Yesterday saw the end of another
sprint, and a milestone for the current project. We finally managed to get the
Informix drivers installed on the UAT grid, followed by a release of the pricing service. This was a major step forwards - it feels like we are on the home straight now. Moving from a custom in-house cluster environment to a commercial grid application has been "interesting" - possible the most diplomatic word I could use. Its been challenging to migrating the C++
codebase together with the replacement of specific services to Java.
