Как создать подписку по запросу (программирование объектов RMO)

Подписки по запросу можно создавать программно с помощью объектов RMO. Конкретные классы RMO, используемые для этого, зависят от типа репликации, к которой относится подписка.

Создание подписки по запросу на публикацию моментальных снимков или транзакций

  1. Создайте соединения с подписчиком и издателем с помощью класса ServerConnection.

  2. Создайте экземпляр класса TransPublication, используя соединение с издателем, созданное на шаге 1. Укажите значения свойств Name, DatabaseName и ConnectionContext.

  3. Вызовите метод LoadProperties. Если метод возвращает значение false, то либо неверно определены свойства, указанные на шаге 2, либо публикация не существует на сервере.

  4. Выполните операцию «поразрядное логическое И» (& в Visual C# и And в Visual Basic) над свойством Attributes и флагом AllowPull. Если результат равен None, присвойте свойству Attributes результат операции «поразрядное логическое ИЛИ» (| в Visual C# и Or в Visual Basic) над свойством Attributes и флагом AllowPull. Затем вызовите метод CommitPropertyChanges, чтобы включить подписку по запросу.

  5. Если база данных подписки не существует, создайте ее с помощью класса Database. Дополнительные сведения по обновлению компонентов SQL Server см. в разделе Создание, изменение и удаление баз данных.

  6. Создайте экземпляр класса TransPullSubscription.

  7. Укажите следующие свойства подписки:

    • соединение (ServerConnection) с подписчиком, созданное на шаге 1, в свойстве ConnectionContext;

    • имя базы данных подписки в свойстве DatabaseName;

    • имя издателя в свойстве PublisherName;

    • имя базы данных публикации в свойстве PublicationDBName;

    • имя публикации в свойстве PublicationName;

    • данные учетной записи пользователя Microsoft Windows, от имени которого на подписчике будет запущен агент распространителя, в свойствах Login, Password или SecurePassword объекта SynchronizationAgentProcessSecurity. Эта учетная запись будет использоваться для создания локальных соединений с подписчиком, а также для удаленных соединений с использованием проверки подлинности Windows.

      ПримечаниеПримечание

      Указывать свойство SynchronizationAgentProcessSecurity необязательно, если подписка создается членом предопределенной роли сервера sysadmin, однако рекомендуется это сделать. В этом случае агент будет выполнять олицетворение учетную запись агента SQL Server. Дополнительные сведения см. в разделе Модель безопасности агента репликации.

    • (необязательно) значение true в свойстве CreateSyncAgentByDefault, чтобы создать задание агента, используемое для синхронизации подписки. Если указано значение false (значение по умолчанию), подписку можно синхронизировать только программно, и поэтому придется указывать дополнительные свойства TransSynchronizationAgent при доступе к этому объекту из SynchronizationAgent. Дополнительные сведения см. в разделе Как синхронизировать подписку по запросу (программирование объектов RMO).

      ПримечаниеПримечание

      В выпуске Microsoft SQL Server Express агент SQL Server не поддерживается. При указании значения true для подписчиков выпуска Express задание агента не создается. Однако метаданные, существенные для работы подписки, сохраняются на подписчике.

    • (необязательно) при соединении с распространителем с проверкой подлинности SQL Server укажите значения свойств SqlStandardLogin и SqlStandardPassword или SecureSqlStandardPassword объекта DistributorSecurity.

  8. Вызовите метод Create.

  9. Используя экземпляр класса TransPublication, созданный на шаге 2, вызовите метод MakePullSubscriptionWellKnown, чтобы зарегистрировать подписку по запросу для данного издателя. Если данная регистрация уже существует, возникнет исключение.

Создание подписки по запросу на публикацию слиянием

  1. Создайте соединения с подписчиком и издателем с помощью класса ServerConnection.

  2. Создайте экземпляр класса MergePublication с помощью соединения с издателем, созданного на шаге 1. Укажите значения свойств Name, DatabaseName и ConnectionContext.

  3. Вызовите метод LoadProperties. Если метод возвращает значение false, то либо неверно определены свойства, указанные на шаге 2, либо публикация не существует на сервере.

  4. Выполните операцию «поразрядное логическое И» (& в Visual C# и And в Visual Basic) над свойством Attributes и флагом AllowPull. Если результат равен None, присвойте свойству Attributes результат операции «поразрядное логическое ИЛИ» (| в Visual C# и Or в Visual Basic) над свойством Attributes и флагом AllowPull. Затем вызовите метод CommitPropertyChanges, чтобы включить подписку по запросу.

  5. Если база данных подписки не существует, создайте ее с помощью класса Database. Дополнительные сведения см. в разделе Создание, изменение и удаление баз данных.

  6. Создайте экземпляр класса MergePullSubscription.

  7. Укажите следующие свойства подписки:

  8. Вызовите метод Create.

  9. Используя экземпляр класса MergePublication, созданный на шаге 2, вызовите метод MakePullSubscriptionWellKnown, чтобы зарегистрировать подписку по запросу для данного издателя. Если данная регистрация уже существует, возникнет исключение.
