Validating a publication checks that the publication contains at least one article and marks the publication as valid and ready for subscription. To validate a Replication Server publication, use the following procedure.
Open Enterprise Explorer, and connect to your Replication Server.
Expand the view for your Replication Server connection profile, and expand the view for the primary database containing the replication publication you want to validate.
Expand the Publications folder, right-click the publication you want to validate, and choose Validate Publication from the context menu. The SQL Results view indicates whether or not the validation was successful.
