Transactional Publication With Updatable Subscriptions
Apr 24, 2007
Hi to evebody.
I'm working with the transactional publication with updatable subscriptions provided by SQL Server 2005. The replication works pretty good from the publisher to the subscriber, but I'm having some problems when the data must go from the subscriber to the publisher.
When I do an update in a subscriptor's table, the database engine shows the following error:
21064 - 16 - The subscription is unavailable for immediate updating because it is marked for reinitialization. Try again after the reinitialization completes.
And rollbacks the transaction.
Does anybody knows what to do to solve this problems.
The publisher is a Windows XP with the SQL Server 2005 Developer edition with SP2
The subscriber is a Windows 2003 Server with SQL Server 2005 Developer edition without SP2
I'm using also the inmediate updating subscriptions. Both operative systems have the MSDTC runing.
Thank you in advance.
Sebastian.-
PS: Sorry about my english, it's been a long time without using it.

Subscription to "Transactional Publication with Updateable Subscriptions" works only one way. Changes take effect on subscriber, but the subcriber is unable to update data on publisher.
I have Sanpshot Agent process running under SQL Server Agent service account with login 'sa.' All agents are running at the Distributor (Publishing Server.)
The subscriber is unable to connect to the Distributor using the SQL Server login.
Following is the error message I get:
Creating Subscription(s)...
- Creating subscription for 'SQL3' (Warning)

So, Microsoft decided that they were deprecating Transactional Replication with Updatable subscriptions. In that case, you have 2 options (if I am correct): Pay for Enterprise (if you are already not) and use peer-to-peer or use bidirectional transactional replication which is basically setting up a transactional from db1 to db2 and also transactional from db2 to db1.
The issue I see in both cases is conflict resolution. With updatable subscriptions, you could specify how to handle the conflict. With either of these 2 options (from what I can tell) you cannot allow the engine to handle this for you.
Any thoughts? Seems like a slap in the face to those who have been using MS for years and a damn good reason for companies that rely on updatable subscriptions to not upgrade to 2012.

Hi all,
I have a problem with "Updatable Subscriptions" under concurrent transactions on both pub and sub effecting same data. At high level of concurrency it Subscriber starts giving error msg "Rows do not match between Publisher and Subscriber. Run the Distribution Agent to refresh rows at the Subscriber.".Please tell me any way arround for this.

I have been trying to set up replication with updateable subscriptions. I first followed the tutorial on MSDN and set up basic transactional replication. This all worked fine. I then tried, using that tutorial as a basis, to set up replication with updatable subscriptions.
On the Agent Security page you are asked for a Snapshot Agent, a Log Reader Agent and a Queue Reader Agent. I assigned these to the following accounts, which I created and added as logins, PUBLISHERSERVER
epl_snapshot, PUBLISHERSERVER
epl_logreader and PUBLISHERSERVER
epl_queuereader.
I then tried to set up a subscriber on SUBSCRIBERSERVER. Under the publication I add new subscriber, select the publisher, add SUBSCRIBERSERVER as the new SQL server Subscriber. In the Distribution Agent Security page of the wizard it asks for process account, which will be run when synchronizing the subscription. I entered PUBLISHERSERVER
epl_distribution here and selected the other two default options of connecting to the distributor and subscriber by impersonating the process account. I then took the default options for the next few screens and finally get to:
Login for updateable subscriptions. This offers the option of a login or using a linked server. I have tried various logins here, initially trying the €˜sa€™ login and password. This produced the error: The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. The servers are set up for mixed mode operation. I then tried PUBLISHERSERVER
epl_distribution and subsequently every other account I had created on PUBLISHERSERVER. All of these failed. I tried linking the servers, but this also failed. How exactly do you set up subscriber with the ability to login to the publisher? I have spent days trying to set this up, and am as you can gather new to this technology, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have created a publication for sql server 2005 Mobile Edition subscriber,
I need to add another Publication/merge replication on the same tables,
Scenario:
-Server A and mobile devices (publication for sql server 2005 Mobile Edition subscriber)
-The same Server A send data "1 way direction" to Server B by merge replication publication.
NB: My Tables are updatble in both publications.
Any idea?

