Merge Publication Error

Mar 7, 2001

Hi,
I disabled a merge publication on my server. I then ran sp_removedbreplication to clean the system tables. Thats fine. When I recreate a new publication on my server now, I still get the red x on my publisher node in my replcation monitor from the error I was getting before. Evenm though this publication is error free. Is it saving an srror flag in one of the sytem tabbles

Any ideas on this?
Thanks

Add Article To Merge Repl. Publication

Apr 22, 2004

I am running merge replication (SQL 2000 with SP2) with an anonymous pull subscription. The application vendor has come out with update that requires adding a table to a database. The vendor has created scripts that will add the table, as well as some stored procedures. If I apply the scripts to both servers and add the table as a new article to the publication, am I going to have to apply a snapshot of the entire database (which is very large)?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Delete A Merge Replication Publication

I tried to drop a merge replication publication and it is giving me an invalid object name dbo.ms_mergeagents message. I tried to drop using:

SSMS
sp_dropmergepublication
sp_replicationdboption

I got the last two from Microsoft KB article 324401. The subscription was never created because it gave another error invalid object_name msmerge_subscriptions. I can create new publications but not drop the existing ones.

Please assist...

Problem With Creating A Merge Publication

Jan 10, 2006

Help!!! This is really frustrating me down!

I was trying to follow the MS official tutorial "Creating a mobile application with SQL server mobile" could be found in this link

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171908.aspx

In the step of creating a merge publication, as I noticed, the snapshot agent is started sucessfully. But very soon later (few seconds), it was shut down with an error message. I checked in the error history, the following message I found:

"... The replication agent encountered a failure. The step failed"

I also went to msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps and found "Detected nonlogged agent shutdown".

Anyone could help?

Merge Replication Failing After Recreating The Publication

Jun 7, 2006

I am having a problem with merge replication after recreating a publication. It is a simple two-way replication between two servers allowing applications to update data at both ends, i.e. 1 publisher, 1 subscriber for all tables except some junk ones. The problem started after I did the following:

1) I dropped and recreated the publication to allow for some changes to the database schema. These caused problems so I dropped the subscription and publication and restored the databases at each end from backups taken before we started.

2) When I created the publication again, it wouldn't let me use the same name as it thought the publication already existed. It let me use a different name instead.

3) Most things work OK but one of the tables is not replicating inserts from the subscriber to the publisher. There are no errors and no conflicts, other similar tables replicate OK. Inserts go across the other way OK.

4) I am getting replication conflicts on another table that says 'Unable to synchronize the row because the row was updated by a different process outside of replication'

I believe the problem is to do with the original publication details still being in the restored databases, so am looking to drop the publication & subscription, remove the remnants of the old publication, fix the data and recreate pub & sub. What do I need to do to get rid of the old replication data in the database?

Any help much appreciated.

Schema Changes On Merge Publication On SQL2000 And SQL2005

Apr 17, 2007

Hello



I've got the following problem: Our product is delivered with SQL2000 and SQL2005.

Now, there are some schema changes, which I'd like to deploy with T-SQL on the publishers. With SQL2000 I do it with the sp_addmergecolumn etc and on SQL 2005 (if replication compatibility level is 90) with replication of DDL. So far so good.

But how can my T-SQL Script determine, wether the replication of DDL is on? I know there exists sp_helpmergepublication, but how do I get the column replicate_ddl of the result-set?



thanks for your advices.

Problem Creating New Publication For MERGE REPLICATION

Jan 3, 2008

Hi,

I am stuck when trying to create a new publication. I fill all the wizard tabs but when finishing I get that message (6 times, one for every table):




Code Block


SQL Server Management Studio could not create article 'applicationModules'. (New Publication Wizard)

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

------------------------------

This article cannot use the 'subscriber_upload_options' feature because the publication compatibility level is less than 90. Use sp_changemergepublication to set the publication_compatibility_level of publication 'testMR' to '90RTM'.
Changed database context to 'test'.
Publication 'testMR' has the following property: 'compensate_for_errors'. SQL Server subscribers below version '8.00.0858' will ignore this setting. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 21522)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=09.00.1399&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=21522&LinkId=20476



The error seemed pretty clear, so I end up doing:

EXEC sp_changemergepublication
@publication = N'testMR',
@property = N'publication_compatibility_level',
@value = N'90RTM'

and running the wizard again.

