The only approach I would consider is via a web service , either hosted on iis or apache, with a uniobjects connection behind it - either uo.net or uo.java. web servers are designed to accept multiple hits, queue them up , offload to threads etc. why reinvent the wheel. One of my companies does adserving and we serve upwards of 20million ads per day using this approach with a .net webservice using uo.net to communicate to a udt host.
Hi Everyone, A project that I m currently working on requires transmission of transactional and ancillary data from one UV site to site to another. I have the communications all set up and it is working very well via the UV socket functions with a client at one end and a server at the other. Both the client and the server both run as a UV phantom processes written in UV basic and the data being transferred (also encrypted) is more or less real time with various UV file triggers on the client end creating queue items for transmission based on the data content / transaction type. This set up is a single threaded affair and I am wondering how it will cope and what options I ll have as the volume of data increases. Multi-threading my server process to dish out some of the load might be one possibility and I ve seen examples in the past where the last digit of a numeric key (i.e. 0-9) is used to determine which one of 10 phantoms to call thus providing an effective distribution of the work. But even then, reading/writing processing data to a file for each child process seems to me to be the only way to achieve parent <-> child phantom communications at either end. Is there another way perhaps? It may be that I will need 2 sets of phantoms, 1 for the transactions and one for the ancillary data. Although we run UV on AIX the only other requirement is that I must be able to do it within UV Basic. Does anyone out there on the list know of a better way or any alternatives/advice so I can get a better appreciation of what else might be possible please?
