How to: Define an Article (RMO Programming)

You can define articles programmatically by using Replication Management Objects (RMO). The RMO classes that you use to define an article depend on the type of publication for which the article is defined.

To define articles for a snapshot or transactional publication

  1. Create a connection to the Publisher by using the ServerConnection class.

  2. Create an instance of the TransArticle class, set the ConnectionContext property to the instance of ServerConnection from step 1, and set the following properties:

    • The name of the article for Name.
    • The name of the publication for PublicationName.
    • The name of the publication database for DatabaseName.
    • (Optional) If the article has a static row filter, specify the filter clause for the FilterClause property.
  3. Call the Create method.

  4. (Optional) If the article has column filters:

    • Call the RemoveReplicatedColumns method to remove columns from the article. Pass a String array of the names of columns to remove. Pass a null value to remove all columns.
    • Call the AddReplicatedColumns method to add columns to the article. Pass a String array of the names of columns to add. Pass a null value to add all columns.

To define articles for a merge publication

  1. Create a connection to the Publisher by using the ServerConnection class.

  2. Create an instance of the MergeArticle class, set the ConnectionContext property to the instance of ServerConnection from step 1, and set the following properties:

    • The name of the article for Name.
    • The name of the publication for PublicationName.
    • The name of the publication database for DatabaseName.
    • (Optional) If the article is horizontally filtered, specify the row filter clause for the FilterClause property. Use this property to specify a static or parameterized row filter. For more information, see Parametrisierte Zeilenfilter.
  3. Call the Create method.

  4. (Optional) If the article has filtered columns:

    • Call the RemoveReplicatedColumns method to remove columns from the article. Pass a String array of the names of columns to remove. Pass a null value to remove all columns.
    • Call the AddReplicatedColumns method to add columns to the article. Pass a String array of the names of columns to add. Pass a null value to add all columns.
  5. (Optional) If the article must be filtered based on the row filter defined on another article, create an instance of the MergeJoinFilter class to define the join filter between two articles. Then, set the following properties:

    • The name of the child article (from step 2) being filtered for the JoinArticleName property.
    • The name of the existing, filtered article to which this article is being joined for the ArticleName property.
    • A name for the join filter for the FilterName property.
    • The expression that defines the join for the JoinFilterClause property.
    • A value of JoinFilter for the FilterTypes property.

    For more information, see Verknüpfungsfilter.

  6. (Optional) Call the AddMergeJoinFilter method on the object that represents the filtered article from step 2. Pass the MergeJoinFilter object from step 5 to create the join filter.

Beispiel

The following example adds an article with row and column filters to a transactional publication.

// Define the Publisher, publication, and article names.
string publisherName = publisherInstance;
string publicationName = "AdvWorksProductTran";
string publicationDbName = "AdventureWorks";
string articleName = "Product";
string schemaOwner = "Production";

TransArticle article;

// Create a connection to the Publisher.
ServerConnection conn = new ServerConnection(publisherName);

// Create a filtered transactional articles in the following steps:
// 1) Create the  article with a horizontal filter clause.
// 2) Add columns to or remove columns from the article.
try
{
    // Connect to the Publisher.
    conn.Connect();

    // Define a horizontally filtered, log-based table article.
    article = new TransArticle();
    article.ConnectionContext = conn;
    article.Name = articleName;
    article.DatabaseName = publicationDbName;
    article.SourceObjectName = articleName;
    article.SourceObjectOwner = schemaOwner;
    article.PublicationName = publicationName;
    article.Type = ArticleOptions.LogBased;
    article.FilterClause = "DiscontinuedDate IS NULL";

    // Ensure that we create the schema owner at the Subscriber.
    article.SchemaOption |= CreationScriptOptions.Schema;

    if (!article.IsExistingObject)
    {
        // Create the article.
        article.Create();
    }
    else
    {
        throw new ApplicationException(String.Format(
            "The article {0} already exists in publication {1}.",
            articleName, publicationName));
    }

    // Create an array of column names to remove from the article.
    String[] columns = new String[1];
    columns[0] = "DaysToManufacture";

    // Remove the column from the article.
    article.RemoveReplicatedColumns(columns);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // Implement appropriate error handling here.
    throw new ApplicationException("The article could not be created.", ex);
}
finally
{
    conn.Disconnect();
}
' Define the Publisher, publication, and article names.
Dim publisherName As String = publisherInstance
Dim publicationName As String = "AdvWorksProductTran"
Dim publicationDbName As String = "AdventureWorks"
Dim articleName As String = "Product"
Dim schemaOwner As String = "Production"

Dim article As TransArticle

' Create a connection to the Publisher.
Dim conn As ServerConnection = New ServerConnection(publisherName)

    ' Define a horizontally filtered, log-based table article.
    article = New TransArticle()
    article.ConnectionContext = conn
    article.Name = articleName
    article.DatabaseName = publicationDbName
    article.SourceObjectName = articleName
    article.SourceObjectOwner = schemaOwner
    article.PublicationName = publicationName
    article.Type = ArticleOptions.LogBased
    article.FilterClause = "DiscontinuedDate IS NULL"

    ' Ensure that we create the schema owner at the Subscriber.
    article.SchemaOption = article.SchemaOption Or _
    CreationScriptOptions.Schema

    If Not article.IsExistingObject Then
        ' Create the article.
        article.Create()
    Else
        Throw New ApplicationException(String.Format( _
         "The article {0} already exists in publication {1}.", _
         articleName, publicationName))
    End If

    ' Create an array of column names to remove from the article.
    Dim columns() As String = New String(0) {}
    columns(0) = "DaysToManufacture"

    ' Remove the column from the article.
    article.RemoveReplicatedColumns(columns)
Catch ex As Exception
    ' Implement appropriate error handling here.
    Throw New ApplicationException("The article could not be created.", ex)
Finally
    conn.Disconnect()
End Try

The following example adds three articles to a merge publication. The articles have column filters, and two join filters are used to propagate a parameterized row filter to the other articles.

// Define the Publisher and publication names.
string publisherName = publisherInstance;
string publicationName = "AdvWorksSalesOrdersMerge";
string publicationDbName = "AdventureWorks";

// Specify article names.
string articleName1 = "Employee";
string articleName2 = "SalesOrderHeader";
string articleName3 = "SalesOrderDetail";

// Specify join filter information.
string filterName12 = "SalesOrderHeader_Employee";
string filterClause12 = "Employee.EmployeeID = " +
    "SalesOrderHeader.SalesPersonID";
string filterName23 = "SalesOrderDetail_SalesOrderHeader";
string filterClause23 = "SalesOrderHeader.SalesOrderID = " +
    "SalesOrderDetail.SalesOrderID";

string salesSchema = "Sales";
string hrSchema = "HumanResources";

MergeArticle article1 = new MergeArticle();

// using a parameterized row filter on Employee.EmployeeID, which is 
// extended to the two other articles using join filters. 
try
{
    // Connect to the Publisher.
    conn.Connect();

    // Create each article. 
    // For clarity, each article is defined separately. 
    // In practice, iterative structures and arrays should 
    // be used to efficiently create multiple articles.

    article2.ConnectionContext = conn;
    article2.Name = articleName2;

    // Create an array of column names to vertically filter out.
    // In this example, only one column is removed.
    String[] columns = new String[1];

    columns[0] = "CreditCardApprovalCode";

    // Remove the column.
    article2.RemoveReplicatedColumns(columns);
