Millistream Database Application (MDA) version 0.9.59 released

/in /by

The Millistream MDA project team is pleased to announce the release of version 0.9.59 of our open source application for updating SQL servers with data from the Millistream Data Feed.

  • Fixed a major bug in the PostgreSQL driver which could cause MDA to enter an endless loop if a PriceHistory or CorporateActions message contained invalid data
  • Added support for MDA to connect to multiple distribution nodes simultaneously using different accounts to support use cases that previously required customers to run multiple MDA instances
  • Detect deadlock situations in the legacy MSSQL driver and rerun transactions when that happens like we do for the other drivers
  • When adjusting price history for dividends, do not alter the quantity and turnover fields
  • When adjusting price history for share redemptions, do alter the quantity fields
  • Correctly handle all different types of conversions if an CorporateAction event with an adjustment factor is replaced with a different type of CorporateAction
  • Added support for the EET table (European ESG Template)
  • Added support for arbitrary line lengths in mda.config, prior max length was 1024 characters

As previously announced, as of v0.9.33 the database schema is developed independently of the MDA and the latest schema including upgrade scripts is available on our http server under the documents section  (MDA_schemas_[version].zip). As of this writing the latest database schema is v130 and is available from https://packages.millistream.com/documents/MDA_schema_130.zip

Do note however that the latest schemas are only needed if you need the new columns/tables, they are not mandatory to operate the MDA!

We consider MDA 0.9.59 to be the best version of MDA available and we recommend that users of older versions upgrade as soon as possible.

MDA 0.9.59 is available for download from the following locations:

Windows users upgrade by running the installer for the new version.

Linux users who have added our apt or yum repositories can upgrade by simply issuing:

  • Debian/Ubuntu: “apt update && apt upgrade“
  • Red Hat/CentOS/Amazon Linux AMI: “yum upgrade“

Information on how to add these repositories are available athttps://packages.millistream.com/Linux/
