Return Value

A DataSet object that has the following columns.

Column name	Data type	Description
publisher_db	sysname	Is the name of the Publisher.
publication	sysname	Is the name of a publication.
publication_type	int	Is the type of publication, which can be one of these values. 0 = Transactional publication 1 = Snapshot publication 2 = Merge publication
status	int	Maximum status of all replication agents associated with the publication, which can be one of these values. 1 = Started 2 = Succeeded 3 = In progress 4 = Idle 5 = Retrying 6 = Failed
warning	int	Maximum threshold warning generated by a subscription belonging to the publication, which can be the logical OR result of one or more of these values. 1 = expiration – a subscription to a transactional publication has not been synchronized within the retention period threshold. 2 = latency - the time taken to replicate data from a transactional Publisher to the Subscriber exceeds the threshold, in seconds. 4 = mergeexpiration - a subscription to a merge publication has not been synchronized within the retention period threshold. 8 = mergefastrunduration - the time taken to complete synchronization of a merge subscription exceeds the threshold, in seconds, over a fast network connection. 16 = mergeslowrunduration - the time taken to complete synchronization of a merge subscription exceeds the threshold, in seconds, over a slow or dial-up network connection. 32 = mergefastrunspeed – the delivery rate for rows during synchronization of a merge subscription has failed to maintain the threshold rate, in rows per second, over a fast network connection. 64 = mergeslowrunspeed – the delivery rate for rows during synchronization of a merge subscription has failed to maintain the threshold rate, in rows per second, over a slow or dial-up network connection.
worst_latency	int	The highest latency, in seconds, for data changes propagated by the Log Reader or Distribution Agents for a transactional publication.
best_latency	int	The lowest latency, in seconds, for data changes propagated by the Log Reader or Distribution Agents for a transactional publication.
average_latency	int	The average latency, in seconds, for data changes propagated by the Log Reader or Distribution Agents for a transactional publication.
last_distsync	datetime	Is the last date and time that the Distribution Agent ran.
retention	int	Is the retention period for the publication.
latencythreshold	int	Is the latency threshold set for the transactional publication.
expirationthreshold	int	Is the expiration threshold set for the publication if it is a merge publication.
agentnotrunningthreshold	int	Is the threshold set for the longest time for an agent not to have run.
subscriptioncount	int	Is the number of subscriptions to a publication.
runningdistagentcount	int	Is the number of distribution agents running for the publication.
snapshot_agentname	sysname	Name of the Snapshot Agent job for the publication.
logreader_agentname	sysname	Name of the Log Reader Agent job for the transactional publication.
qreader_agentname	sysname	Name of the Queue Reader Agent job for a transactional publication that supports queued updating.
worst_runspeedPerf	int	Is the longest synchronization time for the merge publication.
best_runspeedPerf	int	Is the shortest synchronization time for the merge publication.
average_runspeedPerf	int	Is the average synchronization time for the merge publication.
retention_period_unit	int	Is the unit used to express retention.

Remarks

The EnumDatabasePublications method can only be called by members of the db_owner or replmonitor fixed database roles on the distribution database.

Calling EnumDatabasePublications is equivalent to executing sp_replmonitorhelppublication.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
