Consolidation of various configuration items...

 Hi Graham/Toli,

We have now been using Marketcetera OMS (now ORS) for a while now and in production. The latest version introduced the concept of ors_users.properties for some of the configurable items. We had embarked on the process of consolidating all possible configuration items into one single user.properties file loaded via spring PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer as follows;

             <!-- property placeholder post-processor -->
             <bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
               <property name="location" value="user_config.properties"/>
             </bean>

            A sample of the file in question is as follows;

oms.requestQueue=TradeBasket-commands
oms.replyTopic=TradeBasket-messages
oms.brokerURL=tcp://server:61616

oms.quickfix.defaultSessionID.sendercompid=XXXX
oms.quickfix.defaultSessionID.targetcompid=TTT
oms.quickfix.defaultSessionID.sessionqualifier=TradeBasket

oms.socketConnectHostValue=208.134.161.23
oms.socketConnectPortValue=8221

quickfix.spring.SessionSettings.HeartBtInt=60
quickfix.spring.SessionSettings.StartTime=10:30:00
quickfix.spring.SessionSettings.EndTime=07:00:00
quickfix.spring.SessionSettings.JdbcURL=jdbc:mysql://dbase/marketcetera
quickfix.spring.SessionSettings.JdbcUser=readwrite
quickfix.spring.SessionSettings.JdbcPassword=password
quickfix.spring.SessionSettings.LogFile=/var/log/fix/filename

Obviously, these will change depending on all newly introduced properties per version of the application. As it stands there are so many xml/properties files to change. If not set-up correctly the application would fail. A single configuration as defined above would simplify the configuration and reduced support requests for avid and new users.

I am sure I probably can already do this in the latest version but I have just had a look at this version so I can’t comment.

Babashola,

This is a great suggestion and as you've correctly noticed, we started
to move towards this model with the introduction of the
ors_user.properties fie.

That was just a beginning, and we'll work on moving all the other
relevant configuration variables into an easier-to-use config file,
just like you have.
We'll have a mirror structure of the ors_default.properties that
contains the defaults, and the ors_user.properties file that has
overridden values for each user.

Let me know if you have any questions migrating to the new version of the ORS.

thanks
