Remarks

With the MergeDynamicSnapshotJob object, you can:

• Remove a dynamic snapshot job from a merge publication.

To add a dynamic snapshot job to a merge publication

1. Create a new MergeDynamicSnapshotJob object.

2. Optionally set the Name property, specifying a name that is unique among all job names at the Distributor.

3. Set the DynamicFilterHostName property to the name of a Subscriber.

4. Set the DynamicFilterLogin property to the login ID of a Subscriber.

5. Set the DynamicSnapshotLocation property to the path where the dynamic snapshot files are generated.

6. Add the MergeDynamicSnapshotJob object to the MergeDynamicSnapshotJobs collection of a connected MergePublication object.

   Note

   If the Name property is not set, a default name is generated in the form of dyn_ + (job name of the regular snapshot job of the publication) + string GUID.

To remove a dynamic snapshot job from a merge publication

1. Get a MergeDynamicSnapshotJob object from the MergeDynamicSnapshotJobs collection of a connected MergePublication object.

2. Use the Remove method to remove the dynamic snapshot job.

   Note

   The MergeDynamicSnapshotJob object is only compatible with instances of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and later.
