Example

The following example shows how to define the following operational settings for a delivery protocol:

  • Notifications sent using this protocol have two redelivery attempts if initially unsuccessful — the first at 10 minutes after the initial attempt, and the second 15 minutes after that.
  • If three consecutive delivery failures occur while processing a distributor work item, then the whole work item will be aborted and retried according to the schedule defined in the RetrySchedule element.
  • If the application uses multicast delivery, Notification Services will deliver multicast notifications with no more than 10 recipients each.
  • A distributor thread can take 5 minutes in order to complete a work item assigned to it before the work item is aborted and returned to the pool of work items to be retried.
<ProtocolExecutionSettings>
    <RetrySchedule>
        <RetryDelay>P0DT00H10M00S</RetryDelay>
        <RetryDelay>P0DT00H15M00S</RetryDelay>
    </RetrySchedule>
    <FailuresBeforeAbort>3</FailuresBeforeAbort>
    <MulticastRecipientLimit>10</MulticastRecipientLimit>
    <WorkItemTimeout>P0DT00H05M00S</WorkItemTimeout>
</ProtocolExecutionSettings>
