The Process Could Not Connect To The Distributor....
Nov 28, 2006
I have a small problem, I get this following error when trying to start the snapshot agent "The process could not connect to the distributor 'distributor name'. NOTE: The step was retried the requested number of times [10] without succeeding. The step failed.
I thought it was related to users or rights but i am using the same user than in previous replication with the server and the rights haven't been altered. I don't know if someone has some knowledge of what to do or a workaround solution, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Merge replication previously working fine. The problem
After migrating MSDE from sp3a to sp4 (in order to fix CE replication bug) I can't sync to MSDE. I got the following error code: [29045]->[Initializing SQL Server Reconciler has failed.] so I've looked into SQL Server CE log file and I've found the following error message:
2006/02/07 19:44:23 Thread=9A8 RSCB=4 Command=SYNC Hr=00000000 The process could not connect to Distributor 'Distributor-name'. 20084
2006/02/07 19:44:23 Thread=9A8 RSCB=4 Command=SYNC Hr=00000000 Data source name not found and no default driver specified
I've already tried without success
Uninstalling all SQL Server 2000 (EE) instances (except for the "no instance") Unistalling and re-install MSDE (sp4) Re-registering sscerp20.dll. Rebooting server. Restarting IIS.
i am creating the Merge Replication between two server(both SQLServer-2005, on XP).
Server names are as
1. HB5B
2. VSNET1
i) On server HB5B, i had created the Publication with name 'hb_pub'.
(publisher & Distributer on HB5B server)
ii) On server VSNET1, i had created the Pull Subscription, for the publication name hb_pub( form the server HB5B), this starts fine.
iii) When i went to Viwe Synchroniztion status, it says
The process could not connect to Distributor 'HB5B'
iv) i too check the Distributor properties, its seems fine for me.
v) On server VSNET1, if creats the Push Subscription, for the publication name hb_pub( form the server HB5B), this starts fine.
vi) When i went to Viwe Synchroniztion status, it says
The server 'VSNET1' is not a Subscriber. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
vii) if i try again the Start button on the Viwe Synchroniztion status, it says the job is already running (with job name), Change the database context to 'HBmyDB' ( this is my database name).
the check list i made is
i) I had log on as service(SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) & SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) ) as Administrator at server VSNET1(i mean it had the administrative right) & restarted them.
ii) I do have the administrative rights on the both of the machines.
Hey guys. I am creating an app that uses the RMO Merge Replication objects. So far it can subscribe and unsubscribe just fine but when it comes to the syncing process it gets a little weird, here's why.
- If I run the SQL GUI Sync tool, it sinks fine. So that setup is working.
- When I run the C# App it blows up witht the error: "Process cannot connect to Distributor"
- Here's the weird part: When I set a breakpoint on my custom method SyncData (this method sets up the connection info and properties and then calls Syncronize( ) ) and step through the code when it gets to Syncronize( ) it runs perfectly fine, no execeptions.
I thought that maybe the Syncronize( ) method was being called too fast before the connection properties got to fully setup and connect, so I added a Thread.Sleep( ) method for 10 secs after each connection call and just before calling Syncronize( ). It still didn't work. My class is a static class by design, however, I changed it into an ordinary class and then placed the connection info in the constructor hoping it would do it's connection when the object gets initialized, that didn't work either.
If someone could please help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it.
Here's my code:

I have publisher and distributor, both on SQL 2005. I need to re configure replication. When I try to create publisher, the wizard gives me an option to give password to connect to Distributor. Even after resetting this password on the distributor server, publisher still gives me the following error.
SQL Server could not connect to the Distributor with the specified password. SQL Server Error 21670.
I created a publication for a single table. Then I created the subscription to another 2005 server. Had to add it as a subscriber in the wizard. Told it to do the snapshot right away.
Everything seems fine right up to the point where it tries to connect to the subscriber... I get a cannot connect error. I have tried all kinds of security context and accounts for the sql agent to run under but nothing seems to work. I cannot even get a linked server to work. I have the subscriber setup to accept remote connections.
I am not sure where to look at next... I never had this issue in 2000.
I'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.
Both pcs are connected to each other via the internet as i am using Aliases ,they can both access and see each other using SQL Auth.
I want to implement Merge Replication to Synchronize TestDB ,
I have NO DOMAIN connnecting them.
