Question :
I am configuring transactional replication in SQL Server. The subscription is configured as push from 2008R2 publisher (distributor is the same server) to 2012 subscriber.
The object I want to replicate is an indexed view. The base tables exist only on the publisher.
The replication fails due to the following error:
Unable to replicate a view or function because the referenced objects or columns are not present on the Subscriber
It is true that the view doesn’t exist in the subscription database. How can i create it without the base tables?
Answer :
The clue to this is in the error, which is telling you that it can’t create the view on the subscriber, because the subscriber is missing tables and/or columns that the view relies on.
You can’t create the view without the base tables, so make sure you replicate the tables and/or columns involved in the view to the subscriber too, and then the view itself can be replicated.
