SQL Server 2008 :: Transactional Replication Snapshot - Does Not Generate Any Files For New Article

Oct 22, 2015

There is a SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Clustered Instance that has Transactional Replication. It is by no means a large replication setup in terms of data/article count. SQL Server was recently patched to SP3 and is current on Windows 2008 R2 Patches.

When I added a new article to replication (via 2014 SSMS GUI) it seems to add everything correctly (replication tables/procs show the new article as part of the publication).
The Publication is set to allow the snapshot to generate for just new articles (setting immediate_sync & allow_anonymous to false).

When the snapshot agent is run, it runs without error and claims to have generated a snapshot of 1 article. However the snapshot folder only contains a folder for the instance (that does have the modified time of the snapshot agent execution) and none of the regular bcp/schema files.

The tables never make it to the subscribers and replication continues on without error for the existing articles. No agents produce any errors and running the snapshot agent w/ verbose output provides no errors or insight into any possible issues.

I have tried:

- dropping/re-adding the article in question.

- Setting up a new Snapshot Folder

- Validated all the settings and configurations

I'm hesitant to reinitialize a subscriber since I am not confident a snapshot can be generated. Also wondering if this is related to the SP3 Upgrade, every few months new articles are added to the publication and this is the first time since the upgrade to SP3 that it has been done.

Error 627: Transactional Repl. SQL 7.0

Nov 11, 1999

The problem case for transactional replication in MS SQL 7.0 is as follows:
Server A (intended publisher)
Server B (distributor, intended subscriber)

When configuring replication, the distributor (B) can be configured easily; the publisher (A) that uses B as its distributor will not allow for a publication to be created using either the Enterprise Manager wizards or TSQL commands. The error '627: Cannot use SAVE TRANSACTION within a distributed transaction' occurs when creating the publication.

Any suggestions; I need some help ASAP.

Thanks

Not Applying The Initial Snapshot When Setting Up Tran Repl.

Jul 20, 2005

I am setting up a combination of transactional and merge replicationon a very large database and do not want to apply the initial snapshotsince this would take to long. I am doing this with scripts that werepreviosly created when the database was not this big. I want to copythe publisher DB over to the Subscriber Server. Can I use theparameter @sync_type to 'none' when running the sp_addsubscription?Does anyone have any experience in doing this?Thanks in Advance for any help on this.Alan

SQL Server 2008 :: Transactional Replication (Snapshot Agent)

Mar 19, 2015

Is there a way to force the snapshot to use a format file when bcp'ng the data to the subscriber?

The publisher and subscriber schemas are slightly different. Mainly added columns to the subscriber.

We have a post snapshot script that updates these additional columns on the subscriber.

I'd like to force the snapshot to use a format file, so it doesn't error when initially loading the data to the subscriber.

Is this possible?

SQL Server 2008 :: Transactional Replication Snapshot In Multiple Files

Sep 15, 2015

We have a large database with a small number of large tables in it (and a larger number of SMALLER tables), and it is a publisher for a transactional replication scenario. When I create a snapshot to initialize a new subscription, I notice with the larger tables that sometimes it generates multiple files in the snapshot folder, usually in multiples of 16, and numbers them like this:

MyTable_3#1.bcp
MyTable_3#2.bcp
...
MyTable_3#16.bcp

With other tables, I'll get just one LARGE snapshot file, named:

MyOtherTable_4.bcp

In the latter case, the file can be very large (most recent is 38GB).

In both cases, the subscription will eventually be initialized, but the smaller files will generate separate log entries every few minutes in the Replication Monitor, showing 'Bulk Copied data into 'MyTable' (34231221 rows)', whereas the larger table will generate only ONE log entry, showing 'Bulk coping data into table 'MyOtherTable', and it may take a couple of hours before there is anything else showing...except for an entry saying, 'The process is running and is waiting for a response from the server.'

