SubscriptionType Property

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 SubscriptionType specifies direction and Publisher-visibility for a replication subscription.

SQLDMOSubscription_Pull and SQLDMOSubscription_Anonymous are combined using an OR logical operator.

SQLDMOSubscription_/Anonymous

Subscription is anonymous. It is valid for Subscriber-originated subscriptions only.

SQLDMOSubscription_Default

0

SQLDMOSubscription_Push.

SQLDMOSubscription_Pull

1

The subscription is Subscriber-originated.

SQLDMOSubscription_Push

0

Remarks

The SQL-DMO object used to define a subscription determines whether the subscription is Publisher-originated (push) or Subscriber-initiated (pull). When using SQL-DMO to configure replication, use SubscriptionType when creating anonymous pull subscriptions.
