Arguments

[@job_id =] job_id

Is the identification number of the job to which the schedule belongs. job_id is uniqueidentifier, with a default of NULL.

[@job_name =] 'job_name'

Is the name of the job to which the schedule belongs. Each job name must be unique. job_name is sysname, with a default of NULL.

Note Either job_id or job_name must be specified, but both cannot be specified.

[@name =] 'name'

Is the name of the schedule to modify. name is sysname, with no default.

[@new_name =] 'new_name'

Is a new name for the schedule. new_name is sysname, with a default of NULL.

[@enabled =] enabled

Specifies whether the schedule is enabled (1) or not enabled (0). enabled is tinyint, with a default of NULL.

[@freq_type =] freq_type

Specifies how often the job is run. freq_type is int, with a default of NULL, and can be one of these values.

 

Value	Description
1	Once.
4	Daily.
8	Weekly.
16	Monthly.
32	Monthly, relative to the freq_interval.

Value	Description (unit)
0x1	At the specified time
0x4	Minutes
0x8	Hours

[@freq_subday_interval =] freq_subday_interval

Specifies the number of freq_subday_type periods to occur between each execution of the job. freq_subday_interval is int, with a default of NULL.

[@freq_relative_interval =] freq_relative_interval

Specifies the scheduled job’s occurrence of the freq_interval in each month, if freq_interval is 32 (monthly relative). freq_relative_interval is int, with a default of NULL, and can be one of these values.

[@active_start_date =] active_start_date

Is the date on which execution of the job can begin. active_start_date is int, with a default of NULL. Values must be formatted as YYYYMMDD. If active_start_date is not NULL, the date must be greater than or equal to 19900101.

[@active_end_date =] active_end_date

Is the date on which execution of the job can stop. active_end_date is int, with a default of NULL. Values must be formatted as YYYYMMDD.

[@active_start_time =] active_start_time
