Hi All,
If distribution agent is failed due to occured deadlock on transactional replication and data is not going from source to destination. Genarally if deadlock occured automatically sql server kills that process, hence if deadlock issue has resolved. Can any one explain what is the next step, is it require to start distributor agent or any other process should we follow.

Hi Everyone,
I have a scenario where I have a publication ready for merge replication. I have also created the Subcribers.
Now I want to write a small C# application to get my data synchronized using RMO objects.
But unfortunately I am unable to find Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.dll.
In my server I have SQL Server 2008 R2.
And all my subscriber systems have SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition installed.
Now where can I find the Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.dll
Thanks

I have set up an Oracle transactional publication on a single table as a test. Snapshot works ok so i assume we have good data mapping. However the replication is failing on update. When i try to view the failing command, using sp_browsereplcmds, it is truncated. .
sp_MSupd_BULLPERSON" (62,'Mr','FRANK','Q','SPENCER',12345,NULL,'678910','M','1939-09-13 00:00:00','M',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,'2013-01-18 14:10:36',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,' --missing parameters here.
This makes it impossible to test the sp_MSupd_Table command and isolate any problem field which is causing the update to fail. If i look directly into theMSrepl_commands table the command is encoded. Looking in the sp_browsereplcmds script i see sp_printstatement @query which i assume translates the coded command - is this truncating the command ?
The error shown in the replication monitor does not reveal which field i need to look at
I created a smaller publication so that the entire update with all parameters is visible. this works fine. For the same update it gives no error. Consequently i don't know it there is an errant data mapping in the larger publication or even if the larger publication is sending a truncated command!
Any help appreciated.

I have several rows in the msmerge_genhistory table for which there are no corresponding records in MSMerge_Contents or MSMerge_tombstone tables based on the generation and art_nick values.
Is this normal?
There were even some records in the msmerge_genhistory table that had changecount value like 35000, but there were no records in the MSMerge_Contents or MSMerge_tombstone tables corresponding to those.
If there are no records in the MSMerge_Contents or MSMerge_tombstone tables, should the changecount value in msmerge_genhistory not be 0?
This is on SQL Server 2008.
Appreciate all the inputs.
Hello,
I am getting the timeout expired error with a transactional replication distribution agent. The problem was that there are about 16 millions unreplicated commands in the Msrepl_commands table. The QueryTimeout was increased from 1800 to 7200 in the distribution agent profile. But it kept getting the message "The process is running and is waiting for a response from the server.".
I tried to modify the distribution.sys.sp_MSget_repl_commands but it said it did not exist. Is there a way to pass in the @read_query_size? From the SQL profiler, the command is
exec sp_MSget_repl_commands 7,0x000011B00001224A005900000000,0,10000000
Ideally if I could change the sp_MSget_repl_commands or the @read_query_size so that the distribution agent could start with a small number of commands to replicate.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks a lot,

I am trying to setup a Transactional pull subscription from a second SQL Server but can't get it to work. I have tried setting it from the publisher server or the subscription server but no luck. I thought I have the userid issue and used sa to connect to distributor but still no luck. I am not restoring the database on the subscription server, I am creating a new one.
I have created multiple snapshots, tried reinitializations, syncronizations and all but no luck. What am I missing ?
I did get the push subscription to work.
Thanks
We are migrating a subscriber DB to a new server, and it is re-publishing 2 days worth of commands.
I read in an old checklist here that someone ran these commands to clear all PUBLISHED and UNPUBLISHED commands for a subscription, possibly to prevent this from happening?:
EXEC sp_changesubstatus @publication = 'zz_OLTP_Transactions'
EXEC sp_changesubstatus @publication = 'zz_OLTP_Transactions'
,@subscriber = 'z89'
,@status = 'active'
GO
I have heard that these are very dangerous to run. Does anyone know exactly what the "status=inactive" command does?
Thanks.
,@subscriber = 'z89'
,@status = 'inactive'
GO
Hi
I need to import data from an old replicated database, and keep the identity columns.
The data is to be imported to a new database that is replicated to a set of subscribers.
The identity ranges for each subscriber for each table is different in the old database and the new database.
* Is it possible to set the assigned ranges in the new database to be equal to the ranges in the old database, and reset next available id for each subscriber?
* Is it possible to reset the identiy ranges in the new database for all subscribers to ensure the ranges starts on a higher id then max id in the old database?
(for example max id + 1000 for subscriber 1, max id + 2000 for subscriber 2 etc)
The identities should still after the change be managed automatically.
(SQL Server 2008 R2)
best regards

