Snapshot Agent Fails On Table With XML Datatype : Script Failed For Table 'dbo.TableName'

Sep 11, 2007

SQL Server 2005 SP2 Error: Script failed for Table 'dbo.TableName'

I keep getting this error when trying to generate a snapshot for transact replication.
Here is the publishing table schema:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[viMediaPlaylist](
[MemberID] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[xmlPlaylist] [xml](CONTENT [dbo].[viMediaPlaylistCollectionSchema]) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[MemberID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 90) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]


I tried the following:
#1)Create table schema at the subscriber manually, and change package to Keep object as is. Got the same error during snapshot.

#2Filtered replication to NOT include XML column. This worked, and no error was generated, replication was up and running.


So my question is, what is the problem with XML column being replicated?
Any ideas how i can make this work? At this point i'm not sure what the problem is with the xml column, but it seems like ti tries to run schema script, but i'm not asking it to create the schema i already did it myself. Thanks!

Here is a log dump from the distributor:

Snapshot Agent Fails For Merge Replication Publication

Nov 9, 2006

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.

The server {08B0B2D9-3FB3-11D3-A4DE-00C04F610189} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

and this

SubSystem Message - Job 'mws-cpmorder-CPmOrder_Mobile-2' (0x669FF0D471C2A54FA11F764B1E3B0DFD), step 2 - Server execution failed

in the application log.

The database has another publication, that was created prior to upgrade to sql server 2005 from sql server 2000 sp4. This publication is working ok, and there are no problems when running the snapshot agent for this publication.

The publications are using filtered articles, and all properties for the publications are the same.



Any help to solve this problem will be much apreciated.

Snapshot Agent Cannot Start Server Execution Failed

May 22, 2006

Hello, I've configured SQL Server 2000 for merge replication and am trying to start the snapshot agent for the publication and after about 20 minutes of it trying to start, it gives up with this error.



Server execution failed

There is no more information in the event viewer. I've tried it with a bunch of different subscriptions. SQL Server and SQL Agent are running under a local account which has access to the replcation data directory. SQL Agent is running.

I'm Running SQL 2000 SP3.

Thanks

Snapshot Agent Failed From Time To Time

Sep 15, 2000

Hello !

I just encountered a problem with snapshot replication or, if more detailed, with snapshot agent.

My environment consist of W2K Server (sp1) and SQL Server 7.0 (sp2)

The issue is when I create publication and then start snapshot agent for initial creation of schema and articles, it fail with the error:
"An exception occurred in the Snapshot subsystem. The step failed."
Event Log registers this error with the following message:
-------------------
"Step 2 of job --- () has caused an exception in the Snapshot subsystem and has been terminated"
-------------------
the step 2 in REPL-Snapshot job is "Run Agent"

Once more detail. The metter is that this occurs not consistently but from time to time. Some publications succeed in snapshot process but others don't. And else, if I want to manually run snapshot agent for the second time after successful completion for the first, I get the same error.

Any idea?????
Thanks in advance

Snapshot Agent &&amp; 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

Soft Delete In Table, Why Merge Agent Report Hards Delete On Table ?

Feb 1, 2007

Hi seniors

there are two tables involve in replication let say table1 and replicated table is also rep.table1.

we are not deleting records physically in table1 so only a bit in table1 has true when u want to delete a record but the strange thing is that replication agaent report that this is hard delete operation on table1 so download and report hard delete operation and delete the record in replicated table which is very crucial.

plz let me know where am i wrong and how i put it into right way.

there is no triggers on published tables and noother trigger is created on published table.

regards

Creating Snapshot / Transactional Table By Appending

Feb 6, 2015

I am very new to SQL coming from a SAS background.

I work at a College where I am trying to create a table that basically stores application data so that I can record how many applications we had on a set day.

For example I want to run it say bi-weekly and create a date/time stamp for each row and then the next time it runs it appends to the original table but with the new date/time stamp.

I have managed to create the table and the date/time stamp but I'm not sure how to do the next stage.

This is not the best practice as the table will get "big" quite quickly (although we're only dealing in the hundreds in terms of rows). Ideally I'd have a more transactional database that only appends a record if there is a change i.e. the status of the application has changed from "Received" to "Interview" or similar.

I'm not sure how to copy and paste the code dynamically in this forum but this is what I have got so far (see below).

SELECT
CC.cc_name as Academy,
SUBSTRING(CC2.cc_reference,1,4) as Cost_Centre,
MD2.m_reference as Course,
MD2.m_name as Course_Name,
CAST(MD2.m_start AS DATE) as Start_Date,

[Code] ...

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

How To Load Periodic SnapShot Fact Table With SSIS

Feb 14, 2006

I need help from you data warehouse / SSIS experts out there! I have a Transaction Fact Table with dollar amounts as the measurements. The grain is one row per transaction. I want to roll this up into a Monthly Periodic Snapshot based on 5 keys. I am having no problem where there is transaction data for each month.

However, the problem I am having is - how do I gracefully insert the Monthly rows for the five keys where there was no activity in the transaction fact table - I am sure there is a slick way to do this with SSIS but I am definitely having a mental block on how to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated!

MS SQL Server 2000 Snapshot Agent

Aug 16, 2006

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 .

Thank You.

Transactional Replication &&amp; 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

Gertus

Feb 20, 2006

I am unable to get my snapshot agent to initialize. When I start the "View Snapshot Agent Status" and press the Start button, it appears that the snapshot agent attempts to starts and then it doesn't.

I have configured the a distribution server and need to push a replication to another database, both can connect, etc.

I used the wizard to configure the distributon server and subscription server. I am using AdventureWorks, and am attempting to replicate a single small table.

DELETE Transaction With SNAPSHOT Isolation Level - Conflicts Another Table

Nov 29, 2007

 



Hi,we are executing the following query in a stored procedure using snapshot isolation level:DELETE FROM tBackgroundProcessProgressReportFROM         tBackgroundProcessProgressReport LEFT OUTER JOIN                      tBackgroundProcess ON                      
tBackgroundProcess.BackgroundProcessProgressReportID =
tBackgroundProcessProgressReport.BackgroundProcessProgressReportID LEFT
OUTER JOIN                      tBackgroundProcessProgressReportItem ON                      
tBackgroundProcessProgressReport.BackgroundProcessProgressReportID =
tBackgroundProcessProgressReportItem.BackgroundProcessProgressReportIDWHERE     (tBackgroundProcess.BackgroundProcessID IS NULL) AND                       (tBackgroundProcessProgressReportItem.BackgroundProcessProgressReportItemID IS NULL)The query should delete records from tBackgroundProcessProgressReport which are not connected with the other two tables.However, for some reasone we get the following exception:System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException:
Snapshot isolation transaction aborted due to update conflict. You
cannot use snapshot isolation to access table 'dbo.tBackgroundProcess'
directly or indirectly in database 'RHSS_PRD_PT_Engine' to update,
delete, or insert the row that has been modified or deleted by another
transaction. Retry the transaction or change the isolation level for
the update/delete statement.The exception specifies that we are
not allowed to update/delete/insert records in tBackgroundProcess, but
the query indeed deletes records from tBackgroundProcessProgressReport,
not from the table in the exception.Is the exception raised because of the join?Has someone encountered this issue before?Thanks,Yani

SQL Server 2008 :: Snapshot Replication Of 1 Table To A Target DB With 100 Tables

Apr 25, 2015

Regarding Snapshot replication....

If I have 200 tables on my source DB and 100 tables on my target DB... and I set up a publication w/ just 1 article to be published....

Will the invocation of the snapshot/apply affect any tables on my target other than the article I'm replicating?
