The PublisherId is a unique identifier for a Publisher within a Message Oriented Middleware. It can be included in sent NetworkMessage for identification or filtering. The value of the PublisherId is typically shared between PubSubConnections but the assignment of the PublisherId is vendor specific.
The PublisherId parameter is only relevant for the Publisher functionality inside a PubSubConnection. The filter setting on the Subscriber side is contained in the DataSetReader parameters.
