NotificationClassProtocol Class

Represents a delivery protocol for a notification class.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Nmo
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo (in microsoft.sqlserver.smo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class NotificationClassProtocol
    Inherits NamedSmoObject

public sealed class NotificationClassProtocol : NamedSmoObject

public ref class NotificationClassProtocol sealed : public NamedSmoObject

public final class NotificationClassProtocol extends NamedSmoObject

public final class NotificationClassProtocol extends NamedSmoObject

Remarks

Each notification class must define at least one delivery protocol to deliver notifications.

The delivery protocol must be associated with at least one InstanceDeliveryChannel.

Example

The following examples show how to define an SMTP delivery protocol and then add it to a notification class:

// Define an SMTP protocol for notification delivery
NotificationClassProtocol smtpProtocol = 
    new NotificationClassProtocol(flightNotifications, "SMTP");

// Define fields for the SMTP notifications
ProtocolField smtpProtocolField1 = 
    new ProtocolField(smtpProtocol, "Subject");
smtpProtocolField1.SqlExpression = 
    "'Flight notification: '+CONVERT (NVARCHAR(30), GETDATE())";
smtpProtocol.ProtocolFields.Add(smtpProtocolField1);

ProtocolField smtpBodyField = 
    new ProtocolField(smtpProtocol, "BodyFormat");
smtpBodyField.SqlExpression = "'html'";
smtpProtocol.ProtocolFields.Add(smtpBodyField);

ProtocolField smtpFromField = 
    new ProtocolField(smtpProtocol, "From");
smtpFromField.SqlExpression = @"'sender@adventure-works.com'";
smtpProtocol.ProtocolFields.Add(smtpFromField);

ProtocolField smtpPriorityField = 
    new ProtocolField(smtpProtocol, "Priority");
smtpPriorityField.SqlExpression = "'Normal'";
smtpProtocol.ProtocolFields.Add(smtpPriorityField);

ProtocolField smtpToField = 
    new ProtocolField(smtpProtocol, "To");
smtpToField.SqlExpression = "DeviceAddress";
smtpProtocol.ProtocolFields.Add(smtpToField);

// Define protocol execution settings
smtpProtocol.FailuresBeforeEventLog = 2;
smtpProtocol.FailureEventLogInterval = new TimeSpan(0, 10, 0);
smtpProtocol.FailuresBeforeAbort = 10;
smtpProtocol.MulticastRecipientLimit = 50;
smtpProtocol.WorkItemTimeout = new TimeSpan(0, 20, 0);

// Add the SMTP protocol to the notification class
flightNotifications.NotificationClassProtocols.Add(smtpProtocol);

' Define an SMTP protocol for notification delivery
Dim smtpProtocol As NotificationClassProtocol = _
    New NotificationClassProtocol(flightNotifications, "SMTP")

' Define fields for the SMTP notifications
Dim smtpProtocolField1 As ProtocolField = _
    New ProtocolField(smtpProtocol, "Subject")
smtpProtocolField1.SqlExpression = _
    "'Flight notification: '+CONVERT (NVARCHAR(30), GETDATE())"
smtpProtocol.ProtocolFields.Add(smtpProtocolField1)

Dim smtpBodyField As ProtocolField = _
    New ProtocolField(smtpProtocol, "BodyFormat")
smtpBodyField.SqlExpression = "'html'"
smtpProtocol.ProtocolFields.Add(smtpBodyField)

Dim smtpFromField As ProtocolField = _
    New ProtocolField(smtpProtocol, "From")
smtpFromField.SqlExpression = "'sender@adventure-works.com'"
smtpProtocol.ProtocolFields.Add(smtpFromField)

Dim smtpPriorityField As ProtocolField = _
    New ProtocolField(smtpProtocol, "Priority")
smtpPriorityField.SqlExpression = "'Normal'"
smtpProtocol.ProtocolFields.Add(smtpPriorityField)

Dim smtpToField As ProtocolField = _
    New ProtocolField(smtpProtocol, "To")
smtpToField.SqlExpression = "DeviceAddress"
smtpProtocol.ProtocolFields.Add(smtpToField)

' Define protocol execution settings
smtpProtocol.FailuresBeforeEventLog = 2
smtpProtocol.FailureEventLogInterval = New TimeSpan(0, 10, 0)
smtpProtocol.FailuresBeforeAbort = 10
smtpProtocol.MulticastRecipientLimit = 50
smtpProtocol.WorkItemTimeout = New TimeSpan(0, 20, 0)

' Add the SMTP protocol to the notification class
flightNotifications.NotificationClassProtocols.Add(smtpProtocol)
