Validating a Replication Server Publication

Validate a publication to check that the publication contains at least one article and to mark the publication as valid and ready for subscription.

For more information about Replication Server administrative tasks, see the Replication Server Administration Guide.

  1. Open Enterprise Explorer, and connect to the Replication Server.
  2. Expand the view for the Replication Server connection profile, and expand the view for the primary database containing the replication publication you want to validate.
  3. Expand the Publications folder, right-click the publication you want to validate, and select Validate Publication from the context menu.

    The SQL Results view indicates the status of the validation.
