Trigger can not be decrypted

swade

I am doing a SQL Compare like I have done many times before, but today I get the following warning when i try to deploy a table or a view: The trigger xxxxx cannot be decrypted in one or more of the datasources. its contents cannot be compared and it cannot be synchronized.   Why am I getting this warning and how can i resolve this?

If you want to compare and deploy encrypted objects then you need to be part of the sysadmin role and you need to have the View Server State permission.

I should add, I am comparing a snapshot to the database that was just refreshed from production. I made the snapshot, refreshed the database and am comparing the snapshot to the database.  The tables and views getting the warning have not been modified for 4+ years.

As Tianjao said, this is likely a permissions issue.  Please ensure SQL Compare is connecting to SQL Server with the same login as before, and check whether that user's permissions on the database have changed.
