Event Notification Priority

Topic Last Modified: 2006-06-11

When registering for synchronous event notifications, you can set a priority that specifies when the notification will occur relative to the other event registrations waiting on the same event. The registration priority can have any value within the ranges shown in the following table:

Priority	Decimal value	Hexadecimal value
Highest (first to be notified)	0	0
Default	65535	0x0000ffff
Lowest (last to be notified)	2147483647	0x7fffffff

Use the decimal value to register the priority.

Event registrations with the same priority can fire in any order. Priorities do not apply to asynchronous event registrations.

The following illustration shows synchronous sink execution by priority.

Recursive event notifications in the parent folder occur before event notifications in the subfolders.
