HELP!!!
I need some urgent help. I'm managing merge replication between 12 servers. Today I had to make some changes in the database design, so I removed replication, altered the tables in question (on all servers)and created a new publication.
I choose the option that all subscribers have the data and the schema, but when I start the replication I get almost immediately an error "Invalid column name rowguidcol". But there is no column in my database with such a name. Further investigation brings up another message "xp_execresultset: unable to execute result set".
Can anyone please help me. The database should be ready by tomorrow.
TIA Markus
I am trying to do mearge replication with in our organisation. One server is located at server room(version 7.0) and it runs on NT server. Another server(desktop edition (version 7.0)) is at my desktop runs on NT Workstation. I am creating mearge replication from my machine making server room machine as Publisher and distributor and my desktop server as subscriber. But after creating replication when i view mearge agent job status it says that connection to my machine is failed. And because of this my replication is not working.
on both the servers "SQL Server Agent" service is running and i am also logging into both the servers with the same login with sa server role
I am getting following error in the "error details merge agent" dialog box
catagory -------------source -------------------------Number
Agent-------- "subscription server name" --------------20084
Data Source ---"subscription server name"-------------- 6
please help me if any one has solution
thanks in advance

HI,
We have one publisher and 100 subscribers. And Subscribers again act as re-publisher for 3-4 win CE (Handheld) based device subscribers. Now. We have already done the setup and it is working fine.
Now due to some change in horizontal filters set in the publisher, we have change in publication. NOw whenever I make any change in publication, it says all subscribers will be marked for reinitialization and snapshot agent will run and new schema will be applied whenever next time merge agent runs.
But whenever I run the merge agent, the snapshot agent fails saying invalid column ... . I am not able to revert the changes as the same error persists even after bringing the publication back to the original state.
To add to the complexity, we have also used dynamic snapshots between publisher and suscribers.
So, Can anyone please tell me how can I change the publication script without deleting the subscribers?Any pointers in this direction are really appreciated.
Regards
Rahul
We have a publisher and 2 subsribers. The subscribers are spanning 2 transactions/sec. We have inplemented merge replication and it was scheduled to occur every 5 min. When we start the replication, the replications is going on without any problem for sometime(may be some hours), but after that it failes with the message, "the process could not deliver inserts at the publisher". We have SAN. When I searched for this error in google, it asked me to increase the queytimeout value in agent profile. So I increased it from 300 to 600, but in vain. If anybosy could help me in this, that would be great. Thanks, Preethi.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two databases A & B which have a merge replication between them. Both are live data. I wanted to alter table in db A, so i deleted subscription and altered the table from db A. After that i rebuilt the replication between A & B with initialization but now my replication fails. Every time i get different error messages..recently i get message of 'Subscriber failed to initialize'. Could anyone suggest how to resolve this? Urgent please.

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!

Hi
I am new to Sql server and had just finished the MErge Replication setup on one of the PRoduction server. Today I got the request to change one of the Datatype of one the Published Article. Please help as what are the correct step to make it happen. Is there any production downtime required and if yes , then how much.
Thanks in Advance

We have SQL Server 2000 with merge replication at a Publisher and subscriber.
We have some records getting deleted at Publisher and Subscriber and no conflicts are logged.
We have tried the compensate_for_errors setting and this has had no effect.
This is causing serious data corruption and has now become an URGENT issue. Out tech team are almost out of ideas.
Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas as to what to check next?
What is the main difference between snapshot and transactional and merge replication?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I know that adding a column using ALTER TABLE to add a column automatically allows SQLSERVER 2005 to replicate the schema changes to the subscribers, however, I would like to add a new column to an existing article that is being used for merge replication, however, I don't want this column to be replicated. Re-initialising the subscriptions is not a option. Help would be appreciated.
I am using SQLSERVER 2005 (SP1).
I am working on bringing our disaster recovery site to be a live site. Currently we replicate to one of out servers (server B) with merge replication (from server A). Server A also does one way transactional replication form some table to several other servers including servers at the DR site.
This setup is not going to be fast enough for what we need so I am wondering if a table is receiving merge replication will the merge updates also replicate down the transaction path??
Example...
Server B update a row and merges to Server A. With this update them replicate (via transactional) to Server C??
thanks...
I've successfully carried out pull subscription using Wizard in SQL server 2000.
But NOW its the time to deploy the project & I've to do it programatically........
i tried to use the default stored procedures like "sp_addmergepullsubscription ", "sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent ", "sp_reinitmergepullsubscription ", with respective parameters.
Then using replmerge.exe i tried to execute the batch file But could not succeed......
Can anyone guide me from the Basics ??? (i knw the Replication Architecture its heirarchy....but have NO idea of performing it Programatically......!!!!!!!!)
by BASICS, i mean......how should i execute the resp. stored procedures with what parametes & the order i should follow in order to successfully pull a merge subscription in SQL server 2000.
if a Sample code is mentioned as example, would be better for me to understand....
Thanking all of you in anticipation...........

