Merge Snapshot execution does not create any BCP files for data tables.

Good Day,
After running Merge Snapshot Subscription Job No BCP files are created
for the data tables:
here is my code for the Merge Articles:
Dim lbResult As Boolean
Dim lobjMArt As MergeArticle2
Dim lbHasIdentity As Boolean
Set lobjMArt = New MergeArticle2
lobjMArt.Name = asTableName
lobjMArt.SourceObjectName = asTableName
lobjMArt.SourceObjectOwner = "dbo"
UpdateLog "CreationScriptOptions Default Value is: " &
lobjMArt.CreationScriptOptions
If abHasIdentity Then
lobjMArt.AutoIdentityRange = True
lobjMArt.PublisherIdentityRangeSize = 1000000
lobjMArt.SubscriberIdentityRangeSize = 1000000
lobjMArt.IdentityRangeThreshold = 85
End If
pobjSQLDMOMerge.MergeArticles.Add lobjMArt
Set lobjMArt = Nothing
lbResult = True
The Job History Shows:
bulk copying snapshot data for article [TableName] (0 rows).
This is shown for all tables. 90 % of my tables contain records. For
Example the Patient Table has 675 records.
What am i Missing?
Thanks In Advance.

The agent just ran and created the bcp files.

Merge Replication-Apply BCP files

How can i apply a BCP files generate by Distributor in the Suscribers.

I don′t know wich parameters BCP.EXE need.

Thanks

Can you explain why you need to manually apply them? Is the merge agent not applying them for you?|||

I need to manually apply because there is few information, and i've configured suscription with the option to no send the schema tables.

I've configured the replication via internet (is slow for a very large tables)

But now i need to send data to the suscribers.

Thanks

|||

manually applying the bcp files is not recommended. If you're having problems, then let us know what they so we can walk you through a solution.

What part is slow, applying the snapshot to the subscribers? Are these large tables? Are you using filtering, and using the dynamic snapshots? Is the agent failing? How would bcp'ing the data across the internet be any faster than merge agent applying the snapshot?

|||

I only need to know how can apply manually the BCP files on the susbcribers.

Any body knows what parameters i have to use to do this.

Thanks

|||I thinks I am having same requirements like Jorge,

See What I am looking for is quit similar to Jorge's case,

I have 2 Database Servers, I have set Merge Replication (Pull) between them,

But Sometimes The Connectivity between both of them is not available for many days, still data needs to be transfered through CD.

I thinks this problem is relavant, if not pls ignor, and pls give some solution

Merge replication using files.

Is it possible to use merge replication without direct connection from suscriber/publisher? I'm trying to find a solution to use files for send/receive merge-replication info from/to server.

^_^,

Thank You.

There is currently no support for Merge replication with files.

Are you concerned about the snapshot fules or you want all of the syncs to be using files? If the former, you should look at alt_snapshot_folder. If the latter, there is no support as of now.

|||

I needed for all syncs :(.

Do you feel there's a way to bypass merge-web-synchronization and use files to do sync.?

I don't know the communication process, but simplifying, maybe we can merge request/s in an ouput file, and response/s in an input file ...

Than you.

|||

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion. This is not a new idea and has been floating in our minds for some time. We may probably take another look at it for the next release but it may not make it.

Merge Replication Performance Issues/Trace Files

We have a merge replication configuration with the distributor and subscriber
on one server and the publisher on another. The performance of the merge
slows down more and more as runs. The bandwidth between servers has already
been ruled out because there they run on a Sonet ring and T3 line between
them. We put SQL Profiler trace on the subscriber end of the merge process
using textdata and duration to try to pin point it down to the source of the
problem. However, the Textdata column has unreadable data, for instance
exec([sp_upd_4FAB988B754745CDECFA93F09EC34073]
'8D8EF6A0-8EDA-4C71-934F-0FAE3E79AFFE',
0x000000000000000000000000008007000000000000000000 0000000000000000, 3, 0x00,
296, 0xECFA93F002000000FF,
0xECFA93F001000000ECFA93F001000000ECFA93F001000000 ECFA93F00100000
Does anyone know if there is any way to translate this into the actual query
executed? Otherwise, I don't see how this helps. I got the trace setup
from a Microsoft web site.
This update proc is being run in binary format.
run this query in your subscription database
select name from sysmergearticles where update_proc
='sp_upd_4FAB988B754745CDECFA93F09EC34073'
to determine which table it is updating.
Basically here are the parameters
Rowguid=0x0000000000000000000000000080070000000000 000000000000000000000000,

colv= 0xECFA93F001000000ECFA93F001000000ECFA93F001000000 ECFA93F00100000
Then there should be a bunch of parameters whose values you have not
supplied me with

