The Merge Process Could Not Enumerate Changes At The 'Subscriber'.

Apr 19, 2006

I have two SQL 2005 Standard servers using merge replication, and out of the blue started getting failure notices regarding "The merge process could not enumerate changes at the 'Subscriber'." I turned on verbose logging and noticed the following section:

2006-04-19 12:53:33.227 Category:NULL
Source: Merge Replication Provider
Number: -2147200999
Message: The merge process could not enumerate changes at the 'Subscriber'. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write.
2006-04-19 12:53:33.227 The Merge Agent was unable to update information about the last synchronization at the Subscriber. Ensure that the subscription exists at the Subscriber, and restart the Merge Agent.
2006-04-19 12:53:33.227 The merge process was unable to update last synchronization information at the Publisher.


Using Profiler on both sides, I don't see anything out the ordinary during the replication process until there are two calls in a row to the stored procedure sp_MSadd_merge_history90, where the second one is storing the error message listed above.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Merge Process Could Not Enumerate Changes At The Subscriber

Apr 27, 2007

Hi,



I've seen quite a few posts about this error message but so far no answers. I'm merge replicating between SQL Server 2005 SP2 and SQL Server 2005 Mobile. Everything seems to run really well until at some point I get the above error message while running the replication from the device. It seems to happen just after I've made a schema change on the server e.g. the latest one was adding some new columns (which allow nulls) to replicated tables.



I've switched on verbose logging and I get the following:



2007/04/27 13:57:06 Hr=00000000 Compression Level set to 1

The error message doesn't seem very helpful. Is there another way to find out what is causing the problem? I've tried reinitializing all subscriptions and generating a new snapshot but it makes no difference. The only way I've found to fix this is to delete the database on the subscriber and synchronise again (losing all subscriber data since the last sync).



Regards,



Greg

The Process Could Not Enumerate Changes At The 'Subscriber'

Apr 5, 2007

Hi,

I have a problem with merge replication on SQL 2000.



-Publisher is Standard edition, subsriber MSDE

-Both SP4

-It always fails at same table.

- CHECKDB shows no errors

- It worked OK for a quite long period...



-Replication fails with this mesage ('verbose ouput'):

Some tables in article are merged succesfully so I don't believe it's a network error.



Anyway I will try to recreate the subscription, but there is a problem that subcriber has more data than publisher, so i have to manualy trasfer (DTS) the data to publisher before the new snapshot is applied.
If this also fails i guess i can assume there is a connectivity problem.



Any comments or suggestions are welcome...

Replication: Cannot Enumerate Changes At Subscriber

Jul 2, 2003

Hi all!

I hope anyone here can help me with this tough problem:

I have a replication enviroment with several subscribers.
Publisher:MSSQL 2000, SP3
Subscribers: MSSQL200, SP3 and MSDE2000, SP3

Since a few weeks, one of the subscribers fails when
synchronizing with the message
"This process could not enumerate changes at the subscriber"

The erroroutput with verboselevel 3 doesn't help me much, I
append it to the end of this posting. (unfortunately german)

I heard that this error can be caused by a "blank" in an image
column or different Service Pack Versions - definitely not
possible in this case!
The only strange detail is that the SQL Server Versionnumber
of this MSDE shown via EM is not the same as the number shown
in controlpanel->software. By the way, is it ok that here are
two lines for the MSDE?
SP3 is definitely installed on all machines!

Any help would be greatly appreciated - i'm already losing hope...
Best Regards, Gert

Enumerate Subscriptions In A Merge Replicated CE Database?

Jun 27, 2007



How can I list all of the Subscriptions in a CE Database that was created with the .Net System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeReplication.AddSubscription method?



After I create the CE database in an sdf file, I can connect to it with SQL Servr Mgmt Studio, then see the list of Subscriptions in the Object TreeView, under "Replication"



But I can't find that Subscription list in any properties or methods of System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeReplication or System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeConnection



Should I be looking in RMO features like Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication??



We want to confirm that a local CE database was last synced from the expected SQL Server database by checking the Publisher property of each subscription in the CE database.



