NIP publishing on 2 ADH without multicast

nicolas.roux

I'm working on a NIP which needs to publishes on my TREP infrastructure. Here's my need:

• One NIP
• Two ADH
• I can't use multicast on the server which hosts the NIP
• I need a fault tolerant solution on the TREP side

Here's what I'm doing currently:

And here’s my test scenario:

1. I start the ADH pair:
   hot standby : ADH1 active / ADH2 standby
   cache resiliency : True
   cache percistency : True
2. I start the NIP
3. When the NIP starts, it connects to the first server of its list: ADH1
4. My NIP publishes a couple of updates on InstrumentA
5. I shutdown the NIP
6. I kill ADH1
7. If I dump the cache of ADH2, there’s no trace of InstrumentA <= this is a problem

Another scenario:

1. I start the ADH pair (same configuration)
2. I start the NIP
3. When the NIP starts, it connects to ADH1
4. My NIP publishes a couple of updates on InstrumentA
5. I kill the ADH1. (ADH2 is now active)
6. The NIP connects to ADH2
7. I restart the ADH1. (ADH2 is still active, so ADH1 is standby)
8. I kill the NIP
9. I start the NIP

The NIP connects to the first server of its list: ADH1 (which is standby) <= this is another problem…

Am I doing something wrong?
Is there something I should do on my NIP in order to post simultaneously (via RSSL, because I can't use multicat) on both ADH?

Hi @nicolas.roux

I am not sure which TREP API you are using but I assume it is RFA.

If you want RFA to connect to both ADH, you have to use connectionList.

\Sessions\SessionOMMNIProv\connectionList = "Connection_RSSL_NIPROV,Connection_RSSL_NIPROV2"


\Connections\Connection_RSSL_NIPROV\connectionType		= "RSSL_NIPROV"
\Connections\Connection_RSSL_NIPROV\rsslPort 			= "14003"
\Connections\Connection_RSSL_NIPROV\hostName			= "192.168.27.30"

\Connections\Connection_RSSL_NIPROV2\connectionType		= "RSSL_NIPROV"
\Connections\Connection_RSSL_NIPROV2\rsslPort 			= "14003"
\Connections\Connection_RSSL_NIPROV2\hostName			= "192.168.27.60"

With this configuration, RFA should connect and publish to both ADHs.
