Re: [Quickfix-developers] Auto Recovery Settings?

[<OM...@th...>]

Sean,

QuickFIX does not currently support this internally and yes I believe it
would be very useful plus easy to implement.  What do you think about
turning the SocketConnectPort and SocketConnectHost into CSV lists like
this...

SocketConnectHost=10.1.1.1,20.2.2.2,30.3.3.3
SocketConnectPort=5000,5643,8756

Then quickfix would just alternate through the list of hosts.  Another
posibility which may be more maintainable would be to have seperate fields.

SocketConnectHost=10.1.1.1
SocketConnectPort=5000
AlternateSocketConnectHost1=20.2.2.2
AlternateSocketConnectPort1=5643
AlternateSocketConnectHost2=30.3.3.3
AlternateSocketConnectPort2=8756

Anyone have some other ideas?

Hi,

Can QuickFix support an alternate or backup server to try when an
unexpected disconnection is received from the primary server?  We are
working with a company that has primary and secondary servers for us to
connect with.  When the primary connection fails, we are supposed to
connect to the secondary server and perform our recovery on that server.
Does QuickFix support this feature?  If so, how do I configure it.  If not,
is this something that people think should be added?

Thanks,

Sean Castette
