When you create a subscription, the login name that you used to log in to the replicate Replication Server must exist on both the primary Replication Server and the primary Adaptive Server. The login name must have the same password on all three servers.
When you drop a subscription, the replicate Replication Server logs in to the primary Replication Server using the login name and password you used to log in to the replicate Replication Server. Do not change the password of this login name on the primary Replication Server before the drop subscription process is complete.
The RSSD “primary” user login name that is automatically created on the Replication Server is used as the “subscribing user” when routes are created. The rules for a user creating a subscription apply to the RSSD primary user.
Do not create subscriptions as the sa user.
The select command, issued at the primary Replication Server when creating the subscription, does not include a table owner name unless an owner name is specified in the replication definition. If no owner name is specified, make sure that either the user owns the table or the table is owned by the “dbo” user.
Do not change passwords while subscriptions are materializing or dematerializing.
