CopySnapshot Method (TransPublication2)

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 CopySnapshot method copies the latest snapshot files to the destination folder.

Syntax

object
.CopySnapshot(
szDestinationFolder
,
[
szSubscriberName
]
, 
[
szSubscriberDB
]
)

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
  • pszDestinationFolder
    String that specifies the destination folder.
  • szSubscriberName
    Optional string that identifies the Subscriber by name.
  • szSubscriberDB
    Optional string that identifies the database at the Subscriber.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT CopySnapshot(
SQLDMO_LPCSTR pszDestinationFolder,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR szSubscriberName,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR szSubscriberDB);

Remarks

An application can call the CopySnapshot method only after the TransPublication2 object is created.

The pszDestinationFolder parameter specifies a folder relative to the server computer, not the client computer, if the destination folder is not a UNC path.

Note

If an application calls CopySnapshot on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000" are returned.
