Replication error

Hello,
I have 2BD which is installed on 2 serv #, they have same architecture (the same table, relation diagrams) I need 2rplications:
sens1=> BD1 (table1, table2) to BD2 (table1, table2)
sens2=> BD2 (table3, table4) to BD1 (table3, table4)

problem: when I want to retort one or 2 table of the BD1=>BD2
The diagram that I had on BD2 is crushed in other words the whole of the relation are re-initialized.
I found an explanation: when I notch (yes to initialize diagram and data) in the assistant of extraction of subscription the problem is to announce but the replication that passes but not as it is needed,
if not =>when I notch (Not the subscriber has already of the diagram and the data) another message is announced Impossible to find the procedure stored sp_MSupd_table1. is the replication is blocked,
ideas? thank you in advanceThe procedures mentioned above are generated by the subscription. In order to create them in your database, try this, although I can not guarantee this will work:
1) create a dummy database with no tables.
2) subscribe to the publication with this database.
3) Copy the procedures generated in the dummy database to your real subscriber.
4) Copy all the published data from the publisher to the subscriber.
5) Create the subscription with the "subscriber has already of the diagram and the data" checkbox checked.

This should get you through, but I have never tried it, so I can not be certain.

Replication down Log Shrinking

Hi,

Is there any relation between replication and the transaction log, we have set up transactional replication between our databases, and I had to clear the log as its size was huge, I also reduced the temp db size. After that, the replication is down, with an error, the subscriptions are invalid, reconfigure the Topology.

Is this related to the shrinking of the logs ?

These two things (shrinking the log, and the expiration of subscription) are not related.|||Ok Sounds logical, but when we have to reduce the size of tempdb, the way we do it is restart the sql server right ? In this case P2P configured has to go down. If yes, then what must be the ideal way of reducing the tempdb size on a system where P2P replication is configured ?|||

. Transaction log and Transactional replication very much related.

Transaction Log Space

For each database that will be published in transactional replication, ensure that the transaction log has enough space allocated. The transaction log of a published database may require more space than the log of an identical, unpublished database. This is because the log records may not be purged until they have been moved to the distribution database.

If the distribution database is unavailable, or if the Log Reader Agent is not running, the transaction log of a publication database continues to grow. The log cannot be truncated past the oldest published transaction that has not been passed into the distribution database (unless replication is turned off completely for that database). It is recommended that you set the transaction log file to autogrow so that the log can accommodate these circumstances.

see the first thing i want to mention here is you should never ever trucate the TL of a replicated DB. Each subscription has a lif which is by default (336 hrs ) if i remember correctly, which can be changed in the property of of a publication. If you restart server the replication will not effect. it will re-start from where it left.

Why do you need to reduce the size of tempdb?

DO you have any free disk space issues?

I wouldn't suggest to shrink the TEMPDB and keep up the log size with regular transactionlog backups, as you have more information about Trans.log & Trans.replication relation.
