Hilary...Please provide an example

Please give me more details on what you are saying to do, I'm just not following how I can accomplish this.
Both servers already have this db, the one in the domain is pushing to the db on the DMZ, and now I need to pull 2 tables from this same db from the db on the DMZ.
I am trying to accomplish this with a Anonymous Pull Subscription, but I don't know how to set it up for no sync.

Jude, to make life simple for your self is there anyway you can restore the publishing database to the subscriber and do a no-sync?
This will make life much easier for you.

|||Use my email address - but here is the doc I put together.
The requirement is that DATABASE be replicated bi-directionally internally
and externally. There are several options to do this, bi-directional
transactional replication was chosen as it does not modify the schema. Merge
replication, and updateable subscribers all modify the schema with the
addition of a GUID column.
To get around the firewall problem the internal database will replicate to
the external database, and the external database changes will be pulled
internally. The internal server will be configured as an anonymous
subscriber of the external server's publication as a named subscriber will
not work.
Steps required configure replication.
1) connect to the production database, right click on each of the
production tables and set the identity attribute to be not for replication.
Configure the increment to be 2. You will need to modify the following
tables.
TableName1WithIdentityColumn
TableName2WithIdentityColumn
TableName3WithIdentityColumn
TableName4WithIdentityColumn
The best/only way to configure these tables is to right click on them in
Enterprise Manager and set the identity property accordingly. Figure 1 is a
correctly configured table.
2) After all of the tables have been configured, back up the database,
and restore it on the subscriber. Ensure that no users are accessing the
database at this time.
3) Once the database has been restored create the publication on the
Publisher and the Subscriber. Use the attached script for this, editing for
the correct server and database names. - this script is a publication where
the name conflicts section is keep existing table intact, and its a nosync
subscription.
4) Once you have done this you need to run the same script in your
external server. Make sure you have configured your subscriber using its
NetBIOS name in Client Network Utility. A Fully Qualified Domain Name will
not work; it must be a NetBIOS name. Please refer to Figure 2 for an
example.
5) Once you have configured replication, deploy the replication stored
procedures on both sides. Please refer to the attached script to do this.
(this script was generated by running sp_scriptpublicationcustomprocs
6) Once the replication stored procedures are in place you have to
reset the identity seed on both sides. We will assign even numbers to the
internal server, and external numbers to the external server.
7) To do this issue the following commands. Note that TableName5 is the
only table which has to be fixed, and the fix is illustrated in red:
dbcc checkident('TableName5')
--Checking identity information: current identity value '8854', current
column value '8854'.
--DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your
system administrator.
--ok as the number is even
dbcc checkident('TableName5')
--Checking identity information: current identity value '448', current
column value '448'.
--DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your
system administrator.
--ok as the number is even
dbcc checkident('TableName6)
--Checking identity information: current identity value '19', current column
value '19'.
--DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your
system administrator.
--not ok as the number is odd
--incrementing it up to the nearest even number
dbcc checkident('TableName7', reseed,20)
--Checking identity information: current identity value '19', current column
value '20'.
--DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your
system administrator.
--now correct
dbcc checkident('TableName8')
--Checking identity information: current identity value '32', current column
value '32'.
--DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your
system administrator.
--ok as the number is even
8) Repeat for the Subscriber (external server). This time all the
identity values should be reseeded to the next highest odd number.
9) Schedule the distribution agents to start every 5 minutes - this
will guarantee an restart in the event of failure.

Highest week of sales/usage

I'm working with Crystal Reports 10 with a Sql Server 2000 database. I've got a table which stores the details of items including the saletimes (a date/time field). I need to calculate the sales figure for the highest week of sales. In other words I need to find out what the highest amount of sales recorded in any given week. How can I do this?Quickest way would be to create a group based on date, and in the group options select "for each week" as the required grouping.
Create Sum(sigma sysmbol) fields for the data.
Suppress your details section.
In the group footer you will have Totals based on weekly aggregates.
In the Report menu, select TopN/Sort Group Expert.
Select the Tab for your weekly group (if you have more than one group that is).
In"for This Group Sort" change All to TopN.
Enter 1 in the "Where N is" field.
Remove the tick from the "Show others" checkbox.
OK that dialog.
Run you report. Should see only highest weeks.
May want to format the Date Field in your group to show start end end date of the week that finished top........

Hope this helps

dave|||re above - this is all client-side in Crystal.
would be quicker if could achieve it in SQL on server-side, but above solution is quick-ish, because Crystal's query to SQL Server will include an SQL-compliant "TopN" modifier.

