I have a one way transactional replication set up between two 2005 MS Sql servers. Recently I have started to receive the following message in the replication monitor from the subscriber:
Table 'dbo.tblname' does not have the identity property. Cannot perform SET operation. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 8106)
Will adding the identity column to 'dbo.tblname' on the subscriber resolve this error or do I need to drop and re-add the subscription?
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
There is no need to add an identity column for no reason.
My guess is someone is issuing a SET IDENTITY_INSERT ON when there is no identity column in this table.
You need to check the code to make sure it is correct.
Re-adding the subscription did not resolve this issue. The scheme created replication snapshot agent added a SET IDENTITY_INSERT 'dbo.tblname' ON for record inserts to the insert and update stored procedure.
A manual edit to remove the SET IDENTITY_INSERT 'dbo.tblname' ON from the stored procedures was all that was required.
However this will be an issue when I run the snapshot agent in the future.
