Examples

In the following example, the Synchronize method is called on the instance of the TransSynchronizationAgent class that is accessed from the SynchronizationAgent property to synchronize the push subscription.

// Define the server, publication, and database names.
string subscriberName = subscriberInstance;
string publisherName = publisherInstance;
string publicationName = "AdvWorksProductTran";
string subscriptionDbName = "AdventureWorks2012Replica";
string publicationDbName = "AdventureWorks2012";

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

TransSubscription subscription;

try
{
    // Connect to the Publisher.
    conn.Connect();

    // Define the push subscription.
    subscription = new TransSubscription();
    subscription.ConnectionContext = conn;
    subscription.DatabaseName = publicationDbName;
    subscription.PublicationName = publicationName;
    subscription.SubscriptionDBName = subscriptionDbName;
    subscription.SubscriberName = subscriberName;

    // If the push subscription exists, start the synchronization.
    if (subscription.LoadProperties())
    {
        // Check that we have enough metadata to start the agent.
        if (subscription.SubscriberSecurity != null)
        {
            // Synchronously start the Distribution Agent for the subscription.
            subscription.SynchronizationAgent.Synchronize();
        }
        else
        {
            throw new ApplicationException("There is insufficent metadata to " +
                "synchronize the subscription. Recreate the subscription with " +
                "the agent job or supply the required agent properties at run time.");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        // Do something here if the push subscription does not exist.
        throw new ApplicationException(String.Format(
            "The subscription to '{0}' does not exist on {1}",
            publicationName, subscriberName));
    }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // Implement appropriate error handling here.
    throw new ApplicationException("The subscription could not be synchronized.", ex);
}
finally
{
    conn.Disconnect();
}

Remarks

This method synchronously starts the Distribution Agent. To start the Distribution Agent asynchronously, call SynchronizeWithJob for a pull subscription or SynchronizeWithJob for a push subscription.
