How to: Disable Publishing and Distribution (RMO Programming)

  • Artigo

You can disable publishing and distribution programmatically by using Replication Management Objects (RMO).

To disable publishing and distribution

  1. Remove all subscriptions to publications that use the Distributor. For more information, see How to: Delete a Pull Subscription (RMO Programming) and How to: Delete a Push Subscription (RMO Programming).

  2. Remove all publications that use the Distributor, and disable publishing for all databases if the Publisher and Distributor are on the same server. For more information, see How to: Delete a Publication (RMO Programming).

  3. Create a connection to the Distributor by using the Serverconnection class.

  4. Create an instance of the DistributionPublisher class. Specify the name property, and pass the ServerConnection object from step 3.

  5. (Optional) Call the LoadProperties method to get the properties of the object and verify that the Publisher exists. If this method returns false, the Publisher name set in step 4 was incorrect or the Publisher is not used by this Distributor.

  6. Call the Remove method. Pass a value of true for force if the Publisher and Distributor are on different servers, and when the Publisher should be uninstalled at the Distributor without first verifying that publications no longer exist at the Publisher.

  7. Create an instance of the ReplicationServer class. Pass the ServerConnection object from step 3.

  8. Call the UninstallDistributor method. Pass a value of true for force to remove all replication objects at the Distributor without first verifying that all local publication databases have been disabled, and distribution databases have been uninstalled.

Example

This example removes the Publisher registration at the Distributor, drops the distribution database, and uninstalls the Distributor.

// Set the Distributor and publication database names.
// Publisher and Distributor are on the same server instance.
string publisherName = publisherInstance;
string distributorName = publisherInstance;
string distributionDbName = "distribution";
string publicationDbName = "AdventureWorks";

// Create connections to the Publisher and Distributor
// using Windows Authentication.
ServerConnection publisherConn = new ServerConnection(publisherName);
ServerConnection distributorConn = new ServerConnection(distributorName);

// Create the objects we need.
ReplicationServer distributor =
    new ReplicationServer(distributorConn);
DistributionPublisher publisher;
DistributionDatabase distributionDb =
    new DistributionDatabase(distributionDbName, distributorConn);
ReplicationDatabase publicationDb;
publicationDb = new ReplicationDatabase(publicationDbName, publisherConn);

try
{
    // Connect to the Publisher and Distributor.
    publisherConn.Connect();
    distributorConn.Connect();

    // Disable all publishing on the AdventureWorks database.
    if (publicationDb.LoadProperties())
    {
        if (publicationDb.EnabledMergePublishing)
        {
            publicationDb.EnabledMergePublishing = false;
        }

            // and distribution databases must already be uninstalled,
