Author	Topic: [COM]: Daily and intraday history requests from separate threads (6 messages, Page 1 of 1)
dis -Interested User- Posts: 24 Joined: Apr 16, 2007	Posted: Jun 8, 2007 09:02 AM Msg. 1 of 6 Is it possible to do 2 historical requests (daily and intraday) from separate threads at the same time? Can the data be corrupted in such situation?

As a result, you would determine this the same way you do now with a single request.

I have attempted this and it appears to handle them sequentially (I use java and connect via sockets). Does that match the information that you have? I ask because even though it seems to be sequential handling of requests (I turned on DTN logs and that is what I see) we did have a situation in our logs that seems to indicate otherwise.

If you make simultaneous connections, they will get executed simultaneously. Depending upon exactly how you are making your requests, the logs may not be a very good indicator of what is acutally happening. This is a design flaw of the logging implementation in IQConnect. If you open 2 separate socket connections to IQConnect and make simultaneous requests, you will get data returned on both sockets simultaneously. If you open a single socket and make 2 separate requests at the same time, they will be executed sequentially.
