Validate Subscription
Use the Validate Subscription dialog box to specify that a subscription to a merge publication should be validated the next time the Merge Agent for the subscription runs. The results of validation are displayed in Replication Monitor. For more information, see How to: Validate Data at the Subscriber (SQL Server Management Studio).
It is also possible to validate all subscriptions to a merge publication by right-clicking a publication in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and clicking Validate All Subscriptions.
