Rename SQL Agent Jobs for Replication

I have SEVERAL replication publications/subscriptions on a server.
The names that are assigned to these jobs are vague and cryptic at best. I
went ahead and renamed them to something a little more telling. I noe get the
following error:
TITLE: Replication Monitor
Replication Monitor could not start the job
'100602-DB4-NavigatorSuiteReplicate-NavigatorSuiteReplicate_TPA3-28'.
The specified @.job_name
('100602-DB4-NavigatorSuiteReplicate-NavigatorSuiteReplicate_TPA3-28') does
not exist. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 14262)
Is there some other place I need to update the names of these jobs? Or do I
just need to go back and name them what they were before?
Thanks!
have a look at MSsnapshot_agents
MSlogreader_agents
MSdistribution_agents
MSmerge_agents
MSqreader_agents
in the distribution database,

removing deactivated subscriptions

Hi

We are using merge replication - how do we remove deactivated subscriptions from the replication monitor at the publisher. These are anonymous HTTPS subscribers....

Thanks

Bruce

I use this stored procedure which runs against the distribution database:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_DeleteMergeAgentSessions]

@.Publication [nvarchar](50),

@.Subscriber [nvarchar](50),

@.Database [nvarchar](50) = NULL

AS

SET NOCOUNT ON

DELETE FROM [msmerge_sessions] WHERE [agent_id] IN (SELECT [id] FROM [msmerge_agents] WHERE [publication] = @.Publication AND [subscriber_name] = @.Subscriber AND (@.Database IS NULL OR @.Database = [subscriber_db]))

DELETE FROM [msmerge_agents] WHERE [publication] = @.Publication AND [subscriber_name] = @.Subscriber AND (@.Database IS NULL OR @.Database = [subscriber_db])
