The Snapshot For This Publication Has Become Obsolete !

Nov 21, 2006

Hi,

I am in need of some help with this error - I am seeing on my PDA units. Here is my scenario:

I have 5 PDA units that use merge replication with SQL 2005. These PDA units replicate fine. But when I try to sync a 6th or 7th PDA unit, I see the following error:

Source : Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition - The snapshot for this publication has become obsolete. The snapshot agent needs to be run again before the subscription can be synchronized. -2147198698

I know that if I regenerate a new snapshot, I will be able to sync fine. But here are my concerns and questions:

What happens to the first 5 PDAs when I regenerate the a new snapshot.
Will they be able to sync without losing the data?
Does generating a new snapshot, relinitialize all the subscriptions?

Am I missing the whole picture with generating a new snapshot?

Thanks,

P

Snapshot Files Obsolete?

Jun 1, 2007

I recently had a problem with one of my publications that I haven't been able to figure out. Hopefully someone can help me with it.



I got this error last week: You must rerun snapshot because current snapshot files are obsolete. I assume this means the subscription needed to be re-initialized. Is this correct?



If so, I don't understand why. The publication was not changed. The subscription did not expire. The subscription was not marked for reinitialization.



Here are the specifics of my installation:



Merge publication with 1 pull subscription.

Subscriptions set to expire after 14 days.

Merge agent runs every day, every 5 minutes between 12:00:00A & 11:59:59P.

Snapshot agent was run once when publication was created and then disabled.

Publisher SQL ver: 2000 sp3

Publisher Win ver: 2003 sp1

Subscriber SQL ver: 2000 sp3

Subscriber Win ver: 2003 sp1



The subscription was successfully replicating every 5 minutes. The data for 12:35 shows the first problem. Here's the agent history at the time:

Problem After Applying Snapshot Publication To Subscriber

Jul 13, 2006

Hello all,

I have a unusual problem with a snapshot publication that I am having a hard time troubleshooting. The servers in question are all SQL 05 Enterprise. Here is the scenario:

Staging Server - This server acts as the publisher of the snapshot
Production Server - This server is the subscriber of the staging snapshot
Cascade Servers - These servers receive transactional updates from the production server

The staging server applies the snapshot to production successfully. From there the production server has a transactional publication which the subscribers are the cascade servers.

This model worked for a long time where we would generate the snapshot apply it to production and the updates would be sent to the cascade servers. All of a sudden there is a problem with the transactional publication from production -> cascade. There are 7-10 tables that do not receive the updates and all data in the problematic tables is truncated. The other remaining tables in the subscription receive the updates as needed. Looking at replication monitor and all other logs shows that the transactions are being replicated, but yet the 7-10 problematic tables do not contain any data. The only solution I have found for this is to recreate the entire replication model from scratch.

Any advice on how to handle this scenario? Is my model for using a transactional publication to cascade changes to a subset of servers incorrect?

Trouble Getting Snapshot Agent To Initialize Publication

Nov 16, 2006

I have been trying to set up transactional replication between an OLTP SQL Server 2005 Standard edition server and a BI SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition server. I am using a pull subscription. I was able to establish the replication from the developement server to the BI server however when I tried setting up the replication between the production environment and the BI server, using the same configuration settings, I ran into a problem. The production server had been renamed after it was initially set up. I used the sp_dropserver and sp_addserver to solve this issue and was able to run the replication wizard. However once the wizard finishes the snapshot agent doesn't initialize the publication. When I look at the replication monitor it has a status of "never run". I try to run it manually and it appears to run for a few seconds then stops and still has the status of "never run". I don't get any error messages and can't find anything in the log. I am wondering if this is related to the server rename? I am hoping to find a soultion that doesn't involve uninstalling SQL Server and reinstalling since this is a production environment.

Thanks.

Snapshot Agent Fails For Merge Replication Publication

Nov 9, 2006

I'm trying to setup merge replication and get the following error from the snapshot agent after I've finished the 'New Publication Wizard'. This doesn't make sense to me as it is an automatic process. Also, it looks like it is complaining about a 'dbo.MSmerge_cont...' view which is a view created automatically for the merge publication.

Unable To Re-create Snapshot Of Existing Publication Due To Missing Publisher's Identity Range Allocation Entry

Jul 21, 2006

I re-created a publication that was having problems and it gives this error when I start the snapshot agent from SQL Server Management Studio:  I am stuck on how to resolve - any ideas?

"The publisher's identity range allocation entry could not be found in MSmerge_identity_range table.  Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates that a commit or ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement is missing.  Previous Count = 1, current count = 2."

select * from MSmerge_identity_range returns 19 entries but I don't know how to fix. 

I have tried deleting and re-creating but always get this error.

