Hi all
I've got the following situation:
setup up an merge publication (distributor and publisher at the same server)
setup an anonymous subscription
deleted the subscription
In the replication monitor, I still see the deleted subscription.
Why?
And how do I get rid of it?
Thanks a lot for any informations and greetz

Hello,
I tried to use REPLMERG utility for Web synchronization and got the following error message in log file:
2007-03-23 14:35:10.484 The subscription to publication 'X' could not be verified. Ensure that all Merge Agent command line parameters are specified correctly and that the subscription is correctly configured. If the Publisher no longer has information about this subscription, drop and recreate the subscription.
The case description is as the following:
REPLMERG utility command line:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90COMREPLMERG.EXE" -ExchangeType 3 -Publication X -
Publisher B01 -Subscriber 127.0.0.1SQLEXPRESS -Distributor B01 -PublisherDB DBS -
SubscriberDB DBS -PublisherSecurityMode 1 -Output C:TempDBS.log -OutputVerboseLevel 2 -
SubscriberSecurityMode 0 -SubscriberLogin Operator -SubscriberPassword XXX -
SubscriptionType 2 -DistributorSecurityMode 1 -Validate 3 -InternetURL
https://www.company.com/Synch/replisapi.dll -InternetSecurityMode 0 -InternetLogin USER1 -
InternetPassword PWD1 -SubscriberType 0
The subscription to the publication X has been created with the following T-SQL script:
USE DBS
EXEC sp_addmergepullsubscription
@publisher = N'B01',
@publication = N'X',
@publisher_db = N'DBS',
@subscriber_type = N'anonymous',
@sync_type = N'automatic',
@subscription_priority = 0.0;
I've also tried to check subscription information on the server 127.0.0.1SQLEXPRESS using the following:
sp_helpsubscription_properties N'B01', N'DBS', N'X'
but the result set is empty. When I run sp_helpsubscription_properties
I get the same empty result. But the subcription is anonymous and when I synchronize it using RMO - it works.
Could you please advice what could cause the problem?
Thank you.
Alexander.
Hi,
I'm trying to force an anonymous subscription to re-intialize on it's next sync attempt. I can do this from the subscriber no problems, and from the publisher using 'Re-initalize All Subscriptions', but I can't seem to re-intialize only a single subscription from the publisher.
To do this I'm trying to execute sp_reinitmergesubscription using the subscriber details found in the sysmergesubscriptions table. This executes ok and when the subscriber starts to sync it does try to re-initialize starting with generating a new snapshot, but after processing for a while it throws the following error messages:
Error messages:
The merge process could not allocate memory for an operation; your system may be running low on virtual memory. Restart the Merge Agent. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147198720)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147198720
An error occurred while reading the .bcp data file for the 'CDP_TableDates' article. If the .bcp file is corrupt, you must regenerate the snapshot before initializing the Subscriber. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199428)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199428
The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have been unable to create or write to the message file. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201001)
There doesn't appear to be any shortage of memory on the server. There is no problem regenerating the snapshot from the publisher, and there's no problem with syncing through the web using delta syncs or re-initializing from the subscriber, so I can't see any obvious cause from those error messages.
I'm using SQL Server 2005 SP2 on the publisher, and SQL ServerCE 3.1 on the subscriber.
Any ideas or alternatives?
Cheers
I was reading though my logs and noticed I had three instances of an anonymous logon last night. The last anonymous logon was at approx midnight. This is prime hacking time.
Can anyone give me direction on issues or concerns with anonymous logons.
Much thanks in advance ....
How do you set up a SQL server to allow anonymous access from a website? I am using asp for a web site and keep getting this error:
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E4D)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'
I am new to SQL server so any help no matter how obvious would be appreciated
Thanks
We're getting a barrage of Windows Authenticated login attempts that are using the Anonymous login on one of our client's production servers. This smells to me of a service gone awry.
The login attempts originate from a server that is hosting some Quest Software applications, specifically their Performance Analysis tool. This machine has been well behaved until this morning, but it has been issuing around ten failed login attempts an hour.
The problem that it causing me pain at the moment is that the client has not renewed their Quest support yet because of a merger, so their contract recently expired. Does anyone have any insight into what might cause a normally well behaved app/server to go mildly berzerk exactly ten days after the support contract expires?