But I got the same error.

The link on the message take me nowhere.
and by googling for error 21522 I couldn't find any help at all.

Please, could anyone help?

Cheers

Setting Up Publication For Merge Replication Using Stored Procedures

Aug 2, 2006

Hello.I am trying to use Transact SQL to prepare publication for replication (SQL Server 2000 SP4 and SQL Mobile). I can easily create publication, add filters etc. but there is one thing which I can't find : parameter which tells me subscriber type and allow me to change subscriber type for publication. I don't know where I can change (or even if I can change) this property.
If someone made publication for mobile devices and replication with filters,resolvers etc. will it be a problem to share experiences here? Maybe some sample code with script or something what will guide me. Thanks in advance. Maciej Wysocki

The Maximum Number Of Articles Allowed In A Merge Publication Is 246.

Jun 4, 2007

Has anyone had problems with this limitation before or could explain to me what the purpose of this limit is for? It obviously does allow you to publish more than 246 (we have been publishing more than 700 for years). Is this new with SQL 2005? Is my publication going to stop one day and tell me there are too many articles?



Thanks in advance.

Error: 14151, Severity: 18, State: 1. Error When Reinitialising A Publication

Jan 23, 2007

Hi,

I have three publications on a dev server. All are sql 2005 merge replication (push) with replication running to subscribers on the same instance of sql server (note this is just dev testing).

However, I have just marked one for re-initialisation / create new snapshot / don't upload changes but when I kick off the synchronisation it says it has insufficient permission to run the snapshot.

When I do this for the other two there is no problem.

SQLAgent is running (using LocalSystem) so I don't know why my reinitialisation won't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had a publication that I removed from the Local Publications folder but it still shows up in Replication Monitor (with a red 'X'). No jobs exist related to this publication either.

Everything is working ok, but I can't get rid of this from the Replication monitor.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Publication Configuration Error

Feb 7, 2006

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to setup publishing on SQL Server 2000 Enterprise. I will be subscribing from a SQL Mobile 2005 database so I have installed the SQL Server 2000 SP3a Replication Components, .NET Framework 2.0, and the SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Server Tools.

I was able to go through the 2005 Mobile Web Synchronization Wizard with no problems. However, when I try to run the Configure Publishing and Distribution Wizard, I get the following message at the end:

SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not configure 'GISSERV' as the Distributor for 'GISSERV'
Error 14114: '(null)' is not configured as a Distributor.

The first option I choose is Make 'GISSERV' it's own Distributor. Then, I select the snapshot folder that I shared. And on the third screen, I've tried going with the standard default settings and customizing those settings.

Has anyone else come across this error? Is there anyone else out there replicating from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 Mobile?

Thanks in advance,

Lee

Error 14294 - Can't Create Publication

Jul 1, 2003

When running the create publication wizard, I get:

"Error 14294 - Supply either @Job_id or @Job_Name to identify the job"

I had pubs & subs set up, but things were erroring, so I tried deleting everything and wanted to start from scratch, but the last step in the wizard gets me stuck.

Is it ok to clear the tables in the Distribution database that have info from earlier attempts at setting things up ?

Is there a way to delete the distribution database & really start from scratch ?

Merge Agent Error

Apr 27, 2006

Hi

We are using HTTPS merge replication.

One of my subscribers is getting this error:

Error messages:

The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Publisher for changes not yet sent to the Subscriber. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload). (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199402)

 

This is a bit surprising - it has been working fine - and also there were no changes at the publisher (it only has one article in this publication - a stored proc)

Why would this have happened ? The retention period is 45 days and they synchronised successfully only a few days prior.

Merge Repl. Error OS 3

Jul 12, 2007

I am trying to set up a merge replication between SQL 2005 and SQL Express. When I try to apply the snapshot to the SQL Express database. I get the error "Can not access filepathSnapshot.pre due to error OS 3"



Does anyone know what OS error 3 applies to?



