The merge process could not initialize the subscription. Ensure that the subscription registration exists at the publisher, and reregister the subscription if necessary. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201011)

Hi Ahmad,
Has the subscription database been a subscriber in the past? Or does the subscription database have any other existing subscriptions?
If so, you may want to execute sp_dropmergesubscription at the Publisher to remove any orphaned metadata. Also, if the subscription database does not have any other existing subscriptions then execute sp_removedbreplication at the subscriber to remove any orphaned metadata.
If you are getting uninitialized subscription message when you do a pull subscription then you will need to generate a new snapshot and start the Merge Agent to initialize the subscription.

Hi Brandon,
Thanks for replying
the subscription database doesn't have any subscriber or subscriptions because it's new.
Note:
1 - the replication process stopped after replicate DB schema(tables) then we get this error
2 - i tried replicate a two tables from database and it's working(schema and data) without any problems!!
