So I have setup T-replication from Publisher (SQL 2014) Distributor (SQL 2014) Subscriber (SQL 2008R2) and initialized it using a snapshot
Checking in the replication monitor I find that the Snapshot agent has completed successfully and Log Reader agent is running.
Now in 'Distributor to Subscriber History' tab just beside the 'Undistributed Commands' Tab
I get the following error.
The process could not bulk copy into table '"dbo"."BEAMDATA"'. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL20037)

End of file reached, terminator missing or field data incomplete
To obtain an error file with details on the errors encountered when initializing the subscribing table, execute the bcp command that appears below. Consult the BOL for more information on the bcp utility and its supported options. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 20253)

I thought this could be some kind of data overflow and hence checked the schema of the table at both Publisher and Distributor and they match exactly.
I cleaned the whole replication setup completely and re did it but still stuck at the very same place for the same table.
Has anyone encountered this before? Ask me if you need more information from my end which I can furnish.
