Copy Replication Publication Definition
Jun 12, 2006
Is there an easy way to copy a replication publication definition from one server to another? In our environment we have a development environment, testing environment and soon a production environment. Right now keeping the replication definition between the development and testing environments is a manual process, are there tools that can do a diff on this or a way to keep this in sync?
For example when we change what information gets replicated in the development environment I need a way to propogate that change to the testing environment.
I know I can generate scripts from within SQL Server Management Studio, but it creates scripts very machine specific. So short of going through that and modifying the server names to match the different environments, is there a better way?

I've got a weird one here. I'm running a DTS package on SQL Server2005. It copies a bunch of stored procedures. I renamed them on theoriginating server and ran the DTS again.The came over with the old name and code!I deleted the DTS and built it from scratch, and the same thinghappened.I ran SELECT * FROM sys.objects where type = 'P' on the source serverand the names were correctI'm explicitly checking which sp to copy rather than using Copy all. Ican see the sp namesI've deleted and recreated the sp on the source server using scriptsI've checked the source server nameI've Refreshed everywhereNothing worksWhy is up_Department_GetAllBySchool trying to be be pulled over whenit doesn't exist?Why is up_Department_GetBySchool not being pulled over when it doesexist?I've heard that SQL 2005 pre-SP2 has a problem where renaming anobject that has a text definition (like sprocs, functions, triggers,views) doesn't update the definition. So if you pull that objectdefinition and run it into your new database, it will use the originalscript, which has the original name.I ransp_helptext 'up_Department_GetBySchool'and checked the CREATE statement at the top. Sure enough, it had theold textI asked our NetAdmin to install SP2 on our server. Then I ransp_refreshsqlmodule 'up_Department_GetForSchool'and got this error:Invalid object name 'up_Department_GetAllForSchool'.So even the code which was supposed to fix it, doesn't. Has anyoneelse had this problem, and managed to fix it?--John Hunter

I have one Publisher! (SQL 2005)
Two Subscribers. (SQL 2005)
Each subscriber requires different row filter from the published tables.
So, i need to create Two publications for each subscriber for the same db.
When i setup first publication, and apply filters to published tables.
All goes fine.
As soon i create an other publication with same published tables but DIFFERENT row filter; the log reader agent fails!
The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on 'DB1'. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL20011)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL20011
Execution of filter stored procedure 2076702271 failed. See the SQL Server errorlog for more information. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 18764)
Get help: http://help/18764
The Log Reader Agent failed to construct a replicated command from log sequence number (LSN) {0008443a:000003b5:003e}. Back up the publication database and contact Customer Support Services. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 18805)
:confused:
I have tried to re-initialze the subscriptions and re-run snapshots but no luck.
As i remove the row filter from the second publication; log reader starts working fine.
Previously i was using Merge replication and all was going BUT, on very large DML on publisher, we use to receive deadlock errors on application.
I decided to use Tran repl instead because log reader reads the changes from tran-log instead of locking the published tables; NOW I AM STUCK!
Ideas please!!!!

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...

I am at my wits end here. For Replication the Books Online clearly state:
"The option to allow transformations is set at the time you create a publication"
However, I cannot find any options that allow me to do this in the Create Publication Wizard.
Once the Publication has been created I see in the Properties in the Subscription Options tab that "Use DTS to transform data before distributing it to a Subscriber" is set to No and there is no way to change it.
Where am I going wrong?

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.

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

I wanted to schedule the transaction replication. How do I do it? Currently I have set up a transaction replication which runs continuously and synchronizes the changes with immediate effect.
I need to configure a replication which will gather logs from the publication once in a day.
Is there any possibility?

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

I'm trying to setup merge replication and get the following error from the snapshot agent after I've finished the 'New Publication Wizard'. This doesn't make sense to me as it is an automatic process. Also, it looks like it is complaining about a 'dbo.MSmerge_cont...' view which is a view created automatically for the merge publication.

I have an existing publication in sql 2012 with 2 articles, and then I add 2 more articles. After that when I generate a snapshot, will the snapshot be generated for 2 new articles only or for all 4 articles?
I remember adding 1 new articles to one existing publication with 150 articles and when I generated snapshot, it was generated only for 1 article. But I don't remember clearly.
Does it behave differently for small and large number of articles?

I have transactional replication configured where the publisher and subscriber are on two different servers. Yesterday a database upgrade was carried out, and the DBA dropped replication by issuing sp_removedbreplication on the published database. The subscription is still set up.
I have two questions:
1 - What is the safest way to temporarily switch off replication without losing the publication or subscription? As far as I was aware (my replication knowledge isn't great), simply disabling the relevant agents would do the job.
2 - I now have the task of creating the publication again (fortunately we have a saved script). If I recreate this publication, will I be able to point the existing subscription at it?

