Applying Snapshot From Alternate Location
Apr 3, 2006Hi
We are using HTTPS merge replication - is it possible to specify an alternative location when applying the initial snapshot ?
Thanks

Alternate Snapshot Location For Transactional Replication
Jun 2, 2006Hi,
I have transactional replication setup with SQL 2000 on W2K3 cluster using updateable push subscribers. While setting up replication, we chose default location for snapshot folder that resides on non-clustered drive. Is there a way to change this location without disturbing current replication setup. I looked at the 'alternate snapshot location' solution, but it requires snapshot re-initialization. I am trying to do this with minimal effort and downtime.
Thanks,

Alternate Snapshot Folder During Setup In 2005
Nov 28, 2006One of the things that annoys me in 2005 is that you cannot change the snapshot location during the setup of the replication. Does anyone know if I missed something or if they are going to change that in a future patch?
View 5 Replies View RelatedSql Express Web Sync, Can't Find Snapshot?
Nov 12, 2007I'm using RMO to set up MergePullSubscription to a SQL Express database, the server is running SS2k5.
The subscription gets created just fine, and web sync seems to be working, going to replisapi.dll?diag in my new virtual directory returns no errors.
When creating the publication on the server (using management studio for this) the snapshot is created, and stored in the snapshot share. Creating the publication seems to go without any issues. When I open the "Configure Web Synchronization" wizard, and point it to my new snapshot share, it ALWAYS says that the snapshot folder appears to be empty, which it isn't.
I get an error when I attempt to sync the databases that I believe is caused by Web Sync not being able to find the snapshot. Here's the output from triggering the sync via RMO.

Any ideas? I've been beating my head against the same wall for 2 days now!

Feb 9, 2004Hi Guys,
I have tried backing up the replication from Primary Server (Publisher) A and copying over to Subscriber B. When I sync. I am missing the data. I don't know what step I am missing or it is bug on SQL 2K SP3.
I don't know what i am doing wrong.
Can anybody give me a step by step detail how to backup the publisher database and copy to a subscriber and sync by saying the schema and data already available. As we have WAN problem all the times, and when I try the full snapshot of 20 gig it was taking more than 24 hrs and also if the connection fails my snapshot also fails
Please help.

The merge replication work fine before and start from middle on May 2015, but it keep happen right now.

Jan 21, 2006I want to have transactional replication setup with SQL 2000 as a publisher and SQL Express 2005 as a subscriber? Where can I get some documentation around that?
Basically, the problem I am stuck with is that while registering the subscriber in SQL2000, SQL2000 cannot recognize my SQL Express 2005 instance as a subscriber. I have tried both SQL Ent. Mgr. and sp_addsubscription.
Please help.

How To Get Mobile Subscription To Sync With Dynamic Snapshot
Feb 8, 2007Hello Everyone,
I have a publication on a Sql 2000 (SP4) server. This publication has dynamic filtering enabled. What I want to do is create an interface which will generate a new dynamic snapshot based on filtering input from users. So far I can create the dynamic snapshot easy enough and I can see the filtered results on a Sql 2000 subscriber. However, there seems to be no way to configure a mobile database to point to the dynamic snapshot. This is easy to configure in a Sql 2000 subscription - the options are right there are on the properties page. Yet, it seems like the mobile database only points to the required unfiltered snapshot through the IIS proxy.
Is there any way to force the mobile database to use the dynamic snapshot instead?
Thanks,
Mike
Web Sync: Strange Behaviour With The Snapshot Size
Aug 29, 2006Hi
There's *strange* behaviour with snapshot size during subscription initialization.
So...
The initial snapshot has size about 9Mb at the publisher.
After subscription creation, I notice that the subscriber downloads about 21 MB.
It seems to me, that the snapshot is unpacked on the IIS, next, part of the files are packed again and just after it the changed snaphot is sent to the subscriber.
Why?
How it can be solved?
It brings some extent nuisance...
Thanks

