test replication alerts

  • hi guys, i just enabled my replication alert for agent retry and agent failure, is there a way to test this in a production environment? i don't to remove any rows to trigger the alert, can i just insert a row into the msdb..sysreplicationalerts with alert_error_code= 14151 table?

    What we normally do is setup replication for a sample database (say something like AdventureWorks or a custom DB built with some specific data distribution to simulate our high activity tables) across a couple of desktops and try out everything there...
