Replication Merge Agent

更新： 2006 年 12 月 12 日

The Replication Merge Agent is an executable that applies the initial snapshot held in the database tables to the Subscribers. It also merges incremental data changes that occurred at the Publisher after the initial snapshot was created, and reconciles conflicts either according to the rules you configure or using a custom resolver you create.

• -QueryTimeOutquery_time_out_seconds
  Is the number of seconds before the query times out. The default is 300 seconds. Beginning with SQL Server 2005 Service Pack (SP2), the Merge Agent also uses the value of QueryTimeout to determine how long to wait for generation of a partitioned snapshot when this value is greater than 1800.

• -SrcThreadsnumber_of_source_threads
  Specifies the number of source threads that the Merge Agent uses to enumerate changes from the source. The source is the Subscriber during upload and the Publisher during download. The default is 3.

• -StartQueueTimeoutstart_queue_timeout_seconds
  Is the maximum number of seconds that the Merge Agent waits when the number of concurrent merge processes running is at the limit set by the @max_concurrent_merge property of sp_addmergepublication. If the maximum number of seconds is reached and the Merge Agent is still waiting, it will exit. A value of 0 means that the agent waits indefinitely, although it can be cancelled.

• -SubscriberDatabasePathsubscriber_database_path
  Is the path to the Jet database (.mdb file) if SubscriberType is 2 (allows a connection to a Jet database without an ODBC Data Source Name (DSN)).

  3	Create a new database, attach the database, and enable all subscriptions that might exist at the file.

  附註：
  When you use values 2 and 3, the database path for the Subscriber must be specified in the SubscriberDatabasePath option.

• -SubscriberLoginsubscriber_login
  Is the Subscriber login name. If SubscriberSecurityMode is 0 (for SQL Server Authentication), this parameter must be specified.

• -SubscriberPasswordsubscriber_password
  Is the Subscriber password. If SubscriberSecurityMode is 0 (for SQL Server Authentication), this parameter must be specified.

  Specifies the security mode of the Subscriber. A value of 0 indicates SQL Server Authentication (default), and a value of 1 indicates Windows Authentication Mode.

• -SubscriberConflictClean [ 0| 1]
  Is if conflict tables are cleaned-up at the Subscriber during the synchronization process, where a value of 1 indicates that conflict tables at the Subscriber are cleaned-up. This parameter is used only for subscriptions to publications with decentralized conflict logging.

• -SubscriberType [ 0| 1| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7| 8]
  Specifies the type of Subscriber connection used by the Merge Agent. Only the default value of 0 is supported for this parameter.

• -SubscriptionType[ 0| 1| 2]
  Specifies the subscription type for distribution. A value of 0 indicates a push subscription (default), a value of 1 indicates a pull subscription, and a value of 2 indicates an anonymous subscription.

• -SyncToAlternate [ 0|1]
  Specifies whether the Merge Agent is synchronizing between a Subscriber and an alternate Publisher. A value of 1 indicates that it is an alternate Publisher. The default is 0.

• -UploadGenerationsPerBatchupload_generations_per_batch
  Is the number of generations to be processed in a single batch while uploading changes from the Subscriber to the Publisher. A generation is defined as a logical group of changes per article. The default for a reliable communication link is 100. The default for an unreliable communication link is 1.

• -UploadReadChangesPerBatchupload_read_changes_per_batch
  Is the number of changes to be read in a single batch while uploading changes from the Subscriber to the Publisher. The default is 100.

• -UploadWriteChangesPerBatchupload_write_changes_per_batch
  Is the number of changes to be applied in a single batch while uploading changes from the Subscriber to the Publisher. The default is 100.

• -UseInprocLoader
  Improves the performance of the initial snapshot by causing the Merge Agent to use the BULK INSERT command when applying snapshot files to the Subscriber. This parameter is deprecated because it is not compatible with the XML data type. If you are not replicating XML data, this parameter can be used. This parameter cannot be used with character mode snapshots. If you use this parameter, the SQL Server service account at the Subscriber must have read permissions on the directory where the snapshot .bcp data files are located. When this parameter is not used, the ODBC driver loaded by the agent reads from the files, so the security context of the SQL Server service account is not used.

• -Validate [0|1|2|3]
  Specifies whether validation should be done at the end of the merge session, and, if so, what type of validation.

  Validate value	Description
  0 (default)	No validation
  1	Rowcount-only validation
  2	Rowcount and checksum validation. This value is only valid for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 Subscribers. For Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Subscribers, this is automatically set to 3.
  3	Rowcount and binary checksum validation

  附註：
  The value of 3 is the recommended value for use with SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005; however, it cannot be used with earlier versions of SQL Server.

• -ValidateIntervalvalidate_interval
  Is how often, in minutes, the subscription is validated in continuous mode. The default is 60 minutes.

備註

重要事項：
If you have installed SQL Server Agent to run under a local system account rather than under a domain user account (the default), the service can access only the local computer. If the Merge Agent that runs under SQL Server Agent is configured to use Windows Authentication Mode when it logs in to SQL Server 2000, the Merge Agent fails. The default setting is SQL Server Authentication.

To start the Merge Agent, execute replmerg.exe from the command prompt. For information, see Replication Agent Executables.
