Remarks

The AlertSystem object represents properties set for a single instance of SQL Server Agent. There is a single AlertSystem object for a SQLServer object, and new AlertSystem objects cannot be created.

With the AlertSystem object, you can:

• Register an operator for fail-safe response.
  
  
• Change the look of address lines on e-mail and pager notices sent as part of alert notification.

To change the alert notification behaviors of a SQL Server Agent

1. Get the AlertSystem object from the JobServer object of a connected SQLServer object.
   
   
2. Use the BeginAlter method to mark the start of changes to the object properties.
   
   
3. Change property values to reflect changes in alert notification behavior.
   
   
4. Use the DoAlter method to mark the end of changes and submit them to the SQL Server Agent.
