Hi All,

I setup a replication from one SQL 2000 server (A) to another (B). Before
creating a replication I scripted a database on a server A and ran a script
(successfuly) on the server B. It created all tables, views, sps, etc.
After a snapshot had been generated and synchronization begins it fails due
to the error message :
Invalid object name 'TRANSACTIONS'. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 208)
Get help: http://help/208
Unable to replicate a view or function because the referenced objects or
columns are not present on the Subscriber. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error
number: 00000)
Get help: http://help/00000

that view (transactions) is being deleted every time replication is started
but is there right after I ran a script. There is no explisit drop view
command.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ton

This is caused by incorrect dependencies. The programming objects are
dropped, then created in the wrong order. You can refresh your views on the
publisher and see if this removes the problem. Also, I'm not too sure why
you are replicating the programming objects if they already exist on Server
B?

Put your schema objects (views, procs, user defined functions), in a
separate snapshot publication, and run this after your initial snapshot has
been distributed. Either that or put them in the post snapshot command.

Note that replication is supposed to order replicated objects according to
dependencies, but it refers to sysdepends for this, which if frequently
inaccurate.
