Post From: Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another SC Instance

The description of the new DTC subinstance capability (1395 or higher) says: "completely replaces the method of sharing chart and market data documented on the Multiple Services page", but I see no way to hook SC to multiple servers, except by doing it the old way. It seems that to receive data from two different sources/services (other than SC data feed of course) it is still necessary to start a unique SC instance and set the Data/Trade Service to the desired data or trade service. If the Data/Trade Service is set to DTC Subinstance, then it only obtains data from the particular server that it references. Interestingly, if I hook one instance of SC to multiple data instances and then set it up as a server and hook up a subinstance, then the subinstance seems to have access to all the data services that the server is accessing, without referencing the individual SC instances that are providing the data. Is this somehow more efficient, even though, unlike the old "Multiple Services" approach, this does create new copies of each scid file, in the subinstance. 1) If I cam completely wrong (certainly possible) could you explain how this is supposed to work? It sounded as though the point was to obtain access to the different data source more efficiently by hooking directly to the DTC servers rather than going through the SC instance. 2) If the new capability just allows a clone of the data/trading connections of an existing SC instance, how do you envision the capability being used? Why would I want to clone the data/trade settings of one instance in another? |