My other publications and subscriptions are working fine and I was able to create a new test publication that worked but can not get this one to work that worked fine up until today. 

 Any ideas?

Obsolete Table Columns

Feb 4, 2005

When I find that a column should no longer be used because of design changes. ( Moved column to other table to correct design normalization etc.)

I added a check to make sure the column must be NULL.

The following list the obsolete columns

SELECT col.TABLE_NAME + '.' + col.COLUMN_NAME AS FULL_COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS col
JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE ccu
ON col.COLUMN_NAME = ccu.COLUMN_NAME AND col.TABLE_SCHEMA = ccu.TABLE_SCHEMA AND col.TABLE_NAME = ccu.TABLE_NAME
JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHECK_CONSTRAINTS cc
ON ccu.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA = cc.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA AND ccu.CONSTRAINT_NAME = cc.CONSTRAINT_NAME
WHERE IS_NULLABLE = 'YES' AND cc.CHECK_CLAUSE = '([' + col.COLUMN_NAME + '] IS NULL)'
ORDER BY col.TABLE_NAME, col.COLUMN_NAME


In the past columns could not be set to null.
This script list those columns that I need to add null checks to.

SELECT col.TABLE_NAME + '.' + col.COLUMN_NAME AS FULL_COLUMN_NAME, cc.CHECK_CLAUSE
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS col
JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE ccu
ON col.COLUMN_NAME = ccu.COLUMN_NAME AND col.TABLE_SCHEMA = ccu.TABLE_SCHEMA AND col.TABLE_NAME = ccu.TABLE_NAME
JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHECK_CONSTRAINTS cc
ON ccu.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA = cc.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA AND ccu.CONSTRAINT_NAME = cc.CONSTRAINT_NAME
WHERE cc.CHECK_CLAUSE LIKE '([[]' + col.COLUMN_NAME + '] =%' AND
NOT cc.CHECK_CLAUSE LIKE '% OR %' AND
NOT cc.CHECK_CLAUSE LIKE '% AND %' AND
NOT cc.CHECK_CLAUSE LIKE '% IS %' AND
NOT cc.CHECK_CLAUSE LIKE '% IN %'
ORDER BY col.TABLE_NAME, col.COLUMN_NAME

Cube Has Been Updated By The Server, Data Is Now Obsolete

Mar 22, 2004

Client issues query which sends out individual requests to the 2 OLAP servers that are load balanced. The client evaluates the versions of the returned record sets to ensure the consist data being returned for one single query. Otherwise, this error will be seen:

The cube has been updated by the server the data is now obsolete.

These servers sit behind a cisco 11506 CSS with load balancing based on balance type: least busy server, also persistence based on cookies.

My developer says this worked fine for a long time then just 'started happening'.

any suggestions are appreciated.

Can Not Delet A Publication In SQL Server 2005: The Publication Does Not Exist [SQL Server Error: 20026]

Sep 21, 2007

Hi, everyone,
I am new in SQL server 2005. I had setup SQL server 2005 P2P replication. Somehow it did not work one of two way replication. I tried to delete the publication. However I could not do it. have the same problem. When I tried to delete the publication, I got the publication " " does not exist.[SQL server error: 20026]. I tried to use sp_droppublication, it gave me error "the database is not enabled for publication". Nevertheless, I can see the publication in MS SQL Management Studio and Publication monitor with OK status. I could not find the distribution database either.

Could you anyone has ideas to delete this publication? I am sorry I am not a programmer. Please give me more detail explanation if you can. Thanks.

Problem When Applying A Snapshot When Tables Have Been Updated During Snapshot Generation

Jun 20, 2007

Hi

I seem to have a strange problem when applying a snapshot when the tables in the publication have been updated while the snapshot was being generated.



Say for example there is a table called RMAReplacedItem in the publication. When the snapshot starts being applied to the subscriber, a stored procedure called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedItem_msrepl_css gets created that handles an insert if the row already exists (ie it updates the row rather than inserting it). However, after all the data has been loaded into the tables, instead of calling this procedure, it tries to call one called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedIte_msrepl_cssm - it takes the last letter of the table name and adds it to the end of the procedure name.



The worst part is that this causes the application of the snapshot to fail, but it doesnt report what the error is, and instead it just tries applying the snapshot again. The only way i have managed to find which call is failing is to run profiler against the subscriber while the snapshot is being applied and see what errors.



I have run sp_broswereplcmds and the data in there is what is applied to the subscriber - ie the wrong procedure name.



All the servers involved are running sql 2005 service pack 2. The publisher and subscriber were both upgraded from sql 2000, but the distribution server is a fresh install of sql 2005.

