Replication Folder's Didn't Locate Local Publications,need Help!
Apr 20, 2007
Hi,
i'm doing POS system by using C# in visual studio 2005. Recently, i installed the microsoft sql server management studio on my pc, i plan to do merge replication through local publications between my pocket pc and my pc. So, i opened the replication file which is under Object Explorer in microsoft sql server management studio, it ONLY show me the local subscription folder under the replication file.Do i install incomplete set of microsoft sql server management studio?Local publications and local subscription, which one is more suitable for POS system?

I'm trying to set up replication between two servers that both used to have SQL Server 6.5 on them. I was previously getting a 'The ID '114' was not found in the tasks collection' message and so decided to be on the safe side and remove and re-install SQL Server on both machines. Having successfully re-installed SQL Server 6.5 on both machines I then thought I'd try and set-up replication again. BUT as soon as try to install the publishing side of it the only option I have is to uninstall publishing ???? SQL Server on both machines appeared to uninstall and install nicely so how come it's still asking if I want to uninstall publishing ????
Any ideas would make my Xmas.
thanks Paul

Hi.
I have a database with two publications.
One publication is used to replicate data among 4 SQL Servers, while the other is used for the replication with SQL Server CE clients.
The problem here is that the SQLCE receive a number of changes that it is not correct.
Before establishing the publication for SQL Servers the SQL CE clients were working great, but now i have this problem.
Is there any patch or fix I should install on the server?, or do you know how can I solve this?
Thank you.

Hi,
We are using transactional replication with updatable subscriptions in SQL Server 2005. In our case both the publisher and the distributor is the same server. The subscription type is the Pull Subscription. It is set to run in the continuous running mode.
Can we have more than one publication in the same Distributor?
Please refer the link below :
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152471.aspx
This link has a recommendation of the following under the heading "Queued Updating Subscriptions"
"There is only one Queue Reader Agent for each Distributor. It is recommended that for each Distributor, you configure at most one publication that is enabled for queued updating subscriptions."
In our case we need to have 6 publications with 4 subscriptions each (totally 24 Subscriptions).
Pls provide a reply for this asap.
Thanks and Regards,
Swapna.B.

Hi:
Did you have any experience that all publications and their related jobs suddenly disappear?
I had a transactional pull replication between two servers, and distributor and subscriber in the same box; publisher was an AA cluster server.
The schedule of pulling was once a week.
Last Friday morning everything was working perfectly, but I found all publications and their related jobs disappear around 5pm
I checked with the sysadmin and he said nothing was changed on that period.
Did you have any idea about it?
Did you have any idea that I can prevent this happen again or any alert I can set up to monitor who drop it, when it was dropped and so on?
It is a SQL 2000 box and system table doest not take trigger.
Thanks in advance
Theresa

We have many transactional publications, and would like to have identical settings on each of them. Is any way to compare settings of these publications using script?

I am working on a replication design and getting closer to implementation. One of my major concerns is maintaining and updating stored procs and/or user defined functions.
The current design is a single publication, including tables, procs and functions (no views yet). All told there are about 686 articles in the publication. The tables are horizontally partitioned using dynamic filters based on the hostname of the subscriber. There are around 50 subscribers. Most will have small databases (< 250 MB). A few (2-3) will have much larger databases. I am mostly concerned that whenever I have to update a proc or function, I have to re-initialize the subscriptions and that pushes a TON of data out over the network and may interrupt service at the subscriber locations.
I see three options for the procs and functions:
1. Include them in the publication with the data tables
2. Place them in a separate (snapshot only) publication
3. Exclude them entirely from replication and maintain them manually
I am starting to lean towards option #2; but I am a bit concerned about maintaining a duplicate set of replication agents for each subscriber.
Any thoughts and/or comments?
Regards,
hmscott
Am I overlooking something? Is there an option that I have not considered?

