A KEN Producer submits notifications for processing through the system. An example of a Producer would be a mailing daemon that represents messages sent from a University Library System.
Characteristics of a Producer:
Producers create and send notifications to a specific destination through various Channels.
Each Producer contains a list of Channels that it may send notifications to.
Producer Definitions are stored in the database table KREN_PRODCR_T.