My question is: what would be the difference between the two tables that would result in one generating MULTIPLE snapshot files, the other only a single, much larger one? The only difference I can see in the table definition is that the one generating multiple files has a clustered index, whereas the others do not.

SQL 2005 Server (SP2) To SQL 2005 Express (SP2) Replication Looping/Excessive Repl Times

Sep 25, 2007

We have a large number of clients attempting to replicate two publications on 2005 Express databases (2 publications subscribed to the one subscriber database) with our 2005 Server (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Standard Edition) and experiencing two significant problems:

1) Users experience the following message:

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).

This problem should not apparently occur with SQL Server 2005 (or 2005 Express) instances with SP2 applied. All clients experiencing this problem have SP2 installed as does our Server and the retention period is 30 days. The subscribers have been replicating well under that.


2) Replications never succeed after appearing to replicate/loop around for hours

This issue is the most critical as we have clients who have been installed and re-installed with new instances of SQL Server 2005 Express, new empty databases (on subscriber before snapshot extraction), and using fresh snapshots (less than an few hours old) which cannot successfully replicate.

Interestingly there is at least 1 instance where several computers are subscribed and successfully replicating the same database as another where replication refuses to succeed.

To test we have taken a republished database from another 2005 Server which is working fine and restored it to the same server as the one holding the database with which we are experiencing problems and subscribed to it. This test worked fine and replication of both publications went through fast and repeatedly without showing any signs of problem.

This indicates that the problem is perhaps data related as it appears localised to that database.

Below are two screenshots which may assist.

Screenshot 1 Shows that on the server side the replication attempts look like they are succeeding despite the fact that the subscriber end does not indicate success. Also the history indicates the the subscription has spent all it's time initialising and not merging any changes.

Screenshot 2 Shows a rogue process which has appears on many of the problem child subscribers. It shows a process running with no end time even though the job indicates failure in the message and even though other replication attempts appear to have succeeded after it. This process stays in the history showing that it is running even when I can find no corresponding process for it.

Can anyone suggest a further course of action/further testing/further information required which may assist?

This is extremely urgent and any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Transactional Replication And Snapshot Schedule

May 21, 2002

I've set up Transactional replication Pushed from SQL 7 to SQL 2000. All works fine accept I have noticed that the snapshot agent is running once a week and storing a lot of data I don't really need in c:msql7
epldataunc
eplicationnamedatastamp. This is gradually building up and as C is a smallish partition it'll only survive for another week.

My questions are:
1) Can the Snapshot schedule be disabled? I'm under the impression that it's only required when a new subscriber comes along which is never! If I do need a new subscriber I could just manually produce another snapshot.

2) Can I delete the previous snapshot folders under ReplData? On a development server I renamed one of the folders and the ground didn't open up below my feet.

3) What effect would changing the working folder used by the distribution agen have, the distributer is on the publisher (which as I mentioned is pushing) I've tried changing the working folder, on a development server, I manually ran a snapshot which whose BCP files all ended up in my new location and the Transactional Replication didn't seem to care.

I've looked in a few places for a difinitive answer and I'm not having much luck so any help (preferably before saturday) would be greatly appreciated.

Regards.

Combining Transactional And Snapshot Replication

Feb 2, 2004

Hi

I am in the process of setting up replication between two SQL boxes - the first being the production SQL Server and the second being a secondary server which is to be used as part of a web portal solution. (In fact there are two pairs of SQL boxes - SQL 7 and SQL 2k, one of each on the LAN and one of each at the hosting site.)

We need to have near realtime replication, so transactional replication is the desired mechanism. The trouble is that not all tables have primary keys defined. Oh yes, and the main database is 20G in size and has >900 user tables! :-0 (The other databases are much better behaved!)

When I set up transactional replication, I am allowed only to include tables which have PKs defined. AFAIK, the initial transactional replication snapshot will also only include these same tables.

If I set up snapshot replication (separately), I can include all the tables in the database. However, I cannot then replicate in real time.

