Creating a New Publication

To create a Publication, you use the Publication Wizard to select the packages that you want to include in the
Publication, specify the users that you want to be able to access the Publication, and schedule how often you want
the Publication to be automatically updated. When the Publication Wizard is complete, the SQL Server is
configured for this Publication, and the name of the Publication is listed on the Publication Manager dialog box.
Task: To create a new Publication:
1. On the Catalog menu, point to Replication and select Publication Manager. The Publication Manager
dialog box appears.
Note •
enabled if the current user is connected to an SQL Server database, has been assigned
SQL Enterprise Manager on that database server, and the database was identified when it was created as being
intended for use as a Publisher. See
databases as Subscribers or Publishers.
2. Click New. The Welcome panel of the Publication Wizard appears.
3. Click Next. The Publication Details panel appears.
4. In the Name text box, enter a name to identify this new Publication. This name will be listed on the Publication
Manager dialog box.
Caution •
5. In the Description text box, enter text to describe the purpose of this new Publication. This description will be
listed on the Publication Manager dialog box.
6. Click Change next to the Schedule text box. The Task Scheduling dialog box appears.
7. In the Run the process every list, select how frequently you want this Publication to be automatically
updated on the Publisher Database Server: Day, Week, or Month.
•
If you selected Week, select the day of the week that you want to update this Publication.
•
If you selected Month, select the day of the month that you want to update this Publication.
8. From the Starting on list, select the day or date that you want this Publication to begin being automatically
updated on the day or date you selected from the Run the process every list.
For example, if you want the Publication to be automatically updated on the 15th of each month, you would
select the first day of the first month that you want the automatic updates to begin, not the first day that the
Publication should be updated. If it is Monday and you want the Publication to be updated every Friday, to
have the Publication begin being updated on the upcoming Friday, you would select the current day of the
week (Monday), but if you didn't want the Publication to be updated until the Friday after next, you would
select Saturday.
