Notification Queue Message Format

A notification message always starts with fixed a portion followed by an optional variable-length region.

The fixed portion is made by the ctNOTBLK structure defined in ctport.h:

typedef struct notblk {

ULONG action; /* actual opcode */

LONG actor; /* thread ID */

LONG tranhw; /* transaction # HW */

LONG tranlw; /* transaction # LW */

LONG opcode; /* requested opcodes */

LONG objhandle; /* requested (user) handle */

LONG idxmemno; /* index member number */

ULONG contents; /* actual contents bit map */

ULONG controls; /* requested controls bit map */

LONG datahw; /* data HW (eg rec pos) */

LONG datalw; /* data LW */

LONG auxdhw; /* auxilary info HW (eg old pos) */

LONG auxdlw; /* auxilary info LW */

ULONG varlen; /* remaining length (if any) */

} ctNOTBLK, * pctNOTBLK;

The contents member determines what is in the variable-length region and should be the same used in the ctNotify() call.

The variable-length portion may contain the following items, depending on the options specified in the contents parameter to ctNotify():

  1. key values (present if ctNT_CON_UNQKEY OR-ed in contents),
  2. actor node name (present if ctNT_CON_NODNAM OR-ed in contents),
  3. full record image (present if ctNT_CON_RECBUF OR-ed in contents)

These items always appear in this order, even if not all are specified to be returned.
