Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo (in Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property LogReaderAgentExists As Boolean
Get
'Usage
Dim instance As ReplicationDatabase
Dim value As Boolean
value = instance.LogReaderAgentExists
public bool LogReaderAgentExists { get; }
public:
property bool LogReaderAgentExists {
bool get ();
}
member LogReaderAgentExists : bool
function get LogReaderAgentExists () : boolean
Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
A Boolean value that specifies whether or not the Log Reader Agent for the publication database has been created. If true, the Log Reader Agent exists. If false, the Log Reader Agent has not yet been created.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ApplicationException | When the database does not exist on the server. When the Log Reader Agent has not been upgraded to the SQL Server 2005 replication agent security model. For more information, see Security and Protection (Replication). |
Remarks
The LogReaderAgentExists property can be retrieved by members of the sysadmin fixed server role and by members of the db_owner fixed database role of the publication database.
The LogReaderAgentExists property is available with SQL Server 2005 only.
Calling LogReaderAgentExists is equivalent to executing the sp_helplogreader_agent (Transact-SQL) stored procedure.
This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework.
