ConflictPolicy Property

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 ConflictPolicy property specifies whether the Publisher or Subscriber wins a conflict that occurs during a queued-transaction operation.

Syntax

object.ConflictPolicy [= value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

  • value
    A long integer that specifies a SQLDMO_CONFLICTPOLICY_TYPE constant as described in Settings.

Type

Long integer

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetConflictPolicy(SQLDMO_CONFLICTPOLICY_TYPE *pRetVal);
HRESULT SetConflictPolicy(SQLDMO_CONFLICTPOLICY_TYPE NewValue);

Settings

Set the ConflictPolicy property using these values.

Constant

Value

Description

SQLDMOConflictPolicy_/PublisherWin

1

The Publisher wins the conflict.

SQLDMOConflictPolicy_/ReinitSubscription

3

The subscription is reinitialized.

SQLDMOConflictPolicy_/SubscriberWin

2

The Subscriber wins the conflict.

Remarks

Unlike merge replication, transactional replication does not use a conflict resolver to determine how conflicts that occur during a queued-transaction operation are resolved. Use a SQLDMO_CONFLICTPOLICY_TYPE constant setting to specify that changes made at either the Publisher or Subscriber prevail, or that the subscription must be reinitialized if a conflict occurs.

The default setting is SQLDMOConflictPolicy_/PublisherWin.

Note

If an application calls ConflictPolicyon an instance of Microsoft SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later" are returned.
