SYMPTOM:
After using the copy repository tool to copy both the Narrowcast object repository and subscription book repository users notice that subscription sets within services are all blank.

CAUSE:
This will occur if the appropriate settings are not used when selecting the options for copying the subscription book.
ACTION:
When selecting the options for copying the subscription book, there are 3 check box options. Ensure all 3 options are selected. The options are to copy "User preferences", Authentication and security", and "Subscriptions".

With these options selected, the subscription sets within services will be maintained correctly.
When these three options are not selected, the copy repository tool will not copy all of the subscription book tables. The tables that are not copied are MSTRSUBPREF, MSTRSUBSCRIPTIONS, MSTRUSERPERS, MSTRUSERPREF, MSTRPREFOBJS, MSTRPREFOBJINFO, MSTREREPDOC, and MSTREREPSUB. Ultimately this leads to services with blank subscription sets.
