Replicating Data between SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005


Replicating Data between SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 Scott Hunley

sql server replication:
I am currently trying to implement a replication strategy between n-many SQL
Server 2000 databases, located on our hosting companies machine, and our
reporting/datawarehouse server, located here in the office. So, I have 2
versions of SQL, Connection over the internet and 2 different domains
(untrusted connection).

I have been able to replicate between SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2005
inside of my domain, including using FTP. However, whenever I try to pull in
a transactional replication from my 2000 server via the internet and FTP, I
am getting various errors. Has anyone done anything similiar to this? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

One last bit of information: Hosting machine runs with Windows 2000
Advanced Server, SQL Server 2000 SP3A and my machines are running Windows
2003 Server/XP Pro SP2 and SQL Server 2005.

Thanks in advance for any information you can give.

I just tried to run the process again, as a pull subscription on the SQL
Server 2005 database in my domain and I got the following error:

2005-11-30 17:37:02.699 Snapshot files will be downloaded via ftp
2005-11-30 17:37:02.799 Connecting to ftp site '28053-DB'
2005-11-30 17:37:04.342 Agent message code 20033. The process could not
retrieve file
'28053-DB_inventory_master_inventory_master_articles\20051130120007\Purchase_Order_Line_Items_1.sch' from the FTP site '28053-DB'.

This is better than previous attempts. At least it looks like it is trying
to download the files.

Any Ideas?


Thanks.

OK, ftp into your ftp server and look for
'/ftp/28053-DB_inventory_master_inventory_master_articles/20051130120007/Purchase_Order_Line_Items_1.sch

If it is there make sure your client path is /ftp.

If its not there be sure to configure your publication for ftp to dump to
the ftp root.

Hillary, I got the FTP issue resolved and replication is working correctly on
the Development box. The production box however, is giving an Error about
Heterogeneous Subscription or something...

Have you ever seen this error:

===================================
SQL Server could not create a subscription for Subscriber 'MY-SQLSERVER'.
(New Subscription Wizard)
===================================
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
Could not subscribe to publication 'inventory_master_articles' because
heterogeneous Subscriber 'MY-SQLSERVER' only supports the @sync_method
parameter value 'bcp character' .
Changed database context to 'inventory_master'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
------------------------------
For help, click:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=08.00.0818&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=14095&LinkId=20476
------------------------------
Server Name: ##.##.###.###,1433
Error Number: 14095
Severity: 16
State: 1
Procedure: sp_addsubscription
Line Number: 530
------------------------------

I used the scripts from the Development box to create the publications,
since the wizard kept failing. But the only difference between the two boxes
i can see is Microsoft CRM 3.0 is installed on the Production box.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks,

Scott
