Publications (DMM)

A publication specifies the data to replicate and enables remote databases to subscribe to them as a group. You must specify a data connection between the source database and the replication process before you can create a publication. Publications have no symbol in the diagram but are listed on the Publications tab of a replication process property sheet.

A publication can contain the following items:

In the following example, the New York publication contains three articles, each of which contains a table to be replicated.
