Hello all,

I'm working with IQFeed's API and everything works great. However, there seems to be some special occurrences where L2 data is just not available. I mean, everything goes ok, the API gets connected, and then I receive the normal startup messages:

--------------------------------
[DTN] IQConnectStatus [0,0]

[DTN L1] S,KEY,9796
[DTN L1] S,SERVER CONNECTED
[DTN L1] S,IP,66.112.148.180 60004,66.112.148.211 60002,66.112.148.212 60009,66.112.148.213 60001,66.112.148.211 60005,66.112.148.211 60012,66.112.148.200 60003,66.112.148.214 60015,66.112.148.212 60050,66.112.148.213 60014,66.112.148.212 60016,66.112.148.212 60018
[DTN L1] S,CUST,real_time,66.112.148.112,60003,xxxxxxxxxxxxx,4.7.0.9,0, L2_SERV EUREX L2 ,,500,QT_API,,


---------------------------------

Now I send "wXGM11\r\n" to port 5200, and the contract's L1 data starts flowing. No problem here.
But then, when I send "wXGM11\r\n" to 9200 (L2 port), "usually" it will work ok. I say "usually" because at least twice (being today the second one, by the way) IQFeed server will refuse to send the L2 data.

No matter if I disconnect/recconect IQLink, or whether I try restarting a number of times my software's connection. L2 data just won't arrive.

Admittedly, this has only happned twice... but it is nonetheless a worrying situation, because you can have a whole day without L2 data before IQ servers "decide" to send you the L2 data again (last time, I had no L2 data until the following day. Today , I do not know how much it will last)

has someone experienced this problem?

thanks for your time,

Do you get any traffic at all on port 9200 when it isn't working? Does it ever just stop working on an existing connection or is it always after a reconnection that you stop getting data?

Lastly, the next time it doesn't work, can you run a netstat (there is a netstat tab in the diagnostics app to do this for you) and post or email a screenshot?

After several attempts, I finally got a "cannot connect" java IO exception regarding the L2 port (9200). Which led me to think that perhaps I was not closing the client sockets in a clean way and, somehow, after a few reconnections port 9200 got "stucked" (i.e., permanently bound to an old process, thus unable to get bound by new software instances).

I found a couple of cases where the port closure wasn't clean: I've fixed it, thus let's see whether it will work. For now, today I've got my L2 data back.

thanks
