Defining Notification Services Applications

To define a Notification Services application, you either create an XML application definition file (ADF) or you define the application programmatically using Notification Services Management Objects (NMO). In either case, to define an application, you provide the following information:

  • An optional definition of the application database.
  • Event class properties, such as event class names, schemas, chronicles, and indexes.
  • Subscription class properties, such as subscription class names, schemas, rules, chronicles, and indexes.
  • Notification class properties, such as notification class names, schemas, content formatters, protocols, and delivery options.
  • Event provider properties.
  • Generator properties.
  • Distributor properties.
  • Operational settings.
  • Application version and history.
