Queries about Notification Services 2005   

Hi all,

     I would like to know whether it is possible to have a "subscription" 
and yet "not send a notification" to a "subscriber". I so, how do I achieve 
the same.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Queries about Notification Services 2005   

You can create subscriptions and if there is never an event that
satisfies the match rule, no notifications will be produced. For
example, if I create a subscription that says I'd like to be notified
when a certain stock exceeds $1billion / share, I'll  probably never
be notified. 

However, if you'd like to prevent a subscriber from being notified
even if a match rule would create a notification, you can disable the
subscriber and/or the subscription.

But if you question is whether or not you can quash a notification
after it is created but before it is delivered, the answer is no, not
that I'm aware of, not without doing something in the delivery
protocol to toss the notification. 

HTH...
