How to: Implement a Business Logic Handler for a Merge Article (Replication Programming)
The Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.BusinessLogicSupport namespace implements an interface that enables you to write complex business logic to handle events that occur during the merge replication synchronization process. Methods in the business logic handler can be invoked by the replication process for each changed row that is replicated during synchronization.
The general process for implementing a business logic handler is:
- Create the business logic hander assembly.
- Register the assembly at the Distributor.
- Deploy the assembly at the server on which the Merge Agent runs. For a pull subscription the agent runs on the Subscriber, and for a push subscription the agent runs on the Distributor. When you are using Web synchronization, the agent runs on the Web server.
- Create an article that uses the business logic handler or modify an existing article to use the business logic handler.
The business logic handler you specify is executed for every row that is synchronized. Complex logic and calls to other applications or network services can impact performance. For more information about business logic handlers, see Exécution de la logique métier lors de la synchronisation de fusion.
To create and deploy a business logic handler
In Microsoft Visual Studio, create a new project for the .NET assembly that contains the code that implements the business logic handler.
Add references to the project for the following namespaces.
Assembly Reference Location Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.BusinessLogicSupport
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\COM (default installation)
GAC (component of the .NET Framework)
GAC (component of the .NET Framework)
Add a class that overrides the BusinessLogicModule class.
Implement the HandledChangeStates property to indicate the types of changes that are handled.
Override one or more of the following methods of the BusinessLogicModule class:
- CommitHandler - invoked when a data change is committed during synchronization.
- DeleteErrorHandler - invoked when an error occurs when a DELETE statement is being uploaded or downloaded.
- DeleteHandler - invoked when DELETE statements are being uploaded or downloaded.
- InsertErrorHandler - invoked when an error occurs when an INSERT statement is being uploaded or downloaded.
- InsertHandler - invoked when INSERT statements are being uploaded or downloaded.
- UpdateConflictsHandler - invoked when conflicting UPDATE statements occur at the Publisher and Subscriber.
- UpdateDeleteConflictHandler - invoked when UPDATE statements conflict with DELETE statements at the Publisher and Subscriber.
- UpdateErrorHandler - invoked when an error occurs when an UPDATE statement is being uploaded or downloaded.
- UpdateHandler - invoked when UPDATE statements are being uploaded or downloaded.
Build the project to create the business logic handler assembly.
Deploy the assembly in the directory that contains the Merge Agent executable file (replmerg.exe), which for a default installation is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\COM, or install it in the .NET global assembly cache (GAC). You should only install the assembly in the GAC if applications other than the Merge Agent require access to the assembly. The assembly can be installed into the GAC using the Global Assembly Cache tool (Gacutil.exe) provided in the .NET Framework SDK.
Remarque : A business logic handler must be deployed on every server on which the Merge Agent runs, which includes the IIS server that hosts the replisapi.dll when using Web synchronization.
To register a business logic handler
At the Publisher, execute sp_enumcustomresolvers (Transact-SQL) to verify that the assembly has not already been registered as a business logic handler.
At the Distributor, execute sp_registercustomresolver (Transact-SQL), specifying a friendly name for the business logic handler for @article_resolver, a value of true for @is_dotnet_assembly, the name of the assembly for @dotnet_assembly_name, and the fully-qualified name of the class that overrides BusinessLogicModule for @dotnet_class_name.
Remarque : If the assembly is not deployed in the same directory as the Merge Agent executable, in the same directory as the application that synchronously starts the Merge Agent, or in the global assembly cache (GAC), you need to specify the full path with the assembly name for @dotnet_assembly_name. When using Web synchronization, you must specify the location of assembly at the Web server.
To use a business logic handler with a new table article
- Execute sp_addmergearticle (Transact-SQL) to define an article, specifying the friendly name of the business logic handler for @article_resolver. For more information, see How to: Define an Article (Replication Transact-SQL Programming).
To use a business logic handler with an existing table article
- Execute sp_changemergearticle (Transact-SQL), specifying @publication, @article, a value of article_resolver for @property, and the friendly name of the business logic handler for @value.

DECLARE @publication AS sysname;
