Hello,
I setup the transactional replication to replicate remote database that has 50 tables.
Two of the tables with huge columns.
I splitted the columns by creating several views before running the initial snapshot.
Questions:
1. Can the database replication copy the views.?
2. Where the view will be stored at the subscriber database?
Thank you.
Edwin
Hello
I have server "123456" SQL 2005 On clustered environment. I added permissions to snapshot folder, it is on sharing for both nodes.
I got error during the set up as:
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo
Additional Information:
An exception occurred while executing a TSQL or Batch(
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
An error occurred during the execution of xp_cmdshell. A call to "Create Process" failed with error code 5

Changed database context to 'master' (Microsoft SQL Server, Error 15121)
The datafolder exists, sql cluster service account from domain added in to snapshot folder, administrators access also on this folder.
Please advice how to troubleshoot this issues. Thanks, Jay
Hello,
We are new to replication and are testing it in our development environment. We have a peer-to-peer transactional publication on our three servers. The single table in the original publication replicated fine to the two subscribing servers. We next added a new table (article) to the publication. Adding it to the original publication worked fine but the table did not replicate to the other servers. (We previously had changed the schema of the original table and the schema changes replicated properly.) We attempted to recreate the snapsnot using the "View Snapshot Agent Status" option. Clicking the Start button resulted in the display of this message: "[0%] A snapshot was not generated because no subscriptions needed initialization."
This seems odd because a new table was added to the publication and Microsoft help states that the snapshot must be rebuilt. I have read other topics that refer to a @immediate_sync property that must be set to zero. I'm not sure if this is our problem or even how to set this value. Meanwhile, the other servers, as viewed through the Replication Monitor, are complaining that their snapshots do not match the publication snapshot.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm interested in combining the Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication and Standard Transactional Replication to provide a scale out solution of SQL Server 2005. The condition is as follows:
We may have 10 SQL Server 2005 (1 Publisher + 9 Subscriber) running transactional replication in the production environment and allow updates in subscribers. To offload the loading of the publisher, we plan to have 2 Publisher (PubNode1 and PubNode2) using Peer-to-Peer Transaction Replication and the rest 8 subscribers will be divided into 2 groups. The subscribers 1-4 (SubNode1, SubNode2, SubNode3, and SubNode4) will be set to be standard transactional replication subscribers of PubNode1, and the rest 4 subscribers (SubNode5, ..., SubNode8) will be set to be standard transactional replication subscribers of PubNode2.
Is it possible to setup above 2 Publisher + 8 Subscriber topology?
Also, could we set the 8 subscribers with updatable subscriptions to achieve each node is updatable?
We do not plan to set all the 10 nodes using Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication as it is necessary to make sure n*(n-1)/2 (i.e. 45) peer-to-peer connections is reliable. It seems that the maintenance cost is high if the servers are not in a LAN and the topology is very high coupling. So we prefer to divide the 10 nodes into 2 groups and reduce the cost of each node to maintain the connections to all other sites.
That's the scenario.
Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.
Thanks,
Terence
Greetings,
We have recently begun using transactional replication to keep the data in our SQL Servers synchronized in a geographically dispersed environment. We replicate our tables but we have never replicated views, stored procedures, or user functions in our production systems. We are thinking of doing so but wonder if the overhead of running the replication agents doesn't outweigh the benefits of having replication assist with the occassional change to these design elements.
Is anyone on this forum replicating views, sprocs, and user functions? What has your experience been?
Thanks for any ideas that you share.

Hi,I have transactional replication set up on on of our MS SQL 2000 (SP4)Std Edition database serverBecause of an unfortunate scenario, I had to restore one of thepublication databases. I scripted the replication module and droppedthe publication first. Then did a full restore.When I try to set up the replication thru the script, it created thepublication with the following error messageServer: Msg 2714, Level 16, State 5, Procedure SYNC_FCR ToGPRPTS_GL00100, Line 1There is already an object named 'SYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100' in thedatabase.It seems the previous replication has set up these system viewsSYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100. And I have tried dropping the replicationmodule again to see if it drops the views but it didn't.The replication fails with some wired error & complains about thisviews when I try to run the synch..I even tried running the sp_removedbreplication to drop thereplication module, but the views do not seem to disappear.My question is how do I remove these system views or how do I make thereplication work without using these views or create new views.. Whyis this creating those system views in the first place?I would appreciate if anyone can help me fix this issue. Please feelfree to let me know if any additional information or scripts needed.Thanks in advance..Regards,Aravin Rajendra.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been researching on the proper steps or sequence to follow to completely remove SQL Server 2012 Transactional Replication. I have read articles about using SSMS as well as using replication stored procedures and some procedures use SQLCMD or just regular TSQL executed in SSMS. I have also read articles where people said all you really need is connect to the Publisher instance, find the publication you want to remove and choose "Delete" and everything will be taken care of behind the scene. I have three SQL servers that participate in transactional replication. SQL-P (publisher),
SQL-D (distributor) and SQL-S (subscriber). Do I need to connect to the distributor instance and the subscriber instance when removing transactional replication or is it just really connecting to the publisher and click delete on the publication? I want everything gone including any metadata, systems tables, distributions db and any other replication objects created during the initial configuration.
Ok, I'm knee-deep in replication-hell.
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 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.

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.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
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 am working on bringing our disaster recovery site to be a live site. Currently we replicate to one of out servers (server B) with merge replication (from server A). Server A also does one way transactional replication form some table to several other servers including servers at the DR site.
This setup is not going to be fast enough for what we need so I am wondering if a table is receiving merge replication will the merge updates also replicate down the transaction path??
Example...
Server B update a row and merges to Server A. With this update them replicate (via transactional) to Server C??
thanks...
hi all,
Could we configure a merge replication such as replicate the master table and its all related tables (relation deep could be 1.)
We dont want to manually find master table relations and configure replication for the related tables.
please help for that configuration

i have a problem with my replication.
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) !!