I Created a new publication ,under security i asked the agent to use the Sa account to connect
When launching the rep monitor i get the following error:
"Replication Monitor could not connect to Distributor 'laptop'."
"Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)"
Both Publisher and Distributer are on my Laptop ,why cant they connect to each other?
Another Question : could i implement Traditional Merge replication to synchronize my DBs or do i need to configure Web Synch in Merge rep to enable connecting via the internet?!
I have 2 servers: #1 -- SQL 2005 SP1 publisher ; #2 -- SQL 2005 SP2 subscriber
originally I had #1 as pub and dist but dist but killing my CPU so I was in the process of moving the dist to #2... Got it all configured and when I tried to add #2 as a dist for #1 it fails when I get to the administrative password screen... It give me an error about how it cannot connect with the given password but under that is says linked server failed.
Since it mentioned linked server I tried to connect via the previous linked server to #2 and it failed... I cannot connect to #2 anymore from #1. I can login directly to #2 and I can use osql to connect to #2 but linked server does not work. I tried all drivers and many configurations...
I am not able to connect to Remote Distributor from Publisher using Administrative Link Password. I have configured the Distributor on 1 m/c and Publisher on another m/c. When i use the wizard to configure the publisher using remote distributor. I have also specified the same Admin Password link (distributor_admin) in the distributor m/c.
I am getting the following message:
TITLE: New Publication Wizard------------------------------ SQL Server could not connect to the Distributor using the specified password.
Connection to server [SANMENON] failed.OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "D956CF83-AE2E-4FC5-83DD-BE90D84A3950" returned message "Login timeout expired".OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "D956CF83-AE2E-4FC5-83DD-BE90D84A3950" returned message "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 21670)
I had to un-install and re-install SQL Server 2005 for a different problem which has been resolved.
But now when I try to make a connection to the database I get the following error:
"...No process is on the other end of the pipe"
I have verified that the server allows named pipeing which seems to be the common answer I found after searching. I have also verified that the account I use is setup and has all the proper permissions.
Can someone help me in resolving this issue noting what I have verified above???
I downloaded MS Pet Shop 4.0 recently for best-practice training purposes. The installation went smoothly with a SQL Server 2005 backend. At first I had a problem authenticating the mspetshop4 user in the database, but that was solved by fixing some settings with the password policy. Now the mspetshop4 user is authenticated properly, but I came across this error instead:Server Error in '/Web' Application.

I was trying to extract data from the source server using OLEDB Source and SQL Server Destination when i encountered this error:
"Transaction (Process ID 135) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.".
What must be done so that even if the table being queried is locked, i wouldn't experience any deadlock?
Hello all, I am running into an interesting scenario on my desktop. I'm running developer edition on Windows XP Professional (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Developer Edition). OS is autopatched via corporate policy and I saw some patches go in last week. This machine is also a hand-me-down so I don't have a clean install of the databases on the machine but I am local admin.
So, starting last week after a forced remote reboot (also a policy) I noticed a few of the databases didn't start back up. I chalked it up to the hard shutdown and went along my merry way. Friday however I know I shut my machine down nicely and this morning when I booted up, I was in the same state I was last Wenesday. 7 of the 18 databases on my machine came up with
FCB:pen: Operating system error 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) occurred while creating or opening file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation. and it also logs FCB:pen failed: Could not open file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.).
I've caught references to the auto close feature being a possible culprit, no dice as the databases in question are set to False. Recovery mode varies on the databases from Simple to Full. If I cycle the SQL Server service, whatever transient issue it was having with those files is gone. As much as I'd love to disable the virus scanner, network security would not be amused. The data and log files appear to have the same permissions as unaffected database files. Nothing's set to read only or archive as I've caught on other forums as possible gremlins. I have sufficient disk space and the databases are set for unrestricted growth.
Any thoughts on what I could look at? If it was everything coming up in RECOVERY_PENDING it's make more sense to me than a hit or miss type of thing I'm experiencing now.
Dear list Im designing a package that uses Microsofts preplog.exe to prepare web log files to be imported into SQL Server
What Im trying to do is convert this cmd that works into an execute process task D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad>preplog ex.log > out.log the above dos cmd works 100%
However when I use the Execute Process Task I get this error [Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoadpreplog.exe" "" at "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad", The process exit code was "-1" while the expected was "0".
