  • Artikel

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Managed Instance

Changes a parameter of a replication agent profile stored in the MSagent_parameters system table. This stored procedure is executed at the Distributor where the agent is running, on any database.

Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

sp_change_agent_parameter
    [ @profile_id = ] profile_id
    , [ @parameter_name = ] N'parameter_name'
    , [ @parameter_value = ] N'parameter_value'
[ ; ]

Arguments

[ @profile_id = ] profile_id

The ID of the profile. @profile_id is int, with no default.

[ @parameter_name = ] N'parameter_name'

The name of the parameter. @parameter_name is sysname, with no default. For system profiles, the parameters that can be changed depend on the type of agent. To find out what type of agent this @profile_id represents, locate the profile_id column in the Msagent_profiles table, and note the agent_type value.

If a parameter is supported for a given agent_type, but isn't defined in the agent profile, an error is returned. To add a parameter to an agent profile, you must execute sp_add_agent_parameter.

  • SyncToAlternate
  • UploadGenerationsPerBatch
  • UploadReadChangesPerBatch
  • UploadWriteChangesPerBatch
  • UseInprocLoader

For a Queue Reader Agent (agent_type = 9), if defined in the profile, the following properties can be changed:

  • HistoryVerboseLevel
  • LoginTimeout
  • Output
  • OutputVerboseLevel
  • PollingInterval
  • QueryTimeout
  • ResolverState
  • SQLQueueMode

To see what parameters are defined for a given profile, run sp_help_agent_profile and note the profile_name associated with the profile_id. With the appropriate profile_id, next run sp_help_agent_parameters using that profile_id to see the parameters associated with the profile. Parameters can be added to a profile by executing sp_add_agent_parameter.

[ @parameter_value = ] N'parameter_value'

The new value of the parameter. @parameter_value is nvarchar(255), with no default.

Return code values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).

Remarks

sp_change_agent_parameter is used in all types of replication.

Permissions

Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can execute sp_change_agent_parameter.
