Represents the application's generator.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Nmo
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo (in microsoft.sqlserver.smo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class Generator
    Inherits NamedSmoObject

public sealed class Generator : NamedSmoObject

public ref class Generator sealed : public NamedSmoObject

public final class Generator extends NamedSmoObject

public final class Generator extends NamedSmoObject

Remarks

Each application has one generator.

Settings for the generator determine which computer runs the generator and how many threads the generator can use when processing application rules. The values you specify for the generator settings should be considered in terms of a trade-off between improving application performance and monopolizing system resources.

Example

The following examples show how to define a generator and add it to an application:

// Define generator for application
Generator generator = new Generator(myApplication, "Generator");
generator.SystemName = notificationServicesHost;
generator.ThreadPoolSize = 0;
myApplication.Generator = generator;

' Define generator for application
Dim generator As Generator = New Generator( _
    myApplication, "Generator")
generator.SystemName = notificationServicesHost
generator.ThreadPoolSize = 0
myApplication.Generator = generator
