I'm working with a client on a problem where they setup transactional
replication publications, push out a subscription, the snap shots are
created, the data is initially pushed out to the subscriber but no Logreader
agent is created - So no transactional replication occurs.
The Sql server, agent, and application and system logs show no errors.
If I script out the replication the sp_addpublication is being called
without the @.logreader_job_name parameter. I could try installing the agent
manually using logread.exe but I want to understand why the agent is not
being created the way it normally should.
Any help would be appreciated,
J
can you script out your publication and post it here.
Also sometimes the agent folders get a little scrambled and the agents don't
show up there. Could you perhaps check to see if there aren't any logreader
processes showing up in task manger, or check to see if you can create
another transactional publication in a different database. Make sure you use
a unique name for the publication.

|||Thank's for the response,
Attached is the replication script with the beginning part that sets up the
distributor and the setup for one of the publications that is failing to
create a Log Reader agent.
As you can see the logreader_job_name parameter is absent. Also I checked in
the server and the logread.exe executable is there in its proper place.
The server is running Sql Server 2000 Standard SP3 on Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 Standard, replicating to a server with the same configuraton
(except 2500 miles away).
This same replication worked just fine on previous servers that the
application was migrated from: Sql Server 7.0 on Windows 2000 Server
Advanced (clustered).

|||You are using Updateable Subscriptions with Queued Updating.
the log reader agent name should (but doesn't have to be blank). Any value
you put in here will be ignored.
I just want to confirm that the log reader agent is not showing up in the
publisher. It should not show up on the subscriber.
Also can you check your jobs folder (under the management folder) to see if
a log reader agent/job is not created for this job,
Sometimes the agents will not show up in the replication agents folder but
are actually there, and you can only see them in the jobs folder. When this
happens it is difficult to administer your agents, but you will have a
working solution.

|||That's what I feared. There is definitely something wrong with the way
replication was installed on this box. Unfortunately I was not the one who
installed Sql Server and replication. I was called in after the fact when it
looked like replication was not working. It may be an issue of permissions
and rights during the setup of replication on the server, as this company
does not want to give the Sql Server DBAs admin rights to their servers.
Thanks for all your help!

|||I don't think it is a problem with the way the previous dba installed
replication, rather there is something wrong with the SQL Server
environment; ie missing stored procedures, or an inconsistent application of
SP 3. I suggest you reapply SP 3 and try again.
