Subscribers

The Subscribers (meta_md_subscriber) table defines the Messaging System's subscribers.

• A subscriber is a resource that consumes messages in the Messaging System's message queue.

• A subscriber exists that reads messages from the queue and sends the message content to an email recipient.

• If the subscriber fails to consume a message, it will flag the message as having errors, and will log an error for that message. If that particular subscriber is required to consume messages in the order that they are posted to the queue, the subscriber will periodically reattempt to consume the erroneous message until it succeeds.

• When creating a subscription, the subscriber attributes are copied to the subscription. These attributes (or user-configurable flags) are described in the Subscribers search result set. Click on the hyperlink titled Documentation to see what settings are supported for each of the subscribers.

• Typically maintained by a user assigned the Meta Administrator role, but may be accessed by any user with sufficient permissions to access the view.

The following list defines every field available in the subscribers (md_subscriber) table in alphabetical order:

• Created By - displays the name of the user who created the record you are viewing or maintaining. May not be overridden.
