Re: Confusion between .u.upd and insert for Tickerplant

[george....@aquaq.co.uk]

Hi 57rp,

To me it sounds like your system is set up and behaving correctly.

.u.upd is used to publish data to the tickerplant. When this function is called the tickerplant will write the records to the log file, publish the data to the rdb, and publish the data to any relevant subscribers. However the tickerplant does not retain data itself (It just contains empty schemas defined by sym.q).

One way to verify if the tickerplant is behaving correctly would be to call .u.i on the ticker. This provides a count of files being written to the log file. If this is increasing and the rdb is updating then your tickerplant is behaving correctly.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards

George

Hey Qbies, 

I've tried to take the leap from dealing with simple tables to running a modified tickerplant -- the tickerplant itself is largely unchanged. I have added a table to the sym.q file. 

In the past, I've used a C# feed handler to pump data, using c.cs, and was able to use .u.upd to publish data into my table. Worked just fine.

With my tickerplant, .u.upd publishes data to the rdb but it does not show in the ticker (tick.q) window. When i try to test with insert the data will publish to ticker but not the rdb.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey George, 

Thanks! I think I get it -- Ticker  really just passes the data on to the rdb which is where are the live updating occurs. 

that .u.i trick yields an error message, but I can see logs forming in /tick directory.
