S&P500 & Failsafe webservices
So Barra stopped updating their historical S&P numbers last November. This leaves me having to update 30+ product deployments which have been cut off from thier benchmark datasource.
I’ll admit it was rather silly to make my application dependant on a single source of information which I didn’t have control over. In hindsight it’s obvious that I should have built my own webservice, which would not be dependant on any one source of information.
I guess we live and learn. Now to find alternative datasources and roll out a new webservice and update those deployments. Like I didn’t have enough to do already.