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
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe 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?
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?
On my distribution server there is a directory called mssql7
epldataunc that houses the bcp, sch and idx files for replications. A directory is created for each publication. Most directories are empty but some contain all the table idx, sch and bcp files for the publication. Some of these files are over 6 month. Does anyone know if these files are neccessary to keep and why do only some publications have these files. I am wondering if they are kept when you push the publicaiton and it errors out originally and you have to restart it? If any one can shed some like on this I would appreciate it.
Hi,
I am planning to do a transactional replication from production server to reporting server. In one of my database is having 150 tables in it, only 100 tables are having primary key . Remaining tables are not have primary keys. So i am not able to do transactional replication for those 50 tables. Could any one tell me how i have to approch transactional replication. Because i need to have production data at my reporting server in regular interval.
So pls suggest me .
I am using Sql 7.0 with service pack2.
Thanks!

I have a problem with transactional replication in SQL Server 7. I have two databases (a publisher-distributor server and a suscriber server) and when I do an UPDATE in the publisher database the Log Agent Reader reads the UPDATE as an DELETE-INSERT and when the suscriber pull the suscription and try to do first the DELETE the transactional replication stops because of the Foreign Keys in the suscriptor database (that are the same as the publisher).
If anybody knows how to solve it, please tell me
Thanks
I have two servers networked via workgroups (no domain) and am trying to install Transactional Replication. Everything appears to install correctly, but when I run the initial Snapshot Agent I get the following error -
The process could not create file 'CONCEPCIONC$MSSQL7ReplDatauncCONCEPCION_Erik_Rep lication_Erik_Replication19991029153207Employer.sc h'.
Access is denied.
The SQLAgent is starting with same user account on both machines - admin rights and the same password. I have added this user to the (
epldata) folder permissions as well. I even see a "Employer.sch" file in the directory.
What am I missing?
Hello,
I am planning to implement replication between two servers (either snapshot/transactional). Those two servers are physically connected but we don't have domain concept i.e we connected both servers physically and it can be pinked from each other, but not under any domain (not also under different domain). How should I register SQL server& agent services to start with 'Service startup Account'. In this case I cannot start both servers using same domain Account, they how can I relate...
Thanks
Hi guys can anyone help me with this issue. if so thankyou kindly.
1. created transactional publication (for tables, stored procs & views )
2. created empty database at subscriber
3. set up pull subscription at subscriber
4. ran the initial snapshot agent at the publisher
5. checked the schema files & found out it hadn't scripted the primary keys on the tables.
Problem: PRIMARY KEY AINT GOIN ACROSS, COULD ANYONE TELL ME IF IVE MISSED SOMETHING? THANK YOU MUCH APPRECIATED GUYS.
? Could it be that it is not picking up the primary keys on the tables because I am replicating stored procs and views with that publication?
? Should I break my publications into 3; say 1 for each object?
Thank you guys for taking the time to read this.
Hi
I am tring to implement transactional replication.
How do i publish tables which donot have primary keys?...because transactional replication seems to publish only the tables which has a primary key.

Hello all! I am setting up my first Replicated database, and want to get this right.
We are a Newspaper, and I will be Publishing the database that is the back end of the web server. The goal is to load balance the web site as well as to have a second identical server in case something goes wrong. Both the Subscriber and the Publisher need to be kept in sync as new articles are posted, so my client will just be updating the Publisher. But I'd like to keep a single set of usage statistics, so I was thinking of using Immediate Updating so the Subscriber can update the Publisher using two-phase commit.
What will happen if the Publisher shuts down and an update is attempted on the Subscriber? Will it just hang? Let's assume the worst - what if my Publisher is kaput? How do I determine that my other database is a Subscriber; and how do I stop it from being a Subscriber?
Thanks in Advance,
Hi
I have a requirement for pushing transactional publication to various subscribers. Each subscriber will need to receive a different subset of rows from a table. So I need all rows published, but with horizontal filtering at subscriber level. Is there a way of applying filtering at the subscription level.
Thanks

I am using transactional replication between two SQL 2005 databases. On Sunday evenings, we run a maintenance plan that rebuilds the indexes on the publisher DB. When the plan runs, the replication receives errors and cannot continue. The error appears to be at the publisher level. The publisher runs continually and the subcriber runs every 10 minutes. The error states "cannot run sp_replcmds" Other than Sunday, everything runs fine.
Thank you

Hi All!
Need help guys... I'm new to SQL Replication, though I successfully created a transactional replication testing on my machine using PUBS DB and a separate DB.
I'm planning to establish/setup a Transactional Replication. There are two SQL Servers, one is being used by WebApp_1 and the other is being used by WebApp_2. Both servers are maintain by different administrators and situated on different domain/location (both used Win2003 Server). We will transfer some data from Server_1 to Server_2. Server_1 will be setup as Publisher and the other is the Subscriber, then additonalServer_3 will be added and will serve as the Distibutor.
My questions are:
1. Do I need to request separate domain account from the two different servers to establish connection to the Distributor?
2. Will the User databases from Publisher in compromise/affected as far as database settings and data are concerned?
3. Any useful links?
Any help provided will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
Hi everybody,
I'm still pretty new when it comes to SQL server and I'd like to get some opinions about replication. I need to set up replication between 10 sites. The database is about 2 GB and at each size about 10 users are entering data. The databases need to be synchronized at least 3 times a day. Now our application developer told us to use transactional replication while I'm thinking of using merge replication.
Can anyone give me some more advice about the pro and cons of either replication type.
TIA
