Web Synchronization For Merge Replication.
Mar 5, 2007
Hi..
At first I want to explain my Problem:
We have an SQL Server 2005 Database in our company. We develope an Application for customers (with VC#.NET 2005) which uses SQL 2005 Express as local database. The Application tests some devices and creates a protocoll .
As you see, the local databases must always load the actual test infos from main database (server). And the server Database must load and combine protocoll rows from different local databases (or local database must send it).
How can I solve this problem?
I could use a remote connection over tcp/ip. but it would not be reliable. I read some Info about Web Synchronization for Merge Replication. Is it possible to replicate just selected tables (one-direction (from server to client)). And is it possible replicate different client tables and combine the rows of them in server table (one direction from client to server).
I hope I could explain it. Any idea? Thanks..

IIS8 running on Windows Server 2012R2 with SQL Server 2012 SP2 installed. I have installed SQL Compact 3.5 SP2 Server Tools (64-bit) and set up the configuration. But when I in IE type URL.... I have set up the NTFS restrictions to the virtual directory. Doesn't Web Synchronization Works with IIS8?

I am trying out merge replication and using web synchronization.However, I am worried that I am missing something because the way it is set up, it strikes me as a bit too insecure.
According to the best practices and security articles on Technet, I am given to understand that:
The SQL Replication Listener (read: the application pool account that will be running the replisapi.dll) has to be the db_owner to both distribution and publisher and be on the PAL list. Windows authenication should be used. That means the merge agents wouldn't need to know the password for those logins.
The basic authenication can be used (with SSL) to authenicate into a Windows user account to then connect to the replisapi.dll.
Here's the rub - I assumed that all I needed was a basic no-rights user account to be then given the execute permission on the replisapi.dll & read permissions to kick off the process. When I browse to the replisapi.dll and authenicate using the no-rights user, I get the expected "SQL Server WebSync ISAPI" message. But when I then run the merge agent, it fails saying that login to the distribution failed for the no-rights user. If I use the application pool's account, then I am able to run merge agent successfully.
But that means I am now looking at storing the password to the application pool account on client. I might have had missed a crucial step to ensure that the logins to the distribution & publication databases are done using the application pool account, not the user authenticated via IIS basic authentication?

I am running SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server CE on the handheld device. I have created the publication on the SQL Server.
I can subscribe to the publication successfully on the handheld and it creates the .sdf file just fine.
When I then attempt to synchronize, the process will run for a long time and eventually error out. (The database has a couple large data tables that are used for value lookups)
The error says the connection was broken.
Any suggestions on correcting this?
I am thinking of breaking the replication database into 2. One with the large lookup files and one with the updated tables. I still need to get the large database with the lookup tables onto the handheld though.
Any thoughts, advice or similar experience handling a situation as this would be appreciated.
thanks,
Dan

I'm trying out a set up as following:
SQL Server 2008 standard as the publisher
SQL Server 2012 express as the subscriber
and I tend to use web synchronization; there is no domain trust.
After following the instructions at MSDN for configuring web synchronization, I have an error that I can't get past - after creating the initial snapshot on the publisher, I try to run replmerg.exe at the subscriber and I always get this error:
"The subscription to publication 'TestReplication' has expired or does not exist."
If I refresh the publisher's "Local Publications" and look within the "TestReplication", it does show that the subscriber is a known subscriber. Likewise, if I refresh subscriber's "Local Subscription", it has an entry for TestReplication publication.
I already verified that the user used by Replisapi.dll has the read permission to the snapshot folder, is a member of PAL, is db_owner of the publishing database and distribution database. I am using self-signed certificate for this test and I have already installed the certificate at the subscriber machine so that HTTPS is trusted. I can run diagnosis from subscriber so I know subscriber can reach and logs are being left at the publisher's IIS.

Hi I want to Set up Such Merge Replication, Which can can Synchronize With out Network, Means Syncronization using CD.
Also When the Network connectivity will be available then it should do synchronization
I wants to transfer some file using CD only those changes to database which hasn't been synchronized, thats why Backup will not work.
Pls Help me, or tell me wether it is possible or not.
Tell me some work around, or ask me details,
You got to help me out, Otherwise I will loss trust in MSDN Forums.
Thanks in advance

I'm updating some tables in a subscriber database with a stored procedure. After the tables get updated I'd like to sync them with the other subscriber dbs and the publisher db in that same stored procedure.I can do it manually in SSMS with the View Synchronization method. Are my only alternatives a batch job or C#?

