TransPullSubscription.Reinitialize Method

Marks the pull subscription for reinitialization.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo (in Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Reinitialize
'Usage
Dim instance As TransPullSubscription

instance.Reinitialize()

public void Reinitialize()

public:
void Reinitialize()

member Reinitialize : unit -> unit 

public function Reinitialize()

Remarks

After calling the Reinitialize method, you must start synchronization to reinitialize the subscription. For more information, see How to: Reinitialize a Subscription (RMO Programming).

The Reinitialize method can only be called by members of sysadmin fixed server role at the Subscriber or by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the subscription database.

Calling Reinitialize is equivalent to executing sp_reinitpullsubscription.

The Reinitialize method is available with SQL Server 2000 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework.

Examples

         // Define server, publication, and database names.
            String subscriberName = subscriberInstance;
            String publisherName = publisherInstance;
            String publicationName = "AdvWorksProductTran";
            String publicationDbName = "AdventureWorks2008R2";
            String subscriptionDbName = "AdventureWorks2008R2Replica";

            // Create a connection to the Subscriber.
            ServerConnection conn = new ServerConnection(subscriberName);

            TransPullSubscription subscription;

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