Обсуждение: Subscription stuck at initialize state

I have 2 sets of publication/subscription between my 2 DBs.

One of them is working fine and the other one is stuck at initializing state for all the tables.

I have dropped the subscription, recreated and refreshed it many times, but it won't move from the initializing phase.

Any suggestions on how to start copying the data again, other than dropping the publication and re-creating it?

Hi Abishek,

Have you checked the subscriber and publisher database log files to see if there is a problem blocking the subscription? For example, a subscribed table missing a column that exists in the publisher.

Cheers,

Steve

The only statement I see on the target DB log is
"logical replication apply worker for subscription ""sub_omx_archive_tci"" has started",,,,,,,,,""

I don't see the logical replication table synchronization worker started for any of the tables in this subscription as I see in the other one.

Is there anything in particular that I should be looking for in the log files?

Update: Tried dropping and recreating publication on the source DB and subscription still won't move ahead.

Not sure what I am missing.

So far I figured out that the problem is on the subscriber side.

The same publication, when subscribed to on another DB, works fine.

Also noticed that the remote_lsn value on the target DB is still 0/0.

targetdb=# select * from pg_replication_origin_status ;
 local_id |  external_id  |   remote_lsn   |   local_lsn
----------+---------------+----------------+----------------
        1 | pg_3615756798 | 9E96/37152C80  | 1518C/9014BD98
        2 | pg_3616584803 | 0/0                       | 0/0
(2 rows)

Would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this.

This might help you track subscription state along with pg_stat_subscription.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/catalog-pg-subscription-rel.html

It might be a huge table being 'copy' ed and writes would be slow due to too many indexes etc.

https://postgresteam.slack.com/files/UQMFAU01W/F02V69YK59P/untitled.sql

also if you see nothing is moving, you may want to login to the server and strace the worker processes pid to see if you see any movement at all or it keeps looping on some errors.

Hi Vijaykumar,

I checked the pg_subscription_rel and all the tables in that subscription are in the state - i (initialize).

I also tried creating a new publication on the source DB with just one table and tried to subscribe it, it doesn't work either.

However, when I try to subscribe it on some other DB than the one mentioned above, it works. 

By which I am deducing that publication and the source DB are okay, the problem is on the target DB and it's subscription. 

Maybe I will have to restart the DB as a last resort, but I am not sure if that will solve the problem either.

its a very verbose mail, so if it noisy, kindly ignore.

else,

can you check basic connectivity from the subscriber to publisher using psql  and run a simple query ?

can you share your "create publication" and "create subscription" commands/statements too please?

i am attaching a general logical replication setup on a single server and put some scenarios where replication breaks and how to monitor and how to resume.

and how that is monitored.

so in short,

share your

select * from pg_replication_slots;

select * from pg_stat_replication;

select * from pg_stat_activity;

ps aux | grep postgres:    # ( publisher)

from subscriber

select * from pg_stat_subscription;

select * from pg_subscription_rel;

ps aux | grep postgres:   # ( subscriber)

and logs of publisher and subscriber db (for errors, it there are no pids for above, logs should show errors)

 

trimming the email, to avoid noise.

I spent a lot of time trying multiple options/combinations and finally managed to replicate your debug output.

this is when i have ,

# solution

so i bump the  max_logical_replication_workers = 10 and restart the db servers.

as there are workers available, replication catches up and tables in sync.

# on subscriber

psql (14.1 (Ubuntu 14.1-2.pgdg20.04+1))

Type "help" for help.

postgres=# select count(1) from t_bytea;

 count

-------

     0

(1 row)

postgres=# table pg_subscription_rel;

 srsubid | srrelid | srsubstate | srsublsn

---------+---------+------------+-----------

   16406 |   16391 | r          | 0/1722838

   16407 |   16394 | r          | 0/2000110

   16408 |   16397 | r          | 0/2000148

   16409 |   16397 | r          | 0/2000148

   16410 |   16384 | r          | 0/20001B8

(5 rows)

postgres=# select count(1) from t_bytea;

 count

-------

  1000

(1 row)

so two things,

can you check logs for warning messages  of out of  logical replication worker slots on subscribers ?

can you try bumping them, and check if it catches up (srsubstate should either be r(READY) or d (INITIAL COPY))

 

also monitor logs for both publisher and subscriber.

I also figured out all the debugging steps I requested earlier were useless.
