Remarks

A Field element contains a FieldName element and either a SqlExpression element or a FieldReference element. The FieldName and SqlExpression combination enables you to use a Transact-SQL expression to define the protocol field value. The FieldName and FieldReference combination enables you to use a value from the notification as the protocol field value.

The following field names are reserved by Notification Services:

  • DeliveryChannelName
  • DeliveryStatusCode
  • DeviceAddress
  • DeviceName
  • DeviceTypeName
  • DistributorWorkItemId
  • ExpirationTime
  • LinkNotificationId
  • NotificationId
  • NotificationBatchId
  • SentTime
  • SubscriberId
  • SubscriberLocale

The NotificationId, SubscriberId, DeviceName, DeviceTypeName, DeviceAddress, and SubscriberLocale fields are exposed by Notification Services, and can be used in the Transact-SQL expressions for protocol fields.

Example

The following example shows how to use a Transact-SQL expression as the value for the Subject field. The Transact-SQL expression creates a string containing the current date.

<Field>
    <FieldName>Subject</FieldName>
    <SqlExpression>'Your notification for : ' + 
    CONVERT(NVARCHAR(30), GETDATE())</SqlExpression>
</Field>

The following example shows how to use a field reference as a protocol field value.

<Field>
    <FieldName>StockSymbol</FieldName>
    <FieldReference>StockSymbol</FieldReference>
</Field>
