Arguments

[ @publication = ] N'publication'

The name of the publication. @publication is sysname, with no default. The publication must already exist.

[ @subscriber = ] N'subscriber'

The name of the Subscriber. @subscriber is sysname, with a default of NULL.

[ @subscriber_db = ] N'subscriber_db'

The name of the subscription database. @subscriber_db is sysname, with a default of NULL.

[ @subscription_type = ] N'subscription_type'

The type of subscription. @subscription_type is nvarchar(15), with a default of push.

  • If push, a push subscription is added and the Merge Agent is added at the Distributor.
  • If pull, a pull subscription is added without adding a Merge Agent at the Distributor.

Note

Anonymous subscriptions don't need to use this stored procedure.

[ @subscriber_type = ] N'subscriber_type'

The type of Subscriber. @subscriber_type is nvarchar(15), and can be one of the following values.

Value Description
local (default) Subscriber known only to the Publisher.
global Subscriber known to all servers.

In SQL Server 2005 (9.x) and later versions, local subscriptions are referred to as client subscriptions, and global subscriptions are referred to as server subscriptions.

[ @subscription_priority = ] subscription_priority

A number indicating the priority for the subscription. @subscription_priority is real, with a default of NULL. For local and anonymous subscriptions, the priority is 0.0. For global subscriptions, the priority must be less than 100.0.

[ @sync_type = ] N'sync_type'

The subscription synchronization type. @sync_type is nvarchar(15), with a default of automatic.

  • If automatic, the schema and initial data for published tables are transferred to the Subscriber first.
  • If none, the Subscriber is assumed to already have the schema and initial data for published tables. System tables and data are always transferred.

Note

We recommend not specifying a value of none.

[ @frequency_type = ] frequency_type

A value indicating when the Merge Agent runs. @frequency_type is int, and can be one of the following values.

Value Description
1 Once
4 Daily
8 Weekly
10 Monthly
20 Monthly, relative to the frequency interval
40 When SQL Server Agent starts
NULL (default)

[ @frequency_interval = ] frequency_interval

The day or days that the Merge Agent runs. @frequency_interval is int, and can be one of the following values.

Value Description
1 Sunday
2 Monday
3 Tuesday
4 Wednesday
5 Thursday
6 Friday
7 Saturday
8 Day
9 Weekdays
10 Weekend days
NULL (default)

[ @frequency_relative_interval = ] frequency_relative_interval

The scheduled merge occurrence of the frequency interval in each month. @frequency_relative_interval is int, and can be one of these values.

Value Description
1 First
2 Second
4 Third
8 Fourth
16 Last
NULL (default)

[ @frequency_recurrence_factor = ] frequency_recurrence_factor

The recurrence factor used by @frequency_type. @frequency_recurrence_factor is int, with a default of NULL.

[ @frequency_subday = ] frequency_subday

The unit for @frequency_subday_interval. @frequency_subday is int, and can be one of the following values.

Value Description
1 Once
2 Second
4 Minute
8 Hour
NULL (default)

[ @frequency_subday_interval = ] frequency_subday_interval

The frequency for @frequency_subday to occur between each merge. @frequency_subday_interval is int, with a default of NULL.

[ @active_start_time_of_day = ] active_start_time_of_day

The time of day when the Merge Agent is first scheduled, formatted as HHmmss. @active_start_time_of_day is int, with a default of NULL.

[ @active_end_time_of_day = ] active_end_time_of_day

The time of day when the Merge Agent stops being scheduled, formatted as HHmmss. @active_end_time_of_day is int, with a default of NULL.

[ @active_start_date = ] active_start_date

The date when the Merge Agent is first scheduled, formatted as yyyyMMdd. @active_start_date is int, with a default of NULL.

[ @active_end_date = ] active_end_date

The date when the Merge Agent stops being scheduled, formatted as yyyyMMdd. @active_end_date is int, with a default of NULL.

[ @optional_command_line = ] N'optional_command_line'

The optional command prompt to execute. @optional_command_line is nvarchar(4000), with a default of NULL. This parameter is used to add a command that captures the output and saves it to a file or to specify a configuration file or attribute.

[ @description = ] N'description'

A brief description of this merge subscription. @description is nvarchar(255), with a default of NULL. This value is displayed by the Replication Monitor in the Friendly Name column, which can be used to sort the subscriptions for a monitored publication.

[ @enabled_for_syncmgr = ] N'enabled_for_syncmgr'

Specifies if the subscription can be synchronized through Microsoft Windows Synchronization Manager. @enabled_for_syncmgr is nvarchar(5), with a default of false.

  • If false, the subscription isn't registered with Synchronization Manager.
  • If true, the subscription is registered with Synchronization Manager and can be synchronized without starting SQL Server Management Studio.

[ @offloadagent = ] offloadagent

Specifies that the agent can be activated remotely. @offloadagent is bit, with a default of 0.

This parameter is deprecated and is maintained for backward compatibility of scripts.

[ @offloadserver = ] N'offloadserver'

Specifies the network name of server to be used for remote agent activation. @offloadserver is sysname, with a default of NULL.

[ @use_interactive_resolver = ] N'use_interactive_resolver'

Allows conflicts to be resolved interactively for all articles that allow interactive resolution. @use_interactive_resolver is nvarchar(5), with a default of false.

[ @merge_job_name = ] N'merge_job_name'

This parameter is deprecated and can't be set. @merge_job_name is sysname, with a default of NULL.

[ @hostname = ] N'hostname'

Overrides the value returned by HOST_NAME when this function is used in the WHERE clause of a parameterized filter. @hostname is sysname, with a default of NULL.

Important

For performance reasons, we recommend that you not apply functions to column names in parameterized row filter clauses, such as LEFT([MyColumn]) = SUSER_SNAME(). If you use HOST_NAME in a filter clause and override the HOST_NAME value, it might be necessary to convert data types using CONVERT. For more information about best practices for this case, see the section "Overriding the HOST_NAME() Value" in the topic Parameterized Filters - Parameterized Row Filters.

Return code values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).

Remarks

sp_addmergesubscription is used in merge replication.

When sp_addmergesubscription is executed by a member of the sysadmin fixed server role to create a push subscription, the Merge Agent job is implicitly created and runs under the SQL Server Agent service account. We recommend that you execute sp_addmergepushsubscription_agent and specify the credentials of a different, agent-specific Windows account for @job_login and @job_password. For more information, see Replication Agent Security Model.

Examples

-- This script uses sqlcmd scripting variables. They are in the form
-- $(MyVariable). For information about how to use scripting variables  
-- on the command line and in SQL Server Management Studio, see the 
-- "Executing Replication Scripts" section in the topic
-- "Programming Replication Using System Stored Procedures".
