Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
In SQL Server 2012, 2014, or 2016, you use a filtered (row level) merge publication that has precomputed partitions enabled.
-
You don't have the ALTER TRACE permission.
-
You try to delete a record from the published table (on which the filter is present) by using a DELETE statement that doesn’t meet the filter criteria.
In this scenario, you receive an error message that resembles the following:
Msg 8189, Level 14, State 10, Procedure sp_repl_generateevent, Line 1
You do not have permission to run 'SP_TRACE_GENERATEEVENT'.
