Validate Subscription

Use the Validate Subscription dialog box to specify that a subscription to a merge publication should be validated the next time the Merge Agent for the subscription runs. The results of validation are displayed in Replication Monitor. For more information, see Validate Data at the Subscriber.

It is also possible to validate all subscriptions to a merge publication by right-clicking a publication in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and clicking Validate All Subscriptions.
