Creating an Exchange Feed Recorder (cont.)
A few days ago I started creating an exchange feed recorder, and today (finally), I got the time to finish things off. The outstanding issues were that I hadn't tested anything, and that I hadn't really worked out the start/stop scripts, etc. So today it was a simple matter of testing the code, fixing a few issues, and then setting up the infrastructure so it'd be easy to start/stop the recorder for daily use.
It wasn't all that hard, but it took an hour or so to get it all nailed down. I then spent a little time writing a reader app to allow people to see how you would read from the file, find the datagram, and then process it. Not bad, but it needed to be done in order to show that the recording process wasn't corrupting the data.
Nice to finally get this all nailed down.
