Pull to Push subscription

  • OK I know I am dreaming but does anyone know of a way to switch a transactional subscription from Pull to Push without having to regenerate a snapshot?  We have a 166 GB database that they want to change subscription type and I don't want to pull an all nighter dropping and adding the subscription.

  • stop all activity on the publisher - kick all your users off. Drop the subscriber and then do a no sync push. You won't need to regenerate the snapshot and deploy it.

    If you can't kick all your users off use the continue on data consistency errors profile.

  • Thanks I'll try that!  Any ideas how long every one needs to be kicked off for a 160 GB database?

  • Did this work? I'm looking at attempting the same thing...
