Confused... -- Pull agent not started

  • Hi... I need some help with my mess...

    I have a pull agent with a status of "Never started" as shown from the database, but "Replication Monitor" show it as "running".  The replication seems to be working.    And "yes", I have done a "refresh". 

    The job history from the agent shows  many enties as

    Step ID Step Name  Run AT                Results  Notification  

    " 1         Run agent. 5/5/2003 5:25 AM  In Progress ...."

    All at the same time...

    Can someone provide some insight?

     

     

  • You can try running the distribution agent job at the subscriber. With pull subscription, the agent actually runs at the subscriber.

    EM in distributor (Replication Monitor) isn't 100% accurate. But running the agent manually should refresh the right status.

    You can also try running the agent from your machine with the distrib.exe program.

    Check in BOL for "Distribution Agent, starting" for parameters.
