Replicate To Other Server If Replication With Main Server Failed ...
Aug 16, 2007
Let say I've 4 server with MS SQL 2000 installed and I want all of them having the same data. So I'm using merge replication by assign one of them as publisher/distributor.
The problem is when ( let say ) server that have been assign as publisher/distributor down then all the other server cannot make replication.
My idea was to make it replicate to other available server ( among them ) if replication to main server failed.
Is it possible ?
If possible how to do it ?
I am having two NT/SQL Server 6.5 and i tried to replicate the database on SQL Server from One Server to another Server. When i try to replicate from Server A[Publisher] to Server B[Subscriber] it is giving error on Distribution History Log on Manage Scheduled Task Dialog. The Error is like this : 08001 [ODBC SQL Server Driver] [dbnmpntw] ConnectionOpen (Createfile()).
and it is trying again and again by using retry option.
Kindly guide me by mentioning the reason for this error.
This is the most frustrating error I've ever encountered.
I can get no more info from sql server besides "server execution failed". It gives this error when starting the snapshot, distribution, and log reader agents.
This server has been working in this configuration for over a year. We made no changes except restarted the server. This is a windows 2003 server with sql server 2000 running all the latest patches and windows updates.
I am running SQL 2008 Enterprize Edition with SP1 on Windows 2008. I am trying to set up replication. I have completed the following:
1. Created distribution Database 2. Created publisher 3. Granted SQL Agent access to the ...MSSQL100Com folder to execute the agent_exe files 4. Granted SQL Agent access to ...MSSQLinn where the subsystem_dll files are located 5. Granted SQL Agent write permissions to ...MSSQL epldata in order the write the bcp files
Each time I try to initialize the snapshot, I get the following errors in the SQL Agent Log
1. Log Step.......cannot be run because the LogReader subsystem failed to load. The job has been suspended. 2. Log Step.......cannot be run because the Snapshot subsystem failed to load. The job has been suspended.
I found posts where the records in the msdb.dbo.syssubsystems pointed to different folders than where the dll and exe files are located. So, I checked that, but they are correct.
The SQL Agent has sysadmin on the SQL Server and is using a windows service account.
I believe it is a security issue because I can run the executables from the command prompt to generate the snapshot for the publication. Have I missed the forest for the trees?

I'm trying to set up snapshot replication between two SQL Server 2000 databases over the internet. Both servers run Windows 2000 server edition and SQL server 2000. The idea is to send certain local information, stored in database tables to a database from which the information is published on a website.
I've set up the distribution database (with the original name: distribution) and connected a publisher to it (let's call that one "source_database") using the sp_adddistpublisher stored procedure. No problems there... Next step, I added a publication, the tables in source_database, and a subscriber, the website database. I've opened up port 1433 on both servers, but still it won't send anything from the source_database to the website database....
It gives no errors, but just doesn't do anything... Now, I've looked for possible problems and I think these problems might be able to cause problems: - The initial snapshot is not reaching the subscriber - I've made a push subscription which may has to become a pull subscription - The RPC's aren't available, because both servers are highly secured - The wrong serverpack is installed (this one is a wild guess)
Does anybody have any idea on how I can get my distribution working or solve any of the problems above, cause I'm running out of idea's.... (P.S. I'm a bit of a noobie to replication, I've set it up in a test environment before and it just worked perfectly, but the real thing isn't)
I'm trying to send data from a table on SQL server to a DB2 table on the Main Frame and I get this error. Any ideas?

We have a two SQL Server 2005 databases set up using Transactional Replication. My manager has asked me to set it up to replicate constraints (default, fk, et) on the tables in the main publication. I said sure, I can do it, but I will have to re-initialize the subscription. He said there was a way to do it without re-initializing the subscription. I cannot find anything in my research to indicate that there is a method to do so (via call sp_ functions, etc). Is it indeed possible to replicate constraints on replicated tables without re-initializing the who subscription? The reason he does not want me to perform a re-initialization is that we are a few weeks before moving into production, and a full re-initialization takes 1.5 days, which would impact system availability.
I have some issue when replicating a view (transactional replication).I have following objects on publisher:
Table: [Metadataschema].[Entity] View: [dbo].[EntityLogicalView] the view definition is:
create view [dbo].[EntityLogicalView] as (SELECT * FROM [Entity] WHERE OverwriteTime = 0)
this is what I get when I run "Script View as Create". The same query is used by the replication.Unfortunately this query fails on the subscriber "Unable to replicate a view or function because the referenced objects or columns are not present on the Subscriber". I cannot even runt his query manually on the subscriber, it only works when I change it like this:create view [dbo].[EntityLogicalView] as (SELECT * FROM [Metadataschema].[Entity] WHERE OverwriteTime = 0) Is there any way to get this working? Can I change the creation scripts used by the replication or force publisher to include schema names in all objects?
I'm trying to replicate client data from multiple databases into a single table. So database A, B and C replicate client data to a table in database Z. There is a settings table on A, B and C that holds the businessID and I use a function in a computed column to add this to the client table. At the moment I have just database A and Z as a test and what happens is the computed column gets replicated as a computed column with the formula.
Can I change this so that I can replicate the computed value (at db A,B,C) of this column?
I don't really want to add a businessID to the table if possible as I'm going to need to add a number of other tables to this replication which will each need to have the businessID, a computed column would be much easier and save updating a load of scripts.
If the above is not possible is there some other solution available so I can identify which database the records came from in the table on database Z?
I have created several reports using SSRS which is installed in my local machine. But source data base is in the main server. Data source connection works properly. Report manager is also configured to local machine.
Now I tried to deploy these reports to main server. So I changed the target URL to http://mainservername/reportsserver in the internal report property change box. But it was not succeeded. I get a error message like this.
------ Build started: Project: Partner Reports -Internal, Configuration: Production ------