Problem After Applying Snapshot Publication To Subscriber
Jul 13, 2006Hello all,
I have a unusual problem with a snapshot publication that I am having a hard time troubleshooting. The servers in question are all SQL 05 Enterprise. Here is the scenario:
Staging Server - This server acts as the publisher of the snapshot
Production Server - This server is the subscriber of the staging snapshot
Cascade Servers - These servers receive transactional updates from the production server
The staging server applies the snapshot to production successfully. From there the production server has a transactional publication which the subscribers are the cascade servers.
This model worked for a long time where we would generate the snapshot apply it to production and the updates would be sent to the cascade servers. All of a sudden there is a problem with the transactional publication from production -> cascade. There are 7-10 tables that do not receive the updates and all data in the problematic tables is truncated. The other remaining tables in the subscription receive the updates as needed. Looking at replication monitor and all other logs shows that the transactions are being replicated, but yet the 7-10 problematic tables do not contain any data. The only solution I have found for this is to recreate the entire replication model from scratch.
Any advice on how to handle this scenario? Is my model for using a transactional publication to cascade changes to a subset of servers incorrect?

Error While Merging Snapshot Containing A CLR Assembly Schema At The Subscriber
Sep 26, 2007
Hi ,
I urgently need a solution for this. I have configured merge replication between a webhoster and a local machine
and it is working perfectly but when I am adding an article (table) which has a CLR assembly associated with it,
the merge replication is failing saying it cannot apply the schema of the CLR assembly at the client. I think Microsoft
supposedly says in it's documentation that merge replication supports CLR assemblies. I have recreated the snapshot
after selecting the table (article) and I have reinitialised the subscription also but it is just not working. It is the simplest
of replication with just one publisher and one subscriber.
Thanks,
Andy

Jan 29, 2007
I am Having trouble trying to set up SQL Server Replication Utilising Web Synchronisation Where the
IIS(Web Server) is on a separate machine to the SQL Server(Publisher). I am using MSDE as the SQL Server Box, however even when I used SQLServer2000, or SQLServer2005 I have had no joy with the 2 separate Servers setup.
If I have the one server then I have no problems (i.e. One Server Setup)
Server A: Windows 2000,
with MSDE installed
enabled for Merge replication,
and has a Publication set up.
IIS Web Page Setup for Synchronisation
My SQL Server 2005 Mobile device syncs via the web page on ServerA Fine, no problems at all.
The Trouble is when I am trying to utilise SQL Server Replication as follows. (i.e. 2 Server Setup)
Basically I am using the Same ServerA as in the one Server setup I had above. All I have done is I am now using a Separate IIS Server for the Web Synchronisation ServerB
I have run the "Configure Web Synchronisation Wizard"(ConnWiz30.exe) on my web page on ServerB. And I am using Anonymous Access Authentication With Windows NT Authentication on my Web Server(ServerB),
the Anonymous User is a Domain user, and is the Same Domain User I used in the One Server setup which I had working (so this IIS Anonymous Domain user should have all permissions required on the ServerA (SQL Publisher) both Windows permissions and SQL Server Permissions.
Server A: Windows 2000,
with MSDE installed
enabled for Merge replication,
and has a Publication set up.
Server B: Windows XP, IIS Web Server(Web page enabled for Web Synchronisation)
I have a Mobile device as a subscriber, which is using Web Synchronisation on ServerB(Web Server), to sync with the ServerA (MSDE Box).
The error I am receiving is "A Call to SQL Server Reconciler has Failed" Try to resynchronise, "The Process Could Not deliver the Snapshot to the Subscriber"
A little extra info:
-I can remotely connect from my Web server(ServerB) to the SQL Box ServerA via a TCP/IP ODBC connection so remote connections does not seem to be an issue.
-If on My Mobile device if I try to Add a Subscription & Synchronise the replication using the
AddSubscription(AddOption.ExistingDatabase), it works fine. (Obviously the subscription database does exist before the synchronisation)
If I try to Add a Subscription & Synchronise the replication using the
AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase), I get the error as mentioned.
Is there something I have missed? Any help you can provide is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Snapshot Location On A Clustered Server And Kerberos Authentication
Nov 8, 2005Hi,
View 3 Replies View RelatedSQL Express 2005 Snapshot Replication On Disconnected/Closed Networks
Jul 9, 2007I am having trouble setting up my Pull Subscription and I am new to replication.
I have several servers hosting a databased website that will be the same, except for user input and traffic. Quite simply, I need to copy most tables, SPs and data from network to network. I can't use FTP/Web synch ... as I mentioned the networks do not touch eachother or the internet.
On server Web1, it was easy to create a Publication called Pub via the wizard for my database: TheDB. Then on Web1, again, I added a Subscription to the Publication, indicating my second server, Web2, and the same database name: TheDB (I have already backed up and restored TheDB to all my servers). Here's one of the sp's I ran on Web1:
use [TheDB]
exec sp_addsubscription @publication = N'Pub', @subscriber = N'Web2'', @destination_db = N'TheDB', @sync_type = N'Automatic', @subscription_type = N'pull', @update_mode = N'read only'
GO
This is where I feel stuck. Using the wizard on Web2 doesn't allow me to see Web1. So I tried the following on Web2:
use [TheDB]
exec sp_addpullsubscription @publisher = N'Web1', @publication = N'Pub', @publisher_db = N'TheDB', @independent_agent = N'True', @subscription_type = N'pull', @description = N'', @update_mode = N'read only', @immediate_sync = 1
exec sp_addpullsubscription_agent @publisher = N'Web1', @publisher_db = N'TheDB', @publication = N'Pub', @distributor = N'Web1', @distributor_security_mode = 1, @distributor_login = N'', @distributor_password = null, @enabled_for_syncmgr = N'False', @frequency_type = 1, @frequency_interval = 0, @frequency_relative_interval = 0, @frequency_recurrence_factor = 0, @frequency_subday = 0, @frequency_subday_interval = 0, @active_start_time_of_day = 0, @active_end_time_of_day = 0, @active_start_date = 0, @active_end_date = 19950101, @alt_snapshot_folder = N'', @working_directory = N'', @use_ftp = N'True', @job_login = null, @job_password = null, @publication_type = 0
GO
I copied the snapshot folder, ie. 20070709134423, onto CD and moved it into Web2's default replication folder, but I always receive: cannot connect to Distibutor. I've tried using an Alias, as well, but don't understand exactly how I should point that either. I checked the publication's PAL and my Web2 user has rights and is an owner of the Web2 TheDB database.
Any help is appreciated.

