According to BOL, you can initialize a transactional subscriber by restoring the Publisher's backup to the Subscriber DB. But any timestamp columns must be converted to binary(8) and indexed views must be converted to tables. But are there other things you must do? What about identity columns? Triggers?
Thanks
I am having a problem creating a publisher.
I have a database, MobileApp, on a server called Server03, which is a subscriber to a database Stock on Server01. I create the database as a subscriber on Server01, and it gets replicated to Server03 correctly.
I now want to use MobileApp on Server03 as a publisher to mobile devices. I click to add a new publication, and add all the tables. I get all the way to the end, but when I click on finish, I get an error for each table - 'an article with a different subscriber_upload_options value already exists for object.
Any ideas please?
Thanks

I have a clustering between Server A and Server B. There is a clustered SQL Server installed.
Server A is a primary node(oltp production server) and Server B is a secondary node.
i've set up transactional replication betw serer A and B. Server A is Publisher and Server B is subscriber. B also has a distribution database. I use serve B for all the reporting purposes.
Currently both servers have sp1.
Now i want to apply sp2 to the server B first since i use it for reporting purposes (just to make sure there are no issues and then after some days i want to apply sp2 on server A which is my prodction oltp server)
So when i apply sp2 on server B , my publisher will have SP1 and subscriber (& distributor) will have sp2. Will this cause any issues with replication?
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks
hi,
I'm reading the MS online docs about replication. there's something not so clear until so far.
I have one central server and 7 client servers.
Sometimes new data is entered at one client server. This should be replicated (when client comes online) to the Central Server (merge replication).
Also, the other way, once the central server gets new data (that was replicated from a client), it should be again replicated to all 6 other clients (from the central server).
now, who should i configure as the distributor, publisher and subscriber?
Hello:
I am running an application on mssql 6.5, sp4.
We are working on using a database as a publisher and a remote database as a subscriber for one replication in Canada.
WE havw just been told that another application on a different server(publisher/ distribution) wants to replication to our database as a subscriber.
We also will need(as a publisher/distribution) to replication to a second subscriber database after we completely test the first replication to Canada.
Therefore my questions are:
1) Can a database on a local database -- our database -- on one server be a publisher and subscriber to ther different databases?
2)has any one been involved with replication on a database used both as a publisher and subscriber to different replications requirements?
What are the pitfalls aside from the scheduling conflicts?
3) In terms of database space requirements, how much disk space extra do we need? What guidelines should we use? For each table as an article, assuming we are doing the full table, do we add 100% more space or what?
4) Any other pitfalls we should be aware of?
Thanks.

Quisiera saber si se puede y como llevar a cabo la replicación con SQL 7 (Publisher) y SQL 2005 (Subscriber). Desde ya muchas gracias.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have replication setup between our main site and a remote one, and have recently noticed that the database at the remote site's .MDF file is about 3 times as large as the main site's. This doesn't seem to make sense since essentially all of our data is replicated between the two servers. Can anyone suggest why this might be happening and what is safe to do to shrink the remote file?
TIA

I have been looking for a way to replicate data from a DB2 system running on an AIX machine. I found some information related to doing this with SQL2000, but not with 2005. Can this be done - preferably without writing our own provider.
Thanks in advance
Hi Nerds
There are 2 production servers (SQL Server 6.5). One is publisher and the other one is subscriber. Data is replicated from publisher to subscriber which is a transaction based replication. Each day at 8:00PM data comes into publisher and the updations,replication,backup,reporting are carried out till 11:00AM next day. The subscriber server is used as a reporting server and the publishing server is used as the data warehouse server.
I want to cleanup a table on the publisher. Since it is replicated on the subscriber, can I do delete operation on the subscriber, make the subscriber server a publisher and the publisher server a subscriber, do replication from publisher(new) to subscriber(new) and again change publisher to subscriber and subscriber to publisher without affecting the production line of the databases. I have to do this between 11:00AM to 8:00PM.
Pranav.
We've got x2 data centers in the US:
NYC & SAC
Sadly the hostnames for the boxes I am trying to replicate are similar:
- db1.nyc.mydomain.tld
- db1.sac.mydomain.tld
The servers can talk to each other over all necessary ports however when I generate a push subscription from the publisher, I am asked to add the SQL Server subscriber and it already shows DB1 listed since itself is DB1.nyc. How can I attach the remote subscriber when setting up the subscription from the publisher if the hostname conflicts in my unique scenario?I created a entry on the publishers host file to use db2sac for the SAC IP and entering that alias in as the remote subscriber but no dice.
Hi Everyone,
I plan to do transactional replication. The publisher/distributor is sql2005 and subscriber is sql 2000. Is that possible. Because When I setup subscriber, I keep getting "The directory service is currently unavailable" in finding sql server replications.
Thank you in advance
For transactional replication, are there any issues and is it even possible to have 32-bit SQL 2000 publisher and SQL 2005 64-bit distributor and subscriber? Thanks

