ReplicationFrequency Property (SQL-DMO)

The ReplicationFrequency property sets the method used to determine article publication.

Applies To

TransPublication Object

Syntax

object.ReplicationFrequency [= value]

Part Description
object Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
value Long integer specifying article publication as described in Settings

Settings
Constant Value Description
SQLDMORepFreq_Continuous 0 Log monitoring or another method is used to determine replicated article content
SQLDMORepFreq_Snapshot 1 Article is replicated at fixed times and is not dependent upon transaction log monitoring or other monitoring processes

Remarks

Microsoft® SQL Server™ supports two types of transactional replication. In the first instance, data is replicated at fixed intervals regardless of any changes made to that data. This type of transactional replication is more often identified as snapshot replication, as the data is simply copied as it exists at a given moment. Transactional replication can also determine replicated values based on changes made to that data. By default, SQL Server replication monitors changes to the transaction log of a database to determine which values are replicated.

Setting the ReplicationFrequency property controls the type of transactional replication defined by the TransPublication object and is part of creating transactional and snapshot replication publications. For more information, see TransPublication Object.

Data Type

Long, enumerated

Modifiable

Read/write when using the SQL-DMO object to create a publication.

Read-only when the object references an existing publication.
