Publications (ILM)

A publication specifies published data or procedures for a data connection. You must specify a database connection incoming on its parent replication process before you can create a publication. When a data connection is deleted, all publications attached to it are deleted.

A publication can contain the following items:

Articles – Specifies tables to replicate. For more information, see Articles (ILM).
Procedures – Specifies stored procedures to replicate. For more information, see Procedures (ILM).
Subscriptions – Specifies which data is replicated and where. This list is also available from the replication process property sheet. For more information, see Subscriptions (ILM).
