Remarks

A replication agent profile can be assigned to a replication agent job only after it has been created on the database, and it can be assigned only to an agent job for the correct type of replication agent.

Calling AssignToAgent loads profile properties from the server. Call CommitPropertyChanges to commit property changes before calling this method.

The AssignToAgent method can be called only by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Distributor.

Calling AssignToAgent is equivalent to executing sp_update_agent_profile (Transact-SQL).
