sql server replication : Adding an Article to a Publication

Hi:

I have a publication with larger sql table articles. I want to add another
article (small table). To start replicating, I will need to reinitialize and
rerun the snaphot. I don't want to run the snapshot during the day time
because it may block other users because publication has some large tables in
it.

Is there anyway that I can replicate just that table to subsriber during the
day time?

Thanks a lot

Hi Mike,

You shouldn't need to reinitialize your existing subscription in order to
get snapshot data for the new article propagated to the subscriber. And if
you have a transactional publication with the immediate_sync property set to
false, the snapshot agent will only generate bcp data for the new article.

Hi Mike,

You can select the value of the immediate_sync property directly from
syspublications at the publisher database.