Also, when I try to place the snapshop in the default folder location say D:ReplicationData the create snapshot process will work. If I try to place the snapshot folder not in the default and in a UNC like this \serverIPReplicationData I get an access error. sqlAgent has access to the share, which is fully shared out. Any ideas?

Merge Replication Error

In Merge Replication, I am not able to replicate one table having more than 5 GB data to the subscriber. If I have filter on the table I am able to do. I couldn't understand the problem? Any one having any idea on the same?

For your information.

I have 1.7GB free space in C drive. Is it a space problem in C drive? Actually my data base is storing in E drive. It has 30GB free space. But Sql Server installed in D drive it has 2 GB free space.

Thanks in advance

In the pictures you can find the red & white color cross (wrong sign) on replication monitor tab, I don't know why it is appearing. :confused:

Kindly, give me guidance to rectify this error & setup the marge replication between two SQL 2000 Servers.

SQL 2000 Merge Replication Error

Apr 27, 2006

I have a merge replication publication that has been running for
months. This week the Snapshot started failing, reporting that an
article was not included in the publication. I checked and found
3 articles that mysteriously no longer show up as being in the
publication. When I attempt to add them it reports that it can't
add them because there is already an article by that name in the
publication. Apparently some table has lost its rows for these
articles while another table(s) still has its rows.



Has anyone had this problem? Is there a solution short of
dropping the publication and starting over - a solution that would
literally take weeks for us?



Thanks for any help.

Merge Replication - Subscriber Error

Apr 20, 2007

Hi,

I have setup merge replication between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Express. The setup uses web synchronization. (And the setup uses dynamic filter HOST_NAME)

On some of the client machines, replication fails with the following error (when initializing the subscription):

from subscriber merge agent verbose log:
A dynamic snapshot will be applied from 'D:DOCUME~1JBAUMG~1.CORLOCALS~1TempDB101-EQA-SCL_BQDB_BQ_PUB_BQDB'

Validating dynamic snapshot
2007-04-1819:39:45.434 OLE DB Subscriber 'FRG-BAUMGARTENJSQLEXPRESS': sys.sp_MSregisterdynsnapseqno @snapshot_session_token=N'\XXX.XX.XX.XXSnapshotuncDB101-EQA-SCL_BQDB_BQ_PUB20070417180079dynsnap', @dynsnapseqno='5599F67E-A1A9-4573-A14F-9851F6FE4B51'

(Note: XXX.XX.XX.XX is a proper IP of DB, I have just masked it in the post)

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.

I enabled verbose logging for the snapshot agent for the subscriber, but there was no error there. It is obvious from the log info above that the error occurs only after downloading the snapshot to the client and during applying it to the subscriber by the merge agent.

After I got this error, I tried running the subscriber program again and it successfully replicated on the third attempt. But this behavior is not consistent and it fails for most of the time on some of the machines

Any info on this error?

Merge Replication SQL2000 Error 2812

Feb 10, 2004

Hi !

When trying to start a Merge Replication agent I get the following Error message:

The process could not enumerate the changes at the subscriber. 2812

The snapshot agent works fine as far as I can see.

The replication is set up between a Win2000 / SQL7 / SP 4 and a Win2003 / SQL2000 / SP 3a machine. Sqlserveragent on both machines is run as a system account.

Any tip is welcome!

Thanks

URGENT! Merge Replication Error 2812

Feb 12, 2004

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!

Consistency Error On Merge Table Index

May 30, 2007

I'm getting the following error on our merge contents table in one of our DBs:


Msg 8952, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Table error: Database 'ks241', index 'MSmerge_contents.nc3MSmerge_contents' (ID 1950682047) (index ID 3). Extra or invalid key for the keys:

CHECKTABLE found 0 allocation errors and 2 consistency errors in table 'MSmerge_contents' (object ID 1950682047).
repair_fast is the minimum repair level for the errors found by DBCC CHECKTABLE (ks241.dbo.MSmerge_contents ).


There are no other corruption issues on the server that I can find. I do not believe there are any current hardware issues, though I am not on site.

What would be the best way to resolve this? Is recreating or defrag/rebuild the index an option, here? Or can I just run a repair on this? Since it's a merge table, I'm a little gun shy, having limited experience with replication.

Thanks.

Merge Replication Identity Range Error
