FIX: Merge replication non-convergence occurs with SQL Server CE subscribers

View products that this article applies to.
Article ID:867879
Last Review:November 2, 2007
Revision:2.3
Bug #: 471602 (SHILOH_BUGS)
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2000 fix release.

SYMPTOMS

When two tables are published that meet the following conditions, the corresponding child table rows that are associated with the "coming into partition" parent changes are not replicated to the Microsoft SQL Server CE subscribers:
•The parent table has a dynamic subset filter.
•The child table is joined to the parent table by using a join filter.
•The subscribers to the articles are SQL Server CE subscribers.
•Updates on the parent table and the child table cause the row to go out of partition, followed by other updates to the parent table that cause the row to come back into partition.
This problem does not occur with SQL Server subscribers. See the "More Information" section for an example of the problem in detail.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1.In SQL Server, Run the following code to set up the database, the tables, and merge replication:
create database cesimplerepro
GO
use cesimplerepro
GO
create table main (mainid int not null primary key, id_user int)
GO
create table child (childid int not null primary key, id_user int, mainid int foreign key references main(mainid))
GO
insert into main (mainid, id_user) values (3, 5)
GO
insert into child (childid, id_user, mainid) values (1, 10, 3)
GO
exec sp_replicationdboption @dbname = N'cesimplerepro', @optname = N'merge publish', @value = N'true'
GO
-- Add the merge publication.
exec sp_addmergepublication @publication = N'cesimplerepro',  @retention = 14, @sync_mode = N'character', @allow_push = N'true', @allow_pull = N'true', @allow_anonymous = N'true', @enabled_for_internet = N'false', @centralized_conflicts = N'true', @dynamic_filters = N'true', @snapshot_in_defaultfolder = N'true', @compress_snapshot = N'false', @ftp_port = 21, @ftp_login = N'anonymous', @conflict_retention = 14, @keep_partition_changes = N'true', @allow_subscription_copy = N'false', @allow_synctoalternate = N'false',@add_to_active_directory = N'false', @max_concurrent_merge = 0, @max_concurrent_dynamic_snapshots = 0
GO
exec sp_addpublication_snapshot @publication = N'cesimplerepro',@frequency_type = 4, @frequency_interval = 1, @frequency_relative_interval = 1, @frequency_recurrence_factor = 0, @frequency_subday = 1, @frequency_subday_interval = 5, @active_start_date = 0, @active_end_date = 0, @active_start_time_of_day = 500, @active_end_time_of_day = 235959
GO
exec sp_grant_publication_access @publication = N'cesimplerepro', @login = N'BUILTIN\Administrators'
GO
exec sp_grant_publication_access @publication = N'cesimplerepro', @login = N'distributor_admin'
GO
exec sp_grant_publication_access @publication = N'cesimplerepro', @login = N'sa'
GO
-- Add the merge articles.
exec sp_addmergearticle @publication = N'cesimplerepro', @article = N'main', @source_owner = N'dbo', @source_object = N'main', @type = N'table', @description = null, @column_tracking = N'true', @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop', @creation_script = null, @schema_option = 0x000000000000CFF1, @article_resolver = null, @subset_filterclause = N'ID_User = 5', @vertical_partition = N'false', @destination_owner = N'dbo', @auto_identity_range = N'false', @verify_resolver_signature = 0, @allow_interactive_resolver = N'false', @fast_multicol_updateproc = N'true', @check_permissions = 0
GO
exec sp_addmergearticle @publication = N'cesimplerepro', @article = N'child', @source_owner = N'dbo', @source_object = N'child', @type = N'table', @description = null, @column_tracking = N'true', @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop', @creation_script = null, @schema_option = 0x000000000000CFF1, @article_resolver = null, @subset_filterclause = null, @vertical_partition = N'false', @destination_owner = N'dbo', @auto_identity_range = N'false', @verify_resolver_signature = 0, @allow_interactive_resolver = N'false', @fast_multicol_updateproc = N'true', @check_permissions = 0
GO
-- Add the article subset filter.
exec sp_addmergefilter @publication = N'cesimplerepro', @article = N'Child', @filtername = N'child_main', @join_articlename = N'main', @join_filterclause = N'main.mainid = Child.mainid', @join_unique_key = 0
GO
2.Run the Snapshot Agent, and then download the snapshot to a SQL Server CE Subscriber.
3.Run the following queries at the Subscriber:
update main set id_user = 0  -- Take this row out of the partition.
update child set id_user = 10 -- This is a dummy update on the child table.
4.Synchronize the changes to the publisher. Notice that the SQL Server CE Subscriber has no rows for the main table and the child table because the filter is no longer satisfied.
5.Run the following query in Publisher:
Update main set id_user = 5 -- Satisfies the filter clause again. The row will get into partition on the next synch.
6.Synchronize the changes to the SQL Server CE subscriber.

On the Subscriber, you will see one row for the main table. This behavior is correct. But you do not see any rows for the child table. This is incorrect.
