sys.sp_cdc_change_job (Transact-SQL)
Applies to: SQL Server
Modifies the configuration of a change data capture cleanup or capture job in the current database. To view the current configuration of a job, query the dbo.cdc_jobs table, or use sys.sp_cdc_help_jobs.
Transact-SQL syntax conventions
Syntax
sys.sp_cdc_change_job [ [ @job_type = ] N'job_type' ]
[ , [ @maxtrans = ] max_trans ]
[ , [ @maxscans = ] max_scans ]
[ , [ @continuous = ] continuous ]
[ , [ @pollinginterval = ] polling_interval ]
[ , [ @retention ] = retention ]
[ @threshold = ] 'delete threshold'
[ ; ]
Arguments
[ @job_type = ] N'job_type'
Type of job to modify. @job_type is nvarchar(20) with a default of capture
. Valid inputs are capture
and cleanup
.
[ @maxtrans ] = max_trans
Maximum number of transactions to process in each scan cycle. @maxtrans is int, with a default of NULL
, which indicates no change for this parameter. If specified, the value must be a positive integer.
@max_trans is valid only for capture jobs.
[ @maxscans ] = max_scans
Maximum number of scan cycles to execute in order to extract all rows from the log. @maxscans is int, with a default of NULL
, which indicates no change for this parameter.
@max_scan is valid only for capture jobs.
[ @continuous ] = continuous
Indicates whether the capture job is to run continuously (1
), or run only once (0
). @continuous is bit, with a default of NULL
, which indicates no change for this parameter.
When @continuous is
1
, the sys.sp_cdc_scan job scans the log and processes up to (@maxtrans * @maxscans
) transactions. It then waits the number of seconds specified in @pollinginterval before beginning the next log scan.When @continuous is
0
, thesp_cdc_scan
job executes up to @maxscans scans of the log, processing up to @maxtrans transactions during each scan, and then exits.If @continuous is changed from
1
to0
, @pollinginterval is automatically set to0
. A value specified for @pollinginterval other than0
is ignored.If @continuous is omitted or explicitly set to
NULL
and @pollinginterval is explicitly set to a value greater than0
, @continuous is automatically set to1
.
@continuous is valid only for capture jobs.
[ @pollinginterval ] = polling_interval
Number of seconds between log scan cycles. @pollinginterval is bigint, with a default of NULL
, which indicates no change for this parameter.
@pollinginterval is valid only for capture jobs when @continuous is set to 1
.
[ @retention ] = retention
Number of minutes that change rows are to be retained in change tables. @retention is bigint, with a default of NULL
, which indicates no change for this parameter. The maximum value is 52494800
(100 years). If specified, the value must be a positive integer.
@retention is valid only for cleanup jobs.
[ @threshold = ] 'delete threshold'
Maximum number of delete entries that can be deleted using a single statement on cleanup. @threshold is bigint, with a default of NULL
, which indicates no change for this parameter. @threshold is valid only for cleanup jobs.
Return code values
0
(success) or 1
(failure).
Result set
None.
Remarks
If a parameter is omitted, the associated value in the dbo.cdc_jobs table isn't updated. A parameter set explicitly to NULL
is treated as though the parameter is omitted.
Specifying a parameter that is invalid for the job type causes the statement to fail.
Changes to a job don't take effect until the job is stopped by using sys.sp_cdc_stop_job and restarted by using sys.sp_cdc_start_job.
Permissions
Requires membership in the db_owner fixed database role.
Examples
A. Change a capture job
The following example updates the @job_type, @maxscans, and @maxtrans parameters of a capture job in the AdventureWorks2022
database. The other valid parameters for a capture job, @continuous and @pollinginterval, are omitted; their values aren't modified.
USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO
EXECUTE sys.sp_cdc_change_job
@job_type = N'capture',
@maxscans = 1000,
@maxtrans = 15;
GO
B. Change a cleanup job
The following example updates a cleanup job in the AdventureWorks2022
database. All valid parameters for this job type, except @threshold, are specified. The value of @threshold isn't modified.
USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO
EXECUTE sys.sp_cdc_change_job
@job_type = N'cleanup',
@retention = 2880;
GO
