I currently have a republishing scenario setup. Server A is a transaction publication to server B. Server B uses the replicated tables from server A in a merge publication to multiple subscribers.
Publisher - Transactional
Publishing Subscriber - Transactional Subscription and Merge Publication
Subscriber - Merger subscription
How can I rerun the snapshot on Server A? When I attempt this now I get "Cannot drop the table because it is being used for replication" error. I understand why I am getting the message, because those articles are in fact being used in a merge publication. Is there anyway around this problem, or do I have to rebuild everything if I want to run a new snapshot from the publisher on server A?
Thanks
