Arguments
- [ @job_id= ] job_id
Job identification number of the job to which the schedule is added. job_id is uniqueidentifier, with no default.
[ @job_name= ] 'job_name'

Either job_id or job_name must be specified, but both cannot be specified.
- [ @name= ] 'name'
Name of the schedule. name is nvarchar(128), with no default.
- [ @enabled= ] enabled_flag
Indicates the current status of the schedule. enabled_flag is tinyint, with a default of 1 (enabled). If 0, the schedule is not enabled. When the schedule is disabled, the job will not be run.
[ @freq_type= ] frequency_type
Value that indicates when the job is to be executed. frequency_type is int, with a default of 0, and can be one of the following values:Value Description 1
Once
4
Daily
8
Weekly
16
Monthly
32
Monthly, relative to frequency_interval.
64
Run when the SQL Server Agent service starts.
128
Run when the computer is idle.
[ @freq_interval= ] frequency_interval
Day that the job is executed. frequency_interval is int, with a default of 0, and depends on the value of frequency_type as indicated in the following table:Value Effect 1 (once)
frequency_interval is unused.
4 (daily)
Every frequency_interval days.
8 (weekly)
frequency_interval is one or more of the following (combined with an OR logical operator):
1 = Sunday
2 = Monday
4 = Tuesday
8 = Wednesday
16 = Thursday
32 = Friday
64 = Saturday
16 (monthly)
On the frequency_interval day of the month.
32 (monthly relative)
frequency_interval is one of the following:
1 = Sunday
2 = Monday
3 = Tuesday
4 = Wednesday
5 = Thursday
6 = Friday
7 = Saturday
8 = Day
9 = Weekday
10 = Weekend day

Specifies the units for frequency_subday_interval. frequency_subday_type is int, with no default, and can be one of the following values:Value Description (unit) 0x1
At the specified time
0x4
Minutes
0x8
Hours
- [ @freq_subday_interval= ] frequency_subday_interval
Number of frequency_subday_type periods to occur between each execution of the job. frequency_subday_interval is int, with a default of 0.
[ @freq_relative_interval= ] frequency_relative_interval
Further defines the frequency_interval when frequency_type is set to 32 (monthly relative).frequency_relative_interval is int, with no default, and can be one of the following values:
Value Description (unit) 1
First
2
Second
4
Third
8

- [ @freq_recurrence_factor= ] frequency_recurrence_factor
Number of weeks or months between the scheduled execution of the job. frequency_recurrence_factor is used only if frequency_type is set to 8, 16, or 32. frequency_recurrence_factor is int, with a default of 0.
