同步请求订阅
本主题介绍如何使用 SQL Server Management Studio、复制代理或复制管理对象 (RMO) 同步 SQL Server 2014 中的请求订阅。
使用 SQL Server Management Studio
订阅由分发代理(对于快照复制和事务复制)或合并代理(对于合并复制)进行同步。 代理可以连续运行、按需运行或按计划运行。 有关如何指定同步计划的详细信息,请参阅指定同步计划。
在 中的 “本地订阅” SQL Server Management Studio文件夹中,按需同步订阅。
在 Management Studio 中按需同步请求订阅
在 Management Studio中连接到订阅服务器,然后展开服务器节点。
展开 “复制” 文件夹,再展开 “本地订阅” 文件夹。
右键单击要同步的订阅,然后单击 “查看同步状态” 。
在 “查看同步状态 - <订阅服务器>:<订阅数据库> ”对话框中,单击“ 启动”。 完成同步后,将显示消息 “同步完成” 。
单击“关闭”。
复制代理
可通过在命令提示符下调用相应的复制代理可执行文件,以编程方式按需同步请求订阅。 被调用的复制代理可执行文件将取决于请求订阅所属的发布的类型。 有关详细信息,请参阅 Replication Agents。
注意
复制代理使用通过命令提示符启动该代理的用户的 Windows 身份验证凭据连接到本地服务器。 这些 Windows 凭据还在使用 Windows 集成身份验证连接到远程服务器时使用。
通过命令提示符或批处理文件启动分发代理
在命令提示符下或批处理文件中,通过运行 distrib.exe 并指定下列命令行参数来启动 复制分发代理:
-Publisher
-PublisherDB
-Distributor
-DistributorSecurityMode = 1
-Subscriber
-SubscriberDB
-SubscriberSecurityMode = 1
-SubscriptionType = 1
如果您使用的是 SQL Server 身份验证,则还必须指定下列参数:
-DistributorLogin
-DistributorPassword
-DistributorSecurityMode = \@publisher_security_mode
-PublisherLogin
-PublisherPassword
-PublisherSecurityMode = \@publisher_security_mode
-SubscriberLogin
-SubscriberPassword
-SubscriberSecurityMode = 0
在命令提示符下或批处理文件中启动合并代理
在命令提示符下或批处理文件中,通过运行 replmerg.exe 并指定下列命令行参数来启动 复制合并代理:
-Publisher
-PublisherDB
-PublisherSecurityMode = 1
-Publication
-Distributor
-DistributorSecurityMode = 1
-Subscriber
-SubscriberSecurityMode = 1
-SubscriberDB
-SubscriptionType = 1
如果您使用的是 SQL Server 身份验证,则还必须指定下列参数:
-DistributorLogin
-DistributorPassword
-DistributorSecurityMode = \@publisher_security_mode
-PublisherLogin
-PublisherPassword
-PublisherSecurityMode = \@publisher_security_mode
-SubscriberLogin
-SubscriberPassword
-SubscriberSecurityMode = 0
示例(复制代理)
以下示例启动分发代理以同步请求订阅。 所有连接均使用 Windows 身份验证实现。
SET instancename=USERTEST2
REM<snippetbat_synctranpullsub_10>
REM -- Declare the variables.
SET Publisher=%instancename%
SET Subscriber=%instancename%
SET PublicationDB=AdventureWorks2012

REM -- Start the Distribution Agent.
REM -- The following command must be supplied without line breaks.

-Publisher %Publisher% -PublisherDB %PublicationDB% -Distributor %Publisher%

使用复制管理对象 (RMO)
可以使用复制管理对象 (RMO) 和托管代码对复制代理功能的访问权限,以编程方式同步请求订阅。 用于同步请求订阅的类取决于订阅所属的发布的类型。
注意
如果您要启动一个自主运行而不影响应用程序的订阅,请异步启动代理。 但是,如果您要监视同步的结果并在同步进程期间从代理处接收回调(例如,要显示进度栏),则应当同步启动代理。 对于 MicrosoftSQL Server 2005 Express Edition 订阅服务器,必须同步启动代理。
将请求订阅与快照或事务发布进行同步
使用 ServerConnection 类创建与订阅服务器的连接。
创建 TransPullSubscription 类的实例并设置下列属性:
用于 DatabaseName的订阅数据库的名称。
用于 PublicationName的订阅所属的发布的名称。
为 PublicationDBName设置发布数据库的名称。
用于 PublisherName的发布服务器的名称。
在步骤 1 中为 ConnectionContext创建的连接。
调用 LoadProperties 方法以获取其他订阅属性。 如果该方法返回
false
,则确保订阅存在。使用下列方法之一在订阅服务器中启动分发代理:
在步骤 2 中的 SynchronizeWithJob 实例上调用 TransPullSubscription 方法。 该方法异步启动分发代理,并在代理作业运行时立即将控制权返回给您的应用程序。 不能为SQL Server 2005 Express Edition订阅服务器调用此方法,或者如果创建订阅时,其值为
false
(CreateSyncAgentByDefault 默认) 。获取 TransSynchronizationAgent 属性中 SynchronizationAgent 类的实例,然后调用 Synchronize 方法。 该方法可以同步启动代理,并且控制权仍属于运行代理作业。 在执行同步期间,您可以在代理仍旧运行的情况下处理 Status 事件。
注意
如果在创建请求订阅时将 的值
false
指定为 CreateSyncAgentByDefault (默认) ,则还需要Distributor指定 、 DistributorSecurityMode和 (可选DistributorLoginDistributorPassword),因为订阅的代理作业相关元数据在MSsubscription_properties中不可用。
将请求订阅与合并发布进行同步
使用 ServerConnection 类创建与订阅服务器的连接。
创建 MergePullSubscription 类的实例并设置下列属性:
用于 DatabaseName的订阅数据库的名称。
用于 PublicationName的订阅所属的发布的名称。
将 PublicationDBName设置为已发布的数据库的名称。
用于 PublisherName的发布服务器的名称。
在步骤 1 中为 ConnectionContext创建的连接。
调用 LoadProperties 方法以获取其他订阅属性。 如果该方法返回
false
,则确保订阅存在。使用下列方法之一在订阅服务器中启动合并代理:
在步骤 2 中的 SynchronizeWithJob 实例上调用 MergePullSubscription 方法。 该方法异步启动合并代理,并在代理作业运行时立即将控制权返回给您的应用程序。 不能为SQL Server 2005 Express Edition订阅服务器调用此方法,或者如果创建订阅的值为
false
CreateSyncAgentByDefault (默认) 。获取 MergeSynchronizationAgent 属性中 SynchronizationAgent 类的实例,然后调用 Synchronize 方法。 该方法可以同步启动合并代理,并且控件仍属于运行代理作业。 在执行同步期间,您可以在代理仍旧运行的情况下处理 Status 事件。
注意
如果为 CreateSyncAgentByDefault (创建请求订阅时的默认) 指定值
false
,则还需要指定 Distributor、、PublisherSecurityModeDistributorSecurityMode、HostName、SubscriptionType、 ExchangeType和 (可选)DistributorLoginDistributorPassword和 ,PublisherLogin并且PublisherPassword因为订阅的代理作业相关元数据在 MSsubscription_properties中不可用。
