This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The Add method appends the object specified to an appropriate SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) collection.
For any collection exposing the Add method, the method implements Microsoft SQL Server component creation. Component creation can occur as the SQL-DMO object is added to its containing collection, or at some other application-directed time.
For more information about component creation by using the Add method of the SQL-DMO collection, see documentation for SQL-DMO objects and collections.
If an application calls Addwith the MergeArticles object after the initial snapshot has been created, a new snapshot must be generated and reapplied to each subscription. Snapshots are applied when the next scheduled snapshot and merge agent run. If an application calls Addwith the TransPublication object after the initial snapshot has been created, a new snapshot must be generated. Snapshots are applied when the next scheduled snapshot agent runs.
