0 = None.

status
tinyint
The bitmask of the article options and status, which can be the bitwise logical OR result of one or more of these values:
1 = Article is active.

Note:
The transformable subscriptions feature for transactional replication has been deprecated. Support for this feature in the user interface has been dropped. Using the feature requires installing Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS). For more information, see SQL Server 2005 Integration Services Backward Compatibility. For more information about transformable subscriptions, see Transforming Published Data.
For example, an active article using parameterized statements would have a value of 17 in this column. A value of 0 means that the article is inactive and no additional properties are defined.

tinyint
The type of article:

7 = Log-based article with manual filter and manual view.
8 = Stored procedure execution.
24 = Serializable stored procedure execution.
32 = Stored procedure (schema only).
64 = View (schema only).
