Replication Properties

After you configure replication, you can view and modify properties specified in the wizards by using the properties dialog boxes, which are available for the Publisher, the Distributor, Subscribers, publications, articles, and subscriptions. Some publication and article property changes require that a new snapshot be generated and/or that subscriptions be reinitialized. For more information, see Changing Publication and Article Properties.

Publisher and Distributor Properties

After you have configured a Distributor and enabled Publishers using the Configure Distribution Wizard or programming interfaces, view and modify settings using the Publisher Properties - <Publisher> and Distributor Properties - <Distributor> dialog boxes.

Publication Properties

Some options can be specified only when the publication is created; some cannot be changed if there are active subscriptions for the publication; and some changes require a reinitialization of subscriptions. For more information, see Maintaining Publications.
