Error While Propagating Initial Snapshot To Subscriber (Merge Replication)

Jun 27, 2006

Hi all.

I get the following error when trying to run a pull subscription from the subscriber:

The schema script '' could not be propagated to the subscriber.
(Source: Merge Replication Provider (Agent); Error number: -2147201001)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The process could not connect to FTP site 'ftp://ESOFTSERVER.NO-IP.INFO' using port 21.
(Source: ESOFT (Agent); Error number: 0)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The connection with the server was reset
(Source: (OS); Error number: 12031)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I've tried everything I could to solve this problem, but I can't get it working.

Thanks for any advise.

Merge Replication - Subscriber Error

Apr 20, 2007

Hi,

I have setup merge replication between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Express. The setup uses web synchronization. (And the setup uses dynamic filter HOST_NAME)

On some of the client machines, replication fails with the following error (when initializing the subscription):

from subscriber merge agent verbose log:
A dynamic snapshot will be applied from 'D:DOCUME~1JBAUMG~1.CORLOCALS~1TempDB101-EQA-SCL_BQDB_BQ_PUB_BQDB'

Validating dynamic snapshot
2007-04-1819:39:45.434 OLE DB Subscriber 'FRG-BAUMGARTENJSQLEXPRESS': sys.sp_MSregisterdynsnapseqno @snapshot_session_token=N'\XXX.XX.XX.XXSnapshotuncDB101-EQA-SCL_BQDB_BQ_PUB20070417180079dynsnap', @dynsnapseqno='5599F67E-A1A9-4573-A14F-9851F6FE4B51'

(Note: XXX.XX.XX.XX is a proper IP of DB, I have just masked it in the post)

The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have been unable to create or write to the message file.When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write.

I enabled verbose logging for the snapshot agent for the subscriber, but there was no error there. It is obvious from the log info above that the error occurs only after downloading the snapshot to the client and during applying it to the subscriber by the merge agent.

After I got this error, I tried running the subscriber program again and it successfully replicated on the third attempt. But this behavior is not consistent and it fails for most of the time on some of the machines

Any info on this error?

Merge Replication Subscriber Error: Invalid Cursor State

Aug 13, 2004

These errors occur at the subscriber. First, "The merge process could
not query the last sent and received generations" is generated, then
immediately afterwards, "invalid cursor state" is generated. We are
trying to pull a new subscription snapshot from the republisher. The
subscriber has been added and removed from the replusher's pull
subscriptions a number of times for testing. Now, we cannot get the
subscriber to re-sync with the republisher.

Any ideas?

Snapshot For Merge Replication Error: Discover Dependencies Failed

Mar 1, 2006

I'm converting an existing production replication process to SQL 2005 for testing. My snapshot for a merge replication is failing.

Environment: Single XP server, no filters, @schema_option = 0x000000000C034DD1

I have several snapshot jobs in my process, 2 for transactional replication and 2 for merge replications. In both types, I'm replicating from A to B and then from B to C. In the failing job, I'm merge replicating from B to C. In this failing snapshot job, the error messages are:

Does anyone have an idea what I could look for to try and fix this?

The A to B snapshot obviously uses the same tables. My snapshot for merge job (which worked) messages for the A to B snapshot are:

Invalid Column Name 'rowguid'. Error When Generating Snapshot For Merge Replication SQL Server 2005

May 15, 2007

Hi there,



I have setup merge replication which successfully synchronizes with a group of desktop users using SQL Compact Edition.



However now I have setup Article Filters and when I attempt to regenerate the snapshot I get the following error:



Invalid column name 'rowguid'.

Failed to generate merge replication stored procedures for article 'AssignedCriteria'.



When I look at publication properties at the Articles page.. All my tables have the rowguid uniqueidentifier successfully added to tables and selected as a compulsory published column, apart from the table above "AssignedCriteria".. Even when I attempt to select this column in the article properties page and press ok, when I come back it is deselected again. ( The Rowguid column is however physically added to the table)



I have scripted the publication SQL and then totally reinstalled from scratch, including the database but for some reason it doesn't like this table. I remove the article filters, but still this "rowguid" is never "selected" in article properties.



We are using Uniqueidentifiers in other columns as well for historical reasons, but this doesn't appear to be a problem in other tables..



DDL For this problematic table is as follows



CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AssignedCriteria](

[AssignedCriteria] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,

[CriteriaName] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,

[TargetScore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,

[HRPlan] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

[ActualScore] [numeric](18, 0) NULL,

[Criteria] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

[Employee] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

[IsActive] [bit] NULL,

[addDate] [datetime] NULL,

[totalscore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,

[isCalc] [bit] NULL,

[Weight] [decimal](18, 2) NULL,

[ProfileDetail] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [MSmerge_df_rowguid_7FF25DF903B6415FBFF24AC954BC88E4] DEFAULT (newsequentialid()),

CONSTRAINT [PK_AssignedCriteria] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

(

[AssignedCriteria] ASC

)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]



Thanks.

