Transactional Replication fallback

  • I have transactional replication setup between PrimarySvr and StandbySvr. Would appreciate your responses on:

    - If PrimarySvr goes down, can I just point users to StandbySvr.

    - When PrimarySvr comes up (say after 24 hours) how do I synch PrimarySvr and restart replication from PrimarySvr to StandbySvr?

    Thanks

  • the best way to do this is either by using bi-directional transactional replication or merge replication. To start for bi-directional transactional replication you will need to restore the publication database on the subscriber. Make sure you make all triggers, constraints, identity columns not for replication.

  • I'll go for merge in this case!
