SQL Server 2005 Books Online blocked process threshold Option Use the blocked process threshold option to specify the threshold, in seconds, at which blocked process reports are generated. The threshold can be set from 0 to 86,400. By default, no blocked process reports are produced. This event is not generated for system tasks or for tasks that are waiting on resources that do not generate detectable deadlocks. For more information about deadlock detection, see Detecting and Ending Deadlocks. You can define an alert to be executed when this event is generated. So for example, you can choose to page the administrator to take appropriate action to handle the blocking situation.

Thanks for the links, but what I’m looking for is a way to set up a SQL Alert based on the blocked process threshold parameter. BOL says it is possible, but I can;t find any information on how to go about setting it up. Thanks