Merge replication and dynamic filters question

Hi!
I have a schema that looks like this, on my main server:
tableFiles:
FileID (PK)
FileName
table FileProperties
PropertyID
FileID (FK Files.FileID) (PK)
PropertyName (PK)
PropertyValue
table Hosts_Files
HostName (PK)
FileID (PK)
Now what I want to achieve is this:
There are many clients that use this database. Sometimes they go
offline and take some of the files with them to work offline.
When this occurs, I want to replicate the entire table Files, and only
the rows from FileProperties that have to do with the files they
downloaded to their computer (marked so in Hosts_Files).
Can I make this work with merge replication? I tried but the dynamic
filters I can write are either JOIN or WHERE (or am I wrong?) so I
couldn't manage to do a join between FileProperties and Hosts_Files
only where Hosts_Files.HostName = host_name().
Thanks in advance for answering,
Zzzbla
You could join these tables in the merge publication. Filtering in this case
is a bit tricky as it looks as though you want to change the filter
effectively dynamically. I'm assuming that there is a typo somewhere, as
this doesn't seem to make logical sense: "I want to replicate the entire
table Files, and only the rows from FileProperties that have to do with the
files they downloaded to their computer" - this would seem to imply all
FileProperties. The way I read your requirements are that you want users to
select certain files and have just associated details downloaded? If this is
the case, you can have a further table which relates fileids to hostnames.
Selecting to download a file will cause an insert of a record in this new
table. All tables would be joined on fileid, and the dynamic filter would be
solely to the new table.

|||Hi Paul,
I forgot to mention that the rows in the files table correlate to
physical files. So what I wanted is to have some *physical* files
downloaded to the client's computer, all of the rows in the files table
(the client may have to see or use data about files that he didn't
download) and only the rows in the fileproperties table that are
related to the few rows in files table that are related to the physical
files the user downloaded.
I know I can join the tables - FileProperties and the table that
associates the fileid to the hostname - but when I also need to use
WHERE Hosts_Files.HostName = host_name(). I tried to do it but the
replication wizard doesn't let me.
If you could provide me with a script or an example solution (or is it
just a view that I have to write in order to combine JOIN and WHERE
filters?), I'll be grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Zzzbla

|||Some additions:
The real problem I'm facing is that the table I want to filter by
(Hosts_Files) is only related to the table I want to filter
(FileProperties) via the table Files - which I want to leave unfiltered.
If I let it filter the files table, I get the FileProperties I wanted,
but I also get only the selected rows from files and not the whole
table as required.
I wouldn't want to create a Hosts_FileProperties unless there's no
better solution...
|||Please post up the schema of hte tables involved and I'll have a look. A
(denormalized) linking table will work (maintained by triggers) but there
might be an alternative.

|||As far as I can see, removing the Files properties out of the equation
satisfies these requirements:
Filter:
SELECT <published_columns> FROM [dbo].[Hosts_Files] WHERE
hostname = HOST_NAME()
Join:
SELECT <published_columns> FROM [dbo].[Hosts_Files] INNER JOIN
[dbo].[FileProperties] ON [FileProperties].[FileID] =
[FileProperties].[FileID]

|||Hi Paul,
Thank you. That's what I've been trying to do, but the enterprise
manager kept telling me that Hosts_Files and FileProperties are not
related...
I ran the script you attached but unfortunatly - it still doesn't work.
The subscriber still gets the whole FileProperties table and not only
the properties for the files in Hosts_Files.
Have you got any idea why this isn't working?
Thank you again.

|||I don't know why you get this error message from EM but the script runs. As
far as the publication I posted up goes you're quite right - I just tested
this and only the table directly related to the host_name() function is
filtered. Interesting! The other option is to use the host_name function on
the file_properties table as well. I know that this isn't related to host
names, but we can make it related by using a UDF.

|||Thank you for your fast and helpful replies.
Well, in this case now when the obvious fails, I'm left with two
options:
- FILTER FileProperties with a user defined function, or
- JOINing FileProperties with a new table that has hostname and
FilePropertyID.
The first one probably has a cost in querying, and the second one in
inserting. Which one in your opinion is better? Also, if I use a user
defined function, should I pass HOST_NAME() as a parameter to it in the
filter, or simply use HOST_NAME() in the function itself (i.e. not as a
parameter)?
