Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You configure a transactional replication on a computer that is running Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
-
You call the sp_addpublication stored procedure by setting the allow_initialize_from_backup property to N'true'. This adds a publication on the publisher.
-
You call the sp_addarticle stored procedureby setting the property type to N'proc schema only'. This adds a schema-only stored procedure article on the publisher.
-
You call the sp_addarticle stored procedure to add a table article. This replicates a table named "table1" on the publisher.
In this scenario, the sp_MSdel_table1, sp_MSins_table1, and sp_MSupd_table1 stored procedures are not generated on the subscription database.
Note This issue does not occur if you do not add the schema-only stored procedure article.
