Automatic Replication Restart

  • Does anyone know of a way to automatically restart replication, either to a subscriber or the log reader, when it fails? This is in regards to SQL Server 7.0.

  • You could create an alert that would run the job again. Or just have a job that checks every hour or so to start any replication job that is not running - have to be careful, sometimes you DONT want it to run!

  • The replication agent should be ran by a job. That job has a schedule.

    Right click the Job in EM and choose properties. Click the schedule tab and set the job schedule.

    I hope that helps.

    Good luck

  • Also the job generally has a retry number and retry interval by default they are 10 and 1 minute. This can be found in the job on the steps tab. The "run agent" task and the advanced tab on it's properties. If it fails to restart itself there may be some other problem.
