Description
Sometimes a SQL statement will execute differently based on the bind value that gets pass in. To collect a sampling of those bind values, this alert can be used to retrieve the values and store them in the DPA alert tables. This alert will never send an email, but is used to collect the data only. At the bottom of this page is a query that can be used to report on this information from the DPA alert tables.
Alert Definition
To create the alert, click on Alerts > Manage Alerts tab and create a Custom Alert of type Custom SQL Alert - Multiple Numeric Return. Configure the alert as needed and paste in the attached query.
