Deleted Merge Replication

  • I had deleted a merge replciation running sp_removeddbreplication and also checking MS_Publications table ans MS_Snapshot_Agents table in the distribution database.  But for some reason the deleted merge replication reappears every Monday.  I remove it and it works for a week and reappears on Monday.  I know how to remove it temporarily by running sp_removeddbreplication and making sure no references to it exist in the MS_Publications and MS_Snapshot_Agents tables in the distribution database.

    Please advise on how to remove them permanently?  Want could be causing them to reapear every Monday?  Any inputs will be much appreciated as I am fairly new to replciation and being a SQL Server DBA.

    Thanks,

    Manisha

  • Hi ,

     

    Check the jobs , might be possible there may be a job left undeleted.

    or Restart the sql services.

  • There is some job, process or someone that is rebuilding the publication, the job probably runs late Sunday night or early Monday morning.

    If this is the only publication on this server then you can disable this server as a distributer. the next time the job or process run to create the publication it will fail.

    Good luck.