Greetings All, I was hoping that a replication sage might be able toanswer a question for me.I want to have one subscriber subscribing to N publishers. Iessentially have a company that has a main headquarters and threesatellite offices. I want each of the satellite offices to push theirdata up to the master database. From what I have read it seems likethis should not be a problem. Some questions that come to mind are:1.)Does the master need to be read only or can it be configured to beupdateable as well?2.)Can the distribution agent on all the publishers be set tocontinuously distribute or should it be staggered so as not to cause aproblem when another distribution agent is running?3.)If the distribution is set to "delay distribution" will this causechanges on the subscriber to be pushed out to the publishers?In this database guid's are used as pk's so the issue of pk collisionsis not a problem.I hope that this question is not too vague. My experience thus farwith replication has been simple one way transactional and simplemerge replication.Regards, Louis Frolio

We have setup Transactional Replication that was originally initialized from a backup. Our subscriber recently had some hardware failures causing the publications to fail. We now have the server back up however the transactions for a few days have been missed, and data is now out of sync.
How do I go about resyncing that missing data? We have too many table to manually resync the data, and I cannot restore the database directly from a backup due to some permission issues and differences from the publisher. I've attempted to generate a new snapshot
However I get a message "[0%] A snapshot was not generated because no subscriptions need initialization." My current understanding that is that I should be able to take a snapshot from the publisher and apply it to the subscriber, thus syncing all the data.

We need to replicate multiple databases (publications) to one central subscriber. The schema of those articles are identical in all publications and also the primary keys in publications do not have any overlap.
Is this possible?If yes is there any specific thing that I should consider for it's implementation? Should each publication has it's own dedicated distributor or all of them can share one distributor?

Two questions actually ...
1) Need a simple routine or system function for testing for or verifying the existence of a file or folder on the local server's file system. Returning a simple boolean value or 1 or 0 would be fine.
2) Need a syntax and use description of the new "master.dbo.xp_create_subdir" function ... anyone have some documentation or links? MS technet and MSDN have nothing.
Thanx

I have to access the remote system folder files in local machine using SSIS.

Apr 24, 2008
In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this:
1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found;
2. If file(s) found, then compare it/them with existing files in our archive folder; if file(s) already exist in archive folder, stop executing and send email saying file(s) already existed, if file(s) not in archive folder yet, then transfer it/them to the local directory for processing.
I know i have to use a script task to do this and i did some research and found examples for each of the above 2 steps and not both combined, so that's why I need some help here to get the logic incorporated right.
Thanks for the help in advance and i apologize for the long lines of code!

I have a merge replication. Currently works fine. Publisher & Distributor are on the same server. I need to change the location of the alternate folder for the snapshot files.
I’ll probably just change it through the GUI, but would I use sp_changedistpublisher or sp_changemergepublication if I were scripting everything?
My real concern is the subscribers. Do I have to ‘tell’ the subscribers where the alt folder has been changed to? Do I just run sp_changemergepullsubscription on the subscribers?

HI,
I am trying to replicate only the single table of the same server in the different database.
i have made my source database as the publisher and select only the single table which i have to replicate, and similarly i have created the subscriber(Push)of the same of the with the table schema present in the database in which i want to replicate the data , with no records present in it.
So when i push the data from publisher to the subscriber nothing happens and the table remains blank.
I am not able to understand what could be the reason for it, If any one can help me i would be very thankful.

Hi,
I am trying to test a replication or at least get the feel for it on my local copy before I set it up on the real server.
Can I do that by setting my local database as the publisher as well as the subscriber?
I am getting an error message but I am wondering if there are any settings I can change to make this work. Or any other ideas of how to see the replication tool before actually doing it live?
Error message:
"Server 'MyComputerName' is neither a Publisher nor a Distributor, or you do not have permission to access replication functionality on this server.
I might add that I am not only new to the project but also new to MS SQL Server.
Thank you!

We have a SQL Server database that runs a website on our server, however the company that we are running the website for requested that they have a replicated local version at their business. Everything is working fine.
However they have requested that they have access to the replication logs. They want to have the details of the recent replication details so they can see if changes they have made on their side has been transferre across successfully they also want a table with all the details in of the changes that have ever happened. Can anyone suggest a good way of doing this?

