HELP - MERGE AGENT ERROR

  • I am attempting to set up a new server and everything has gone pretty well thus far except for one thing.  One of our databases is 5 Gig and it takes to long to post a snapshot the traditional way.  I have tried many ways of zipping the data and restoring the DB from backup and the like.  Everytime I try to create the subscription I say that the data and schema are already out there.  Therefore it should not have to post a snapshot.  However, when it runs for the first time it tries to post the snapshot.  Can anyone please provide me with help ASAP.  I need to release this server on saturday and am running out of time.  Thanks

  • What do you mean "when it runs for the first time"?

    If you have set it up to NOT perform a Snapshot, then it shouldn't be doing it!


    Kindest Regards,

  • I agree.  I think we had a few corrupt rows in our distribution database.  I finally got it to work at 4:00 AM.  Thanks
