Merge Replication in SQL2019 database is restored to new server NOT keeping_replication but in restored database we find MSmerge_cont_% system views.
The last part of the system view name appears to be like replication guid type values. Restored database if a different database name and on a same version of SQL server. No other evidence of merge replica metadata.
When I try to do a select on the view, it says invalid object type error.
Is this MSmerge_contents table of original database and how do you drop these invalid system views?