Error Downloading Initial Snapshot

Aug 29, 2007

Hi,

I'm merge replicating between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Compact on mobile devices. I recently had a problem with reinitialization of subscriber databases (please see my previous post, no responses yet...) which I couldn't resolve and had to get 15 subscribers to backup their dbs so I could manually restore each one onto the server. Most of the subscribers were able (yesterday) to then delete their local dbs, create new db files and sync with a snapshot. Today I'm trying to sync a new db with a newly created snapshot and getting the following errors:

2007/08/29 16:23:17 Thread=1118 RSCB=67 Command=SCHK Hr=8004563C An error occurred while reading the .bcp data file for the 'MSmerge_rowtrack' article. If the .bcp file is corrupt, you must regenerate the snapshot before initializing the Subscriber. -2147199428
2007/08/29 16:23:17 Thread=1118 RSCB=67 Command=SCHK Hr=80045017 The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have been unable to create or write to the message file. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write. -2147201001

The only difference from yesterday is that there was a server restart this morning. I have regenerated the snapshot but it still doesn't work. This is only affecting users with new (empty) databases, users who regenerated their dbs yesterday can sync ok.

I have read other posts about folder/file permissions affecting snapshot delivery, but there have been no changes to permissions since successful snapshot deliveries yesterday.

I would really appreciate any help with this. At the moment I have 3 users who can't use the system at all.

Regards,

Greg

Merge Replication Subscriber

Sep 6, 2001

SQL Server 7.0 SP3

I am using the "Pull Subscription Wizard" to set up merge replication. I go through all the steps of the wizard and then I hit "Finish" at the end. When it gets to the third step (Creating the Subscription), I get the old:

__________________________________________________ _________
mmc.exe has generated errors and will by closed by Windows.
You will need to restart the program.

An error log is being created.
__________________________________________________ _________

This happens whether I try to do this from my PC or from the actual server I am creating the subscription on.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a hotfix I need?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Craig

Push Subscriber In Merge Replication

Jul 26, 2004

I am using merge replication with a push subscription type. I am wondering if the updates of the tables on the subscriber side are push to the publisher from the subscriber or pulled from the subscriber by the publisher when the syncronisation takes place. this makes a big diferrence for me and i can't find the answer to this question anywhere...

if anyone could answer it would be really appreciated

Deletes On Subscriber In Merge Replication

Oct 20, 2006

Using Merge replication between SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server CE,
is there any way that row deletes could occur on the subscriber without a reinitialize
or explicit delete of row on publisher.

More specifically, if there is a row filter that returns a days worth of data with each
days pull, for example, and the filter looked like
select <columns> from Table where UpdateDate < GETDATE() and UpdateDate >= DATEADD(d,1,GETDATE())
would there be some implicit delete at subscriber each day because data sent changed?

My research indicates this does not happen, but I have a colleague who thinks differently.

This error happened 1 week after I created the merge replication. The merge data cannot sync to subscriber and only solution I can use is drop and re-create the merge replication again but error would be re-occur a week later. The merge replication work fine before and start from middle on May 2015, but it keep happen right now.

SQL Server 2008 :: Merge Replication - Replacing A Subscriber

Mar 4, 2015

We have a central office with a SQL2005SP4 server (yeah, I know... old as heck) that's the main database and it has multiple subscribers in regional offices. Well... one of the regional offices server is failing, and it needs to be replace.

The original server is an ancient Win2003 86x

The Server team will build a new Win2008r2 64x, and use the same name and IP address

And I'm tasked with the SQL part.

I'll be installing the same version/patch of SQL, but 64x instead, and migrate all databases, including the system databases.

How do I handle replication? Do I need to reintialize from scratch? or can I just use the backup as a starting point?

Merge Replication: Missing Rows At Subscriber With No Conflicts

Hi all,



We are using a mix of SQL 2005 and 2000 servers and our "main" database server is running SQL 2005 x64 (SP2 ver. 3042).



Our system has run perfectly for months, then subsequent to an SP2 update we are seeing several instances where the data record counts are different for several tables among all the servers.



We are using Merge Replication, with no filters and published every 2 minutes.



Any ideas?



TIA,

Creating A Snapshot For Merge Replication

Feb 14, 2006

I'm trying to test merge replication, but am unable to create the publication, the snapshot agent keeps failing. The error I get from replication monitor is "Script failed for Table <tablename>"

Our database has quite a few XML datatype columns, when I take out the xml columns the snapshot succeeds OK, but fails with the xml column.

I created a simple table containing a varchar column and xml column. I created this table in our database, and in Adventure Works. Was able to create a publication with this test table in the adventureworks database, but was unable to create publication with this table in our database. The snapshot failed with error "Script failed for table testtable". I removed the xml column on the test table in our database and was able to create the publication successfully. Creating a publication in the adventureworks database with an xml column has no problems, but does in our database.

Anyone have any ideas?

