Author  Topic  venugtk Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2004-08-03 : 11:49:26 I have two databases, (DatabaseA) one on ServerA and the other(DatabaseA) on ServerB. I have configured merge replication on these databases. ServerA is the publisher and Server B is the subscriber(configured push subscription from ServerA). My problem: Once in a month i clean the whole database on ServerA and import the data from outside. Whenever i do this, i want the whole database to be cleaned and updated on the serverB. How do i ignore the changes at the subscriber and do a clean sweep and force the data from serverA database to serverB database. Currently replication takes care of pushing the changes to the serverB but this takes a long time to replicate. I want a faster way of doing this. Can anyone please help. Thanks, Paul.
