I'm setting up replication for the first time on a new development server. When I use the publication wizard all the tables are shown as locked? I don't have the option to select any tables and the show in the wizard with a key and a red X.

What does this mean? How do I change it?

Thanks,
Marcie

Thats means you are doing Transactional replication and every table should have a primary key. Red X and key means there is no primary key.

Thank you, I recreated as a snapshot and it failed last night. I'll be trying to figure this out today.

Can anyone tell me what this means "I/O error while writing BCP data-file". This is the Error detail from the Snapshot agent. It seems pretty self explanitory, but I don't have a file named BCP, so not sure what that refers to.

Thanks,
Marcie

This is the error message: "The process could not bulk copy out of table '[dbo].[syncobj_0x4141453135373944]'."

BCP is the Bulk Copy Process. I didn't realize that replication used BCP but it makes sense to use it.

Is there a way to find out what table it is referring to? '[dbo].[syncobj_0x4141453135373944]'?

What's sql sp level? What's sql service account? Are those servers in same domain? How did you set replication?

I'm doing a snapshot replication. Do the tables need to have a primary key?

My problem causing the error "I/O error while writing BCP data-file" was caused because of not enough space on the drive where the snapshot was being created.
