## Syntax  
  
```  
  
sp_reinitpullsubscription [ @publisher = ] 'publisher'  
        , [ @publisher_db = ] 'publisher_db'  
        , [ @publication = ] 'publication'  
```  
  
## Arguments  
 [ **@publisher=**] **'***publisher***'**  
 Is the name of the Publisher. *publisher* is **sysname**, with no default.  
  
 [ **@publisher_db=**] **'***publisher_db***'**  
 Is the name of the Publisher database. *publisher_db* is **sysname**, with no default.  
  
 [ **@publication=**] **'***publication***'**  
 Is the name of the publication. *publication* is **sysname**, with a default of all, which marks all subscriptions for reinitialization.  
  
## Return Code Values  
 **0** (success) or **1** (failure)  
  
## Remarks  
 **sp_reinitpullsubscription** is used in transactional replication.  
  
 **sp_reinitpullsubscription** is not supported for peer-to-peer transactional replication.  
  
 **sp_reinitpullsubscription** can be called from the Subscriber to reinitialize the subscription, during the next run of the Distribution Agent.  
  
 Subscriptions to publications created with a value of **false** for **@immediate_sync** cannot be reinitialized from the Subscriber.  
  
 You can reinitialize a pull subscription by either executing **sp_reinitpullsubscription** at the Subscriber or **sp_reinitsubscription** at the Publisher.  
  
## Example  
 [!code-sql[HowTo#sp_reinitpullsub](../../relational-databases/replication/codesnippet/tsql/sp-reinitpullsubscriptio_1.sql)]  
  
## Permissions  
 Only members of the **sysadmin** fixed server role or the **db_owner** fixed database role can execute **sp_reinitpullsubscription**.
