How to: Specify Synchronization Schedules (SQL Server Management Studio)

  • Artikkeli

Subscriptions are synchronized by the Distribution Agent (for snapshot and transactional replication) or the Merge Agent (for merge replication). Agents can:

  • Run continuously
  • Run on demand
  • Run on a schedule

Specify synchronization schedules on the Synchronization Schedule page of the New Subscription Wizard. For more information about accessing this wizard, see How to: Create a Push Subscription (SQL Server Management Studio) and How to: Create a Pull Subscription (SQL Server Management Studio).

Modify synchronization schedules in the Job Schedule Properties dialog box, which is available from the Jobs folder in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and from the agent details windows in Replication Monitor. For information about starting Replication Monitor, see How to: Start Replication Monitor (Replication Monitor).

If you specify schedules from the Jobs folder, use the following table to determine the agent job name.

Agent Job name

Merge Agent for pull subscriptions

<Publisher>-<PublicationDatabase>-<Publication>-<Subscriber>-<SubscriptionDatabase>-<integer>

Merge Agent for push subscriptions

<Publisher>-<PublicationDatabase>-<Publication>-<Subscriber>-<integer>

Distribution Agent for push subscriptions

<Publisher>-<PublicationDatabase>-<Publication>-<Subscriber>-<integer>1

Distribution Agent for pull subscriptions

<Publisher>-<PublicationDatabase>-<Publication>-<Subscriber>-<SubscriptionDatabase>-<GUID>2

Distribution Agent for push subscriptions to non-SQL Server Subscribers

<Publisher>-<PublicationDatabase>-<Publication>-<Subscriber>-<integer>

1 For push subscriptions to Oracle publications, it is <Publisher>-<Publisher> rather than <Publisher>-<PublicationDatabase>

2 For pull subscriptions to Oracle publications, it is <Publisher>-<DistributionDatabase> rather than <Publisher>-<PublicationDatabase>

To specify synchronization schedules

  1. On the SynchronizationSchedule page of the New Subscription Wizard, select one of the following values from the Agent Schedule drop-down list for each subscription you are creating:

    • Run continuously
    • Run on demand only
    • <Define Schedule…>

  2. If you select <Define Schedule…>, specify a schedule in the Job Schedule Properties dialog box, and then click OK.

  3. Complete the wizard.
