Property Value

Type: System.String
A String value used for filtering.

Implements

ISnapshotGenerationAgent.DynamicFilterHostName

Remarks

The value specified for DynamicFilterHostName is used when generating the partitioned snapshot for a subscription defined based-on a parameterized row filter that uses the HOST_NAME function. For example, if the subset filter clause LoginID = HOST_NAME() is specified for an article, and you set the DynamicFilterHostName property to "adventure-works\garrett1" before calling the Merge Agent, only rows having "adventure-works\garrett1" in the login_id column will be replicated.

The DynamicFilterHostName property is only supported for merge publications.

You should not specify a value for DynamicFilterHostName when specifying a value for DynamicFilterLogin.

            string publisherName = publisherInstance;
            string distributorName = publisherInstance;
