Re: msdb recreate cause replication problems



Eventually called MS Tech Support. The goal was to het replication
working at all, never mind the jobs or the previous state. But since
all relevant tables in msdb where gone, the whole thing was in limbo

The only REAL option is indeed a fresh install of SQL. However, they
where able to help me out, though a number of steps which involved
removing repliation from the database, dropping the distribution db,
and some other assorted trickery. But eventually we got it to work.
Turns out that if you re-create the distribution database all the
associated msdb tables and jobs are also recreated. Fortunately ;)

Lesson: make sure you keep good, validated backups of msdb at all
times. Bitten once again :(

I take it you mean you want your jobs to pick up where they left off.
Dropping and recreating the publications and subscriptions should do that.
If you mean the replication table in msdb, they are created there when you
install sql server.
