Child elements

Remarks

If specified, the FileGroup value must match one of the Database element's NamedFileGroup values.

Important

If you update a FileGroup element, updating the application deletes and re-creates the event class to which it corresponds. This includes dropping and re-creating the SQL Server tables and indexes used by this event class. Any data existing in the original SQL Server tables is permanently deleted.

Example

The following example shows how to have Notification Services place the event class tables in the Events filegroup.
