Renaming Subscriber Database

  • I have setup transactional replication. Now I want to rename the Subscriber database without breaking replication.

    Here is what I did so far

    1. Stopped Distribution Agent

    2. Renamed the Subscriber Database

    3. Changed the SubscriberDB parameter to the new database name in the distribution job.

    4. Changed the Subscriber_db in the MSsubscriptions and MS_DistributionAgents tables on the distribution database

    5. restarted distribtuion.

    The distribution started successfully, but no transactions are going through.

    Are there more system areas that need to be changed?

  • This was removed by the editor as SPAM

  • There's also the syssubscriptions table in the publication database that references the subscription database name.  Trying to change things this way sounds frought with problems. i think you'd be better off deleting the subscription, renaming the DB, then creating a new subscription.

  • Are you sure your Log Reader Agent start?
