How to: Manage Partitions for a Merge Publication with Parameterized Filters (SQL Server Management Studio)

Manage partitions on the Data Partitions page of the Publication Properties - <Publication> dialog box. For more information about accessing this dialog box, see How to: View and Modify Publication and Article Properties (SQL Server Management Studio). On this page you can: create and delete partitions; allow Subscribers to initiate snapshot generation and delivery; generate snapshots for one or more partitions; and clean up snapshots.

If you script a replication topology, which is recommended, publication scripts contain the stored procedure calls to create data partitions. The script provides a reference for the partitions created and a way in which to recreate one or more partitions if necessary. For more information, see Scripting Replication.
