[ @restore_delay = ] 'restore_delay'

The amount of time, in minutes, that the secondary server waits before restoring a given backup file. restore_delay is int and cannot be NULL. The default value is 0.

[ @restore_all = ] 'restore_all'

[ @restore_mode = ] 'restore_mode'

0 = restore log with NORECOVERY.

1 = restore log with STANDBY.

restore is bit and cannot be NULL.

[ @disconnect_users = ] 'disconnect_users'

If set to 1, users is disconnected from the secondary database when a restore operation is performed. Default = 0. disconnect_users is bit and cannot be NULL.

[ @block_size = ] 'block_size'

The size, in bytes, that is used as the block size for the backup device. block_size is int with a default value of -1.

[ @buffer_count = ] 'buffer_count'

The total number of buffers used by the backup or restore operation. buffer_count is int with a default value of -1.

[ @max_transfer_size = ] 'max_transfer_size'

The size, in bytes, of the maximum input or output request which is issued by SQL Server to the backup device. max_transfersize is int and can be NULL.

[ @restore_threshold = ] 'restore_threshold'

The number of minutes allowed to elapse between restore operations before an alert is generated. restore_threshold is int and cannot be NULL.

[ @threshold_alert = ] 'threshold_alert'

Is the alert to be raised when the restore threshold is exceeded. threshold_alert is int, with a default of 14420.

[ @threshold_alert_enabled = ] 'threshold_alert_enabled'

Specifies whether an alert will be raised when restore_threshold is exceeded. 1 = enabled; 0 = disabled. threshold_alert_enabled is bit and cannot be NULL.

[ @history_retention_period = ] 'history_retention_period'

Is the length of time in minutes in which the history will be retained. history_retention_period is int. A value of 1440 will be used if none is specified.

sp_change_log_shipping_secondary_database must be run from the master database on the secondary server. This stored procedure does the following:

1. Changes the settings in the log_shipping_secondary_database records as necessary.

2. Changes the local monitor record in log_shipping_monitor_secondary on the secondary server using supplied arguments, if necessary.

Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can run this procedure.

This example illustrates using sp_change_log_shipping_secondary_database to update secondary database parameters for the database LogShipAdventureWorks2008R2.

EXEC master.dbo.sp_change_log_shipping_secondary_database 
 @secondary_database =  'LogShipAdventureWorks2008R2'
,  @restore_delay = 0
,  @restore_all = 1
,  @restore_mode = 0
,  @disconnect_users = 0
,  @threshold_alert = 14420
,  @threshold_alert_enabled = 1
,  @history_retention_period = 14420
