Custom encoding schemes

To implement a custom encoding scheme, you can build a custom encoding DLL. You can use this custom DLL to apply special features required for a particular messages system, or to collect statistics, such as how many messages are sent to each user.

The header file %SQLANY12%\SDK\Include\dbrmt.h includes an application programming interface that you can use to build a custom encoding scheme.

To use your custom DLL, set the message control parameter encode_dll to a value that is the full path to the custom DLL. For example:

SET REMOTE FTP OPTION "Public"."encode_dll" = 'c:\\sqlany12\\Bin32\\custom.dll';
Note

Encoding and decoding must be compatible: if you implement a custom encoding, you must make sure that the DLL is present at the receiving end, and that the DLL is in place to decode your messages properly.
