| SQLDMOSubSync_Auto | 1 | Subscription agent will synchronize the subscription automatically. |
| SQLDMOSubSync_Default | 1 | SQLDMOSubSync_Auto. |
| SQLDMOSubSync_Manual | 0 | Maintained for backward compatibility. |
| SQLDMOSubSync_None | 2 | Subscription agent will not attempt publication synchronization. User interaction necessary to ensure synchronization. |
Remarks
If an application sets SyncType after the initial snapshot has been created, this subscription will be reinitialized and must by resynchronized. Reinitialization occurs when the next scheduled merge agent runs.
