"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

"Awesome response, as usual. It is a sincere and refreshing pleasure to do business with DTN, compared to your competition." - Comment from Ryan

"I just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email

"I was with ******* for 4 years at $230 a month, this is a huge savings for me, GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE," - Comment from T.S. via Email

"I cannot believe what a difference it makes trading with ProphetX!" - Comment from Bruce in Los Angeles

"Everything is working amazing now. I'm already impressed with the true-tick feed of IQFeed and it's ability to support my 480 symbol layout." - Comment from Tyler via Email

"I will tell others who want to go into trading that DTN ProphetX is an invaluable tool, I don't think anyone can trade without it..." - Comment from Luther

"And by the way, have to say this. I love the IQFeed software. It's rock solid and it has a really nice API." - Comment from Thomas via RT Chat

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

Author	Topic: Data Problem Today (6 messages, Page 1 of 1)
stargazer -Interested User- Posts: 8 Joined: Jun 28, 2006	Posted: Sep 17, 2007 02:03 PM Msg. 1 of 6 I encountered a data stopage today at about 10:20 through 10:30. Noticed on NQZ7. I was away from my computer so unsure if maybe my Cable Internet connection cut out. Was hooked up to server 66.112.148.113 using QuoteTracker charting. Tried forcing a backfill but no luck filling in missing data. Exited QT and reloaded and was connected to a "156" server and all was fine. No missing data.

It isn't a DTN file, it is a windows system file. Usually, it is in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ The file is called "hosts" and doesn't have a file extension. FYI: The problem this morning affecting the .148.x server farm was due to a switch on the network that went bad. Under normal circumstances, we would just redirect all user to the other data center while we restore the system. Unfortunately, the other data center is running the older server code and many users have hardcoded their systems to only connect to the .148.x server farm. Because of this outage, we are going to direct all users automatically to the other datacenter for historical requests only (other datacenter being the x.x.156.x server farm). We will run in this configuration all week to avoid further corrupting data on the x.x.148.x farm). The unfortunate side affect is that we won't have second resolution or pre/post market data for this week. We are currently scheduled to release the new code to the x.x.156.x server farm this weekend, which will provide us full redundancy for the new code and features.
