sql server replication: IIRC there are two possible causes of this

1) you have to rerun your snapshot
2) your publication is not configured for anonymous pull and you configured
your subscription to pull a named subscription, or vice versa.

Merge Pull Repl error: subscription expired.. Andreas Wolter
8/27/2004 12:45:45 PM
Hi

I've got a problem with the following setup:
I configured a SQL Server 2000 for Merge Replication
same server acts a distributor
set up a publication (whole database)
and now I want a client with a MSDE 2000 version running, to PULL -replicate

the initial snapshot is created
the connecting-server isin the list of the publisher

1) I added the subscription with the sp_addmergepullsubscription
procedure at the subscriber
2) I created the merge agent job with the
sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent procedure
3) then I start the job

and get the error:

"The subscription to publication 'name of subscription' has
expired or does not exist."
I don't see any typing mistakes, that would be my only imaginable reason


what did I forget to do?

I'd apprechiate any help

hey

thanx
well, I rerun the snapshot agent, but the error remains
my publication is not anonymous, but I do not connct anonymously - I
tried changing both sides, but ist does not matter, respectively I would
receive the expected error.. so that is not the problem... :-(

I've bumped into this problem many times, but I can't recall off the top of
my head what causes this problem.

Try to isolate it to the publication or the subcriber.

Can you perhaps pull a new subscription on to a new susbcription database on
the publisher? This will rule out the problem being localized to the
subscriber.

If this works, then try to pull to a new database on the subscriber. If this
works the problem is local to that susbcription database. If not, its local
to the subscriber.

Hello

thank you

I have found the problem

I needed to run the sp_addmergesubscription stored procedure to add the
subscription OF the MSDE-subscriber AT the Publisher

fact is, the official documents from MS don't mention this - but when I
tried a PULL-subscription from a real server (not MSDE) -just as you
said, but not from the punblisher itself - and created a script from
that, In found that procedure being run !

thanx a lot though, for you time

greetings from Germany
