How to: Delete a Publication (RMO Programming)

You can delete publications programmatically by using Replication Management Objects (RMO). The RMO classes that you use to remove a publication depend on the type of publication you remove.

To remove a snapshot or transactional publication

1. Create a connection to the Publisher by using the ServerConnection class.

2. Create an instance of the TransPublication class.

3. Set the Name and DatabaseName properties for the publication, and set the ConnectionContext property to the connection created in step 1.

4. Check the IsExistingObject property to verify that the publication exists. If the value of this property is false, either the publication properties in step 3 were defined incorrectly or the publication does not exist.

5. Call the Remove method.

6. (Optional) If no other transactional publications exist for this database, the database can be disabled for transactional publishing as follows:

   1. Create an instance of the ReplicationDatabase class. Set the ConnectionContext property to the instance of ServerConnection from step 1.
   2. Call the LoadProperties method. If this method returns false, confirm that the database exists.
   3. Set the EnabledTransPublishing property to false.
   4. Call the CommitPropertyChanges method.

7. Close the connections.

To remove a merge publication

1. Create a connection to the Publisher by using the ServerConnection class.

2. Create an instance of the MergePublication class.

3. Set the Name and DatabaseName properties for the publication, and set the ConnectionContext property to the connection created in step 1.

4. Check the IsExistingObject property to verify that the publication exists. If the value of this property is false, either the publication properties in step 3 were defined incorrectly or the publication does not exist.

5. Call the Remove method.

6. (Optional) If no other merge publications exist for this database, the database can be disabled for merge publishing as follows:

   1. Create an instance of the ReplicationDatabase class. Set the ConnectionContext property to the instance of ServerConnection from Step 1.
   2. Call the LoadProperties method. If this method returns false, verify that the database exists.
   3. Set the EnabledMergePublishing property to false.
   4. Call the CommitPropertyChanges method.

7. Close the connections.

The following example deletes a transactional publication. If no other transactional publications exist for this database, transactional publishing is also disabled.

// using Windows Authentication.
