SQL Server migration through transactional replication to configure the Azure VM SQL Server as a subscriber and then disable replication, pointing users to the Azure database.

    Transactional replication is typically used in server-to-server environments. This service is relevant when you need to minimize downtime and do not have an AlwaysOn on-premises deployment.

    Our objective is to migrate a SQL Server to an Azure VM with minimal downtime.

    This project will be considered successful when SQL databases are available from Azure without data loss.

    IT Partner responsibilities #

    • Implement SQL Server Snapshot Agent, Log Reader Agent, and Distribution Agent
    • Prepare snapshot files containing schema and data of published tables and database objects
    • Synchronize jobs in the distribution database on the Distributor
    • Make incremental changes at the Publisher flow to Subscribers according to the schedule of the Distribution Agent, which can run continuously for minimal latency or at scheduled intervals
