What Immediate_sync means in Transactional Replication José Moreira Neto Microsoft SQL Server Escalation Services sp_addpublication parameter: [ @immediate_sync=] ‘immediate_synchronization’ Immediate_sync has a default of FALSE.  independent_agent must be true for immediate_synchronization to be true . Immediate_sync feature instructs Replication to maintain Snapshot BCP files and distributed transactions in the Distribution database should a new subscriber be created (or reinit) within the Retention period.  By default, this information is purged as soon as existing subscribers receive the transactions.  By keeping the Snapshot and transactions for hours or days, new subscribers can 1) Use old snapshot files, and 2) apply all pending changes since the snapshot.  New Subscribers (or reinit) would not need to have a “fresh” snapshot generated. IF TRUE If true , the synchronization files are created or re-created each time the Snapshot Agent runs.

A colleague pointed me to a recent blog post that shows a new way to learn about Visual Studio 2010 test tools.  Brian Keller is a Microsoft Technical Evangelist for Visual Studio Application Lifecycle Management.  He created an interactive tool that enables someone to quickly go from an overview of Visual Studio 2010 test / build / lab management capabilities down to a detailed video demonstrating a concept.  It is really cool.  The tool uses Microsoft Deep Zoom and Microsoft Silverlight.  From the Deep Zoom site : Deep Zoom provides the ability to interactively view high-resolution images. You can zoom in and out of images rapidly without affecting the performance of your application.

Wow – it’s been a long time coming    I still have memories of putting together the MIX demo of Silverlight running on Windows Mobile several years ago… mainly lots of sleep deprived nights   What a long way we’ve come indeed.  I’m super excited along with the rest of the XNA, Silverlight and Windows Phone organizations to see the announcements coming from Charlie Kindel and Michael Klucher.  Check out their blog posts! Charlie Kindel’s Blog Kluch’s Blog It’s pretty fun to see all of this coming together.  I’ll actually be heading to GDC along with a crew of XNA folks next week.
