About Creating a Catalog as a Subscriber
Please note the following about creating a Subscriber Application Catalog for Application Catalog Replication:
• You cannot create a Publication in a Subscriber database.
•
If you choose the Create catalog as a subscriber option, making it a Subscriber database, the
Subscription Manager option under Replication on the Catalog menu is enabled.
•
If you do not choose this option, making it a Publisher database, the Publication Manager option under
Replication on the Catalog menu is enabled.
•
Once you have created a database, you cannot go back and edit the choice you made on this option.
•
Just because you select this option does not mean that this database must contain subscribed data or that all
of its data must be subscribed. It can contain all local data or both local and subscribed data.

Tip • The first time AdminStudio is run, anyone can create an SQL Server database (providing they have access to
aN SQL Server and database creation rights). However, once an AdminStudio Application catalog has been created,
the database creator becomes the Application Catalog administrator, and security rights are in place in
AdminStudio.

Creating New Application Catalogs Using Scripts

Typically, users with administrative privileges in AdminStudio use Create on the Catalog menu to create a new
Application Catalog.
However, because of security concerns, some Database Administrators may be hesitant to grant the database
creation rights that are necessary to create an Application Catalog database using SQL Server to AdminStudio
users. Consequently, the Database Administrator must manually create the database using scripts and provide the
necessary read and write access for users to that database.
