Hi Raj,

Site: A site is a physical dataset that exists outside the consolidated database (CDB). It is a receiver and/or supplier of data for the replication defined on the CRM Server. There are different site types, such as mobile terminals (mobile clients), an SAP backend system, or non-SAP systems.

Publication: Publications are defined as data containers in which data is grouped together logically. Replication objects can be assigned to a publication. You define publications in order to make them available to subscriptions. You can use these to subscribe to sites (data sets) for the predefined publications

Subscription: Subscriptions are assignments of sites to previously defined publications. They are created and maintained by the system administrator. Only when subscriptions have been made for a site is data made available to this site.

In normal words:

Site is a place / location.

Publication is publishing data.

Subscription is subscription to publication. i.e subcription to published data.

Hope it is clear.

Appreciate helpful and informative replies with good reward points..

Thanks.
