Appendix G Subscriptions Attributes

The Subscriptions Service consists of dynamic and user attributes. Values applied to the dynamic attributes are applied across the Sun ONE Identity Server configuration and are inherited by every configured organization. They cannot be applied directly to roles or organizations as the goal of global attributes is customize the Sun ONE Identity Server application. Values applied to the user attributes are assigned per user. When the role is assigned to a user or a user is created in an organization, the dynamic attribute then becomes a characteristic of the user.

Subscriptions Dynamic Attributes

The table contains three columns: the first column identifies the attribute, the second column provides the default value for the attribute, and the third column describes the attribute.

Table G-1 Subscriptions Service - Dynamic Attributes
Attribute	Default Value	Description
Maximum number of Categories subscriptions	5	Specifies the maximum number of subscriptions on categories that can be defined and stored in the Identity Server.
Maximum number of Discussion subscriptions	5	Specifies the maximum number of subscriptions on discussions that can be defined and stored in the Identity Server.
Maximum number of Saved searches	5	Specifies the maximum number of saved search subscriptions that can be defined and stored in the Identity Server.
Conflict Resolution Level	Highest	Sets the conflict resolution level for the Subscriptions service template used to resolve conflicts when multiple Subscriptions templates are merged. There are seven conflict resolution settings available ranging from Highest to Lowest. Do not confuse this setting with the display profile document priority. The display profile document priority is a numeric value that is set in the XML file with the priority= syntax tag. When a merge occurs, it starts with lowest display profile priority document (lowest number) and proceeds by increasing priority number until it arrives at the user (base), the highest priority display profile. When an attribute conflict occurs, the attribute on the template set with the highest conflict resolution level is returned.
