Hi On my production sql environment transaction replication configured 2008 R2 to 2014. I noted that that has been established using backups as image below. "sync_type_desc" is "initialize with backup". not the "automatic"
Therefore when we add new articles to publisher will not sync to subscriber even we run "distributer"/ Snapshot agent.
When run snap shot I don't need to run for snap shot for entire DB as its more critical and huge . I need to sync only new articals. therefore "immediate_sync" and "allow_anonymous" set to zeros .
Question is how to change "sync_type_desc" into "automatic"? then I can safely add article and run snapshot to sync subscribers ...
