The Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent namespace contains classes that represent the SQL Server Agent.

The Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent namespace represents the SQL Server Agent. After a connection to an instance of SQL Server has been established by using the Server object variable, you can use the objects in the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent namespace to manage the SQL Server Agent.

The Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent namespace resides in the Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll assembly file. Also, some of the enumeration classes are in the Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll and Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum.dll assembly files. You will have to import all three files to access the classes in the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent namespace.

By using the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent namespace, you can do the following:

• View and modify SQL Server Agent settings.

• Set up and manage operators.

• Set up and manage alerts based on system messages or performance conditions.

• Set up and manage jobs with multiple steps and schedules.

• Manage proxy accounts for the subsystems on which jobs run.

• Manage jobs that run on multiple servers.

TargetServerCollection	The TargetServerCollection class represents a collection of TargetServer objects that represent all the target servers defined on SQL Server Agent.
TargetServerGroup	The TargetServerGroup object that represent a target server group defined for multi-server administration on SQL Server Agent.
TargetServerGroupCollection	The TargetServerGroupCollection class represents a collection of TargetServerGroup objects that represent all the target server groups defined on SQL Server Agent.

 Enumerations

Enumeration	Description
ActivationOrder	The ActivationOrder enumeration contains values that are used to specify when the trigger runs in relation to the insert, update, or delete operation.
AgentLogLevels	The AgentLogLevels enumeration contains values that are used to specify the type of errors or messages that are logged by SQL Server. This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.
AgentMailType	The AgentMailType enumeration contains values that are used to specify the source of mail.
AgentSubSystem	The AgentSubSystem enumeration contains values that are used to specify the Microsoft SQL Server subsystems that can be used by job steps.
AlertType	The AlertType enumeration contains values that are used to specify the type of event or performance condition that causes alerts to be raised.
CategoryType	The CategoryType enumeration is a list of constant values that specify the type of category, such as whether the category refers to local jobs or multiserver administration.
CompletionAction	The CompletionAction enumeration is a list of constant values that specify the circumstances when a job completes after which another action is executed.
CompletionResult	The CompletionResult enumeration is a list of constant values that specify the status on completion of a job or job step.
FindOperand	The FindOperand enumeration represents a list of operands that are used to evaluate the DateJobCreated and DateJobLastModified properties to specify a range of dates in a job filter.
FrequencyRelativeIntervals	The FrequencyRelativeIntervals enumeration contains values that are used to specify the ordinal position of a recurring occurrence within a specified period.
FrequencySubDayTypes	The FrequencySubDayTypes enumeration contains values that are used to specify the way in which scheduling is managed within the period of a day.
FrequencyTypes	The FrequencyTypes enumeration contains values that are used to specify how often a schedule is executed.
JobExecutionStatus	The JobExecutionStatus enumeration is a list of constant values that specify the execution status of a job or job step.
JobOutcome	The JobOutcome enumeration is a list of constant values that specify the outcome after running a job.
JobServerType	The JobServerType enumeration is a list of constant values that specify the type of server with regard to multiserver or stand-alone administration.
JobStepFlags	The JobStepFlags enumeration is a list of constant values that specify the file to which to append job history information.
