How deos Schedule Subscription evaluated within Notificaion Service

Hi,

I have read most of the threads here and many online resources but still couldn't find my answers. I am trying to set up a schedule subscription with the following condition:

1. condition: Users borrow books and should return in 30 days.

2. They should be notified 3 days before the book return date. The return date is different for every user depending on their borrow date.

3. Now can I make use of schedule subscription to achieve this. Basically one schedule subscription, different schedule datetime depending on return date.

I couldn't figure out how to proceed. How does the scheduling work within in NS and how does it make use of the following fields from the schedule table: UtcTime, ScheduleType, ScheduleData, ScheduleText.

Shyam and others,

Thanks.

I would probably approach this by creating a subscriber for each person that can borrow a book (either en mass as the beginning or as they borrow books from you). Then configure a scheduled subscription for each book they borrow. The schedule can be set for whatever time you'd like to notify them (1:00am, etc)

Configure your Event Provider to retrieve books that are due in 3 days.

Then write the matching rule.

Make sense?

HTH...
