How to: Synchronize a Pull Subscription (SQL Server Management Studio)

Subscriptions are synchronized by the Distribution Agent (for snapshot and transactional replication) or the Merge Agent (for merge replication). Agents can:

  • Run on demand
  • Run on a schedule

For more information about specifying synchronization schedules, see How to: Specify Synchronization Schedules (SQL Server Management Studio).