Hi
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.
Can anyone shed any light on this.
Cheers

Hi all,
The problem is: when you're trying to call in method MyMethod anonymous method that doesn't use local variables, deployment of the assembly will fail referring that MyMethod tries to store smth. in the static variable. Indeed, looking at the compiled CLR code, you can see that anonymous delegate is cached in the private static delegate and the call looks like:
If(ClassName.privateStaticDelegate == null)
ClassName.privateStaticDelegate = new MyDelegate(HiddenMethodName);
CallAnonymousMethod(ClassName.privateStaticDelegate);
Is there any workaround to fix this problem.
P.S. I googled about this problem and found only one article on it:
http://www.ayende.com/Blog/default,date,2005-12-26.aspx
In remote processing mode, I am receiving the following error when I view a report in the browser: HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
I have SQL server 2005, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 , Windows Server 2003 running on a virtual PC.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 to create a webpage with a reportviewer.
We are using Windows Integrated Security. How do I provide anonymous access to the report viewer?
Hi there,
I created reports and deployed successfully. but one problem i am facing is when i am opening the browser to see reports, it is asking for credentials..
But i want to show these reports for anonymous users
Is there any way to show reports for anonymous users? If yes, what is the process. please refer me any articles.
please help me out.
thanks
praveen.
Greetings,
I have a set of reports that should be accessible to any user on our network. Those reports are located in a single folder in SSRS. I would like to configure security to allow anyone to see the reports in that folder. Is there a way to do this?
I do have other folders where I am using security so I do not want to open up system-wide access to all reports.
Thank you for your ideas.

Hi,
I read the BOL on how the publisher will had out identity ranges to subscribers, but it was not clear if this was also the case for anonymous subscribers. Will merge replication with identity columns work with anonymous subscribers that sync via HTTPS?
Thanks,

I am trying to execute oracle procedure (anonymous block) with input and output parameters from ms sql code and return 2 values back:a number and a string.I am using **EXEC() AT** to execute oracle code and return a string back to ms sql. It works fine when returning numbers, but if I add a string output parameter, I am receiving an error:Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0...A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
The server log has the following entry in exception.txt:
Exception 0xc0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 00000005031C07E0 at 0x0000000070F9C183
There is also a SQLDump file generated:
* BEGIN STACK DUMP:
* 10/28/15 12:45:38 spid 63
* Exception Address = 000000005040C183 Module(MSVCR100+000000000003C183)
[code]....
It looks like the problem is in passing varchar2 from oracle into ms sql. I had logging code in oracle block, and it works fine. I have found a few examples of using **exec() at** but there is always only integer output passed back.
Hi
We are using HTTPS merge replication
Our setup is as follows:
subscription.CreateSyncAgentByDefault = False -- I wrote a windows service to synchronise
subscription.UseWebSynchronization = True
subscription.InternetSecurityMode = AuthenticationMethod.BasicAuthentication
subscription.SubscriberType = MergeSubscriberType.Anonymous
Some of our subscribers have low-quality internet connections - how do I get the agent at the publisher/distributer use a slower profile - I've read How to: Work with Replication Agent Profiles (Replication Transact-SQL Programming)
but can't see where you specifiy an alternate agent profile
On the distributer / publisher (same machine) I go to replication monitor -> Warnings and Agents - I can only set the profile for the snapshot agent....
thanks

