• Default Subscription Database Name: This property setting identifies the default name applied to all subscription databases when setting up subscribers in Configure Subscription (Tools > Configure Subscription). If you want to use a different default name, type a name in this field.
Note: You also have the option to use a different name than the default when setting up each subscription database. See
Configuring a Subscription for more information if needed.
• Subscription Expiration Warning Threshold: This property setting applies to all subscription databases that have not synchronized with the publication database within the publication retention period.
The warning threshold is the number of days before a subscription expires that a warning message displays indicating the subscriber must synchronize their subscription database. The default value is 10 days. To change the default setting, type a value in this field.
Important: Publication retention period is also referred to as

The publication retention period is set in the field
Subscription expiration in the
