New Agent Profile

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Managed Instance

Use the New Agent Profile dialog box to create a new profile. New profiles are always based on existing profiles, but they can be modified to meet application requirements. After a profile has been created, it can be applied to existing and future agent jobs in the Agent Profiles dialog box. Agent parameter values can be edited in the <AgentProfileName> Properties dialog box.
