The FrequencyType property specifies the unit for the most significant portion of a Schedule object.
object.FrequencyType [= value]
object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
value
Long integer that specifies a schedule evaluation frequency as described in Settings
Long, enumerated

HRESULT GetFrequencyType(SQLDMO_FREQUENCY_TYPE* pRetVal);
HRESULT SetFrequencyType(SQLDMO_FREQUENCY_TYPE NewValue);
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SQLDMOFreq_Autostart | 64 | Scheduled activity is started when SQL Server Agent service starts. |
| SQLDMOFreq_Daily | 4 | Schedule is evaluated daily. |
| SQLDMOFreq_Monthly | 16 | Schedule is evaluated monthly. |
| SQLDMOFreq_MonthlyRelative | 32 | Schedule is evaluated relative to a part of a month, such as the second week. |
| SQLDMOFreq_OneTime | 1 | Scheduled activity will occur once at a scheduled time or event. |
| SQLDMOFreq_OnIdle | 128 | SQL Server Agent service will schedule the activity for any time during which the processor is idle. |
| SQLDMOFreq_Unknown | 0 | No schedule frequency, or frequency not applicable. |
| SQLDMOFreq_Valid | 255 | Mask to test schedule frequency validity. |
| SQLDMOFreq_Weekly | 8 | Schedule is evaluated weekly. |
Setting FrequencyType may require setting other property values to schedule an activity accurately. For example, setting FrequencyType to SQLDMOFreq_Weekly without setting the FrequencyInterval property to specify days of the week results in an unscheduled activity.