We have a SQL 2000 Server (publisher & distributor) with around 15 databases being replicated (all using merge replication).
My question is the following:
Is it possible to perform Merge replication from a SQL 2000 (acting as the publisher & distributor) to a SQL 2005 server acting as the Subscriber)?
If anyone has a link to any instructions somewhere that would be great.
Thanks

I have taken over a transactional replication setup that is being usedfor fault tolerance (I know, I know...).The scenario I am concerned with is where the publisher goes down due tofailure, so we need to point our application at the subscriber and startupdating the data there. We are not using the immediate updating option.How do I go about re-syncing the publisher with the data that been addedto, or changed on the subscriber, when the publisher comes back online?Thanks,TGru*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi Greg Y and seniors ones,
I am working with replication on sql server 2005 (standard edition sp1).There is scenario that some time one of the team of coders want to alter objects mostly tables being replicated on publication database but unable to do that due to error on adding column "Cannot add columns to table 'table1' because it is being published for merge replication.." in sql server 2000.
While other one want to alter replicated objects on subscriber end (like name of objects, add columns in replicated table etc).
We was working on sql server 2000 and for implementing this scenario I always use mechanism disabling/reconfigure the replication setup by the mean of long exercise.
After that, In order to alter the objects in publication database simple DDL script was executed after disabling the replication.
While manipulating the requirements on subscriber end, I created tables with same structure as replicated tables and replicate the data on self created tables by customizing code in triggers (ins_C9D57350-605A-4D87-85C0-0DB645F1CEC8 etc.) of replicated tables.
Also I have script of all replicated tables€˜s triggers but when I rerun snapshot agent it replaces the name of triggers with new one so at that time I lost my mind and I put code again in all tables€™ triggers. IS there any way to force sql server 2000/2005 generate and rerun snapshot but use already generated guid of articles instead created new one .
Let me know Plz, is there any solution/feature or any easy way in sql server 2005 to avoid this annoy exercised. I could implement this scenario.
Hi,
We are about to alter our replication architecture from
SQL 2K publisher/SQL 2K5 distributor/subscriber
to
SQL 2K publisher, seperate SQL 2K distributor and SQL 2K5 subscriber.
The subscriptions will be pulled from the distributor and pushed to the subscriber. Basically, all the work will be done by the distributor (in the hope of improving performance).
Has anyone had any experience of a similar architecture? All SQL servers are running with the latest service packs.

I have a primary and secondary servers both running Windows 2000 SP3 with SQL 2000 SP3. I have set up transactional replication with the primary server as publisher and the secondary server has the distributor and subscriber DB. I am testing the scenerio where my primary server goes down and I have to make updates to the secondary server until my primary server comes back up. I am able to update my subscriber database and the transactions go into the MSreplication_queue table to be pushed back to the primary when it comes back up. When I bring the primary server back up and start the queue agent job it starts pushing the transactions over and then stops after 4 or 5 transactions with the error "Failed while applying queued message to publisher". I have attached part of the log file for the agent below

