No "Allow peer-to-peer subscriptions" option for replication

  • I'm trying to set up peer to peer transactional replication in SQL Server 2008 from Server A (distributor, publisher) to Server B (subscriber) but I think I must be missing a step somewhere. I'm following the MSDN How To: on setting this up and it says:

    1. Expand the Replication folder on Server A, and then expand the Local Publications folder.

    2. Right-click the publication you created, and then click Properties.

    3. In the Publication Properties - dialog box, on the Subscription Options page, select a value of True for the property Allow peer-to-peer subscriptions.

    The problem is my Subscription Options page does not have an "Allow peer-to-peer subscriptions" option on it to set to True.

    I'm assuming I missed something somewhere but have gone back through and can't see anything obvious. Anyone come across this one?

  • Only the Enterprise edition of SQL Server offers peer-to-peer replication.

    Are you running enterprise?

  • Apparently that is the problem. We have Standard, not Enterprise. Thanks Steve.
