Hello,
I am having trouble getting a pull subscription running.
I have a main database with a publication on one machine (windows server 2012) (SQL 2014)
I have a test database on another machine (windows 10) (SQL 2014)
I have successfully managed to get a push subscription running from my publication database to my test database and this works fine.
I would like to sync an offsite database with the main database via web, which will require a pull subscription.
I have enabled web sync via IIS on the main database server. I have successfully verified that I can connect to the replisapi.dll via the web
To start with I would like to test the pull subscription from my test database within the local network. I created the pull subscription from the test database (not using web sync at this point) and this created successfully. After creation the subscription
does not appear to be running. No job is generated in the agent for this, and when I open the subscription properties, it states that the agent has never been run. The subscription is set to run continuously.
I have tried dozens of times to get this working, including reinstalling SQL server. I noticed that under the replication folder in SSMS, there is no publication folder and there is no option to configure distribution.
Any assistance to get running would be much appreciated. Help please...
