Hello,

I have a server with 5 databases which are inter related. Now i am migrating a database(out of 5) to another server and planning to create a linked server between those two servers. When i created a test linked server and changing the stored procedures from all the databases to use the new linked server, then i am getting the error

Msg 7639, Level 16, State 1, Procedure xxxxxx
Cannot use a full-text predicate on table 'xxxxxxxx' because it is not located on the local server.

Does anybody have any idea about this???

Thanks in Advance

Why are you migrating it? If they are inter-related, then they should be on the same instance. Your queries will slowdown if you use a linked server.

I am migrating the db to 2005 server from 2000 and also will be migrating all the others in future. I am just starting with one of the database.

I would highly recommend doing them all at once. Using a linked server is not the way to go. We have a system that uses 7 databases and migrated them all to 2005 a few years ago. Although your test cycle will be longer, you won't have to do it multiple times. Plus you don't have to make any code modifications to handle splitting them onto separate servers.

The performance issue alone though should persuade you not to migrate them one at a time.
