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.
sqlUserName
The SQL Server login used to connect to SQL Server.If you are using SQL Server Authentication to connect to SQL Server, specify a login using this parameter. Also specify a password using the sqlPassword parameter.
If you are using Windows Authentication do not specify the sqlUsername and sqlPassword parameters
- sqlPassword
The password associated with the sqlUserName login.
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.
