Trans Repl fails on subscriber

  • Hi

    I have a transactional replication set up between two SQL2k servers on Win2K. the distributor and publisher is in a domain. The subsriber is a standalone server (not part of a domain). The replication is set up with updates on subscriber.

    When I try to update subscriber tables I get following error

    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login Failed for user 'sa'

    Replication/updates from publisher work fine.

    Both servers have the same Pwd for 'sa' Both agents are set up to use sa account

    I can link from subscriber to publisher using sa account.

    Anyone has an idea what is the problem?

    I get 'Login Failed for user 'sa'' even if the replication and agents are set to run under a different user.

    where is the sa account comming into play?

    Thanks

  • I think its via linked server, maybe its configured wrong?

  • The linked server works fine on Publisher.

    There is no linked server set up on subscriber. Does there need to be one for replication?

    there is nothing in any of the logs about this, except that xprepl.dll being used

    any help would be appreciated. I need to get this on-line

    Thanks

  • I found my answer, where else but in BOL

    Posting here so others can benefit

    BOL:

    When setting up a push subscription using the Push Subscription Wizard in SQL Server Enterprise Manager or the sp_addsubscription stored procedure, the default configuration uses dynamic RPC at the Subscriber. The dynamic RPC defaults to using the sa login with no password . This is done to avoid sending logins or passwords over the network, and can be changed at the Subscriber using sp_link_publication.

    Use sp_helpsubscription_properties to view the values for the above sp.

    there it is, works like charm

    Thanks to everyone

    Jakub
