                                            | There is one SQL Server 2005 with running transactional replication for 2 databases. The server is publisher and distributer.There is one SQL Server 2005 as a subscriber to these databases.Due to performance issues we are planning to separate distributor to a new server sql 2012.And subscriber also to sql2012. Let me know the steps on performing it as it is a production box. |  |

                                          | Shutdown the applications to ensure no new data is flowing through the system. I also disable the logins to make sure they can't connect until I am done. Make sure replication is caught up by doing a tracer token. Drop replication on the publisher, backup/restore or detach/attach for the subscriber, point the publisher over to the new distributor, setup replication on the publisher.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |
