I have one-way merge replication between two SQLServer. One is 2000 Personal, other is MSDE. I made the change "-ExchangeType 1" in order to make merge replication one-way. However it didn't work. Is it because of MSDE or different versions of 2000? Does anyone have an idea? Rishi this is your favourite topic, maybe you have an idea :D

Abdul where did you added this para. Can you post the whole command for the merge agent where u added this new value. I am sure the parametre is not at the right place.

Thanks

Well, it worked. All sql server needs is a stop/start to make changes work.

Stop and re-start of the SQL or just the merge agent ? I should be just re-start of the Merge agent.

Thanks

This is not a big deal but I experienced that start/stop of sql/server is needed.

Actually it could be a big deal occasionally. If you do not want to stop server than it's a problem. Considering this case I again changed a former two-way replication into type 1. Without stopping server, stop/start of merge agent worked. So if you want to change direction of a replication without a start/stop of whole server just restart the merge agent.
