Immediate Update Subscriber

  • I setup immediate update subscriber between a publisher and a subscriber. I can make changes fine to the publisher, but when a change the replicated data on the subscriber nothing happens. No error msg, no data change. Nothing! The one-way replication works great. What am a doing wrong?

  • Start by seeing if replication created triggers on the subscriber tables? Is DTC running?

  • DTC is running. I do not see any triggers on the tables that are part of the replication articles.

  • if you got your publication properties and check updatable tab does that say is immediate updating enabled.

  • Yes!

  • Are you trying to perform bi-directional replication?

  • if you go and check the subscription properties (job history) you might get some more information. are u using pull or push subscription.

    Yes!


  • I called Microsoft support and they recommended Merge Replication for bidirectional replication.

    Bidirectional Transaction Replication has a high probability of going on an infinite resonant loop.

    Make sure that you have set 'SA' accounts for the databases in question - and the accounts are the same in both Publisher and Distributor.

  • Setting immediate updating subscribers option on the publication doesn't make the subscribers updating by default. When you set up the subscriber, you must enable advanced options (check box on the first screen) and another form will appear when going through the wizard to select updating subscriptions, but it defaults to the non-updating option. Hope this helps.
