currently, the streaming api only supports  a very limited number of clients receiving notifications (20).

Hi Sam,

 

Thank you  for your reply

 

 

Can you please give the details of the creating push notifications on the objects,

 

is there any alternative to the push notification to notify more than 20 clients(Both Andriod and Ios apps)?

 

 

 

Thanks in Advance,

Venkatesh

the streaming api uses a SOQL stmt to determine when to trigger an event notification

 

and uses three different approaches to whch fields get sent as part of the event info

 

those in the select side of the stmt

those on the condition side of the stmt

or both

 

select name, id, ,,, from  object where  field=value and ... etc..

 

you use this string to 'create' the pushtopic.

 

then you enable the event handler for that push topicm by registering a handler for it using the Bauex protocol. 

 

I'm not aware of any good pub/sub mechanism for SF based systems. so I think you would have to use a good pub/sub system

as a proxy for the events on SF.

 

pub/sub = publish/subscribe