Hi,
My production box is running on NT4.0,SP6, SQL Server7.0,SP2. We implemented Merge replication. Working fine last 7 months. Last weekend i disabled replication, Successfully removed Distributor and Publishor. After that try add new fileds but won't allowed me. It's give the error message. I Also found Some Conflict_tables found almost 20 tables. All system Tables. Can delete these these tables, if i delete any problem my database.
I added filelds many times but this time i got errors.
Please help me anybody.
I have just installed replication on our production server to Merge Replicate with a Laptop server that will travel from time to time. I have now noticed that we cannot add or change any fields or attributes on the tables which are being replicated (which are all tables in the DB). This is a problem because we are changing and adding columns all of the time. Is there a way around this issue like shutting down the replication service or something? I have been unsuccessful in finding a way around this other than removing replication while we make changes.
Thank you in advance for any help!
I have implemented a Merger replication on our development server and I get a fillowing error when I try to update one of the table in publisher.
"Transaction cannot start while in firehose mode"
What does this mean.
Thank You,

Hi,

If I am right...
Can any one point me how to find out this option and how to set it up....

Hi all,
I have a merge replication going between 4 servers. The problem is when ever I do some BCP transfer to one of the tables in one of the servers. It puts the data in that table. But that Data does not get replicated to any other server like it should.
Please Advice on what to do. Is there any option I am forgetting to set or something.
Thank you for all your time in advance.

Hi All,
I have posted this earlier and I am re-posting it simplifying what I had said.
The scenario is:
I have two sql server database instances with the same database schema and all. However, both of them have different data. I have not set them for replication at all. Now, I want to do merge replication between them such that the data between them could be syncronized.
When I do pull merge subscription I have two choices -
1.Bringing schema and data to subscriber from publisher
2.Not bringing the schema and data from publisher to subscriber.
Obviously, I chose the second choice. But upon syncronizing I dont see any data from publisher coming to subscriber and vice-versa. If I add new data to publisher and do syncronization, I can see ONLY the new data created after the replication setup in subscriber. If I add new data to subscriber and do syncronization then the new data is removed from subscriber and not propagated to publisher.
Is there any way I can make this work??

Hi,
I have just set up Merge replication, I have two servers, server A and server B, the merge replication worked successfully but I don't quite sure which databases should or should not replicated? If not, what other methods should I use?
I would really appreciated any comments or advice out there!

Hi everyone
SQL Server BOL says merge replication can be done in only one direction. But my understanding is Merge replication happens in both ways between publisher and subscriber.
How can i allow data movement from only wince sql ce subscribers and not from publisher running sql 2000 and win 2k.
Please reply immediately bcoz i require a solution which has to be implemented very soon.
Thanks in advance

I am in a process of learning Replication in MSDE, especially Merge Replication
Server runs on MS-XP Professional
--------------------------------------
I have a sample Access project 'ReplTest' which has only table with only 2 columns.
DatabaseName:ReplTestDB
Table Name :TestTable
MSDE Instance Name:SVRMYINSTANCE
Now I would like to know how I can configure this database for merge replication
using SQL-DMO
Laptop runs on MS-XP Professional
--------------------------------------
I have another access project which is running on computer 2 and connected to the
ReplicaTest database.
MSDE Instance Name:LPTMYINSTANCE
My task is, when I am disconnected from server I would like to have a local copy of
the database to work with and then, when reconnected, need synchronization with the
server database and continue working from server database.
How to write this replication process from scratch using SQL-DMO objects in both Server computer
and Laptop computer.
I dont have enterprise manager in both computers since they use only MSDE
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a problem when doing merge replication. I need to have a identity column on both the publisher and subscriber, eg id. When the publisher is down, my app will now reference to the subscriber and insert into the subscriber. However when the publisher is up, the app will reference to publisher and start to insert into the publisher. This will cause conflict in the id. Also, i need the id to be in running order, therefore i cant use range for publisher and subscriber. Anyone have idea how to solve this problem?

Hello,
I am having a problem getting my merge replication to work out. I am wanting to make it where the merge happens on demand. I have tried to run replmerg through cmd prompt and I get the error 'The subscription to publication [namehere] has expired or does not exist.' I have had no problems running the merge agent within Enterprise Manager. I have thought of running windows sync manager but I do not want my people to have to type a password in everytime they need to sync. I am running the whole replication process through FTP. I am in desperate need of help. Anything would be great!
Thanks
Is it possible to setup a server as both a Publisher and Subscriber of the same database in a Merge Replication setup?