Hi All,
I have a problem replicating data from Subscriber to Publisher.
I configured Queued updatable subscriptions in transactional replication. Publisher is on SQL Server Standard edition and Subscriber is on SQL Server Express edition, both on Windows XP.
When I insert/update data in publisher, the data is replicated to subscriber. If I insert/update data on subscriber the data is not replicated. When I see the replication monitor for errors, it shows an error "Cannot load a DLL xprepl.dll or one of its resources".
Could any one give me a solution or please tell me if I missing something?
Thanks you all,
Ravi.

This may be a simple answer, but I was wondering when setting up transactional replication with updatable subscriptions why does this error occur?
Error:
The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "REPLLINK " was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
Changed database context to 'MyDB'.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "REPLLINK" returned message "No transaction is active.". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I've looked for MSDTC security documents and checked every box in the security dialog and selected the 'No Authentication Required€™. MSDTC and SQL Agent are running as NETWORKSERVICE user. I also setup permissions on each individual DCOM Objects for SQL Server. And MSDTC service is running. Both Servers are SQL Server 2005 Standard and Windows 2003 R2. The publisher is on the same box as the distributor. No domains or trusts setup on either. This error occurs when changing data on the subscriber.
Thanks,
Patrick

I have just started getting the following error from the queue reader but I can't see why.
The Queue Reader Agent has encountered the error ''Row handle is invalid.'' when connecting to ''Database'' on ''ServerName''. Ensure that the publication and subscription are defined properly and that both servers are running.
Does anybody know what it means / how I can fix the problem?
Thanks

Sql Server 2000
I am looking for bidirectional transactional replication using updatable subscribers (queued or immediate) . Is it possible to replicate the image data from the updatable subscribers to the publisher. I understood that the Image data can't be replicated to the publisher from the updatable subscriber. I am not using the WRITETEXT or UPDATETEXT. I am using just INSERT and UPDATE for image data type transactions.
Any thoughts on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

If I have one table in one publication in transactional replication
replication between primary and replicate is broken because subscription is marked as inactive.
If there are 3 rows on replicate and 5 rows on primary , out of which 2 are added after replication is broken
If I do
Reinitialize subscriptions
start the snapshot agent
start the distribution agent
Does this mean that it will only transfer the new 2 rows to replicate sites ? or will it drop everything from replicate site and apply all rows from primary site on to replicate.
Any help is appreciated

Hello,
We are new to replication and are testing it in our development environment. We have a peer-to-peer transactional publication on our three servers. The single table in the original publication replicated fine to the two subscribing servers. We next added a new table (article) to the publication. Adding it to the original publication worked fine but the table did not replicate to the other servers. (We previously had changed the schema of the original table and the schema changes replicated properly.) We attempted to recreate the snapsnot using the "View Snapshot Agent Status" option. Clicking the Start button resulted in the display of this message: "[0%] A snapshot was not generated because no subscriptions needed initialization."
This seems odd because a new table was added to the publication and Microsoft help states that the snapshot must be rebuilt. I have read other topics that refer to a @immediate_sync property that must be set to zero. I'm not sure if this is our problem or even how to set this value. Meanwhile, the other servers, as viewed through the Replication Monitor, are complaining that their snapshots do not match the publication snapshot.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
BCB

I have configured transactional publication where some tables have a simple row filter. And I made a supscription to this publication. When I make snapshot and replication initialization, all rows are updated correctly and passed to subscriber. But when I change some column at a row included by filter at publisher, it is never updated on the subscriber. Other tables and that same table when I remove filter is updated correctly.
What can be problem?
I am using SQL Server 2005 Standard for publisher, and SQL Express 2005 for subscriber, both with SP2.
Any help would be apritiated.
Thanks,
Tomas

