Create a Pull Subscription
This topic describes how create a pull subscription in SQL Server 2012 by using SQL Server Management Studio, Transact-SQL, or Replication Management Objects (RMO).
Setting up a pull subscription for P2P replication is possible by script, but is not available through the wizard.
In This Topic
To create a pull subscription, using:
SQL Server Management Studio
Transact-SQL
Replication Management Objects (RMO)
Using SQL Server Management Studio
Create a pull subscription at the Publisher or the Subscriber using the New Subscription Wizard. Follow the pages in the wizard to:
Specify the Publisher and publication.
Select where replication agents will run. For a pull subscription, select Run each agent at its Subscriber (pull subscriptions) on the Distribution Agent Location page or Merge Agent Location page, depending on the type of publication.
Specify Subscribers and subscription databases.
Specify the logins and passwords used for connections made by replication agents:
For subscriptions to snapshot and transactional publications, specify credentials on the Distribution Agent Security page.
For subscriptions to merge publications, specify credentials on the Merge Agent Security page.
For information about the permissions required by each agent, see Replication Agent Security Model.
Specify a synchronization schedule and when the Subscriber should be initialized.
Specify additional options for merge publications: subscription type; values for parameterized filtering; and information for synchronization through HTTPS if the publication is enabled for Web synchronization.
Specify additional options for transactional publications that allow updating subscriptions: whether Subscribers should commit changes at the Publisher immediately or write them to a queue; credentials used to connect from the Subscriber to the Publisher.
Optionally script the subscription.
To create a pull subscription from the Publisher
Connect to the Publisher in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, and then expand the server node.
Expand the Replication folder, and then expand the Local Publications folder.
Right-click the publication for which you want to create one or more subscriptions, and then click New Subscriptions.
Complete the pages in the New Subscription Wizard.
To create a pull subscription from the Subscriber
Connect to the Subscriber in SQL Server Management Studio, and then expand the server node.
Expand the Replication folder.
Right-click the Local Subscriptions folder, and then click New Subscriptions.
On the Publication page of the New Subscription Wizard, select <Find SQL Server Publisher> or <Find Oracle Publisher> from the Publisher drop-down list.
Connect to the Publisher in the Connect to Server dialog box.
Select a publication on the Publication page.
Complete the pages in the New Subscription Wizard.

Using Transact-SQL
Pull subscriptions can be created programmatically using replication stored procedures. The stored procedures used will depend on the type of publication to which the subscription belongs.
To create a pull subscription to a snapshot or transactional publication
At the Publisher, verify that the publication supports pull subscriptions by executing Using sqlcmd with Scripting Variables.
If the value of allow_pull in the result set is 1, then the publication supports pull subscriptions.
If the value of allow_pull is 0, execute sp_changepublication, specifying allow_pull for @property and true for @value.
At the Subscriber, execute sp_addpullsubscription. Specify @publisher and @publication. For information about updating subscriptions, see Create an Updatable Subscription to a Transactional Publication.
At the Subscriber, execute sp_addpullsubscription_agent. Specify the following:
The @publisher, @publisher_db, and @publication parameters.
The Microsoft Windows credentials under which the Distribution Agent at the Subscriber runs for @job_login and @job_password.
[!UWAGA]
Connections made using Windows Integrated Authentication always use the Windows credentials specified by @job_login and @job_password. The Distribution Agent always makes the local connection to the Subscriber using Windows Integrated Authentication. By default, the agent will connect to the Distributor using Windows Integrated Authentication.
(Optional) A value of 0 for @distributor_security_mode and the Microsoft SQL Server login information for @distributor_login and @distributor_password, if you need to use SQL Server Authentication when connecting to the Distributor.
A schedule for the Distribution Agent job for this subscription. For more information, see Specify Synchronization Schedules.
At the Publisher, execute sp_addsubscription to register the pull subscription. Specify @publication, @subscriber, and @destination_db. Specify a value of pull for @subscription_type.
To create a pull subscription to a merge publication
At the Publisher, verify that the publication supports pull subscriptions by executing sp_helpmergepublication.
If the value of allow_pull in the result set is 1, then the publication supports pull subscriptions.
If the value of allow_pull is 0, execute sp_changemergepublication, specifying allow_pull for @property and true for @value.
At the Subscriber, execute sp_addmergepullsubscription. Specify @publisher, @publisher_db, @publication, and the following parameters:
@subscriber_type – specify local for a client subscription and global for a server subscription.
@subscription_priority – Specify a priority for the subscription (0.00 to 99.99). This is only required for a server subscription.
For more information, see Advanced Merge Replication Conflict Detection and Resolution.
At the Subscriber, execute sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent. Specify the following parameters:
@publisher, @publisher_db, and @publication.
The Windows credentials under which the Merge Agent at the Subscriber runs for @job_login and @job_password.
[!UWAGA]
Connections made using Windows Integrated Authentication always use the Windows credentials specified by @job_login and @job_password. The Merge Agent always makes the local connection to the Subscriber using Windows Integrated Authentication. By default, the agent will connect to the Distributor and Publisher using Windows Integrated Authentication.
(Optional) A value of 0 for @distributor_security_mode and the SQL Server login information for @distributor_login and @distributor_password, if you need to use SQL Server Authentication when connecting to the Distributor.
(Optional) A value of 0 for @publisher_security_mode and the SQL Server login information for @publisher_login and @publisher_password, if you need to use SQL Server Authentication when connecting to the Publisher.
