Hi,

Recently we have got a new project. We are developing new project with our existing database application. We are using SQL Server 2005 std edition. Now client is asking to have the database at their end. He is asking to setup a snapshot/transaction replication from our database to their database(they are also using sql 2005-not sure edition).

I have 2 questions

1.what are the options other than replication to fit in this scenario.
2. Regarding configuring REPLICATION: What are details I need from client to set up subscriber(different location).

Thank you..

1. How current does the data need to be?
2. I don't think you need anything except how to connect to it.

I got the details. Both servers need to use same port to connect over network. And a account with sysadmin permission to connect to distributer.

And disable identity columns in subscriber after replication configuration

Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks!!

>>And disable identity columns in subscriber after replication configuration

you dont need to do this. Just run an ALTER TABLE.. NOT FOR REPLICATION on each of the tables. you can generate this statement dynamically for all tables..and execute it.

This isn't true.

Talk to your network administrator.

In one of my replicated systems, we are crossing over a domain and physical location. We just needed a firewall hole punched for the SQL port.
