A ---> B <---> C
I have SQL server A with a transactional publication to server B , then a merge publication (download-only) on server B, with a subscriber C.
Server A is the only distributor.
When I do an insert/update at A, it reaches B, but never C; unless I re-create the snapshot at B, then C is updated.
Why is C not getting any updates/inserts?
This all works fine, if from B to C, it is a transactional publication. I need it to be merged replication so it will work with a SQL CE database.
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise for A and B, then trying SQL 2008 R2 Express, SQL 2008 R2 Standard, and SQL CE 3.5 for server C.
Any suggestions on to what I am doing wrong, or what I should be doing is welcomed.
