sql server replication : merge repliaction with snapshot again disabled

Once initialization has taken place in merge replication,
there's usually no reason to have the snapshot agent
running anyway. If you have anonymous subscribers, you
might want to keep a recent snapshot handy, but if your
subscribers are all named and have initialized, I'd
disable the snapshot agent. If reinitialization is
necessary or you add a new article, you can always
manually run the agent's job.

If locking is a severe issue, you could use backup and
restore to do a nosync initialization.

hi all, im concerened that when then snapshot agent runs on my publisher
this will lock the tables, and i cannot guarantee that there will be a
regular period of downtime when i can run with the tables locked, what are
the implications of running my merge replication with the snapshot agent
disabled, after if have created my publications and subscriptions,

Cheers Andrew
