I have configured a running merge replication with several clients on a SQL Server 2012.
I now have the problem, that when I make a new snapshot and reinitialize the subscriptions there is always a certain schema change script that is causing a replication error.
Reason: An ALTER COLUMN statment fails, because an indexed view is accessing the column (the table and the view are published articles).
I thought, that when I make a new snapshot (manually start the snapshot agent) and reinitialize a subscription, there would be no need for any old schema scripts to run.
Doesn't a new snapshot include the complete schema of all articles?
