Remote Dist - Snpsht / Trans Replication Fails to Create Mark Harris

sql server replication: Hi All

I'm currently "Proof of Concept"ing our new server architecture, which is
going to contain a Master SQL Server with a Remote Distributor. After
ploughing through the initial permission probs, i've hit another problem that
i dont know how to get around.

If i try to create a Publication that is either Snapshot or Transaction,
Enterprise Manager comes up with :

" ... Could not create publication ...
Error 14294 : Supply either @jobID or @JobName to Identify the job"

.... which i'm finding a little strange as nowhere on the Wizard has it asked
me anything about jobs!? lol

The same thing does NOT occur if i setup a Merge Publication ... and this is
created correctly with both Publisher and Remote Distributor being perfectly
happy!

As mentioned, i'm just proving things out at the minute so this isn't
desperately urgent ... but i will be needing the capability to create any
type of Publication that will use the Remote Distributor ... so all help
appreciated!

Cheers

There have been reports of this error being caused by previous publications
not being cleaned up correctly.

The best way to fix this is to disable publisher and replication on the
publisher and try to reenable it.

Also what does select @@servername return?

you'll have to clarify a little ... "previous publications" of what?? from
the same database, ANY other database??

and which server am i running "select @@servername" against... baring in
mind that the whole point is that i'm testing Remote distribution and
therefore have two of the little devils ... and why is this relevant??

Has anyone created any previous publications on the publisher or
distributor?

Issue the Select @@servername query on the publisher and distributor.

You might also want to query on 14294 in this newsgroup to get reports on
other users who have encountered this error and how they solved it.
