DISCUSSION A: In order to ensure that all customers benefit from a
reliable and responsive managed service, the
Managed Services
offering includes a daily limit to the maximum number of
accesses for each subscription.
The Level 1 offering (up to 50 accesses per day) was designed
to fully meet the requirements of clients needing daily updates
for exchange rates and other currency properties. Because the
properties for multiple currencies can be fetched with a single
query, up to 50 accesses to the entire data set are possible
during any given day. Additional accesses can be set up for
testing and development purposes.
The Level 1 offering was not designed for a high volume of
transactions, e.g. for performing a multitude of individual
conversions rather than just fetching the rates and do the
conversions locally. We currently recommend local deployment of
the Currency Server software to
best meet this type of need.
"Level 2" and higher volume levels for the managed services are being considered for
broader future
introduction, but are currently provided only on a case by case
basis.
