especially when the path indeed does exist and the replication agent process accounts have sufficient privileges to access the snapshot folder. The error occurs because when using pull subscriptions and/or a remote distributor you must specify a UNC network share such as \\

Due To Os Error 53
Sign in to vote I have set up Transactional Replication without updating Subscriptions. source mssql_repl error number mssql_repl20024 The Distribution database appears to be configured correctly (it resides on the same SQL Server instance as the Publication database). the process could not read file due to os error 21 The Publication database seems to work okay, as evidenced by: 1) the initial Snapshot seems to have been set up successfully; and 2) the log reader agent is running successfully. Where I have http://www.sqlrepl.com/sql-server/the-process-could-not-read-file-due-to-os-error-3/ the problem is on the Subscription side agent. It fails to complete giving an error message of: The process could not read file 'f:\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\ReplData\unc\PDAEGISDBDEVVM_NWSAEGISMSPDB_NWSAEGISMSPDB_PUB\20121008163528\ZetronUnitNumber_1465.pre' due to OS error 3. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL20024) I believe I know what the problem is, but I don't know how to fix it. I think the Subscription database is trying to access the file on a path that doesn't specify https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/2c78121f-85bc-4e14-a4f7-7f233215cfad/sql-server-transactional-replication-fails-os-error-3?forum=sqlreplication the Publication database. I specified that the repldata files would be stored on a locally attached disk with a path name of f:\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\ReplData. But I am not too sure about how to make this path name known to the Subscription server. I am performing a "pull" subscription.

It just needs to be shared. Right-click the folder -> Properties -> Sharing and share it. Also, you need to update the Distributor Properties Default Snapshot Folder to reflect the UNC network share. This is the requirement for pull subscriptions. Only give the Distribution Agent process account permission to the UNC share.Brandon Williams (blog | linkedin) Marked as answer by JimAzSQL2 Tuesday, October 09, 2012 8:52 PM Tuesday, October 09, 2012 8:37 PM Reply | Quote Moderator All replies 0 Sign in to vote Is this a pull subscription?

During the setup of Distribution, replace C:\ with the \\servername\directory(shared folder) and see if that helps you or not. Since this is a remote subscriber, your snapshot folder needs to be a UNC path/share .

are no database triggers as in merge to capture DDL changes, and no log reader agent unlike in transactional to capture these changes. So, there is no technology installed which can make this work. The only way of propagating a DDL change in snapshot replication is to reinitialize (or initialize although there is little difference in snapshot). In other words, setting this to true or to false doesn't make a jot of difference :). How can I get the names of my replication agents (after I have changed them frm the original names)? Sometimes you'll change the names of your agents. This might be to standardise them to follow your naming convention. Afterwards you'll still want to know which jobs belong to which publications though! Here is code to do this: select a.publication, b.name as CurrentJobName from distribution.dbo.MSdistribution_agents a inner join msdb.dbo.sysjobs b on a.job_id = b.job_id union select a.publication, b.name as CurrentJobName from distribution.dbo.MSlogreader_agents a inner join msdb.dbo.sysjobs b on a.job_id = b.job_id union select a.publication, b.name as CurrentJobName from distribution.dbo.MSsnapshot_agents a inner join msdb.dbo.sysjobs b on a.job_id = b.job_id Note that this'll return 'ALL' for the log reader's publicaiton as they don't really belong to a publication. Why doesn't logging to an output file work? First of all it does work! However you have to use the command-line method mentioned on the MS site. So, why do some people think it doesn't? That's because the replication agent profiles in SSMS also have the same output parameters listed but these will either not work or cause errors. I've done a partial screen-shot below. This is a merge agent but the same applies to others. I have populated values for the -OutputMessageFile and -Output parameters, but neither work. When I first looked at this in SSMS I was confused. (1) "OutputMessageFile" is not included in the list of parameters for the merge agent executable so I was unsure what it is for and how it differs from "Output" which is mentioned in the article link above. It doesn't produce a file so can be discarded. (2) "Output" is listed and is the one we use on the command-line, however through the SSMS GUI there is a call to sp_MSvalidate_agent_parameter Thi
