DynamicSnapshotLocation 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 DynamicSnapshotLocation property returns or sets the folder location used during connection to the Publisher.

Syntax

.DynamicSnapshotLocation [=value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    A string that returns or sets the folder location

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetDynamicSnapshotLocation(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetDynamicSnapshotLocation(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Remarks

DynamicSnapshotLocation is a required property of the MergeDynamicSnapshotJob object. After the MergeDynamicSnapshotJob is created, the DynamicSnapshotLocation property cannot be modified. Set the DynamicSnapshotLocation property using the form "c:\dynsnaps\sub1".

Note

SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
