Hello All,
I have to upgrade publisher from SQL 2008 to 2012 (the upgrade will be on new windows server - side by side) and to do so, will have to drop the distributor, publications and subscriptions.
So I scripted the drop/disable and create/enable from wizard. The script is tested the test environment. The drop replication script dropped everything but the table and data even though the tables had property setup to 'drop/delete the table' if name is used. This is exactly I wanted. So the drop script is tested.
Now, the create replication script created distributor, publications and subscription (sync = with replication only) without re-initialization as expected due to the sync property. But i got an error below:
The logreader agent already exists. Use 'sp_changelogreader_agent' to change any settings/properties
Do I have to drop log reader agent job manually? Or can i ignore this error?
Please advise?
Thanks,
P
