merge replication problem ; very urgent
We have a publisher and 2 subsribers. The subscribers are spanning 2 transactions/sec. We have inplemented merge replication and it was scheduled to occur every 5 min. When we start the replication, the replications is going on without any problem for sometime(may be some hours), but after that it failes with the message, "the process could not deliver inserts at the publisher". We have SAN. When I searched for this error in google, it asked me to increase the queytimeout value in agent profile. So I increased it from 300 to 600, but in vain. If anybosy could help me in this, that would be great.
Thanks,
Preethi.
sql 2000.
we have 4 merge agents running thats it.
i took an error log with the high verbosity level.
In job history, the error is "remote procedure call failed and it didn't execute".
In the log that I took, the above error message i gave occured. Actually when we started replication fresh, it ran for 4 days for transaction rate 75K/hr. Now even with 12K/hr it is failing in 3 min.
Regarding error i will post it.
Are you using any agent profile to run the merges?
When you changed the Timeout value, where did you change it?
Try increasing the timeout and logintimeout values. Set -QueryTImeout 1000 -LoginTimeout 1000 and see if it helps.
Another thing you could try is setting the -UploadGenerationsPerBatch and -DownloadGenerationsPerBatch to a low value say 25 and run the merge agent.
