Articles identify the database objects involved with replication. Replicate articles subscribe to primary articles, and identify the destinations of replicated transactions, which are objects in the replicate database. Each object in the replicate database can be identified by only one replicate article.
Each replicate article identifies both a primary article that is the source of the published data, and a replicate object in the replicate database that is the destination of the published data.
Replicate articles can subscribe to a subset of the columns or parameters that are published in a primary article. Replicate articles can also use a where clause to further select the operations to which they subscribe.
You must create each replicate article in an existing subscription, and that subscription must subscribe to a publication that contains the primary article identified by the replicate article.
