Greetings,

I've been struggling with an intermittent problem with one way replication to a failover system. Occasionally I will get an error stating:

Cannot update identity column <column name>.
(Source: <subscriber host> (Data source); Error number: 8102)

Of course all identity columns are marked as not for replication. It is my understanding that this should never be a problem. Any idea as to why I am seeing this error?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

I don't have the answer to your question, but I've got a question for you. Why are you using replication for your failover system? That is what log shipping is for.

It is our intention to use the failover system for some read only decision support queries as well as the hot backup so we've implemented transactional replication to support it.

But log shipping allows you to put the failover system in read-only mode. So you would still be able to do your read-only queries.
