A Notifier is a program integrated into the MobiLink server that frequently checks the consolidated database for push requests. Once push requests are detected, it sends push notifications to devices. A Notifier also executes a series of events, allowing you to create scripts for monitoring data, managing push requests, handling delivery confirmations, and handling errors.

Notifiers start when you first load the MobiLink server. You can have more than one Notifier running within a single instance of the MobiLink server. For an example of how to use multiple Notifiers, see the sample application located in the %SQLANYSAMP12%\MobiLink\SIS_MultipleNotifier.

If a Notifier loses the database connection, it attempts to recover the connection until it regains access. After recovery, the Notifier continues to operate with the same configuration settings.
