Can there be more than one subscription for a database in Transactional Replication

  • Hello every one,

    Im trying to create a publication on SQL 2000 server and error 8526 is reported. I have set the trace flag (-T8599) and still error seems to be occuring. Can any suggest anything?

  • Hi,

    Finally, I have decided to work on another SQL 2000 server and created 2 transactional updatable publication and created subscription on my SQL 2005 server on same database for two different table and Viola!!! it worked. This draws the conclusion that there is some connectivity or testing issue with my test server..

    (To perform this test, I have created test table in live server and copied live data ).

    At back of my head I need to solve the prioblem with my test server....

  • I think I might suggest removing replication from the 2000 test server and then resetting it up again. I have seen it flaky at times, and once it's off, it's hard to fix. Easier to remove and rebuild.

    Agreed. I would actually make sure that the database is removed from being a publisher and then go through the replication tables on the subscriber and make sure all that is cleaned up as well.

  • Steve/David,

    Cheers

  • Hi,

    I followed this post http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324401 and did remove all publication,Subscription and Distributor. Configured SQL 2005 as Distributor/Subscriber and SQL 2000 (test server) as Publisher still getting error 8526.

    I will reinstall SP4 and see if that works.

    Cheers

  • Sorry to be a pain here but can you provide a simple overview again of what your layout is like? Something like the following;

    Server1 - Publisher - Version

    Server2 - Distributor - Version

    Server3 - Subscriber - Version

    I need a better mental picture. 😉

  • Hi David,

    Please find the present topology below

    Server1 - Publisher - SQL 2000 - SP4 (Test Server/Live server)

    Server2 -Distributor - SQL 2005 - (cannot remember sp) DEV server

    Server3 - Subscriber - SQL2005 - DEv Server (Distributor and Subscriber are same server).

    Dev server is running on new data model and needed data to be synchronized. I was experimenting with Transactional Repication for this purpose. Bit struggling with test server but live server connection is fine. Have to do some thing with test server testing.
