Distributor Property (Replication)
The Distributor property specifies the Microsoft SQL Server replication Distributor.
Syntax
object.Distributor [= value]
Parameters
- value
Name of the Distributor used by the Publisher
Applies To
SQL Server Compact 3.5 Replication object
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype
HRESULT get_Distributor(BSTR *pVal);
HRESULT put_Distributor(BSTR newVal);
Remarks
The Distributor is the computer that is running the instance of SQL Server on which the snapshots are stored and on which replication history and statistics are logged.
If the DistributorNetwork and DistributorAddress properties are specified, they are used instead of Distributor when connecting to the Distributor.
Distributor is optional. If none of the Distributor connection properties are specified, it is assumed the Publisher and Distributor are on the same instance of SQL Server, and Publisher connection properties are used when connecting to the Distributor. However, if you set any one of the Distributor properties, you must set all of the required Distributor properties.
