Description

Notification

Contains information about the subscription and the events that have occurred since the last notification.

Text Value

A text value is required. The text value represents the latest watermark. The text value cannot be an empty string.

Remarks

The PreviousWatermark property is useful to the client in determining the last successful notification. For example, if a subscription has three events with watermarks 1, 2, and 3, and the next notification is sent with a PreviousWatermark value of 3, the client can compare this value to the Watermark value of the last notification received. This enables the client to ensure the continuity of events.

For push clients, the PreviousWatermark is compared to the local, client-side last known watermark. If the values are different, the client has missed an event notification and should reestablish a subscription by using the latest local watermark. For example, if a push client receives three events for a subscription with watermarks 1, 2, and 3, and the next notification comes with a PreviousWatermark value of 5, the client has missed at least one notification and should create a new subscription, passing a 3 as the watermark.

In the case of a pull client, the value of PreviousWatermark will be the same as the Watermark included by the client in the GetEvents call.
