Replication target and white space

Post by michel.weber »

We have been trying to find out why a particular replication did not work.

After scratching our heads for a couple of days, it turns out that replication does not like white space at the end of replication targets.

ie.: "http://search/texis/dowalk/" does work, but
"http://search/texis/dowalk/ " does not, and gives a list of obscure error messages :

000 2010-03-16 17:57:31 [dowalk]:23769: Connection to host "www.w3.org" failed for http URL "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd": [^] No error in the function http_open
000 2010-03-16 17:57:31 [dowalk]:23769: XML parsing error reported at byte offset 110
000 2010-03-16 17:58:32 [dowalk]:23769: XML parsing error reported at byte offset 345
000 2010-03-16 17:58:32 [dowalk]:23769: XML parsing error reported at byte offset 353
100 2010-03-16 17:58:32 [dowalk]:23938: Server error: http://search.coe.int/texis/dowalk/%20/replrecv.txt [^] returned code 500 (Vortex Error)

It took some time before i spotted the '%20' in one of the messages.

My problem now is that i have a replication queue with over 150 000 items which i can not re-index in the next couple of weeks.

going in with tsql and strip the white space from the end of the 'DestMachine' field does not seem to work.

What can i do to get the replication restarted, without reindexing?

Ok

I forgot to change the replication target in the profile itself.

Will this work?

It should. The table and profile should match, as the sender will loop over the destinations in the profile looking in the table for what to send.