Replication Type: Transactional With Updateable Subscriptions
SQL Server Version: SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition
Publisher, Subscriber1 and Subscriber2 all on same SQL Server
Problem: I am trying to set up a transactional replication with two updateable subscriptions. All three databases are a carbon copy of each other. Every table to be replicated contains an identity key column. I've been asked to create the replication without assigning separate identity ranges for the publisher and the updateable subscriptions. In other words they want a continous ID range. Can this be done without managing identity ranges programatically outside of SQL Server itself?
Example:
Publisher inserts into table test1 in database1. This creates ID 100 for the record. ID 100 replicates to Subscriber1 (database2) and Subscriber2 (database3).
Subscriber1 and 2 identity seeds are then incremented to ID 100. So far, all three databases have the same identity seed in table test1. Subscriber1 inserts into table test1 in database2. This creates ID 101 for the record. ID 101 is replicated to Subscriber2 (database3) and to the publisher (database1).
Subscriber2 identity seed is then incremented to ID 101. However, the Publisher retains it's original identity seed of 100.
Insert into Publisher table test1 will fail since it will try to insert the identity seed of 101 which is taken.
I have tried identity range management Automatic and Manual. Both seem to have some limitations in managing identity seeds unless different identity ranges are assigned for publisher and subscriber.
Can someone recommend a solution to this problem? Can this be done natively in SQL Server 2005 replication. Or can some recommend another approach to make this work?

I have an existing publication in sql 2012 with 2 articles, and then I add 2 more articles. After that when I generate a snapshot, will the snapshot be generated for 2 new articles only or for all 4 articles?
I remember adding 1 new articles to one existing publication with 150 articles and when I generated snapshot, it was generated only for 1 article. But I don't remember clearly.
Does it behave differently for small and large number of articles?

I have automated process, which synchronizes a transactional publication using initialize from backup approach. It drops subscriptions and puts them back again once the restore on the subscriber is completed.
Dropping the subscriptions causes a lot of blocking and deadlocking. I've decided to remove those steps, but it causes loss of data on the subscriber.
Is it a must to drop and re-create the subscriptions during such process? If not, how can I avoid the loss of data?

Hi,
Transactional replication allows updatable subscriptions where changes at the subscriber are replicated up to the publisher, this can happen via Immediate Updating subscriptions, Queue subscriptions and P2P (new in SQL 2005), all forms of Transactional replication.
Any compared document between merge replication and Transactional with updatable subscribtion ?

Has anyone seen this error? It comes up when my app executes a select statement via linked server (from MSSQL 2000 to 2005) the second time it runs. It's basically a timed poll of tables in the remote database. It works once but the second time it executes I get the error from the remote db, it's just a select but I guess the cursor is still open so it can't run again. After the exception the select will run again, once and it just repeats. I have researched it a little and it looks like it mostly has to do with the isolation level of the transaction. Unfortunately based on the componet being used to access the database I don't beleive I have the ability to use transact SQL to call the isolation level (s) listed.
Here's the weird part though, at another site the same scenario is running fine. Same primary and remote db versions of MSSQL as well as the application and it runs fine. I guess my question is what type of setup parameters that may be defined in MSSQL 2005 for the remote database might make it behave in this manner in one instance and not the other? TIA in advance for any thoughts/assistance.

Greetings,
We periodically get the following message in our three server peer-to-peer transactional replication environment:
"One or more subscriptions have been marked inactive. Drop and re-create all subscriptions for this node that are failing with this error."
What causes a subscription to be marked inactive? What properties or settings can be adjusted to minimize or eliminate this occurrence?
Everthing seems to be running OK and then we get the message. It afflicts the higest change volume publication on our slowest overseas server.
Thanks,
BCB

I doubt this is possible, but can someone think of a way to change the email address used for sending report subscriptions based on the report or subscription?
It's a need that I've heard from a number of different clients. Scenario: a company has one reporting services server with reports running from numerous departments. Report subscriptions are sent to internal and external email addresses and there's a business need to use different "from" addresses based on the report (or audience).

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.

