Re: accumulating shapshot folder in repldata

It is normal to create a date stamped snapshot folder within your main
publication snapshot folder, for example within here

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\repldata\unc\Publisher_P2P1_P2P1

These are normally cleaned up by one of the clean up jobs.

Hi all,
I found that my testing server is accumulating shapshot folder in
repldata.
Everytime, we refresh the tables (snapshot publication), a new folder
created
without the old folders. And I found that there is at most 1 snapshot
folder remain in production server. Any parameter to adjust the retention
period of the snapshot folder? Thanks in advance
