sql server notification services : Trouble with Notification Workflow Solution Accelerator

I am working with the Notification Workflow Solution Accelerator (a solution
accelerator for MOM), and I am not finding any official support statement
or guidance on running the application on a clustered SQL instance, and have
found conflicting claims of support in the MS newsgroups. Since this app
is based on SQL Notification Survices, which is cluster-capable to my knowledge,
I wanted to determine if this application is capable of running successsfully
on a clustered SQL instance. Thus far, we have been unable to make it do so

In the interest of the best use of our time, clarification would be most
appreciated.

This post from an MS resource implies support for named and clustered SQL

instances:

This post from a supposed former MS resource claims it is unsupported:

Any thoughts or official stance would be most appreciated.

Let me provide additional information that may assist.

In the event someone participating in this group is familiar with the Notification
Workflow Solution Accelerator application, I see lots of activity to the
NotificationWorkflowNotificationWorkflowApp database (which means event data
is being pulled across from Onepoint), but no activity whatsoever (even at
a filesystem level) to NotificationWorkflowNSMain, which holds all the subscriber
and subscription data. This is further supported by the NS$NotificationWorkflow
performance counters, which show the Quanta processed counter incrementing
every 15 seconds, but still shows 0 subscribers and 0 subscriptions, even
though we have created several and the information is present in the NotificationWorkflowNSMain
database.

Hi Pete -

I'm not familiar with the Notification Workflow Solution Accelerator
application so I cannot offer much assistance there.

I can tell you that SQLNS is cluster aware so at least from that
perspective you should be fine.

One point of clarification: the NSMain database is the instance
database and it contains subscriber and subscriber device information
whereas the application database,
NotificationWorkflowNotificationWorkflowApp in your case I believe,
contains the subscription, event, and notification information.

Have you created subscriptions that match the events you're
collecting?

HTH...
