VacuumSchedule.Interval Property

Gets or sets the duration the data removal process is allowed to run after it has been started.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property Interval As TimeSpan
public TimeSpan Interval { get; set; }
public:
property TimeSpan Interval {
    TimeSpan get ();
    void set (TimeSpan value);
}
/** @property */
public TimeSpan get_Interval ()

/** @property */
public void set_Interval (TimeSpan value)
public function get Interval () : TimeSpan

public function set Interval (value : TimeSpan)

Property Value

A TimeSpan object that specifies how long the vacuum process is allowed to run.

Remarks

The interval specifies the length of the vacuuming period, and cannot exceed 24 hours.

Vacuuming schedules cannot overlap. If schedules overlap, Notification Services stops the earlier vacuuming process before the later one starts.

Example

The following examples show how to create a schedule for removing obsolete data and then add the schedule to the collection of vacuum schedules for the application:

VacuumSchedule vacuumSchedule1 = new VacuumSchedule(
    myApplication, "1");
vacuumSchedule1.StartTime = new TimeSpan(23, 0, 0);
myApplication.VacuumSchedules.Add(vacuumSchedule1);
Dim vacuumSchedule1 As VacuumSchedule = _
    New VacuumSchedule(myApplication, "1")
vacuumSchedule1.StartTime = New TimeSpan(23, 0, 0)
myApplication.VacuumSchedules.Add(vacuumSchedule1)
