1 = Snapshot files are stored in the location specified by alt_snapshot_folder.

alt_snapshot_folder nvarchar(255) Location of the alternate folder for the snapshot.
pre_snapshot_script nvarchar(255) Pointer to an .sql file that the Merge Agent will run before any of the replication object scripts when applying the snapshot at the Subscriber.
post_snapshot_script nvarchar(255) Pointer to an .sql file that the Merge Agent will run after all the other replication object scripts and data have been applied during an initial synchronization.
compress_snapshot bit Specifies whether the snapshot written to the alt_snapshot_folder location is compressed into the Microsoft® CAB format. 0 specifies that the file is not compressed.
ftp_address sysname Network address of the FTP service for the Distributor. Specifies where publication snapshot files are located for the Merge Agent to pick up, if FTP is enabled.
ftp_port int Port number of the FTP service for the Distributor.

max_concurrent_merge int Maximum number of concurrent merge processes. A value of 0 for this property means that there is no limit to the number of concurrent merge processes running at any given time. This property sets a limit as to the number of concurrent merge processes that can be run against a merge publication at one time. If there are more snapshot processes scheduled at the same time than the value allows to run, then the excess jobs will be put into a queue and wait until a currently-running merge process finishes.
max_concurrent_dynamic_snapshots int Maximum number of concurrent dynamic snapshot sessions that can be running against the merge publication. If 0, there is no limit to the maximum number of concurrent dynamic snapshot sessions that can run simultaneously against the publication at any given time. This property sets a limit as to the number of concurrent snapshot processes that can be run against a merge publication at one time. If there are more snapshot processes scheduled at the same time than the value allows to run, then the excess jobs will be put into a queue and wait until a currently-running merge process finishes.
