Required False
Pipeline false
Default Value 25
-RequestMaximumCpuTimeInSeconds

Specifies the maximum amount of CPU time, in seconds, that a request can use.

Alias
Required False

Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that a query can wait for a memory grant (work buffer memory) to become available.

Alias
Required False
Pipeline false
Default Value 0

Specifies the maximum degree of parallelism (MAXDOP) for parallel query execution.

Alias
Required False
Pipeline false
Default Value 0
-GroupMaximumRequests

Specifies the maximum number of simultaneous requests that are allowed to execute in the workload group.

By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