Merge Replication And Snapshot Isolation

May 30, 2006

I was reading at the following page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsql2k/html/sql_replmergepartitioned.asp

When SQL Server accesses the data in a table, it locks the data for the duration of the process to ensure the transactional consistency of the data during the process.

I was wondering if it is possible to take advantage of snapshot isolation to allow me to avoid these locks?

Issues Deploying Snapshot For Merge Replication.

Apr 6, 2007

I'm having issues setting up merge replication and the errors I'm getting are inconsistent but lead me to believe there is a bigger underlying issue than what they actually indicate.



Issue: unable to initialise subscriber with snapshot for merge replication. Fails for various reasons regardless of environment and setup. Previously this has deployed fine but now it is not.



Publisher is SQL 2005 (9.0.2047), Subscribers are SQLExpress or SQL Dev



The various errors I get are as follows:

These come mixed together generally...
Unable to INSERT ... cannot insert NULL into column rowguid. [This error comes up on different tables for different snapshots, including ones with no records]
bcp (Bulk Copy) error 20253
batch send failed
Unspecified error
Failed to send batch after max errors
end of file reached, terminator missing or field data incomplete

Actions I have taken so far, all to no effect:

Adjusted Agent Profile to increase timeout values and decrease packet sizes
Took new snapshots (tables where errors occured changed but still ame errors)
Created a local subscription database on the server to remove any network related issues (using merge sync over VPN)
Deleted and recreated Publication
Created second publication with different articles on same database to find same errors in different locations again

I've tried reinitializing subscriptions (before subscribers were dropped and I tried recreating) but the DROP command fails due to FK constraints so if I reinitialize any subscriptions they will fail to be applied. Have tried editing the properties to just delete data and not drop tables but that still failed.



I've tried setting up subscriber without snapshot - created publication and snapshot, backed up db, copied to subscriber and restored there. See this article: https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=689428&SiteID=1 This bloke suffered same results and the response from MS was to change the help files, not functionality. Doesn't help us dealing with subscribers via satellite AND unable to deploy snapshots...



I've checked the service pack releases to see if any issues like this are addressed and found nothing relevent.



My gut feeling is that the snapshot is not being generated correctly for some reason - system stored procedure errors perhaps.



So far my experience with replication has been good, with the odd issue or frustrating limitation in older versions, but this is really killing me...

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

Replication :: Merge Agent Not Applying Transactions In Bulk On First Initialization Of A Subscriber

May 12, 2015

We have a filtered publisher (SQL Server 2012) with several pull and push subscriptions that have been functioning fine for years.

We have just added a new pull subscriber from a remote server.  We configured an alternate folder location on the subscriber (pointing to existing path on a remote server).  We generated new snapshot and partitioned snapshot, and moved to subscribing server at alternate path.We're seeing a problem we've never seen before:

When the merge agent runs, it applies the schema and performs a few hundred bulk inserts, but then proceeds to 'download changes to subscriber' as though the snapshot is old (it is brand new and should have all transactions).  We have never seen this before, i.e. all data is usually applied in bulk when creating a new or reinitializing an existing subscriber.

we marked the subscriber for re-initialization (from both the publishing and subscribing server) with a fresh set of snapshots.  The same problem occurred.We have also tried in our test environment (which mirrors production) and the snapshot applies as expected (via bulk inserts).

(It might be relevant to note the publisher was recently upgraded in-place from 2005 to 2012.)

Snapshot Agent Fails For Merge Replication Publication

SQL Server 2008 :: Changing Alt Snapshot Folder For Merge Replication?

Sep 22, 2015

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?

Merge Replication W/ Dynamic Row Filter - Not 'dynamic' After First Initial Sync?

May 2, 2007

If anyone could confirm...

SQL Server 2000 SP4 to multiple SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition on PDAs. My DB on SQL2k is published with a single dynamic row filter using host_name() on my 'parent' table and also join filters from parent to child tables. The row filter uses joins to other tables elsewhere that are not published to evaluate what data is allowed through the filter.

E.g. Published parent table that contains suppliers names, etc. while child table is suppliers' products. The filter queries host_name(s) linked to suppliers in unpublished table elsewhere.

First initial sync with snapshot is correct and as I expected - PDA receives only the data from parent (and thus child tables) that matches the row filter for the host_name provided.

However - in my scenario host_name <--> suppliers may later be updated E.g. more suppliers assigned to a PDA for use or vice versa. But when I merge the mobile DB, the new data is not downloaded? Tried re-running snapshot, etc., no change.

Question: I thought the filters would remain dynamic and be applied on each sync?

I run a 'harmless' update on parent table using TSQL e.g. "update table set 'X' = 'X'" and re-sync. Now the new parent records are downloaded - but the child records are not!

Question: I wonder why if parent records are supplied, why not child records?

If I delete existing DB and sync new, I get the updated snapshot and all is well - until more data added back at server...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible (or not) to have dynamic filters run during second or subsequent merge?
