Transaction Replication Without Snapshot

  • Hi Experts,

    I want to build up a Transaction Replication but without Snapshot. I know how to build replication with the Snapshot but this time the request is to build it without snapshot as the snapshot takes a lot of disk space on distributor server. I am using SQL 2008

    Please guild me Step by Step process or if there is any Tutorial for it.

    I appreciate all your help

    Thank you so much

    But again here it is.

    •Set up Publication.

    •Set transaction retention to 120 hours for distribution

    •Disable the distribution clean up job on the distribution DB

    •Setup Publication and set the "allow initalization from backup files" option for the publication

    •Make a full backup of the database on the publisher DB

    •Restore the full backup on the subscriber DB

    •Ran the following stored procedure on the publication database:

    -- Run this on publisher DB

    sp_addsubscription

    @publication ='Publication Name', --Publication Name

    @subscriber='servername', --servername of subscriber

    @destination_db='SubscriberDB Name', -- Database name where you want to replicate the data

    @sync_type = 'initialize with backup',

    @backupdevicetype = 'disk',

    @backupdevicename = 'Location where the backup was placed' --Location where the back up was placed on subscriber.

    go
