Post From: More than 3 Denali Exchange Data Feed Connections on Same Computer Simultaneously

All 4 are separate SC installations and they all use Denali, and due to the restriction I can only use 3 of them simultaneously.
The "other broker" is Ironbeam via Teton.

I did some experiments, and it may be feasible for my uses to use the Ironbeam data feed for some live data use cases, (but probably not for historical data).

But I have some questions on that:

With Teton/Ironbeam and
Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Allow Support for Sierra Charts Data Feeds = Yes
the scid data is stored in files named e.g.
ESM26_FUT_CME.scid
With
Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Allow Support for Sierra Charts Data Feeds = No
the scid data is stored in files named e.g.
ESM26-CME.scid

These files are not binary compatible. If combining them, you see old, copied data with prices as e.g. 715100.00, and in new downloaded data prices are e.g. 7151.00.
Is there any logic behind that? Why this incompatibility?



Most important question for me on this topic is currently:

Can I configure SC so that the Main instance is using
Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Allow Support for Sierra Charts Data Feeds = Yes
and a sub-instance is using
Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Allow Support for Sierra Charts Data Feeds = No
so that Main and sub-instance would use binary incompatible data formats?

Would that work?