Hi!
I've the following replication topology:
SrvA (Publisher/Distributor) -> (Transactional Publication/Push Synchronization) -> SrvB (Subscriber, Publisher/Distributor) -> (Merge Publication/Pull Synchronization via HTTPS for remote clients) -> Client (Anonymous Subscriber)
To test synchronization with this tier I do the following:
1. Update data on SrvA
2. Push changes to SrvB (there are transactions that replicated)
3. Run RMO Merge Agent (.NET application) on Client and get messsage "No data needed to be merged", although there were changes made on publisher SrvA and SrvB
I saw the thread where similar problem have been discussed (http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=664153&SiteID=17). The sugestion there was to create subscription using wizard rather then T-SQL script. But all my clients are remote and have only HTTPS connection to the IIS over 443. And in the MSDN there was the script that I used to create pull subscription for web synchronization.
Guys, HELP! I almost gave up - do not see the reason for the case in the documentation, settings and code.
Thank you.
Alexander.

Hello,
We have an environment with 7 servers that are running replication with one another and I'm wondering if there are any tools or experiences that any of you might have that may assist in the auditing of these servers. The data should be in synch accross the boards for all tables, but sometimes problems can arise such as replication not being set up properly, stored procedure's being out of synch, or data gliches etc.
In dealing with these issues we have an in-house written program which analises each table on each server and takes a snapshot and does column by column compare. We also have another program that will synch the data up (basically a delete/insert statement on the publisher). This process can take up to 3 weeks for our quarterly update of every table. I'm wondering if anybody has used any tools such as in SSIS or a third party tool and has done or is doing something similar to what we are doing now. If so, are there any tips you wouldn't mind sharing on how our process might be sped up?
Thanks,
Phil

Hi all,
I know that adding a column using ALTER TABLE to add a column automatically allows SQLSERVER 2005 to replicate the schema changes to the subscribers, however, I would like to add a new column to an existing article that is being used for merge replication, however, I don't want this column to be replicated. Re-initialising the subscriptions is not a option. Help would be appreciated.
I am using SQLSERVER 2005 (SP1).

I am working on bringing our disaster recovery site to be a live site. Currently we replicate to one of out servers (server B) with merge replication (from server A). Server A also does one way transactional replication form some table to several other servers including servers at the DR site.
This setup is not going to be fast enough for what we need so I am wondering if a table is receiving merge replication will the merge updates also replicate down the transaction path??
Example...
Server B update a row and merges to Server A. With this update them replicate (via transactional) to Server C??
thanks...

I have just installed replication on our production server to Merge Replicate with a Laptop server that will travel from time to time. I have now noticed that we cannot add or change any fields or attributes on the tables which are being replicated (which are all tables in the DB). This is a problem because we are changing and adding columns all of the time. Is there a way around this issue like shutting down the replication service or something? I have been unsuccessful in finding a way around this other than removing replication while we make changes.
Thank you in advance for any help!

Hi all,
I have a merge replication going between 4 servers. The problem is when ever I do some BCP transfer to one of the tables in one of the servers. It puts the data in that table. But that Data does not get replicated to any other server like it should.
Please Advice on what to do. Is there any option I am forgetting to set or something.
Thank you for all your time in advance.

Hi All,
I have posted this earlier and I am re-posting it simplifying what I had said.
The scenario is:
I have two sql server database instances with the same database schema and all. However, both of them have different data. I have not set them for replication at all. Now, I want to do merge replication between them such that the data between them could be syncronized.
When I do pull merge subscription I have two choices -
1.Bringing schema and data to subscriber from publisher
2.Not bringing the schema and data from publisher to subscriber.
Obviously, I chose the second choice. But upon syncronizing I dont see any data from publisher coming to subscriber and vice-versa. If I add new data to publisher and do syncronization, I can see ONLY the new data created after the replication setup in subscriber. If I add new data to subscriber and do syncronization then the new data is removed from subscriber and not propagated to publisher.
Is there any way I can make this work??

Hi,
I have just set up Merge replication, I have two servers, server A and server B, the merge replication worked successfully but I don't quite sure which databases should or should not replicated? If not, what other methods should I use?
I would really appreciated any comments or advice out there!

Hi everyone
SQL Server BOL says merge replication can be done in only one direction. But my understanding is Merge replication happens in both ways between publisher and subscriber.
How can i allow data movement from only wince sql ce subscribers and not from publisher running sql 2000 and win 2k.
Please reply immediately bcoz i require a solution which has to be implemented very soon.
Thanks in advance

I am in a process of learning Replication in MSDE, especially Merge Replication
Server runs on MS-XP Professional
--------------------------------------
I have a sample Access project 'ReplTest' which has only table with only 2 columns.
DatabaseName:ReplTestDB
Table Name :TestTable
MSDE Instance Name:SVRMYINSTANCE
Now I would like to know how I can configure this database for merge replication
using SQL-DMO
Laptop runs on MS-XP Professional
--------------------------------------
I have another access project which is running on computer 2 and connected to the
ReplicaTest database.
MSDE Instance Name:LPTMYINSTANCE
My task is, when I am disconnected from server I would like to have a local copy of
the database to work with and then, when reconnected, need synchronization with the
server database and continue working from server database.
How to write this replication process from scratch using SQL-DMO objects in both Server computer
and Laptop computer.
I dont have enterprise manager in both computers since they use only MSDE
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
