Validation / reconcilliation of replication

  • Hi everyone,

    We have set up Transactional Replication in our work environment (SQL Server 2014) and replicate data onto our system from 4 different sources.

    We would like to have a better grip on the replication process and would like a validation / recon job to run everyday and publish a report comparing source to destination rowcount and last updated datetime for the few tables we are interested.

    What is the best way to do this?

    1. Create an SSIS package to generate comparison data and store in a table?

    2. How about using Replication Stored Procedures like sp_articleview, sp_table_validation etc.? Would someone be able to help me understand how to use these if this is a good approach?

    Thanks for your time!

  • Please check this article from books online. As you've mentioned, you can certainly take either of the route, but my preferred way would be to use tablediff utiity.
