Creating a new topic
A topic identifies what a publication is about. A topic is a character string that describes the subject of the information that is published in a publish/subscribe message.
Before you begin
- A topic string can include any character from the Unicode character set, including the space character. However, there are characters that have special meanings. The characters; plus sign (+), number sign (#), asterisk (*), and question mark (?) are described in Wildcard schemes.
- Topic strings are case sensitive, and although a null character does not cause an error, do not use null characters in your topic strings. For the latest information on topic strings, see Using topic strings.
- Each topic that you define is an element, or node, in the topic tree. For the latest information on topic trees, see Topic trees.
