Remarks

The application quantum duration controls how often the generator fires rules to generate notifications. Shorter quantum durations generate notifications more often, but require more resources. You need to balance the need for timely notifications with the processing load placed on the Database Engine by running the rules more frequently. For more information, see Specifying the Generator Quantum Duration.

The format of the XML duration data type is PnYnMnDTnHnMnS. For more information about XML data types, see Primitive XML Data Types in the MSDN Library.