I have two SQL 2005 SP2 Server and want to use the transaction replication with updateable subscriber. Now the problem is that i can do any changes on the master server. But if i want to change a record on the subscriber which contains a ntext, text, oder image column - then i geht the error that the field will be NULL on the master.
Is there any solution to fix this problem? I dont wan`t to change the datatype vom ntext to varchar(max) !!
What are the tools available in MS SQL Server 2000 migrate data from Main Frames. Can we do with DTS if so are drivers available to connect to sql servers.
there are several remote locations where sql is running, my company has asked me to find a way to collect all the data from the remote locations to a central location automatically,for example day to day data should be synced at night time from 2am to 7 am and it should be compressed automatically before data transfers to the central location. NOTE there is no domain only standalone workstations
We need to replicate multiple databases (publications) to one central subscriber. The schema of those articles are identical in all publications and also the primary keys in publications do not have any overlap.
Is this possible?If yes is there any specific thing that I should consider for it's implementation? Should each publication has it's own dedicated distributor or all of them can share one distributor?
we have a server in our environment, we would like to make a copy of it on the other server in side the company and also do the same on the remote server.
Can u tell me how to do it or any sites where i can find the stratergy's which have been already implemented for review.
After a recent crash, where tables had to be repaired we have beenunable to re-instate or create new merge replication from a MS SQL 2000system. All old publications and subscriptions have been deleted. Newreplications fail at the snapshot level.

I have a (quite big) sql server 2000 database. I'd like to replicate the whole DB onto a 2k5 server. Then disconnect that connection, to have an independent copy on the 2k5 machine. After I made some modifications on the data on that machine, I'd like to sync those databases to have the data on the sql server 2000 as well.
Is this possible in any way (tool or API available) or must I hand code it? At the moment I do this thing by exporting to *.sql files, and then importing, but the replication/sync method would be quite nice.
Is it possible to replicate data from 3 publishers to a single/central subscriber transactionally? In other words I have Server A, Server B, Server C with databases A,B,C respectively. I need to replicate 2 articles from A,2 from B and 2 from C to a central Server D that hosts database D. D will have only 6 articles. The replication is Transactional Replication.
If it is possible what will be the drawbacks of such implementation? (if one server goes down will the whole replication break?) If not possible then what is the best way of implementing this?
We use SQL server always on feather on my database and we distribute statement on main database server and mirror database server for raise performance.
My police for split statement is DML (insert, update and delete) statement go to main DB and Read Data (select) statement go to mirror DB.
I want know can I use different index on main DB and mirror Database?
Because some index are used in mirror DB not used in main database.

We have a distributed Database in DB2 and SQL Server 2000. As the user updates/Inserts data to DB2 Database , the data need to be dynamically replicated to SQL Server. Please Let me know the best possible method of doing it. Thanks, Ravi.
Hello group,i am relatively new to SQL-Server database, but i have lots ofexperience with DB2 and Oracle Database. One of my tasks is setting upa replication between a Mysql-Database running on Linux and one of ourSQL-Servers.How do i achieve this ?If i understand the documentation correctly you have to program thereplication mechanism for yourself or you have to use some third partytool.Could anyone please outline, how to set up the replication mechanism(pointing me to some web-site should be enough) and also tell me ifthere is any third party tool.Thanks in advance and greetings from ViennaUli
I have this main chart setup. It pulls data from a query based on the selected parameters.
I want to create multiple charts for every catagory in the result set.
On the main chart there is a catagory called "Missing".
I want a chart for this category to display when the main chart is loaded. So below the main chart it would show a chart for each of the categories on the main chart.
Basically this report returns information on a certain part number displaying its problem types. Then I want it to create other charts for each problem type displaying the problem sub-types.
How can I assign the ODBC Database(Progress) on UNIX as publisher and SQL Server as subscriber. When I use the Enterprise Manager, I cannot see the Unix Server. I just can see the server and database in DTS.
Hi.I am wondering if it is a good idea to replicate sql server db filesusing frs.I don't really know how the frs works, sodoes frs replicates the whole database from time to time or just theportion that is changed?Also if the db is expected to change very often, and wouldn't it makethe whole system down?I wonder if it's a good idea just to make a backup of the database andcopy it.What's the usual practice?
