sql server replication:

Hi,
The snapshot agent is failing with the following message.
The MDAC version that i can see is 2.71.XXXX. Rightnow, i
am having all the publisher/distributor/subscriber on the
same server.
Can somebody help?

Error:
The process could not bulk copy out of table '[XXXX].
[XXXXXXXXXXX]'.
I/O error while writing BCP data-file

Thanks

an IO error while writing the bcp files sounds like something wrong with the
underlying disk subsystem.

Can you try to copy a large file to the c drive and see what happens?
Either that or run a checkdisk.

Do you have significant free space on this drive?

SVur,
this usually means the snapshot agent was timed out, blocked, or somehow
deadlocked.
Try stopping and restarting the snapshot agent. If you are dealing with a
large table, you may need to manually transfer it to the subscriber - there
are cases where the size of the table becomes nearly impossible to get a
snapshot to complete.

Paul Ibison
