Specifying Application Execution Settings

SQL Server 2005 Notification Services provides several application execution settings that you can set to tune your application. These settings control how often data is processed, how far the generator is allowed to fall behind the real-time clock, how events are processed, how much data can be received and sent, how distribution data is logged, and how often old data is removed from the database.

Important

You can choose to not specify application execution settings and use the Notification Services defaults. However, this is not recommended. You should at least specify quantum durations, quantum limits, distributor logging, and data removal.
