Publication Properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a publication property sheet, double-click its Browser entry in the Publications folder. The following sections detail the property sheet tabs that contain the properties most commonly entered for publications.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property	Description
Name	Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users.
Code	Specifies the technical name of the object, which is used for generating code or scripts.
Comment	Specifies a descriptive comment for the object.
Stereotype	Extends the semantics of an object derived from existing objects but specific to your needs. You can enter stereotypes directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in your model's resource file or in an extended model definition.
Process	Specifies the replication process to which the publication belongs.
Data Connection	Specifies the connection for which data or procedures are published. Select an incoming database connection available from the list for the parent replication process.
Type	[Only available with Replication Server parent] Specifies the publication type. Click the Preview tab to see the generated code. You can choose one of the following values: Database – to generate the entire database. Publication – to generate publications, replication definitions and articles. Replication Definition – to generate replication definitions only.

Publication Property Sheet Articles Tab
This tab lets you create, delete or add a tables or views selection taken from the database of the source or remote connection. An article is a PDM table or view to replicate. Before you can add tables or views from the remote database connection, you must define a subscription for the publication.
Publication Property Sheet Procedures Tab
This tab lets you create, delete or add a stored procedure selection taken from the database of the source or remote connection. A procedure is a stored procedure from the source database. Before you can add stored procedures from the remote database connection, you must define a subscription for the publication.
Publication Property Sheet Subscriptions Tab
This tab lets you add a selection of subscriptions taken from a selection of outgoing data connections. A subscription establishes a link between a publication and a database connection to define where data published via the publication must be replicated.
