Snapshot Replication

  • I am setting a snapshot replication between two SQL

    servers, both are Win2000 service with service pack 3 and

    SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition with service pack 2.

    PUSH subscription SUCCESSFUL, but PULL subscription FAIL

    as the following:

    Publisher and Distributor are both in Server 1. Snapshot

    Successful.

    Subscriber in Server 2. It fails with:

    Error Message:

    The process could not read file '\\DBSQL\...\TBL.sch' due

    to OS error 5.

    Error Details:

    Access is denied (Source: (OS); Error number: 5).

    I am using the default path for replication or special

    another path. And it is already sharing

    with "\\DBSQL\SHARING", share to everyone with Full

    Control. So, I don't know why is it still Access is denied.

    But in window explorer, I can see the '\\DBSQL\SHARING',

    but need to type Administrator password at the first time

    with connection.

    Please help.

  • What are the disk permissions (not the share permissions)?

  • I tried other solution and it worked properly. Basically, our suscribers are downloading the snapshot folder using FTP and also configured the snapshot folder location on the publisher. To reach it, I installed IIS on Windows 200 in each suscriber.

    RESPONSE:

    The disk permissions are:

    everyone (FULL CONTROL). Our computers are in a WORKGROUP and not in a DOMAIN.

    Each sql server agent start with the account .\Administrator.


  • If your server is in a domain so:

    1-Your SQL Server Services at subscriber server must be run with your domain user account.

    2-Make new snapshot share folder on publisher

    3-Select this new folder for snapshot files.

    3-Remove everyone and add your domain user account to this share folder security .
