Attach Subscription

The attachable subscription databases feature allows you to transfer a database with published data and subscriptions from one Subscriber to another. After the database is attached to the new Subscriber, the database at the new Subscriber automatically receives its own pull subscriptions to the publications at those Publishers. The publication must enable copying for a subscription database to be copied and attached to another Subscriber.

The following options are available on the Attach Subscription tab of the Windows Synchronization Manager.