I'm in a middle of a project where replication established between Oracle 8i and SQL server 2005. Now we need to drop one column from on of the tables replicated from Oracle side. My question : Is there anyway I can do this in Oracle and automatically reflected on SQL server? If not what is the proper steps to do it. Realy appreciate your fast response.

Hi,
We have an issue with our replication configuration when viewed through replication monitor. Parameterised Filters and joined filters don't appear in the gui. However, when we script the publication all the filters are present.
This issue only seems to occur when we have a remote distributor.
I should also point out that we have a merge push topology that uses a custom RMO synchronisation component on a separate server to either the publisher or the distributor. Also all the databases in the topology are called the same name. This has caused us other issues relating to this topology in particular so I raise it here as well although I don't expect it to be the case in this instance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated in clarifying this matter.

Hi, everyone,
I am new in SQL server 2005. I had setup SQL server 2005 P2P replication. Somehow it did not work one of two way replication. I tried to delete the publication. However I could not do it. have the same problem. When I tried to delete the publication, I got the publication " " does not exist.[SQL server error: 20026]. I tried to use sp_droppublication, it gave me error "the database is not enabled for publication". Nevertheless, I can see the publication in MS SQL Management Studio and Publication monitor with OK status. I could not find the distribution database either.
Could you anyone has ideas to delete this publication? I am sorry I am not a programmer. Please give me more detail explanation if you can. Thanks.

We have bulk copy option enabled for our DB and we really use it. Will it be possible to set up a snapshot replication over the Internet of particular tables to a remote server from which the data will be only retrieved and never changed? Also, is it necessary to have PKs in all tables for this one-way snapshot replication? (for transactional replication it is needed, as I know)
Thanks a lot!
Andy.

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!

I have an application that I wrote that is running in the local office and a remote office. The two offices are connected via a hardware VPN. The connection in the remote office is wireless and can give speeds down to 40kbps.
Each office is running MSDE 2000 and runs off of a separate database with a different name. I would like to have the database from the remote office available in the local office. It doesn't have to be completely current. A 24-hour delay would be fine. Since Transaction replication is not available in MSDE, I can use either Merge or Snapshot. Since the local office wants to allow folks to access the remote office's database without allowing them to affect the remote database (query purposes only), it seems that Snapshot is the way to go.
The database in the remote office is as follows: Data File - 50MB; Log File - 5MB. I don't expect this to grow very fast.
The question I have relates to performance over this slow link. Would I be better off using Snapshot replication or just creating a DTS package and having that run on a nightly basis to copy the database?
Also, with a DTS Package, if the job fails due to the link resetting (remember it is wireless), I would have to configure retries, etc. Would Snapshot replication automatically recognize this failure and try to run again?

Hi ,
I got a problem in regarding Transactional Replication.
Let me explain my scenario.
I€™m doing transactional replication between two databases.
When publisher and subscriber created the data going to be bulk copied from publisher table to subscriber table.
My main intension was to create replication between different tables with different fields in which I got succeeded.
But main problem is I want to stop this bulk copy from publisher to subscriber.
Scenario 1: my subscriber table may contain some previous data which will be replaced with publisher data due to bulk copy.
I don€™t want this .I want to avoid this bulk copy and wants to create procedures(for insert, update and delete transactions) in subscriber which will take care of replication.
I achieved almost everything but not able to avoid this bulk copy during the creation of subscriber.
As I know the only way I can stop bulk copy is by creating subscription without subscription agent. But here without subscription agent the procedures(for insert, update and delete transactions)
won€™t get created in subscriber.
Help me regarding the above scenario and I need it urgently.

I'm running SQL 7.0 SP3 on two different machines (one with additional hotfixes). I'm taking a nightly snapshot of imported data on Server1 and pushing it out to another SQL 7.0 server on our network, Server2. All but one table is copied successfully. On the final table, I receive the message, "The process could not bulk copy into table '"%"'."
Error Information Category: Data Source, Source: Server2, Number 4813.
Full error message: "Expected the text length in data stream for bulk copy of text, ntext, or image data."
I've looked up 4813, but it's pretty ambiguous/generic. Also, when I SELECT from Server1 and INSERT INTO Server2 in the QA, I receive no errors. Does anyone have any insight?

I changed this value at pub properties - Articles -
And then it is asking for MARK for reinitialization with the new snapshot.I clicked ok.
When I checked sync status it has given the message like initial snapshot is not yet available.I started the snapshot and the subscription started replication records.When check at pup properties the value Copy foreign key constraints again false.

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to setup transaction replication between 2 servers. This is a
one-way replication: Server A to Server B, not Server B to Server A.
I am able to replicate all the tables except one. I added

more or better information.
Here is a portion of the error causing the failure
