How To Programmatically Find Out Whether Snapshot Agent Has Finished?

Oct 15, 2007

Hi,

I want to generate a new snapshot using stored procedures. I want to wait for the snapshot files to be created and then execute a stored procedure. What's the best way to determine that the snapshot has completed successfully? I thought of doing something like:

exec msdb.dbo.sp_help_job
@job_name = @job_name
@job_aspect = 'job',
@execution_status = 1

however I can't put the results of that proc into a temp table because I get this error:
Msg 8164, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_get_composite_job_info, Line 72
An INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested.

Any ideas? I'd like a T-SQL solution.

Thanks,
Mark.

Snapshot Agent && Log Reader Agent Will Not Start.

Nov 30, 2006

Hi All,

I would appreciate any help here at all. I am pulling my hair out!

I am unable to start the snapshot agent or log reader agent from within SQL management studio. it fails on executing step 2 with unknown username or bad password.

I have checked all account details and they are correctly using my domain admin account. I can connect to SQL using teh same account and it also has sysadmin permissions.

If i copy the step 2 paramters and start from the cmd prompt (again logged in using the same domain account) they both start fine.



Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Cannot Start Log Reader Agent And Snapshot Agent

May 18, 2007

I am testing peer to peer replication in our environment. I simulated a three node peer to peer topology and a local distributor.

For some wierd reason I cannot get the Log Reader Agent and snapshot agent to start. The domain account under which SQL Server Agent runs has administrator previlage on the box. I also use a domain account for SQL Server Service. (none of the passwords changed).

This is the error I am getting - "Executed as user: abc. A required privilege is not held by the client. The step failed"

Any ideas???





Also this domain account is a member of

Report SnapShot Creation Programmatically Through Java

Jan 5, 2007

Hi,

I am facing some issues while creating report snapshots programmatically using axis (Java platform for creating and deploying web services applications).

To create a report snapshot what should be the methods called ? I tried using UpdateReportExecutionSnapshot() but didn't find any parameters to set the schedule information which would say when the execute the report snapshot. Can you please guide me for this ?

Also I had one more doubt regarding report snapshots. If a parameterized report is configured as snapshot then we would require to set default parameters for the report.

Is there a way to create snapshots of the same report with different parameters ?

eg : The employee information report displays the information based on the employee id taken as a parameter. So is it possible to create snapshots with different employee id's ?



Thanks,

Amit Shah.

Programmatically Create A Report History Snapshot

Dec 20, 2006

Hi,

To programmatically invoke a subscription we can use -

exec ReportServer..AddEvent 'TimedSubscription', '575F96C6-A1BD-49FD-9C2F-934FC9658780'

How can we programmatically cause a Manual Report History Snapshot to be created.

I know it can be done using the Webservice. How would we do it using the ReportServer stored procedures. Which SP/SP's can we call. With what parameters.

TIA,

Sam.

Snapshot Agent Won't Start

Mar 11, 2008

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up merge replication between a SQL Server 2000 SP4 / Win2k box and a MSDE SP4/WinXP box and I'm finding that the initial snapshot isn't being produced.

The SQL Agent runs as a windows user that has admin privileges, the snapshot agent impersonates the SQL Agent. The SQL Server login for the agent account has the server role "System Administrators" and database access to all db's.

When I turn on logging and try to start the agent, the following is written to the log:
Microsoft SQL Server Snapshot Agent 8.00.760
Copyright (c) 2000 Microsoft Corporation
Microsoft SQL Server Replication Agent: SVRName-POS-POS_Test_Suburb-1

Connecting to Distributor 'SVRName'
SourceTypeId = 5
SourceName = SVRName
ErrorCode = 18456
ErrorText = Login failed for user 'SVRNameSQLAgent'.
The process could not connect to Distributor 'SVRName'.

Most of the posts I've seen regarding problems like this are due to subscriber authentication issues (not up to that, this is the initial snapshot) or windows/domain user permissions.

Any ideas what else it might be?

Snapshot Agent - Stopping

Jun 15, 2007

Hi am trying to create a snapshot (Merge replication) - My database is approx 6GB and one of my tables has 14.5M records - I have a total of 1500 articles to replicate.



When I start creating the snapshot - it seems to just stop on the Table that has the 14.5M records. When I delete all the data in that table it works fine. I have also check disk space and also the log files and tempdb size and all seem ok.



I am using SQL 2005 with the latest SP



Is there any form of verbose logging that I could enable to let me see what is going on





Any help would be greatly appreciated

MS SQL Server 2000 Snapshot Agent

Hello Sir,

Now I'm choosing Trasactional publication as my publication type. I now can successfully replicate the data from publisher to subscriber without any error.

But now my question is what is the usage of snapshot agent? When I go to Replication Monitor > Agents > Snapshot Agents > Start Agent but failed.

I need to check with you whether the way I start the snapshot agent was not correct? What is the effect if I drop snapshot agent during the replication and DBUpdate are running?

Please kindly help me .

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?

