Web Synchronization got struck with "Downloaded snapshot file xxxxx_367.bcp"

Greetings,

I configured a SQL Server Web Synchronization between two domains (without VPN, IIS 7.5, SQL Server 2008 R2, Merge replication with pull). The configuration was successful and  i set output log file and have seen the messages like

2013-05-07 04:58:42.347 Downloaded snapshot file 'ACTION_ITEM_ATTACHMENTS_3.sch'.
2013-05-07 04:58:42.862 OLE DB Subscriber 'SERVERNAME\SQL2008R2STD': {call sys.sp_MSadd_merge_history90 (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)}
2013-05-07 04:58:42.862 Percent Complete: 0

----------------------------------------------------------

My database contains around 700 tables to replicate. After few hours when i checked the status of replication at subscriber side, i realized that it struck with the message like,

2013-05-07 05:27:50.050 Downloaded snapshot file 'UOM_MSTR_366.bcp'.
2013-05-07 05:27:50.752 OLE DB Subscriber 'SERVERNAME\SQL2008R2STD': {call sys.sp_MSadd_merge_history90 (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)}

2013-05-07 05:27:50.752 Downloaded snapshot file 'UPGRADE_LOG_367.bcp'.


I restarted the agent and it started from the beginning. After few hours i checked again it shows message as above (with different table name) .  When i checked internet connection between two domain, i have seen that there is a connection timeout in between (for milliseconds only).

Then i increased internet_timeout property to 1800 at subscriber side. But still getting the issue. What is the cause of this ? How can i overcome this issue?

Greetings

I would like to know whether SQL Server Web Replication is recommended for database having  more than 700 tables. If not what are the main disadvantages ?

In this case, replication over VPN is advisable ?

hi Is it possible for the distribution agent to write this message to event log ?Because we would like to get alerted on the above message, whenever a new table is added to the publication a snapshot that needs to be generated, but we have seen few times this is missed by a dba or our deployment mechanism. We are running sql 2008 sp3.

 I set up a server with SQL 2k8 R2 and want to sync a publication with a remote subscriber.

Everything is basically set up and I am using RMO.  Subscriptions are being created on both server and client (uses Express version) , but when I use 

subscription.SynchronizationAgent

To initialize the subscription on the clients, is gives me an error : 

The process could not connect to Distributor 'MACHINENAME\INSTANCE'.      

at Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.MergeSynchronizationAgent.Run()
   at Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.MergeSynchronizationAgent.Synchronize()


What could be the problem ?? How can I check ??

Transactional Replication with Queued updating..

$

Hello friends,

I have setup the transitional replication Push with Immediate update mode , and now it failed because subscriber rebooted and now data was out of sync . Snapshot was not available so to reinitialize i have to generate snapshot and then sync the delta data, but from below link it explained that after setting up the Transitional replication there is way we can update the subscription to queued mode automatically fail over. Do any know how to do that...

link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152474(v=sql.90).aspx

message : To change the update mode after the subscription is created, the update_mode property must be set to failover (which allows a switch from immediate updating to queued updating) or queued failover (which allows a switch from queued updating to immediate updating) when the subscription is created. These properties are set automatically in the New Subscription Wizard.

Or else please let me know how to sync up the data without reinitialize the data and in future how to tackle this senario.

Friends can any one tell me how to setup :

Transactional replication push type which should be able to sync after network outage or any temporary outage. 


Slow insert into a temp table during an sp_MSsetupbelongs call

$
0

Recently in a merge replication scenario with SQL 2008 RTM and SQL Compact cleints we experienced a massive slowdown in server operations during sync. Digging into the process we found that the sp_MSsetupbelongs procedure calls are lengthy. Further profiling and tests revealed that the longest step is a simple looking insert statement into a temp table:

insert into #notbelong (tablenick, rowguid, flag) select distinct 4038005   , [article1].rowguidcol, -1 from [dbo].[article1] [article1], MSmerge_bi_98DAC279CFFC4D03B886B646B914017A_v_3FE29C0B84BE4927B7EAAB819F09F5D5 [article2], #notbelong nb where (article2.fej= article1.id) and nb.tablenick = 4038006 and [article2].rg = nb.rowguid

This insert is inside an expand procedure MSmerge_expand_13, and in the reproduced environment takes some 3 minutes to complete. The select itself produces two rows in zero seconds, the #notbelong table contains 24640 rows before the insert. The #notbelong table and its indices are created by sp_MSsetupbelongs. If in MSmerge_expand_13 we drop the index on #notbelong the insert is fast. Replacing the above insert with one that uses a cursor on the select is also efficient even with the index on. Using another temp table accepting all rows from the select without distinct and than inserting distinct rows from this table is also efficient.

