REPL_EXCHANGE_TYPE

Determines whether the synchronization between the Subscriber and Publisher is bidirectional or upload-only.

Members

The following table lists and describes the enumerators of the REPL_EXCHANGE_TYPE enumeration and their corresponding values.

Member name Value Description

BIDIRECTIONAL

3

Snapshot files are accessed by the server agent by using a UNC share name.

UPLOAD

1

Snapshot files are transferred between the server agent and SQL Server by using the FTP protocol.

Remarks

BIDIRECTIONAL is used to first upload data to the Publisher. After the upload is complete, data is then downloaded to the Subscriber. REPL_EXCHANGE_TYPE is forced to BIDIRECTIONAL during initial synchronization or when a ReinitializeSubscription is requested. SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition does not support the DOWNLOAD constant for the REPL_EXCHANGE_TYPE value.
