CurrentSnapshotDateTime | Gets or sets the date and time when the data snapshot of the partition was generated. |
|
DynamicFilterHostName | Gets or sets the value supplied to the HOST_NAME (Transact-SQL) function to generate the data snapshot, when the parameterized row filter is defined using this function. |
|
DynamicFilterLogin | Gets or sets the value supplied to the SUSER_SNAME (Transact-SQL) function to generate the data snapshot, when the parameterized row filter is defined using this function. |
|
DynamicSnapshotJobId | Gets or sets the Microsoft SQL Server Agent job ID, in hexadecimal format, which generates the filtered snapshot for the Subscriber. |
|
DynamicSnapshotLocation | Gets or sets the operating system folder used to store the filtered snapshot generated for the partition. |
|
PartitionId | Gets or sets the ID value that uniquely identifies the partition. |
|
UserData | Gets or sets an object that allows you to attach custom data to this instance of MergePartition. |
