Invalid object name ''syspublications''

  • Hello everyone,

    I just setup snapshot replication on one of my database servers and when I attempt to run the snapshot, I receive the Error 208: Invalid object name 'syspublications'.  I checked the publications database for this system table and it DOES exist.  The account that the snapshot agent is running on has access to the syspublications table.

    With that, I'm at a loss as to why I'm getting this error.  If anyone has any ideas, it would be much appreciated.

    Thank you for your help.

  • After a little persistance on my part and with the use of SQL Profiler, I discovered that there was a missing stored procedure named  sp_MSestimatesnapshotworkload.

  • You will likely find other missing stored procedures as well. It sounds like your latest sp did not apply correctly. You will need to reapply it and all subsequent hot fixes.

  • Very true Hilary.  I will check the other stored procedure to make sure they are in place.

    Thanks!