I have a setup of transaction replication between one publisher and subscriber in the Same server.Now, I need to add a new subscriber to the existing publisher. So publisher database name is DB_A and Subscriber 1 name is DB_B. So the new subscriber will be DB_C. Is this kind of setup possible on one server?
If yes then at the time of reinitialization is it going to apply the snapshot on DB_B as well as DB_C?Also let say if due to disk error DB_B gets corrupted then will data be still replicated between DB_A and DB_C? (Assuming publisher, subscriber 1 and 2 are sitting on individual disks).
I have setup Transnational replication with updatable subscription.
There were around 7000 rows update at subscriber from one query which was executed at subscriber side.
But this update has not taken place at publisher yet and so to other subscribers.
Is there any way i can monitor pending log or where is the issue?
I find so many ways to see pending logs or statistics for - "Publisher to Subscriber" but not for "subscriber to publisher"
What is the way to see subscriber to publisher pending and issues?
For study effect, can I configure merge replication using just one SQL Server Instance?

Hi,
We have an existing merged replication schema that works well. One of the
tables is named audit. Currently this is a bidirectional transfer. However,
we want a new audit table that will transfer data from the subscriber to the
publisher and not the other way round. I have a script that was generated as a backup script when replication was first created. I have no idea which parameter to change in order to have the merge replication going from subscriber to publisher. Any advise is helpful. Thanks.
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?
Hi all,
here is the context of our problem:
- Publisher :
version SQL Server 2005 SP2
table in SQL Server 2000 (80) compatibility level
publication in SQL Server 2000 compatibility level
- Distributor : SQL Server 2005 SP2
- Subscriber : SQL Server 2000 SP4 + hotfixes (version 8.00.2187)
There is only one article in our publication (a simple table with a GUID and a nvarchar(50) columns), and we have left the default resolver.
1 - The first synchronization of the subscription is successfully completed, and it is the same for the different updates/inserts/deletes or conflicts.
2 - Then we change the Resolver of our article by our own COM-Based Custom Resolver (developped in C# 2.0). This resolver only change the default behaviour: the subscriber always win (this is for a test, in the future we will have a complex business logic). All the synchronizations works fine and do what we want in the conflicts.
3 - We rollback the resolver to the default one... and here is the problem!
The synchonizations stop to work correctly. For all of them we've got the same error:
Code SnippetReplprov.dll , 2007/09/25 14:26:07.591, 4000, 16890, S1, ERROR: ErrNo = 0x80045017, ErrSrc = <null>, ErrType = 8, ErrStr = The schema script '

It is no more possible to synchronize this subscription... Any remark will be helpfull cause we did not find anything on the net concerning this error.
Thanks a lot!
How to check if web merge sync is working between a subscriber and publisher thru HTTPS ? SQL port 1433 at subscriber is blocked so no direct connection to subscriber.

I have been experiencing "Specified cast is not valid" error while restoring backup of DB. Version of SQL server management tool from which I am taking the backup is "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (Intel X86) Jun 17 2011 00:57:23 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Express Edition with Advanced Services on Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (WOW64) (Hypervisor) ".

I have tried all the workarounds like TSQL, Upgrade the version of restoring DB to higher version, MDF and LDF files generation. But they are not working.
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a transactional replication from SQl Server 2005 to SQl server 2000. The Distributor and the publisher are on our server and the subscription is supposed to be on a SQL 2000 server on a different location. Before upgrading to 2005 I didn't have problems - the replication from 2000 to 2000 was working perfectly.
After I succesfully created the distributor and the publication the first problem that I encountered was that when I tried to create the subscription it was giving me an error that I cannot use an IP to acces the server. I realized to fix that issue by creating an Alias in the SQL Server Configuration Manager for the server where I wanted to create the subscription (a push subscription).
Now when I try to add the subscriber it gives me another message "Execute permission denied on object 'sp_MS_replication_installed', database 'master', owner 'dbo'" - so I cannot create the subscriber.
The user that I use to create the subscriber on the 2000 server is dbo for the subscriber database but it doesn't have rights on the master database. Also I realized that on the 2000 server I still have the old subscription but I cannot delete it - for the same reason - no access on the master database. Before upgrading to 2005 I had the exact same rights on the 2000 server.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
or is there any resource about it?
