Schema for .NET Services service Copyright (c) 2001 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. This element encapsulates the content document for the service. This element specifies key information used to zoom in on the document being manipulated. This information includes the PUID that owns the document, the instance id of the document, and the cluster or partition key used to locate the machine resources that hold the document.

In certain situations, a client will want to send the same message to a number a instances of a particular service. In order to do this, the client may repeat this element multiple times. The cluster attributes in all elements must match each other, but the puid and instance attributes may differ. A unique response message is generated for each key specified.

The entire contents of this element come from the .NET Services service. This element specifies the PUID of the entity that "owns" the service being accessed. In the case of a "myProfile" service, this element is equivalent to the "my". This element specifies the particular instance of the service for this id being accessed. For example, if a given id is provisioned with multiple .NET Calendar documents on the same cluster and in the same data center, the documents would differ only by this value. This element specifies information used by the .NET My Services system to locate the document on a particular back-end server or database. It is used as the virtual partition key for the document being addressed. This technique is preferable to computing this partition key based on some hash of the puid/instance. This element specifies that the fields below are for a referral. This element specifies to the to destination URL. This element specifies the spn in question. This element specifies the authentication realm for the spn in question. This element contains the name of the service being accessed by this request message. For example, to access the .NET Profile service, this attribute will have the value "myProfile".
