BUG #: 363726 (SHILOH_BUGS)



SYMPTOMS
The Merge Agent for a filtered publication can fail, and you receive the following error message:

Failed to enumerate changes in the filtered articles.

Category: NULL Source:

Merge Replication Provider

Number: -2147200925

Message: Failed to enumerate changes in the filtered articles.

Category: COMMAND

Source: Failed Command

Number: 0

Message: create table #belong_agent_-2147483646 (tablenick int NOT NULL, rowguid uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,generation int NULL, lineage varbinary(255) NULL, col v varbinary(2048) NULL)

Category: SQLSERVER

Source: ServerName

Number: 170

Message: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '-'.



CAUSE
In certain scenarios, SQL Server creates the temporary table name with a dash sign in the table name; however, the dash sign in the table name causes the creation of the temporary table to fail.

Apply this fix to SQL CE subscribers
For SQL Server CE subscribers, you do not have to perform any additional steps if Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and SQL Server are running on the same computer.

If IIS is running on a different computer, follow these steps on the computer that is running IIS to correctly apply this fix:  Stop the IIS service. Rename the following DLLs to _old.dll:  Msgprox.dll Replprov.dll Replrec.dll</ul>

Note By default, these files are located in the Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\COM folder.</li> Copy the following files that are included in the hotfix to computer that is running IIS: <ul> 08-Feb-2003 06:40 2000.80.765.0 90,692 bytes Msgprox.dll</li> 08-Feb-2003 06:40 2000.80.765.0 221,768 bytes Replprov.dll</li> 08-Feb-2003 06:40 2000.80.765.0 307,784 bytes Replrec.dll</li></ul> </li>  Reregister the previous DLLs by running regsvr32 using commands that are similar to the following: regsvr32 DriveLetter:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\COM\Replrec.dll </li> Restart the IIS service.</li> Check Merge Replication Sync to make sure that no errors occurred.</li></ol>

Note The fix must be applied on both the publisher and the subscriber. The hotfix is also available in the security hotfix rollup that is described in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
