Create Publication Wizard bug

This appears to be a bug in SQL Server 2000 Replication, specifically in the "Create Publication Wizard".
In Enterprse Manger right-click on the Replication\Publications folder and select "New Publication...". Select "Next", any database, transactional publication/"Next","Next".
In the "Specify Articles" screen select "Article Defaults..." and "Table Articles/"OK" to get to the "Default Table Article Properties" screen.
On the "Commands" tab when replacing any of the 3 commands (INSERT, UPDATE and/or DELETE) with a stored procedure call, whatever you enter does not get saved or passed to the "Table Articles" screen for any table that you want to publish. You have to go i
n to each individual table articles property screen to modify the defaults.
Is this a bug or is there something else that you have to do to save the article defaults?
Hi,
Thanks for using Newsgroup.
From your descriptions, I understood that even you have change the SP name
in Default Article, Default SP name will still be created and you have to
change them individually.Have I understood you? If there is anything I
misunderstood, please feel free to let me konw
Based on my knowledge, it is a known issue for us and it is by design. From
Books Online, we could find the descriptions like this:
"Specify that no action will be taken at any Subscriber. Transactions of
that type are not replicated. For example, if you select Replace DELETE
statements with this stored procedure and enter NONE, DELETE statements are
not replicated for that article."
If you UNCHECK the "Use SP" option, then updates are made using TSQL
commands
instead of SP. To not replicate use keword NONE.
I am sorry for the inconvenience you may meet and thank you for your
patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, don't
hesitate to let me know.
Sincerely yours,
Michael Cheng

|||Michael,
Thank you for your timely response.
Yes you understand me correctly, and if I understand you it means that I have to change the SP settings on each individual article and setting the defaults really doesn't do anything.
I may have close to 200+ articles that need to have the same settings and from what you are saying I will have to change all 200+ of them when I should be able to set the default and have that setting propagate to the other articles.
Is there a patch or hotfix that I can apply to fix this?
Is this an issue that I should raise as a service call to Microsoft?
I can’t to believe that this problem is listed as “functions as designed”; it just doesn’t work.
Thanks,
Keith B
|||Hi Keith,
I am sorry for the inconvenience you may meet, However, as I have said, it
is an known issue by desing and I don't think we will give hotfix pr patch
for that.
However, I think there is a more complicated one as a workaround. You could
try to use T-SQL statements make a replication. You should create a
replication scripts and then add what you need manually, which I think is
more complex than SQL Server Enterprise Manager. More detailed information
for this could be found at:
