Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo (in microsoft.sqlserver.rmo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property SynchronizationAgent As MergeSynchronizationAgent

public MergeSynchronizationAgent SynchronizationAgent { get; }

public:
property MergeSynchronizationAgent^ SynchronizationAgent {
    MergeSynchronizationAgent^ get ();
}

/** @property */
public MergeSynchronizationAgent get_SynchronizationAgent ()

public function get SynchronizationAgent () : MergeSynchronizationAgent

Property Value

A MergeSynchronizationAgent object.

Remarks

Call the Synchronize method on the returned MergeSynchronizationAgent object to synchronize the subscription.

You should call CommitPropertyChanges to save any property changes on the server before retrieving SynchronizationAgent to synchronize the subscription.

If the pull subscription is created with a value of false for CreateSyncAgentByDefault, the default, a Merge Agent job for the subscription is not created. You may need to specify additional properties on the returned MergeSynchronizationAgent object before it can be used to synchronize the subscription.

The SynchronizationAgent property can only be retrieved by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Subscriber or by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the subscription database.

Retrieving the SynchronizationAgent property is equivalent to executing sp_helpmergepullsubscription.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
