Identity column issues in merge/transactional environment

  • Hi All,

    My current environment has recently changed from a 2 server, transactionally replicated setup (server A is the transactional application server, server B was a subscriber used for reporting purposes only).

    Recently a new web server has been put in place and this required a merge replication setup, and with it the introduction of identity range management. I now cannot use the tables in the transactional publication that have the columns with the identity range management on them. I get the error message "Automatic identity range support is useful only for publications that allow updating subscribers.

    Changed database context to . (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 21231)".

    I thought the easiest way would just be to drop the transactional publication and add the report server as a subscriber to the merge publication, however i cant do this as its sql 2008 and the publication is 2005. For completeness the web server is also sql 2005.

    Can anyone help me out on how i can get the replication back up and running the report server?

    Thanks in advance

    John

  • I "think" ive managed to sort it by dropping the merge replication and using transactional with updatable subscribers.