Thanks

Change A Merge Subscriber To Become A Merge Publisher

Aug 16, 2004

Hi,

I'm using merge replication to maintain a backup copy of my main (publisher)MSDE database. A push subscription periodically (1 per minute) updates the backup DB.
It's intended that if the main db goes down then the backup (subscription) db can be configured as a publisher. This must all be performed via scripting.
The initial configuration of the main publisher and subscription is controlled via scripting, which works fine.
The problems occur when I try to configure the subsciber to become a publisher. A script is executed on the subscriber but fails at the point when it's configuring the publisher detail. The error is something like "unable to configure a publication for a database setup as an anonymous subscription".
I'm guessing that there are subscritpion artifacts added to the database which need to be removed before it can be configured as a new publisher.

Please help,
Jez W

Merge Replication Subscriber

Sep 6, 2001

SQL Server 7.0 SP3

I am using the "Pull Subscription Wizard" to set up merge replication. I go through all the steps of the wizard and then I hit "Finish" at the end. When it gets to the third step (Creating the Subscription), I get the old:

__________________________________________________ _________
mmc.exe has generated errors and will by closed by Windows.
You will need to restart the program.

An error log is being created.
__________________________________________________ _________

This happens whether I try to do this from my PC or from the actual server I am creating the subscription on.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a hotfix I need?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Any help at this stage is welcome!

Due to collation-discrepancies the publisher and subscriber databases have been recreated.
When however I attempt to restart the publishing...SQL gives the message

"The process could not make a generation at the 'Subscriber"

There is enough space on the harddisk of either subscriber or publisher 3Gbyte+
UserRights are ok and I reinitialized the publication.

Everything seems ok and yet I get the error mentionned above.

Can anyone give me some help with this?
Thank you!! :)

Push Subscriber In Merge Replication

Jul 26, 2004

I am using merge replication with a push subscription type. I am wondering if the updates of the tables on the subscriber side are push to the publisher from the subscriber or pulled from the subscriber by the publisher when the syncronisation takes place. this makes a big diferrence for me and i can't find the answer to this question anywhere...

if anyone could answer it would be really appreciated

Deletes On Subscriber In Merge Replication

Oct 20, 2006

Using Merge replication between SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server CE,
is there any way that row deletes could occur on the subscriber without a reinitialize
or explicit delete of row on publisher.

More specifically, if there is a row filter that returns a days worth of data with each
days pull, for example, and the filter looked like
select <columns> from Table where UpdateDate < GETDATE() and UpdateDate >= DATEADD(d,1,GETDATE())
would there be some implicit delete at subscriber each day because data sent changed?

My research indicates this does not happen, but I have a colleague who thinks differently.

Merge Replication - Subscriber Error

Apr 20, 2007

Hi,

I have setup merge replication between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Express. The setup uses web synchronization. (And the setup uses dynamic filter HOST_NAME)

On some of the client machines, replication fails with the following error (when initializing the subscription):

from subscriber merge agent verbose log:
A dynamic snapshot will be applied from 'D:DOCUME~1JBAUMG~1.CORLOCALS~1TempDB101-EQA-SCL_BQDB_BQ_PUB_BQDB'

Validating dynamic snapshot
2007-04-1819:39:45.434 OLE DB Subscriber 'FRG-BAUMGARTENJSQLEXPRESS': sys.sp_MSregisterdynsnapseqno @snapshot_session_token=N'\XXX.XX.XX.XXSnapshotuncDB101-EQA-SCL_BQDB_BQ_PUB20070417180079dynsnap', @dynsnapseqno='5599F67E-A1A9-4573-A14F-9851F6FE4B51'

(Note: XXX.XX.XX.XX is a proper IP of DB, I have just masked it in the post)

The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have been unable to create or write to the message file.When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write.

I enabled verbose logging for the snapshot agent for the subscriber, but there was no error there. It is obvious from the log info above that the error occurs only after downloading the snapshot to the client and during applying it to the subscriber by the merge agent.

After I got this error, I tried running the subscriber program again and it successfully replicated on the third attempt. But this behavior is not consistent and it fails for most of the time on some of the machines

Any info on this error?