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?
Thank you

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?
Dear all,
Basically I want to set chain up the rights so that the anonymous web user IUSR_ .. can execute the new .NET subs, functions etc in the assembly, just as the anonymous web user can execute Stored Procedures when granted. In this way, it should be possible to call the .NET assembly just as classic stored procedures from ASP/ASP.NET.
I have written a .NET function which I can successfully execute if I log on to the database as an administrator by sending this T-SQL query; it returns the result of a given string:
select dbo.CLRHTMLString('abc')
The scenario is now to try to grant access to this assembly for a different role (webuser), which the classic IUSR_MYSERVERNAME is a login of, so that I can call the .NET Assembly when I am authenticated as the anonymous web user (e.g. via ASP, etc.).
To test access, I created a login (webusertest) for a user (webusertest) in the same role (webuser) on the database. But when I use this login, which supposedly has the same rights as the IUSR_, execution right is denied:
EXECUTE permission denied on object 'CLRHTMLString', database 'adt_db', schema 'dbo'.
Note: The 'webuser' database role has Execute permission on the Assembly.
I have also tested this from my actual web page, with the following results:
(1) IUSR_MYSERVER member of db_owner role: Web page has right to call assembly.
(2) IUSR_MYSERVER not member of db_owner role: Web page does not have right to call assembly.
Further test results:
(3) Function can be called when making the user "webusertest" member of the "db_owner" role, which is too much rights to grant for the anonymous web user.
(4) When adding the user 'webusertest' to get 'Execute' permissions on the assembly, it does not get added. After clicking OK, there is no warning message, but when opening the Assembly Properties -> Permission dialog box the same time, the 'webusertest' user does not appear in the list.
Thankful for any advice on this matter.
Dear SQL Server Reporting Services gurus,
Before I begin describing our problem, let me first start off with a description of our environment and current configuration.
Background/Configuration Specs
We have SQL Server Reporting Services running on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, Service Pack 1 server. It is configured so that the Reports and ReportServer virtual directories run under a sql server domain account.
The datasets for our reports are xml datasets returned from calling a web service on a second IIS server, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, Service Pack 1. The web service runs under a service account and is not set to impersonate the user. The web service contacts a database located on the same server as reporting services to retrieve the data. So, it should receive the request, login to the database it is trying to access using the service account, and return the dataset.
We are programatically accessing reports via a client application, specifying the virtual directory via the reportserver url (e.g. http:\hostname\reportserver\virtual directory path\report name).
Kerberos is enabled on both the sql box and the iis box with constrained delegation allow the sql account access to the iis box.
Problem
When I try to browse to the report from Report Manager in IE, (http:\hostname\Reports\...etc) I am able to successfully view the report.
When I try to view the report in the client app, (http:\hostname\reportserver\...etc.) the report fails.
Looking at the iis logs, it appears that in the first case, the web service is receiving the request from the sql server domain account. In the second case, it appears that the web service is receiving the request from an anonymous login.
Questions
What exactly is the difference between rendering/viewing a report via ReportManager versus programatically via ReportServer?
Is there any configuration we need to be aware of when configuring ReportServer?
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
prettybrneyes81
We have an application that requires write settings to reportserver virtual directory for the IUSR account when anonymous is turned on during the install. Once the install is complete, we lock down the IUSR account so that it only has browse access to the virtual directory when enabling anonymous access.
We automate the uninstall and install of our daily builds and I'm trying to figure out if I can automated this process somehow either through command line utility or in vbs.
Your help is greatly appreciated...

Hi,
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.
Thanks
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?
Thanks
Hello,
is it possible to make a new subscription remote over a website and NOT in the Reportmanager?
Has anybody done something like this and are there any examples?
Thx

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?
Thank you in advance
Hello all,
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
FileName : Test1
FileExtn : True
Path = \ram\C$Reports
Render_Format = PDF
Username = Administrator
Password = password
Writemode = Overwrite
All the fields are varchar(50) in size.
Hi, wonder if someone can help.
I've created a subscription and scheduled it to run but I get the following message:
Failure sending mail: The transport failed to connect to the server.
Anyone any ideas why? or what I can do to fix it?
Thanks
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?
My name is Tech guy,
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)
View 3 Replies View RelatedAre there any procedural differences between Express and MSDE considering pull subscription?

Hi

Hi,
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.
What's the report want?
thanks.
I am unable to create a subscription.
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?
