Replication Wizards

SQL Server includes various replication wizards and numerous dialog boxes to simplify the steps necessary to build and manage replication.

• The Configure Publishing and Distribution Wizard helps you specify a server to use as a Distributor and other replication components you may need.
• The Create Publication Wizard helps you create a publication from the data in your database.
• The Disable Publishing and Distribution Wizard helps you disable publishing, distribution, or both, on a server.
• The Pull Subscription Wizard helps you "pull" a subscription to a publication on one server into a database on another server.
• The Push Subscription Wizard helps you "push" a subscription from a publication on one server to one or more servers or server groups.
• The Replication Conflict Viewer helps you review the manner in which conflicts were resolved and make changes to these resolutions.

After you have used the wizards to configure replication initially and create publications and articles, you can change most of the initial settings through dialog boxes.
