sp_syscollector_update_collection_set (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: SQL Server

Used to modify the properties of a user-defined collection set or to rename a user-defined collection set.

Warning

In cases where the Windows account configured as a proxy is a non-interactive or interactive user that has not yet logged in, the profile directory will not exist, and the creation of the staging directory will fail. Therefore, if you are using a proxy account on a domain controller, you must specify an interactive account that has been used at least once in order to assure that the profile directory has been created.

Arguments

[ @collection_set_id = ] collection_set_id

The unique local identifier for the collection set. @collection_set_id is int, and must have a value if @name is NULL.

[ @name = ] N'name'

The name of the collection set. @name is sysname, and must have a value if @collection_set_id is NULL.

[ @new_name = ] N'new_name'

The new name for the collection set. @new_name is sysname, with a default of NULL, and if used, can't be an empty string. @new_name must be unique. For a list of current collection set names, query the syscollector_collection_sets system view.

[ @target = ] N'target'

Reserved for future use. @target is nvarchar(128), with a default of NULL.

[ @collection_mode = ] collection_mode

The type of data collection to use. @collection_mode is smallint, and can have one of the following values:

  • 0: Cached mode. Data collection and upload are on separate schedules. Specify cached mode for continuous collection.

  • 1: Non-cached mode. Data collection and upload is on the same schedule. Specify non-cached mode for ad hoc collection or snapshot collection.

If changing from non-cached mode to cached mode (0), you must also specify either @schedule_uid or @schedule_name.

[ @days_until_expiration = ] days_until_expiration

The number of days that the collected data is saved in the management data warehouse. @days_until_expiration is smallint, and must be 0 or a positive integer.

[ @proxy_id = ] proxy_id

The unique identifier for a SQL Server Agent proxy account. @proxy_id is int.

[ @proxy_name = ] N'proxy_name'

The name of the proxy. @proxy_name is sysname, with a default of NULL.

[ @schedule_uid = ] 'schedule_uid'

The GUID that points to a schedule. @schedule_uid is uniqueidentifier, with a default of NULL.

To obtain @schedule_uid, query the sysschedules system table.

When @collection_mode is set to 0, @schedule_uid or @schedule_name must be specified. When @collection_mode is set to 1, @schedule_uid or @schedule_name is ignored if specified.

[ @schedule_name = ] N'schedule_name'

The name of the schedule. @schedule_name is sysname, with a default of NULL. If specified, @schedule_uid must be NULL. To obtain @schedule_name, query the sysschedules system table.

[ @logging_level = ] logging_level

The logging level. @logging_level is smallint, with a default of 1, with one of the following values:

  • 0: Log execution information and SSIS events that track:

    • Starting/stopping collection sets
    • Starting/stopping packages
    • Error information
  • 1: Level-0 logging and:

    • Execution statistics
    • Continuously running collection progress
    • Warning events from SSIS
  • 2: Level-1 logging and detailed event information from SSIS.

[ @description = ] N'description'

The description of the collection set. @description is nvarchar(4000), with a default of NULL.

Return code values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).

Remarks

sp_syscollector_update_collection_set must be run in the context of the msdb system database.

Either collection_set_id or name must have a value, both can't be NULL. To obtain these values, query the syscollector_collection_sets system view.

If the collection set is running, you can only update schedule_uid and description. To stop the collection set, use sp_syscollector_stop_collection_set.

Permissions

Requires membership in the dc_admin or the dc_operator (with EXECUTE permission) fixed database role to execute this procedure. Although dc_operator can run this stored procedure, members of this role are limited in the properties that they can change. The following properties can only be changed by dc_admin:

  • @new_name
  • @target
  • @proxy_id
  • @description
  • @collection_mode
  • @days_until_expiration

Examples

A. Rename a collection set

The following example renames a user-defined collection set.

USE msdb;
GO
EXECUTE dbo.sp_syscollector_update_collection_set
@name = N'Simple collection set test 1',
@new_name = N'Collection set test 1 in cached mode';
GO

B. Change the collection mode from non-cached to cached

The following example changes the collection mode from non-cached mode to cached mode. This change requires that you specify a schedule ID or schedule name.

USE msdb;
GO
EXECUTE dbo.sp_syscollector_update_collection_set
@name = N'Collection set test 1 in cached mode',
@collection_mode = 0,
@schedule_uid = 'C7022AF3-51B8-4011-B159-64C47C88FF70';
-- alternatively, use @schedule_name.
-- @schedule_name = N'CollectorSchedule_Every_15min;
GO

C. Change other collection set parameters

The following example updates various properties of the collection set named Simple collection set test 2.

USE msdb;
GO

EXEC dbo.sp_syscollector_update_collection_set
    @name = N'Simple collection set test 2',
    @collection_mode = 1,
    @days_until_expiration = 5,
    @description = N'This is a test collection set that runs in noncached mode.',
    @logging_level = 0;
GO
