When you delete a replicate set, Enterprise Replication does not
delete the replicates that are members of the replicate set. The replicates
remain in the state they were in when the set was deleted.
Avoid deleting a replicate
set and immediately re-creating it with the same name. If you re-create the
objects immediately (before the operation finishes propagating to the other Enterprise Replication database
servers in the network), failures might occur in the Enterprise Replication system at the time
of the operation or later. For more information, see
Operational Considerations.
