ayamas writes "I have one problem.In my project I have different databases at 3 diff locations.Whatever the transactions are done are done at the local database of that particular location.
What I want is I will add some windows schedule tasks which will connect to these locations through dial up in the night.As soon as it gets connected the particular job which will designed in the particular server should run & the data should be transferred from those databases to my main database on at a time.
Can it be done through replication?If yes then how?Or is there some other way.
It is some what like POS.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Add a osql cmd to your windows scheduled task to run a job on the local server, this would be your best bet as it wouldn't try to run if the connection ddin't exist..

but how can i make sure that osql cmd is run only when the connection is present because the windows scheduled task will run only to connect to that particular location.
