sql server replication: HOST_NAME() should work fine with pull subscriptions. Anyway whether push or
pull, you can use -HOSTNAME value in the merge agent's job commandline to
override the returned value. Often you want to filter on something that has
more relevance to the business this way. For an image of setting the
HOSTNAME take a look at the article on www.replicationanswers.com/articles.
It relates to SQL 2005 but the job image is still relevant.

Hi,

I have one publisher and two subscribers, i want to filter the data
dynamiclly before sending it to the subscriber(s), my question is, how to
know the current subscriber when the merge agent implement the filtering
criteria, i tried to use Host_Name() function to know the current subscriber
but it returns the value of the publisher.

If you have any idea(s) or alternative way or any additional configuration i
have to do for this, please let answer me ASAP

Thanks Paul,

I've set the HOST_NAME() property for each subscriber merge agent to be its
host name and then worked fine and the data being filtered between servers as
i want.

Thanks again
