Client message store properties

There are two types of client message store property:

Predefined message store properties These message store properties are always prefixed with ias_ or IAS_.
Custom message store properties These are message store properties that you define. You cannot prefix them with ias_ or IAS_.

You can access client message store properties using the get and set methods defined in the appropriate class and pass the name of the predefined or custom property as the first parameter.

See Client message store property management.

You can also use message store properties in transmission rules, delete rules, and message selectors. See:

QAnywhere transmission and delete rules

Predefined client message store properties

Several client message store properties have been predefined for your convenience. The predefined message store properties are:

ias_Adapters
ias_MaxDeliveryAttempts
ias_MaxDownloadSize
ias_MaxUploadSize
ias_Network
ias_Network.Adapter
ias_Network.RAS
ias_Network.IP

ias_StoreID
ias_StoreInitialized
ias_StoreVersion

Custom client message store properties

QAnywhere allows you to define your own client message store properties using the QAnywhere C++, Java, SQL or .NET APIs. These properties are shared between applications connected to the same message store. They are also synchronized to the server message store so that they are available to server-side transmission rules for this client.

Client message store property names are case insensitive. You can use a sequence of letters, digits, and underscores, but the first character must be a letter. The following names are reserved and may not be used as message store property names:

NULL
TRUE
FALSE
NOT
AND
OR
BETWEEN
LIKE
IN
IS
ESCAPE (SQL Anywhere message stores only)
Any name beginning with ias_

Client message store properties can have attributes that you define. An attribute is defined by appending a dot after the property name followed by the attribute name. The main use of this feature is to be able to use information about your network in your transmission rules.

Limited support is provided for property attributes when using UltraLite as a client message store. UltraLite message stores only support the predefined ias_Network property.
