Table 9-3 lists the RCL commands for working with publications. All of these commands, except check publication, are executed at the source Replication Server, where they require create object permission. Anyone can execute check publication at the source Replication Server—or at the destination Replication Server if the user has the same login and password at both servers.
Table 11-5 lists the RCL commands for working with publication subscriptions.
