Hi
I have a transactional publication containing an Article that is column filtered (i.e some columns are not to be replicated). The corresponding Article in the subscriber is IDENTICAL to the Article in the Publisher. That is, the subscriber article contains the columns of the publisher article that are not replicated. Also, these "additional" subscriber columns both allows null .
Neverthless the application of the snapshot fails with
"The process could not bulk copy into table <Table>."
"End of file reached, terminator missing or field data incomplete"
The bcp file, naturally enough ,only contains values for the replicated columns. I have read advice that states that if the subscriber article specifies defaults for the unreplicated columns then everything should be OK.
How can this be fixed without redefining the subscribers schema definition. Does bcp assume all column values are provided
Can parameters on the bcp command be altered in the publication definition to cater for this situation
