We are having Merge replication setup where we have 10 Publications and 6 Subscribers with pull subscription.
We were facing the below error frequently on different subscribers. We initialized with Snapshot in the beginning but we need a fix so we had to contact Microsoft where they have advised us to upgrade to SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 as we were having the Publisher at a different version and subscriber at a different version.
We eventually upgraded the publisher and all the subscribers to SQL Server 2008 R2SP3 thinking this would solve the issue.
Even after upgradation also we are facing the same error, now we tried to update the cleanedup_unsent_changes to 0 on Subscriber for the subcriptions that we are facing the problem but still we are facing the problem.
Please help in resolving this issue.
The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Subscriber for changes not yet sent to the Publisher. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload).
