We are trying to install PSTL to make some changes to Inventory Items, which will affect IV00101 (among others). However, we've set up Replication on IV00101 to aid in reporting and sharing data to other servers and so we get the error below when we run PSTL's installer.
While it's easy enough to disable Replication for required tables, my concern is the "with encrypted" option that the error below indicates.
Does the error below mean that I'll have to generate key(s) for replicated tables/columns and then pass them onto each Subscriber if I want to use PSTL with Replication?
OS: Windows Server 2012

Yes, replication can cause issues with our GP processes. We see this with upgrades as well.
Most likely replication is blocking PSTL from disabling triggers on the tables being used when you make changes to the inventory items via PSTL, such as this IV00101 table.
Usually, we end up disabling replication at least on the required tables, as you mentioned.
Thanks