I have a fairly complicated data import that needs to be done, but the table structures of the two databases don't match up too neatly. I thought I'd be clever, and create a view in the target database, and import into that view -- only to find out (after reading the manual) that multi-table views are not updatable and cannot be used with BULK INSERT or bcp.
I'm not a database pro, I'm a programmer thrust into this role. Needless to say, I'm a bit of a newbie on these things!
Anyway, the view's code:
<pre>
CREATE VIEW dbo.RJ2_V_Client_Import
AS
SELECT Clients. IDENTITYCOL, Clients.CompanyName,
Clients.Address1, Clients.Address2, Clients.StateID,
Clients.City, Clients.Zip, Clients.CountryID, Clients.PhoneMain,
Clients.PhoneFax, Clients.WebAddress,
Clients.ParentCompany, Clients.DivisionDepartment,
People.NameFirst, People.NameLast,
People.AddressPrimary1, People.AddressPrimary2,
People.CityPrimary, People.StatePrimaryID,
People.ZipPrimary, People.CountryPrimaryID,
People.PhoneWork, People.PhoneWorkExtension,
Clients.EnteredDate, Clients.UserLevelID, Clients.Revenue,
Clients.NumberOfContractors, Clients.SICCode,
Clients.Industry, Clients.ReceptionistName
FROM Clients INNER JOIN
People ON Clients.BillingPersonID = People.PID
</pre>
The reason there is a "People" table is because several (SEVERAL) tables in this database contain records for people, and we felt that this was a better design because of it.
The data we're trying to import contains records for billing contacts, which are the People.* fields referenced. It's extremely important that we get this data in the system.
Since BULK INSERT is out, are there any workarounds? There's got to be some kind of non-manual solution, since I know other people have to do imports that start as one table and end up in two ...
For this particular set, I could do it manually -- only two records are affected. BUT, for future sets, I can't do it manually -- literally thousands of records will be affected, and I just don't have the time (or inclination) to do the entry ... Plus, think of the potential error rate!
Thanks in advance
John

I got an error as follows:
Derived table 'A' is not updatable because a column of the derived table is derived or constant.
when I tried to run this query:
update A set MonthsUnbilled =99999888
FROM (select MonthsUnbilled from dbo.vw_MasterView

This is a simplified query in order to pinpoint the culprit. I know I don't need to use a derived table if the real query is this simple.

Hello, There are 2 questions that I interested in:Q1: We are planning to scale out SQL Server 2005 with Transactional Replication and use the following topology:NodeA: PublisherNodeB: Publishing Subscriber of NodeANodeC: Subscriber of NodeBIf it is necessary to allow update on NodeC, is it possible to set NodeC as an updatable subscriber? BOL states that Updatable Subscriptions do not support republishing data. But I'm not sure whether it is applicable to these case. Please advice.Q2:In SQL Server 2005 BOL, in claim that "Standard transactional replication assumes read-only Subscribers and is
hierarchical in structure: typically a single Publisher publishes data
to one or more Subscribers. Standard transactional replication also
supports a republishing hierarchy: updates are delivered from a
Publisher to a set of republishing Subscribers, who in turn deliver
updates to a final set of leaf-node Subscribers. Updating
subscriptions offer the ability for Subscribers to push changes back to
the Publisher, but the arrangement is still hierarchical because
changes follow the hierarchical structure when moving between
Subscribers and Publishers. ..." in the topic "Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication" Could somebody describe how Subscribers push back changes to Publisher in hierarchical structure? Could Republisher setup in the "hierarchical" structure or topology as a middle-node (Not a leaf node nor root node)?Thanks a lot.Terence

Hi,
In the SQL92 Specifications i read the foloowingf statement...
"All base tables are updatable. Derived tables are either updatable or read-only. The operations of insert, update, and delete are
permitted for updatable tables, subject to constraining Access
Rules. The operations of insert, update, and delete are not allowed
for read-only tables."
But i am concentrating on the below line from the above written lines,
"Derived tables are either updatable or read-only."
I want to ask that is derived tables are updatable or not??? if yes then how,???i tried the following querry but its not working...

Hi all,
I am planning replication around a large SQL Database Server; 3 databases need to be replicated for reporting purposes.
My plan was to use Transaction Replication, as the Reporting database will be mostly read-only. However, we must add a whole bunch of additional, historical data to some of the tables of the reporting database that does not exist in the Publisher. I understand that changes can be made to subscriptions in Transaction Replication scenarios, ideally when the changes are few and far between. (Merge replication is excessive for our purposes.)
I don't want the additional historical data to be propagated back to the publisher. Is it possible that data is written to a subscriber in a Transactional Replication scenario without writing these updates to the Publisher? Given the nature of the data, there will not be conflicts between the historical data and the new changes applied from the publisher.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Faraz
