This should be simple but…server passthru works with a manually issued console command but not when initiated by a connection document.
I have three servers (A,B and C), server C is in a separate domain and organization. I want to replicate a database that resides on Servers A and C. A and C do not have direct connectivity. I have defined Server B as a passthru server with an allowed destination of Server A. Entities allowed to passthru Server B are myself and Server C. Server C and myself are also allowed to access Server A via passthru.
I then created a connection document to schedule the replication of the databases on Server A and C. When the schedule kicks off there is an error message in the log, “Server A is not a known TCPIP host”. However, if I physically go to the server C and issue a replicate command to server A then there are no error messages and replication proceeded between Server A and C by passingthru Server B. Since passthru works using a console command, it makes me think that my port information is correct and the passthru configuration is correct.
Any ideas why it would work using a manually issued rep command but not when a connection document initiates the rep command? I’ve tried deleting and re-creating the conenction documents but the results are the same. Thanks for any insight…
