Cómo crear una suscripción de extracción (programación con RMO)

Las suscripciones de extracción se pueden crear mediante programación usando Objetos de administración de replicación (RMO). Las clases RMO que se utilizan para crear una suscripción de extracción dependen del tipo de publicación al que pertenece la suscripción.

Para crear una suscripción de extracción para una publicación de instantáneas o transaccional

  1. Cree conexiones tanto al suscriptor como al publicador con la clase ServerConnection.

  2. Cree una instancia de la clase TransPublication con la conexión del publicador del paso 1. Especifique Name, DatabaseName y ConnectionContext.

  3. Llame al método LoadProperties. Si este método devuelve false, las propiedades especificadas en el paso 2 son incorrectas o la publicación no existe en el servidor.

  4. Ejecute una operación lógica AND bit a bit (& en Visual C# y And en Visual Basic) entre la propiedad Attributes y AllowPull. Si el resultado es None, establezca Attributes en el resultado de una operación lógica OR bit a bit (| en Visual C# y Or en Visual Basic) entre Attributes y AllowPull. A continuación, llame a CommitPropertyChanges para habilitar las suscripciones de extracción.

  5. Si la base de datos de suscripciones no existe, créela con la clase Database. Para obtener más información, vea Crear, modificar y eliminar bases de datos.

  6. Cree una instancia de la clase TransPullSubscription.

  7. Establezca las siguientes propiedades de la suscripción:

  8. Llame al método Create.

  9. Mediante la instancia de la clase TransPublication del paso 2, llame al método MakePullSubscriptionWellKnown para registrar la suscripción de extracción con el publicador. Si este registro ya existe, se produce una excepción.

Para crear una suscripción de extracción para una publicación de mezcla

  1. Cree conexiones tanto al suscriptor como al publicador con la clase ServerConnection.

  2. Cree una instancia de la clase MergePublication con la conexión del publicador del paso 1. Especifique Name, DatabaseName y ConnectionContext.

  3. Llame al método LoadProperties. Si este método devuelve false, las propiedades especificadas en el paso 2 son incorrectas o la publicación no existe en el servidor.

  4. Ejecute una operación lógica AND bit a bit (& en Visual C# y And en Visual Basic) entre la propiedad Attributes y AllowPull. Si el resultado es None, establezca Attributes en el resultado de una operación lógica OR bit a bit (| en Visual C# y Or en Visual Basic) entre Attributes y AllowPull. A continuación, llame a CommitPropertyChanges para habilitar las suscripciones de extracción.

  5. Si la base de datos de suscripciones no existe, créela con la clase Database. Para obtener más información, vea Crear, modificar y eliminar bases de datos.

  6. Cree una instancia de la clase MergePullSubscription.

  7. Establezca las siguientes propiedades de la suscripción:

  8. Llame al método Create.

  9. Mediante la instancia de la clase MergePublication del paso 2, llame al método MakePullSubscriptionWellKnown para registrar la suscripción de extracción con el publicador. Si este registro ya existe, se produce una excepción.
