Transactional replication

  • 1) log reader agent started successfully

    2) in the errorlog no errors relevant to the replication

    3) sp_replcmds no return rows

    4) distribution db is empty ([dbo].[MSrepl_transactions], [dbo].[MSrepl_commands])

    why transactions not propagated to distributor? how to diagnoze it?

  • Is this snapshot replication? Replication support only?

    When you open the replication monitor and drill into the publication are you seeing any warnings / errors?

    Can you simulate a transaction on replicated table to see if it actually gets replicated?

  • Check the snapshot agent - it needs to run to create the initial snapshot. Until that is done, there is nothing for the distribution agent to do - hence nothing in the distribution database.

  • It is transactional replication.

    When i test publication with 1-10 articles, then after create publication (without subscriptions), log reader agent start populate tables [dbo].[MSrepl_commands] [dbo].[MSrepl_transactions] in distribution database.

    But when i create publication with ~5000 articles it does not :(. and sp_replcmds no return rows... and no errors in errorlog and log reader agent log....

    May be exists technical limitation on articles count per publication?

    (sory, my english ugly, i know...)

  • Have you checked the snapshot agent - maybe it has an error

  • thanx to all.

    i does not use snapshot agent. but use initialize subscription from backup option. after turn it on. all worked.