Unable To Add New Publication

Jun 2, 2006

I have been wrestling with this one all day and cannot find anything on MSDN, google, etc.... I have configured replication, but cannot create a new publication either programmatically or using the wizard.
I programmatically did the following:
1. I set up my local server as a distributor, and created a distribution database (@distributor set to server sysname)
execute sp_adddistributor @distributor = @distributor
execute sp_adddistributiondb @database = @distributionDB, @security_mode=1;
2. I registered my local server also as a Publisher (@publisher set to server sysname, @distribution = 'distributor')
SELECT @sql = 'sp_adddistpublisher @publisher = ''' + @publisher +
''', @distribution_db = ''' + @distributionDB +
''', @working_directory = ''' + @directory + ''', @security_mode = 1'
SELECT @sp_executesql = quotename(@distributionDB) + '..sp_executesql '
EXEC @sp_executesql @sql
3. I enabled my local database for transactional replication (@replicationDB)
exec sp_replicationdboption
@dbname = @replicationDB,
@optname = 'publish', @value = 'true
4. I added a logReaderAgent on the ReplicationDB
SELECT @sql = 'sp_addlogreader_agent @publisher_security_mode = 1'
SELECT @sp_executesql = quotename(@replicationDB) + '..sp_executesql
EXEC @sp_executesql @sql

All is well up to this point, no problems, all looks great. When I check the status of things using sp_help repl stored procedures to check on publisher, distributor all looks healthy. Also looks good when I use the SSMS replication interface to check on distributor, publisher, etc. . HOWEVER...... I cannot create any publications.

I tried programmatically, and also by using the wizard.
I keep getting the same error :'Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'pubid', table'.
This is the sql I try to run:
EXEC sp_addpublication
@publication = 'test3333',
@status = N'active',
@allow_push = N'true',
@allow_pull = N'true'
This is the error:
Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_MSrepl_addpublication, Line 1320
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'pubid', table 'CypressMaster.dbo.IHpublications'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
Msg 14018, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSrepl_addpublication, Line 1348
Could not create the publication.
If I use the wizard instead of trying to create the publication programmatically, I get this error (just about the same content, but a little different wording):

hi
I was following the walkthrough "Creating a Mobile Application with SQL Server Mobile" and when I got to the point where you create a "local publication" I couldn't find the link "Local Publication" in my Object Explorer.

I read all the help in books online however id did not tell me how to bring that link there.

I did install the replication component using the CD installation. I have SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and Visual Studio 2005


I also found the help "Using the Publication Wizard to Create a Publication" but did not know where to locate or start the wizard.

any help will be appreciated.

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.2050.00&EvtSrc=Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.PubWizardErrorSR&EvtID=CantConnect&LinkId=20476

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

SQL Server replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, ''. (Replication.Utilities)

------------------------------
BUTTONS:

OK
------------------------------

I am specfing the server name but it still brings back the same error, the message at the bottom also stats to try and connect to '' which of course is impossible.
This is a domain controller if that makes any difference, SQL 2005 SP2, Win 2003 STD.

Thanks

Modifying Publication In SQL 7.0- Urgent Help .

Jul 31, 2002

Hello ,

I want to drop a table from a publication , so that i can copy some data from another server . After the copy , i want to add the article or the table back again to the publication without making any changes to the subscribers configuration .

Is it really possible on SQL 7.0 ? Right now it does not allow me to copy the data to the published table or even drop the article (table) and it says that the article is published for replication and cannot be dropped or modified .
The table is configured for transactional replication .

I will have to drop the entire publication and create all the subcribers again .

Any help in this regard please .

Merge Publication Error

Mar 7, 2001

Hi,
I disabled a merge publication on my server. I then ran sp_removedbreplication to clean the system tables. Thats fine. When I recreate a new publication on my server now, I still get the red x on my publisher node in my replcation monitor from the error I was getting before. Evenm though this publication is error free. Is it saving an srror flag in one of the sytem tabbles

Any ideas on this?
Thanks

Disabling Publication Using SQL DMO. URGENT!!!!!!!!

Oct 29, 1999

Hi,
I'm using DMO (SQLOLE65.dll) to programmatically replicate selected publications. The Publication object supports a property called Enabled, which can be set to FALSE. I'm setting the enabled property to TRUE for those publications that need be replicated, and make the others FALSE. Still, all publications get replicated. [I give DoAlter to commit the changes i made.]
Any solution,Please mail me ASAP to venkateswaranb@synectics.soft.net

Thanks,
Venkat

How To Reboot A Publication Server ?

Jul 16, 2004

We have to add some hardware and I was wondering if someone could provide a stepwise tip to do it .

It is a 3 Server Environment Pub/Dist/Sub
All three running under SQL2K
Here is what I am planning.

a. Uncheck the Enable in Distributed Agent for each replication
b. Wait for all replications to complete
c. Shut down Publisher ? Or do I have to do something else before that.

Please explain a little .

Thanks