How on earth can such an insert be that slow?

Monitoring transactional (Pull) replication for failures.

Hi,

I have setup transactional replication (one way) in Pull model. I need to know if distribution agent fails therefore I tried to configure an alert from Replication Monitor (Replication: agent failure, error 14151). The problem is that the alert resides on Publisher (mine is Distributor as well) but in Pull model, the distribution agent is on the other side (subscriber). 

I guess the alert will not be raised if there is any connection problem when distribution agent tries to sync.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"Could not execute sp_replcmds" after rebuilding indexes

After the weekly index rebuild I get the error "Could not execute sp_replcmds". The way I fix this is to stop the log reader and execute sp_replrestart on the database in question. There are several other databases that are replicated and indexes rebuilt and do not experience this problem, this one database in particular consistently gives the error every week.

distribution.dbo.MSdistribution_history comment explanation

$

The comment column of distributor.dbo.MSdistribution_history contains comments such as

<stats state="2"fetch="11554" wait="214007" cmds="17898546" callstogetreplcmds="106880"><sincelaststats elapsedtime="300"fetch="8" wait="291" cmds="1948689" cmdspersec="6495.000000"/></stats>

The state value translates to

STATE   Indication1       Normal Log2       Reader Thread has to WAIT for Writer3       Writer Thread has to WAIT for Reader

Is the comment telling me that the reader thread is waiting for the writer thread but has read 1948689 cmds since the last stats entry. Or is it telling me that the reader thread is waiting for the writer thread and the writer thread has written 1948689 cmds since the last stats entry?

replication internals

Hi, I am trying to understand internals of replication. I am implementing a push transactional replication I understand, Log reader agent Monitors transaction log of all published databases that are using it for replication. When it finds transactions that are part of a publication, it copies them to the distribution database where they can then be applied to the subscribers by the distribution agent.

But what I do not know is how does all this happen internally? Could somebody please explain.

Thanks in advance.............


"Natural" Diapsplay Order After Log Shipping

$
0
0

I have a database that is subject to log shipping. I ran a query that dropped restraints, reassigned IDs then added the restraints back in. The log shipped copy of the datbase was automatically updated by log shipping.

If I query a table in the originaldatabase without an order by clause, the rows are displayed in the "natural" primary key order. This is not the case for the log shipped copy, I need to add "order by ID" to get the same order.

Can anyone explain why this is so?

I need 32 bit copy of SQL server 2008

$

I have a prospective customer for replicated data and I need to set up a distributor on their 'server' which is 32 bit XP SP3

I did not realise it was 32 bit till today and had been hoping to use a 64bit evaluation of 2008 R2, no such luck and now I cannot find 2008 anywhere - I understand 2008 R2 is only available as 64 bit

Can anybody help me with this?

They do have a copy of 2005 on the server if that is what I have to do can I convert the 2008 R2 data to work on 2005? or do I have to export the objects?

any tips would be great thanks

Hi,

I have a table that is receiving rows continuosly throughout the day (transactional replication) and I need to update certain columns (the logic is tio complex to use calculated fields). Is there a way, outside of using triggers, to kick off some code every time a row is inserted? This is SQL Server 2008 R2.

thanks

Will Table partitioning make re-initialization process fast

$

Size of publisher database is 1 TB so when we go for re-initialization of Transaction replication it takes a huge time to complete this activity.

So is there any way to make re-initialization of transaction replication process faster.

Will table partitioning of big tables will help to make re-initialize process fast.

I have SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2

Deleting rows with disabling replication triggers

$
0
0

We have a pubication with only 8 tables but two of them with 4-5 million rows. Via partitioning the row first belongs to a specific client than after a given time the row becomes archive so it is taken from the client partition into the archive partition. Because the clients are SQL Mobile databases on mobile devices even these archiving creates a lot of delete commands for the clients: the server sends delete commands to all clients for these rows.

We want to delete the unnecessary rows from these tables but this would create delete messages like the archiving. Is it possible to disable the delete trigger created by the server on these tables before deleting rows? After deleting we would re-enable the trigger. We would delete only rows in the archived state.
