ValidatePublication Method (MergePublication2)

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 ValidatePublication method invokes inline publication validation for all Subscribers.

Syntax

object
.ValidatePublication( [ ValidationOption ] )

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
  • ValidationOption
    Long integer that specifies the type of validation performed as described in Settings.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT ValidatePublication(SQLDMO_VALIDATIONOPTION_TYPE ValidationOption);

Settings

Set the ValidationOption parameter using these SQLDMO_VALIDATIONOPTION_TYPE values.

Constant Value Description

SQLDMOValidationOption_/70Checksum

0

SQLDMOValidationOption_/80Checksum

2

If an application calls ValidatePublication 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.
