Transaction Replication Woes

  • I've been trying to implement SQL Server 2000 Transactional Replication between 2 servers within our environment.

    Both of these servers have the exact same SQLServerVersion/Service Pack combinations.

    I've made sure that both servers have the named database on them (in this case ssurgo).

    I've made sure that the logins/users/roles/permissions for the database on both servers are the same.

    I configure one machine NCGCCERT01 as the distributor and publisher.  No Problem

    I then create the publication with articles from the ssurgo database.  Problem

    This is when the 'red x' icon shows up in the replication tree of the distributor.

    Adding a push subscription doesn't change this.

    A copy and paste of the error is below...

    Does anyone have any feedback on the most likely source of this error ? Apart from installing SPA3 (already done)

     

     

    Event Type: Error

    Event Source: SQLSERVERAGENT

    Event Category: Job Engine

    Event ID: 203

    Date: 9/12/2005

    User: N/A

    Computer: NGCGCERT01

    Description: Subsystem Message - Job 'NCGCCERT01-ssurgo-ssurgo-1' (0XB0047NF9876E3F32A96187124C6B4477), step 2 - The replication agent is not

    registered properly. Rerun SQL Server setup.

     

  • Is the SQL Agent Service using a Domain Account to start it? If not you will not be able to configure Replication.


    Kindest Regards,

  • Thanks for your reply.

    I found the following article and sure enough this was the issue.

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;811008

    Some sort of dll registry error had occured in the installation of that server

    (it had not been used for replication before this week)

    Thanks.
