How to acknowledge subscription for purchases.subscriptionsv2 with ACKNOWLEDGEMENT_STATE_UNSPECIFIED - google-play

Since May 2022, The new Play Billing Library version 5 allows your app to benefit from all the new subscription features.
While purchases.subscriptions:get has been upgraded to purchases.subscriptionsv2:get, the rest of the developer subscription management functions remain unchanged for now in the purchases.subscriptions endpoint, so you can continue using purchases.subscriptions:acknowledge
We notice there are three values of AcknowledgementState in purchases.subscriptionsv2:get
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT_STATE_UNSPECIFIED Unspecified acknowledgement state.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT_STATE_PENDING The subscription is not acknowledged yet.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT_STATE_ACKNOWLEDGED The subscription is acknowledged.
How to acknowledge subscription for purchases.subscriptionsv2 with ACKNOWLEDGEMENT_STATE_UNSPECIFIED value? It seems we have no idea whether to acknowledge it or not.
Originally, there are two values of acknowledgementState for purchases.subscriptions:get
Yet to be acknowledged 1. Acknowledged
Only When the value of acknowledgementState is 0, we do the acknowledge for this subscription.

Microsoft teams channel deletion event listener

Is their any event apart from bots to listen to channel deletion in teams.
So that I can perform some actions on channel deletion.
Currently I could see only bots can handle such events.
Bots are one way, but this should also be possible using the Graph - specifically there is a Change Notification capability, as per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-changenotifications-team-and-channel . Per this doc:
You can get notified whenever a team or channel is created, updated, or deleted.

How to clear messages from a JMS Topic based on age of messages

We have an application that publishes event notifications to a JMS Topic. The issue noticed here is that after a considerable amount of time, the message store in Weblogic reaches more that 10GB in size. Is there a way to implement a component that can remove messages from a JMS Topic which have crossed a certain age (say 30 days)?
Currently in place is a process, during downtime activity the message store is deleted. The process however, has a prerequisite check from the owners of the subscribing applications whether actions based on last message have been processed or not.
Thanks
Message accumulation for a JMS topic indicates there is at least one inactive durable subscription or perhaps slow subscription consumers. In general, you can prevent this by removing inactive durable subscriptions, speeding up slow subscription consumers, slowing down message production so that consumers can keep up, etc.
If you don't want to retain messages older than 30 days then you can try using the "Message Time-To-Live" functionality defined by the JMS specification. Section 4.8 of the JMS 1.1 spec states:
A client can specify a time-to-live value in milliseconds for each message it
sends. This value defines a message expiration time that is the sum of the
message’s time-to-live and the GMT it is sent (for transacted sends, this is the
time the client sends the message, not the time the transaction is committed).
A JMS provider should do its best to expire messages accurately; however, JMS
does not define the accuracy provided. It is not acceptable to simply ignore
time-to-live.
For more information on message expiration, see Section 3.4.9
"JMSExpiration."
The message's time-to-live can be set when the message is sent using either javax.jms.MessageProducer.setTimeToLive(long) or one of the overloaded send() methods. This will, of course, require changing the sending application's code.
Many brokers support setting the message's time-to-live or expiration time on the broker so that client modifications aren't strictly necessary. I'm not familiar enough with Weblogic to know if it supports this functionality or not, but it's worth investigating if you want to use this solution and don't want to modify your clients.
Came across the following code, which can help in clearing the messages by browsing thru the queue.

Does WMQ topic save message itself?

If a publisher publish some messages to a WMQ topic, but the subsciber didn't take it, then where the messages are saved? is there any way to know the message count?
As MQ is JMS compliant, the answer is mostly a JMS answer.
If the subscription is not durable and no subscription is registered, the messages for that subscriber are discarded.
If the subscription is durable, MQ creates a queue (or uses a predefined one if specified by the subscriber) to deliver the messages. The messages will collect there if the subscriber is not consuming them.
The 3rd case as Dave points out int he comments is that the non-durable subscriber is holding the subscription open but not consuming the messages. Since a queue is created to receive these that queue depth can be queried to determine if there's a back-up.
Based on there being a queue for every subscription (durable or otherwise) just look in the durable subscriber's queue to determine the number of messages outstanding.
Please also see Publish/subscribe lifecycles in the MQ Knowledge Center for more description of the behavior and specification of durable subscriber queues.
Of course, if that queue fills up the behavior changes. Depending on the settings either the publishers block or the publications continue but the messages are routed to an exception queue (if specified), the DLQ, or discarded.
Thanks Dave Ware for the comments about non-durable subscriptions.
I'm wondering from the question if you're asking if MQ keeps a store of all the messages published to a topic, independent of any registered subscriptions?
If that's the question, then no, it doesn't. When messages are published they are matched to each existing subscription and a copy is sent to each of their associated queues as T.Rob describes.
So the only queue depths to worry about are those of the subscriptions.
(There is a caveat in that MQ supports "retained publications", - it means MQ keeps just the most recent publication on that topic string for late subscriptions if you choose to do that).
I try to explain all this here (slides/video), which may help... http://www.slideshare.net/DavidWare1/ame-2271-mq-publish-subscribe-pdf

Exchange Online push notification subscription unable to perpetuate

I have inherited from a colleague who left a system module that integrates with Exchange Online in Office 365. Essentially what this module does is interact with with the remote Exchange service via EWS Managed API; subscribe for push notifications on changes in a user's calendar.
Change events do get posted to our web service and that is fine. And based on the frequency parameter we defined, the status checks messages also get posted on expected intervals, as per description about the subscription keep-alive behaviour.
The problem is, in observation, the subscription does not perpetuate despite responding with SubscriptionStatusType.OK to keep it ongoing. We never send SubscriptionStatusType.Unsubscribe since there is no error condition found in notification in messages. It seems to only last 9 to 14 hours before the Exchange service stops sending any status checks or change notification messages. When we make subscriptions from two separate web servers (different notification callback URLs), their subscriptions seem to die out around the same time.
Haven't found any clues that would cause the Exchange service to cancel/expire our subscriptions. What other conditions might contribute to this premature unsubscribe?
Exchange will "lose" subscriptions on a fairly regular basis, especially in the O365 environment because mailboxes are continually being shuffled onto different servers in order to load balance the entire ecosystem. Even in an on-prem Exchange you can lose subscription if a CAS restarts. Unfortunately to build a reliable app, you have to check periodically that you heard from Exchange via some kind of notification or heartbeat.

JMS Durable Subscription

Please help me in understanding the Durable subscriptions in JMS, I am going through this link and came across the statement:
http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/1.3/jms/tutorial/1_3_1-fcs/doc/advanced.html#1024717
A durable subscriber registers a durable subscription with a unique
identity that is retained by the JMS provider. Subsequent subscriber
objects with the same identity resume the subscription in the state in
which it was left by the previous subscriber. If a durable
subscription has no active subscriber, the JMS provider retains the
subscription's messages until they are received by the subscription or
until they expire.
Is subscriber and durable subscriber are two different objects that exists at the same time? Also please help me what these statement mean?
A subscriber (also known as a consumer) is an application that creates a subscription to receive publications (or messages) from desired topic(s).
There are two types of subscribers:
Non-Durable subscriber: This type of subscriber application will get publications from a messaging provider as long as the application is running. Once the application ends, the messaging provider removes the subscription.
Durable Subscriber: This is the second type of application which receive publications as long as they are running. When the application ends, the messaging provider will cache publications for the subscriber and deliver them when the application comes back.
Retained publication
Messages published before a subscription is created will not be available unless they are retained publication. Even then only the latest retained publication will be available to consumers.
