Settings
Set the FailOverMode parameter using these values.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SQLDMOReplFailOver_Immediate | 0 | Use the immediate updating option to propagate changes made at Subscribers to the Publisher. |
| SQLDMOReplFailOver_Queued | 1 | Use the queued updating option to propagate changes made at Subscribers to the Publisher. |
Remarks
Microsoft SQL Server replication supports toggling between immediate updating and queued updating options. This configuration is also known as immediate updating with queued updating as a failover option. You can invoke failover, or queued updating, when an immediate update on the Subscriber fails because the Publisher is not available. At some later point, when the Publisher becomes available, you can invoke failback, or immediate updating. Set the FailOverMode parameter to SQLDMOReplFailOver_Queued to enable queued updating.
Prior to using WriteReplicationFailOverMode, ensure that the subscription was created using a SQLDMO_TRANSUBSCRIBER_TYPE value of SQLDMOTranSubscriber_Failover.
Note If an application calls WriteReplicationFailOverMode on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000" are returned.
