Re: newbie: how-to start a transactionnal replication ?



Look under your SQL Server Agent. There should be jobs for snapshot and
distribution, if everything setup correctly.

Now open the Replication Monitor and look to see if the Snapshot Agent has
run. If it has, then check to see if the distribution agent has applied
changes. If one or the other hasn't run, then right click on them and start
them.
