Consider the following scenario. In Microsoft SQL Server 2005, you implement a merge replication. Multiple subscriptions for this merge replication share the same subscription database. In the subscription database, you change one of the articles in one of the subscriptions. Then, you reinitialize the subscriptions. In this scenario, the changes are not reflected in the publication database.
This problem occurs because a generation is processed incorrectly when you reinitialize the subscriptions. Duplicate rows are inserted into the MSmerge_genhistory table in the subscription database.
