sql server replication
group:Merge replication problem
sql server replication:
To troubleshoot, you may want to try using IE instead of ftp.exe from your subscriber machine and see if you get the same error accessing snapshot.cab from the indicated location. Is there a firewall setup between the ftp server and the subscriber machine by any chance?

Hi Mak,
If you just want to get around the problem for now, you can download the cab file to <local directory>\ftp\TEST_TestReplPub_MakPC\20031009172833\snapshot.cab and then run replmerg.exe with the addition of the -AltSnapshotFolder <local directory> parameter. That said, I am still puzzled as to why you are hitting the error and would like to at least try getting to the bottom of it. Can you try downloading the file from IE as well? The FTP server log may also provide some clue as to what may be happening. You may also want to try setting up a subscription on a different machine and see if the problem is specific to your machine or your network connection.

I can't make my merge replication work. Please help.
My setup: Win2k Advance Server with SQL2K as Publisher and distributor. Desktop PC running Win2K pro with MSDE as subscriber. I am using pull subscribtion. after I click start synchronizing, i noticed following error in the job history: Category:NULL Source: Merge Replication Provider Number: -2147201001 Message: The schema script '' could not be propagated to the subscriber. Category:AGENT Source: MAK-WS Number: 0 Message: The process could not retrieve file 'TEST_TestReplPub_MakPC\20031009172833\snapshot.cab' from the FTP site 'TEST'. Category:OS Source: Number: 12003 Message: 200 Type set to I. 200 PORT command successful. 501 Illegal character in argument 501 Illegal character in argument the snapshot file is compressed and created successfully in default snapshot folder and my FTP folder (i used FTP for access the snapshot file). The ftp login is tested working in my Win2k pro. What is the problem with my merge replication? please advice. Thanks in advance. Mak
thanks raymond. I have tested with IE, my FTP has no problem, I can access
the folder and the snapshot.cab file with IE. We don't have firewall setup between the FTP server and my subscriber PC. I am still have no clue what went wrong.

review your ftp logs. if you have 550 codes after the last ftp entry it
means your subscriber could not find the file in your ftp server. You need to review where you are parking your snapshot.

I don't know how you are trying to pull the subscription down but I had
a similar problem in VB6. I had to add SQLMerge.FileTransferType = FILETRANSFERFTP. Without that line of code your PC will try to use the UNC. *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
