Examples

This example creates a pull subscription to a merge publication, along with the agent job to synchronize the subscription and related metadata.

// Define the Publisher, publication, and databases.

//Create connections to the Publisher and Subscriber.
ServerConnection subscriberConn = new ServerConnection(subscriberName);
ServerConnection publisherConn = new ServerConnection(publisherName);

// Create the objects that we need.

    // it supports pull subscriptions.

Remarks

CreateSyncAgentByDefault defaults to false.

Specify a value of true for CreateSyncAgentByDefault when you need to schedule synchronization, or when you need to synchronize the subscription from SQL Server Management Studio. Specify a value of false if the Replication Agent will always be started programmatically without using SQL Server Agent.

When you specify a value of false for CreateSyncAgentByDefault, the MergeSynchronizationAgent or TransSynchronizationAgent objects obtained from the SynchronizationAgent or SynchronizationAgent properties will not have enough information to successfully synchronize the subscription. For more information, see How to: Synchronize a Pull Subscription (RMO Programming).

Specifying a value of false for CreateSyncAgentByDefault and calling Create is equivalent to executing sp_addpullsubscription (Transact-SQL) without executing sp_addpullsubscription_agent (Transact-SQL) or executing sp_addmergepullsubscription (Transact-SQL) without executing sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent (Transact-SQL).
