[ @profile_type = ] profile_type

The type of profile.profile_type is int, with a default of 1.

0 indicates a system profile. 1 indicates a custom profile. Only custom profiles can be created using this stored procedure; therefore the only valid value is 1. Only SQL Server creates system profiles.

[ @description = ] N'description'

A description of the profile. @description is nvarchar(3000), with no default.

[ @default = ] default

Indicates whether the profile is the default for @agent_type. @default is bit, with a default of 0. 1 indicates that the profile being added will become the new default profile for the agent specified by @agent_type.

Return code values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).

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

Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can execute sp_add_agent_profile.
