Remarks
Delivery channel arguments are dependent on the delivery protocol. Each protocol has its own requirements. For information about the arguments required by standard delivery protocols, see Standard Delivery Protocols.
Notification Services stores the argument names and values in the instance database. To encrypt the values stored in the database, use argument encryption. For more information, see Configuring Argument Encryption.
Note
Do not store user name and password information in the instance configuration file (ICF). Use parameters, as shown in the example, and then provide values for the parameters when creating and updating the instance.
Example
This example shows how to specify the value DeliveryServer10 for the Server argument.
<Argument>
<Name>Server</Name>
<Value>DeliveryServer10</Value>
</Argument>
