I have a Windows Mobile aplication that uses merge replication to synchronize between sql compact and full sql Enterprise edition and It works great. Instantiating the SqlCeReplication object setting it's properties and calling Synchronize on it is pretty simple assuming everything is setup properly at the publisher.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to do this on the desktop (Programatically setup a subscription and create a database using objects in the System.Replication Namespace and hopefully call Synchronize on it).
Someone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

HELP!!!
I need some urgent help. I'm managing merge replication between 12 servers. Today I had to make some changes in the database design, so I removed replication, altered the tables in question (on all servers)and created a new publication.
I choose the option that all subscribers have the data and the schema, but when I start the replication I get almost immediately an error "Invalid column name rowguidcol". But there is no column in my database with such a name. Further investigation brings up another message "xp_execresultset: unable to execute result set".
Can anyone please help me. The database should be ready by tomorrow.
TIA Markus

HI,
We have one publisher and 100 subscribers. And Subscribers again act as re-publisher for 3-4 win CE (Handheld) based device subscribers. Now. We have already done the setup and it is working fine.
Now due to some change in horizontal filters set in the publisher, we have change in publication. NOw whenever I make any change in publication, it says all subscribers will be marked for reinitialization and snapshot agent will run and new schema will be applied whenever next time merge agent runs.
But whenever I run the merge agent, the snapshot agent fails saying invalid column ... . I am not able to revert the changes as the same error persists even after bringing the publication back to the original state.
To add to the complexity, we have also used dynamic snapshots between publisher and suscribers.
So, Can anyone please tell me how can I change the publication script without deleting the subscribers?Any pointers in this direction are really appreciated.
Regards
Rahul
We have a publisher and 2 subsribers. The subscribers are spanning 2 transactions/sec. We have inplemented merge replication and it was scheduled to occur every 5 min. When we start the replication, the replications is going on without any problem for sometime(may be some hours), but after that it failes with the message, "the process could not deliver inserts at the publisher". We have SAN. When I searched for this error in google, it asked me to increase the queytimeout value in agent profile. So I increased it from 300 to 600, but in vain. If anybosy could help me in this, that would be great. Thanks, Preethi.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two databases A & B which have a merge replication between them. Both are live data. I wanted to alter table in db A, so i deleted subscription and altered the table from db A. After that i rebuilt the replication between A & B with initialization but now my replication fails. Every time i get different error messages..recently i get message of 'Subscriber failed to initialize'. Could anyone suggest how to resolve this? Urgent please.

Hi colleagues!
In trying to activate a merge replication between a Win2000/SQL7 distributor/publisher and a Win2003/SQL2000 subscriber I keep getting the following error:
Process could not enumerate changes at the subscriber (error 2812)
Merge publication works fine between the distributor and another subscriber (NT4/SQL7).
When i look at the details of the merge agent history i can see the process stopped with :
call sp_MSenumeratechanges(?,?,?,?,?)
I read article 308743 on microsoft/technet, and there they advise to install SP3a for SQL2000 on the subscriber. Ive done that but the error persists.
SQLServerAgent on the subscriber starts up with a local administrator account, the (physical) server itself is not a member of the local network; (outside the DMZ). The server is declared in the Client Network Utility of the distributor/publisher and is therefore known as a potential subscriber. In fact, the snapshot agent works perfectly (or so it seems).
Can anyone give me a helpfull hint?
Thanks!

Question re Merge rep (pull) and processing order.  We have a group of changes associated with an app upgrade, the scripts run fine on the publisher.   Part of the change includes creation of a new table , followed by altering a view to use new table.Following the change at the publisher, when the sync is kicked off from the subscriber, it fails - the alter of the view throws an'invalid object' error with regard to the new table. Seems as if the view alter is attempted before the dependant table has been created.Â
I have tried to amend the processing order of the view using sp_changearticle, which executes (quickly) with a 0 return code.But it is to no avail , the error still occurs.  is it possible to change the processing order for a view article , which will be applied to schema changes ? Have
We have SQL Server 2000 with merge replication at a Publisher and subscriber.
We have some records getting deleted at Publisher and Subscriber and no conflicts are logged.
We have tried the compensate_for_errors setting and this has had no effect.
This is causing serious data corruption and has now become an URGENT issue. Out tech team are almost out of ideas.
Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas as to what to check next?

