Re: Orphaned Publication

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



you have to reverse engineer the stored procedures to see which
publisher/publication/subscriber/subscription is bogus and then delete it.

Bogus entries in distribution.dbo.syspublications are the most frequent
culprit.

Use sp_droppublication to try to remove it.

A database has been deleted that had publications set up and these are now
causing errors in the 'Replication Monitor'.
Under Replication Monitor - Publishers - SeverName - dbname we have a
failed
snapshot agent that says [SQL-DMO]The name 'dbname' was not found in the
Databases collection. If the name is a qualified name, use [] to separate
various parts of the name, and try again.".
Under Replication Monitor - Agents - Snapshot Agents and this has the same
error.

If I try and delete the entry under Under Replication Monitor -
Publishers -
SeverName - dbname I receive the following error:
"[SQL-DMO]The name 'dbname' was not found in the Databases collection. If
the name is a qualified name, use [] to separate various parts of the
name,
and try again."

Under Replication - Publishers there are no entries.

How can I tidy this up and remove the entries and thus the big red cross?

Thanks in advance.
