data validation alerts

≪ Previous: Agent still attemtpting to run deleted publication

Hello guys,
I have a problem with triggering a "Replication: Subscriber has passed data validation" alert. The replication configuration is as follows:

Bidirectional Transactional Replication
SQL Server Mail is well configured and an Operator is present and is confirmed to send emails (this operator is used in the Response tab of the alert)

The error number of alert's properties is 20575 (Alerts will be raised on: error number 20575). After I mark a publication to validate its subscription I see in the Distribution agent details that the subscription passes validation and the table "sysreplicationalerts" contains the rows (for each published table) with alert_error_code=20575. But I don't see any corresponding event in the event viewer -> application. I think this is the reason of why the alert is not triggered. As far as I understood, for SQL Agent to be able to trigger an allert there should be an event inscription with the corresponding event id.

Could anybody give me a tip why there are no event insciptions and in which situations are sql server events generated? Or may be there is another problem?

Best regards
Igor

Failed to send batch after max errors - Snapshot

January 4, 2014, 2:18 am

≫ Next: Replication Error Message

≪ Previous: data validation alerts

I have been replicating happily between 2008 R2 SQL Servers for some time using Transactional replication.

Replication stopped yesterday with the following messages on the source server:

MSSQL_ENG10054Communication link failure
MSSQL_ENG10054TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
MSSQL_ENGFailed to send batch after max errors
MSSQL_ENGUnspecified error
MSSQL_ENGAn existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
MSSQL_REPL0 The process could not bulk copy into table '"pro"."ZZM012X"'.

In the Event Viewer on the target server this message appears:

"A fatal error occurred while reading the input stream from the network. The session will be terminated (input error: 10054, output error: 0)."

So this happened after it had been replicating for some time. I get the same error now when I try to restart it or if I rebuild the publication/subscription completely.

There are 7 tables in the publication - 6 of them bulk copy and then replicate without issue. The error is specific to one table. The table has a column in that is varchar(132) and it contains recipe instructions to our manufacturing plant. If I replicate the table and exclude this field, it doesn't fail. I initially thought it might be spurious characters in the text column but I have removed these and still get the same error. I have set up a test version of the table and publication/subscription to enable me to test outside of the live environment. Same errors occur.

Does anyone have any clues or pointers to what might be causing it?

Many thanks

I am attempting to set up a very simple snapshot replication and I am encountering this error in the SQL logs: Login failed for user 'Domain\ReplicationUser'. Reason: Attempting to use an NT account name with SQL Server Authentication. [CLIENT: <local machine>].

The interesting thing is that this is a mixed security box running SQL 2008 and I set up the exact same scenario on a SQL 2012 instance on a test server using the same domain account and it worked flawlessly.

The account is valid (and unlocked). If I enter the wrong passwords into the replication property dialogs then the processes abort immediately. With the correct password, they run and put the below information into Job History. Internet searches indicated this could be related to SPN not being registered but my SQL log shows it registered correctly.

Snapshot application stopped - snapshot was delivered but restarts from beginning

≫ Next: Subscription Issue - Assembly could not be installed

≪ Previous: SQL replication wizard. Odd issue

I have added a new subscriber to a transactional replication publication. The distribution agent applied the snapshot (showed 'delivered snapshot' in status) but then failed with an access error (The distribution agent failed to create temporarily files....System returned errorcode 5). I added the agent account to the com directory referenced in the error and reran the distribution job. This started the snapshot over from the beginning (this was a 9 hour process to apply the snapshot). I received the same failure message and am researching permissions.

Once I fix the permissions, is there any way to restart the agent without having to reapply the entire snapshot? If not, is there any way to test the step that was failing without waiting for the 9 hour process to complete again?

Thanks,

Kim

Replication error

January 7, 2014, 8:00 pm

≫ Next: Replication Initialization error

≪ Previous: SQL data Replication based on Rule like where clause in query

Replication was setup a while back and was working fine. Replication was setup from ServerA(Publisher) to ServerC(Subscriber\distributor). There is a mirror setup between ServerA(Principal) and ServerB(Mirror), we tested the mirror few days back and we failed over from ServerA to ServerB, and then from ServerB back to ServerA. In that process replication failed.
Now when I am trying to reinitialize my subscription, the snapshot agent job is failing with the below error:
Exception Message: Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [5]

I checked the publisher for the TCP\IP which was already enabled, I can ping ServerA(publisher) from ServerC(Subscriber\distributor) etc. Actually replication was working fine, before the mirror failover and just by testing the failover I am getting the above error. Any ideas? Thanks.

