Comentários
SQL Server Agent categories are optional attributes that group alerts, jobs, and operators. With the Category object, you can:
Create groupings for alerts, jobs, and operators.
Use the Name property value to view specific jobs when applying a JobFilter object.
The Name property of a Category object uses the Microsoft SQL Server data type sysname. For each type of SQL Server category, the category name must be unique.
The Type property applies only to categories used for SQL Server Agent jobs. When used with a job, the Type property value can be set. Setting it for SQL Server alert or operator categories results in an error.
