Considerations for Publishing and Subscribing to Partial Records

If you've selected to not publish all the fields in the message, you must be careful when inserting that data into a record.

Deselecting the Include check box in the message definition means that the field is excluded from the message definition.

• The field won't be included when generating an XML document (when publishing a message.)

• If the field is present in the XML (that is, it wasn't excluded from the published message) it is ignored by the subscribing system.

When you insert the data from the message into the database, you must set the values for the fields that aren't in the message. You can use the SetDefault record class method to do this. You could also use a Component Interface based on the component the message was created from to leverage the component defaults.
