Words. Fail. Me.

Looking at a set up of a data feed. There are two options available that I shall now illistrate through the medium of ASCII boxes: Option :-D :

+-------------+ +-------------+
| Source |---->| Destination |
+-------------+ +-------------+

Option :( :

+-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
| Source |---->| Bloat Box |---->| Slow Router |---->| Destination |
+-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+

Go on, I dare you all: which option does the client think is best? :doh:

Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

I suspect option 2 appears attractive to the (l)user...

Surely this should be:

This is data we need to get into the App quickly; it is so stupid. We're trying to make them see sense, the cost to them is actually the same which ever way we go, but with the direct feed, they need to take in another line from the supplier, with the FUBAR version we'll have to upgrade links between data centres.

Not far off it. I think the slow router takes the messages out to lunch first before forwarding anything.

Hey Nagy, this is a bit scary - I had a similar meeting yeasterday ...

+-------------+ +--------------+ +-------------+
| Source |---->| WebSphere MQ |---->| Destination |

vs

+-------------+ +-------------+ +--------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
| Source |---->| Rabbit MQ |---->| WebSphere MQ |---->| Rabbit MQ |---->| Destination |
+-------------+ +-------------+ +--------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+

The WebSphere MQ can be reached from both the source and the destination ... and the guys arguing for the second approach are developers too. So yeah, I can understand your frustration :doh:

If the first option were the better one, it ought to be more expensive. Hence... :)

I'll have to maintain a working relationship with these people - so I hope you'll understand that I can't go into specifics ;)
