I want to set up merge replication over internet between sql servers located in different cities. Servers have adsl connection. Also I want to start replication witout synchronizing. Actually what I want is starting replication without snapshot because of connection issues. How could I achieve connecting approximately 40 server in this way?
View 6 RepliesHi guys,
Can somebody tell me where i can find ( or explain me ) the steps to
connect to sql server using the internet. I am using VB6 (SP6) and SQL SERVER 2000
I want to set up asql server on a central location ( PC ) so that 4 different sites can access the data stored
Thanks for all help

I've simply question.
Is it possible to configure merge replication over internet using ONLY ftp port.
The FTP is use only for initial snapshot?
Thank you
Maybe I am missing something here, but it seems like the point of doing Merge Replication via IIS is so that you do not have to expose your DB server directly to the internet (i.e. all your clients), rather you expose a webserver to the internet and the webserver handles the replication keeping your DB server closed to direct internet access and thus keeping it more secure.
However, to set up Internet Merge Replication using IIS a client has to have direct internet access to the DB server as a stored procedure needs to be run on the publisher.
So Internet Merge Replciation using IIS makes it so your DB does not have to be directly exposed to the internet except your db needs to be exposed directly to the internet so every client can execute a stored procedure against it. How does this make sense? Yeah, I can write a webservice or something that gets the SP from the client and executes it against my db server but why should I have to? Why isn't the dll that the "Configure Web Synchronization" wizard puts into place capable of doing this?
Hi all,
I was wondering if someone could suggest a solution to my problem:
I have an in-house production database. I wanted to use Merge replication (push) to mirror parts of this data to our Internet server on the web which has a Public IP.
Steps I followed
1. Created an entry in €œC:WINNTsystem32driversetchosts€? file with IP
address of the Subscriber and just the €œServername€? of the Subscriber on
publisher machine (local server)
2. Created an Alias to the Subscriber
3. Connected to the remote server thru Mgt Studio
4. Created Merge Replication on the Local Database
5. Created Subscription to the remote server.
6. Started the Replication Agent
I receive following msg "The process could not connect to Subscriber 'ISVR'.
When I check the View Synchronization Status in Mgt studio it shows "The server 'ISVR' is not a Subscriber"
I presume that if we have a Public IP at our end, then the Merge Replication will be thru.
Is it possible to replicate without having a Public IP?
Any suggestions,
Thanks.
Hello,
I am trying to upload a database (MS SQL 7) from my machine to a remote location (host company). This company has MS SQL Server 7 running in its machine, so they told me that all I had to do was to connect from my SQL Enterprise Manager. I am new to MS SQL, so I would appreciate if someone can help me to create a connection from Enterprise Manager to this remote SQL Server.
Thanx

- I am using a win2003 sp1 server. Freshly installed.

- For the purpose of the test, I stopped the windows firewall and the IPSec service.
- I stopped SQL server Browser service.
- I find a free port (here : 1401)
- I activated TCP/IP protocol in SQL Server Configuration Manager, and I have selected 1401 as the TCP port in the IPAll sextion of TCP/IP protection (and I remove the '0' of the dynamic TCP Port).
- Restarted SQL server express...
In the sql server log, I get the message "Serveur Server is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 1401]"
But I never get an answer from the server.
sqlcmd -S ip_of_the_server, 1401 -U username -P password is working fine if launched on the server. But I always get a timeout error from any PC. Same with a telnet on port 1401.
Any idea ?

Hi
Im having some problems setting up sql server so that i can connect to it in my vb program over the internet.
Im using windows xp pro and have IIS installed and using sql server 2005 express SP2.
My setup is as follows:
from phonecable to router, from router to wireless access point and the wireless connects to my computer.
I have tried disabling the xp firewall, and in the sql server configurationi have set the port to 11001, which i have also opened in my router.
There should be a connection to the computer, cause i have succesfully set up an FTP server on a different port.
I have also enabled remote connections, both via TCP/IP and named pipes.
I have tried to use telnet on my IP adress with the port 11001, and it says that i cant create a connection..Are there other settings i should set to get this to work? This has been bugging me for a little while...
I am working in a secured company which doesn't allow live internet connection, therefore I can't install SSDT using Web Platform Installer and we also don't want to install the intire 2012 client tools.

I have followed a tutorial on merge replication and have set up a replicated publication in a shared windows folder, all appears to have gone to plan until I attempting to make a connection from my xda device to the shared folder on my (windows XP pro). The published sql table and the windows sqlce DLL €œsqlcesa30.dll€? are in the folder. The publication and sqlce server tools are all in place. I have been testing the connection using internet explorer on the device and entering the address as:
http://10.12.5.1/mobilreplsync/sqlcesa30.dll (not the true IP)
the connection is made and a page appear to load but it is blank
If I place the address into internet explorer on the windows xp pro machine It finds the page immediately and loads the expected result.
Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition Server Agent
Why can I load the page from the windows xp pro. But not from the device?
Any help appreciated.

