MSSQL on Linux: Failed to add column to table

Microsoft.SQLServer.Linux.EventRule.DBEngine.Failed_to_add_column__to_table__1_5_Rule (Rule)

sp_repladdcolumn failed to add the specified column to the table in the publication database. If another error is reported along with this one, the other error should indicate the reason the column could not be added. If no other error is reported, the problem could be that the owner-qualified table does not exist, or the data type is not one that can be added to a replicated table. The data type of the new column must be either an identity, computed, or timestamp column; allow nulls; or have a default. For more information about sp_repladdcolumn, see "Schema Changes on Publication Databases" in Docs Online.

Resolutions

If another error occurred along with this one, troubleshoot it first. If no additional error occurred, verify that the specified table exists and that the table owner is valid and is mapped to a valid login. Verify that the data type specified is valid.
