Hey all,

just a little question I just created a working replication well at least i think i did

I get the publisher setup fine

I pushed a subscription fine, however
After I when through the push subscription wizard (all worked)

my subscription status is Pending?? the tutorial i followed
http://ouriran.com/snapshot.cfm says it should be active and i followed it sep by step

why would the status be pending? or how can I make it active?

P.S it is a snapshot replication

Unless you select the checkbox to start the initialization process immediately you will have to wait until the scheduled job fires off. You can also go to the job in SQL Server Agent and fire it off manually.

It is in the step Push Subscription Wizard.Set Distribution Agent Schedule on the tutorial you listed. Remember, this is for snapshot replication which is not a continuous update, if you need that then your best bet would be Transactional Replication.

HTH,

Forgot,

Make sure you fired off the right agent, initially, the snapshot agent. After that is done, you'll need to make sure your distribution agent is successfully started.

Note: If you do use a push subcription do not try to push it out to the subcriber untill the snapshot completes on the publisher.
