Configure Each Notification Receiver Service as a Subscriber

The subscriber configuration in Dayforce contains the information that defines the Notification Receiver service, which acknowledges events when they're sent to a web services consumer. The interface that you use

To configure a notification receiver service as a subscriber:

1. Go to HCM Anywhere > Web Services > Notification Subscriptions.
2. In the toolstrip, click New.
3. Complete the following details:
   • Subscriber Name: The name of the application that processes notification event data. This field is required for all subscriber types.
   • Reference Code: A short code used to uniquely identify the subscriber. This value is required for all subscriber types and is used by applications that query for unacknowledged notifications (in lieu of a receiver service). This field is required for all subscriber types.
   • Event Detection Only: Select the checkbox to indicate Yes, or clear it to indicate No. This identifies subscribers that query for unacknowledged notifications (in lieu of a receiver service). For this type of subscriber, the value should be set to Yes.
   • Service URL: The web address of the notification receiver service if one is being used. This field is required when Event Detection Only is cleared.
   • User Name: The name of the receiver service account the Dayforce Notification Publisher uses to authenticate with it. This field is optional, though Dayforce strongly recommends that external parties use authentication as a means of securing their receiver services. This field isn’t used when Event Detection Only is selected.
   • Password: The password associated with the receiver service account the Dayforce Notification Publisher uses for authentication. Using authentication credentials in the receiver service is optional, though Dayforce strongly recommends that external parties use authentication as a means of securing their receiver services. This field isn’t used when Event Detection Only is selected.
   • Max Retry Attempts: The maximum number of attempts that can be made to push a notification to a notification receiver service. When the threshold is reached, the Dayforce Notification Publisher sends an error message to the configured Alert Email Address advising of the difficulties encountered. This field is required when Event Detection Only is cleared.
   • Max Retry Minutes: The maximum number of minutes allowed to pass after the initial send attempt time. When the threshold has been reached, the Dayforce Notification Publisher sends an error message to the configured alert email address advising them of the problem. This field is required when Event Detection Only is cleared.
   • Alert Email: The email address the Dayforce Notification Publisher uses to send messages when a notification event for a given subscriber reaches an error state (Max Retry Attempts or Minutes is reached). This field is required when Event Detection Only is cleared.
