data_server: The data server with the database containing the subscription’s data.
database: The database containing the subscription’s data.

Examples

Example 1

Displays summary information about all available subscriptions. The “Unknown” status in the RRS column reflects the fact that the current Replication Server has no knowledge of the subscription status at the listed Replication Server (the primary Replication Server):

rs_helpsub

** This Site is primary_rs **
                                                         Status at
 Subscription Name Rep. Def. Name  Replicate DS.DB  A/C RRS      PRS

Usage

If you do not specify any parameters, rs_helpsub lists summary information about all subscriptions defined in the Replication Server. Information include replication definitions, replicate data server and database, autocorrection status, and subscription materialization status at the replicate and primary Replication Server.
If you supply a <subscription_name> string, rs_helpsub displays information about any subscription whose name matches <subscription_name>.
If the <subscription_name> string matches exactly one subscription name, the owner, creation date, and text of the subscription also display.
If the <subscription_name> string does not match exactly one subscription name, summary information displays for any subscriptions whose names match <subscription_name>.
If you also supply a <replication_definition>, rs_helpsub displays information only for subscriptions to that replication definition.
rs_helpsub does not display subscription replication definition. Use rs_helpdbsub to display subscription replication definition.
