ReInitialize2 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 ReInitialize2 method marks a subscription for reinitialization.
Syntax
object
.ReInitialize2( [ bUploadFirst ] )
Parts
- object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
- bUploadFirst
Optional Boolean that specifies whether to upload all changes from the Subscriber prior to applying the updated snapshot files when reinitializing a subscription.
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT ReInitialize2(BOOL bUploadFirst);
Remarks
Call ReInitialize2 with bUploadFirst set to TRUE to reinitialize a merge subscription, thereby preserving any changes made at the Subscriber since the last synchronization. This optional syntax directs the Merge Agent to upload all changes from the Subscriber before applying the updated snapshot files when processing the reinitialize request.
By default, the bUploadFirst parameter is set to FALSE.
Reinitializing a subscription by using the ReInitialize2 method requires appropriate permissions. The login used for the SQLServer object connection must be a member of the fixed server role sysadmin or fixed database role db_owner in the database referenced by the subscribed-to publication.
Note
If an application calls ReInitialize2 on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0 and bUploadFirst is set to TRUE, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later" are returned. ReInitialize2 can be used with SQL Server 7.0, and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later if bUploadFirst is set to FALSE .
