Creating database replication definitions

Creating a database replication definition

In the left pane of the object tree, select the server, then the database to which you want to add a replication definition. The directory expands.
In the left pane, select Database Replication Definitions folder. In the right pane, the Add Database Replication Definition icon displays, as well as any existing database replication definitions.
In the right pane, double-click the Add Database Replication Definition icon to open the Database Replication Definition dialog box. The server, database, and replication names display by default.
On the General tab, enter a database replication definition name in the text box.
Select Replicate all DDL to replicate all DDL.
Select the filter tab for the object you want to filter.
Select Replicate All to replicate all of those objects, or Replicate None to replicate none of those objects.
For tables, functions, transactions, and system procedures only, select Exclude Selected Tables (Functions, Transactions, System Procedures) from Replication if you want to individually select objects to exclude in replication; or, select Replicate Only Those Tables (Functions, Transactions, System Procedures) Selected if you want to individually select objects to include in replication.
If you selected to exclude the selected objects from replication, click the specific objects you want to exclude from replication.
If you selected to replicate only the selected objects, click the specific objects you want to replicate.
If you are filtering tables and want to add filtering criteria by hand, enter that information in the text box at the bottom of the filter tab.

If you are filtering transactions, you must enter the filtering criteria by hand.
Click OK.
