Query to check replication

≫ Next: How to configure replication in sql server 2012

≪ Previous: snapshots x transactional replication

Hi,

I created the query below to check if every transaction was already sent to the subscriber. Is this query correct ?

At this moment the query show a difference of 150 transactions between one publisher/subscriber, but the synchronization status says "No replicated transactions available".

What's wrong ?

The query :

select count(*) Diferenca from distribution..MSlogreader_history where
xact_seqno > (select max(xact_seqno) from distribution..MSdistribution_history)

Thank you !

Hi,

We've merge replication configured in our environment(4 SQL servers 2008R2). As we know merge replication is bidirectional, its working fine in case of inserts i.e, if a row is inserted at publisher it's getting updated at subscriber and vice-versa. The Issue is, if row gets deleted at publisher its getting deleted at subscriber but, if a row gets deleted in any of 3 subscribers its not getting deleted at publisher. I've checked delete_tracking option in sp_helpmergearticle and its set to '1'.

Please help me out. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

we have a situation where a publisher hosted on server which has 45 subscriptions is required to be moved to a new server. We do not want to reinitialize the subscriptions as a test for this has shown 8 hours of time required for each subscription. can you please let us know the steps we have to follow to do a server switch.

This is merge replication with push subscription.

I have a transactional continuos replication, but some subscriptions are stopping with this error.

First I thinked it was humam error, someone dropped rows at the subscriber, but it's not.

It's happening every two days, more or less.

I'm thinking about change the delete stored procedure in subscriber to stop to generate errors when the record isn't found, but I'm not sure about the consequences.

Any suggestions ?

Hi-

We have no problems replicating the snapshot data now to the subscriber - row counts are exact - distrib/publish(source) and subscriber(destination) appear to be the same in all tables.

However - being a beginner and still learning replication...we've recreated the distrib/publisher DB's and subscribers multiple times taking up much time as we are not sure what options we have to speed up the process.

We knwo we could backup a copy of our distrib/Publisher DB and then restore to the subscriber server and start replicating...but, would we be able to replicate (table, etc.) only changes from that full bkp copy without any issue/errors?

We have not used validation yet but appreciate any advice.

Thx for any help.

≪ Previous: how can i change the repldata default location in sql server 2008r2?

Hi All,

I'm playing with a Peer to Peer configuration in SQL 2008 with the following setup Site A (Primary Site) has A Publisher, a remote distributor and multiple subscribers. Same setup at site B. The plan with this setup is to only update site A. I got it up and running, but now I want to test the loss of the primary site. Actually there are two scenarios that I want to test.

1) The loss of the distributor.

2) The loss of the Primary publisher.

For Test Scenario 1 I was planning to stop the SQL Server Agent to simulate the loss of the distributor at site A. Is this a sufficient test?

For Test 2 I was going to try to delete the Primary database and see if replication still works between the publisher and subscribers at Site B.

Do these sound like viable tests or am I a moron :-)

TIA

Mike

PS The reason I'm asking (rahter than just going ahead and try it) is because right now for some reason I when I right click on the SQL Agent Start, Stop, and Restart are greyed out and I don't have the access to RDP to the server to shut services down that way. I have to put arequest in to have the service stopped. LOL

distribution log retation - log is huge!

≫ Next: Bi-Directional replication from sqlserver to oracle

≪ Previous: How to test the loss of remote distributor?

Hi,

I have 26 publishers with transactional replication to a central subscriber.

All the distributor properties and publication properties in these publishers are the same.

5 of these 26 publishers (publisher/distributor in the same server) have huge distribution log files (up to 100GB) and the log space used is over 90%, even using recovery model simple.

I already tried to configure the distribution retention and the publication retention, already checked the cleanup jobs and even executed the cleanup procedures myself, but the % space used in the huge logs are still over 90%.

I can understand a log retention in the publication database because the log reader agent needs to read the log and send the information to the distributor, but I can't understant this retention in the distributor database. As far I know, the information in the distributor database is inside the system tables, the cleanup jobs delete old information in these tables, but why I still have this problem in the distribution log and only 5 of 26 distributors with this problem ?

How can I shrink the distribution log in this case ? The database is already in simple recovery model, I'm not understanding the log retention.

Thank you !

Hi,

We use snapshot replication.

In order to reduce the down time of the snapshot, we are replicating it with a temporary name and at the end of the replication we rename the table to the original name.

The rename is done with the paramaneter @post_snapshot_script of sp_addpublication

because of security reasons I can't put any file on the SQLServer machine.

Is there any other way to reduce the snapshot time without placing file on the SQLServer machine.

The real issue is, if row gets deleted at publisher then its getting deleted at subscriber but, if a row gets deleted in any of 3 subscribers then its not getting deleted at publisher.

When a row is deleted at publisher then it's getting updated in MSmerge_tombstone(Publisher).

Merge agent may fail during merge replication

Hello,

We received the following error on a subscribers agent

"The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Subscriber for changes not yet sent to the Publisher. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload)."

On the support site it mentioned we might be able to fix this problem without a complete reinitialization. Does anyone know how to fix this? I can't find any documentation how to execute a partial initialization.

The subscriber has a high latency connection to the publisher and a complete initialization might take a few days which we need to avoid if all possible.

Thanks for the help!
