Remarks

sp_reinitpullsubscription is used in transactional replication.

sp_reinitpullsubscription is not 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 cannot 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.
