How solve it ?

Answer 1

You need to create the initial snapshot. Right-click the publication under the Local Publications folder and click View Snapshot Agent Status . Then click Start. Once the snapshot is generated, synchronize your subscription to apply the snapshot.

This is covered in Create and Apply the Initial Snapshot .
