Loss of data due to conflict

hi all,
i installed merge replication successfully,after that i tried to add a row from publisher with id 2004 (it is primary key and autogenerated column)and different other columns,same like that i inserted a row from subscriber with id as 2004 and different ot
her column.when i observed after merge agent is successfull only one row is replicated the other row is failed to replicate due to conflict.this causing loss of data.please advise what i have to do to get data from both sides.
thanks®ards,
reddy
Reddy,
with merge, if you have identity columns as the PK, you need to partition
according to publisher and subscriber ie each uses its own range. Before
initialization, the publisher PK is set to be "Identity Yes (Not for
Replication)" and SQL Server will manage the seeds on publisher and
subscriber and you can define when a new seed is allocated. In your case
this doesn't seem to be happening, presumably because it is a manual setup?
If this is so, you'll need to partition the identity values yourself. Here
is an article which should help you:

|||paul,
thank you very much for your information.
but if i set different ranges both on publisher and subscriber the sequence will be broken.is there anyother way you would like to suggest.
thanks®ards

|||In merge. there is no other way to partition on one single PK-identity column and avoid identity conflicts, as this would mean the subscriber needs to be in contact at all times with the publisher (zero autonomy). This is possible in transactional with im
mediate updating subscribers, as the publisher itself controlls all identity values, even those on the subscriber.
As an alternative, you could make your PK 2 columns with one of them as the Site Identifier, while the other is an identity column. In this way duplicate identity values could be added and this wouldn't result in a conflict.

|||paul,
thank you very much for your information.i go for second option that is pk 2 columns with one of them as site identifier.
i think it will works fine for my requirement.

Looking for information regading merge replication with sql 2000 and msde 2000

Hi
we are using merge replication with anonymous subscription.
- Window 2000 and sql 2000 server (publisher and distributor)
- MSDE 2000 subscriber.
- using Active X-Control for subscription
-I have put subscriber never expire option in the property of
publisher.
Replication running without any problem in normal case but we received
some problem on the following scenario:
-I set up the subscriber call "TEST01" and synchronize it it run
without any problem. Because of some other reasons I need to change
the name of the computer, after that when I synchronize it does not
work, even if I change back the computer name to the original name it
stop working how can I fix this problem.
-If I want to delete the subscription total and generate the new one
how can I do this. I try to delete the subscription from the
publisher, distributor and delete the subscriber database for the
subscriber and create new database in subscriber, and click
synchronize, it still doesn't work- how can I solve this problem.
-What is different way of deleting the subscription if they are never
expiring in the publication property?
-Actually I try to do all of these above steps in our test
environment, it still give different error message.
-"The merge process could not able to drop the pull subscription form
"sesc-07" (which is server).
-"The remote server is not defined as a subscriber". I change and make
it as subscriber also but still same message.
- "The merge process could not update the last sent generation"
I will be greatful for the information.
Thanks in advance.
Indra.
can any subscriber pull the subscription from the publisher?
What server name did you change? the publisher or the subscriber?
Can you issue this query on the subscriber
select @.@.servername
master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'hostname'
master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'echo %computername%'
and post the results back here?

All the subscriber runing fine except those whoes computer name

Our subscriber is runing on MSDE 2000, so how can i run that sql script
on MSDE?.

master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'hostname'
master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'echo %computername%'
CAN I RUN THIS ON PUBLISHER.
none of the subscriber are register on server becuase i am usign
anonymous subscribtion.
Thanks.
Indra.
