Multi-Role Server

  • Hi, I get this:

    Exec sp_adddistributor @distributor = N'Server-C'

    Server: Msg 14099, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_adddistributor, Line 72

    The server 'repl_distributor' is already defined as a Distributor.

    I ran the above on Server-B and got the error. It ran fine on Server-C. Here's my setup:

    Server-A = Publisher of Database-X

    Server-B = Pull subscriber to Database-X on Server-A

    Server-B = Distributor

    Now I want Server-B to become a publisher of Database-Y and I want Server-C to be the distributor. But the error seems to be telling me that I have to use Server-B as the distributor.

    Am I doing something wrong or is this just how it is?

  • This was removed by the editor as SPAM

  • Assuming you meant:

    Server-A = Publisher of Database-X

    Server-B = Pull subscriber to Database-X on Server-A

    Server-C = Distributor

    The distributor database is already created and the server is already flagged as a distributor as database X uses server C as the distributor.

    What you should look at, is the way to have your publication of database Y use the Server C as it's distributor.

    Please open op BOL (SQL Books Online) and read the explanation of the sp_adddistpublisher procedure


    Kindest Regards,
