SQL- SP_PROCOPTION – AutoNotification to App Owners – When SQL Instance Restarts

We had a situation where Application owners automatically notified whenever server restarts.  The SP_PROCOPTION do have a facility to perform this activity. The SP_PROCOPTION built-in stored procedure being used to invoke the user defined stored proc automatically.

The details of this implementation is as follows

• User defined meta data table to hold all Application Owner Details
• Create user defined Stored procedure Named “Notification” under MASTER database(Mandatory).The below automation developed with an intellegence to concatenate all Application Owner’s email-ids.
• Modify the stored procedure “Notification” – ProfileName and BlindCopyReceipents
• Add this stored procedure for automatic execution
• Once done Restart the SQL Instance .

Pre-requisites

•  Mail Profile – Make sure that you have DB Mail Configured.

Table Creation to store Meta Data about the Server

/* Insert AppOwners Details*/
INSERT INTO AutoAlert(dbname,AppOwner,AppOwnerID) VALUES(‘PROD_OLAP’,’Dave H’,’dheim@PowerSQL.com’)
INSERT INTO AutoAlert(dbname,AppOwner,AppOwnerID) VALUES(‘Crystal_App’,’Ana V’,’vana@PowerSQL.com’)

–SELECT * FROM dbo.AutoAlert

The following SQL sets a procedure for automatic execution

EXEC sp_procoption @ProcName = ‘NOTIFICAION’
, @OptionName = ‘startup’
, @OptionValue = ‘on’;

The following SQL stops a procedure from automatic execution

EXEC sp_procoption @ProcName = ‘NOTIFICAION’
, @OptionValue = ‘off’;

Restart SQL Instance
