    eventsToTryToMulticast, colleaguesOfOwners, _
    eventsConsolidatedPerOwner)

public static void MulticastActivityEvents(
    ActivityManager objManager,
    List<ActivityEvent> eventsToTryToMulticast,
    Dictionary<long, List<MinimalPerson>> colleaguesOfOwners,
    out Dictionary<long, List<ActivityEvent>> eventsConsolidatedPerOwner
)

Parameters

• objManager
  Type: Microsoft.Office.Server.ActivityFeed.ActivityManager

  The ActivityManager associated with this gatherer.

• eventsToTryToMulticast
  Type: System.Collections.Generic.List<ActivityEvent>

  A list of ActivityEvent objects to multicast to colleagues of the event owners.

• colleaguesOfOwners
  Type: System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<Int64, List<MinimalPerson>>

  A dictionary containing the colleague identifier for each owner and the associated list of colleagues. Each colleague is a MinimalPerson object.

• eventsConsolidatedPerOwner
  Type: System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<Int64, List<ActivityEvent>>

  A dictionary containing the record identifier for each owner and that owner’s ActivityEvent objects. This is the output of this method.

Remarks

Since this method creates new ActivityEvent objects for each specified colleague, these events need to be committed to the database. Use the CollectActivityEventsToConsolidate method to convert the eventsConsolidatedPerOwner parameter into a List and then pass that list to the BatchWriteActivityEvents method.
