I have a SQL 2005-2005 Express Merge replication. Articles with FKs.
Added a new subscriber, when I initialize it, some tables are updated more
190 times. For example, customer table has 100 records, however the
initialization inserts 100 and update 19000 rows. It makes the initialization
too long.
Is this has someting to do the some old snapshot not cleanup or Child and
Parent Generations in Separate Generation Batches?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
John

Hi John,
I understand that when you added a new subscriber to your current SQL
Server 2005-2005 Express merge replication, you found that the
initialization process was too long.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.
To let me better understand your issue, I would like to know the following
qeustions:
1. How many articles published in your publication database?
2. How much space that the replicated tables have?
3. How many subscribers in your merge replication?
4. How long did the initialize process finish?
5. Could you please mail me (changliw_at_microsoft_dot_com) the replication
logs for further research?
Look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Charles Wang

|||Hi John,
Thanks for your response.
I have checked the logs. The initialization seemed no problem. For why the
initialization causes so many updates, I need to consult the product team
on this issue since the initialization process is undocumented and I could
not assume anything. I will let you know the response as soon as possible
when I get their responses. However the process may need a long time and
sometimes may not get responses.
I appreciate your patience, but if I could not get their response within 2
days. Effectively and immediately I recommend that you contact Microsoft
Customer Support Services (CSS) via telephone so that a dedicated Support
Professional can assist you in a more efficient manner. Please be advised
that contacting phone support will be a charged call.
To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a
look at the web site listed below.

|||Charles,
I was wondering if this has something to do with the fact that I added some
columns to 2 published tables. This made the replication articles merge by
columns ( sp_mergearticlecolumn)
Thanks,
John

|||Hi John,
Adding columns may cause SQL Server Merge replication reinitialization
which may need a long time. I recommend that you refer to "Adding Columns"
section in this article to see if your steps would cause the
reinitialization:

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
