Recently, after adding articles and refreshing the subscriptions, the snapshot will generate and then not apply to one or all subscribers. I am adding 12 articles to a publication that shares an agent with five other publications.
The message for the distribution agent will read :
The concurrent snapshot for publication 'Pubwithsharedistagent' is not available because it has not been fully generated or the Log Reader Agent is not running to activate it. If generation of the concurrent snapshot was interrupted, the Snapshot Agent
After the distribution agent runs three or four more times, that message disappears and the snapshot folder is deleted. The articles are added to replication and when the first transaction is replicated it fails with the message that the replication proc doesn't exist.
I tried just adding one article and it applied to both subscribers. I also tried adding only those articles with rows and the snapshot applied to one subscriber but not the other.