The Process Could Not Deliver The Snapshot To The Subscriber, Using WebSynchronisation 2 Server Setup

Jan 29, 2007



I am Having trouble trying to set up SQL Server Replication Utilising Web Synchronisation Where the
IIS(Web Server) is on a separate machine to the SQL Server(Publisher). I am using MSDE as the SQL Server Box, however even when I used SQLServer2000, or SQLServer2005 I have had no joy with the 2 separate Servers setup.

If I have the one server then I have no problems (i.e. One Server Setup)
Server A: Windows 2000,
with MSDE installed
enabled for Merge replication,
and has a Publication set up.
IIS Web Page Setup for Synchronisation

My SQL Server 2005 Mobile device syncs via the web page on ServerA Fine, no problems at all.


The Trouble is when I am trying to utilise SQL Server Replication as follows. (i.e. 2 Server Setup)

Basically I am using the Same ServerA as in the one Server setup I had above. All I have done is I am now using a Separate IIS Server for the Web Synchronisation ServerB
I have run the "Configure Web Synchronisation Wizard"(ConnWiz30.exe) on my web page on ServerB. And I am using Anonymous Access Authentication With Windows NT Authentication on my Web Server(ServerB),
the Anonymous User is a Domain user, and is the Same Domain User I used in the One Server setup which I had working (so this IIS Anonymous Domain user should have all permissions required on the ServerA (SQL Publisher) both Windows permissions and SQL Server Permissions.


Server A: Windows 2000,
with MSDE installed
enabled for Merge replication,
and has a Publication set up.

Server B: Windows XP, IIS Web Server(Web page enabled for Web Synchronisation)

I have a Mobile device as a subscriber, which is using Web Synchronisation on ServerB(Web Server), to sync with the ServerA (MSDE Box).
The error I am receiving is "A Call to SQL Server Reconciler has Failed" Try to resynchronise, "The Process Could Not deliver the Snapshot to the Subscriber"


A little extra info:
-I can remotely connect from my Web server(ServerB) to the SQL Box ServerA via a TCP/IP ODBC connection so remote connections does not seem to be an issue.

-If on My Mobile device if I try to Add a Subscription & Synchronise the replication using the
AddSubscription(AddOption.ExistingDatabase), it works fine. (Obviously the subscription database does exist before the synchronisation)

If I try to Add a Subscription & Synchronise the replication using the
AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase), I get the error as mentioned.

Is there something I have missed? Any help you can provide is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Merge: Records Associated By A JOIN Filter Not Being Sent To A Subscriber

Jan 25, 2007

Hi,

I have a merge (SQL 2005 Standard -> Express) topolgoy which is having problems 

The main problem is that the join filters don't seem to work for one area and I am hoping someone can help me with some troubleshooting advice

There are 140+ tables in the topology but the ones causing  particular  pain are a parent child relationship where the child is actually a bridge/linking table to another table.

Therefore although it is a parent child in the replication filters it is the reverse. i.e. the child has the paramterised filter on it and the parent is one level down joined by it's id.  There are other tables joined to this parent table but it stays at three levels deep.  The @join_unique_key therefore is set to 0 as is the partition options for the parent /child relationship.

However, when we synchronise we have a problem. The rows get inserted in to the database in RI order but only the child records are replicated down to the subscriber.

The child table with the parameterised filter has 13 articles joined to it in total and one of the other branches of join filters go down as deep as four levels.  Most though do not.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, James

P.S. I should add this problem only occurs when the edits are made at the publisher.  If new records are added at the subscriber everything is fine.

SQL Server 2008 :: Merge Replication - Replacing A Subscriber

Mar 4, 2015

We have a central office with a SQL2005SP4 server (yeah, I know... old as heck) that's the main database and it has multiple subscribers in regional offices. Well... one of the regional offices server is failing, and it needs to be replace.

The original server is an ancient Win2003 86x

The Server team will build a new Win2008r2 64x, and use the same name and IP address

And I'm tasked with the SQL part.

I'll be installing the same version/patch of SQL, but 64x instead, and migrate all databases, including the system databases.

