Play back the markets
ReplayService for RMDS is like having a TiVo® system for your RMDS platform. Packed into a simple and elegant user experience is the ability to record and replay market data for performance and regression testing. The service frees market data users from being tied to the network or to market hours.
ReplayService mimics a complete market data infrastructure, publishing previously-recorded market data updates to subscribing applications upon request. In addition, like a digital video recorder, ReplayService lets you pause, fast-forward, and move frame-by-frame through recorded market data.
With ReplayService for RMDS, you can:
- Simplify and improve the testing of market data applications – testing is more repeatable, rigorous, frequent and comprehensive than with RMDS alone.
- Stress-test accurately – stress your RMDS infrastructure by increasing the update rates.
- Troubleshoot – pinpoint and resolve system issues by reproducing exactly both the content and timing of market data updates.
- Conduct training and perform product demonstrations using Reuters Market Data – without requiring a Reuters Market Data platform.
- Re-live the day – play back recorded data at increased rates to re-live the day in just a few minutes.
