Description of cross-version compatibility scenarios for merge replication in SQL Server Compact 3.5

On This Page

INTRODUCTION

This article describes cross-version compatibility scenarios for merge replication in Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5.

Note These scenarios do not apply to Sync Services for ADO.NET. For more information about the differences between Sync Services for ADO.NET and merge replication, visit the following Web sites:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sync/cc470041.aspx (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sync/cc470041.aspx)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281959(SQL.100).aspx (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281959(SQL.100).aspx)

MORE INFORMATION

The cross-version compatibility scenarios for merge replication in SQL Server Compact 3.5 can be summarized as follows:
  • SQL Server Compact 3.5 can synchronize only with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and not with Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
  • The SQL Server Compact 3.5 Server Tools package enables synchronization between SQL Server 2005 and the following products:
    • SQL Server Compact client version 3.0
    • SQL Server Compact client version 3.1
    • SQL Server Compact client version 3.5
    This synchronization occurs through SQL Server Compact 3.5 Internet Information Services (IIS) components.
  • Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) can synchronize with both SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
  • The SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Server Tools package enables synchronization between SQL Server 2008 and the following products:
    • SQL Server Compact client version 3.0
    • SQL Server Compact client version 3.1
    • SQL Server Compact client version 3.5
    This synchronization occurs through SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 IIS components.
  • The SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 client version can synchronize with SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2005 from the database side.

We plan to release the following tools in Phase 2:
  • SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Server Tools package for SQL Server 2005
  • SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Server Tools package for SQL Server 2008
Note These new packages will replace the Phase 1 packages.

General information for deployment

  • You can install SQL Server Compact client version 3.0 and SQL Server Compact client version 3.5 by using a side-by-side installation.
  • The SQL Server IIS components version must be equal to or earlier than the SQL Server publisher version.
  • You can install the SQL Server IIS components by using a side-by-side installation. The SQL Server IIS components must be in two directories, one physical and one virtual.
  • SQL Server IIS components and SQL Server Compact IIS components reside on a server that is running IIS.
  • You can install the SQL Server IIS components from the SQL Server Installation media. To install the SQL Server IIS components, click Shared Features on the Feature Selection page, and then click Client Tools.
Important This article does not describe the following deployment scenarios:
  • You upgrade clients from SQL Server Compact version 2.0 to SQL Server Compact version 3.0 or to SQL Server Compact version 3.1.
  • You upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
  • You have a mixed installation that includes SQL Server Compact client version 2.0, version 3.0, or version 3.1 together with SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005.
For more information about these deployment scenarios, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/sqlmobile/connectivity-tools.mspx (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/sqlmobile/connectivity-tools.mspx)

New rules that apply only to SQL Server Compact 3.x versions

  • The SQL Server Compact 3.x versions of client components must be equal to or earlier than the SQL Server Compact 3.x IIS components versions. The SQL Server Compact 3.1 client can connect to SQL Server 3.1 and to SQL Server 3.5 IIS components. The SQL Server Compact 3.5 client can connect to SQL Server 3.5 IIS components.
  • You cannot install SQL Server Compact 3.x IIS components by using a side-by-side installation.

Note For more information, see the "Deployment scenarios" section.

Deployment scenarios

This section describes how to upgrade an existing deployment and how to set up a new deployment. Additionally, this section describes how to set up a deployment of mixed subscribers.

"Mixed subscribers" are SQL Server Compact clients that are of different versions. For example, a single deployment may include different versions of SQL Server Compact clients that connect to the same SQL Server publisher computer through the same or different IIS servers. These SQL Server Compact clients are called "mixed subscribers."

For more information about how to configure the server that is running IIS, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172441(SQL.100).aspx (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172441(SQL.100).aspx)
Note SQL Server Compact includes the Configure Web Synchronization Wizard. This wizard helps you configure a virtual directory in IIS. When a virtual directory URL is changed, you must update the virtual directory information to refer to a new URL. Additionally, you must update the clients to point to this new URL.

For more information about the Configure Web Synchronization Wizard, visit the following MSDN Web sites:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172450(SQL.100).aspx (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172450(SQL.100).aspx)

Mixed deployments

You may have mixed deployments by choice or because of an incremental upgrade. This section describes how to set up a server that is running IIS in mixed deployment scenarios and in cases that require multiple IIS servers.

