IN THIS CHAPTER
Inside the distributor, notifications are formatted and then delivered. Formatting is handled by content formatters, as described in Chapter 9, "Content Formatters." This chapter looks at delivery protocols: the components that send formatted notification messages to external delivery systems for routing to subscribers. This chapter explains how delivery protocols fit into the SQL-NS application model and how to use them in your own applications. It covers the key concepts behind delivery protocol operation, shows how to leverage the built-in SQL-NS delivery protocols, and explains how to build custom delivery protocols for your applications. |