Is there anyway to change the data type of a variable while in an expression?
My problem is I am trying to compare a variable w/ a string data type to a variable w/ an object data type. I would change the data type of the variable from object to string but if I do that my sql task fails when it tries to write a value to that variable. The variable w/ the object data type is the result of an openquery sql stmnt. So I guess there are two ways around my problem.
1. Change data type of variable while in an expression..ie flow constriant
or
2. Change data type of vraiable from object to string and still get the openquery result to work.
Any help???
Thanks !!
Hi.
I have tables (they are empty and there are no constraints) with columns typed as varchar. In a database I want to change the type of all the varchar columns in all the tables from varchar to nvarchar. What's the best way to do it? Can you suggest code?
I know that to get all the relevant columns I would issue a query like this
select *
from information_schema.columns
where data_type = 'varchar'
Then I would use a cursor... And that's exactly what I would not like to do. Is there any other way?
Thanx.

Hello,
I have a SQL update statement that updates some user names, however, the user names exceed the length of the data type. Currently, for the column username the data type is set to nvarchar (8).

thanks 4 ur rpl..well i have a simple doubt if u can guide me it will b gr8 help..well i am developing an application of location based services, in which i am going to store my data on SQLserver 2005 and will fetch the data from it when the user logs in to the user's PDA device so that a user can work offline on the data when there is no connection and when he gets the connection he can synchronize the data with SQLserver 2005. so now i m confuse whether i should use the merge replication or ado.net synchronization framework or RDA?what is the difference between merge replication and synchronization and which is better?
Dear ppl,
I have a question for you. One of our client has asked us how is the data secured over the air during Replication?
I have read that Merge Replication uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol to secure the data over the air. But I was wondering if it is all done automatically ? Or do we need to install certificates like for SSL.
We have a Windows Mobile 5.0 application using SQL Mobile that runs over 50 devices and they all synchronise with a single Publisher SQL Server 2005 using GPRS connection. We haven't got any SSL certificates installed on the server.
Now how can i make use of TLS in my application to secure my data over the air (using TLS)?

Thanks in advance.
We had merge replication setup between 2 tables, Table A and Table B using SQL 2000. This was working 100%. The users asked to disable updated/deletes to both these tables if data existed on 2 other tables. Table AA and Table BB. We implemented it as follows:
1) Created Insert/Update/Delete triggers for Table A & B. It basically check for Table A is there a record in Table AA, if it exists, raise an error and don€™t commit.
2) Removed all foreign constraints from Table AA and BB
3) Added Table AA and BB to the current replication.
Then all hell broke loose, we got conflicts all other the place saying that Table AA cannot be updated because records does not exist in Table X. To our surprise we found triggers generated by Erwin in 1998 €“ that check for €śforeign contsraints€? and removed them immediately.
We continued to get conflicts but could see from the error messages it was generated by the triggers in point 1. We added the NOT FOR REPLICATION clause and everything has been running smoothly or so we thought€¦..
After 2 months we got a call that data is missing. It€™s random data and the only explanation I have is that replication caused that. My biggest reason for saying this is tracking the application audit trail I€™ve found that all the data missing was added during the period we had all the conflicts.
I need a solid explanation for this and can anyone confirm that this is possible?
Hi All,
I am using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition fully patched. Database is in Simple Recovery mode.
I need to change a column's data type from "int(4)" to "smallint(2)". I know for sure that there will be no data (precision) lost, because I know the possible values that this column could have.
My problem is that the table I am dealing with has 600,000,000 records in it. I dropped all indexes before I tried to alter the table. But still it is taking forever and filling up my 280GB disk with transaction log file.
I know that in Oracle, if I want I can turn off logging and do these kind of modifications relatively faster.
I was wondering if there is a way of disabling logging before running this alter command.
What is the best practice to handle a situation of this sort?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,
