Hi
I have a replicated table (Transactional) where only a hand full of fields are replicated, I need to add another column and below is how I am adding the column, once I’ve ticked the box and clicked OK, I get the below message, please can someone explain what this means.
Steps to add column
- Open the publication Properties (using SSMS 2008 R2)
- Expand the columns on <table>
- Tick the <column> box
Message
You have changed one or more properties that require all subscriptions to be reinitialized.
Saving these changes marks each subscription that supports automatic reinitialization to be reinitialized
from the snapshot the next time its distribution agent runs. You must run the snapshot agent to generate the snapshot.
For subscriptions that were initialized manually when they were created: drop the subscription, reinitialialize the
subscription database manually, and create the subscription again.
Many Thanks
