We have several sites using SQLCE to merge sync. with an SQL 2005 server, and recently a large change was made at the server end. The sites now only seems to upload their changes, but are unable to download any server changes, and the sync fails with the following message (after about half an hour):
A call to SQL Server Reconciler failed. Try to resynchronize.
HRESULT 0x80004005 (29006)
The merge process was unable to create a new generation at the 'Publisher'. Troubleshoot by restarting the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write.
HRESULT 0x8004501E (0)
I would like to reinitialize the subscriptions using the option to upload any subscriber changes first, but I don't know exactly what this will do. Will it simply re-download the entire database, after uploading any recent changes? This is what I want it to do, but am unable to find any help telling me what exactly 'reinitialize subscription' does.
I was wondering how to reintialize one of many subscriptions under a publication... I know I can use sp_startpublication_snapshot to reinitialize all the subscriptions but how do you only reinitialize one subscription????
I have kind of unique situation. I am running Merge replication. In one of my publications I am only publishing procedures/functions/views. By design, these do not change that often, but when a programmability object changes, it is scripted in a way so that:
1. The article is dropped from the publication
2. the object is then changed
3. The article is added back to the publication
My question is: Is there a table or view that the subscriber or publisher can see that could tell me if reinitialization needs to occur. I am looking at adding an automated script at the subscriber that makes the determiniation and automatically reinitializes the subscription. My alternative is to force the subscriber to reinitialize every time when synchronizing with this publication, even if nothing has changed because the process has to be automated.
When trying to reinitialize a transactional replication subscription I am unable to select the "Generate the new snapshot now" checkbox. This seems to be happening only with SSMS 2014. When I connect to the same server from SSMS 2008 R2 I am able to select this checkbox.
I am getting continuous errors in publisher/distributor server
Background: Transactional replication (Push) with one publication (above 30 articles (tables)) and 1 subscriber. Publisher/Distributor is 2008r2 SP2 & Subscriber is 2008r2 sp1
Current Problem:
Repl-Distribution Message Replication-Replication Distribution Subsystem: agent PubServername-Production-ProductionReplication-Subscriberservername scheduled for retry (One of the replication job). Query timeout expired.
When I open the replication monitor..In the first tab it is showing performance excellent but when I double click on the publiscation, it is showing errors under distributor to subscriber tab and there are some undistributed commands 5873507, estimated time to apply these commands, based on last performance is 1:06:05:05
Question 1: Do I need to reinitialize the subscriptions? How to find out the problem what went wrong with replication
Question 2: If I want to do any schema changes @publisher do I need to stop the log reader agent and start after the deployment? In my case both publisher/distributor are on the same server (Transactional Replication)
I have a few databases that I replicate between NY and Greece. We utilize merge replication on all SQL 2000 servers. My question, is there a quick way to reinitialize replication besides pushing the initial snapshot? I would like to avoid the initial snapshot in the event of a failure due to the amount of time it takes to transfer over our 3mb ATM circuit.
I'm setting up Transaction Replication b/w SQL Server 2K and SQL Server 2K5. I have published Tables, Views and SPs as articles. When I try to modify the published Stored procedure, the changes are not replicated.
When I Reinitialize the Subscription and start the Snapshot agent, it is copying the changes
made. But all articles are reinitialized again, So it takes huge time to do this.
Is there any way to just reinitialize only the changed article? Or Is there any work around for this problem?
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.
I have a web sync merge publication with multiple anonymous subscribers. Unfortunately two of the subscribers have experienced errors as follows.
############################################### The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Subscriber for changes not yet sent to the Publisher. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload). (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199401) ###############################################
Now they successfully sync'd within the retention period so I am baffled as to why the cleanup has occured. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a way to reinitialize just a single subscriber. It seems that the only reinitialize option is across all subscribers, which I do not wish to do as they would loose any changes since last sync.
I've been trying to reinitialize the membership database, but something stops me. I have tried deleting aspnetdb.mdf from the App_Data folder. This works fine, and then a new one is created when I use the asp.net adminstration tool. I can use the server explorer to view the table content (all null). Although I can open the asp.net configuration page, the problem occurs when I select security. Then I get the error There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Database 'C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727asp.netwebadminfilesApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF' already exists. Could not attach file 'C:Documents and SettingsJeff LeeseMy Documentsworldmy workcurrentcounsellorApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF' as database 'ASPNETDB_devjeffleese'. All this seems to have happened after I modified my connection info in the web.config file: <connectionStrings> <remove name="LocalSqlServer"/> <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;
 AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;
 user instance=true;
 Integrated Security=True;
 Initial Catalog=ASPNETDB_devjeffleese;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> So, two questions: 1) What are the 
 sections about? They seem to have been inserted automatically at some point, and I wonder if its just formatting info or should I remove them? 2) How can I get security going again. How do I deal with the 'already exists' problem that prevents 'attaching' ? Would greatly appreciate guidance in how to start over...
It seems to me that if a scheduled SSRS report subscription fails ( Status Message - An error has occurred during report processing) , that I actually need to delete the subscription and reconfigure it from scratch. The scheduled job doesn't try to run again automatically (say the next Monday on a weekly Monday schedule).
Is there a way to "reset" a failed subscription without have to recreate the entire subscription?
Existing subscription already contains table included in the new subscription.
What are the possible causes of this merge replication error? Could it be caused by a SQL Server Compact Edition User trying to sync their .sdf file after their subscription has already expired on the SQL Server?
