FIX: The DownloadGenerationsPerBatch parameter is not applied correctly in a SQL Server 2005 merge replication

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • In Microsoft SQL Server 2005, you configure a merge replication.
  • You create some articles.
  • You configure Web synchronization for this merge replication.
  • You set the DownloadGenerationsPerBatch parameter of the replication merge agent to a large value. For example, you set the DownloadGenerationsPerBatch parameter to a value of 1000.
  • The subscriber_upload_options property of the articles is set to a value of 1 or a value of 2.
In this scenario, the number of generations that are processed in a single batch while downloading changes from the Publisher to the Subscriber is not the value you configured. The number of generations that are processed is a lower value, such as 200.

STATUS

Microsoft is aware of this problem. Microsoft regularly releases software updates to address specific problems. If Microsoft releases a software update to resolve this problem, this article will be updated with additional information.