Snapshot Agent Can Not Connect To Distributor

Apr 24, 2006

I'm trying to set up merge replication between SqlServer 2000 and SqlMobile 2005. When I create the publication, I select merge replication for SqlServer CE. When I view the status of the snapshot agent, the error message is "the process could not connect to Distributor. The step failed".

I've verified both SqlServer and SqlServer Agent are running under the same domain account (with admin access to the server). This domain account has full access to the snapshot shared folder. I've also run "exec sp_helpserver", which gives me the server name for both the name and network_name fields where id=0.

I'm able to successfully set up merge replication between SqlServer 2005 and SqlMobile 2005, but my production servers are sql 2000.

Snapshot Agent Missing Files.

Jan 16, 2007

My Snapshot Agent for SQL Server 2005 sometimes does not fully complete. I am expecting around 2073 files in the snapshot folder but only get 492 (this number does change). I have immediate_sync set to true, so I should get a full snapshot every time. It seems to quit after all data has been BCP'ed out and before the schema generation starts. I do get the "The replication agent has not logged a progress message in 10 minutes. This might indicate an unresponsive agent or high system activity. Verify that records are being replicated to the destination and that connections to the Subscriber, Publisher, and Distributor are still active. " message in the MSSnapshot_history table.

I am guessing that there is some sort of blocking that is preventing the snapshot agent from continuing and then it times out and dies. But that is a total guess as I have not been able to observe the behavior, only the outcome.

Any suggestions to what the cause is or how I can fix it?

Thanks, Amy

Dynamic Snapshot Agent Error

Feb 17, 2006

I am setting up a large number of Push subscribers to a single publication. because of the large number of subscribers, I am not doing the merge with agent jobs, but with SQL RMO. All works well, but from time to time I am getting a funny error when I add a event handler to the snapshotagent, to return the messages, if some feedback to the screen on how the process is getting along.

The error also happen when the process is al most done. Basically when I am not compiling in this line, then NO error.

//Add the Event Handler to receive the Status changes

DynamicSnapshotAgent.Status += AgentEvent;

But once I started getting the error, then it would not go away, sometimes if the publication & subscribers is recreated it goes away but not always, first do not use the event anymore, and at some stage I can put is back after a few succesful dynamic snapshot, then I can enable the event and it will work again........

Any help welkom

Regards

Replication :: Snapshot Agent Updates Statistics

Jun 26, 2015

We have transactional replication publications from SQL 2014 to SQL 20122008 R2. When we add new tables to the existing publication and start the snapshot agent, Snapshot agent updates the statistics for random tables on the publisher DB. It appears that all the outdated statistics are being updated regardless which table is being initiated. In a highly transactional environment we can't update the statistics every time. its causing huge issues for us. Is there any work around for this ?

Trouble Getting Snapshot Agent To Initialize Publication

Nov 16, 2006

I have been trying to set up transactional replication between an OLTP SQL Server 2005 Standard edition server and a BI SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition server. I am using a pull subscription. I was able to establish the replication from the developement server to the BI server however when I tried setting up the replication between the production environment and the BI server, using the same configuration settings, I ran into a problem. The production server had been renamed after it was initially set up. I used the sp_dropserver and sp_addserver to solve this issue and was able to run the replication wizard. However once the wizard finishes the snapshot agent doesn't initialize the publication. When I look at the replication monitor it has a status of "never run". I try to run it manually and it appears to run for a few seconds then stops and still has the status of "never run". I don't get any error messages and can't find anything in the log. I am wondering if this is related to the server rename? I am hoping to find a soultion that doesn't involve uninstalling SQL Server and reinstalling since this is a production environment.

Thanks.

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?

Snapshot Agent Error: String Or Binary Data Would Be Truncated

Feb 5, 2007

I'm creating a publication with a complex filter joining many tables, for replication between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Mobile 2005. Is there a limit on the number of articles, or depth of joins, in the filter? I have a working replication, but when I add another article joined to tables already in there, the snapshot agent status window gives me this error:

String or binary data would be truncated.
Cannot find the object 'MSmerge_ctsv_2C675AF5938E4EA1B7D0DCFF9ECAD9EB', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
sp_MS_marksystemobject: Invalid object name '[dbo].[MSmerge_upd_2C675AF5938E4EA1B7

The MSmerge_ctsv... system view being referred to DOES in fact exist. But I wonder if there's an internal varchar variable used to hold the join criteria which is too short for what I'm trying to do.

Any help is always appreciated!

Problem Downloading The Snapshot Agent In A Merge Pull Subscription.

Hello.

I've been having an error when downloading the snapshot agent from our Publisher.

The articles selected are all the tables and all the stored procedures.

The Subscription is created programmatically and so is the synchronization. When trying to synchronize for the first time and when the subscriber tries to download the snapshot I have the following error:

The snapshot folder is at c:GESZifSnapshotFolder and the unc is \AfroditeSnapshot.

I'm trying to run the snapshot agent for 77 published tables, but the agent stops suddenly uninterrupted. It stops in the middle of taking a snapshot of a table containing 81,719,531 rows. The error message is pasted below.

Does anyone know what is causing this error and how I can possibly solve it?

Best Regards,
