DisableMergeSubscription Method
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 DisableMergeSubscription method removes the record of a Subscriber-initiated (pull) subscription from the merge publication Publisher and Distributor.
Syntax
object.DisableMergeSubscription(Subscriber,SubscriptionDatabase,Publication)
Parts
object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.Subscriber
String that specifies an existing Subscriber by name.SubscriptionDatabase
String that specifies the subscribed database by name.Publication
String that specifies an existing merge replication publication by name.
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT DisableMergeSubscription(
SQLDMO_LPCSTR Subscriber,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR SubscriptionDatabase,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR Publication);
Remarks
Removing a pull subscription by using SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) is a two-step process. The application must remove the subscription at the Subscriber, then, separately remove the record of the subscription at the Publisher and Distributor.
To remove a pull subscription to a merge replication publication
Establish SQLServer object connection to the Subscriber.
Extract the MergePullSubscription object referencing the subscription from the Subscriber MergePullSubscriptions collection.
Use the Remove method of the MergePullSubscription object.
Establish a SQLServer object connection to the Publisher.
Use the DisableMergeSubscription method of the ReplicationDatabase object referencing the published database.