Large MSMerge_History, MSMerge_genhistory,MSRepl_errors Tables In SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (Merge Push Subscriber)
Nov 23, 2006SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition act as publisher and distributor.
All subscribers are SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
According to 2005 book online, "MSMerge_History table exists in distribution database". Howevey I found this table in Subscriber database which is in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
The problem is this table (MSMerge_History) and other two tables (MSMerge_genhistory, MSRepl_errors) are quite large. We want to keep SQL Server 2005 Express database as small as possible so we can put more data into it.
Is there anyway (Manually or automatically) to clean those tables in SQL Server 2005 Express? Please help.
Can Multiple Workstations Running SQL 2005 Server Express Attach To The Same Database Files On A Shared Network Location?
Mar 15, 2007Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?

Can I Sync With SQL Server Express?
Jun 4, 2008
After reading alot of articles over the past few days, some things have become more clear, while others haven't.
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 .NET, SQL Server Express 2005 SP2, and SQL CE 2005 3.1.. The PC I'm developing on runs Vista, so I enabled IIS in the Control Panel.
I'm developing an application for the desktop PC, which connects to a local instance of SQL Express.. I also have developed basically a small data-capture app for the Pocket PC 2003 .. I have 3 very small tables I would like to keep synced, between the PC and the handheld, when the user docks the handheld into the docking cradle... is this possible with SQL Express? And if so, is IIS absolutely required to exchange data between the database on the PC, and the database on the handheld?
PS.
To explain the table interaction a bit further... say Tables A & B have information that is added/edited using the desktop application.. any time the handheld is cradled, I'd like the user to be able to update the tables A & B on the handheld with any data that has changed...
Meanwhile, the user captures data with the handheld, and these records are stored in table C.. when the handheld is cradled, any new records in the handheld in table C, I would like to have added to table C in the PC as well

That code worked fine if you want to actually connect to the database at school but I want to send everything right through sqlexpress on my own machine so I can work on the programs at home.
The following is the code to connect to the school database, how would I change it to connect through sqlexpress instead?

What I tried was replacing the dialog for the school database with just the text sqlexpress but that certainly didn't work.