Reinitialize a Merge subscription without uploading first

Hi,

We had many conflicts and I did multiple article changes. I wanted to reinitialize all the subscriberswithout uploading data from subscribers first. I created a new snapshot and every time I reinitialize a subscriber I leave the "upload changes" textbox unchecked. But as soon as the process start I see subscribers uploading data on the server (there are a few bidirectional articles in the database but most are download only).

Anyone has a clue on how this can happen? Unless I missed something I couldn't find anything in the BOL and when I try to search here and on the web I get result from people having the opposite effects (uploads doesn't work).

I am replicating a database across domains (call them A and B) through a VPN. The Publisher and Distributor are 2012 SP1 in domain A and the subscriber in domain B is 2005 SP3. Since the VPN connection is extremely slow I am using the FTP option for the publication. I now want to use that same publication to replicate to a another subscriber within domain A. What I want to know is if I change the location of the snapshot folder and don't use the FTP option, because this will be faster, will it reinitialize the subscription for the subscriber in domain B?

Synchronizing a new database table column...

≫ Next: Moving Publisher database to 2008R2 but subscriber 2005 will remain same. How to reconfigure this?

≪ Previous: Reinitialize Subscriber Question

Hi.

I've just started learning SQL Server database synchronization and my goal is to make an application that syncs its database to cloud (Azure). This is probably the most basic question but I can't seem to find any simple answers while googling. Is there a way to synchronize new columns that are added to the client (my app) database so that the change is also made to the "cloud" database? And naturally vice versa.

I have learned synchronization using this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee617382.aspx

I've also read similar articles from the web. Haven't found any simple articles that would answer my question, though... :)

I have created two local databases and I have managed to sync new/deleted rows and column value changes but is there a way to sync "structural changes" like new or deleted columns? This is probably something like it would cause data loss etc if clients could alter the database any way the want but, hey, I'm new with this stuff so bear with me. :)

And a follow-up question: ... and what then if it's not possible? How to add new columns to the "master" database if you need new information stored?

Any ideas and tips are very welcome and especially links to tutorials etc.

Best regards,

LogReader failed to execute 'sp_replcmds'

January 9, 2014, 7:54 am

≫ Next: Transactional replication server upgrade

≪ Previous: Group have the access but not able to access the database?

Hi,

I have browsed through a few threads about this error and the suggested answer(s) do help addressing the issue. However, I like someone to help me understand why this issue arised in our situation. Let me layout the situation out.

We are using sql 2012 enterprise edition and moved our databases from one datacenter to a different one six months ago using backup and restore method. The dbs are involving in SQL 2012 Always-On A push transaction replication was set up after the move and replication has been working ever since. The logreader security is using SQL job agent service account to run on and for the connection to publisher we use 'By impersonating the process account'.

Out of the blue a couple days ago, we received replication error messages as follows:

"'The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on server xxx"

"Cannot execute as the database principal because the principal "dbo" does not exist, this type of principal cannot be impersonated, or you do not have permission. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 15517)".

For the above error, the 'exec sp_changedbowner' command on the db addresses the issue. However, the puzzling thing is that if the db owner is the issue, it has been there since we moved six months ago, why this happened now? The log reader is using SQL agent service account to run the process. This account is a domain account which has 'sa' permission. When I saw the error "'The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on server xxx", my iniital thought was that for some reason Logreader was having difficulty using sQL agent service account to authenticate or having permission issue. This prompts me to the following questions:

1. If indeed SQL agent service account is having persmission issue, what would cause it since it has 'sa' permission already? Behind the scene, would it need to authenticate with the Active Directory before it proceeds with its process? If so, when would this happen? If there is some networking or domain authentication issue, would it cause this 'sp_replcmds' error?

2. Say logreader is having permission issue to execute 'sp_replcmds', would it try other method(s) such as impersonating in other context( sicj as other domain login) to try to execute the command? I am trying to understand what route(or process) logreader is trying bheind the scene to cause this error 'the principal "dbo" does not exist' to show up. Again, this so-call db owner issue has existed for six months. If it is the issue, why doesn't it happen before?

It seems when things are working, logreader is working as normal but if something interrupted logreader process, logreader found some hidden problem from its behind the scene process. If someone can shred some light on this, it would be very much appreciated.
