Replication Views (Transact-SQL)
Applies to: 
SQL Server
These views contain information that is used by replication in Microsoft SQL Server. The views enable easier access to data in replication system tables. Views are created in a user database when that database is enabled as a publication or subscription database. All replication objects are removed from user databases when the database is removed from a replication topology. The preferred method for accessing replication metadata is by using Replication Stored Procedures.
Viktigt
System views should not be altered directly by any user.
The following is a list of the system views used by replication, grouped by database.
