Remarks

Notification Services creates the NSQuantumFailures stored procedure in the application database when you create the instance. When you update the application, Notification Services recompiles the stored procedure.

This stored procedure is in the application's schema, which is specified by the SchemaName element of the application definition file (ADF). If no schema name is provided, the default schema is dbo.

Permissions

Execute permissions default to members of the NSAnalysis database role, the db_owner fixed database role, and the sysadmin fixed server role.

Examples

The following example shows how to create the failed quantum report for an application.

The application uses the default SchemaName settings, which places all application objects in the dbo schema.

EXEC dbo.NSQuantumFailures;
