Remarks
A SQL Server Agent alert is raised when a SQL Server process raises a specific error or an error of a specific severity level. Setting the Severity property of an Alert object associates an alert with a specific SQL Server error message severity level.
Setting both the Severity and MessageID properties of an Alert object attempts to associate an alert with both an error message severity level and an error message, which results in an error.
