Re: [Quickfix-developers] Fault Tolerance; Sybase/Oracle

[Oren M. <ore...@ya...>]

QuickFIX doesn't have any mechanisms to act as a fault
tolerant server.  Being a core implementation of a FIX
engine, it trys to excel in this aspect as opposed to
trying to reimplement such things that others are
better equipped to produce.  Generally you can use
third party software that is especially designed for
these scenarios and integrate them with QuickFIX.  I
do not know if there is open source software that does
this, but would be interested to find out.  Creating
you're own fault tolerant system is also an option. 
Since such a thing would only need to meet you're
specific needs, it would only need to implement a
subset of what many systems provide.

As per Oracle/Sybase.  I know that several users have
done implementations of this, but so far none of them
have been contributed back to the project.  You can
either see if someone is willing to donate this, or
you will have to implement one yourself.  It's pretty
easy to do and can be done reusing much of the mysql
code.
