                                            | Dear All,Greetings!!Replication NewbieAs I have created Distribution, Publication and Subscriber on a table "tblTest" of replication type transactional replication. When checked the Replication monitor, got the error as "The initial snapshot for article 'tblTest' is not yet available.". Did work-around and started the "Snapshot Agent". Now got the error as "Cannot DROP TABLE 'dbo.TblTest' because it is being referenced by object 'View_Test'".Kindly help me to sort out the issue and approach to understand replication. |

Because the table has a view, you have the option to choose the "If Action Name Is In Use" is a >> "Truncate all data in the existing object", regenerate the snapshot and apply on the subscriber.  |
