Configure max number of events. Sarah Kingswell

sql server notification services:
Hi

Where do I go to configure the SQL 2000 Notification Services. We support
an application which integrates with notification services and we cannot
setup any new database scheme's due to a maximum number of events. I have
no idea where to go on the server to configure this?

Thanks Todd! I'm glad you've found the book useful. :)

Sarah -

Todd's right; SSNS v2.0 is not integrated into Enterprise Manager. All
configuration changes must be made by altering the XML-based configuration
files (ICF and ADF) and running NSControl to update the
instance/application.

SSNS 2005 is fully integrated into SQL Server. It no longer requires and
extended stored procedure and it can be managed through Management Studio.
But, probably not in the way you are hoping. You still must make changes
to the configuration files and then apply them through Management Studio
or through the NSControl utility.

There is the concept of an event throttle, but I'd doubt that's really
what you're referring to. Can you elaborate a bit on what's causing you
some grief?

Joe

Thanks for the advice, I guess I need to get this.

Our app returns the following error

The program cannot complete the scheme due to the limit of completed
schemes. You can delete one of the existing completed schemes and then
complete the scheme.

According to a microsoft technet article the cause is because the number of
deployed notification schemes is limited in SQL Server Notification
Services. We have 40 completed schemes running but I need over 50!

Does this help?

Okay some more news for you on this.. Microsoft have come back to me and
explained that 'by design' the sql notification services can only handle a
maximum of 25 schemes. HELP!!!! Customer needs this working tomorrow. :-)

You really can't configure SSNS by flipping switches in Property Dialog boxes
like you do with SQL Server. You need to modify the Instance Configuration
File (ICF)and Application Diefinition FIle (ADF), both of which are XML
documents.

Do yourself a favor and spend the $12 to get Joe Webb's book an the subject
before you start messing around with and xml files.

Can you elaborate on "maximum number of events"?

Actually, Joe, I have not read your book, but I do have several Rational
Guides on the shelf. I know their style and I have read many of your
responses in this TechNet forum.

My guess is that if Sarah needs to get up to speed QUICKLY on SSNS, your 120
pages is going to be a better choice for her than Pather's 600!

Sarah:

When a NS Instance gets created, the databases it creates get copied from
the Model. It may be flooded with unused schemas. My guess is that you had a
whole bunch of users pre-defined in your Model database when it got upgraded
to SQL 2005, so each user had its own schema, which really are not needed.


Just a thought: Are you using SQL Server 2000 or 2005? If the latter, then
try this:

Open your Model database using SQL Server Management Studio. Expand the
Security node, then expand the Schemas node. Delete all schemas listed except
the following 4:

Hi

Customer is using SQL 2000. I take it your suggestion will not work on this
version. I may have a solution this end which involves reducing the number
or required schemas. Customer is going live tomorrow on a new web project
and I need to get this running even if it is a temporary workaround. I will
have a look at the suggested reading material after the site are in and
running. Cheers for all your help.

Hi Sarah - I think you are referring to the number of subscription class
schemas you can have in a SSNS application, right? Yes there is a limit,
but I don't remember off hand what it is - 25 sounds right though.

Perhaps you can reduce the number using the following techniques?
