Remarks
The format of the XML duration data type is P0DT00H00M00S. For more information about XML data types, see Primitive XML Data Types in the Microsoft MSDN® Library.
Important The value you specify for the interval must divide evenly within a 24-hour period. For instance, 15 minutes is a valid interval, causing the event provider to run 96 times within a 24-hour period. However, 14 minutes is not a valid interval, because it implies that the event provider should run 102.86 times within a 24-hour period, which does not divide evenly within a 24-hour period.
