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:
1.) Does the master need to be read only or can it be configured to be
updateable as well?
2.) Can the distribution agent on all the publishers be set to
continuously distribute or should it be staggered so as not to cause a
problem when another distribution agent is running?
3.) If the distribution is set to "delay distribution" will this cause
changes on the subscriber to be pushed out to the publishers?
In this database guid's are used as pk's so the issue of pk collisions
is not a problem.
I hope that this question is not too vague. My experience thus far
with replication has been simple one way transactional and simple
merge replication.

Q #1 1.) Does the master need to be read only or can it be configured to be
updateable as well?
A. The subscriber database can be updated by users on that end, it
does not need to be read only.
Q #2 continuously distribute or should it be staggered so as not to cause a
problem when another distribution agent is running?
A. It can be done either way without issue.
Q #3 3.) If the distribution is set to "delay distribution" will this cause
changes on the subscriber to be pushed out to the publishers?
A. No.
All, I have answered my own questions since I posted this missive.

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

I have taken over a transactional replication setup that is being used
for fault tolerance (I know, I know...).
The scenario I am concerned with is where the publisher goes down due to
failure, so we need to point our application at the subscriber and start
updating the data there. We are not using the immediate updating option.
How do I go about re-syncing the publisher with the data that been added
to, or changed on the subscriber,...

I am experiencing problems replicating (transactional) from SQL Server
2000 sp3 to DB2 v8.2 (running on Red Hat Linux).
I have created an OLE-DB linked server to DB2. The connection connects
successfully in EM and I can query the DB2 tables using the OPENQUERY
function.
I have successfully added the linked server connection as a Subscriber.
I have now set up a Push Subscription to DB2 from one of my
Publications.

Hello,
I am learning SQL Server 2005 Express. I need to test replication but
when I run New Subscription Wizard I got error: "There are no
publications to which you can subscribe, either because this server
has no publications or because you do not have sufficient privileges
to access the publications."
I see no option for publications. Does this mean that in Express I
cannot run replication? If I can, how?
Thank you very much

Hi,
I am setting up transactional replication and have run into a problem… Can anyone help?
The table I am publishing is called Area. The table, Area, is the same on both the publisher and the subscriber.
When executing transactional replication, the error I get from the distribution agent is:-
Cannot update identity column 'AreaId'.

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.

Hi All,
I have a table with a column DeletedDate which stores a logical delete
of a record.
I need to set up transactional replication for reporting purposes that
this deleted records should not be replicated to the subscriber. That
is, if i see a value on the DeletedDate, I don't want that record to
be picked up for replication.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
