Instance Configuration File Reference

An instance configuration file (ICF) is a structured XML file that describes a single instance of SQL Server 2005 Notification Services. The ICF lists the Notification Services applications hosted by the instance and also contains metadata about the instance, its delivery protocols and delivery channels, and its database server.

The ICF must conform to the ConfigurationFileSchema.xsd schema, which is in the Notification Services XMLSchemas folder.

The elements in the ICF are described in this reference section. Use the links below to access information about an ICF element.

Configuration File Conventions

The following rules apply to all elements in the instance configuration file:

  • Element names are case-sensitive.
  • The elements in the configuration file must appear in the order defined by the schema. For an example, see Complete ICF Template.
  • Optional element groups can be removed or can contain empty child elements.