High CPU utilization on distributor and sp_MSget_repl_commands

Hi,

In SQL 2005 Replication Monitor i was not seeing details for any of the publications on the "Distributor to Subscriber Histroy Tab" so i decided to stop and start synchronisation on this one publication. At this time there were approximayely 20000 undistributed commands. After the stop/start of the distribution agent, i started seeing messages like "x trasactions with x commands were delivered". Then i went and restarted all the other distribution agents using the Replication Monitor.

Has anyone experienced this kind of a behaviour?

The second issue is that our trasnactional replication looked to have caught up but i was supprised find that the distribution server was running at 100%. A profiler trace of the distribution database revealed that sp_MSget_repl_commands procedure was being executed and costing approximately in excess of 400 000 reads, 7000 in CPU cost and 15sec in duration. To me it looked as if sp_MSget_repl_commands has chosen an inefficient execution plan but then realised i couldn't recompile system procedures. I think a stop and start of the SQL instance is the only option i have.

PK

You can't recompile the proc itself, but you can force a recompile by updating the stats on the table. This should in theory trigger a recompile for the proc, and I'm sure it applies to procs in the resource db as well, but don't quote me on it.

Do you know if it was the replication monitor or the distribution agent that was making the proc call you were profiling? In pre-RTM days, there was a performance bug for the call made by the replication monitor, making it very expensive. I assume you're on RTM version of SQL 2005?

Without knowing what the plan looks like for the queries inside the proc, it's hard to say what the problem is.

Hierarchal data reports

I have set up a hierarchal report, which is based on one data set using a table and grouping. I have a group header, a details, and a group footer section in the table. The details is filtered based on one of the columns, and hidden with the ability for the user to expand and collapse the row based on one of the fields in the group header. My problem is, I am trying to set up a report which gets scheduled to run weekly, and emailed out to its users, in PDF format. The PDF format will not allow the user to expand and collapse the rows. I would just send the users a link to the report, and the can expand / collapse the rows they want to see, if they didn't mind having to be connected to set up their report, and having the extra step of exporting to PDF.

Is there a way to export to Excel and have the expanders still be there?

In the mean time, I have set up the report to always show the details rows, but since I am filtering out based on a certain criteria, the rows that do not have any data, show a blank line, which gives the report a confusing look. The empty rows never showed up when I have drill-down enabled, because if it was hidden, and no data, there is no way to expand the hidden row.

Any suggestions on what I can do will be VERY helpful. Thanks!

Brandon.

hi,

Try using MS reporting services

Follow this link: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/asif.blog/RecursiveData06132006230750PM/RecursiveData.aspx?ArticleID=fdc78120-bf77-4fb2-9dc5-bb84d734c792

I am using MS Reporting services. Why would I be posting to this forum if I were not? Did you even read my question/problem?

My problem is that I can get drill-down working, but it shows a space if I show all the rows because I have a filter which takes out rows which do not meet requirements. Or, I need a report that can be sent through RS scheduler via email and act as an offline report with drill-down abilities.

Thank you.

|||

Oh, did you mean report viewer?

If so, I am sorry. I will look into report viewer. I must have completely misunderstood your response...

Brandon.

|||Are you actually filtering out the groups or the rows? Filtering groups should contract the space for missing rows.|||

Well, I tried filtering on the row at first, the details row.. It would not keep my filter options for whatever reason. I would hit OK, then go back to filters on that row, and it would be gone. So, I changed the details row to a group row, and applied the filter, which filters out, but still shows a space. I did not mention above, but I guess I am using two grouppings, one for the header row, the other for the details, which I am filtering out data.

I am now probably confusing the problem, but now I am trying to allow visibility on the row based on its cell property in one of the text boxes but I can not figure out how to pull the data from the table, for each row. I just need to look up how to reference the text box inside a table, and hope it will calculate based on that text box, for each row in the table.

Thanks

hiding repeated data

please i would like to know if there is a way to hide repeated data(fields) in the details section.
like below:

before hiding:
1 xyz 569869
1 xyz 536214
2 aaa 236569
2 aaa 214521
3 tt1 854785

after hiding:
1 xyz 569869
536214
2 aaa 236569
214521
3 tt1 854785

thank you for any suggestion.click format field and check surpress if duplicated

Hiding duplicates in a details row and hiding the row when it's em

I have a report that is using the drill down feature. So i have 2 detail
rows. The first row is field labels for the 2nd details row. What i would
like to do is only show the first details row once. I know i can set the
properties for each field to hide duplicates but then i'm still stuck with it
showing the blank row. So if i could find a way to suppress the first row
when it's blank that would be good or find a way to only print the first
details row once.well i answered my own question. i moved the field labels to the bottom of
the last grouping before the details, made sure all of the textbox fields
were marked hide duplicates, set the row height to 0, set visibility for the
row to true, and set the toggle setting to be the same as the detail toggle
setting.