How do I handle replication? Do I need to reintialize from scratch? or can I just use the backup as a starting point?

Merge Replication: Missing Rows At Subscriber With No Conflicts

Hi all,



We are using a mix of SQL 2005 and 2000 servers and our "main" database server is running SQL 2005 x64 (SP2 ver. 3042).



Our system has run perfectly for months, then subsequent to an SP2 update we are seeing several instances where the data record counts are different for several tables among all the servers.



We are using Merge Replication, with no filters and published every 2 minutes.



Any ideas?

Finding Valid Identity Range On Merge Subscriber

Nov 22, 2006

I am using merge replication with automatic identity range management

I want to be able to give a disconnected subscriber a warning message if a certain percentage of the allocated subscriber identity range has been used
- so that they can make sure they reconnect soon to obtain a new identity range

I can get the current identity value OK, but I can't find a good way of finding the current permitted primary and secondary ranges

The information is available in the check constraint, but I don't really want to have to parse this!

CONSTRAINT [repl_identity_range_0DF907AC_40CF_4849_9BD0_2173C90A3805] CHECK NOT FOR REPLICATION (([ContactID]>(10000040000.)
AND [ContactID]<=(10000050000.) OR [ContactID]>(10000050000.) AND [ContactID]<=(10000060000.)))

I can't find any system view which will provide this information

Is there a recommended way of doing this?

Thanks

Replication :: Merge Agent Not Applying Transactions In Bulk On First Initialization Of A Subscriber

May 12, 2015

We have a filtered publisher (SQL Server 2012) with several pull and push subscriptions that have been functioning fine for years.

We have just added a new pull subscriber from a remote server.  We configured an alternate folder location on the subscriber (pointing to existing path on a remote server).  We generated new snapshot and partitioned snapshot, and moved to subscribing server at alternate path.We're seeing a problem we've never seen before:

When the merge agent runs, it applies the schema and performs a few hundred bulk inserts, but then proceeds to 'download changes to subscriber' as though the snapshot is old (it is brand new and should have all transactions).  We have never seen this before, i.e. all data is usually applied in bulk when creating a new or reinitializing an existing subscriber.

we marked the subscriber for re-initialization (from both the publishing and subscribing server) with a fresh set of snapshots.  The same problem occurred.We have also tried in our test environment (which mirrors production) and the snapshot applies as expected (via bulk inserts).

(It might be relevant to note the publisher was recently upgraded in-place from 2005 to 2012.)

The problem is this table (MSMerge_History) and other two tables (MSMerge_genhistory, MSRepl_errors) are quite large. We want to keep SQL Server 2005 Express database as small as possible so we can put more data into it.
Is there anyway (Manually or automatically) to clean those tables in SQL Server 2005 Express? Please help.

Merge Process Could Not Initialize The Subscription

Jul 19, 2007

I am experiencing some replication problems. I have a test server with a test database which has been working just fine with some simple Merge Replication. That old server is now been targeted for decommissioning. I have moved the test database to another test server and have set everything conceivable up the same as it was on the prior server but I am experiencing errors that I have not been able to resolve. I am using the same Domain User account with the same privileges on both systems...



The first error I receive in my SQL Server error logs is:



Message
Error: 14151, Severity: 18, State: 1.



Rapidly followed by the following error message:



Message
Replication-Replication Merge Subsystem: agent SOURCE-DATABASE-MERGE-DESTINATION-16 failed. The merge process could not initialize the subscription. Ensure that the subscription registration exists at the publisher, and reregister the subscription if necessary.



From within the Replication Monitor I look into the subscription and I can see the following error message:



Command attempted:

{call sys.sp_MSmergesubscribedb ('true', 0) }



Error messages:

The merge process could not initialize the subscription. Ensure that the subscription registration exists at the publisher, and reregister the subscription if necessary. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201011)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147201011



INSERT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ANSI_PADDING'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or query notifications and/or xml data type methods. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 1934)
Get help: http://help/1934



I have looked into the help links from above, researched codes and also browsed this forum and others to no avail so far. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! THANKS!
