snapshot rep.

  • I have SQL Server 2000 snapshot replication setup with one publisher, one distributor, and four subscribers.

    I want to replace one fo the subscribers with a new server. It will have the same network name, same IP......

    How do I enable replication on this new box?(make it a subscriber and subscribe to the publication)?

    (alot of details please)

  • Does this look right:

    1. On "new" Subscriber: restore a copy of the subscriber DB.

    2. On Distributor:

    Go to Replication, Publications...delete the subscription.

    3. On Distributor(Publisher database): run these...

    -- Adding the registered subscriber

    exec sp_addsubscriber @subscriber = ...............

    -- Adding the snapshot subscription

    exec sp_addsubscription @publication = , @subscriber = ..........

    will that work?

    anything else?

  • In my experience I usually just drop the subscription and recreate it in EM. But then, I'm lazy when it comes to the Snapshot replication.

    Or you can use EM to script out the snapshot and then run the script on the appropriate server when you need to.
