Hello @f.heuschen

You can use RFA Java application to create a RIC on ATS by sending a refresh message.Please follow the steps below that modify StarterConsumer_Post example in <RFAJ package>\Examples\com\reuters\rfa\example\omm\postingConsumer to insert a RIC to ATS:

1. Modify post_input.txt to set payload=refresh_msg, name=ATS_INSERT_S and type=offstream as below:

name=ATS_INSERT_S service=API_ATS1_4 userRightsMask=create type=offstream part=single id=true sequence=false ack=true attrib=attribInfo payload=refresh_msg payloadMsgPayload=data

Note: service=API_ATS1_4 is our ATS service, you have to change to your ATS service.

2. Modify PostItemManager.createPayloadOMMMsg(PostInfo) to specify the new RIC name and its data. In this example, we create a RIC named NEW.BK with field BID(field Id 22) and ASK(field Id 25) value 200 and 205 respectively. Notice that the RIC name is specified with the FID -1 (X_RIC_NAME).

if (payloadDataType == OMMTypes.FIELD_LIST)
{
// ***** Payload : Field List - Start ***** //
    _payloadOMMEncoder.encodeFieldListInit(OMMFieldList.HAS_STANDARD_DATA,
(short)0,(short)1, (short)0);
//add RIC
   _payloadOMMEncoder.encodeFieldEntryInit((short)-1, OMMTypes.ASCII_STRING);
    //set RIC name NEW.BK
   _payloadOMMEncoder.encodeString("NEW.BK", OMMTypes.ASCII_STRING);  
    //Bid field
    _payloadOMMEncoder.encodeFieldEntryInit((short)22, OMMTypes.REAL); 
    //set value 200
   _payloadOMMEncoder.encodeReal(200, OMMNumeric.EXPONENT_0 );   
    //Ask field
    _payloadOMMEncoder.encodeFieldEntryInit((short)25, OMMTypes.REAL);
    //set value 205
   _payloadOMMEncoder.encodeReal(205, OMMNumeric.EXPONENT_0 );   
   _payloadOMMEncoder.encodeAggregateComplete();
    // ***** Payload : Field List - End ***** //
 }

3. Compile and run the application with -openItemStreams and -sendPostAfterItemOpen is false for off-stream posting (since no item stream is required as the posting will be done through the login stream)

java -cp ..\Libs\rfa.jar;D:\rfaj8.0.1.E3.all.rrg\Examples com.reuters.rfa.example.omm.postingConsumer.StarterConsumer_Post
-debug true -session myNamespace::consSession –enumType D:\rfaj8.0.1.E3.all.rrg\etc\RDM\enumtype.def -rdmFieldDictionary D:\rfaj8.0.1.E3.all.rrg\etc\RDM\RDMFieldDictionary -runTime 60 –postInputFileName D:\rfaj8.0.1.E3.all.rrg\Examples\com\reuters\rfa\example\omm\postingConsumer\post_input.txt -openItemStreams false -sendPostAfterItemOpen false

The example output if the RIC is created on ATS successfully.

Hi @f.heuschen

I wrote some code to do this a while back - which I can share a snippet of, with you below.

NOTE: This was with a slightly older version of ATS and I am not currently in a position to test my old code, but I will share in case it helps:

void InfoRecord::populatePostMsg(PostMsg &postMsg, const RFA_String & ticketID, const RFA_String & postSvcName)
{
	_attribInfo.clear();
	_attribInfo.setNameType( rfa::rdm::INSTRUMENT_NAME_RIC );
	_attribInfo.setName ( RFA_String("ATS_INSERT_S", 0, false) );
	_attribInfo.setServiceName( postSvcName );
	postMsg.setAttribInfo( _attribInfo );

	_flWiter.start( _fl );
	_fe.clear();
	_fe.setFieldID(-1); // Record Name for ATS_INSERT_S
	_dataBuffer.setFromString(_itemName,DataBuffer::StringAsciiEnum);
	_fe.setData(_dataBuffer);
	_flWiter.bind(_fe);
	
	// setup LATESTID field
	_fe.clear();
	_fe.setFieldID(LATESTID); // LATESTID
	_dataBuffer.setFromString(ticketID,DataBuffer::StringAsciiEnum);
	_fe.setData(_dataBuffer);
	_flWiter.bind(_fe);
	
	//
	// bind more fields
	//
	_flWiter.complete();
	postMsg.setPayload( _fl );
}

As mentioned I am not able to test the above at this point, but hopefully it may help.
