如何:建立提取訂閱 (RMO 程式設計)

您可以使用「複寫管理物件 (RMO)」以程式設計的方式建立提取訂閱。用於建立提取訂閱的 RMO 類別依該訂閱所屬的發行集類型而定。

若要建立快照式或交易式發行集的提取訂閱

  1. 使用 ServerConnection 類別建立到「訂閱者」和「發行者」的連接。

  2. 使用步驟 1 中的「發行者」連接建立 TransPublication 類別的執行個體。指定 NameDatabaseNameConnectionContext

  3. 呼叫 LoadProperties 方法。如果此方法傳回 false,則表示步驟 2 中指定的屬性不正確,或伺服器上不存在該發行集。

  4. Attributes 屬性和 AllowPull 之間執行位元運算邏輯 AND (Visual C# 中的 & 和 Visual Basic 中的 And)。如果結果為 None,則將 Attributes 設為 AttributesAllowPull 之間位元運算邏輯 OR (Visual C# 中的 | 和 Visual Basic 中的 Or) 的結果。然後呼叫 CommitPropertyChanges 以啟用提取訂閱。

  5. 如果訂閱資料庫不存在,可使用 Database 類別建立它。如需詳細資訊,請參閱<建立、改變和移除資料庫>。

  6. 建立 TransPullSubscription 類別的執行個體。

  7. 設定下列訂閱屬性:

  8. 呼叫 Create 方法。

  9. 使用步驟 2 中 TransPublication 類別的執行個體,呼叫 MakePullSubscriptionWellKnown 方法,以使用「發行者」註冊提取訂閱。如果此註冊已存在,則會發生例外狀況。

若要建立合併式發行集的提取訂閱

  1. 使用 ServerConnection 類別建立到「訂閱者」和「發行者」的連接。

  2. 使用步驟 1 中的「發行者」連接建立 MergePublication 類別的執行個體。指定 NameDatabaseNameConnectionContext

  3. 呼叫 LoadProperties 方法。如果此方法傳回 false,則表示步驟 2 中指定的屬性不正確,或伺服器上不存在該發行集。

  4. Attributes 屬性和 AllowPull 之間執行位元運算邏輯 AND (Visual C# 中的 & 和 Visual Basic 中的 And)。如果結果為 None,則將 Attributes 設為 AttributesAllowPull 之間位元運算邏輯 OR (Visual C# 中的 | 和 Visual Basic 中的 Or) 的結果。然後呼叫 CommitPropertyChanges 以啟用提取訂閱。

  5. 如果訂閱資料庫不存在,可使用 Database 類別建立它。如需詳細資訊,請參閱<建立、改變和移除資料庫>。

  6. 建立 MergePullSubscription 類別的執行個體。

  7. 設定下列訂閱屬性:

  8. 呼叫 Create 方法。

  9. 使用步驟 2 中 MergePublication 類別的執行個體,呼叫 MakePullSubscriptionWellKnown 方法,以使用「發行者」註冊提取訂閱。如果此註冊已存在,則會發生例外狀況。
