Hi,
We have an existing merged replication schema that works well. One of the
tables is named audit. Currently this is a bidirectional transfer. However,
we want a new audit table that will transfer data from the subscriber to the
publisher and not the other way round. I have a script that was generated as a backup script when replication was first created. I have no idea which parameter to change in order to have the merge replication going from subscriber to publisher. Any advise is helpful. Thanks.

Couldn't you just remove the object from merge replication and then use transactional replication for it?

Hi Tara,
Thanks for your advise. We already have two other publications that are using merged replication and those are functioning extremely well. Now could I add this new audit table(with my requirement) as a transactional publication? That means both merged and transactional publication will work in unison? Please let me know. Thanks Regards.

I've never done it, but I don't see any reason why that wouldn't be possible. That's the whole point of transactional replication, to be able to do one-way replication from one database to another.

Thanks Tara for your help. I will try transactional on top of merge replication. Regards.
