problems with merge replication and server subcriber

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a replication topologie with a publisher, a server
subscriber (push-subcription) and a client subscriber (pull-subcription).
First I setup the publication and a push-subscription for the server
subcriber.
This replication works fine. Data and schema changes are replicated and I
can apply new snapshots to the subscriber any time.
Just at the moment, when I define the (re)publication on the server
subscriber every attempt to apply a new snapshot to the Server subscriber,
the merge-agent fails with the error :
Source: Merge replication provider
Number: -2147200965
Message: The merge agent fails to cleanup the subscription for
'GO-ON-DC1\SQL2005ONDC':'TestReplikation:'TestPublikation '
Category:SQLSERVER
Source: ZANDER\GOONDEV2005
Number: 245
Message: Error converting the nvarchar-Value
'MSmerge_view_logical_record_11282001' to int-Datatype.
Above message is not literal, I translated it form german, but I hope it
will help any way. By the way, sorry for my english ;-[
I hope any one can help me, i have no idee whats going wrong.
Regards
Jan
This looks like a bug. Can we get your publication script and table schema
to see if we can repro it?

|||Jan,
this entry from Raymond Mak looks as though it could be related :
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=55550&SiteID=1
although it applies to a different merge view. Apart from that, I agree with
Hilary - let's see if we can repro.
Cheers,

|||Hi Hilary, hi Paul,
thanks for your immediate response.
I am new to the newsgroup. Do I have a posibility to upload files, except of
pasting it into this message?
I stored the scripts on http://www.go-on-software.de/replication/ .
Thre are 4 scripts:
1-Create-Tables-On-Publisher.sql
2-Setup-Publisher.sql
3-Create-DB-on-ServerSub.sql
4-Setup-Re-Publication-on-ServerSub.sql
the first two scrpts are executed at the publisher
the 3rd script is executed at the server subscriber
after the snapshot-agent and the merge-agent finshed
the 4th script re-publish the new database
At this time I haven't added any client subscriber.
To get the Error I create a new Snapshot (on the publisher) and mark the
server subsriber for reinitialisation. After this the merge-agent fails with
the described error message.
Thanks and
Kindest Regards
Jan

|||Hi Jan - I click on the hyperlinks but there isn't a file behind it.

|||Hi Paul,
sorry... my web server doesn't support files with .SQL extensions.
I renamed all to ".txt" and added an zip-file including the 4 scripts.
This time I tested it on stage.

|||Hi Paul,
have you got the scripts now? (from http://www.go-on-software.de/replication/)
and
have you found time to run the script and could you repro the error?
I would be happy about any feedback.
Kindest Regards
Jan
|||Jan - it is taking me too long to reformat to get the scripts to work
Pls can you post them up in formatted form?
Rgds,
Paul Ibison
|||Hi Paul, I am ashamed, sorry once again.
I now converted the files to ANSI, so the will be displayed in the browser
with CR.
Alternatively you can download the zip-file, which includes the 4 scripts.
Redards Jan
|||Jan,
I now have it set up and working fine. Did you have a problem with the
original setup or was there a subsequent problem caused by a change made?
It may or may not be relevant, but I probably can't mimic your environment
exactly as I am using no sp1 or sp2 at the moment - our servers have just
been rebuilt and will have the sps applied later on this month.
Rgds,
Paul Ibison