The mixed deployment scenarios that this section describes include only subscribers that are mixed versions of SQL Server Compact clients. This section does not describe mixed deployment scenarios that include different kinds of subscribers, such as SQL Server Compact subscribers and SQL Server Express subscribers together.

SQL Server Compact 2.0 and SQL Server Compact 3.5 client versions and any version of SQL Server

This deployment scenario includes SQL Server Compact 2.0 or SQL Server Compact 3.5 subscribers and any version of a SQL Server publisher.

SQL Server Compact 2.0 and SQL Server Compact 3.5 cannot be subscribers to the same publisher even with different publications. This combination is not supported. You must upgrade SQL Server Compact 2.0 subscribers to SQL Server Compact version 3.0, version 3.1, or version 3.5. Or, you must have different publishers for different SQL Server Compact clients in the deployment.

If there are different publishers, you must make sure that you configure different IIS servers. For more information about how to set up two completely disjoint parallel deployments, see the "New deployment" section.

SQL Server Compact 2.0, SQL Server Compact 3.0, or SQL Server Compact 3.1 client version and any SQL Server version

SQL Server Compact 2.0 cannot be a subscriber to SQL Server 2008. Therefore, this deployment is a new mixed deployment. For more information about this kind of mixed deployment, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/sqlmobile/connectivity-tools.mspx (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/sqlmobile/connectivity-tools.mspx)

Any SQL Server Compact client version and SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2008

This deployment scenario describes a deployment that may include SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2008 publishers and the following subscribers:
  • SQL Server Compact 2.0
  • SQL Server Compact 3.0
  • SQL Server Compact 3.1
  • SQL Server Compact 3.5
Important SQL Server Compact 3.5 cannot be a subscriber to a SQL Server 2000 publisher.

If there are different publishers and different sets of subscribers, you must make sure that you configure different IIS servers. In this case, you may have to use a separate set of deployments that resembles the following set of deployments:
  • Subscriber Set1 performs a merge replication process through IIS server1 with SQL Server1
  • Subscriber Set2 performs a merge replication process through IIS server2 with SQL Server2
Note This deployment scenario is not a mixed deployment. It resembles the two completely disjoint parallel setups that can be configured as specified in the "New Deployment" section.

SQL Server Compact 3.0, SQL Server Compact 3.1, SQL Server Compact 3.5 client versions and SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008

In this deployment scenario, one server that is running IIS can serve all the SQL Server Compact subscribers with or without multiple publishers in the deployment. SQL Server Compact 3.5 IIS programs can connect to any SQL Server Compact 3.x version client program. Therefore, a single SQL Server Compact 3.5 Server Agent URL can be used by all SQL Server Compact 3.x version clients.

Note When you use SQL Server 2008 as a publisher, the SQL Server Compact 3.5 IIS components must be version 3.5 SP1 or a later version.

To set up this mixed deployment, follow these steps:
  1. Upgrade clients and servers as needed.
  2. On a server that is running IIS, uninstall the SQL Server Compact 3.1 Server Tools package.
  3. On a server that is running IIS, uninstall the SQL Server Compact 2.0 Server Tools package.
  4. On a server that is running IIS, uninstall SQL Server 2000 IIS Components.

    Note This step is optional.
  5. Remove the SQL Server Compact 2.0 Server Agent ISAPI Virtual Directories.
  6. Remove the Server Agent ISAPI Virtual Directories for SQL Server Compact version 3.0 or for SQL Server Compact version 3.1.
  7. If any publisher is SQL Server 2005, install or keep SQL Server 2005 IIS Components on a server that is running IIS.
  8. If any publisher is SQL Server 2008, install or keep SQL Server 2008 IIS Components on a server that is running IIS.
  9. If all publishers are SQL Server 2005, install the release version or a later version of the SQL Server Compact 3.5 Server Tools package on a server that is running IIS.
  10. If any publisher is SQL Server 2008, install the SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Server Tools package or a later version on a server that is running IIS.
  11. Configure Web synchronization by using the SQL Server Compact 3.5 Server Agent ISAPI.
You can configure multiple IIS servers for different combinations of publishers and subscribers. When you do this, the deployment is no longer a mixed deployment. The deployment resembles two completely disjoint parallel setups that can be configured as specified in the "New Deployment" section.