Can I combine the two replication schemes to deliver updates to the same target database:
- transactional replication delivering realtime updates to the tables with PKs during the day and
- snapshot replication updating all the tables once per 24hrs at night?

Or is there a better way of doing this?

I am not sure whether I can modify the existing schemas, as some of the databases are 'maintained' by an external provider. Even if I could, if I had to add a column to have a PK, I would potentially be adding to my diskspace requirement rather significantly...

TIA

Transactional Replication && Snapshot Agent

Jun 27, 2007

Why would you schedule a Snapshot Agent to run daily, weekly, monthly, etc. for Transactional replication when the transactions are replicated once the change is committed to the Publication database?



Does this help to replicate DDL against the Subscriber?



Thanks,

How Often To Rebuild Snapshot In Transactional Replication

Mar 27, 2007

Hello,

We are running transactional replication in a high volume environment and we are starting to see high IO on the distribution database when the distribution cleanup runs. We only build the snapshot once a week and I was wondering if I rebuilt the snapshot more often it would reduce the size of the distribution database and the amount of IO that are being generated during the cleanup?



Thanks in advance

Alternate Snapshot Location For Transactional Replication

Jun 2, 2006

Hi,
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,

Transactional Replication - Automating A Regular Snapshot

Feb 13, 2004

I have transactional replication running. I would like the Snapshot Agent to run regularly (once per day, probably, at 23:00) so that the target data are completely refreshed so that there is little possibility of the target getting out of sync.

The Snapshot Agent's job is kicking off OK, but the "snapshot was not generated because no subscriptions needed initialization". I know I can initialise the subscriptions manually - is there a way to do this so that the initialisation happens just before the snapshot job launches?

Or is this a bad thing to want to do?

TIA

Creating Snapshot / Transactional Table By Appending

Feb 6, 2015

I am very new to SQL coming from a SAS background.

I work at a College where I am trying to create a table that basically stores application data so that I can record how many applications we had on a set day.

For example I want to run it say bi-weekly and create a date/time stamp for each row and then the next time it runs it appends to the original table but with the new date/time stamp.

I have managed to create the table and the date/time stamp but I'm not sure how to do the next stage.

This is not the best practice as the table will get "big" quite quickly (although we're only dealing in the hundreds in terms of rows). Ideally I'd have a more transactional database that only appends a record if there is a change i.e. the status of the application has changed from "Received" to "Interview" or similar.

I'm not sure how to copy and paste the code dynamically in this forum but this is what I have got so far (see below).

SELECT
CC.cc_name as Academy,
SUBSTRING(CC2.cc_reference,1,4) as Cost_Centre,
MD2.m_reference as Course,
MD2.m_name as Course_Name,
CAST(MD2.m_start AS DATE) as Start_Date,

[Code] ...

Initializing Transactional Replication Without A Snapshot In SQL 2000

Nov 10, 2006

SQL Server 2005 Books Online provides an article entitled, "Initializing a Transactional Subscription without a Snapshot". Is it possible in SQL Server 2000 to initialize transactional replication without a snapshot?

So far, I have been unable to find a similar procedure mentioned in the SQL 2000 Books Online. I was able to follow the 2005 procedure using SQL 2000 until I got to the step that says to enable the "Allow initialization from backup files" option on the "Subscription Options" tab of the "Publication Properties" dialog. But that option does not appear in the SQL 2000 version of the specified dialog box.

Any ideas?

Do I Really Need A Snapshot (to Initialize Transactional Replication, In SQL2000)?

Feb 20, 2006

I have a pretty big (350 gb) OLTP database that I want to replicate in its entirety. I'm concerned about the impact of taking a snapshot of it (it is processing at some level pretty much 24x7). I know on SQL2005 there is the option to initialize from backup, but unfortunately we won't be on 2005 in time.