Would you expect to see a different message if a SQL Server Compact Edition user tried to sync a subscriber database (.sdf file) with merge replication if it's been longer than the subscription retention period since their last sync?
We are migrating our reporting services database from one server to another.
What needs to be done to subscriptions to ensure they work properly. Will they automatically update as part of the migration, or is there a manual process.
We are using Reporting Services 2000 and will be using Reporting services 2000 as well on the new server.
Hi all, I'm creating data driven subscription for parameterized reports. I'm supposed to deliver one report to six different customers. But each customer can see only his own data in the report. This is not a problem. But the problem is I need another report in which all the data can be seen. When I create DD subsription, I chosed Auto increment option for the write mode under "
Specify delivery extension settings for Report Server FileShare" . But then it creates seperate report for each parameter value. But it does not create the report which contains all the data for all parameter values. How can I make it without creating another report. Also when I use overwrite option instead of Auto Increment, It creates only one reports. Does any one know why it happens?
Hi, I am doing a repl.in SQL7/NT. At time of 'Push Subscription wizard' - I used the option "Yes,Initialize the schema and data......" whereas I already had data and schema at the subscriber. Now my question is what will happen now and how long will this process take(for approx5GB of DAta). OR should I stop the process - it's already an hour when I started the process. Any suggestion appreciated.
I have created a subscription pull from one SQL server to another so that the database from one SQL server is replicated to another. But when the subscription runs, no data appears in the subscriber SQL server. When I check the subscription, I see that the database is connecting to the publisher but that is it. I have the login correct but what am I missing? Do the tables in the subscriber database have to be already created and matching the ones in the publisher database before the subscription runs or are they automaticaly created after the subscription runs?
I have a data driven subscription with the information about the file name/file extension/ path etc coming in from a database. The problem is that the subscription status after running tells me that things are done and there is no error but the file is not being generated in the specified directory and for that reason the file is not generated at all anywhere on the hard disk. can anybody please help.
The information in the database for the report is as follows
Because of problems trying to alter databases used for replication my software would need to find out if a database is a publisher or was repliated (using T-SQL). Is this possible?
I want to use window script program to execute a pull subscription installed on SQL 2005 express edition. Because it free for downloand. is there a script that can call an existing pull subscription execution.
is there anyone know how to drop subscription from the publisher database without a connection to the subscriber(because the subscriber server is formated)
I have uploaded a report onto my 2005 Reporting Manager and want to create a daily email of the report... How do I set up the email facility? Can someone give me a link? I not sure what to do because the company uses Exchange Server and not SMTP....
I need to subscribe one report in Reporting Services. I was compiled all fields and I said to report server that I want excel file at one shared directory of the server. When the report server tried to process the report I have the following messagge:
Failure writing file S16 : An unexpected error occurred in Report Processing.
The current action cannot be completed because the user data source credentials that are required to execute this report are not stored in the report server database. (rsInvalidDataSourceCredentialSetting)
Delievered by: Report Server E-Mail SMTP: is enabled on IIS Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
Email Setting: setup correctly
What else is it that I would need to check to get the subscriptions going?
We are seeing a problem with the users of our application. If the user closes our application from running programs (as best as we can tell as we cannot repro in dev) and SQL Mobile is in the middle of an async sync, sometimes when the application restarts it fails to load the properties for replication from the database. We are using code that is nearly identical to the samples provided by MS for performing replication async. Basically, the database still exists on the device and the application can use it just fine, but when a sync starts, the database is already there, so it tries to load the properties at which point we get a message stating that there is no subscription in the database.
Any ideas?
The second question would be if it doesn't exist and the database already contains data, can I create the subscription and have it not loose the users changes? Will it sync correctly after that?
hi. i was following the newbie's guide: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/med302_msdn_sql_mobile.asp?frame=true
on the creating a new subscription i was doing okay until i get to the last part wherein i click finish and this error pops up when it starts synchronizing data..
An error has occured on the computer running IIS. Try restarting the IIS server.
i already tried restarting the server.. is there anything else i can do to make it work?
I have setup Merge replication with 2 publishers and one subscriber. On the subscription machine I can see publisher 1 listed under local subscriptions but not publisher 2. I have created the second subscription on publisher 2 and also tried to create the subscription again on the subscription machine but i get an error saying the 'Subscription already exists'.
Neither do I see the second subscription nor does it work as if it is subscribed to Publisher 2. What could be going wrong.
I know how to schedule a report to generate and email somebody weekly on a particular day of the week but how do you tell it to run for previous date range? For example to run on Thursday Sept.13, I would want it include data from Start date of Sept 3 and end date Sept 9.
I have attempted this with more than one database (SQL Server 2005). The snapshot was created successfully. The Web configuration was completed successfully. All my security logins (DB and authentication) have the correct permissions and I have followed Microsoft's instructions perfectly (over and over again!).
I am using a MS Server2003 R2 box, Service Pack 1. All of my Mobile 5.0 components installed successfully.
This is a data formatting issue, but I am attempting with an empty table (3 fields) to make it as simple as possible. In fact, the first time through the instructions I used their SQLMobile database created with Microsoft's script. Same ending, same issue. I cannot create a SQL Server Mobile subscription.
I should mention that this error occurs on the 2nd task "Synchronizing Data".
What URL should be tested prior to subscribing - HTTP://MyBox/MyAppName? What should be the expected results? Right now, I get a page does not exist - of course, there are no pages, just the dll in the virtual directory.
I have Sharepoint Central Administration and Team Foundation Server web sites running. In addition,
