Hello,
(First post here).
For redundancy, we have two news handler processes (primary & secondary) subscribing to the MRN_STORY RIC over the ELECTRON_DD service. In our backend, we would like to de-duplicate the messages received over these two feeds so that only a single "master" copy of a news item is kept in the database. This brings a couple of questions:
1. Is it possible for the "same" news item to be published over two different MRN_SRC systems? (If this is the case, it would mean we cannot use the MRN_SRC-GUID combination as a unique identifier in the backend for de-duplication of messages - as our primary and secondary news handler processes may receive the same message over different MRN_SRC systems).
2. If the answer to (1) is "Yes", what other fields should we be looking at for redundancy removal? Perhaps we can hash some combination of fields in the JSON body of the message? But it's unclear from the documentation what fields should be used for this kind of a setup.
3. Is there a correlation between the messages received over MRN_STORY RIC and the MRN_TRNA RIC? (I'm wondering if such a relationship can be exploited for redundancy removal).
Thanks!