I'm thinking of doing something like this:

Set up the distributor, publication, and subscription
Turn off distribution agent
Set the publisher to "sync with backup"
Backup the publisher, full then log
Truncate tables MSrepl_transactions and MSrepl_commands in the distribution db (I don't have any other replication going on)
Turn off "sync with backup"
Restore the full and tran log backups to new subscriber db
Create subscriber stored procs in subscriber
Start up distribution agent

I'm looking for opinions on whether it's worth going this route to avoid taking the snapshot. Data integrity is the number one priority -- if I have to do a snapshot to ensure that, I will do it.

Thanks in advance!

SQL 2012 :: Script Failure During Snapshot For Transactional Replication

Apr 9, 2014

I built a number of publications on a SQL Server 2005 box to replicate to a SQL Server 2012 subscriber. All the publications except one are fine. During the snapshot phase of schema script generation I get Script Failed for Table 'dbo.MediaDisplayLibraryFileData'. From the Replication monitor for the Snapshot Agent on the Publication I get, "Column FileData in object MediaDisplayLibraryFileData contains type VarBinaryMax, which is not supported in the target server version, SQL Server 2000." This message makes no sense since the target server version is 2012. I have even checked that the compatibility level was set to 110 before I started the process of setting up replication. How do I resolve this error?

Transactional Replication - Pull Subscription Snapshot Being Applied Continuously

Jan 25, 2007

Hi

We have setup transactional replication between 2 databases on SQL Server 2000 SP3a  (~70GB), using a concurrent snapshot (to prevent locking out of the live database) to initilaise the data and a pull subscription from the second database.

From analysing the msdistribution_history table in the distribution database on the subscriber it appears that the snapshot is being applied in a continuous loop to the subscriber database. Viewing the comments column in the msdistribution_history table we can see the following sequence of events occuring

Initialising
Applied script 'snapshot.pre'
Then it applies all the schema files .sch
Then it applies all the index files .idx
The it bulk copies the data in (bcp)
Then it creates the Primary Keys
Then it applies all the trigger files .trg
Then it applies all the referential integrity files .dri

These all complete successfully but then the process kicks off again immediately after reapplying the snapshot.  We are unaware of any settings that may be causing this.

Any help on what maybe causing this would be much appreciated.

Merge Repl. Between 2000 & 2005

Sep 15, 2006

I'm in trouble again. I want to make merge replication between SS 2000 Enterprise and SS 2005 Express edition. 2000 will be publisher, 2005 will be subscriber. In addition I want to use push subsription at 2000 side, very last thing is it will be download only (I know how to make a merge rep. downloadonly, thanks god!). That's all I want to do.

I made a little search, it seems what I want can't be done automatically, using SMO or scripts is suggested. In one of other forums I saw "distibuter>=publisher>=subsriber" (refering sql server versions). Is it an incontestable truth that I cannot make SS 2000 a publisher where SS 2005 Express is subscriber?

How can I achieve my goal, isn't there anyway to make 2000 publisher for merge replication while a 2005 Express is subscriber?

Thanks

Merge Repl/new Bcp Files After 2005 Upgrade

May 27, 2008

I'll start off by saying these questions were submitted to Microsoft and no
one can give us an answer without them doing a source code review. Their
response was "these are internal BCP scripts that are used by SQL"....yes, I
know that....that doesn't help to explain why the system created them. At
this point, I don't want my compary to pay support hours for Microsoft
personnel to learn what their software does.
--------------------
We've had merge publication in place for several years.

Last year, we added some tables/articles to publications.

After the upgrade from SQL Server 2000 SP4 Standard to SQL Server 2005 SP2
Standard, when the snapshot was run, the system created some new files that
had never existed before. Also, and more importantly, these files were only
created for the articles added after the initial snapshot was created.
Articles existing in the intial snapshot did not have these type of files
created.