Hello,
If I want to access or modify my local subscription data(not the configuration) how can I do that(from sql server 2005 or from asp.net)? Also can i update directly to the local subscriptions data or do I need another layer which will update from a table for example??
Thank you

I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message
"cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again."
After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message.
So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.

I know a WMI event watcher can be used to watch for a new file being added to a folder. However, I need to check for new folders being added to an existing folder. I haven't been able to find a post on doing this. Is there a way in WQL to check for a new folder being added instead of a new file? I've used SQL for years, but am new to SSIS.

Ok,
I have a network folder called A
I have a SharePoint (2007) Document Library site called B. Web Client is enabled on the server and B is mapped as a Drive (let's call it Y for this discussion)
I want to move documents in A to B. Easy enough, right? Not so....
I first started by creating a batch file that issues a COPY \A \Y /Y at the command prompt. Viola! Worked Great!
I then moved that command to a SQL Agent job as a CMDExec statement (exact same statement) and attempted to run it.....CRASH! It found the files in A but then said "The system cannot find the path specified"
Ok, so I tried it in SSIS. CRASH! Checked the error log. Same thing...
So I then checked the account under which the SQl Agent was running (special domain account for all our SQL Servers). Thinking it might mater I changed it to run under my name (I'm in Domain admin). I also ensured I had permissions to the SPS 2007 library as well. (I did).
Ran again! CRASH! Same error....
So, I created a batch file , placed thec ommand in the batch file and ran that from the command prompt! Viola! Worked Great.
So, I was thinking of how ingenious I was as I pasted my C:RootCopy.bat into my SQL Agent job. With a big grin on my face I right clicked and picked "Start Job at step".......CRASH! Same error.
Does anyone have any ideas on this ???????????????
Thanks,
Stephen

I have multiple web databases for storefront orders as linked servers on SQL Server 2008 R2. I need to organize the data for these orders into a structure that can be imported into my ERP application db frequently either on demand or periodically during the day. We are essentially trying to make the manual order entry process automated. My thought was to get the data into views that resemble the schema of the order table in my application db and then schedule a stored procedure with sql jobs or a load routine from within the ERP application that would insert data from the view into the order table.

Hi all
I have SQL 2000 SP4 running on a W2K server SP4.
The server acts as a subcriber and publisher and acts as its own distributor.
Each publication uses its own distribution agent and is set to loop.
There are 4 queued updating subscriptions on this box.
When running 3rd party tools to determine open active ports, the replication executables (distrib and logreader) are connecting to local server multiple times. Easily 15+ established connections plus many more waits.
Everything connects to 1433 then opens a new port.
Is this because of the queued updating?
Replication is functioning as it should without any problems.
I even checked our 2 main distribution servers which only act as distributors and there is not one connection from replication to itself.
Any insight would be appreciated
Thx
John

I have a set of folders with the following structure:
MainFolder
1999
SpreadsheetA.xls
SpreadsheetB.xls
SpreadsheetC.xls
2000
SpreadsheetA.xls
SpreadsheetB.xls
SpreadsheetC.xls
etc.
Is there a way that I can use the foreach loop container to loop the sub folders? My plan was to get the folder name and path into a variable, use this to build the connection string for each file in this folder, carry out the upload for that folder, then move onto the next folder and do the same thing, but I cannot see a way to do this.

Hi
My first attempt at RMO is to create a job that will generate the SQL scripts necessary to recreate publications on a warm stanby server.
I thought I'd got a grip on the RMO object model, but whenever I call the script method, an empty string is generated.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
' Create connection to local server
serverConnection = New ServerConnection(".")
Try
' connect to publisher
serverConnection.Connect()
replicationServer = New ReplicationServer(serverConnection)
replicationDatabases = replicationServer.ReplicationDatabases
For Each replicationDatabase In replicationDatabases
If replicationDatabase.HasPublications Then
replicationDatabase.LoadProperties()
Console.WriteLine(replicationDatabase.Script(ScriptOptions.Creation))
End If
Next
Catch ex As Exception
Finally
serverConnection.Disconnect()
End Try
