    instanceName As String, _
    databaseName As String, _

    serverName As String _
)
public static void Repair (

)
public static function Repair (
    instanceName : String, 
    databaseName : String, 
    schemaName : String, 
    serverName : String
)

Parameters

  • instanceName
    The name of the instance of Notification Services for which the metadata information needs to be repaired.
  • databaseName
    The name of the instance database. This value is provided in the instance configuration when creating or updating the instance.
  • schemaName
    The name of the database schema for instance data. This value is provided in the instance configuration when creating or updating the instance.
  • serverName
    The name of the Database Engine instance that hosts the instance database.

Remarks

When you create an instance of Notification Services, information about the instance is recorded in the msdb database. A public view called msdb.NS90.NSInstances is provided over this table, which is used to discover instances on the server.

If you attach a database that contains instance or application data to a server, such as when you rebuild a server or move an instance of Notification Services, the metadata in msdb does not contain information about the instance. As a result, certain functions of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, the nscontrol command-prompt utility, and Notification Services Management Objects (NMO) may not work as expected.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