Examples of these files for a SA_MOVE table that was added to an existing
publication:

MSmerge_contents_SA_MOVE.bcp
MSmerge_contents_SA_MOVE_forall.bcp
MSmerge_rowtrack_SA_MOVE90.bcp
sysmergesubsetfilters_SA_MOVE.bcp
sysmergesubsetfilters_SA_MOVE90.bcp


Also some new bcps created were:

MSmerge_contents90_forall.bcp
MSmerge_genhistory90.bcp
MSmerge_rowtrack90.bcp
sysmergesubsetfilters90.bcp


The system wanted to apply these files before it would start synchronizing
data so they had to be delivered to the subscriber. It appears it was the
sysmergesubsetfilters_ files that it wanted to apply. These are all 0 in
size and we do not have filter on(at least not as far as I know...see the
addmergearticle code below).

New databases created this year that had all of the articles defined in the
publication before the initial snapshot was taken did not get these
additional files created, nor did the system want to try to send files to the
subscriber before syncrhonization could begin.

This is an example of how an article had been cretead under SQL Server 2000
when adding a new database, before an initial snapshot is run:

exec sp_addmergearticle @publication = N'Last', @article = N'SA_MOVE',
@source_owner = N'dbo', @source_object = N'SA_MOVE', @type = N'table',
@description = null, @column_tracking = N'true', @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop',
@creation_script = null, @schema_option = 0x000000003000EFF1,
@article_resolver = null, @subset_filterclause = null, @vertical_partition =
N'false', @destination_owner = N'dbo', @verify_resolver_signature = 0,
@allow_interactive_resolver = N'false', @fast_multicol_updateproc = N'true',
@check_permissions = 0

This is an example of how an article was added under SQL Server 2000 to an
existing publication that already had the initial snapshot run:

exec sp_addmergearticle @publication = N'Last', @article = N'SA_MOVE',
@source_owner = N'dbo', @source_object = N'SA_MOVE', @type = N'table',
@description = null, @column_tracking = N'true', @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop',
@creation_script = null, @schema_option = 0x000000000000EFF1,
@article_resolver = null, @subset_filterclause = null, @vertical_partition =
N'false', @destination_owner = N'dbo', @auto_identity_range = N'false',
@verify_resolver_signature = 0, @allow_interactive_resolver = N'false',
@fast_multicol_updateproc = N'true', @check_permissions = 0,
@force_invalidate_snapshot = 1


A few questions:

Does anyone have an idea why the system created these files are part of the
2005 upgrade?

What is the real purpose of the files with names such as _forall.bcp ?

Thanks for any help/info on this,

Doug

Transactional Replicating Hanging SQL Server 2005

Dec 22, 2005

Hi,

It appears that every 5 or so days, my transactional replication is hanging.  I see that I have a couple thousand undistributed commands and this number keeps growing.  It forces me to generate a snapshot in order to sync up.  When generating the snapshot, I will get frequent messages like "waiting for a response from server...".  So I will keep stopping and starting syncronization.  Eventually the snapshot will go out, with a delay after generation. 

Has anyone experienced this? 

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

Transactional Replication From SQL Server 2005 To SQL Server 2000

Nov 8, 2006

I am trying to test simple replication (only tables) of a database that resides on a SQL Server 2005 instance to a SQL Server 2000 instance. The Publisher and Distributer are set up on the SQL Server 2005 instance for Transactional replication. The subscriber is set up on in the 2000 instance. Replication Monitor shows the following error after applying a few scripts:
"Category: SQLSERVER Source SQLSERVER2000 Number: 170 Message: Line 6: Incorrect syntax near
'max'."


Here SQLSERVER2000 is the name of my 2000 instance, as should be obvious.

Beyond this point, replication fails. Any pointers as to where the problem could lie? Is this a known backward compatibility issue? I've checked all tables in the database and none contain any datatype that is new to 2005 (the database was actually created in and for SQL Server 2000.

Replication from 2000 to 2005 works fine, but the other way round is failing as described above. Any clues?
