Question :
I want to setup a topology for replication.
The scenario is such that a subscriber is subscribed to transaction replication based publisher (distributor running on publisher).
I then want this subscriber to be a publisher to another subscriber. I want the distributor to be on publisher instance (push).
Can some body help me out?
Answer :
Yes, you can achieve the goal and implement replication topology. What I understood from your requirements is depicted in the diagram.
To do this follow these steps:
- Enable distribution on Server 1.
- Create replication, add articles and choose server 1 as publisher and server 2 as subscriber.
- Once articles are replicated, enable distribution on server 2.
- Follow step 2 for servers 2 and 3.
