Which SQL table holds the ARS management history partner SQL database name for ARS 7.3

We have an orphaned entry in ARS SQL config for a management history database subscriber that was deleted.

it was deleted using the ARS console - right-click 'delete'

it disappears - only to re-appear in the console on re-connect.  I found reference on how t resolve for a 7.4* database in my forum search - below, but tat doesn't apply to 7.3.1

What is that doggone table in ARS configuration DB - or MH DB on the publisher SQL host …hosting the record that identifies the remembered SQL replication partner ?

This link shows the table I believe for the newer DB. <Crizzapp> can't copy/paste - but it references 7.4.3 but no love in my forum search for 7.3.1

  • opened ... starting back from scratch.  yes, I did that.  and that...  yep - that too - but I'll do it again to follow the script.

    I only ask questions I don't know the answer to : )

    Will resume tomorrow ... I have a MS SQL Engineer working with me on the SQL replication issue - but they can't guess which table in ARS DB might contain references to SQL replication.    It's like a ghost.  I delete it using the method recommended by support ... reconnect to the console/same host and voila - it's BbbaaaaAAAkkk

    Neither SQL box has a reference to the old subscription - which lead me to the hypothesis that the ARS configuration DB keeps a record of what it's partners are - and I just have to find and delete that row.

    I suppose, deleting the remaining issueless subscriber - and dropping the publisher back to standalone ... then starting the dance over again would ensure a clean start.  Might have to go that route if there isn't a known-spot in the configuration DB table that holds that magic unicorn reference.


  • Paste is working for me today - so this is the command from an email exchange between yourself JQ and another user in the post:

    (+) ARS - Replication status "unknown" / Publisher - Subscriber - Forum - Active Roles Community - One Identity Community

    delete from tblReplication where edsaSQLAlias = N'<servername>' and edsaDatabaseName = N'<databasename>'

    The above referenced table doesn't exist in 7.3.1 ... we're peddling as fast as we can to get the upgrade performed before end of calendar year to coincide with the in-place-upgrades planed to W2K19/SQL2K19 as well.

    OneIdentity support has the ticket and is pinging those-that-know for the advice.

    thanks again JQ
