Distributed Transaction Coordinator

Hi,
I understand if I use Immediate update from Subscriber to Pulisher, i will
use the function of DTC, how about if I make a schedule e.g. every 1 hour,
when it runs (Push/Pull), does that use DTC also?
Second ? is do i have to use Remove Server to run or I can use Linked
Server?
Thanks so much
Ed
Ed,
the schedule refers to the distribution agent and applies to commands going
from the publisher to the subscriber. if you want to 'postpone' the relay of
commands from the subscriber to the publisher, you can use queued updating
subscribers. Replication uses remote servers, but linked servers can also be
used for the DTC (have a look at :
