Re: Ran out of identity range

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



do you mean you have run out of the identity range for the datatype? If so
you have to drop the subscriptions and the publication(s) which have the
article you are interested in fixing and change the data type.

For a new subscriber, it will get a new range when you deploy the snapshot.
For an old subscription modify the replication check constraint on the table
and run a DBCC checkident reseed. Then modify the value of max_identity in
distribution.dbo.MSrepl_identity_range

I would advise you to open a support incident with PSS for this kind of
problem.
