check in order to resolve this. If anyone can point me in some direction what I can check for this error will be highly appreciated. Thx in advance
I need to test a database solution (many tables) all indexes, ref. keys, because i get this error when I trying to create a new subscription. tru internet.
"No key matching the described characteristics could be found within the current range ".
I need somekind of program that checks data integrity. or what is this?
HELP!!! this issue is starting to bee very IMPORTANT to get some solution. clients is waiting to update database!
Is this the couse:
added new tables
added new columns
added new foreign keys
when replication was online??
Or have the DBMail something to do with this? I have seen in log files that mail is somehow connected.
Description: In the past I had an issue with the replication that suddenly became expired (no reason at all) and I had to re-do the whole thing from scratch. This is a transactional replication (SQL2.5K -> SQL2.5K) and the subscriber is used as warehouse where applications also inserting data (with neg. seed values for the PKs). This means applying the snapshot from the publisher is not applicable because there are data which will be lost from subscriber.
Question: Since the applying snapshot is not an option for reinitializing the subscription (initially was created without snapshot - from the backup and restore is not applicable at this stage) I need to find implementation way for two things:
1. I need subscription never get marked as expired (I did disable job "Expired subscription clean up" but still the replication can be marked as expired from the "Distribution clean up" job which I am not suppose to disable - this has different function as well - cleaning up the delivered transactions)
2. Safely dropping articles from the publication without applying snapshot to the subscriber (see reason above - num.1). If you force to drop the articles, does this mean that the subscription will be marked as expired after period of time? (This again will lead to problems as above).
Please, give me your opinion and/or best practices how to solve these problems. Other than that I am very happy with the improvements in the replication domain in SQL 2005.
