The merge process failed because it detected a mismatch between the replication metadata of the two replicas, such that some changes could be lost leading to non-convergence.

Hi, I have a publication that is (merge) replicated to multiple subscribers. One of the subscribers has not replicated within the metadata retention period (18 day period, not replicated for 45 days). My (inherited) SOP in this instance is to fudge sysmergesubscriptions.cleanedup_unsent_changes to 0, replicate the subscriber to upload any changes made locally, then reinitialise the subscriber.This works fine usually, but today one of my subscribers has failed with the error in the title. I have seen a possible solution on this thread at msdn: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/br/sqlreplication/thread/ef104e7a-ff90-412b-aebb-4860425df047I'm reluctant to attempt to implement something that I'm not convinced I understand well enough. Does anyone have any experience of implementing this solution? Advice would be gratefully received.I'd be happy to hear any other suggestions for working around this particular problem in other ways.Regards, Iain
