Resetting the Primary Microsoft SQL Server Database for Replication
In
a test environment, you may occasionally need to reset the replication environment.
Protect your new environment from old log information by
archiving all current redo log data. In the Replication Agent,
run:
ra_locator move_truncpt
Reinitialize Replication Agent, which refreshes the Replication Agent repository rather than overwriting it:
ra_admin refresh
Note:
If you prefer to delete and replace all the information
in the Replication Agent repository, issue ra_admin deinit, force followed by ra_admin init (without the force option).
Reset the locator stored in Replication Server:
isql -Usa -Psa_pass -SSAMPLE_RS
connect
go
rs_zeroltm pds, pdb
go
exit
go
You
see:
Locator has been reset to zero.
(return status = 0)
