Author	Topic: help wanted to workaround the broken real time feed from 148 servers (3 messages, Page 1 of 1)

I found out three types of errors: 1) not found returned. 2) real time feed arrived late 3) returns corrupted messages like F,NDY XG,C,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,n,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, P,NDY XG,C,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,n,,,,,07/31/2007,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,12,2,,,,,,,,1,,,,,,, I can easily work around 1 & 2. But I am having difficulties to figure out workaround for 3. It seems IQFeed got stuck somewhere, once it happened, the symbol will not be updated. The only way I found out is to disconnect & reconnect to IQFeed. Since 148 servers return the corrupted messages quite often, the reconnection to IQFeed is fairly frequent. Somehow, this process causes IQFeed Client to crash. Could you please help so that I can get the data feed behind & go back focusing on trading? Thx

If that field is blank, you know that the message is not complete. Summary and Update messages should always contain a "Last" value. If either field is not populated, then you know the data is bad and can handle it. As for diagnosing the issue and geting it resolved, we will have to figure out the conditions for which it occurs. Are there any patterns to when it occurs(Time of day, options only, equities, futures)? Does it happen if you reduce the number of symbols you are watching or if you slowdown your requests to the server? Any extra information you can provide will help in getting this resolved.

If you have not tried that, it may work for you in this case. DTN maintain that both the initial and continued corruption should no longer happen on the new servers. The following is a discussion on this point from a couple of months ago: http://forums.dtniq.com/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=1620 Regards, Neil
