[ ; ]

Arguments

[ @publisher = ] N'publisher'

The name of the Publisher. @publisher is sysname, with no default.

[ @publisher_db = ] N'publisher_db'

The name of the Publisher database. @publisher_db is sysname, with a default of NULL.

[ @publication = ] N'publication'

The name of the publication. @publication is sysname, with a default of all, which marks all subscriptions for reinitialization.

Remarks

sp_reinitpullsubscription is used in transactional replication.

sp_reinitpullsubscription isn't supported for peer-to-peer transactional replication.

sp_reinitpullsubscription can be called from the Subscriber to reinitialize the subscription, during the next run of the Distribution Agent.

Subscriptions to publications created with a value of false for @immediate_sync can't be reinitialized from the Subscriber.

You can reinitialize a pull subscription by either executing sp_reinitpullsubscription at the Subscriber or sp_reinitsubscription at the Publisher.
