AddAlternatePublisher Method
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The AddAlternatePublisher method adds a server to a list of alternate Publishers. Subscribers to a publication can synchronize with listed alternate Publishers.
Syntax
object
.AddAlternatePublisher(
szAlternatePublisher
,
szAlternatePublicationDB
,
szAlternatePublication
,

[ szFriendlyName ] )

Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT AddAlternatePublisher(
SQLDMO_LPCSTR pszAlternatePublisher,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR pszAlternatePublicationDB,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR pszAlternatePublication,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR pszAlternateDistributor,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR pszFriendlyName);
Remarks
Use the AddAlternatePublisher method to add a server to a list of alternate Publishers to which Subscribers can synchronize. The list is stored at both the Publisher and Subscriber. A Subscriber can run the EnumAlternatePublishers method to obtain a list of enabled alternate Publishers and potential alternate Publishers. Subscribers can then synchronize with any listed enabled alternate Publisher.
Use the RemoveAlternatePublisher method to remove a server from the list of alternate Publishers.
Note
If an application calls AddAlternatePublisher on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000" are returned.
