[dba-SQLServer]Issues with Multiple Subscriptions

Mark,

How are you actually moving the data?

Are you having replication transfer the changes via FTP? I would recommend this approach. Basically the replication process delivers the file (containing the data to be replicated) to a folder on the publisher/distributor machine and then the subscriber picks up the file via FTP and runs replication after it grabs the file.

Eric -
Yes, replication is running off a WAN link.  The Distributor is in my
office, along with 1 other SQL Server.  The other 2 servers are about
200 miles away.

off expensive CPU cycles.
What other options do I have?

Thanks,
Mark

Mark,

M$ replication is such a resource hog. Those log agents and snapshot
agents will kill your processor and lop off expensive CPU cycles. Are
you running replication over a WAN link?

I am in the process of creating 3 Push Subscriptions from 1
Distributor/Publisher.

Basically, I need all 4 SQL Servers to have the same data replicated
between each other.

 

Are there any known issues with setting up all 3 Replication Schedules
to run at the same times during the day?  I want to have the data
replicated every 15 minutes, between 5:00AM and 11:00PM.  Is there a
problem with each push having the same start time, or should I have each
start about 5 minutes after each other?

 

Are there any other issues I should consider?

 

TIA,
