ALTER REMOTE MESSAGE TYPE statement

Description 

The Message Agent sends outgoing messages from a database using one of the supported message links. Return messages for users employing the specified link are sent to the specified address as long as the remote database is created by the Extraction Utility. The Message Agent starts links only if it has remote users for those links.

The address is the publisher's address under the specified message system. If it is an e-mail system, the address string must be a valid e-mail address. If it is a file-sharing system, the address string is a subdirectory of the directory set in the SQLREMOTE environment variable or registry entry, or of the current directory if that is not set.

Example 

The following example creates a FILE message type for a database, and gives the publisher's address as a subdirectory of the SQLREMOTE location named publisher:

sp_remote_type file, publisher
go
