Sample RepAgent Error Messages

Common RepAgent error messages and possible solutions.

In this example, the RepAgent login name is not present on the Replication Server:

RepAgent(6): Failed to connect to Replication
Server. Please check the Replication Server,
username, and password specified to
sp_config_rep_agent. RepSvr = repserver_name, user =
RepAgent_username

RepAgent(6): This Rep Agent Thread is aborting due
to an unrecoverable communications or Replication
Server error.

You must either add RepAgent’s login name to Replication Server or change RepAgent’s login name.

In this example, RepAgent cannot connect to Replication Server:
```
RepAgent(7): The Rep Agent Thread will retry the
connection to the Replication Server every 60
second(s). (RepSvr = repserver_name.)
```
Check Replication Server status. If Replication Server is down, resolve the problem and restart. Otherwise, wait for a possible network problem to resolve.
