Using RMO, how can I get the list of Local Subscriptions from SQL Server?

Question

Using SQL Server Management Studio, it is easy to see the list of of Local Subscriptions on the subscriber database under the Replication folder. My question is how do I get that list programmatically . I know that I can use RMO to create a subscription. I want to know how to get a list of all of the existing Local Subscriptions.

Answer 1

The Publication.EnumSubscriptions Method returns the subscriptions that subscribe to a publication. This would be the equivalent of executing sp_helpsubscription or sp_helpmergesubscription.

You can also connect to a Subscriber, get the ReplicationDatabaseCollection, and enumerate through the replicated databases subscriptions. Here is an example:

// Connect to the Subscriber
subscriberName = "SubscriberName";
subscriberConnection = new ServerConnection(subscriberName);
subscriberConnection.Connect();

// Get Subscriber replication databases
ReplicationServer subscriberServer = new ReplicationServer(subscriberConnection);
ReplicationDatabaseCollection subscriberReplicationDatabases = subscriberServer.ReplicationDatabases;

// Enumerate Subscriber replication databases
foreach (ReplicationDatabase subscriptionDatabase in subscriberReplicationDatabases)
{
    foreach (MergePullSubscription mergePullSubscription in subscriptionDatabase.MergePullSubscriptions)
    {
        // do something...
    }
}
