limited history - possible to get more for NT7 data servers?

[jdfagan]

Am testing the auto-merging capability for NT7 and it seems quite nice I'm using ZenFire feed.

However, I notice the history currently doesn't even go back to beginning of this year. Note, I decided to do a clean install of NT7 and not try to import any of my 6.5 data/settings as I had read of some trouble by other users when doing so.

For my test, I was using NQ 12-09. I also made sure to add via Instrument Manager the other contracts dating back to beginning of this year (NQ 09-09, NQ 06-09, NQ 03-09). Is it necessary for us to have our Instrument Manager setup with these old contracts for the auto-merging to work properly or can we just use the latest one and just specify a data far enough back in time and auto-merging will take care of it for us?

Will your NT7 data servers eventually have more history going back to at least beginning of this year on tick basis? Is your data history built from ZenFire feeds or how does that work? Ideally, would be great to have 2008 data as well and even more data if you can give it to us.

- The NT7 data sever is also in beta and thus there could be gaps and limited amount of instruments and history at this time and I believe we will migrate data from our 6.5 servers over
- Their is a migration issue which will be resolved for next update --> You can in the interim, export data from 6.5 and import this in NT7
- You only need to have the front month, no need for expired contracts --> NT takes care of this transparently
