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.

The problem

After migrating MSDE from sp3a to sp4 (in order to fix CE replication bug) I can't sync to MSDE.
I got the following error code: [29045]->[Initializing SQL Server Reconciler has failed.] so I've looked into SQL Server CE log file and I've found the following error message:

I've already tried without success

Uninstalling all SQL Server 2000 (EE) instances (except for the "no instance")
Unistalling and re-install MSDE (sp4)
Re-registering sscerp20.dll.
Rebooting server.
Restarting IIS.

Any ideas?

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

The Process Could Not Connect To Distributor.

Sep 1, 2006

hi friends

i am creating the Merge Replication between two server(both SQLServer-2005, on XP).

Server names are as

1. HB5B

2. VSNET1

i)    On server HB5B, i had created the Publication with name 'hb_pub'.

(publisher & Distributer on HB5B server)

ii)   On server VSNET1, i had created the Pull Subscription, for the publication name hb_pub( form the server HB5B), this starts fine.

iii)   When i went to Viwe Synchroniztion status, it says

      The process could not connect to Distributor 'HB5B'

 

iv)  i too check the Distributor properties, its seems fine for me.

v)  On server VSNET1, if creats the Push Subscription, for the publication name hb_pub( form the server HB5B), this starts fine.

vi)   When i went to Viwe Synchroniztion status, it says

     The server 'VSNET1' is not a Subscriber. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

vii)   if i try again the Start button on the Viwe Synchroniztion status, it says the job is already running (with job name), Change the database context to 'HBmyDB' ( this is my database name).

 

the check list i made is

i)  I had log on as service(SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) & SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) ) as Administrator at server VSNET1(i mean it had the administrative right) & restarted them.

ii)  I do have the administrative rights on the both of the machines.

iii)   both Server have same 'sa' passwords.

please help me

any solution, hint or idea.

Regards

Thanks

The Process Could Not Connect To The Distributor....

Nov 28, 2006

I have a small problem, I get this following error when trying to start the snapshot agent "The process could not connect to the distributor 'distributor name'. NOTE: The step was retried the requested number of times [10] without succeeding. The step failed.

I thought it was related to users or rights but i am using the same user than in previous replication with the server and the rights haven't been altered. I don't know if someone has some knowledge of what to do or a workaround solution, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Distributor Cannot Connect To Subscriber

Jan 23, 2007

I am setting up my 2005 Replication system...

publisher = 2005 sp1

Subscriber = 2005 sp1

I created a publication for a single table. Then I created the subscription to another 2005 server. Had to add it as a subscriber in the wizard. Told it to do the snapshot right away.

Everything seems fine right up to the point where it tries to connect to the subscriber... I get a cannot connect error. I have tried all kinds of security context and accounts for the sql agent to run under but nothing seems to work. I cannot even get a linked server to work. I have the subscriber setup to accept remote connections.

I am not sure where to look at next... I never had this issue in 2000.

Process Cannot Connect To Distributor Error !!!

Oct 13, 2006

Hey guys. I am creating an app that uses the RMO Merge Replication objects.
So far it can subscribe and unsubscribe just fine but when it comes to the syncing process it gets a little weird, here's why.

- If I run the SQL GUI Sync tool, it sinks fine. So that setup is working.

- When I run the C# App it blows up witht the error: "Process cannot connect to Distributor"

- Here's the weird part: When I set a breakpoint on my custom method SyncData (this method sets up the connection info and properties and then calls Syncronize( ) ) and step through the code when it gets to Syncronize( ) it runs perfectly fine, no execeptions.

I thought that maybe the Syncronize( ) method was being called too fast before the connection properties got to fully setup and connect, so I added a Thread.Sleep( ) method for 10 secs after each connection call and just before calling Syncronize( ). It still didn't work. My class is a static class by design, however, I changed it into an ordinary class and then placed the connection info in the constructor hoping it would do it's connection when the object gets initialized, that didn't work either.

If someone could please help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Here's my code:

using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Text;using Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication;using Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.BusinessLogicSupport;using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common;using System.Windows.Forms;using System.Threading;namespace Emds.Briefcase.BriefcaseSubscriber.BLL{ public class SyncDataClass { #region Members private static string m_statusMessage = string.Empty; private static byte m_percentComplete; public delegate void StatusTextChangeHandler(int percent, string status); public static event StatusTextChangeHandler OnStatusChange; #endregion Members #region Methods public static string SyncData() { //Delay(); // Define the server, publication, and database names. string publicationName = "Chart"; string publisherName = @"JSMITHSQL2005"; string subscriberName = @"JDOESQL2005"; string subscriptionDbName = "DataSubscriber"; string publicationDbName = "DataPublisher"; string message = string.Empty; // Create a connection to the Subscriber.

Jun 25, 2007

Hello Guys,

I have the following scenario:

PC1 : located in Dubai representing my laptop

PC2: located in Denver ,



Both pcs are connected to each other via the internet as i am using Aliases ,they can both access and see each other using SQL Auth.



I want to implement Merge Replication to Synchronize TestDB ,

I have NO DOMAIN connnecting them.

I Created a new publication ,under security i asked the agent to use the Sa account to connect



When launching the rep monitor i get the following error:



"Replication Monitor could not connect to Distributor 'laptop'."

"Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)"



Both Publisher and Distributer are on my Laptop ,why cant they connect to each other?



Another Question : could i implement Traditional Merge replication to synchronize my DBs or do i need to configure Web Synch in Merge rep to enable connecting via the internet?!



Thanks Guys!

Cannot Connect To Remote Distributor -- Linked Server Error

Mar 8, 2007

I have 2 servers: #1 -- SQL 2005 SP1 publisher ; #2 -- SQL 2005 SP2 subscriber

originally I had #1 as pub and dist but dist but killing my CPU so I was in the process of moving the dist to #2... Got it all configured and when I tried to add #2 as a dist for #1 it fails when I get to the administrative password screen... It give me an error about how it cannot connect with the given password but under that is says linked server failed.

Since it mentioned linked server I tried to connect via the previous linked server to #2 and it failed... I cannot connect to #2 anymore from #1. I can login directly to #2 and I can use osql to connect to #2 but linked server does not work. I tried all drivers and many configurations...

Any ideas??

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

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 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

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 ?

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.

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.

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.
