How to: Validate Data at the Subscriber (RMO Programming)

Статья
12/15/2008

Replication enables you to use Replication Management Objects (RMO) to programmatically validate that data at the Subscriber matches data at the Publisher. The objects you use depend on the type of replication topology. Transactional replication requires validation of all subscriptions to a publication.

To validate data for all articles in a transactional publication

Create a connection to the Publisher by using the ServerConnection class.
Create an instance of the TransPublication class. Set the Name and DatabaseName properties for the publication. Set the ConnectionContext property to the connection created in step 1.
Call the LoadProperties method to get the remaining properties of the object. If this method returns false, either the publication properties in step 2 were defined incorrectly or the publication does not exist.
Call the ValidatePublication method. Pass the following:
- ValidationOption
- ValidationMethod
- A Boolean that indicates whether to stop the Distribution Agent after validation is completed.
This marks the articles for validation.
If not already running, start the Distribution Agent to synchronize each subscription. For more information, see Как синхронизировать принудительную подписку (программирование объектов RMO) or Как синхронизировать подписку по запросу (программирование объектов RMO). The result of the validation operation is written to the agent history. For more information, see How to: Programmatically Monitor Replication (RMO Programming).

To validate data in all subscriptions to a merge publication

Create a connection to the Publisher by using the ServerConnection class.
Create an instance of the MergePublication class. Set the Name and DatabaseName properties for the publication. Set the ConnectionContext property to the connection created in step 1.
Call the LoadProperties method to get the remaining properties of the object. If this method returns false, either the publication properties in step 2 were defined incorrectly or the publication does not exist.
Call the ValidatePublication method. Pass the desired ValidationOption.
Run the Merge Agent for each subscription to start validation, or wait for the next scheduled agent run. For more information, see Как синхронизировать подписку по запросу (программирование объектов RMO) and Как синхронизировать принудительную подписку (программирование объектов RMO). The result of the validation operation is written to the agent history, which you view by using Replication Monitor. For more information, see How to: Programmatically Monitor Replication (RMO Programming).

To validate data in a single subscription to a merge publication

Create a connection to the Publisher by using the ServerConnection class.
Create an instance of the MergePublication class. Set the Name and DatabaseName properties for the publication. Set the ConnectionContext property to the connection created in step 1.
Call the LoadProperties method to get the remaining properties of the object. If this method returns false, either the publication properties in step 2 were defined incorrectly or the publication does not exist.
Call the ValidateSubscription method. Pass the name of the Subscriber and subscription database being validated and the desired ValidationOption.
Run the Merge Agent for the subscription to start validation, or wait for the next scheduled agent run. For more information, see Как синхронизировать подписку по запросу (программирование объектов RMO) and Как синхронизировать принудительную подписку (программирование объектов RMO). The result of the validation operation is written to the agent history, which you view by using Replication Monitor.

This example marks all subscriptions to a transactional publication for rowcount validation.

// Define the server, database, and publication names
string publisherName = publisherInstance;

string publicationDbName = "AdventureWorks";

// Create a connection to the Publisher.

    conn.Connect();

    // Set the required properties for the publication.
    publication = new TransPublication();
    publication.ConnectionContext = conn;
    publication.Name = publicationName;
    publication.DatabaseName = publicationDbName;

    // If we can't get the properties for this publication, 
    // throw an application exception.
