oof: Content from Server

The oof message indicates that a previously-received message is no longer in focus. For more information, see the Out of Focus Messages (OOF) chapter in the AMPS User Guide.

Header Fields

The following table contains the header fields returned in an oof message:

Field	Description
Command	Type of message. Always oof, as encoded by the protocol.
Topic	The topic which contained the message that has gone out of focus.
MsgLen	The length of the message body.
SowKey	An AMPS-created identifier for the message that has gone out of focus.
Reason	The reason the message has gone out of focus. Valid reasons include deleted, expired, match, and entitlement.
SubIds	The subscription IDs of the subscriptions that produced this message. The AMPS clients will provide this message to the handler registered for each of the subscriptions specified.
CorrelationId	A user-provided string that will be passed, verbatim, to subscribers. If this header is not present on the SOW record that was deleted, subscribers receive no value for the CorrelationId. The contents of this header must consist of characters that are legal in Base64 encoding.

Reason

The reason field of the oof message explains why the message no longer matches the subscription. Possible values are:

Reason	Description
deleted	The message was deleted.
expired	The message expired.
match	The message no longer matches the filter for the subscription or (for paginated subscriptions) no longer matches the pagination window.
entitlement	The access to the messaged changed, such that the user no longer has permission to receive the message.