There are two package varaibles User::gsPreplogInput = ex.log User::gsPreplogOutput = out.log
How do I use the execute process task? I am trying to unzip the file using the freeware PZUnzip.exe and I tried to place the entire command in a batch file and specified the working directory as the location of the batch file, but the task fails with the error:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC0029151 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: In Executing "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeeklyUnzip.bat" "" at "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeekly", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Then I tried to specify the exe directly in the Executable property and the agruments as the location of the zip file and the directory to unzip the files in, but this time it fails with the following message:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "%1 is not a valid Win32 application".
The command in the batch file when run from the command line works perfectly and unzips the file, so there is absolutely no problem with the command, I believe it is just the set up of the variables on the execute process task editor under Process. Any input on resolving this will be much appreciated.
I am designing a utility which will keep two similar databases in sync. In other words, copying the new data from db1 to db2 and updating the old data from db1 to db2.
For this I am making use of the 'Tablediff' utility which when provided with server name, database, table info will generate .sql file which can be used to keep the target table in sync with the source table.
I am using the Execute Process Task and the process parameters I am providing are:
The customer.bat file will have the following code: tablediff -sourceserver "LV-SQL5" -sourcedatabase "TC_CTI" -sourcetable "CUSTOMER_1" -destinationserver "LV-SQL2" -destinationdatabase "TC_CTI" -destinationtable "CUSTOMER" -f "c:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1"
the .sql file will be generated at: C:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1.
The Problem: The Execute Process Task is working fine, ie., the tables are being compared correctly and the .SQL file is being generated as desired. But the task as such is reporting faliure with the following error :
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:SQL_bat_FilesSQL5TC_CTIpackage_occurrence.bat" "" at "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90COM", The process exit code was "2" while the expected was "0". ]
Some of you may suggest to just set the ForceExecutionResult = Success (infact this is what I am doing now just to get the program working), but, this is not what I desire.
I'm pulling data from Oracle db and load into MS-SQL 2008.For my data type checks during the data load process, what are options to ensure that the data being processed wouldn't fail. such that I can verify first in-hand with the target type of data and then if its valid format load it into destination table else mark it with error flag and push into errors table... All this at the row level.One way I can think of is to load into a staging table then get the source & destination table -column data types, compare them and proceed.
should I just try loading the data directly and if it fails try trouble shooting(which could be a difficult task as I wouldn't know what caused error...)
I am having this table locking issue that I need to start paying attention to as its getting more frequent.
The problem is that the data in the tables is live finance data that needs to be changed and viewed almost real time so what I have picked up so far is that using 'table Hints' may not be a good idea.
I have a guy at work telling me that introducing a data access layer is the only way to solve this, I am not convinced but havnt enough knowledge to back my own feeling up. (asp system not .net).
Hi, I'm trying to upload the ASPNETDB.MDF file to a hosting server via FTP, and everytime when it was uploaded half way(40% or 50%) I would get an error message saying: "550 ASPNETDB.MDF: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" and then the upload failed. I'm using SQL Express. Does anybody know what's the cause? Thanks a lot
Hi. When I try to start a package manually clicking the Start Debugging button I get this after a little while:

How can I prevent this from happening? This happens every time I want to start the package and every time the process id is different. Here it is 3880.
After extensive testing I have found that bcp's run almost twice as fast on my dedicated Distributor than on either the Publisher or Subscriber. I was wondering if there is a way to make the bcp's spawned by creating a Snapshot run on the distributor and not the Publisher.

Error: 0xC002F304 at Rename file 1, File System Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.".
When running two File System Tasks after each other, with the same file, the file is still locked when running the second task. Resulting in an error: 0xC002F304 at Rename file 1, File System Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.".
I found a workaround by addind a Execute Process Task before the second File System Task that pings to the localhost. This results in a 5 second delay, but there must be a better solution. Anyone?
I was wondering if you could set up multiple distributors for one database?For example:Server A needs to publish data to server B so I set up server A's distributor as server B. Later Server A needs to publish data to server C so I want to set up the distributor for this replication to use server C.I don't think this is possible as you need to set up the distributor for the entire DB when its created not for each individual replication job.Any help is appreciated.Nick
