How do I add new articles with transactional replication?

Question

Suppose I'm using transactional replication to replicate articles from one server to another (both running SQL Server 2000). This is setup and working great.

Then, I decide to add a new article. First, I add it to the publication via Publication Properties > Articles > Objects to Publish.

Then, what do I do?

It'd be nice if I could have the new article replicate without having to generate a new snapshot from scratch...and then wipe out the subscriber and rebuild it from scratch. That's an awful lot of work for just adding 1 table.

Answer 1

You need to generate a new snapshot, but only the changes will be replicated. See:
