406.41WWW Quote Server Unavailable?UNXA::ZASLAWSteve ZaslawTue Mar 18 1997 14:349
I have been getting "Error connecting to Quote Server" since last week when
trying to access http://www.nyo.dec.com/info/stockquote.html . This is the
official link given at http://homepage.das.dec.com/employee-infocenter.html ,
the "Employee InfoCenter." Others having the same experience?

[BTW, the page http://hndymn.zko.dec.com/quote_v1.html contains the outdated
link http://www.crl.dec.com/Digital/home.html . I believe this should be
updated to http://homepage.das.dec.com/ or
http://homepage.das.dec.com/employee-infocenter.html .]
406.42CFSCTC::SMITHTom Smith MRO1-3/D12 dtn 297-4751Tue Mar 18 1997 17:355
    We gave up on the DECnet version on Digital UNIX. Host lookups just
    kept getting worse and worse. We switched over to the UDP version for
    http://www.see.mro.dec.com/stock.cgi and haven't had a problem since.

406.43in the morning...hndymn.zko.dec.com::MCCARTHYA Quinn Martin ProductionTue Mar 18 1997 21:008
I'll update the quote_v1.html page.

Thanks 

(Btw - there is a mailto at the bottom of the page to send me this kind of
info)

406.44Server reaches 1M in 3 months - and down time hndymn.zko.dec.com::MCCARTHYA Quinn Martin ProductionTue Mar 18 1997 21:0711
Just a note.  

The quote_v1 servershas exceeded 1 million requests either  today or yesterday. 
The servers have been running for almost 92 days using a total of ~6 minutes of
CPU for the DECnet version and 3:30 for the UDP version.

Also, the system will be unavailable thisweekend as they replace air-handlers
in the zk2 facility (actually - this is only one of steps that will be required
to replace the units).

Fixed - The page was give a face lift in the process.

I also sent mail to "Stan" who is listed at the bottom of that nyo.dec.com page

406.46Quote Server on WWW working againNYOSS1::GOODMANI see you shiver with antici.........pation!Thu Mar 20 1997 15:019
    re: .41
    
    The quote server at http://www.nyo.dec.com/info/stockquote.html has
    been repaired.  Sorry for the delay, but I'm not sure we have a real
    administrator for this system any more. :^(

406.47auto feed down today ?hndymn.zko.dec.com::MCCARTHYA Quinn Martin ProductionTue Apr 01 1997 19:026
It appears that the auto feed is broken today - maybe it shuts itself 
down on April 1st (because of what has happened in the past!).

Anyway, I threw a 2:45 quote at it.  Not good news either (down 1).

406.48Lotsa red today...DECC::SULLIVANJeff SullivanTue Apr 01 1997 19:239
I noticed that VTX STOCK is not working either today (probably related to -.1).
Looking at Computer Stocks at DBC shows mostly red today...

See http://www.dbc.com/cgi-bin/htx.exe/dbcfiles/compt.html?source=blq/usawww

The Dow is also headed down on interest rate fears, so it's not just tech (or
DEC) that's down today.

406.49same processhndymn.zko.dec.com::MCCARTHYA Quinn Martin ProductionTue Apr 01 1997 22:064
VTX Stock is also fed by the same process that feeds quote_v1.  I sent off
mail to let them know it was not working.

406.50off line starting Saturday -> Monday morninghndymn.zko.dec.com::MCCARTHYA Quinn Martin ProductionTue Apr 08 1997 12:327
This weekend - the zko facility will be "powered down".  

Quote will be off line until early Monday morning.  There are a fair number of
people out there who feel a need to retrieve the quote all weekend long even 
though they know the market is closed and it isn't going to change.

    >> There are a fair number of people out there who feel a need to
    >> retrieve the quote all weekend long
    
    Does Trayquote run over the weekend? If so, then that's probably the
    main culprit.

406.52Guilty as charged!42798::ROWELLPaul Rowell @BBPWed Apr 09 1997 09:388
    Yes,
    
    Trayquote doesn't know about weekdays vs weekends! I'm really busy
    currently so I'm not sure I'll get time to add this option. I'd be
    interested to crack the larger issue of how to set a default time
    regardless of which Timezone the user is in?

406.53dead auto feed today?hndymn.zko.dec.com::MCCARTHYA Quinn Martin ProductionTue May 27 1997 16:184
It appears that the auto stock feed is dead today.  I've updated the quote from
quote_v1 a few times.
