I have primary key duplication issues on brand new snapshot of data, where
subscriber is just a read-only reporting server. I am trying to turn on
verbose history agent profile, but don't know specifics of doing this. Do I
do it on the distribution agent or at the subscriber? Also, where does it
store the information?

Thanks,
Chuck

Ok, I enabled logging, but it isn't telling me anything more than I already
know - data is somehow being duplicated. I have checked all the
subscriptions and there isn't any duplication. The box is a reporting
server, so there shouldn't be any inserts to the data.

I have completely deleted the subscription and tried again, made sure
compatibility mode was at 90. This was working just fine, then one day it
just turned south and I turned on ignore errors, then users started
complaining that data was missing.

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot from here?

Thanks,

Chuck, I've got a couple of questions for you:

1) Did you get the uniqueness violation during the initial bulk-load at the
subscriber? (Sounds like it but I want to make sure)
2) Did you start off with an empty subscriber database or did you use "drop"
as the pre-creation command for your articles?
