Replication Programming
AlternateSyncPartner Object
An AlternateSyncPartner object defines an alternate Publisher that a subscription referenced by a SQLMerge object can use if the primary Publisher is not available, or if use of the alternate Publisher is preferable (for example, it is reachable by a faster or more reliable network connection).
Properties
Remarks
To select an alternate synchronization partner, the Publisher, PublisherDatabase, Publication, and Distributor properties of the SQLMerge object should be set to the corresponding property values of the AlternateSyncPartner object before the Run method of the SQLMerge object is called.
