Hi,
For some magical reason, my database replication has suddenly stopped
working. I modified the publication but the Distribution agent will
not run; the snapshot does not get applied to the subscriber, and
changes made at the publisher do not get replicated.
My configuration is: Transactional Replication with a 'Pull'
Subscription. The Subscriber is Updateable with Immediate Updates
Only. All created via the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. Both the
Publisher and Subscriber are on the same server. I'm running SQL
Server 2000 (8.00.760 SP3), on Windows 2000 Server (5.0 (2195)).
I manually run the snapshop agent. It runs fine with the status
'Succeeded' and the Last Action is 'A Snapshot of X article(s) was
generated'.
When I look at the distribution agent, things start to get a bit
confusing in ( <SERVERNAME>/Replication Monitor/ Publishers/
<SERVERNAME?>/ Publication/ Subscription), the status stays
constantly at 'Never Started'. All other columns are either blank or
0. When I right click over the subscription, both Start Synchronising
and Stop Synchronising are NOT greyed out. If I click on either Start
Synchronising or Stop Synchronising (absolutely) nothing happens
(except the mouse turns 'busy' for a fraction of a second). There are
no error messages.
I added -output c:\sqlout.txt -outputverbosele vel 3 to the
distribution agent command. C:\sqlout.txt did not get created.
It worked fine up to a couple of days ago. I'm not sure exactly what
caused the problem, as I made a few changes at the same time. The
changes included: adding a new transactional publication, adding more
articles to an existing transaction publication, and adding a merge
publication. I've tried to go back to the set up before I made the
changes, even disabling replication and starting again from scratch.
Still the problem persists.
The owner of the distribution agent has dbo permissions in both the
publishing and subscribing database. Under 'Publisher and Distributor
Properties' I've set the 'Replication Agent Connection to Publisher'
and 'Agent Connection to the Subscriber' both to Use SQL Server
Authentication, both with the same account that has dbo permissions in
both publishing and subscribing database.
Has anybody come across this problem before? Can anybody make any
suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
I have implemented Snapshot replication on my database server. The
publisher, distributor and the subscriber are in the same machine.
There is a database 'X' that gets replicated every night to database
'Reportdb' on the same machine.
The snapshot agent is scheduled to run every night at 10pm on all
weekdays except sunday.

Greetings All, I was hoping that a replication sage might be able to
answer a question for me.
I want to have one subscriber subscribing to N publishers. I
essentially have a company that has a main headquarters and three
satellite offices. I want each of the satellite offices to push their
data up to the master database. From what I have read it seems like
this should not be a problem. Some questions that come to mind are:

I have a TSQL script to add daily tables to replication and then run
the snapshot agent to distribute them to two subscribers. The script
executes without errors, but when I check the running jobs for each
server I see the following:
JUST AN EXAMPLE
Job1 'Category' REPL-Snapshot
Job2 'Category' REPL-Distribution
What is the difference between these two categories? Also 'Job1' works

First a bit about what I' trying to do.
I'm running SQL Server 2005 Developer edition on my dev box. I've got
two instances set up and am trying to set up transactional replication
(with both immediate and queued updates) between the two instances.
The windows account I'm using to run the replication agents (dist,
logreader, snapshot and queuereader) is a domain account with the same
rights as the SQLServerAgent on my box.

I'm getting this, after upgrading from 2000 to 2005.
Replication-Replication Distribution Subsystem: agent (null) failed.
The subscription to publication '(null)' has expired or does not
exist.
The only suggestions I've seen are to dump all subscriptions. Since
we have several dozen publications to several servers, is there a
decent way to script it all out, if that's the only suggestion?
