The multi-part identifier "syncobj_" could not be bound

We recently got the below error while executing the a procedure on SQLServer

The multi-part identifier "syncobj_0x3946443335424338.DF_286" could not be bound. (Tested Started By)

Processing...           TAB(13) Complaints 2 - V_TAB_13

The error is confusing becoz the “syncobj_” are related to replication snapshot. Why the procedure calling those objects.

After investigation found that user querying column info from  information_schema.columns in the procedure and there is no filter.

We have added a filter “table_name not like 'syncobj%' " to exclude the “syncobj_” and the procedure is working fine without any issues.

The issue has been resolved.
