I recently made some changes to a working publication under Merge replication which seem to have broken synchronization for the subscriber.

The error message I’m getting is:

The schema script 'ftdb_arcmessagefac64b65_76.sch' could not be propagated
to the subscriber. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201001)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147201001
The process could not read file 'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\ReplData\unc\xxx\20120701000581\xxxx.sch' due to OS error 3. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL0)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL0

I’ve looked in the unc directory, and there’s no directory 20120701000581, but there’s a directory 20120706110881 from when the snapshot of the publication was updated.

I’ve tried reinitializing the subscription and recreating the snapshot, but the process still fails expecting the 20120701000581.

I haven’t tried deleting and recreating the subscription yet, as I would rather get to the bottom of the issue before trying this. Can someone explain what may be happening and how to fix this?

    After some further investigation, it appeared that I was able to make some changes to the article properties in the subscription and once the snapshot was rebuilt the subscription resynchronization ran successfully.