A schedule for the Merge Agent job for this subscription. For more information, see Create an Updatable Subscription to a Transactional Publication.
At the Publisher, execute sp_addmergesubscription. Specify @publication, @subscriber, @subscriber_db, and a value of pull for @subscription_type. This registers the pull subscription.

Using Replication Management Objects (RMO)
The RMO classes used to create a pull subscription depend on the type of publication to which the subscription belongs.
To create a pull subscription to a snapshot or transactional publication
Create connections to both the Subscriber and Publisher by using the ServerConnection Class.
Create an instance of the TransPublication class by using the Publisher connection from step 1. Specify Name, DatabaseName and ConnectionContext.
Call the LoadProperties method. If this method returns false, either the properties specified in step 2 are incorrect or the publication does not exist on the server.
Perform a bitwise logical AND (& in Visual C# and And in Visual Basic) between the Attributes property and AllowPull. If the result is None, set Attributes to the result of a bitwise logical OR (| in Visual C# and Or in Visual Basic) between Attributes and AllowPull. Then, call CommitPropertyChanges to enable pull subscriptions.
If the subscription database does not exist, create it by using the Database class. For more information, see Subscribing to Publications.
Create an instance of the TransPullSubscription class.
Set the following subscription properties:
The ServerConnection to the Subscriber created in step 1 for ConnectionContext.
Name of the subscription database for DatabaseName.
Name of the Publisher for PublisherName.
Name of the publication database for PublicationDBName.
Name of the publication for PublicationName.
The Login and Password or SecurePassword fields of SynchronizationAgentProcessSecurity to provide the credentials for the Microsoft Windows account under which the Distribution Agent runs at the Subscriber. This account is used to make local connections to the Subscriber and to make remote connections using Windows Authentication.
[!UWAGA]
Setting SynchronizationAgentProcessSecurity is not required when the subscription is created by a member of the sysadmin fixed server role, however it is recommended. In this case, the agent will impersonate the SQL Server Agent account. For more information, see Replication Agent Security Model.
(Optional) A value of true for CreateSyncAgentByDefault to create an agent job that is used to synchronize the subscription. If you specify false (the default), the subscription can only be synchronized programmatically and you must specify additional properties of TransSynchronizationAgent when you access this object from the SynchronizationAgent property. For more information, see Synchronize a Pull Subscription.
[!UWAGA]
SQL Server Agent is not available in every edition of Microsoft SQL Server. For a list of features that are supported by the editions of SQL Server, see Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2012. When you specify a value of true for Express Subscribers, the agent job is not created. However, important subscription-related metadata is stored at the Subscriber.
(Optional) Set the SqlStandardLogin and SqlStandardPassword or SecureSqlStandardPassword fields of DistributorSecurity when using SQL Server Authentication to connect to the Distributor.
Call the Create method.
Using the instance of the TransPublication class from step 2, call the MakePullSubscriptionWellKnown method to register the pull subscription with the Publisher. If this registration already exists, an exception occurs.
To create a pull subscription to a merge publication
Create connections to both the Subscriber and Publisher by using the ServerConnection class.
Create an instance of the MergePublication class by using the Publisher connection from step 1. Specify Name, DatabaseName, and ConnectionContext.
Call the LoadProperties method. If this method returns false, either the properties specified in step 2 are incorrect or the publication does not exist on the server.
Perform a bitwise logical AND (& in Visual C# and And in Visual Basic) between the Attributes property and AllowPull. If the result is None, set Attributes to the result of a bitwise logical OR (| in Visual C# and Or in Visual Basic) between Attributes and AllowPull. Then, call CommitPropertyChanges to enable pull subscriptions.
If the subscription database does not exist, create it by using the Database class. For more information, see Creating, Altering and Removing Databases.
Create an instance of the MergePullSubscription class.
Set the following subscription properties:
The ServerConnection to the Subscriber created in step 1 for ConnectionContext.
Name of the subscription database for DatabaseName.
Name of the Publisher for PublisherName.
Name of the publication database for PublicationDBName.
Name of the publication for PublicationName.
The Login and Password or SecurePassword fields of SynchronizationAgentProcessSecurity to provide the credentials for the Microsoft Windows account under which the Merge Agent runs at the Subscriber. This account is used to make local connections to the Subscriber and to make remote connections using Windows Authentication.
[!UWAGA]
Setting SynchronizationAgentProcessSecurity is not required when the subscription is created by a member of the sysadmin fixed server role, however it is recommended. In this case, the agent will impersonate the SQL Server Agent account. For more information, see Replication Agent Security Model.
(Optional) A value of true for CreateSyncAgentByDefault to create an agent job that is used to synchronize the subscription. If you specify false (the default), the subscription can only be synchronized programmatically and you must specify additional properties of MergeSynchronizationAgent when you access this object from the SynchronizationAgent property. For more information, see Synchronize a Pull Subscription.
(Optional) Set the SqlStandardLogin and SqlStandardPassword or SecureSqlStandardPassword fields of DistributorSecurity when using SQL Server Authentication to connect to the Distributor.
(Optional) Set the SqlStandardLogin and SqlStandardPassword or SecureSqlStandardPassword fields of PublisherSecurity when using SQL Server Authentication to connect to the Publisher.
Call the Create method.
Using the instance of the MergePublication class from step 2, call the MakePullSubscriptionWellKnown method to register the pull subscription with the Publisher. If this registration already exists, an exception occurs.
