Replicate from database A to database B on, different servers

  • Hi

     

    Have 2 servers. On server 1 database A should be replicated to server 2 database B.

    When I create a publication from database A, it assigns automat. database A on the second server.

     

    Anyone got any idea how can i tell SQL that it should be database  B ?

    Thx

  • If you created the subscriber using T-SQL, then in the following query, you would specify the "SubscriberName" to be Server2 and the SubscriptionName should be specified as "DatabaseB"

    EXECUTE sp_addsubscription @Publication = 'PublicationName'

    , @article = 'ArticleName'

    , @subscriber = 'SubscriberName'

    , @destination_db = 'SubscriptionName'

    , @sync_type = N'automatic'

    , @update_mode = 'sync tran'

    , @dts_package_location = N'distributor'

    If you are setting up the subscriber using enterprise Manager, when you try to Push a new subscription, you will be prompted for the Subscribername which should be Server2 and the Subscription name which should be DatabaseB.

    Hope this helps.
