HRESULT SetDelayBetweenResponses(long NewValue);
SQLServerAgent sends e-mail or a network pop-up message to an operator, pages an operator, or logs a message in response to a raised alert. An alert can be raised many times in a short period of time. By default, each time the alert is raised, a response is made. Using the DelayBetweenResponses property, the alert can be tailored so that no matter how many times it is raised in a period of time, only a single response is generated.