We are consistently getting the error message below on our subscribers that have blob images. Is there a way to increase a setting to avoid SQL to throw this error, or another suggestion? Thanks in advance.
Version:-SQL server 2005 SP4
Error messages:
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.
Aprroch followed but not wokirng
I have approx 40 Publisher and subscriber but it didn't happend beofore.
I have laso tried to cahnge the Heratbeat_intervel via sp_changedistributor_property
I have alos tried to re-create the relications and even for ANY publisher snapshot agent is not working.
tried to check the bloking also
could some one please try to give me the exact solutions.

Hello,
I have a standard SQL Server installation of 2012 with a Merge Publication on a server (win2008). I have a laptop with sql 2008 R2 express installed. When trying to create a subscription to the 2012 publication, I get an error message "For merge publication, the version of the subscriber must not exceed the version of the Publisher". However, I am not. The subscriber is 2008 R2, and the publisher is 2012. Any ideas?
We have transactional replication working on sql server 2008. Our Publisher and Distribution database reside on P2 our data is being replicated to P1 via Pull Subscriptions.
We have several tables that have only their schema replicated and for those tables I have set filters so that the tables always remain empty even when loading a new snapshot.
My question is about validation. When I run validation these (schema only) tables seems to pass validation even though one table has records in it and the other is empty. Is this by design or is there something wrong with my configuration that is causing this? I need to explain to management why validation reports successful on tables whose data is not getting replicated. It makes them question the accuracy of the replication overall.
Any ideas/pointers to explanations would be appreciated.
Hello,
i have 2 sql server instance each instance in one sever i want to build DR site and replicate data file using storage replication .
any help to build this ?
Here is my situation...
I've got three databases formatted as SQL Sever 2008 databases running on SQL Server 2008 R2 installs. We are looking at upgrading two of these databases to R2 or outright upgrade the databases and servers to 2012.
Currently we have transactional replication working between an application database that is SQL Server 2008 (not R2) and another db that is also SQL Server 2008 (not R2). Are there any potential problems that can occur with the replication process if we upgrade the subscriber database to 2008 R2 or 2012?
Thanks for any help.
Hello everyone,
I have a system that is replicates data from a 2005 instance to a 2012 instance of sql server. We setup transactional replication a couple of weeks back and it has been running fine until yesterday. Yesterday, we start getting errors on the log reader (list below). Error seen below. What is odd to me is that we are still getting data replicated, albeit, with a large latency.

From what I see in the error above, this really looks more like a networking error. However, my network admin team is telling me that there aren't any issues with the direct pipe that we setup between the two replicated instances.
I am wondering if it is possible that there is an issue with a specific log section that might be causing errors, and if so, how do I figure out what is happening and the LSN that is causing the issue as it isn't listed above. If I had the LSN, I have a script to find the command being used.
Thanks for the help everyone.

I have a transactional PULL replication on SQL 2008,I hv created individual publisher and subscriber for every article.
In my replication monitor my most of the subscribers are showing status
'Retrying Failed Command'
and details r given that
'transaction was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim '
when I chk d errorlog it gives me table "MSreplication_subscriptions" where all deadlocks are occurring while updating.
Even I rebuilt the indexes on that table but no effect.
Kindly suggest on the same.
Env: SQL Server 2008 R2
We have two SQL Databases used by two different applications.We need to synchronize some of data between these databases.Both the databases are in Read/Write mode and database structure may be different at source and destination. Records should be synchronized as soon as any DML statement is fired on any of the database. What are the tools/techniques available to achieve this.
Thank
