Configuration "AppName"

What is the AppName property in the configuration?

AppName is used to allow multiple "Applications" to subscribe to the same topic as an individual subscription.

Lets say you have a shared assembly that has a message called NewOrder.

Next lets say we have two applications, NewOrderAudit and Warehouse and both of these applications wanted to receive a copy of the NewOrder message when it was posted to the topic.

Because each application would have a different AppName, the framework would register each application as a separate subscription.

AppName is not enforced. If you wanted to create two different applications that by some chance wanted to scale out for the same message, you could create both applications with the same AppName and they would automatically load balance.

Please note, the Name must be 9 characters or less.
