RemoveAlternatePublisher Method

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 RemoveAlternatePublisher method disables an alternate Publisher in the alternate Publishers list.

Syntax

object
.RemoveAlternatePublisher(
szAlternatePublisher
,
szAlternatePublicationDB 
,
szAlternatePublication 
)

Parts

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

  • szAlternatePublisher
    String that specifies the name of the alternate Publisher.

  • szAlternatePublicationDB
    String that specifies the name of the publication database.

  • szAlternatePublication
    String that specifies the name of the publication.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT RemoveAlternatePublisher(
SQLDMO_LPCSTR pszAlternatePublisher, 
SQLDMO_LPCSTR pszAlternatePublicationDB, 
SQLDMO_LPCSTR pszAlternatePublication);

Remarks

Use the RemoveAlternatePublisher method to disable a server in the list of alternate Publishers to which pull subscriptions can synchronize. Subscribers run the EnumAlternatePublishers method to obtain a list of enabled alternate Publishers to which they can synchronize data changes.

Use the AddAlternatePublisher method to enable a server in the list of alternate Publishers to which subscriptions can synchronize.

Note

If an application calls RemoveAlternatePublisher on an instance of 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.