Hello, I only need to know if I need to have a bidirectionnal connection between the subscriber and the publisher for merge replication or if the connection ca be openned only from the publisher to the subscriber if i use the push subscription option.
Thanks in advance
Hi guys, Im desperately hoping someone here can help me. Ive been trying to set up merge replication between 2 servers all weekend and it keeps failing. Im setting this up as follows
The Publisher/Distributor is a SQL Server 2005 machine, the database being replicated is 4gb, and the only subscriber is a SQL Server 2000 SP4 machine. I set up my publication normally, and set up the push subscription, adn set it to initialize immediately. It weill then start bulk copying and go on for about 3-4 hours before it fails and gives me the errors:

Hi,
I have merge replication configured over VPN and the replication is failing to connect to the subscriber through Named pipes with the error Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server ......
Actually , I am having issues with Named pipes connection from publisher to subcriber. I have enabled the protocols and also enabled the remote connections using both tcp/ip and named pipes. I have created the client network alias using named pipes
Also, due to security reasons only few ports have been released on the subscriber. Please provide me some information on the following.
1) Does any port specifically be released for listening on named pipes? i am able to connect using tcpip with out any issues as 1433 has been released.
2) How to configure the replciation to use tcpip and not named pipes (guess by default it will use named pipes)?
I have database on SQL Server 2000 set up with a merge publication.This publication is configured with a number of dynamic filters toreduce the amount of data sent to each client. Each client has ananonymous pull subscription. The merge process can be triggered by thewindows sync manager and my application.To improve performance I have created some helper tables to hold themapping between user login and primary keys of selected entities.For the replicated data to be correct the contents of the helper tablesneeds to be up to date.I need to fire off a stored procedure on the publisher beforereplication starts to verify that this data is up to date. I can notsee any documented way of doing this however I have been experimentingwith some unorthodox systems.Firstly has anyone any ideas?I have been considering adding a trigger to some of the tables used bythe Microsoft replication code - yes I know this is very nasty.My problems arise because executing this stored procedure will causesome data to be updated. In updating data we could create a newgeneration in the database. I must therefore run my stored procedurebefore any the Microsoft code makes any generation checks / updates.Anyone done anything similar, Anyone have any better ideas?Any comments would be gratefully received.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm using merge replication to maintain a backup copy of my main (publisher)MSDE database. A push subscription periodically (1 per minute) updates the backup DB.
It's intended that if the main db goes down then the backup (subscription) db can be configured as a publisher. This must all be performed via scripting.
The initial configuration of the main publisher and subscription is controlled via scripting, which works fine.
The problems occur when I try to configure the subsciber to become a publisher. A script is executed on the subscriber but fails at the point when it's configuring the publisher detail. The error is something like "unable to configure a publication for a database setup as an anonymous subscription".
I'm guessing that there are subscritpion artifacts added to the database which need to be removed before it can be configured as a new publisher.
Please help,

I am trying to connect to SQL Server 2000 using the enterprise manager, and I want to do it over the Internet. My server is in another country and I am using SQL authentication. When I try to make the connection I get a message of server does not exists or access denied. If I ping the server the ping is successful, I am using TCP/IP as protocol for the client, I am not behind any firewall, and the port 1433 is enabled and is the default. I imagine it has to be something with permissions but since I am using SQL validation it should work. Is there something else I have to change?

Hi,
Now I really need you help. I have an application that needs to conect to a server
over the internet and I have change the MSQL port to 2015 cos the server even with a
firewall it has been attempt to be hacked. So I needed to change the port but my application
cannot conect to the server if I change it. If I left in the firewall 1433 and SQL it works fine
but once I change it to 2015 it doesn´t work.
I´m using ADO conection as folow:
Variables string parameters:
01=password
02=user
03=database
04=server IP adress
"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Password='+01+';Persist Security Info=True;User ID='+02+';Initial Catalog='+03+';Data Source='+04;"
Using this conection string I can conect to the server using 1433 port but if I change the port I get the folow message:
"[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied."
I´d try to add the new port number to IP adress but it doesn´t work as (200.121.65.140:2015) and it return the folow message:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (ParseConnectParams()).]Invalid connection.
What I need to know or to do? Please somebody help me cos I don´t know more what to do and my superiors need awnsers.

hello,
we are learning sql2000 at school. i have been put in charge of trying to make it possible for the students to connect to the sql database from home.At the college they connect via a lan. Can anyone give me a way to do this, or is there a way. There are 30 students who will need to connect not all at the same time. Besides buying something like pcanywhere is it possible and how. I would really appreciate it. thanks again, tom
Please help me connect sql server over internet. I tested the connection in Windows XP, SQL Sever 2000, Router (forwarding IP port 1433) and its is working properly.
But using the same process in Windows 2000 Advance Server, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Router (forwarding IP port 1433) Im getting the error "Unable to connect to server" . Can any one help me to setup this network. Thank you in advance!
it is my first time using SQL remotely, i am used to client/server ..
i need to run query and execute procedure remotely.
i have SQL server 2000 installed on one machine connected to the internet with static IP adress, the second machine does not have SQL server but also connected on the internet but different cities.. so how that can be possible?
i am using VB6 to and ODBC, i need to know the full code to execute procedure or run query and what i have to do on the first machine to let it work and give me access over the internet?
From what I have understood, Reporting Services could be configured to use Basic Authentication. In this way, a user can access a RS-server across the internet and he/she will be prompted for a valid username/password when trying to access.
However, from what I can understand this username and password will be sent uncrypted over the Internet (from the client machine to the RS-server), right?
My problem is, I need to give access to users acress the internet to a RS-server. The users uses all kind of operating systems (Windows, Linux, MacOS tec). And the communication needs to be encrypted.
How would you recommend me to implement security for this solution? I guess some kind of "Forms authentication" will have to be used? But how to make sure the data traffic is encrypted? And where do you recommend me to store the username and passwords? In an Active Directory on the server side, or in a separate database on the server side?
