To create a transactional publication

1. Create a new TransPublication object.
   
   
2. Set the Name property.
   
   
3. Note that the ReplicationFrequency property defaults to SQLDMORepFreq_Continuous, which specifies a transactional publication.

   • To enable push subscriptions, use SQLDMOPubAttrib_AllowPush.
     
     
   • To enable pull subscriptions, use SQLDMOPubAttrib_AllowPull.
     
     
   • To enable anonymous subscriptions, use SQLDMOPubAttrib_AllowPull, SQLDMOPubAttrib_AllowAnonymous, and SQLDMOPubAttrib_ImmediateSync.
     
     
   • To enable Internet subscriptions, use SQLDMOPubAttrib_InternetEnabled.
5. Add the TransPublication object to the TransPublications collection of a connected ReplicationDatabase object.
