Configuration problems

Configuration errors occur when you are running rs_init, the Replication Server program used to add and configure Replication Servers, RepAgents, and data servers to the replication system.

Usually, symptoms and problems are identified by error messages in the rs_init log file. After using the procedure in Chapter 2, “Analyzing Error Messages”, you may be able to resolve the problem by looking for the solution in Chapter 3, “Common Errors”.

Some configuration problems cause subscription materialization failures, and their symptoms do not appear until you attempt to materialize a subscription.
