Database Subscription context menu

When you right-click a database subscription in the right pane, you can choose from:

Activate – activates a subscription. This menu item is active only when you have indicated you are using bulk materialization to materialize the database.
Validate – validates a subscription. This menu item is active only when you have indicated you are using bulk materialization to materialize the database.
Delete – removes the database subscription from the environment.
Properties – opens the Database Subscription Properties dialog box, which is similar to the properties dialog box for database replication definitions.

See the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1, for more information about materialization methods.
