EnumThirdPartyPublications Method
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The EnumThirdPartyPublications method returns a QueryResults object that enumerates publications originating from heterogenous data sources.
