Remarks
sp_add_agent_profile
is used in snapshot replication, transactional replication, and merge replication.
Custom agent profiles are added with the default agent parameter values. Use sp_change_agent_parameter to change these default values or sp_add_agent_parameter to add additional parameters.
When sp_add_agent_profile
is executed, a row is added for the new custom profile in the MSagent_profiles table and the associated default parameters for this profile are added to the MSagent_parameters table.
Permissions
